AGREEMENT:
NOW THEREFORE, For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Co-Agents, and the Banks agree as follows:
1. Waivers.
(a) The Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, and the Banks
waive compliance by Borrower with the following Financial Covenants as
of December 31, 1996:
(i) The Maximum Total Debt to Tangible Net Worth
Covenant of Section 6.22.3 of the Revolving Loan Agreement;

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, and the Banks
waive compliance by Borrower with the PICD requirements and
restrictions of Section 7.16.3 of the Revolving Loan Agreement for the
period from December 31, 1996 through March 31, 1997.
(c) The foregoing waivers shall relate only to the Financial
Covenants referred to above and only as of the date stated. Nothing
contained herein shall waive compliance with any other provisions of
the Loan Documents or with respect to any other date or period. Nothing
contained herein shall obligate Administrative Agent, Co-Agents or the
Banks to grant any additional waivers to Borrower.
2. Amendment.
(a) Section 3.7.5(h) of the Revolving Loan Agreement is amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
"Unit Completion Percentage" means, for any Unit, the lesser
of (i) the current percentage of construction completed as reflected in
each Borrowing Base Report, based upon the ratio of (A) costs already
incurred and paid for by Borrower for material and labor actually
incorporated into such Unit pursuant to the Unit Budget (other than the
Unit Lot Cost), to (B) the Unit Budget; and (ii) the applicable
percentages set forth in the Construction Draw Schedules set forth on
Exhibit 3.7.5(h), based on the stage of completion of the particular
Unit; provided, however, that prior to March 31, 1997, Unit Completion
Percentages will be determined without regard to this clause (ii) but
shall instead be in increments of 5%.
2
(b) Section 3.7.5(e)(v) of the Revolving Loan Agreement is amended
in its entirety to read as follows:
(v) With respect to each A&D Land Project, the lesser of (A)
60% of the A&D Project Appraised Value (A&D Project Appraised Values
being determined as set forth in Section 3.10) for that A&D Project, or
(B) 60% of the A&D Project Cost for that A&D Project; provided,
however, that if the A&D Project for which the Maximum Allowed Advance
is being determined for purposes of this clause (v), and for the
purposes of clause (vi) and clause (vii) below, consists of more than
125 lots, then the percentages in this clause (v) and the percentages
in clause (vi) and clause (vii) will each be reduced by subtracting 5%
from the stated percentages; provided further, that if an A&D Land
Project consists of Existing A&D Entitled Land Collateral or of the
MountainBrook Village Collateral added pursuant to Section 3.4.4 and
is, on the following adjustment dates, still entitled to be included as
Eligible Collateral, then on the first day of the 13th Calendar Month
following the A&D Eligibility Date for such A&D Land Project and on the
first day of each 6th Calendar Month thereafter, the percentages set
forth in this clause (v) (as adjusted pursuant to the first proviso in
this clause (v), if applicable) will be reduced on each such day by
subtracting 5% from the percentage that otherwise would apply; provided
further that with respect to any A&D Land Project, A&D Development
Project and A&D Finished Lot Project first included as Eligible
Collateral after November 1, 1996, the percentages that would otherwise
be applicable pursuant to this clause (v) or pursuant to clause (vi) or
clause (vii) shall be further reduced on March 31, 1997 by five percent
(5%) from the percentage that would otherwise apply (after giving
effect to the adjustments pursuant to the first and second provisos of
this sentence).
3. Extension of Eligibility for Certain Existing A&D Entitled Land.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.4.1 of the Revolving Loan Agreement,
the A&D Land Projects consisting of the Existing A&D Entitled Land described on
Exhibit 3.2.5(k) of the Revolving Loan Agreement as the Villages-Xxxxxxx project
and the Villages-Del Lago project shall be entitled to be included as Eligible
Collateral (as A&D Land Projects) from November 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997.
4. Inducements to the Banks. As additional consideration and inducement
to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, and the Banks to grant the waivers
and modifications set forth in this Fourth Amendment and to agree to the other
terms of this Fourth Amendment, with knowledge that the Administrative Agent,
the Co-Agents, and the Banks would not enter into this Fourth Amendment but for
the provisions of this Paragraph 4:
(a) Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent, the Co-Agents, and the Banks that:
(i) All Obligations under the Revolving Loan
Agreement (as amended by this Fourth Amendment) and the Loan
Documents are and continue to be valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, and are and continue to be secured by the
Collateral;
(ii) All of the representations and warranties set
forth in the Revolving Loan Agreement (as amended by this
Fourth Amendment) and the other Loan Documents continue to be
true and correct as of the date hereof;
(iii) With respect to the Revolving Loan Agreement
(as amended hereby), all property and interests (including,
without limitation, property and interests that constitute
3
Eligible Collateral and property and interests that are not
included in the Eligible Collateral) encumbered under any
Deeds of Trust constitute, and shall continue to be, first
priority liens and collateral security for all of the
Obligations, and the value of such Collateral is and has at
all times been, in the aggregate, greater than the amount of
the Obligations;
(iv) Borrower has no defense, setoff, claim or
counterclaim against the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents,
or the Banks in regard to its obligations under the Revolving
Loan Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, any other
Loan Document, any document, instrument, transaction, act or
omission arising out of or related to the Obligations, the
Revolving Loan Agreement (as amended by this Fourth
Amendment), or any other obligation to the Banks, the
Administrative Agent or the Co- Agents, or any of them.
(b) Borrower and all guarantors fully, finally, and forever
release and discharge the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, and the
Banks, and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers,
employees, agents, and representatives from any and all actions, causes
of action, claims, debts, demands, liabilities, obligations, and suits,
of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity of Borrower or any of the
guarantors whether now known or unknown: (i) in respect of the loan
made pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) or
the acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents,
and/or the Banks, or any of them, in respect thereto and (ii) arising
from events occurring prior to the execution and delivery of this
Fourth Amendment by Borrower.
(c) In connection with the releases and waivers contained
herein, Borrower and each guarantor hereby expressly waive any and all
rights and benefits conferred upon it by the provisions of Section 1542
of the California Civil Code (or similar provisions of any other
applicable law) which provides:
"A general release does not extend to claims which
the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at
the time of executing the release, which if known by him must
have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Borrower and each guarantor have been advised by their legal counsel,
or Borrower and each guarantor have made a reasoned and fully informed
decision not to be so represented by counsel, and understand and
acknowledge the significance and consequences of this release and of
this specific waiver of Section 1542, and Borrower and each guarantor
expressly consent that the releases contained herein shall be given
full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms
and provisions including those relating to unknown and unsuspected
claims, demands and causes of action, if any, as well as those relating
to any other claims, demands and causes of action hereinabove
specified. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be an agreement by the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents or the Banks that California law is
the governing law under the Loan Documents.
5. Ratification. As modified by this Fourth Amendment, the
Revolving Loan Agreement is ratified and confirmed and continues in full force
and effect.
6. Counterpart Execution. This Fourth Amendment may be executed
in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of
which together will constitute one and
4
the same document. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and
attached to a single copy of this Fourth Amendment to physically form one
document. Telecopied signature pages will be acceptable, provided originally
signed signature pages are provided to each of the other parties by overnight
courier.
7. Integration. This Fourth Amendment shall constitute one of the Loan
Documents, and the Loan Documents, together with this Fourth Amendment, contain
the complete understanding and agreement of Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Co-Agents and the Banks with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
Revolving Loan Agreement (except as between the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Agents and the Banks with respect to matters set forth in the
Agency/Participation Agreement) and supersede all prior representations,
warranties, agreements, arrangements, understandings, and negotiations,
including the Loan Commitment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Fourth
Amendment.
