Updated October 28, 2006

Hello:

Thank you for your interest in acquiring land in Colonia Nova. The Sim Planning
Committee has developed this informational packet to help assist you in gathering as much
information as possible so that you can make an informed decision. In this package, you will
find land pricing information, a copy of the land use covenants, as well as information
regarding completing your land transaction. We hope that this information will help you make
the decision to move to Colonia Nova and encourage you to inquire with any member of the
Sim Planning Committee if you have any further questions.

Respectfully,

The Sim Planning Committee of Colonia Nova

Land Covenants

All land in the Confederation of Democratic Simulators is subject to a land covenant,
which is a document approved by the Representative Assembly that states the permissible uses
and restrictions for each type of land in the region. Some land types have strict aesthetic and
thematic restrictions, requiring residents to maintain structures that meet the given criteria.
Other land types have more stringent restrictions, only maintaining the basic region-wide
restrictions on certain activities and objects.

Land Pricing

On the following page, you will find a spreadsheet listing every salable plot of land in
Colonia Nova, along with important figures regarding plot size and prim count, as well as the
initial and monthly cost. Owning land in Colonia Nova is slightly different than owning land on
the Mainland, as instead of paying your monthly fee to Linden Labs, you instead pay the
monthly fee to the treasurer of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, who in turn
consolidates all of the payments and forwards it on to Linden Labs. This allows us to bring you
your land at a consistent rate per meter instead of relying on a tiered fee schedule, as is in
place on the mainland, saving you money!

It is important to note that all land transactions are priced in US Dollars. The Linden
Dollar figures that are seen on the website and in the chart below are for reference purposes
and are subject to fluctuation as the Linden Dollar gains or loses value in relation to the US
Dollar. For your convenience, payments may be made in Linden Dollars, but please check with
the treasurer regarding the current exchange rate to be sure that you remit the correct
amount.

To purchase a plot of land, please e-mail sudane.erato@gmail.com. Sudane Erato is the
current treasurer for the Confederation of Democratic Simulators and can provide the current
costs in Linden Dollars, as well as provide information on alternative payment methods, as well
as completing your land purchase.
