DRC Lots – Developer:  Discussion involved “Limited Developer Status Agreement” / June 9, 2006 and “Developer Agreement” / December 20, 2008.
o   Developer Agreement, section 6. Affiliated Development Transactions: Should DRC, DH (Diamondhead Holdings, LLC) or their affiliates, develop any property which is accessed by utilization of a DPOA road, then DRC, DH or their affiliates shall cause covenants and restrictions to be filed of record against such property that will require the property owners within that development to pay DPOA dues thereunder, commencing on the sale by DRC, DH or their affiliates to a third-party purchaser.  Any property, which is owned by DRC, DH or their affiliates, outside the Diamondhead property, or can be accessed utilizing roadways not the property of the DPOA, shall not be subject to this paragraph.  DRC, DH or their affiliates shall be entitled to utilize the roadways owned by DPOA to access its property, residential or commercial.

o   Developer Agreement, section 3. DPOA Lot Conveyance:  The DPOA has installed a program where lots can be conveyed to them in lieu of payment of the DPOA dues.  The DPOA will transfer the ownership of the property to the Developer by means of a Quit Claim Deed.  Upon confirmation that title is acceptable, the Developer will place the lot in its inventory for sale.  The Developer will pay to the DPOA the sum of $300,00 per lot at the time of transfer of the lot to the Developer.  Upon acceptance of the lot the Developer will be responsible for real estate taxes.  The parties further agree that DRC and DH, The Developer, will attempt to sell individual lots to individual people who will then become owner of those lots who will then remit payment of property ownership association dues and Riviera Fees.  The parties also agree, however, that if the Developer should locate an entity that wishes to purchase a block of lots held by Developer for the purpose of developing those lots and selling them to unrelated third parties, the Developer may convey a block of lots to such entity without additional approval from DPOA.  Any entity(s) purchasing a block of lots from DRC and/or DH (Diamondhead Holdings, LLC) shall then be a “Developer” for purposes of this agreement.  Provided however, that entity that receives Developer Status must agree that a minimum 10% of the original number of lots purchased or one lot, whichever is greater, shall become dues paying lots each year thereafter, by either, sales of lots to third parties, construction of homes, or dues paid by that third-party Developer.  Should DRC and/or DH receive title to lots back from a third-party Developer, for any reason, this provision shall not apply.
