Each Advance made under the Letter of Credit Facility shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days after the date of such Advance. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding but undrawn on the Business Day immediately preceding its stated maturity date (or if an amount has then been drawn on a Letter of Credit which has not been reimbursed or repaid), Lender may demand delivery of cash collateral in an amount equal to the then outstanding Letter of Credit Liability, and such cash collateral may be retained by Lender until such time as the Letter of Credit Liability is reduced to $0. Lender may apply such cash collateral to the payment of any amounts thereafter drawn on the Letters of Credit that have not been reimbursed or repaid to Lender by Borrower. The failure to deliver such cash collateral within ten (10) days of demand shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Loan Documents. The repayment of any draws on the Letters of Credit shall be secured by the Loan Documents, and, so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding, Lender shall not be required to issue a full release of the Loan Documents. There shall be no separate Letter of Credit Fee charged for making the Letter of Credit Loan available, and any such Letter of Credit Fee is included in the Loan Fee.

Borrower’s failure to immediately repay the amount of such Advance upon notice of the Advance being given to Borrower by Lender, shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note and under this Agreement.

6.8 Advance Not A Waiver. No Advance of the proceeds of any Loan shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances under said Loan, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance under any Loan have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default.
6.9 Advance Not An Approval. The making of any Advance or part thereof under any Loan shall not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Lender of the work theretofore done for the Home. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance or part thereof under any Loan after the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but shall have the right and option so to do; provided, however, that if Lender elects to make any such Advance, no such Advance shall be deemed to be either a waiver of the right to demand payment of the Loan, or any part thereof, or an obligation to make any other Advance under said Loan.

7.4.4 To the extent mandatory or voluntary payments are made to reduce the amount of indebtedness represented by the Note, and no partial release is requested hereunder at the time of such payments or within a reasonable time thereafter, the amount of such payments shall not constitute a credit to Borrower against the Release Price specified herein for future releases should requests therefor be made.
7.4.5 No portion of any Property shall be released from the Deed of Trust which will prevent a reasonable means of ingress and egress to the portions of said Property not yet released that is satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion

13.3 No Agency. Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Lender as the agent of Borrower in making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or subcontracts entered into by Borrower for construction of any Home financed by a Loan made hereunder or otherwise. The purpose of all requirements of Lender hereunder is solely to allow Lender to check and require documentation (including, but not limited to, lien waivers) sufficient to protect Lender and the Loan contemplated hereby. Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender, Borrower hereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole responsibility for constructing the Home and paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely, on Borrower’s own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor and each materialman for each such Home, Lender having no responsibility for any such persons or entities or for the quality of their materials or workmanship.

To the extent of any Advances thereafter made under any Construction Loan made hereunder, Lender may apply any sums held as a Special Deposit to reduce the principal balance then outstanding under said Construction Loan. Unless required by Governmental Requirements, Lender shall not be required to pay interest on the Special Deposit but any balance remaining on the Special Deposit after repayment of the Loans in full and the termination of all Additional Obligations shall be returned to Borrower.

Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Advances under any Loan may be applied by Borrower, any Contractor and any of Borrower’s other contractors or subcontractors.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials, pursuant to any requests for Advances, whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrower, shall not be deemed a recognition by Lender of a third-party beneficiary status of any such person or entity.
42

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrowers to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrowers with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that they might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrowers with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise.
15.4 Subordinate Debt Requirements. In connection with any Subordinate Debt approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, including but not limited to Subordinated Debt against Beacon Pointe, LLC, Borrower certifies, represents, warrants and covenants to Lender that:
15.4.1 Lender shall receive, review and approve all Subordinate Debt loan documents prior to Borrower entering into said documents or incurring any Subordinate Debt.
15.4.2 During the term of the Line of Credit, Borrower shall not modify or enter into any agreement to modify any one or more of the Subordinate Debt loan documents without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
15.4.3 Whenever Borrower shall receive any notice or demand from the holder of Subordinate Debt with respect to the Subordinate Debt, Borrower shall, at the same time, deliver to Lender a copy of such notice or demand.
15.4.4 As a condition to Lender’s approval of any Subordinate Debt, Borrower and Subordinate Lender shall execute and deliver to Lender a subordination agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, (a) subordinating all rights, title, interest and charges relating to or arising in favor of subordinate lender under such Subordinate Debt to the rights, title, interest, lien or charge in favor or Lender under the Loan Documents, and (b) subordinating all payment and other obligations of Borrower under such Subordinate Debt to the payment and other obligations of Borrower under the Line of Credit.
15.5 Business Days. If the date for any payment or prepayment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of the Note and this Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payments of interest.
15.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

44
15.13 Controlling Document. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
15.14 Construction of Agreement. All pronouns, whether in masculine, feminine or neuter form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such pronoun whether same is masculine, feminine or neuter in gender, as the context may suggest or require. All terms used herein, whether or not defined in Section 1 hereof, and whether used in singular or plural form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such term, whether such is singular or plural in nature, as the context may suggest or require.
15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
15.16 Document Imaging. Lender shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image all or any selection of the Loan Documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Borrower’s Loans, and may destroy or archive the paper originals. The parties hereto waive any right to insist Lender produce paper originals, agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, and further agree that Lender is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or proceedings.
15.17 Continuing Lien. In addition to the Indebtedness and the Obligations under each and every Loan, the indebtedness and performance of obligations secured by the liens and security interests granted in the Loan Documents include all indebtedness and all obligations of whatever kind or character, whether now owing, hereafter arising or hereafter to be performed in connection with the construction of the Home, whether fixed or contingent, and including, without limitation: (i) those described in Sections 10.9 and 10.16 hereof, (ii) all indebtedness and obligations arising under any agreements between Borrower or Lender and the Governmental Authority have jurisdiction over any of the Property to assure the Governmental Authority that the Home will be constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and to the satisfaction of any Governmental Authority, (iii) all indebtedness and obligations arising under any set aside letter or letters issued by Lender with respect to the amount of the Loan available for certain construction costs of the Home, and/or (iv) any letters of credit issued on Borrower’s behalf by Lender and/or its affiliates (collectively “Additional Obligations”). If, at the time the balance of the Loan is fully paid, any of the Additional Obligations remain to be paid or are subject to performance by Borrower, Lender or Lender’s affiliates, Lender shall not, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in any of the Loan Instruments, be obligated to release that portion of any Property remaining subject to the Deed of Trust given in connection with the Loan made for said Property (“Remaining Property”) as of the Pay-Off Date and the Remaining Property shall continue to secure the payment and performance of the Additional Obligations then remaining subject to the Deed of Trust as of the Pay-Off Date.
15.18 Attorneys’ Fees. In an Event of Default; or if proceedings are had in bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or other legal or judicial proceedings for the collection of the Loan or the foreclosure of any instrument securing the Line of Credit; or in the event Lender is made a party to any litigation or any litigation is threatened arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with the Line of Credit or as a result of the existence of any instrument securing the Line of Credit, Borrower and any surety, endorser, guarantor, and accommodation party hereby agree to pay to Lender all reasonable
45
out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by Lender in connection with any such collection, suit, or proceeding, in addition to the principal and interest then due, which expenses and costs shall include, by example and not limitation, the following: attorneys’ fees and costs; receiver’s fees and costs; sheriffs or public trustee’s fees and costs; appraisal fees; property inspection fees; environmental audits; loan servicing fees; expert witness fees; deposition costs; filing fees; the cost of mailing or serving process, notices, and other documents; copy costs; and title insurance premiums or abstracting charges.
15.19 Waiver of Defenses and Release of Claims. Borrower hereby (i) represents that neither Borrower nor any Affiliate or principal of Borrower has any defenses to or setoffs against any Indebtedness or other Obligations owing by Borrower, or by Borrower’s Affiliates or principals, to Lender or Lender’s Affiliates, nor any claims against Lender or Lender’s affiliates for any matter whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Indebtedness or Obligations, and (ii) releases Lender and Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from all claims, causes of action, and costs, in law or equity, known or unknown, whether or not matured or contingent, existing as of the date hereof that Borrower has or may have by reason of any matter of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Indebtedness or Obligations, including the subject matter of this Agreement. The foregoing release does not apply, however, to claims for future performance of express contractual obligations that mature after the date hereof that are owing to the undersigned by Lender or Lender’s Affiliates. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has been induced to enter into or continue the Indebtedness or Obligations by, among other things, the waivers and releases in this paragraph.
15.20 Notice of Indemnification. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS WHICH MAY, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, INCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION BY BORROWER OR OTHERS AGAINST LENDER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL ACTS OF LENDER).
15.21 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE AMENDED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES HERETO.
15.22 Dispute Resolution. This section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.
This dispute resolution provision shall supersede and replace any prior “Jury Waiver,” “Judicial Reference,” “Class Action Waiver,” “Arbitration,” “Dispute Resolution,” or similar alternative dispute agreement or provision between or among the parties.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. As permitted by applicable law, each party waives their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any Dispute (as “Dispute” is hereinafter defined), and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration (“Arbitration Order”). If permitted by applicable law, each party also waives the right to litigate in court or an arbitration proceeding any Dispute as a class action, either as a member of a class or as a representative, or to act as a private attorney general.
46
ARBITRATION. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.
Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving either of our employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, we each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where lender or bank is headquartered.
After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.
Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its
47
application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.
Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator’s rules, this arbitration provision shall control.
RELIANCE. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section.
