The Borrowers acknowledge that the Lender’s agreement herein to provide the Temporary Increase Amount shall not bind the Lender to grant any other or further increase in the Line of Credit Limit.

(b) Change in Defined Terms. Solely during the Temporary Funding Period, the following definitions in the Loan Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

“Credit Note: means (i) that certain promissory note dated as of November 14, 2011 executed and delivered by the Borrowers payable to the order of the Lender in the principal face amount of $50,000,000, as amended, modified and/or restated from time to time (the “Original Credit Note”) and (ii) that certain Temporary Increase Daily Adjusting LIBOR Note dated as of October 19, 2012 executed and delivered by the Borrowers payable to the order of the Lender, in the principal face amount of $100,000,000, as amended, modified and/or restated from time to time (the “Temporary Increase Promissory Note”).”

2. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND EXPENSES.

Promise to Pay. For value received, and intending to be legally bound, Borrower promises to pay to the order of the Bank, at the times set forth in this Note and the Loan Agreement, the Maximum Principal Amount or the Outstanding Principal Amount, if less, plus interest as set forth below and all fees and costs (including without limitation the Bank’s attorneys’ fees and disbursements, whether for internal or outside counsel) the Bank incurs in order to collect any amount due under this Note and the other Loan Documents, to negotiate or document a workout or restructuring, or to preserve its rights or realize upon any guaranty or other security for the payment of this Note (“Expenses”). The total principal sum, or the amount thereof outstanding, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full at the end of the Temporary Funding Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and is subject to acceleration in accordance with, the Loan Agreement pursuant to which this Note has been issued. The total principal sum due under this Note together with the total principal sum due under the Original Credit Note is intended to be a single consolidated indebtedness and shall be treated for all purposes as a “Credit Note” as defined in the Loan Agreement, and to the extent the principal amount of consolidated indebtedness is in excess of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), shall be due and payable at the end of the Temporary Funding Period, together with interest on such principal then so due. In any event, the total principal sum due under this Note, together with interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Facility Termination Date.

Interest. Each Loan shall earn interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days of each year (365 or 366), as follows:

LIBOR Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue each day on any LIBOR Rate Loan, from and including the Draw Date to, but not including, the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is paid in full (or converts to a Base Rate Loan), at the LIBOR Rate in effect for that day. The applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined each day using LIBOR in effect for that day, which, if such day is not a London Business Day, shall have been fixed on the nearest preceding London Business Day.

ii.

Base Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue each day on any Base Rate Loan, from and including the first day a Loan becomes a Base Rate Loan to, but not including, the day such Base Rate Loan is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect each day. Any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date of such change.

Maximum Legal Rate. It is the intent of the Bank and Borrower that in no event shall interest be payable at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Legal Rate”). Solely to the extent necessary to prevent interest under this Note from exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, any amount that would be treated as excessive under a final judicial interpretation of applicable law shall be deemed to have been a mistake and automatically canceled, and, if received by the Bank, shall be refunded to Borrower.

Payment of Loans and Interest. All Loans hereunder shall be due and payable as set forth in this Note and the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically become immediately due and payable upon any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or if Borrower or any guarantor or endorser of this Note commences or has commenced against it any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Borrower hereby waives protest, presentment and notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Absent demand by the Bank for payment of interest monthly, interest shall be due and payable at the time any Loan is repaid to the Bank.

Payments. Payments shall be made in immediately available United States funds at any banking office of the Bank.

Preauthorized Transfers from Deposit Account. If a deposit account number is provided in the following blank, Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to debit Centerline Mortgage Capital Inc.’s deposit account #9854533859 with the Bank and/or Centerline Mortgage Partners Inc.’s deposit account #9854533842 with the Bank automatically for any amount which becomes due under this Note.

Late Charge. If Borrower fails to pay, within five (5) days of its due date, any amount due and owing pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the greatest of (a) $50.00, (b) five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount, or (c) the Bank’s then current late charge as announced by the Bank from time to time.

Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note, the interest rate on the Outstanding Principal Amount shall immediately and automatically increase to five (5) percentage points per year above the otherwise applicable rate per year, and any judgment entered hereon or otherwise in connection with any suit to collect amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at such default rate (the “Default Rate”).

Interest Accrual; Application of Payments. Interest will continue to accrue on the Outstanding Principal Amount until the earlier of the particular Loan is repaid or the Outstanding Principal Amount is paid in full. All installment payments (excluding voluntary prepayments of principal) will be applied as of the date each payment is received and processed. Payments may be applied in any order in the sole discretion of the Bank, but, prior to demand for payment in full, may be applied chronologically (i.e., oldest invoice first) to unpaid amounts due and owing, in the following order: first to accrued interest, then to principal, then to late charges and other fees, and then to all other Expenses.

3. CREDIT AVAILABILITY.

General. This Note is issued by Borrower to the Bank in connection with a certain line of credit or loan limit made available by the Bank to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Credit”). Except as otherwise provided herein, each Loan advanced hereunder shall be in the form of a LIBOR Rate Loan.

Authorized Representatives. The Bank may make any Loan pursuant to the Credit in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written, teletransmitted or other request (the “Request(s)”) that the Bank in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by an Authorized Person. The Bank may act on the Request of any Authorized Person until the Bank shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such Authorized Person. Borrower acknowledges that the transmission between Borrower and Bank of any Request or other instructions with respect to the Credit involves the possibility of errors, omissions, misinterpretations, fraud and mistakes, and agrees to adopt such internal measures and operational procedures as may be necessary to prevent such occurrences. By reason thereof, Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss and responsibility for, and releases and discharges the Bank from any and all responsibility or liability for, and agrees to indemnify, reimburse on demand and hold Bank harmless from, any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liability and expenses by reason of, arising out of, or in any way connected with or related to: (i) Bank’s accepting, relying on and acting upon any Request or other instructions with respect to the Credit; or (ii) any such error, omission, misinterpretation, fraud or mistake, provided such error, omission, misinterpretation, fraud or mistake is not directly caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Bank shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person as a direct or indirect result of making any Loan pursuant to this paragraph.

Limit on Facility. Any Request for a Loan hereunder shall be limited in amount, such that the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Request; (ii) the Outstanding Principal Amount under this Note; and (iii) the aggregate face amounts of (or, if greater, Borrower’s aggregate reimbursement obligations to the Bank (or any of its affiliates) in connection with) any letters of credit issued by the Bank (or any of its affiliates) at the request (or for the benefit) of Borrower, pursuant to this Credit; does not exceed the Maximum Principal Amount under this Note.

Non-Revolving Credit. Notwithstanding Section 2.1.1 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not be permitted to reborrow Loans that are borrowed and repaid under this Note. Loans made pursuant to this Note are not revolving. Notwithstanding that, from time to time, there may be no amounts outstanding respecting this Note, this Note shall continue in full force and effect until all obligations and liabilities evidenced by this Note are paid in full and the Credit evidenced by this Note has been terminated by the Bank. Prior to making any Loan hereunder, all conditions precedent to an advance set forth in the Loan Agreement must be satisfied.

Request for LIBOR Rate Loans. In making any Request for a Loan, Borrower shall specify the aggregate amount of such Loan and the Draw Date; provided, however, if a Request is received by the Bank after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any given day, the earliest possible Draw Date will be the next New York Business Day.

Delivery of Requests. Delivery of a Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made to the Bank at the following address, or such other address designated by the Bank from time to time:

4. CONVERSION UPON DEFAULT. Unless the Bank shall otherwise consent in writing, if (i) Borrower fails to pay when due, in whole or in part, the indebtedness under the Note (whether by demand or otherwise), or (ii) there exists a condition or event which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan. Nothing herein shall be construed to be a waiver by the Bank to have any Loan accrue interest at the Default Rate of interest (which shall be calculated from the higher of the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as described above).

5. RIGHT OF SETOFF. The Bank shall have the right to set off against the amounts owing under this Note any property held in a deposit or other account with the Bank or any of its affiliates or otherwise owing by the Bank or any of its affiliates in any capacity to Borrower or any guarantor or endorser of this Note. Such setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately at the time the Bank or such affiliate elects to do so.

6. BANK RECORDS CONCLUSIVE. The Bank shall set forth on a schedule attached to this Note or maintained on computer, the date and original principal amount of each Loan and the date and amount of each payment to be applied to the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note. The Outstanding Principal Amount set forth on any such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and of all Loans. No failure by the Bank to make, and no error by the Bank in making, any annotation on any such schedule shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal and interest of each Loan or any other obligation of Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Note.

7. PURPOSE. Borrower certifies (a) that no Loan will be used to purchase margin stock except with the Bank’s express prior written consent for each such purchase and (b) that all Loans shall be used for a business purpose, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.

8. AUTHORIZATION. Borrower, if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, represents that it is duly organized and in good standing or duly constituted in the state of its organization and is duly authorized to do business in all jurisdictions material to the conduct of its business; that the execution, delivery and performance of this Note have been duly authorized by all necessary regulatory and corporate or partnership action or by its governing instrument; that this Note has been duly executed by an authorized officer, partner or trustee and constitutes a binding obligation enforceable against Borrower and not in violation of any law, court order or agreement by which Borrower is bound; and that Borrower’s performance is not threatened by any pending or threatened litigation.

9. INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR RATES, INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY.

Increased Costs. If the Bank shall determine that, due to either (a) the introduction of any change in law (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR) or in the interpretation of any requirement of law, or (b) the compliance requirements for any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand therefor by the Bank, pay to the Bank such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increased costs.

Inability to Determine Rates. If the Bank shall determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, the Bank will give notice of such determination to Borrower. Thereafter, the Bank may not make or maintain, as the case may be, LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder until the Bank revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Bank may convert any LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and Borrower may revoke any pending Request that Borrower previously made for a LIBOR Rate Loan. If Borrower does not revoke any such Request, the Bank may make the Loans, as proposed by Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable Request submitted by Borrower, but such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.

Illegality. If the Bank shall determine that the introduction of any law (statutory or common), treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of an arbitrator or of a governmental authority or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful for the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to Borrower, the Bank may suspend the making of LIBOR Rate Loans until the Bank shall have notified Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination shall no longer exist. If the Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank the aggregate principal amount of all LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest and related Expenses. If Borrower is required to pay off any LIBOR Rate Loan as set forth in this subsection, then concurrently with such payment, Borrower may borrow from the Bank, in the amount of such payment, a Base Rate Loan.

10. MISCELLANEOUS. This Note, together with any related loan and security agreements and guaranties, contains the entire agreement between the Bank and Borrower with respect to the Note, and supersedes every course of dealing, other conduct, oral agreement and representation previously made by the Bank. All rights and remedies of the Bank under applicable law and this Note or amendment of any provision of this Note are cumulative and not exclusive. No single, partial or delayed exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude the subsequent exercise by the Bank at any time of any right or remedy of the Bank without notice. No waiver or amendment of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless made specifically in writing by the Bank. No course of dealing or other conduct, no oral agreement or representation made by the Bank, and no usage of trade, shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of the Bank. No waiver of any right or remedy of the Bank shall be effective unless made specifically in writing by the Bank. Borrower agrees that in any legal proceeding, a copy of this Note kept in the Bank’s course of business may be admitted into evidence as an original. This Note is a binding obligation enforceable against Borrower and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns. If a court deems any provision of this Note invalid, the remainder of the Note shall remain in effect. Section headings are for convenience only. Singular number includes plural and neuter gender includes masculine and feminine as appropriate.

11. NOTICES. Any demand or notice hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto shall be in writing and duly given if delivered to Borrower (at its address on the Bank’s records) or to the Bank (at the address on page one and separately to the Bank officer responsible for Borrower’s relationship with the Bank). Such notice or demand shall be deemed sufficiently given for all purposes when delivered (i) by personal delivery and shall be deemed effective when delivered, or (ii) by mail or courier and shall be deemed effective three (3) New York Business Days after deposit in an official depository maintained by the United States Post Office for the collection of mail or one (1) New York Business Day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express). Notice by e-mail is not valid notice under this or any other agreement between Borrower and the Bank.

12. JOINT AND SEVERAL. There is more than one Borrower; therefore, each of them shall be jointly and severally liable for all amounts which become due under this Note and the term “Borrower” shall include each as well as all of them.
