(iv.) Status of Village and Pad Site Sales
The village and the pad site land are comprised of approximately 28 separate parcels. At the time of issuance of the Series 2004 Bonds, one parcel had been closed and an additional eleven parcels were under contract and expected to close by December 31, 2004.

The developer may instead choose to retain certain parcels to sell, lease or develop in the future.
According to the developer, as of December 31, 2008, there have been 20 lots sold, totaling approximately 128.9 acres, within the village and pad sites. Table III-4 below provides a list of lots sold including the owner and proposed use.
