The Credit Facility. INTERSTATE GENERAL COMPANY L.P.

In addition, the Beneficiary has established a letter of credit facility (the "Letter of Credit Facility"), which Letter of Credit Facility is more fully described in the Loan Agreement, to be used in connection with certain public works associated with the Project (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The maximum face amount of all letters of credit under the Letter of Credit Facility shall not exceed Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). The Loan, the Working Capital Loan, and the Letter of Credit Facility are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Credit Facility".

"(e) The Grantor shall have paid, or cause to be paid to the Beneficiary for each lot sought to be released from this Deed of Trust one hundred percent (100%) percent of the net proceeds from the settlement of such lot. The term "net proceeds" shall mean the sales price shown on the settlement statement less customary closing costs as shown on the settlement statement." The Grantor and Beneficiary may revisit such release price in the future, provided however, the release price shall ultimately be determined by Lender in its sole discretion."
3. All provisions set forth in the Deed of Trust, as modified herein, and in any financing statements related thereto, and in any other supporting loan documents, shall continue. This Modification shall not extinguish the Borrower's indebtedness to the Beneficiary and is not intended to be a substitution or novation of the original indebtedness of the Borrower or of any documents securing the same, which documents shall remain in full force and effect, as amended and modified hereby.
4. The provisions of this Modification shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns, and any and all persons or entities claiming by or through them or any of them.
5. Whenever used herein, the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular and any use of any gender shall include all genders.
6. This Modification may be executed in one or more counterparts, which when taken together, shall constitute one instrument.
