RECITALS A. WHEREAS, the CITY has completed a comprehensive planning study in connection with the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, resulting in the adoption of the Winter Springs Town Center Plan ( "Town Center Plan"); and B. WHEREAS, OWNER is the owner of certain real property located within the boundaries of Winter Springs Town Center (the "Town Center ") on which it intends to develop a residential community and related amenities, which real property is more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein (the "Property); and C. WHEREAS, the Property is subject to the terms of that certain Agreement dated June 26, 2000 by and between the CITY and prior owners of the Property (the "Original Agreement "); and D. WHEREAS, the CITY and OWNER desire to substitute the Original Agreement with this Agreement for the future development of the Property pursuant to the CITY's Town Center Plan and Code; and E. WHEREAS, OWNER and the CITY intend, for the terms of this Agreement, to memorialize their understanding and agreement regarding their respective interest, expectations, and intentions regarding the development of the Property within the Town Center and: NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the CITY and OWNER agree as follows: 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are fully incorporated herein by reference as a material part of this Agreement. 2. APPROVAL OF FINAL ENGINEERING PLANS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OWNER shall permit and construct the residential development on the Property that is set forth in the final engineering/subdivision plans that were conditionally approved by the City Commission on March 28, 2011, and as may be amended from time to time by OWNER and the CITY. ( "Final Engineering Plans "). A copy of the Final Engineering Plans shall be maintained on file at City Hall. 3. FINAL AND FUTURE PLAT APPROVALS. The CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that the final plat for the Property presented to the City Commission on March 28, 2011 was approved in accordance with the City code. Within fourteen (14) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the CITY and OWNER shall cooperate to record the approved final plat in the Official Public Records of Seminole County as a condition precedent to OWNER exercising any rights under this Agreement. OWNER and CITY acknowledge and agree that subsequent to the filing of the final plat, OWNER shall be required to replat the Property for purposes of developing the residential units depicted on the Final Engineering Plans. However, the replatting shall not terminate or otherwise negatively affect the public dedications already set forth in the final plat and also required by the Final Engineering Plans particularly with respect to any public easements, parks, streets, Michael Blake Boulevard ( "MBB ") and Wetlands Park. The replatting of the Property may occur in phases depending on the development schedule established by the OWNER for the residential units. (a) Pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "MBB Infrastructure LOC ") in a dollar amount reasonably determined by the City, based on an estimate of a duly qualified engineer, to be financially sufficient to cover the cost of completion of the MBB infrastructure required to be constructed under the Final Engineering Plans, including, but not limited to streets, drainage facilities, sidewalks, water and sewer facilities and landscaping. The purpose of the MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be to ensure that OWNER completes the construction and installation of the MBB infrastructure in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be delivered no later than the date of the recording of the final plat. In addition, the MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until the MBB infrastructure is accepted by the CITY. Upon acceptance of the MBB infrastructure by the CITY, the CITY shall promptly return the MBB Infrastructure LOC to OWNER. (b) In connection with each re -plat of a portion of the Property, and pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable letter of Credit ( "Infrastructure LOC ") in a dollar amount sufficient to cover the cost of completion of the public infrastructure required to be constructed in connection with such re -plat, including roadways, drainage facilities, sidewalks, water and sewer facilities and landscaping. The purpose of the Infrastructure LOC shall be to ensure that OWNER completes the construction and installation of the public infrastructure associated with such re -plat in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The Infrastructure LOC shall be delivered no later than the date of the recording of the applicable re- plat. In addition, the Infrastructure LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until the public infrastructure is accepted by the CITY. Upon acceptance of the applicable public infrastructure by the CITY, the CITY shall promptly return the Infrastructure LOC to OWNER. (c) At such time the CITY accepts the public infrastructure associated with each re -plat of a portion of the Property and pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "Maintenance LOC ") in a dollar amount reasonably determined by the CITY, based on an estimate of a duly qualified engineer to be financially sufficient to cover the cost of maintenance of required and installed public improvements for two (2) years after the date of the completion and acceptance by the CITY. In addition, the Maintenance LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until it is released by the CITY promptly at such time the two year period expires. (d) At such time OWNER provides the MBB Infrastructure LOC required by subparagraph (a) above, OWNER will deliver an additional original Irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "Restoration LOC ") in the amount of One Hundred Forty Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($140,000.00) for the restoration of the Property in the event OWNER abandons or discontinues the Project and City determines that unsafe conditions exist or are created on the Property due to said discontinuance or abandonment; provided, however, in the event the $115,000.00 letter of credit and $25,000.00 cash escrow OWNER deposited with the CITY in connection with OWNER'S Early Work Permit (the "Early Work Permit LOC ") is on deposit with the CITY at the time OWNER is required to deliver the Resotration LOC, the Early Work permit LOC and $25,000.00 cash escrow may serve as the Restoration LOC for all purposes under this Agreement if the City Attorney determines that the terms and conditions of the Restoration LOC are legally sufficient to cover OWNER'S obligations under this subparagraph. For the purposes of this subparagraph and the Restoration LOC, the term restoration shall include, but not be limited to, reducing the height of stockpiles to a maximum of ten (10) feet above the existing ground elevation at the toe of slope of the stock pile, regrading all or portions of the Property in order to mulch and grass and maintain disturbed areas, installing and maintaining fences around disturbed areas fencing and screening areas deemed dangerous to the public, repairing damage to public infrastructure, regrading temporary access areas, boarding incomplete and open buildings, implementing a supplemental planting plan in order to minimize direct view of disturbed portions of the Property as observed from Tuskawilla Road and the St. Johns Landing subdivision, and other actions reasonably deemed necessary by the CITY to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the public from the abandonment of the Project. At the time OWNER provides an Infrastructure LOC in connection with the re -plat of any portion of the Property, OWNER may reduce the amount of the Restoration LOC proportionately with the amount of the Property included in the re -plat. For example if the first re -plat includes 50% of the Property, then upon posting of the required Infrastructure LOC, the Restoration LOC may be reduced by 50 %. The Restoration LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the City until it is released by the City promptly at the earlier of such time the Infrastructure LOC is provided for the final re -plat of the Property, or the restoration work is completed . (e) All LOC's required by this paragraph shall be issued by Wachovia bank, the same bank that issued the Early Work Permit LOC, or some other nationally recognized bank qualified to do business in the State of Florida that is deemed acceptable to the City. The City of Winter Springs shall be the named beneficiary under each of the LOC's and the LOC's shall be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. 4. MICHAEL BLAKE BOULEVARD (MBB). The proposed location of MBB is depicted in the Final Engineering Plans. OWNER hereby agrees to construct MBB, and related improvements for an estimated cost as more particularly described in Exhibit "B ", at its expense, in accordance with design standards as incorporated into the final engineering plans approved by the CITY, in exchange for an award from the CITY of transportation impact fee credits and/or U.S. cash funds as determined by the CITY as provided for in Winter Springs City Code Sections 9 -386 through 9 -390 in a maximum amount of Six Hundred Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty and 101Dollars DOLLARS ($602,230.10) (the "Approved MBB Credit ") inclusive of construction costs and professional fees (excluding attorney's and other related legal fees).

LIFT STATION & FORCE MAIN IMPROVEMENTS. OWNER, at its own expense, will design and construct a lift station and force main upon the Property with connection to the CITY's system at a point designated by the CITY, in the general location as depicted on the Final Engineering Plans, sized with a capacity to serve all planned units of the Property, in accordance with design standards provided by the CITY. To the extent the lift station and force main are oversized beyond that needed for development of the Property, the CITY agrees to require the developer of the adjacent property more particularly described in Exhibit "D -1" attached hereto, (the "Schrimsher Parcel ") to reimburse OWNER an amount not to exceed Forty One Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty -One and 18/100 Dollars ($41,761.18), more particularly described in the Exhibit "D -2 ", (the "Sewer Benefit Fee ") for the proportionate share of design and construction costs attributable to the excess capacity available for development of the "Schrimsher Parcel ". Prior to the City granting local approval of an FDEP sewer permit for the developer of any part of portion of the "Schrimsher" parcel the CITY shall require proof of payment of the applicable Sewer Benefit Fee or an executed agreement between the OWNER and developer stipulating payment of such fee payable upon tie -in to the lift station. The applicable Sewer Benefit Fee shall be calculated based on a cost of $652.52 ($41,761.18/64 units) per equivalent residential unit (ERU) of proposed development on the "Schrimsher Parcel ". OWNER acknowledges the CITY has no financial obligation with respect to the matters set forth in this Paragraph, except as specifically stated, and that OWNER will not seek reimbursement of the Sewer Benefit Fee from the City. Further, the reimbursement provisions hereof shall only remain in full effect for a period of ten (10) years from the date of the final Certificate of Occupancy issued on the Property. 8.

The Parks, which will be dedicated to the City on the final plat to be recorded for the Property, will be equal in quality, and acreage to the substituted Small Neighborhood Squares and Lake Trail Park referenced in the Original Agreement. The improvements to the Parks shall be started prior to issuance of the 50`x' certificate of occupancy for the Project and shall be substantially complete prior to issuance of the 125th certificate of occupancy. The Parks shall be maintained in perpetuity as accessible to the members of the HOA and the City. The HOA shall enter into a Maintenance Agreement with the CITY for any additional or enhanced maintenance of the Parks above and beyond the standard level of service normally provided for public parks of the CITY. 10. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE. OWNER agrees that all public infrastructure costs which are eligible hereunder for CITY reimbursement (by direct payment or impact fee credit) and incurred after the Effective Date of this agreement shall be subject to an informal, competitive bid process under which OWNER shall obtain three (3) written quotes or bids, unless waived as to certain labor or materials by the City Manager. At least fifteen (15) days prior to entering into any agreement or change order for the construction of infrastructure, the bidding documents shall be submitted to the CITY for review and approval, which review and approval shall not be unreasonably denied.

OWNER shall indemnify and hold the CITY and its mayor, commissioners, employees and attorney harmless from any claims, lawsuits, or actions made against the CITY by any contractor or subcontractor engaged by the OWNER, either directly or indirectly, to design, permit and construct the infrastructure which is subject to reimbursement hereunder. 11. SALES CENTER & MODEL HOMES. The CITY agrees to allow OWNER to construct both a sales office and up to four (4) model homes on the Property to be used for the customary temporary marketing and sales activities of OWNER or their successors or assigns. OWNER is encouraged to utilize existing lease space within the Town Center for the purpose of customary pre- opening marketing and sales activity as it sees fit and in addition to any onsite activities permitted under this agreement and the CITY code. The CITY agrees that all finished units within a single townhome building will be considered collectively as a single model home for purposes of this Paragraph. Further, nothing herein shall cause to limit the number of inventory homes (pre -sale, spec homes) that may be constructed on the Property. The CITY represents that such marketing and sales activities shall be permitted through buildout of the project and are not prohibited or otherwise limited under the Town Center Code. CITY agrees to permit early construction of the model homes upon completion of stabilized access and adequate means of fire protection from a City approved source of water and under the following conditions which are deemed acceptable to OWNER: (a) The model homes shall remain under OWNER's ownership and control until such time as a final certificate of occupancy for each unit is issued under the conditions set forth below. (b) The model homes shall be constructed in a location reasonably acceptable to the City, and any associated parking, pedestrian activity and other activities conducted by sales staff or the general public shall be adequately segregated from construction activities to ensure safety. (c) Prior to construction, the model homes shall be duly permitted by the City in accordance with the Town Center District Code. (d) At such time as the City Building Official completes and approves a final inspection of the model homes, the City will issue a temporary certificate of occupancy. Said temporary certificate of occupancy shall be issued for each model home as a whole. Multiple townhome units within a single townhome building will be considered collectively as a single model home unit. Occupancy of the model home units shall be limited to the sale and marketing efforts for the Project until a final certificate of occupancy is issued for such units. The foregoing shall not preclude issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy for any individual units within the same townhome building as a model unit. (e) At the request of OWNER or at such time as the Project development is completed, whichever occurs sooner, the model home units shall be converted into permanent residential units and the City shall issue final certificates of occupancy for each model home unit; provided, however, that the City Building Official determines that such units are suitable for permanent residential occupancy and in compliance with the City Codes. 7 12. CONSTRUCTION ACCESS. Construction access to the Property shall be from State Road 434 as shown on the Final Engineering Plans. OWNER may utilize MBB for construction and sales traffic for the Property. OWNER shall provide written notice of this requirement to all construction companies working at the Property.

The homeowners association shall be responsible for maintenance of all landscaping, irrigation, hardscaping and other decorative features not specifically dedicated to the CITY. In addition, the homeowners association shall be responsible for the maintenance of any decorative brick pavers in the public streets of the Property. The obligations referenced in this Paragraph 15 shall be referenced in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions to be recorded for the Property. 16. TRASH /REFUSE PICK -UP. No trash dumpster shall be located within the Property, with the exception of the clubhouse tract, which dumpster will be required to be located and screened to meet applicable Town Center Codes and Aesthetic Review standards. Trash and refuse service by individual container pickup shall be provided by the CITY's waste hauler for the clubhouse and to each individual dwelling unit from its driveway access. 17. DECORATIVE REGULATORY SIGNAGE AND LIGHTING. Prior to issuance of certificate of completion and acceptance of the infrastructure, OWNER and the CITY shall enter into a separate Use and Maintenance Agreement outlining responsibilities related to the decorative street lights and signage, including but not limited to, the cost differential between maintaining standard street lights and signs and the decorative street lighting and design requirements of the Town Center Plan. Said agreement shall substantially conform to the standard decorative street light and signage form agreement that was previously approved by the City Commission to be utilized on a citywide basis which shall be assignable and run with the land. OWNER acknowledges that prior to turning the homeowner's association over to its members, OWNER will assign the Use and Maintenance Agreement to the homeowner's association for continuation of obligations related thereto. 18. SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS IN PHASE 1. OWNER will design and construct a six foot wide concrete sidewalk along the east side of Tuskawilla Road from the Property north to tie into the existing sidewalk in front of the St. Johns Landing project and a six foot wide sidewalk along the east side of Tuskawilla Road south from the Property past the Cross Seminole Trail to tie into the existing sidewalk along Tuskawilla Road. The sidewalk shall be constructed within the right of way of Tuskawilla Road. OWNER also agrees to construct a ten (10) foot wide sidewalk on the south side of Road A as depicted in the final engineering plans. CITY agrees that the sidewalk improvements contemplated herein support the CITY's multi -modal transportation policies, specifically Transportation Element Policy 1.6.2, and constitute an equivalent multi -modal facility as referenced in said policy. CITY agrees this facility satisfies any previous obligations to construct or contribute funds for construction of a bus shelter. 19. LANDSCAPE PLANS. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained on the common areas within the Property in accordance with the landscape plans approved by the City Commission, as part of the final engineering plans for the Property. In addition to the standard Arbor Permit Fee, OWNER has contributed to the CITY'S tree bank in the amount of THIRTY -NINE THOUSAND AND NO /100 DOLLARS ($39,000.00) to partially offset the loss of tree canopy value to the CITY caused by the removal of existing trees located on the Property. 20. PROJECT SIGNAGE. CITY agrees that OWNER, as a means of directing the majority of project - related traffic trips to MBB rather than Tuskawilla Road, shall be entitled to locate temporary directional project signage within the right of way on MBB road at the intersection of MBB and S.R. 434, subject to Aesthetic Package review standards and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission, such approval as to size, location and appearance only. Said temporary signage shall be fully removed by OWNER at such time the Project is completed. 21. TREE PRESERVATION AND PLANTING SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. (a) Tree Preservation Easement - The Final Plat shall include a ten (10) foot wide Tree Preservation Easement along the rear property line of Lots 1 -13 and east and along Tuskawilla Road within the common area north of Road A and South of the State trail as generally depicted in the Final Engineering Plans, whereby existing trees greater than 12" Diameter Breast Height (DBH) shall be preserved and maintained. Additionally, the trees depicted on Exhibit `IF" which are outside the Tree Preservation Easement will be saved due to their size and quality and also will be protected under the same restrictions applicable to the Tree Preservation Easement. The Declaration of Covenants shall require that no trees may be removed from this area unless one of the following applies, i) the tree is determined by the City of Winter Springs arborist to be severely diseased, severely injured or dead, ii) the size, location or health of the tree poses a threat to public safety or private property, or iii) the size or location of the tree imposes an undue and substantial restriction on the full enjoyment and 0 ML use of Lots 1 -13 within the Property. In no way shall the Tree Preservation Easement limit the use of the rear yards of Lots 1 -13 except as required to save and protect the trees. If the City arborist authorizes the removal of any tree on any of the Lots or the common area, the owner of the property shall be subject to the tree replacement requirements set forth in the City Code. (b) Supplemental Tree Planting — OWNER shall, concurrent with completion of homes on Lots 1 -13, install a total of fifteen (15) Live Oak trees, or other canopy tree species acceptable to the CITY (100 gallon) in order to supplement the existing natural buffer between the Property and the St. Johns Landings neighborhood. The exact location of the trees may be determined on a per lot basis to maximize effectiveness and viability of the new trees. OWNER agrees that each tree planted pursuant to this subparagraph shall have a tree replacement guarantee for two years in the event that the tree becomes severely diseased or dies in the opinion of the City's arborist. 22. DEVIATIONS FROM TOWN CENTER PLAN AND CODE. OWNER and CITY have hereby agreed and the CITY approves the following deviations from the Town Center Plan and the Code, respectively: (a) Minimum Lot Width — Section 20- 324(2) requires a minimum lot width of fifty five (55) feet for front - loaded, single family dwellings within the Town Center. The proposed minimum lot width is fifty (50) feet and is intended to increase overall density in accordance with Town Center policies and goals. (b) Corner Curb Radii - Corner curb radii shall be permitted to exceed the fifteen (15) foot maximum per Section 20 -324.1 to accommodate the Seminole County fire truck where shown on the Final Engineering Plans. (c) Minimum Garage Setback - Section 20 -324 (10) (e) requires that garage doors be positioned no closer than twenty (20') feet behind the principle plane of the building frontage if there is a front - facing garage as proposed on the estate lots. The proposed estate unit designs place the garage twenty (20) feet behind the fagade of the elevated, front porch. This design meets the intent of screening parked vehicles in the driveway while also providing a transitional product design more consistent with the standard residential homes found in neighboring communities adjacent to the Property. However, for the seventy -five (75') foot estate lots, the twenty (20) foot setback shall be from the sidewalk and not from the elevated, front porch. (d) First Floor Elevation (75' estate lots) — Section 20- 324(5) requires the finished floor height of the first floor to be elevated a minimum of twenty -four (24 ") inches above the sidewalk grade. However, the seventy -five (75') estate lots do not have to meet this minimum requirement. 23. EFFECT. CITY and OWNER agree that the terms of this Agreement are intended to supersede and replace the terms of the Original Agreement as it applies specifically to the Property. OWNER assumes no obligation for any improvements or construction not specifically located within the Property, except as depicted on the Final Engineering Plans and limited to typical maintenance and warranty of infrastructure dedicated to the public upon completion. 10 24. COOPERATION. OWNER and the CITY shall cooperate fully with each other to effectuate the terms, conditions and intentions of this Agreement. 25. AUTHORITY. Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that they have full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. OWNER also represents that all legal and equitable title to the Property is currently vested in and held by OWNER and OWNER is duly authorized to bind the Property to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. CITY also represents that all requirements and procedures, including public hearings, have been properly conducted so that the execution hereof by the CITY shall constitute the final action of the CITY. 26.

WHEREAS, the Property is subject to the terms of that certain Agreement dated June 26, 2000 by and between the CITY and prior owners of the Property (the "Original Agreement "); and D. WHEREAS, the CITY and OWNER desire to substitute the Original Agreement with this Agreement for the future development of the Property pursuant to the CITY's Town Center Plan and Code; and E. WHEREAS, OWNER and the CITY intend, for the terms of this Agreement, to memorialize their understanding and agreement regarding their respective interest, expectations, and intentions regarding the development of the Property within the Town Center and: NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the CITY and OWNER agree as follows: 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are fully incorporated herein by reference as a material part of this Agreement. M 2. APPROVAL OF FINAL ENGINEERING PLANS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OWNER shall permit and construct the residential development on the Property that is set forth in the final engineering/subdivision plans that were conditionally approved by the City Commission on March 28, 2011, and as may be amended from time to time by OWNER and the CITY. ( "Final Engineering Plans "). A copy of the Final Engineering Plans shall be maintained on file at City Hall. 3. FINAL AND FUTURE PLAT APPROVALS The CITY and OWNER acknowledge and agree that the final plat for the Property presented to the City Commission on March 28, 2011 was approved in accordance with the City code. Within fourteen (14) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the CITY and OWNER shall cooperate to record the approved final plat in the Official Public Records of Seminole County as a condition precedent to OWNER exercising any rights under this Agreement. OWNER and CITY acknowledge and agree that subsequent to the filing of the final plat, OWNER shall be required to replat the Property for purposes of developing the residential units depicted on the Final Engineering Plans. However, the replatting shall not terminate or otherwise negatively affect the public dedications already set forth in the final plat and also required by the Final Engineering Plans particularly with respect to any public easements, parks, streets, Michael Blake Boulevard ( "MBB ") and Wetlands Park. The replatting of the Property may occur in phases depending on the development schedule established by the OWNER for the residential units. (a) Pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "MBB Infrastructure LOC ") in a dollar amount reasonably determined by the City, based on an estimate of a duly qualified engineer, to be financially sufficient to cover the cost of completion of the MBB infrastructure required to be constructed under the Final Engineering Plans, including, but not limited to streets, drainage facilities, sidewalks, water and sewer facilities and landscaping. The purpose of the MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be to ensure that OWNER completes the construction and installation of the MBB infrastructure in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be delivered no later than the date of the recording of the final plat. In addition, the MBB Infrastructure LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until the MBB infrastructure is accepted by the CITY. Upon acceptance of the MBB infrastructure by the CITY, the CITY shall promptly return the MBB Infrastructure LOC to OWNER. (b) In connection with each re -plat of a portion of the Property, and pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable letter of Credit ( "Infrastructure LOU) in a dollar amount sufficient to cover the cost of completion of the public infrastructure required to be constructed in connection with such re -plat, including roadways, drainage facilities, sidewalks, water and sewer facilities and landscaping. The purpose of the Infrastructure LOC shall be to ensure that OWNER completes the construction and installation of the public infrastructure associated with such re -plat in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The Infrastructure LOC shall be delivered no later than the date of the recording of the applicable re- plat. In addition, the Infrastructure LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until the public infrastructure is accepted by the CITY. Upon acceptance of the applicable public OA infrastructure by the CITY, the CITY shall promptly return the Infrastructure LOC to OWNER. (c) At such time the CITY accepts the public infrastructure associated with each re -plat of a portion of the Property and pursuant to Section 9 -76 of the City Code, OWNER will deliver to the CITY an original irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "Maintenance LOU) in a dollar amount reasonably determined by the CITY, based on an estimate of a duly qualified engineer to be financially sufficient to cover the cost of maintenance of required and installed public improvements for two (2) years after the date of the completion and acceptance by the CITY. In addition, the Maintenance LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the CITY until it is released by the CITY promptly at such time the two year period expires. (d) At such time OWNER provides the MBB Infrastructure LOC required by subparagraph (a) above, OWNER will deliver an additional original Irrevocable Letter of Credit ( "Restoration LOC ") in the amount of One Hundred Forty Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($140,000.00) for the restoration of the Property in the event OWNER abandons or discontinues the Project and City determines that unsafe conditions exist or are created on the Property due to said discontinuance or abandonment; provided, however, in the event the $115,000.00 letter of credit and $25,000.00 cash escrow OWNER deposited with the CITY in connection with OWNER'S Early Work Permit (the "Early Work Permit LOC ") is on deposit with the CITY at the time OWNER is required to deliver the Resotration LOC, the Early Work permit LOC and $25,000.00 cash escrow may serve as the Restoration LOC for all purposes under this Agreement if the City Attorney determines that the terms and conditions of the Restoration LOC are legally sufficient to cover OWNER's obligations under this subparagraph. For the purposes of this subparagraph and the Restoration LOC, the term restoration shall include, but not be limited to, reducing the height of stockpiles to a maximum of ten (10) feet above the existing ground elevation at the toe of slope of the stock pile, regrading all or portions of the Property in order to mulch and grass and maintain disturbed areas, installing and maintaining fences around disturbed areas fencing and screening areas deemed dangerous to the public, repairing damage to public infrastructure, regrading temporary access areas, boarding incomplete and open buildings, implementing a supplemental planting plan in order to minimize direct view of disturbed portions of the Property as observed from Tuskawilla Road and the St. Johns Landing subdivision, and other actions reasonably deemed necessary by the CITY to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the public from the abandonment of the Project. At the time OWNER provides an Infrastructure LOC in connection with the re -plat of any portion of the Property, OWNER may reduce the amount of the Restoration LOC proportionately with the amount of the Property included in the re -plat. For example if the first re -plat includes 50% of the Property, then upon posting of the required Infrastructure LOC, the Restoration LOC may be reduced by 50 %. The Restoration LOC shall be maintained in good standing for the benefit of the City until it is released by the City promptly at the earlier of such time the Infrastructure LOC is provided for the final re -plat of the Property, or the restoration work is completed . (e) All LOC's required by this paragraph shall be issued by Wachovia bank, the same bank that issued the Early Work Permit LOC, or some other nationally recognized bank qualified to do business in the State of Florida that is deemed acceptable to the City.

The Parks, which will be dedicated to the City on the final plat to be recorded for the Property, will be equal in quality, and acreage to the substituted Small Neighborhood Squares and Lake Trail Park referenced in the Original Agreement. The improvements to the Parks shall be started prior to issuance of the 50a' certificate of occupancy for the Project and shall be substantially complete prior to issuance of the 125th certificate of occupancy. The Parks shall be maintained in perpetuity as accessible to the members of the HOA and the City. The HOA shall enter into a Maintenance Agreement with the CITY for any additional or enhanced maintenance of the Parks above and beyond the standard level of service normally provided for public parks of the CITY. 10. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE. OWNER agrees that all public infrastructure costs which are eligible hereunder for CITY reimbursement (by direct payment or impact fee credit) and incurred after the Effective Date of this agreement shall be subject to an informal, competitive bid process under which OWNER shall obtain three (3) written quotes or bids, unless waived as to certain labor or materials by the City Manager.

OWNER shall indemnify and hold the CITY and its mayor, commissioners, employees and attorney harmless from any claims, lawsuits, or actions made against the CITY by any contractor or subcontractor engaged by the OWNER, either directly or indirectly, to design, permit and construct the infrastructure which is subject to reimbursement hereunder. 11. SALES CENTER & MODEL HOMES. The CITY agrees to allow OWNER to construct both a sales office and up to four (4) model homes on the Property to be used for the customary temporary marketing and sales activities of OWNER or their successors or assigns. OWNER is encouraged to utilize existing lease space within the Town Center for the purpose of customary pre - opening marketing and sales activity as it sees fit and in addition to any onsite activities permitted under this agreement and the CITY code. The CITY agrees that all finished units within a single townhome building will be considered collectively as a single model home for purposes of this Paragraph. Further, nothing herein shall cause to limit the number of inventory homes (pre -sale, spec homes) that may be constructed on the Property.

(c) Prior to construction, the model homes shall be duly permitted by the City in accordance with the Town Center District Code. (d) At such time as the City Building Official completes and approves a final inspection of the model homes, the City will issue a temporary certificate of occupancy. Said temporary certificate of occupancy shall be issued for each model home as a whole. Multiple townhome units within a single townhome building will be considered collectively as a single model home unit. Occupancy of the model home units shall be limited to the sale and marketing efforts for the Project until a final certificate of occupancy is issued for such units. The foregoing shall not preclude issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy for any individual units within the same townhome building as a model unit. (e) At the request of OWNER or at such time as the Project development is completed, whichever occurs sooner, the model home units shall be converted into permanent residential units and the City shall issue final certificates of occupancy for each model home unit; provided, however, that the City Building Official determines that such units are suitable for permanent residential occupancy and in compliance with the City Codes. 7 12. CONSTRUCTION ACCESS. Construction access to the Property shall be from State Road 434 as shown on the Final Engineering Plans. OWNER may utilize MBB for construction and sales traffic for the Property. OWNER shall provide written notice of this requirement to all construction companies working at the Property.

OWNER also agrees to construct a ten (10) foot wide sidewalk on the south side of Road A as depicted in the final engineering plans. CITY agrees that the sidewalk improvements contemplated herein support the CITY's multi -modal transportation policies, specifically Transportation Element Policy 1.6.2, and constitute an equivalent multi -modal facility as referenced in said policy. CITY agrees this facility satisfies any previous obligations to construct or contribute funds for construction of a bus shelter. 19. LANDSCAPE PLANS. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained on the common areas within the Property in accordance with the landscape plans approved by the City Commission, as part of the final engineering plans for the Property. In addition to the standard Arbor Permit Fee, OWNER has contributed to the CITY'S tree bank in the amount of THIRTY -NINE THOUSAND AND NO /100 DOLLARS ($39,000.00) to partially offset the loss of tree canopy value to the CITY caused by the removal of existing trees located on the Property. 20. PROJECT SIGNAGE. CITY agrees that OWNER, as a means of directing the majority of project - related traffic trips to MBB rather than Tuskawilla Road, shall be entitled to locate temporary directional project signage within the right of way on MBB road at the intersection of MBB and S.R. 434, subject to Aesthetic Package review standards and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission, such approval as to size, location and appearance only. Said temporary signage shall be fully removed by OWNER at such time the Project is completed. 21. TREE PRESERVATION AND PLANTING SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. (a) Tree Preservation Easement - The Final Plat shall include a ten (10) foot wide Tree Preservation Easement along the rear property line of Lots 1 -13 and east and along Tuskawilla Road within the common area north of Road A and South of the State trail as generally depicted in the Final Engineering Plans, whereby existing trees greater than 12" Diameter Breast Height (DBH) shall be preserved and maintained. Additionally, the trees depicted on Exhibit "F" which are outside the Tree Preservation Easement will be saved due to their size and quality and also will be protected under the same restrictions applicable to the Tree Preservation Easement. The Declaration of Covenants shall require that no trees may be removed from this area unless one of the following applies, i) the tree is determined by the City of Winter Springs arborist to be severely diseased, severely injured or dead, ii) the size, location or health of the tree poses a threat to public safety or private property, or iii) the size or location of the tree imposes an undue and substantial restriction on the full enjoyment and C use of Lots 1 -13 within the Property. In no way shall the Tree Preservation Easement limit the use of the rear yards of Lots 1 -13 except as required to save and protect the trees. If the City arborist authorizes the removal of any tree on any of the Lots or the common area, the owner of the property shall be subject to the tree replacement requirements set forth in the City Code. (b) Supplemental Tree Planting — OWNER shall, concurrent with completion of homes on Lots 1 -13, install a total of fifteen (15) Live Oak trees, or other canopy tree species acceptable to the CITY (100 gallon) in order to supplement the existing natural buffer between the Property and the St. Johns Landings neighborhood. The exact location of the trees may be determined on a per lot basis to maximize effectiveness and viability of the new trees. OWNER agrees that each tree planted pursuant to this subparagraph shall have a tree replacement guarantee for two years in the event that the tree becomes severely diseased or dies in the opinion of the City's arborist. 22. DEVIATIONS FROM TOWN CENTER PLAN AND CODE. OWNER and CITY have hereby agreed and the CITY approves the following deviations from the Town Center Plan and the Code, respectively: (a) Minimum Lot Width — Section 20- 324(2) requires a minimum lot width of fifty five (55) feet for front - loaded, single family dwellings within the Town Center. The proposed minimum lot width is fifty (50) feet and is intended to increase overall density in accordance with Town Center policies and goals. (b) Corner Curb Radii - Corner curb radii shall be pennitted to exceed the fifteen (15) foot maximum per Section 20 -324.1 to accommodate the Seminole County fire truck where shown on the Final Engineering Plans. (c) Minimum Garage Setback - Section 20 -324 (10) (e) requires that garage doors be positioned no closer than twenty (20') feet behind the principle plane of the building frontage if there is a front - facing garage as proposed on the estate lots. The proposed estate unit designs place the garage twenty (20) feet behind the fagade of the elevated, front porch. This design meets the intent of screening parked vehicles in the driveway while also providing a transitional product design more consistent with the standard residential homes found in neighboring communities adjacent to the Property. However, for the seventy -five (75') foot estate lots, the twenty (20) foot setback shall be from the sidewalk and not from the elevated, front porch. (d) First Floor Elevation (75' estate lots) — Section 20- 324(5) requires the finished floor height of the first floor to be elevated a minimum of twenty -four (24 ") inches above the sidewalk grade. However, the seventy -five (75') estate lots do not have to meet this minimum requirement. 23. EFFECT. CITY and OWNER agree that the terms of this Agreement are intended to supersede and replace the terms of the Original Agreement as it applies specifically to the Property. OWNER assumes no obligation for any improvements or construction not specifically located within the Property, except as depicted on the Final Engineering Plans and limited to typical maintenance and warranty of infrastructure dedicated to the public upon completion. 10 24. COOPERATION. OWNER and the CITY shall cooperate fully with each other to effectuate the terms, conditions and intentions of this Agreement. 25. AUTHORITY.
