(3) third, to the payment of principal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Lender from any party will be applied in any order that Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.

(b) If any installment of interest and/or the payment of principal is not received by Lender within 5 Business Days after the due date thereof, then in addition to the remedies conferred upon Lender pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof and the other Loan Documents, Lender may elect to assess a late charge of 4% of the amount of the installment due and unpaid, which late charge will be added to the delinquent amount to compensate Lender for the expense of handling the delinquency. Borrower and Lender agree that the late charge represents a good faith and fair and reasonable estimate of the probable cost to Lender of the delinquency. Borrower acknowledges that during the time that any such amount is in default, Lender will incur losses that are impracticable, costly and inconvenient to ascertain and that the late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of the execution of this Loan Agreement and represents a reasonable estimate of the losses Lender will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Acceptance of the late charge will not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and will not prevent Lender from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available hereunder.

Lender’s right to require satisfaction of each of the foregoing conditions and to receive and review the materials listed above will not impose upon Lender any obligation whatsoever to Borrower, any general contractor, any architect, any purchasers of the Lots or any other party whatsoever with respect to any of the subject matter constituting such conditions, nor will it operate to release Borrower from liability for any misrepresentations or breaches pursuant to this Loan Agreement (notwithstanding any opportunity of Lender to discover such misrepresentation or breach from materials provided to Lender as a condition of closing). Borrower understands and agrees that such conditions are for the sole purpose of protecting Lender’s Loan advances and providing security for the Loan and are made solely for Lender’s benefit.

The making of any disbursement, either before or after the satisfaction of all conditions

precedent with respect to Lender’s obligation to make the same will not be deemed to constitute an approval or acceptance by Lender of the Development Work theretofore completed or a waiver of the condition with respect to a subsequent disbursement.

Section 3.5 Commencement of Development Work in Phases

To obtain the consent of Lender to funding of a new Phase of the Project, Borrower must submit to Lender a request to commence the new Phase along with:

(1) a final, recorded Map showing the proposed Phase and the Finished Lots to be created therein; provided, however, that Borrower shall have until no later than July 30, 2007, to record a final Map that covers all of Phase 1;

Except as otherwise may have been approved in writing by Lender and as to which Lender has received such endorsements (including mechanics lien coverage) to the Title Policy as Lender may require to assure the priority of the Security Instrument as a valid first lien on the Project, subject only to Permitted Exceptions, Borrower represents that, prior to recordation of the Security Instrument, neither Borrower, nor anyone acting on Borrower’s behalf has (i) commenced construction of the Development Work, any grading or site clearance related thereto, or any work of any kind or nature that could give rise to a lien against the Project, (ii) purchased, contracted for or otherwise brought upon the Land any materials, specially fabricated or otherwise, to be incorporated into any work to be performed on the Land, including the Development Work, or (iii) entered into any contract or arrangement, the performance of which by any other party thereto could give rise to a lien or claim on the Project or any portion thereof.

Section 6.4 Access to the Project

All roads, streets, traffic turn lanes, and access ways necessary for the full utilization of the Project for its intended purpose have either been completed or the necessary rights of way have either been acquired by the appropriate governmental authority or have been dedicated to public use and accepted by the appropriate governmental authority. The Project is either contiguous to, or otherwise has access via a permanent, recorded easement, to any public streets or roads necessary to provide access to the Project.

Section 6.5 Compliance with Laws and Regulations

The Project, the proposed and actual use thereof, and the Development Work when completed will comply with the Laws and Regulations. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower (after due inquiry), threatened before any court, quasi-judicial body or administrative agency relating to the validity of the Loan or the proposed or actual use of the Project.

Section 6.6 Covenants, Zoning, Codes, Permits and Consents

Borrower is familiar and has complied with all of the Laws and Regulations to be complied with in connection with the construction of the Development Work.

Borrower will properly comply with and keep in effect the Map and all permits, licenses and approvals that are required to be obtained from governmental bodies in order to construct, occupy, operate, market and sell the Project. Borrower will promptly deliver copies of the Map for each Phase and all such permits, licenses and approvals to Lender.

Section 6.9 Plans and Specifications; Budget

(a) The Plans and Specifications are a true, complete and accurate depiction in all material respects of the Development Work. The Plans and Specifications are satisfactory to Borrower and have been or will be timely reviewed and approved by Borrower and the general

contractor for the Project. The Plans and Specifications have also been approved (or will in a timely manner be approved) as required by all governmental bodies or agencies having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any local design review boards) and by the beneficiary of any restrictive covenant affecting, or the holder of any other approval rights with respect to, the Project. There are no structural defects in the Development Work as shown in the Plans and Specifications, and no violation of any of the Laws and Regulations exists with respect to the Plans and Specifications.

(b) After diligent investigation of all relevant conditions and due consultation with such parties as Borrower deems appropriate, Borrower represents that the Budget identifies on a line item basis all costs to be incurred in connection with the Project and all costs for which proceeds of the Loan are to be disbursed. The Budget reflects Borrower’s best, true, accurate and complete estimate, but not a guaranty, of the costs shown therein and of the costs estimated to be necessary to construct the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

Section 6.10 Changes to Plans and Specifications and Budget

(a) The following Changes, whether made by change order or otherwise, to any of (i) the Budget, (ii) the Plans and Specifications, or (iii) working drawings relating to the Development Work, require the prior written approval of Lender:

(1) any Change that, together with all prior increases, will result in an increase to the total Budget for the Development Work of 5% or more, it being understood that the foregoing does not apply to increases to particular line items of the Budget unless the increase to the line item will result in an increase to the total Budget for the Development Work of 5% or more;

(2) any Change that, together with all prior decreases, will result in a decrease to the total Budget for the Development Work of 5% or more, it being understood that the foregoing does not apply to decreases to particular line items of the Budget unless the decrease to the line item will result in a decrease to the total Budget for the Development Work of 5% or more;

provided, however, with respect to subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) above, that Borrower may not offset against each other increases and decreases in the total Budget for the Development Work, it being the intent that an increase or a decrease in the total Budget for the Development Work that meets any of the thresholds set forth in subparagraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) or in this subparagraph (a)(3) will require the prior approval of Lender; and

(b) As a condition to its approval of any Change described in subparagraph (a), Lender may require verification that the Change:

(1) is a Change as to which Borrower has complied with the terms of subparagraph (d) of this Section 6.10;

(2) will not adversely affect the value of Lender’s security;

(3) is not a material change in structure, design, exterior appearance, square footage, or function;

(4) would not cause an increase in any line item or category of the Budget in excess of the contingencies (if any) specifically contained in the Budget for that line item or category;

(5) has been approved by the Inspector;

(6) would be consistent with the Laws and Regulations; and

(7) is a Change as to which Borrower has obtained any approvals required pursuant to Section 6.10(e).

Lender is under no duty to review or inform Borrower of the quality or suitability of the Plans and Specifications, any contract or subcontract or any changes thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.10, Borrower must obtain Lender’s prior written approval of any alteration in the Plans and Specifications that might adversely affect the value of Lender’s security or that, regardless of cost, is a material change in structure, design, function or exterior appearance.

(c) Borrower agrees to provide Lender with copies of all change orders, together with all additional documents that Lender may reasonably require in order to evaluate a request for approval of a Change of a type described in subparagraph (a) above. These documents may include the following: (i) a written description of the Change and related working drawings and (ii) a written estimate of the cost of the Change and the time necessary to complete it. Lender may take a reasonable time to evaluate any requests for approval of a Change, and may require that all other approvals required from other parties be obtained before it reviews any requested Change. Lender may approve or disapprove Changes in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. Borrower acknowledges that any requested Changes may result in delays and agrees that any delays caused by Lender or any other Person or circumstance will not affect Borrower’s obligation to complete each element of the Development Work in accordance with the Construction Progress Schedule, subject to extensions due to Force Majeure Events.

(d) If either:

(1) the proceeds of the Loan that are available for disbursement will not be sufficient to complete the Development Work as scheduled; or

(2) the costs of the Project have increased over the amount set forth in the Budget by an amount in excess of the amount set forth in subparagraphs (a)(1) or (a)(3),

then Borrower must submit to Lender a revised Budget for the Project, together with (i) a request that Lender approve an increase in the Loan Amount, which request Lender may approve or disapprove in its absolute and sole discretion, or (ii) evidence that Borrower has sufficient funds to pay the increased costs. If Borrower provides evidence of sufficient funds, Lender will not be obligated to disburse additional amounts of the Loan pursuant to Section 3.2 until Borrower provides to Lender evidence that it has paid from its own funds, in addition to any Borrower

funds that the Budget requires, an amount at least equal to the increase. Any such revised Budget for the Project submitted to Lender must be accompanied by a written report from the Inspector stating that the Inspector has reviewed and approved the revised Budget.

(e) In addition to obtaining the prior written approval of Lender in connection with any Change described in this Section 6.10, Borrower must also obtain, to the extent that such approvals may be required, (i) the approvals of the appropriate governmental authorities to any Change and (ii) from the appropriate persons or entities approvals of any alterations in the Map, the Plans and Specifications or any work, materials or contracts that are required by any of the Laws and Regulations or under the terms of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.11 Adequacy of Loan Amount

The Loan Amount is sufficient to pay all costs of the acquisition of the Land and all costs of the Development Work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all remaining costs related thereto, except as has been specifically disclosed to and approved in writing by Lender.

Section 6.12 Construction Start and Completion

Borrower will commence construction of the Development Work no later than the date set forth in the Loan Summary. Borrower will thereafter diligently proceed with construction and completion of the Development Work in a good and workerlike manner in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Construction Progress Schedule, provided that dates set forth in the Construction Progress Schedule will be extended up to a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) days if (i) the delay could not reasonably have been anticipated and avoided, (ii) the delay was caused by a Force Majeure Event, and (iii) Borrower shall have given Lender notice of such Force Majeure Event and its anticipated impact on the Construction Progress Schedule within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of the Force Majeure Event. Borrower will cause the Development Work at all times to materially conform to the Laws and Regulations and will accomplish completion of the Development Work in accordance with the Construction Progress Schedule. Borrower will cooperate at all times with Lender in bringing about the timely completion of each element of the Development Work, and Borrower will resolve all disputes arising during the work of construction in a manner that will allow work to proceed expeditiously.

Section 6.13 Personal Property Incorporation

All personal property for which Lender advances Loan proceeds for the Project is to be stored on the Land and in Lender’ s judgment must be reasonably secure from damage and theft and fully insured at all times.

Section 6.14 Contractors and Contracts

From time to time, upon demand by Lender, Borrower will furnish to Lender, correct lists of all contractors and subcontractors employed in connection with the Development Work. Each such list must show the name, address and telephone number of each such contractor or subcontractor, a general statement of the nature of the work to be done, the labor and materials to

be supplied, the names of material providers, if known, and the approximate dollar value of the labor, work and materials with respect to each. Upon an Event of Default, Lender has the right, and at any time the Inspector has the right (in both cases without either the obligation or the duty), to contact directly each contractor, subcontractor and materialman to verify the facts disclosed by the list or for any other purpose.

Section 6.15 Evidence of Ownership of Materials

If requested by Lender, Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender any bills of sale, statements, receipts, contracts or agreements under which Borrower claims title to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated into the Development Work.

Section 6.16 Lender Inspections, Appraisal and Information

During normal business hours, Borrower will arrange for Lender, the Inspector or any other authorized representative of Lender, at the expense of Borrower, to visit, inspect or appraise the Project. The scope of any such inspection may include (but is not limited to) the materials to be used on or in the Project, contracts, records, plans, specifications and shop drawings relating thereto (whether kept at Borrower’s offices or at the Project construction site or elsewhere), and the books, records, accounts and other financial and accounting records of Borrower, wherever kept. Lender, the Inspector or other authorized representative may make copies and take extracts thereof and therefrom as often as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower will cooperate with Lender to enable Lender, the Inspector or other authorized representatives of Lender to conduct such visits, inspections and appraisals. Borrower agrees to keep at its offices or at the Project, and to make available to Lender during normal business hours, the Plans and Specifications on an as-built basis or, if unavailable, the final set of Plans and Specifications from which the Development Work was constructed.

Section 6.17 Correction of Defects

If Lender in its reasonable judgment determines that any Development Work or materials fail to conform to the Map, any Laws and Regulations or sound building practices or fail to conform in any material respect to the Plans and Specifications, or that they otherwise depart in any material respect from any of the requirements of this Loan Agreement, Lender may require the work to be stopped and Lender may withhold disbursements until the matter is corrected. If this occurs, Borrower will promptly correct the work to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, and pending completion of such corrective work will not allow any other work that is dependent upon or directly related to the work requiring correction to proceed. No such action by Lender will affect Borrower’s obligation to complete each element of the Development Work within the times required by this Loan Agreement. The advance of any Loan proceeds will not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require compliance with this covenant.

Section 6.18 Protection Against Lien Claims

(a) Borrower will pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, promptly and fully all claims for labor done and materials and services furnished in connection with the Development Work, and take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Project or any part thereof. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower

will obtain a lien waiver with respect to each payment by or to Borrower and each of the various subcontractors and materialmen (and the major subcontractors and submaterialmen under them). Lender, at any time, at its option, may require that any disbursement made hereunder be made by joint check made payable to Borrower and the subcontractor or sub-subcontractor for whose account the payment is to be made, as joint payees.

(b) Nothing herein contained requires Borrower to pay any claims for labor, materials, or services that Borrower in good faith disputes and that Borrower, at its own expense, currently and diligently contests, provided that, if the aggregate amount of claims filed with respect to the Project exceeds $25,000, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s actual receipt of notice of filing of that claim of lien that exceeds the specified amount, Borrower must take one of the following actions with respect to all subsequent claims:

(1) record or cause to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Project is located a surety bond sufficient to release the claim of lien, or

(2) make or cause to be made a deposit with Lender of cash or a letter of credit from an issuer and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in the amount of 150% of the claim of lien; or

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender any other assurance that may be acceptable to Lender;

provided, however, that if any claim of lien for labor, materials or services is filed, regardless of the amount thereof, Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a specific endorsement to the Title Policy that insures Lender against any loss by reason of the claim of lien.

Section 6.19 Approval of Easements

All easements, declarations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and dedications affecting the Project must be submitted to Lender for its approval, accompanied by a drawing or survey showing the precise location thereof. Borrower must obtain Lender’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, prior to the execution or granting of any such easement, declaration, covenant, condition, restriction or dedication by Borrower, provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.19 (a) is to be deemed to limit Lender’s rights or Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.7 above, or (b) permits Lender to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any such easement, declaration, covenant, condition, restriction or dedication to the extent it is expressly required under the Disposition and Development Agreement or is expressly required by the County or the Agency pursuant to a condition of approval of the Project. If Lender withholds or conditions its approval of any easement, declaration, covenant, condition, restriction or dedication, Lender shall provide Borrower with a statement of the specific reasons for such withholding or condition.

Section 6.20 Signs

Upon the request of Lender, Borrower will erect and place on or in the vicinity of the Project a sign or signs indicating that Lender has provided construction financing for the Project. The sign(s) will remain the property of Lender and will be required to be removed only after the Development Work has been completed.

ARTICLE 7 SALES AND RELEASES

Section 7.1 Sales Agreements

(a) The Lots and other tracts of real property comprising the Land will be (x) sold under Sales Agreements, Borrower’s interest in which will be assigned to Lender, or (y) transferred to members of Borrower or their respective Affiliates in accordance with the Operating Agreement. In the event of a default by a buyer under a Sales Agreement, Borrower (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, as assignee of Borrower) may, to the extent permitted under the Sales Agreement, (i) retain the balance of funds in any escrow account established pursuant to the particular Sales Agreement, or (ii) draw upon any letter of credit issued by the buyer in connection with the purchase of any Lot(s) or tract(s) and in each case apply it to the payment of the Loan in any manner that Lender determines in its sole discretion. If a Sales Agreement allows Borrower immediate access and use of a deposit or escrow funds paid pursuant to the particular Sales Agreement, Borrower will use those funds only for the Development Work.

(b) If Lender will be asked to release its lien on a Lot or other tract of real property comprising the Land, (i) any and all Sales Agreements must require full payment in cash to Borrower at closing in an amount at least equal to the Scheduled Release Prices for such Lot or other tract of real property, and (ii) unless the cash purchase price payable to Borrower at closing is at least equal to the Scheduled Release Price for a Lot or tract of real property (other than pursuant to a conveyance under the Operating Agreement), no Lot or tract may be leased, sold or conveyed under any lease, conditional sales contract or other arrangement where Borrower retains a deferred portion of the purchase price or any residual or contingent interest in the Lot or tract, including any purchase money security interest, without the express prior written consent of Lender in each instance. Borrower will, upon Lender’s request, provide to Lender a fully executed copy of all Sales Agreements.

Section 7.2 Sales and Closings

Borrower may enter into Sales Agreements for the sale of the Lots or other tracts of real property comprising the Land in the ordinary course of business without Lender’s prior written consent if:

(1) a Sales Agreement is executed with a buyer that conforms to the requirements of this Loan Agreement; and

(2) Borrower, acting in good faith following exercise of reasonable due diligence, has determined that the buyer is financially capable of performing all of its obligations under the Sales Agreement.

Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion may consider any sale to be unsatisfactory if the sale fails to meet any of the requirements of this Loan Agreement. If this happens, or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may make written demand on Borrower to submit future Sales Agreements for Lender’s approval prior to execution, together in each instance with accompanying financial statements for the buyer and

other information that Borrower may have pertaining to the prospective buyer. Borrower will comply immediately with any such demand by Lender.

Section 7.3 Releases from Lien of Security Instrument

(a) Borrower may from time to time request that Lender release one or more Lots or other tracts of real property comprising the Property from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents encumbering those Lots or tracts. Lender agrees that it will execute a partial release that releases Lender’s lien on the Lots or tracts pursuant to the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, provided that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(1) Lender has received a written notice requesting the partial release no fewer than 5 Business Days prior to the date on which the partial release is to be effective, which notice specifies (i) the Phase of the Project, (ii) the specific Lots or tracts to be released, (iii) if the release is being requested in connection with a sale of the Lots or tracts, the Person to whom the Lots or tracts are being sold, which Person may be a member or an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, and (iv) Lender’s Release Price(s) therefor;

(2) Lender has received evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) the closing of the sale and/or release of the Lots or tracts is conducted through an escrow with a title company specified by Borrower and satisfactory to Lender, and (ii) the title company is instructed, pursuant to written instructions that have been acknowledged and agreed to by the title company and that cannot be changed or supplemented without Lender’s written concurrence, not to record Lender’s partial release until the title company receives in respect of the release an amount equal to Lender’s Release Price for the Lots or tracts and is irrevocably committed to disburse the amount to Lender;

(3) Lender has received any executed originals (or copies, at the sole discretion of Lender) of instruments, agreements and other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, that Lender determines are necessary or appropriate to evidence and/or effectuate the partial release and to modify the Loan Documents as a result thereof;

(4) Lender has received evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has satisfied all conditions precedent in the Loan Documents relating to the release of the Lots or tracts;

(5) no Event of Default then exists; and

(6) sufficient collateral remains, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, to secure the outstanding balance (and any reasonably anticipated increases thereto) of the Loan.

In connection with each release of a Lot or tract, provided all conditions to the release have been met, Lender agrees to provide to the title insurance company an estoppel letter, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, specifying Lender’s Release Price.

(b) Lender also agrees that, without requiring payment of any release price, it will release from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents those portions of the Project necessary for utility easements, dedicated public roads, common elements (including any parts of the Project to be transferred to a homeowners’ association or the like), parks, greenbelts, recreation areas, schools, medical facilities, sheriff’s substation, library, fire station, and other similar purposes, the Town Center and Rental Affordable Housing, provided that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(1) Borrower complies with the requirements of subparagraphs (1), (3), (4) and (5) of subparagraph (a) above (except that the requirement of subparagraph (a)(1) requiring the written notice to specify Lender’s Release Price(s) is not applicable);

(2) Lender is furnished with a survey, or another document reasonably satisfactory to Lender, depicting and describing the real property to be released;

(3) the requested release is consistent in all material respects with the Map, approved tentative map, site plan or other depiction of the Project provided to Lender as part of the Project Underwriting Documents;

(4) with respect to the release of the Lots or tracts on which the Rental Affordable Housing is or is to be located, there is no restriction under the Disposition and Development Agreement on the ability of Borrower to obtain building permits for Homes intended to be constructed on the Land based on the status of development or construction of the Rental Affordable Housing, and Lyon Homes shall have executed and delivered to the Agency the completion guaranty required under the Disposition and Development Agreement to lift any such restriction; and

(5) with respect to the release of the Lots or tracts on which the Town Center is or is to be located, there is no restriction under the Disposition and Development Agreement on the ability of Borrower to obtain building permits for Homes to be constructed on the Land based on the status of development or construction of the Town Center, and Borrower, any of Borrower’s members, or any purchaser of such Town Center Lots or tracts shall have caused to be posted the performance bond required under the Disposition and Development Agreement to lift any such restriction.

ARTICLE 8 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 8.1 Events of Default

The occurrence and continuance of any of the following events constitutes an “Event of Default” hereunder:

(1) Borrower fails to pay any installment of principal on the Loan when due, whether at stated maturity, as a result of a mandatory prepayment requirement, upon acceleration or otherwise, or pay when due any interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(2) Any representation or warranty made by Borrower or Guarantor herein or in any other Loan Document is at any time incorrect in any material respect.

(3) Borrower or Guarantor fails to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the failure remains unremedied for 30 days after notice thereof from Lender to Borrower or Guarantor; provided that if Borrower or Guarantor commences and is diligently pursuing to completion action to cure the failure, the 30 day period may be extended for the period of time necessary to cure the failure, but in no event longer than 120 days from the date of Lender’s notice; provided further however, that if (i) Lender reasonably determines that the failure to immediately declare an Event of Default could result in irreparable harm to the rights of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the rights of Lender with respect to the collateral pledged to secure the Loan, or (ii) Lender reasonably determines that the failure to perform or observe the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document cannot be remedied with the passage of 120 days, then Lender may declare an immediate Event of Default in its notice given pursuant to this Section 8.1(3).

(4) Borrower or any Guarantor asserts the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan Document or any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any material respect.

(5) Any event of default (however described) by Borrower or any Guarantor under any other Loan Document occurs and is not cured within the applicable grace period.

(6) Any Loan Document that purports or is otherwise intended to create a lien on or in the Land or other collateral relating thereto as described therein (including, without limitation, the Security Instrument) for any reason, ceases to create a valid and perfected first priority lien on or in the Land or other collateral relating thereto as described therein, or Borrower so states in writing.

(7) The dissolution or winding up of Borrower, Lyon Homes, any co-managing member of Borrower or any sole member or managing member of any such co-managing member; provided, however, that it shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if such co-managing member or sole member or managing member is Woodman LLC or

Woodman Inc. or a replacement thereof and is replaced within thirty (30) days of such dissolution or winding up by a co-managing member, sole member or managing member, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(8) Any Transfer occurs in violation of Section 5.7.

(9) Borrower or Lyon Homes fails to comply with any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.5 (or in the Guaranty, in the case of Guarantor).

(10) A Material Adverse Change occurs with respect to Borrower or Lyon Homes.

(11) Any final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of $200,000, singularly or in the aggregate, is rendered against Borrower or Lyon Homes, and either (i) enforcement proceedings have been commenced by any creditor upon the judgment, or (ii) there is a period of forty-five (45) days during which a stay of enforcement of the judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect.

default.

Section 8.2 Remedies

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the following provisions apply:

(1) If the event is an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(13), Lender’s commitment to fund the Loan will terminate and the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and any other amounts payable under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents will immediately and automatically become due and payable.

(2) Upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(13), Lender may, at its option, do any one or more of the following:

(A) Immediately terminate any further advance of Loan funds hereunder, and from time to time apply all or any portion of the undisbursed Loan funds to payment of accrued interest under the Note and/or upon any other obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Lender may also withhold any one or more disbursements during the continuance of a Potential Default, unless Borrower cures or corrects the event or condition to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(B) Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable and record a notice of default under the Security Instrument.

(C) Make any disbursements after the happening of any one or more Events of Default, without thereby waiving its right to demand payment of the Note and all other sums owing to Lender with respect to the Loan Documents or any other rights or remedies described herein, and without liability to make any other or further disbursements, notwithstanding Lender’s previous exercise of any such rights and remedies.

(D) Enter upon the Project and with or without legal process take possession of the Project, remove Borrower and all employees, contractors and agents of Borrower therefrom, and complete or attempt to complete construction of the Development Work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (provided that Lender may cause any changes, additions or corrections to be made therein that Lender may from time to time and in its judgment deem appropriate), and market, sell or lease the Project, at the risk and expense of Borrower. Lender will have the right at any time to discontinue any work commenced by it in respect to the Development Work or to change any course of action undertaken by it and not be bound by any limitations or requirements of time whether set forth herein or otherwise. Lender will have the right and power (but will not be obligated) to assume any construction contract made by or on behalf of Borrower in any way relating to the Development Work and to take over and use all or any part of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment contracted for, by or on behalf of Borrower whether or not previously incorporated into the Development Work,

in the discretion of Lender. Lender may also modify or terminate any contractual arrangements, subject to its right at any time to discontinue any work without liability. If Lender chooses to complete the Development Work, Lender will not assume any liability to Borrower or any other person for completing them, or for the manner or quality of their construction, and Borrower expressly waives any such liability. In connection with any work of construction undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (D), Lender may do any of the following:

i. engage builders, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, suppliers, inspectors, consultants and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, materials, equipment and other services in connection with the work of construction, for the protection or clearance of title to the Project, or for the protection of Lender’s interests with respect thereto;

ii. pay, settle or compromise all bills or claims that may become liens against the Project or that have been or may be incurred in any manner in connection with completing construction of the Development Work or for the protection or clearance of title to the Project, or for the protection of Lender’s interests with respect thereto;

iii. prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the Project;

iv. execute, acknowledge and deliver all other instruments and documents in the name of Borrower that are necessary or desirable, to exercise Borrower’s rights under contracts concerning the Project; and

v. take any other action, including the employment of security personnel to protect the Development Work, or refrain from taking action under this Loan Agreement that Lender may in its discretion determine from time to time.

Borrower will be liable to Lender for sums paid or incurred for completing construction of the Development Work whether the same is paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this section or otherwise. All payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever must be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand with interest at the rate set forth in the Note. All of the foregoing will be deemed and will constitute disbursements under this Loan Agreement and be secured by the Loan Documents. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by this subsection (D), Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enter into any contracts, perform the acts and incur the liabilities that are referred to in this subsection (D) in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest.

(E) If (i) substantial deviations from the Plans and Specifications appear that have not been approved as set forth herein, (ii) defective or

unworkerlike labor or materials are being used in the construction of the Development Work, (iii) Lender receives knowledge of encroachments to which there has been no consent, or Lender determines that the Development Work are not being constructed in accordance with any governmental requirements or any covenants, conditions, restrictions, agreements or other matters, whether or not of record, affecting the condition of title to the Project, Lender will have the right to immediately order stoppage of the construction and demand that such conditions be corrected.

(F) After issuance of an order in writing as set forth above in subsection (E), no further work may be done on that portion of the Development Work where there is a substantial deviation from the Plans and Specifications that has not been approved as set forth herein, where there is defective or unworkmanlike labor or materials, or that does not comply with governmental requirements or matters affecting title to the Project, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, unless and until any such condition has been fully corrected.

(G) Foreclose on any security for the Loan without waiving its rights to proceed against any other security or other entities or individuals directly or indirectly responsible for repayment of the Loan, or waive any and all security for the Loan as Lender may in its discretion so determine, and pursue any other remedy or remedies that Lender may determine to be in its best interest.

(H) Exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Guaranty or any other guaranty of Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Loan.

(I) Accelerate all of Borrower’s and/or Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character, at Lender’s option, exercisable in its sole discretion, and apply any undisbursed Loan funds to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, in any order and proportions that Lender in its sole discretion may choose.

Whether or not Lender elects to employ any or all of the remedies available to it in connection with an Event of Default, Lender will not be liable for (i) Borrower’s construction of or failure to construct, complete or protect the Development Work, (ii) the payment of any expense incurred by Lender for the construction or completion of the Development Work undertaken by Borrower, or (iii) the performance or non-performance of any other obligation of Borrower.

All remedies of Lender provided for herein and in any other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder will not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or under any other Loan Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights

hereunder or under any other Loan Document. If Lender exercises any of the rights or remedies provided in this Article 8, that exercise will not make Lender, or cause Lender to be deemed to be, a partner or joint venturer of Borrower. No disbursement of Loan funds by Lender will cure any default of Borrower, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing in each instance.

Section 8.3 Authorization to Apply Assets to Payment of Loan

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice or demand, to apply any property, balances, credits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, or standing to the credit of Borrower, to the payment of the Loan.

No provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be changed, waived, discharged or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or modification is sought.

Section 9.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative

No disbursement of proceeds of the Loan will constitute a waiver of any conditions to Lender’s obligation to make further disbursements nor, if Borrower is unable to satisfy any such conditions, will any such waiver have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to constitute an Event of Default (however described) under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document will impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default (however described) or acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or of any other right, power or privilege. Except as specifically provided herein, all rights and remedies existing under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 9.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes

Borrower agrees to pay the costs, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents to be delivered hereunder. The costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower include, without limitation, the following:

(1) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for Lender, with respect to the matters described above and with respect to advising Lender as to its rights and responsibilities under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(2) any and all stamp and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder;

(4) the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any Inspectors and any other authorized representatives retained by Lender to inspect the Project or any matters related thereto; and

(5) the costs associated with the issuance of the date-down endorsements required by the terms of Section 3.2(12).

Borrower further agrees to pay all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses, court costs and all other litigation expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable expert witness fees, document copying expenses, exhibit preparation, courier expenses, postage expenses and communication expenses) in connection with Lender’s exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceeding, or any refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout” of the Loan Documents and any other documents delivered by Borrower and Guarantor related thereto.

Payment from Borrower of amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.6 will be due 10 days after it has received from Lender written notice of the nature of the item for which payment is required and all such sums will bear interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note, from the date such funds were spent until repaid. Such amounts will be deemed secured by the Security Instrument and other applicable Loan Documents.

Section 9.7 Disclaimer by Lender; No Joint Venture

Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees as follows:

(1) The relationship between Borrower and Lender is, and will at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes

any responsibility for or duty to Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of the quality, adequacy or suitability of any matter or thing submitted to Lender for its approval.

(2) Lender owes no duty of care to protect Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate or any other Person against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or construction.

(3) Borrower is not and will not be an agent of Lender for any purpose. Lender is not a joint venture partner with Borrower in any manner whatsoever. Approvals granted by Lender for any matters covered under this Loan Agreement are to be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any such approval.

Section 9.8 Indemnification

In addition to the separate and independent Environmental Indemnity, Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and consultants and allocated costs of internal counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or related to any of the following:

(1) the Loan, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(2) the Project;

(3) the use of funds advanced under the Loan Documents; or

(4) the failure of Borrower, Guarantor or any other party to the Loan Documents (other than Lender) to comply fully with any and all laws applicable to it;

whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, obligations, penalties, disbursements and expenses are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material default by Lender under any provisions of the Loan Documents or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 9.8 will survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full of the Loan.

Section 9.9 Consultants

Borrower will pay any and all valid claims of any consultants, advisors, brokers or agents whom either it, Guarantor, or any of their Affiliates has retained or with whom it has initiated contact with respect to the Loan who claims a right to any fees in connection with the Loan.

Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from such claims, whether or not they are valid, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.8 above.

Section 9.10 Governing Law

This Loan Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Section 9.11 Titles and Headings

The titles and headings of sections of this Loan Agreement are intended for convenience only and are not in any way to affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Loan Agreement.

Section 9.12 Counterparts

This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which will constitute one and the same agreement with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same signature page.

Section 9.13 Lender’s Rights with Respect to Loan

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender, without notice to Borrower or Guarantor and without their consent, may at any time sell, assign, grant or transfer to any Person all or a portion of its interest in or rights with respect to the Loan and in all or part of the obligations of Borrower and any other obligated party under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.14 Confidentiality

Borrower and Lender will mutually agree on the contents of any press release, public announcement or other public disclosure regarding this Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder to be made following the mutual execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement; provided that Lender may disclose the terms hereof and give copies of the Loan Documents, the Project Underwriting Documents and any other materials related to the Loan, the Project, Borrower or Guarantor, to assignees and participants and to prospective assignees and participants. If either party fails to respond to the other party in writing with either an approval or a disapproval within 5 Business Days of a party’s receipt of the other party’s request for consent or approval as expressly contemplated pursuant to this Section 9.14, then such consent or approval will be deemed to have been given, provided that the 5 Business Day period will not commence to run unless and until the other party has received all information, materials, documents and other matters required to be submitted to it hereunder with respect to the consent or approval and all other information, materials, documents and other matters reasonably essential to its decision process.

Section 9.15 Time is of the Essence

Time is of the essence of this Loan Agreement.

Section 9.16 No Third Parties Benefited

Lender will not have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.17 Severability

The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Loan Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder will not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

Section 9.18 Jurisdiction

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the State of California or of the United States sitting in Monterey County, California. By execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, each of Borrower and Lender consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the jurisdiction of those courts (other than a foreclosure proceeding, in which event any such action, suit or proceeding must be brought in the appropriate forum in the state in which the Property is located). Each of Borrower and Lender irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in that jurisdiction in respect to this Loan Agreement or any document related hereto. Borrower and Lender each waive any personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by California law. Nothing in this Section 9.18 will affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.19 Waiver of Jury Trial

Borrower and Lender waive, to the extent permitted by law, their respective rights to a trial by jury or any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any action, proceeding or other litigation of any type brought by any party against any other party, whether with respect to contract claims, tort claims, or otherwise. Borrower and Lender agree that any such claim or cause of action will be tried by a court trial without a jury.
