(a) No Partial Release of a Partial Release Property will be permitted until after the First Open Defeasance Date or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Partial Release of the Partial Release Property will be permitted on or after the First Open Payment Date. No more than two Partial Release Properties may be released during the term of the Loan.
(b) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (i.e., exclusive of any income from the Partial Release Property) is and shall continue to be equal to or greater than the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Mortgaged Property calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release (i.e., inclusive of the income from the Partial Release Property), and (ii) 1.30:1.00. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount. No Partial Defeasance, nor any increase in any Partial Defeasance Amount under this paragraph (b) or paragraphs (c) below, shall affect the allocated loan amounts for the remaining Mortgaged Property as set forth on Schedule 2.17.
(c) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the value of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (as determined by then-current Appraisals prepared by Appraisers approved by Lender, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by Borrower) is sufficient to satisfy a loan-to-value ratio (based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release, less the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property) which is the lesser of (i) 75% and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for the Mortgaged Property (inclusive of the Partial Release Property, and based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release) calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount.
(d) The Partial Release shall be allowed only in connection with a bona fide all-cash sale of the Partial Release Parcel to an unaffiliated third party on arms-length terms and conditions, and upon closing of such sale (and thereafter) shall not be owned, purchased or acquired by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.
(e) Borrower will on the date of the Partial Release (the “Partial Release Date”) complete a Partial Defeasance, pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, of a portion of the Loan (the “Partial Defeasance Amount” for such Partial Release Property) equal to 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property set forth on Schedule 2.17 hereto; provided, that if Borrower elects in connection with a Partial Defeasance of a Partial Release Property to increase the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and/or (c) above, the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property shall be such higher amount for purposes of such Partial Defeasance.
(f) Borrower will execute (and Guarantor will consent in writing thereto and reaffirm their obligations under the Loan Documents to which they are a party notwithstanding the Partial Release) and deliver all such amendments to the Loan Documents and other instruments or documents as may be required by Lender (using commercial standards customarily applied with respect to mortgage loans such as the Loan) in order to continue to fully protect Lender’s lien and security interest in the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(g) Borrower will cause the Master Homesite Lease(s) to be amended to exclude the Partial Release Property pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(h) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain endorsements to Lender’s loan policy of title insurance satisfactory in form and content to Lender, which endorsements will (a) affirmatively evidence the continued validity of Lender’s first lien position created by the Loan Documents through the date of recordation of the partial release of the Partial Release Property, and (b) insure that the lien created by the Loan Documents remains a valid first lien on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(i) Borrower shall pay for the costs of preparing and recording partial releases, UCC-3 releases, and any loan modification documents, easements, declarations, and/or restrictive covenants required by Lender, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, all survey charges and costs, all title premiums and costs, documentary stamps incurred in connection with the release of the Partial Release Property in accordance with the requirements contained herein, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the requested release of the Partial Release Property.
(j) Borrower shall have provided Lender with a Rating Confirmation with respect to the Partial Release.
(k) Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the Partial Release, as set forth below.

(v) the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the closing of the sale, a photocopy of the final signed closing statement with respect to the sale of such Collateral, it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to submit a closing statement within such time period shall not constitute a Default hereunder;
(vi) the Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any partial release of the Mortgage;
(vii) the Borrower pays, or causes to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the Release Consideration for any Collateral to be released from the Mortgages under this Section 4.2(a), which Release Consideration shall be applied to payment of any outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder, and to the extent no Revolving Loans are outstanding or if following payment of outstanding Revolving Loans additional funds remain, such Release Consideration shall be returned to the Borrower within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such proceeds by the Administrative Agent; and
(viii) no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a)(viii), during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 4.2(a)(i) through (a)(vi) are satisfied, and (ii) Borrower pays, or causes to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the Release Consideration required to be paid under Section 4.2(a)(vii) (which the parties agree shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.5), then the Administrative Agent shall issue partial releases from the Lien of a Mortgage and other Security Documents for (y) the sale, transfer or conveyance by the Borrower of any Presold Housing Unit, Lots Under Development, Finished Lots or Land Held for Development pursuant to a valid, bona-fide agreement between the Borrower and a third party entered into prior to the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default, or (z) the sale, transfer or conveyance by the Borrower of any other Housing Unit, Lots Under Development, Finished Lots or Land Held for Development with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
(i) With respect to any Collateral other than Housing Units, upon five (5) Business Days prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will execute all partial release documents for such Collateral other than Housing Units released from Mortgages, and (ii) with respect to any Housing Units, once per month, the Administrative Agent will execute all partial release documents for such Housing Units released from Mortgages during the preceding month, which partial release documents will be executed on the forms of release previously prepared and forwarded by the Borrower as set forth above or on such other release documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and customarily used in the applicable jurisdiction.
(c) Upon request by the Borrower and without payment of any release price or Release Consideration, or other amount, the Administrative Agent shall also release land from the Lien of the Mortgages and other Security Documents or subordinate such Liens, all as necessary to effect necessary dedications of roadways or utility and service areas to Governmental Authorities or utility companies, to convey common areas to homeowners or condominium associations, and to allow the recordation of plats, easements and declarations to the extent such are common or reasonably necessary for the development of Collateral for residential purposes, and Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such release. Releases of Collateral from the Mortgages and other Security Documents shall not affect or impair the Lien of the Mortgages and the Administrative Agent’s Lien and security interests created by the other Loan Documents as to the Collateral and other property encumbered by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents not theretofore released, and said Liens and security interests shall continue in full force and effect as to the Collateral and such other property not released. Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, no Collateral shall be released from the Lien of a Mortgage applicable thereto. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release Collateral in accordance with this Section 4.2.
