2.5 Advance of Fees, Expenses and Charges. Loan Expenses, Loan Administration Fees and other fees, expenses or charges may be advanced under a Loan if requested by Borrower and approved by Lender, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE III

LOANS

3.1 Loans. Subject to and upon the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make loans (hereinafter called, individually, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to Borrower prior to the Termination Date for Approved Purposes in connection with one or more Projects in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Maximum Commitment. Within the limit of the Maximum Commitment, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date to the earlier of (a) the Termination Date or (b) the termination of Lender’s Commitment hereunder. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ALL LOANS SHALL BE MADE ONLY AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF LENDER AND LENDER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY PARTICULAR LOAN AND/OR ACCOMMODATE ANY RENEWAL AND EXTENSION REQUEST RELATING TO ANY LOAN.

3.2 Notes. Each Loan shall be evidenced by, and be repayable in accordance with, a separate Note executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender at the Loan Closing for such Loan. Each Note shall be issued and dated on a date on or after the Effective Date but before the Termination Date and shall mature on or before nine (9) months from the date of such Note; provided, however, that if an Extension is granted by Lender with respect to such Note, the Loan Maturity Date for such Note shall be the ninetieth (90th) day following the original Loan Maturity Date for such Note. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender will fund Advances under the Notes that do not mature until after the Termination Date.

3.3 Amount of Loan; Appraisals; Approved Subdivisions.

(a) If Lender approves a Loan Request, Lender shall advance to Borrower, or for Borrower’s benefit, the lesser of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the value of the completed Projects described in the Loan Request, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, which value may be equal to or less than, but shall not exceed, the appraised value of such completed Projects, in which event Borrower shall pay the Projected Cost Shortfall, if any, towards the cost of the Projects at or prior to the first Loan Advance after the Loan Closing, (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the sales price of the Projects as defined in the Approved Sales Contract relating to such Projects, in which event Borrower shall pay the Projected Cost Shortfall, if any, towards the cost of the Projects at or prior to the first Loan Advance at the Loan Closing, or (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the Project set forth in the Approved Budget; provided, however, that the Revolving Principal Balance shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment at any time. For example only and not necessarily the numbers to be used in real transactions consummated hereunder: if a Home appraises for $100,000 and Lender determines the value of the completed Project to be $100,000, the sales price of the Project as defined in the Approved Sales Contract is $100,000, and the cost of the Project as set forth in the Approved Budget is $90,000, then (i) the maximum amount that Lender will fund towards the Project is $85,000, and (ii) the Projected Cost Shortfall required to be funded by Borrower is $5,000.

(b) In each Approved Subdivision funded by Lender, Borrower shall obtain an Appraisal for the Homes to be built in the Approved Subdivision based on the Plans and

Specifications of the Homes to be build in the Approved Subdivision that itemizes the various components of upgrades to the Homes. An Appraisal of a particular Home to be constructed in an Approved Subdivision shall be used as the Appraisal for other Homes in the same Approved Subdivision that are to be built based on the same Plans and Specifications used to construct the Home that was appraised; provided, however, such Appraisal shall be no more than twelve (12) months old at the time a Loan is made to Borrower, otherwise a new Appraisal shall be made for the type of Home in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a new Appraisal for a Project may be required sooner than twelve (12) months in Lender’s sole discretion. Such new Appraisal shall be at Borrower’s cost pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

3.4 Approval of Loans. Borrower shall provide to Lender a Loan Request for each proposed Loan. Lender will not consider Loan Requests for principal amounts less than $75,000. In connection with each such Loan Request, Borrower shall provide Lender with the Required Documents, all of which must be satisfactory in form and content to Lender. The Loan Request will not be considered by Lender unless and until the Loan Request and all Required Documents are submitted to Lender. Loan Requests will be considered no more often than once per month. Each Loan Request and all Required Documents must be received by Lender in order for the proposed Loan to be considered for approval. Lender shall have ten (10) days (or the next Business Day following the tenth day, if such date is not a Business Day) following the date that the fully completed Loan Request and all Required Documents are delivered to Lender to determine whether Lender will approve or disapprove the proposed Loan. Each proposed Loan may be approved or disapproved by Lender in its sole discretion, for any reason or for no reason. Lender will notify Borrower as to whether the proposed Loan is approved or disapproved.

3.5 Conditions for Each Loan. No Loan shall be approved by Lender unless each of the following conditions (“Loan Conditions”) is satisfied:

(a) the representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and the Borrower-Related Parties and in all certificates and other documents delivered pursuant thereto are true and correct at and as of the time the Loan is to be made;

(b) on the date of, and upon receipt of, the Loan, no Event of Default, and no event which, with the lapse of time or notice or both, could become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing;

(d) Lender has received a Loan Request for the Loan, as well as all Required Documents in such form as Lender may reasonably request, and Lender has approved the Loan Request in Lender’s sole discretion;

(e) The Revolving Principal Balance prior to such Loan plus the amount of the requested Loan will not exceed the Maximum Commitment in effect on the date of the requested Loan;

(f) Lender has received evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Liens created by the Loan Documents are, collectively, first and prior as to all of the Collateral;

(g) Lender has received evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower’s equity contribution to the Project as required by the Lender has been made or will be made simultaneous with the subject Loan;

(h) All proceeds of previous Loans shall have been spent or used only for Approved Purposes;

(i) The proceeds of the Loan shall not be used to build Spec Homes or Model Homes that would violate the limitation on number of Spec Homes and Model Homes in Section 3.6; and

(j) Borrower has paid Lender all Loan Expenses and other fees, charges and expenses required to be paid by Borrower under the Loan Documents.

3.6 Limitations on Number of Spec Homes and Model Homes. Notwithstanding whether Loan proceeds are used to acquire or construct a Spec Home, the number of Spec Homes that are not Model Homes (whether or not the construction thereof is financed by Lender) owned by Borrower in a particular section, division, phase or other portion of an Approved Subdivision (as determined by Lender) shall not exceed five (5). In addition, notwithstanding whether Loan proceeds are used to acquire or construct a Model Home, the number of Model Homes (whether or not the construction thereof is financed by Lender) owned by Borrower in a particular section, division, phase or other portion of an Approved Subdivision (as determined by Lender) shall not exceed two (2). Borrower further agrees that if a Spec Home is financed by Lender hereunder and purchased pursuant to an Approved Sales Contract, then upon delivery to Lender of the Approved Sales Contract and such other supporting documents and evidence satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, such Home shall no longer be designated as a Spec Home and shall instead be designated as a standard Home. Borrower further agrees that if any Approved Sales Contract with respect to a Project is terminated for any reason or otherwise ceases to be a valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto for any reason, then Borrower shall immediately inform Lender of such fact in writing and such Project shall be deemed to be a Spec Home unless and until such Project becomes subject to a subsequent Approved Sales Contract and Borrower has delivered to Lender the Approved Sales Contract and such other supporting documents and evidence reasonably required by Lender.

3.7 Advances. After a Loan is approved, Borrower shall apply for an Advance under such Loan by providing Lender with an Advance Request under such Loan. Advance Requests will be considered no more often than once per month. Each Advance Request and all required attachments must be received by Lender by the fifteenth (15^th) day of the month in order for the proposed Advance to be considered for funding in that month. Provided that Borrower has fully complied with all Advance Conditions required by Section 7.1 of this Agreement to Lender’s satisfaction, Lender will fund the applicable Advance Request by the last day of the month in which the Advance was requested or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical; provided, however, that if the Advance Request and all required attachments were not timely delivered to Lender on or before the 15^th of the month, then Lender may, in its sole discretion, fund the Advance in the following month. At Lender’s option, all or any Advances shall be made by and through the Title Company.

3.8 No Obligation. Lender has no obligation to make a Loan Advance to Borrower under a Loan until such time as such Loan is approved by Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Loan Document, once a Loan has been approved, Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance under any Loan, unless and until Borrower has fully complied with all Advance Conditions required by Section 7.1 of this Agreement to Lender’s satisfaction.

3.9 Discretionary Advances. During (a) the occurrence of an Event of Default or (b) upon request by Borrower, Lender is authorized to make Advances under any Loan that Lender, in its sole discretion, desires to fund at Borrower’s request or deems necessary or desirable to pay any Loan Expense or other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (an advance made for the foregoing purposes are referred to herein as a “Discretionary Advance”). Each Discretionary Advance made under a Note shall, upon disbursement, automatically constitute principal outstanding under such Note and shall cause a corresponding increase in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Note (even if such Discretionary Advance causes the aggregate amount outstanding under the Note to exceed the face amount of such Note or causes the Revolving Principal Balance to exceed the Maximum Commitment). Borrower agrees that each Discretionary Advance shall automatically reduce the amount of availability under the Maximum Commitment. The making by Lender of any Discretionary Advance shall not cure or waive any Event of Default (except only for an Event of Default that has been cured to Lender’s satisfaction as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so cured, or for an Event of Default that has been waived by Lender as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so waived).

3.10 Maximum Commitment. Should the unpaid Revolving Principal Balance at any time exceed the Maximum Commitment, Lender’s obligation to fund any Advances shall immediately cease. After Lender notifies Borrower in writing of the deficiency, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days from and after the giving of such notice, prepay the Debt in an amount sufficient to reduce the Revolving Principal Balance to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Commitment.

3.11 Termination Date. No Loan Requests will be considered by Lender after the Termination Date.

Interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall, at Lender’s option, automatically and without the necessity of notice to Borrower, bear interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate, unless and until all delinquent amounts are paid and all Events of Default have been cured to Lender’s satisfaction as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so cured, and/or waived by Lender as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so waived.

(a) on a monthly basis, Borrower promises to pay to Lender, Accrued Interest Payments calculated on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan, which are due and payable beginning on the last day of the month of the Loan Closing for such Loan, and continuing monthly thereafter on the last day of each month for so long as such Loan is outstanding;

(b) in addition to the payments required by the provisions of clause (a) above, concurrently with each Disposition of one or more Project(s), Borrower promises to pay Lender, the Partial Release Amount for the Project(s) released from Lender’s Lien thereon, which is due and payable prior to Lender providing to Borrower (or releasing from escrow with the Title Company) its partial release of Lien on such Project(s);

(c) in addition to the payments required by the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above, for each Loan funded by Lender hereunder, Borrower promises to pay to Lender, the full outstanding principal amount of such Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon on or prior

4.3 Order of Application. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, all payments and prepayments of the Debt shall be applied to the Debt in the following order, any instructions from Borrower to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) to Loan Expenses for which Lender shall not have been reimbursed under the Loan Documents, (b) to all indemnified amounts due under the Loan Documents; (c) to fees and charges (other than Loan Expenses) then owed Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, including, without limitation, Loan Administration Fees; (d) to accrued interest on the portion of the Indebtedness being paid or prepaid; (e) to the portion of the principal being paid or prepaid; (f) to the remaining accrued interest on the Debt; and (g) to the remaining principal of the Debt.

Under no circumstance may Borrower offset any amount owing by Borrower to Lender with an amount owed by Lender to Borrower under any arrangement. All payments shall be made in cash or cash equivalents in immediately available funds. Should any such payment become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

Borrower hereby agrees to accept Lender’s calculation of principal and interest payable under the Notes absent mathematical error.

4.5 Prepayment. Subject to the order of payment provisions of Section 4.3, Borrower may prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without incurring any prepayment fee or penalty; provided that interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of any principal prepayment through the date of such prepayment.

Lender will only make Advances for the acquisition of Lots and other costs and expenses specified in the Approved Budget, and then only (i) in the case of soft costs payable to Affiliates of Borrower, for those soft costs that are specifically approved by Lender, (ii) in the case of soft costs payable to Persons other than Affiliates of Borrower, for work performed, services rendered or materials furnished, and (iii) in the case of hard costs, for work performed, services rendered or materials furnished. Advances for payment of construction costs will only be made after actual commencement of construction of the Home and may not exceed the aggregate of (a) the costs of labor, materials and services incorporated into the Project in a manner acceptable to Lender not to exceed the Approved Budget, plus (b) if approved by Lender, the purchase price of uninstalled materials to be used in the construction of the Home that are stored on the Lot or in the Home not to exceed the Approved Budget, or elsewhere with the written consent of and in a manner acceptable to Lender, and less (c) any Retainage, if applicable, and less (d) all prior Advances for payment of costs of labor, materials and services for the construction of the Home. Lender shall have no obligation: (i) to make any Advance for a line item in excess of the sums for such line item in the Approved Budget, (ii) to consider an Advance Request unless and until Borrower has complied with this Agreement, and (iii) to make any Advance which would cause the aggregate of all Advances to be greater than the amount of the Maximum Commitment. If the aggregate amount of Advances for any Home is insufficient to pay for all labor and materials necessary to complete the construction of the Home, Borrower shall pay all excess costs immediately with funds from sources other than the Loan.

7.5 Direct Payment to Contractors and Others. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any amount of any Advance directly to any contractor, Title Company, any design professional or other Person instead of advancing that money to Borrower, and will notify Borrower in advance and in writing when it has exercised that election on each occasion it does. Any Advance by Lender for such purpose shall be part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to hold, use, disburse, and apply each Loan for payment of costs of construction of the improvements after an Event of Default, expenses incident to such Loan and the Lot or Home, and the payment or performance of any obligation of Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, interest on the Loans, any reasonable Loan fees owing to Lender, reasonable legal fees of Lender’s attorneys which are payable by Borrower, and such other reasonable sums as may be owing from time to time by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Loan. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Advances and all such Advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph, nothing in this Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of, nor may be enforced by, nor should be relied upon by, any Person other than Borrower.

7.6 Retainage. If Borrower withholds Retainage with regard to any contractor engaged in work on a Home, Lender shall not be obligated to advance the amount reserved as Retainage by Borrower unless Lender shall have received evidence that either (i) Borrower is releasing the Retainage to the contractor or (ii) all work with respect to such Project is complete.

7.7 Off-site Materials. Lender shall not be obligated to approve, and Lender shall not be obligated to fund, any Advance covering in whole or in part any equipment or materials not stored at the Project without the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall be in Lender’s sole discretion.

9.2 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of this Agreement solely for the benefit of Borrower. In no event shall the proceeds of this Agreement be used, directly or indirectly, for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any “margin stock” (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Borrower agrees that the purpose of the Loans is, and that the proceeds of the Loans will only be used, for Approved Purposes.

9.3 Indebtedness to be Paid. Borrower will pay punctually and discharge when due, or renew or extend, any Indebtedness incurred by it and will discharge, perform and observe the covenants, provisions and conditions to be performed, discharged and observed on the part of Borrower in connection therewith, or in connection with any agreement or other instrument relating thereto or in connection with any Lien existing at any time upon any of the property or assets of Borrower; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Borrower to pay, discharge, renew or extend any such Indebtedness or to discharge, perform or observe any such covenants, provisions and conditions so long as such Person in good faith shall be actively contesting any claims which may be asserted against it with respect to any such Indebtedness or any such covenants, provisions and conditions and shall set aside on its books reserves with respect thereto deemed adequate by Lender.

9.4 Limitation of Indebtedness. Excluding the Debt, Partner Loans and Indebtedness for borrowed money described on Schedule 9.4, Borrower shall not incur any borrowed money obligation, guaranty or provide security for any Indebtedness of another Person or enter into or issue any agreement providing for Borrower to incur or guaranty Indebtedness for borrowed money without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may incur ordinary trade debt to vendors, and suppliers and providers of services without violation of this Section 9.4. Borrower shall give Lender prior written notice of any proposed Indebtedness for borrowed money and Lender shall inform Borrower in writing of whether it approves or disapproves such proposed Indebtedness for borrowed money within ten (10) days after receipt of Borrower’s written notice. If Lender consents to Borrower incurring or guaranteeing any Indebtedness for borrowed money, as a condition of Lender granting such consent, Borrower and the other lender (“New Lender”) shall, unless otherwise agreed by Lender in writing, enter into a written agreement with Lender, which shall be satisfactory to Lender in all respects, providing that (a) the priority of the payment of the Debt always shall be superior to the priority of the payment of such other Indebtedness for borrowed money, (b) no Liens securing such Indebtedness for borrowed money shall be placed on the assets of Borrower or the Property or on the economic or legal interests in Borrower without Lender’s express prior written consent, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason, (c) the priority of

Lender’s Liens and security interest against the Property and the assets of Borrower always shall be superior to the priority of any Liens or security interests, if any, in favor of the New Lender, (d) Lender shall be given written notice by the New Lender of any material default or event of default occurring under the loan documents evidencing Indebtedness owed to the New Lender (“New Loan Documents”), (e) upon any Event of Default under this Agreement or upon any default or event of default under the New Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default thereunder prior to acceleration and/or, at Lender’s alternative, to purchase the New Loan Documents and the Indebtedness evidenced thereby upon terms satisfactory to Lender, and (f) the terms of the New Loan Documents providing for the principal amount of the Indebtedness evidenced by such New Loan Documents, the interest rate and charges, and the payment terms (including payment dates, payment amounts, and the maturity date for payment of principal and interest, the amount of proceeds to be paid for release or partial release of any Lien) and all other provisions of such New Loan Documents shall be acceptable to Lender and shall not be materially modified without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower agrees that it shall not enter into any agreement, or permit Borrower-Related Party to enter into any agreement, that is inconsistent with or would cause Borrower to violate the provisions of this Section 9.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges and agrees that its execution of an intercreditor agreement with a New Lender shall be deemed to be Lender’s written consent to any variance contained in such intercreditor agreement from the requirements of this Section 9.4.

Until Lender’s obligations hereunder have terminated and the Debt is paid in full, Borrower shall not cause or permit, or enter into any agreement to cause or permit, the dissolution or termination of the existence of Borrower.

All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall extend to any period after the initiation of foreclosure proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any power or right shall operate as a waiver of such power or right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right further preclude exercise of that power or right.

11.3 Attorneys Fees. If Lender retains an attorney-at-law in connection with any Event of Default or at maturity or to collect, enforce, or defend the Notes or any part hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, in any lawsuit or in any probate, reorganization, bankruptcy or other proceeding, or otherwise, Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including but not limited to, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted.

11.4. Complete Construction. In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 11.2(i) through (iv), Lender may enter into possession of the Lot and Home and, at Lender’s option, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, do anything in connection with the construction of the Homes that Borrower could do in its own behalf, including without limitation, any one or more of the following: (a) perform all work necessary to complete construction of the Homes then under construction or discontinue any such work, whether commenced by Borrower or Lender, (b) assume Borrower’s rights, and powers under any contract Borrower has entered into in connection with the Lot or the construction of the Homes, (c) execute all certificates and applications that are required under any construction contract, (d) make any additions, changes, and corrections in the Plans and Specifications which in Lender’s judgment are necessary or desirable to complete construction of the Homes in substantially the same manner as contemplated by the Plans and Specifications, (e) employ architects, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, inspectors, and security guards, and other persons to perform services or furnish materials or equipment in connection with any action Lender takes under this Section, (f) continue any existing construction contracts or subcontracts, (g) pay, settle, or comprise any existing bills or claims which are or may become liens against the Lot or Home or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearing of title, (h) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Lot or Home or the construction of the Homes; and (i) use any funds which remain unadvanced on the Loans for the purposes described in this Section. All amounts expended by Lender pursuant to this Section will be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower as Advances and be secured by the Deed of Trust. For the purposes described in this Section and the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full

power of substitution to exercise all of the rights and remedies granted to Lender by this Section. Borrower agrees that this power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Usury Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document:

(a) It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Debt, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Debt, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Notes have been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Notes (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Notes or any other part of the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Debt.

(b) To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Highest Lawful Rate payable on the Notes or any other part of the Debt, Lender

will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Highest Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by such applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

12.2 Indemnity; Release. Borrower and the Borrower-Related Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify Lender, upon demand, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable, documented fees of attorneys, accountants, experts and advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever, now existing (in this section, collectively called “Liabilities and Costs”) to the extent actually imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in its capacity as lender hereunder growing out of, resulting from or in any other way associated with (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions and events (including the enforcement or defense thereof) at any time associated therewith or contemplated therein, (b) any claim that the Loans evidenced hereby are contractually usurious, and (c) any use, handling, storage, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials on or about the Property or any part thereof or any real properties owned, managed or operated by Borrower or any Borrower-Related Party. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, nothing in this Section 12.2 shall be deemed to provide for or require any Borrower-Related Party not otherwise the Borrower or Guarantor hereunder to be liable for the repayment of the Debt or performance of any of the obligations of Borrower or a Guarantor under the Loan Documents unless expressly set forth herein or therein.

THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY LENDER;

provided only that Lender shall not be entitled under this Section to receive indemnification for that portion, if any, of any Liabilities and Costs which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. If any Person (including Borrower and the Borrower-Related Parties) ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by Lender, the indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this section, the term “Lender” shall refer not only to the Person designated as such in this Agreement and it successors and assigns but also to each partner, director, officer, attorney, employee, representative and affiliate of such Person.

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION SET FORTH HEREIN, INCLUDING THE PROMISES, AGREEMENTS, COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EACH BORROWER AND EACH BORROWER-RELATED PARTY HEREBY RELEASES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES, AND COVENANTS NOT TO XXX OR FILE ANY CHARGES OR CLAIMS AGAINST, LENDER FOR ANY AND ALL EXISTING OR FUTURE CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND CAUSES OF ACTION, IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, AT LAW OR IN

EQUITY, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, PENDING OR THREATENED (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”), FOR ALL EXISTING AND FUTURE DAMAGES AND REMEDIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE LOANS MADE PURSUANT HERETO AND THERETO (NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS WAIVER BE DEEMED TO BE INCLUDE A WAIVER OF ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER ARISING DIRECTLY OUT OF LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF TORT OR CONTRACT).

12.3 Mutual Understanding. Borrower and the Borrower-Related Parties jointly and severally represent and warrant to Lender that they have read and fully understand the terms and provisions hereof, have had an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with legal counsel and have executed this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on their own judgment and advice of counsel. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by Borrower, the Borrower-Related Parties and Lender and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

12.4 Set-Off. Borrower hereby gives and confirms to Lender a right of set-off of all moneys, securities and other property of Borrower (whether special, general or limited) and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter delivered to remain with or in transit in any manner to Lender, its correspondents or its agents from or for Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise or coming into possession of Lender in any way, and also, of all other liabilities and obligations now or hereafter owed by Borrower to Lender, contracted with or acquired by Lender, whether joint, several, absolute, contingent, secured, unsecured, matured or unmatured, hereby authorizing Lender at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without prior notice, to apply such balances, credits of claims or any part thereof, to such liabilities in such amounts as it may select, whether contingent, unmatured or otherwise, and whether any collateral security therefor is deemed adequate or not. The rights described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by Borrower.

12.5 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies that Lender is afforded by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative with respect to Borrower and the Borrower-Related Parties or any of them and otherwise and may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently, as Lender deems advisable. In addition, all such rights and remedies are non-exclusive and shall in no way limit or prejudice Lender’s ability to pursue any other legal or equitable rights or remedies that may be available to Lender.

12.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The benefits of this Agreement will not inure to any third party. This Agreement will not be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialmen, subcontractors, contractors, laborers, or others for goods and materials supplied or labor performed in connection with any construction of any of the Homes. Lender is not liable for the manner in which any Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrower or any of Borrower’s contractors or subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents or any conduct or course of conduct by Borrower or Lender, before or after the date of this Agreement, this Agreement will not be construed as creating any rights, claims, or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other person or entity other than Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any Person other than Borrower (including, without

limitation, any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials) will not be deemed recognition by Lender of any third-party beneficiary status claimed by any such person or entity.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Lender shall not have, and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility for the management, conduct, or operation of the business and affairs of Borrower or any Borrower-Related Party. Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits Lender to disburse funds, whether from the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to Borrower, any Borrower-Related Party, a Lot or Home, or any other collateral for repayment of the Loans, shall be deemed to be solely to permit Lender to audit and review the management, operation, and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower and any Borrower-Related Party, and to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Lender for the Loans, and may not be relied upon by any other person. Further, Lender shall not have, has not assumed and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or any Borrower-Related Party and no term or condition of the Loan Documents, should be construed otherwise. Further, Lender shall have no obligation under any Approved Sales Contract or other agreement for the sale of any Home or Lot. Borrower expressly acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents should be construed to deem the relationship between Borrower, the Borrower-Related Parties, and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor relationship. Borrower shall at all times represent that the relationship between Borrower, Borrower-Related Parties, and Lender is solely that of borrower, obligated party, and lender. BORROWER AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM ANY COST, EXPENSE, OR LIABILITY INCURRED BY LENDER ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM THAT LENDER HAS ANY OBLIGATION OR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANAGEMENT, OPERATION, OR CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS OF BORROWER OR ANY BORROWER-RELATED PARTY OR AS A RESULT OF ANY CLAIM THAT LENDER HAS ANY OBLIGATION OR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OF BORROWER OR ANY BORROWER-RELATED PARTY.
