Recitals
The following provisions form the basis for, and are incorporated as a part of, this Agreement:
A. WWDE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge Liquidation
Trust (the “Liquidation Trust”). The Liquidation Trust is a Delaware statutory trust, formed on February 15, 2019, the effective date of the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation dated August 22, 2018 of Woodbridge Group of
Companies, LLC (“Woodbridge Group”) and its affiliated chapter 11 debtors (the “Plan”). The Liquidation Trust was formed to implement the terms of the Plan. The Plan was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware on October 26, 2018 in the jointly administered chapter 11 bankruptcy cases of Woodbridge Group and its affiliated chapter 11 debtors, Case No. 17-12560 (BLS).
B. WB Propco is a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of
WWDE, established and operating as a holding company for certain indirect subsidiaries of WWDE, which holds, for liquidation purposes, real estate interests formerly owned by Woodbridge Group entities. WB Carolwood is one such subsidiary, which
is 100% owned and managed by WB Propco.
C. WB Carolwood holds fee simple title to the real property and
improvements located at 000 X. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (as more fully described in the Deed of Trust, the “Carolwood Property”).
D. In addition to owning and managing, directly and indirectly,
the Borrowers, WWDE also owns and manages approximately twenty other single purpose limited liability company subsidiaries, each of which holds title to separate real property interests formerly owned by Woodbridge Group entities. One or more of
such WWDE subsidiaries may become, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Additional Borrowers (as defined herein).
E. At the Borrowers’ and the Guarantor’s request, Lender has
agreed to extend to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, a revolving line of credit in an aggregate principal amount of up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (as more fully described below, the “Loan”); subject to the Loan
Availability Amount, as defined below, which is at Closing $25,000,000.
F. Payment and performance of the Loan are guaranteed by WWDE as
Guarantor. Guarantor is directly and actively engaged in the liquidation process and administration of its operations in accordance with the Plan, and Guarantor derives material benefit and valuable consideration as a result of the Loan.
G. Lender and Borrowers are entering into this Agreement and
other Loan Documents to evidence and set forth the terms and conditions of the Loan, and the Guarantor has joined in this Agreement for the purposes specified below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged, Borrowers and the Guarantor (as applicable to it), and Lender, each intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
SECURED LOAN FACILITY
2.1 The Loan. Upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall advance to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Advances during the Advance Period; provided that each
Advance and the aggregate of all Advances outstanding shall not exceed the Loan Availability Amount at the time of each Advance or at any time. Notwithstanding the Loan Availability Amount, Lender retains the right, in its discretion, to make
additional or protective advances as provided in the Loan Documents.
(a) Any Advance requested to be funded at Closing shall be funded and disbursed as provided in a closing statement approved by the
Parties in connection with the Closing (“Closing Statement”).
(b) After Closing, if, as and when the Carolwood Property or any
Additional Property is sold the Mandatory Repayment Amount (defined below) arising in connection with the sale will be due and payable to Lender as provided in Section 2.6(c), and the Loan Availability Amount will be adjusted as provided below,
taking into account the Mandatory Repayment Amount credited to the Loan balance and the Allocated Par Loan Value of the remaining Trust Property (including any Additional Property, if applicable).
2
(c) Also, from time to time during the Advance Period, WP Propco
may elect to cause an Additional Borrower (or more than one) to join in and assume the Loan as a new co-Borrower(s), in which case the Additional Property owned by the Additional Borrower will be deemed to be Trust Property upon execution of such
joinder and a Deed of Trust, and the Loan Availability Amount will be adjusted based on the Allocated Par Loan Value of the Additional Property then constituting a Trust Property. Based on the then-adjusted Loan Availability Amount, Borrowers may
request and Lender will make subsequent Advances, as requested from time to time, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.9. If an Additional Property or more than one Additional Properties become Trust Properties during
the Advance Period in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment documentation as Lender may reasonably require (which may be substantially similar to the Additional Borrower Joinder form
attached as Exhibit B and a restated Note as provided therein), the Loan Availability Amount may be increased (if an increase is approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) based on the Allocated Par Loan Values of such
Additional Properties that become Trust Properties so as to provide for Advances not to exceed $30,000,000 in the aggregate. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lender has not made and is not making any commitment to increase the Loan over
$25,000,000 and that Lender is under no obligation, contractual or otherwise, to approve such an increase. Accordingly, the Loan Availability Amount will never exceed $25,000,000 unless and until Lender approves a Borrower request for an increase
of the Loan, which determination can be approved or declined in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Lender may decline such a request for an increase for any reason and such denial shall not impact or affect the validity or enforceability of the
Loan.
(d) All Advances constitute a single indebtedness for which all
Borrowers are liable, jointly and severally, and all Advances are and will be secured and cross-collateralized by all the Collateral.
2.2. Interest Reserve. At Closing,
Borrowers will establish with Lender a $1,750,000 reserve fund as a source of available funds to pay Monthly Interest projected to accrue on the Loan for twenty-four months following the Closing (as may be replenished, the “Interest Reserve Fund”);
provided that if the Loan Availability Amount is increased to $30,000,000 in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the Borrowers will be required to supplement the Interest Reserve Fund for the difference between the Interest Reserve Fund then
held on account and the projected amount to accrue on such increased Loan Availability Amount for the remaining months in such twenty-four month period from and after Closing. Borrowers will establish the Interest Reserve Fund at Closing by
depositing such amount in a control account established with Lender (“Interest Reserve Account”). Except for any supplemental funding to the Interest Reserve Account in connection with the increase of the Loan Availability Amount to $30,000,000,
the Interest Reserve Fund will be reviewed and adjusted semi-annually, taking into account the then-current principal balance of the Loan, the then-adjusted Loan Availability Amount, and the remaining number of months until the Maturity Date
(including as may be extended); provided that at no time will the Interest Reserve Fund hold more than the lesser of the projected Monthly Interest for (a) 24 months and (b) the remaining number of months until the Maturity Date. Lender is
irrevocably authorized to offset funds each month from the Interest Reserve Account to pay the Monthly Payment of interest only then becoming due. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Lender may in its discretion, offset and retain any
or all of the Interest Reserve Fund from the Interest Reserve Account, and apply such amount against principal, interest or costs relating to the Loan as Lender may determine. Lender will provide notice to Borrowers’ Representative of such offset
(or draw) and application within two Business Days thereof.
3
2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of
the Loan may be used to fund all or any portion of the Interest Reserve Fund, to pay Loan Costs and other transaction expenses in connection with the Loan, to make periodic Distributions as permitted and in accordance with this Agreement, and
otherwise for working capital support and other general corporate purposes for the Borrowers, as certified by Borrowers’ Representative in connection with Advance Requests.
2.4 Note; Interest Rate. The Loan shall
be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith made by Borrowers, jointly and severally, to the order of Lender in the face principal amount of $25,000,000.00 (the “Note”). The Loan shall accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to
3.50% per annum. Interest shall be calculated as provided in the Note.
2.5 Advance Period; Maturity Date.
Subject to the Loan Availability Amount borrowing limits, and the terms and conditions hereof governing Advances, Borrowers may request Advances from time to time after Closing until the date which is three Business Days prior to the Maturity Date,
as may be extended, or until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (such period, the “Advance Period”). The full outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus all accrued interest and other monetary Obligations are due and
payable in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) on the Maturity Date, which is June __, 2022 (as may be extended as provided in the following sentence. Notwithstanding the stated Maturity Date of June __, 2022, if Borrowers
elect and inform Lender no later than three months before such scheduled date, so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and (b) the Borrowers are then in compliance with the covenants specified herein in all
material respects, then Borrowers may extend the Maturity Date for one year until June __, 2023. In addition, in connection with such extension, the Lender, at its election, may obtain (or request the Borrowers obtain) Appraisals (to the extent
that the most recent Appraisal on such Trust Property was completed on date more than 12 months prior to June __, 2022) on each Trust Property and pursuant to the results of such Appraisals, if any, the Lender and the Borrowers will work together
in good faith to amend and restate the Allocated Par Loan Value and Release Price on Schedule 2.6, if necessary, and adjust the Available Loan Amount, if necessary, as a result.
2.6 Payments. Borrowers jointly and
severally agree punctually to pay or cause to be paid to Lender all principal and interest due in connection with the Loan, and all monetary Obligations when due. Borrowers shall take the following actions and make or cause to be made the following
payments on the Loan:
(a) Monthly Interest. Interest on the
Loan shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month (each, a “Monthly Payment” or “Monthly Interest”).
4
(b) Set-off; Auto-Debit. Borrowers irrevocably
authorize Lender to, and Lender may in its discretion, offset from and charge the Interest Reserve Account for each Monthly Payment as and when due. Borrowers acknowledge that failure to maintain sufficient funds in the Interest Reserve Account for
any and all Monthly Payments shall not relieve Borrowers of their joint and several payment obligations under this Agreement or the Note. Therefore, notwithstanding Borrowers’ covenant and agreement to replenish the Interest Reserve Fund as
provided in Section 2.2, if the Interest Reserve Fund is insufficient to pay in full the Monthly Payment due in a given month, Borrowers will nevertheless be obligated to pay and satisfy the Monthly Payment requirement on a timely basis using
Borrowers’ own funds.
(c) Sale of Trust Properties; Mandatory Repayment Amount.
If, as and when any Trust Property is sold, Borrower shall make a mandatory payment in respect of the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (the “Mandatory Repayment Amount”): (i) the Release Price attributable to such Trust Property and
(ii) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The Allocated Par Loan Value for any Additional Property becoming a Trust Property in connection with an Additional Borrower’s execution and delivery of an Additional Borrower Joinder, will
be determined by Borrowers and Lender working together in good faith, and will be specified in an amended and restated Schedule 2.6 attached to the Additional Borrower Joinder. Sales proceeds deriving from the closing of a Trust Property
sale(s) shall be received by the selling Borrower, WB Propco, Guarantor or a closing escrow agent serving Lender in such capacity, in trust, and the Mandatory Repayment Amount will be remitted to Lender as and when received for application against
the Loan. Borrower will provide reasonable notice of intended sales to Lender and effectuate escrow closing arrangements as may reasonably be required by Lender.
(d) Balance Excess Cure. If the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan exceeds the Loan Availability Amount borrowing limit at any time, the excess will be deemed a “Balance Excess”. If at any time a Balance Excess occurs, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days after notice, at the
election of the Borrowers, either (i) prepay the Loan in an amount necessary to reduce the Balance Excess to $0; or (ii) cause an Additional Borrower to join in and assume the Loan and submit an Additional Property to a Trust Deed in favor of
Lender, so as to rectify the Balance Excess.
(e) Final Payment at Maturity. The entire outstanding
principal amount of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other monetary Obligations shall be paid in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) by not later than the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date
(as may be extended pursuant to Section 2.5); or (ii) Lender’s declaration that the Obligations are due and payable after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
(f) Place and Time of Payments. To the
extent payments are not made by auto-debit from the Interest Reserve Account as provided above, Borrowers shall make each payment of interest and principal due and payable hereunder and under the Note not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the
date when due, without set off, counterclaim or other deduction, in immediately available funds to Lender at 000 X.X. 0xx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000. Whenever any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
5
(g) Overdue Amounts. Any payments not
paid as and when due shall, at the election of Lender in its discretion, and upon written notice to the Borrowers’ Representative, bear interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate.
(h) Prepayments. Borrowers may prepay
all or any portion of the Loan at any time, without premium or penalty. A prepayment of the entire Loan must include all unpaid interest, Loan Costs and other monetary Obligations then due.
2.7 Application of Payments. Absent an
Event of Default, all payments made in respect of the Loan will be applied by Lender in the following order: (a) to the payment of Loan Costs or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, as quantified by Lender,
including costs and expenses incurred in creating, maintaining, perfecting, protecting or enforcing Liens in and to the Collateral and in collecting any amounts due in connection with the Loan; (b) to the payment of interest then due and payable;
(c) to the reduction of any outstanding principal; and (d) then to any other monetary Obligations remaining due and unpaid. Any surplus payments remaining in Lender’s possession or custody after full and final (other than unasserted contingent
indemnity obligations) payment of the Loan (including remaining Interest Reserve Funds if any) shall be promptly and in any event with 5 Business Days thereof returned to Borrowers’ Representative. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender may apply payments as it determines in its sole discretion.
2.8 Property Sales; Additional Properties;
Carolwood Property Partition. Lender acknowledges that the Borrowers (and Additional Borrowers) are actively marketing the Trust Properties (and Additional Properties, as applicable) for sale.
(a) Borrowers will provide reasonable advance notice of the
scheduled closing date of sale of a Trust Property and Borrowers will provide Lender with a copy of the settlement statement between the seller and buyer. Borrowers will ensure that each settlement statement properly sets forth the Mandatory
Repayment Amount payable to Lender.
(b) In connection with each Trust Property sale, Lender will
provide the selling Borrower or WB Propco with (i) a release and satisfaction of the Trust Deed encumbering the Trust Property being sold, in escrow, subject to escrow terms reasonably acceptable to Lender and (ii) all other lien releases and
documents effectuating and evidencing the release of such Borrower from this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Obligations. Lender will authorize release of escrow to facilitate closing subject to reasonably acceptable arrangements for
the prompt remittance of the Mandatory Repayment Amount attributable to the Trust Property being sold, to Lender. Provided that the net contractual sale price payable to the selling Borrower (net of all closing costs) is at least equal to the
Release Price, then, the selling Borrower may consummate the closing without Lender’s consent. Lender’s consent to a closing will be required if the net contractual sale price payable to the selling Borrower (net of all closing costs) is less than
the Release Price, and Lender’s consent may be conditioned on the Borrowers confirming acceptable arrangements to pay or rectify any resulting Balance Excess following the closing.
6
(c) Upon closing on a sale of any Trust Property as contemplated
herein, the selling Borrower will be released from in personam liability as a co-Borrower upon Lender’s receipt of the Mandatory Repayment Amount attributable to the Trust Property conveyed. Subject to Section 2.8(h), in connection with such sale,
the Loan Availability Amount at such time will be adjusted to reduce the Loan Availability Amount in an amount equal to the Allocated Par Loan Value attributed to such sold Trust Property and the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount will be
the Loan Availability Amount thereafter in effect until such time as any Additional Property is joined as a Trust Property or sold, in each case, as provided hereunder. The Lender together with the Borrowers will work in good faith to amend and
restate Schedule 2.6 to reflect any required changes to the Allocated Par Loan Values for the remaining Trust Properties (if any) and the Lender will provide to the Borrowers written notice of the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount
in connection with the closing of such sale and any such amended Schedule 2.6, within one Business Day after such closing and the corresponding amendment and restatement of Schedule 2.6.
(d) From time to time during the Term, Borrowers may elect for any
one or more of their Affiliates to join this Agreement and assume the Loan as a co-Borrower (each such entity, an “Additional Borrower”), whereupon the Borrowers (including any intended Additional Borrower) will provide Lender with such due
diligence as to the Additional Borrower and Additional Property as Lender may require (which shall be substantially similar to the scope of Lender’s pre-closing due diligence and include an Appraisal), and such other information as Lender may
reasonably require. The Borrowers and Guarantor will reasonably cooperate with Lender’s due diligence, and Borrowers will be responsible for payment upon billing for Lender’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith,
including Loan Costs for documentation and consummation.
(e) The inclusion of an Additional Borrower as a co-Borrower
hereunder is further subject to the Additional Borrower’s execution and delivery of counterparts of an Additional Borrower Joinder, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (an “Additional Borrower Joinder”), as well
as authorizing resolutions and closing certificates, and a Trust Deed for the real property owned by such Additional Borrower (the “Additional Property”), pursuant to which such Additional Borrower will xxxxx x xxxx to secure the Loan and
the other Obligations (together with UCC financing statements and additional documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender). Upon execution and delivery of an Additional Borrower Joinder, the designated Additional Borrower will for all
purposes be deemed a Borrower hereunder, jointly and severally liable with the other Borrowers for the Loan and all Obligations, and the Additional Property owned by such Additional Borrower will become a Trust Property and part of the Collateral
when encumbered by a Trust Deed granted by such Additional Borrower. The documentation and procedures for encumbering an Additional Property with a Trust Deed will include (among other things), issuance of a title insurance policy in favor of
Lender identifying the Additional Borrower as owner of the Trust Property and grantor of the Trust Deed, and Lender as Trust Deed beneficiary, and insuring the first lien status of the Trust Deed, setting forth no exceptions to title or coverage
exclusions that are not reasonably acceptable to Lender. All proceedings and documentation relating to the Additional Borrower and Additional Property will be subject to Lender’s reasonable approval and will be effectuated at Borrowers’ expense.
7
(f) In connection with the joinder of the Additional Borrower and
the Additional Property, concurrently therewith, the Lender together with the Borrowers will work in good faith to amend and restate Schedule 2.6 to reflect the Allocated Par Loan Value and Release Price for the Additional Property and any
required changes to the Allocated Par Loan Values and the Release Prices for the remaining Trust Properties (if any). The Loan Availability Amount at such time will be adjusted, taking into account the amended and restated Schedule 2.6 and
the updated Allocated Par Loan Values for the Trust Properties listed thereon and the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount will be the Loan Availability Amount thereafter in effect until such time as any Additional Property is joined as a
Trust Property or any Trust Property is sold, in each case, as provided hereunder. The Lender will provide to the Borrowers written notice of the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount in connection with the consummation of the Additional
Borrower Joinder and any such amended Schedule 2.6, within one Business Day after such consummation. The Loan Availability will not exceed $25,000,000 in any event, unless Lender approves (in its sole and absolute discretion) an increase in
the maximum Loan Availability Amount to not more than $30,000,000, consistent with the terms and conditions described in Section 2.1 (c) hereof and based on Allocated Par Loan Value(s) associated with one or more Additional Properties becoming
Trust Properties.
(g) In the event the proposed Carolwood Property Partition obtains
final approval (it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Lender, in its capacity as Trust Deed beneficiary, will provide any written consents and other documents required
to be filed with, or delivered to, any Governmental Authority to finalize such partition on a timely basis), the Lender together with the Borrowers will work in good faith to amend and restate Schedule 2.6 to reflect the Allocated Par Loan
Value and Release Price for each parcel of the legally subdivided Carolwood Property and any required changes to the Allocated Par Loan Values and the Release Prices for the remaining Trust Properties (if any). The Loan Availability Amount at such
time will be adjusted, if necessary, to take into account the amended and restated Schedule 2.6 and the updated Allocated Par Loan Values for the Trust Properties listed thereon and the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount will be
the Loan Availability Amount thereafter in effect until such time as any Additional Property is joined as a Trust Property or any Trust Property is sold, in each case, as provided hereunder. The Lender will provide to the Borrowers written notice
of the resulting adjusted Loan Availability Amount in connection with the effectiveness of the Carolwood Property Partition and any such amended Schedule 2.6, within one Business Day after such effectiveness.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event a
sale of one or more Trust Properties would otherwise reduce the Loan Availability Amount to zero, Lender agrees that WB Propco shall have 60 days from such time (or such longer period as agreed to by Lender, the “Joinder Option Period”) to
join an Additional Borrower and Additional Property. During the Joinder Option Period the Loan Availability Amount will be $100,000 until such Additional Borrower and Additional Property are joined, at which time the Loan Availability Amount will
be increased (limited to $25,000,000) based on the new Allocated Par Loan Value(s) associated with the new Trust Properties. In the event an Additional Borrower and Additional Property are not added during the Joinder Option Period, or WB Propco
gives notice to Lender, prior to the expiry of the Joinder Option Period, that it will not join an Additional Borrower and Additional Property, the Joinder Option Period will terminate, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be
terminated upon repayment in full of any remaining outstanding Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations), and the Lender, concurrently therewith, will provide full written releases to WB Propco and the Guarantor of their
obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents applicable to them (including lien releases and any other actions and documents necessary to effectuate and evidence same, as applicable).
8
2.9 Advances.
(a) Borrowers may request an Advance during
the Advance Period based on the then in effect Loan Availability Amount (taking into account any outstanding Advances) so long as any requested Advance, after giving effect to the funding of such Advance, would not, when added to any outstanding
Advances, cause the total outstanding Advances to exceed the Loan Availability Amount then in effect. Borrowers’ request for an Advance shall be in writing and completed substantially in the form of Exhibit “C” (an “Advance Request”),
or otherwise on such form as has been approved by Lender.
(b) Each Advance Request will (i) specify the principal amount of
the Advance requested, and designate the account to which the net proceeds of such Advance are to be disbursed and transferred; (ii) state, if true, that Borrowers’ representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and any closing or
funding related certifications are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the request and, after giving effect to the making of such requested Advance, will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date on which
the requested Advance is to be made; and (iii) state, if true, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the request and, after giving effect to the making of such requested Advance, no Default or Event of
Default will occur as of the date on which the requested Advance is to be made.
(c) Advance Requests shall be delivered to
Lender within the Advance Period at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Advance (each an “Advance Date”); provided that Lender will use reasonable efforts to respond to Advance Requests delivered later than
three (3) Business Days prior to an Advance Date. Any Advance Request delivered to Lender shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers at such time as Lender has designated funds to make the requested Advance, and shall bind the Borrowers to consummate
the Advance and borrow the proceeds. The net proceeds of any Advance shall, on the date of such Advance, be wire transferred to the account designated in the Advance Request. Borrowers shall have paid all invoiced Loan Costs then due and payable
pursuant to this Agreement or the Trust Deed in connection with such requested Advance.
(d) The recordation of a Trust Deed and
filing of financing statements, and issuance of a Title Policy, and recording of any releases, may in Lender’s discretion be effectuated by way of a closing escrow agreement or another escrow arrangement with the Title Company or other fiduciary,
the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
2.10 Offsets or Additions to Advances.
Lender may, in its discretion, offset from the net amount of any Advance and retain or disburse as appropriate (a) to the extent that insufficient funds are available in the Interest Reserve Fund, any unpaid interest then due and payable and any
current invoiced Loan Costs with respect to which Borrowers have received notice, if any, due in respect of the Loan in the month in which such Advance occurs or due in prior months, or (b) other amounts required to be paid at the time of such
Advance pursuant to the Loan Documents, or other sums reflected on the Borrowers’ Advance Request, a closing statement or disbursements schedule, or as otherwise agreed by Borrowers.
9
2.11 Borrowers’ Representative.
(a) The Borrowers jointly and severally hereby confirm and
irrevocably designate and appoint WB Propco as their agent and representative (the “Borrowers’ Representative”) for all purposes relating to the Loan. WB Propco hereby accepts such designation and appointment and agrees to serve as
Borrowers’ Representative in connection with the Loan and actions required under the Loan Documents.
(b) In connection with sales of Trust
Properties, releases of a Trust Deed, Additional Borrower Joinders, Advance Requests, Lender’s due diligence and approvals or otherwise, Lender may, but shall not be required to, communicate with the respective Borrowers through the Borrowers’
Representative, and receive Borrower deliveries and notices directly from the Borrowers’ Representative, and rely on all actions taken by Borrowers’ Representative for and on behalf of each of the Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly, specifically
and irrevocably authorizes Lender to communicate and deal exclusively with Borrowers’ Representative, and not with any particular Borrower, for any and all purposes relating to the Loan, and to rely in all respects and for all purposes upon
representations, warranties, certifications, requests, notices or other communications made by Borrowers’ Representative. Notices or correspondence provided by Lender to Borrowers’ Representative or to the Borrowers directly will be sent to the
Guarantor, at the same time they are transmitted to Borrowers’ Representative or to the Borrowers directly.
(c) All representations, warranties,
certifications, deliveries, requests, notices and actions taken by or through the Borrowers’ Representative, shall be deemed taken by and binding upon the Borrowers and are hereby irrevocably ratified, adopted and reaffirmed by the respective
Borrowers as fully as if they were made, given or taken by the respective Borrowers directly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender so requires, at any time and from time to time, each Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence that all
actions taken by Borrower’s Representative on behalf of a Borrower were and are properly authorized and/or ratified.
2.12 Disbursements; Reasonably Equivalent Value; Joint and
Several Liability. In Lender’s discretion, Advances may be made to a Borrower directly or to Borrowers’ Representative, in which case Borrowers’ Representative shall be solely responsible for further remittances of Advance proceeds to pay
expenses or to fund Distributions or otherwise as the Borrowers intend. Notwithstanding that Advances may be disbursed for administrative convenience to Borrowers’ Representative, and regardless of how remitted after funding, all Advances are
deemed and acknowledged to be made for the benefit of, and received and used by, each Borrower and all of them. Each Borrower acknowledges and confirms that each of them and all of them, jointly and severally, receive equal and sufficient good and
valuable consideration, reasonably equivalent value and material benefit as a result of the Loan and all Advances made under the Loan. In addition, Borrowers acknowledge, agree and confirm that all Advances are and shall be cross-collateralized and
cross-defaulted.
10
2.13 Loan Accountings. Lender is authorized to record in its
manual or data processing records the outstanding balance of the Loan, and the date and amount of payments of interest and principal; provided that the failure to make any such record entry with respect to any payment or source of payment shall not
limit or otherwise affect Borrowers’ Obligations. In calculating the amount of Monthly Payments, Lender shall provide to Borrower, reasonably promptly each month, a written monthly Loan accounting setting forth Lender’s calculation of principal,
interest and Loan Costs. Each and every such accounting shall, absent manifest error, be deemed final, binding and conclusive, unless, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt, Borrowers provide Lender with written notice of any objection which
Borrowers may have to any item in such accounting, describing the basis for such objection with specificity. In that event, only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrowers. Borrowers and Lender will
cooperate diligently, reasonably, and in good faith to resolve any such disputes.
2.14 Loan Costs. Borrowers shall pay
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and charges incurred in the procuring and making of the Loan, including without limitation, the Title Company’s fees and premiums, public records searches and other due diligence expenses, Florida
documentary stamp and intangible taxes, if applicable, recording expenses, and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and costs of Lender’s attorneys. During the Term, Borrower shall also pay (or cause to be paid) the Loan Costs and other
monetary Obligations as provided in the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL SECURITY

approved by Borrowers and the Guarantor (and the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable), and have been executed and delivered, and constitute the duly authorized, valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrowers (and as applicable to it, the

13

Carolwood Property. The respective Trust Properties are free and clear of all liens, charges and claims, other than the Liens in favor of Lender and Permitted Liens affecting such Trust Property and the proposed Carolwood Property Partition. This
Agreement and the Trust Deeds create valid, enforceable and perfected first priority Liens in favor of Lender in the Trust Properties, subject to no other interests, liens or encumbrances other than Permitted Liens and the proposed Carolwood

be parties to financing transactions other than the Loan during the term of the Loan. Guarantor will promptly disclose to Lender any financing transactions entered into during the term of the Loan.
5.8 Conflicting Transactions. The consummation of the Loan
and the performance of Borrowers’ Obligations under and by virtue of the Loan Documents, and Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations under the Guaranty, and the marketing and sale of Trust Properties, will not result in any breach of, or constitute a
default under any lease or other agreement to which a Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which a Borrower, Guarantor or any Collateral may be bound or affected, except where any such beach or default, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
14
5.9 Contracts. Borrowers have not made and will not make any
contract or arrangement of any kind the performance of which by the other party thereto would give rise to a Lien in contravention of the Loan Documents. To Borrowers’ knowledge, no Borrower is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any material obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument where such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.10 Pending Litigation; Other Proceedings. As of the
Closing Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against a Borrower. Borrowers know of no circumstances which could lead to such action, suits or proceedings against or affecting a Borrower or involving the validity or

statements and information relating to Liquidation Trust and its Subsidiaries which have been delivered to Lender have been prepared in accordance with Liquidation GAAP, unless otherwise stated therein, and fairly and reasonably present the
Liquidation Trust’s financial condition in all material respects. Borrowers have no knowledge of any material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not reflected in such financial statements and information. Borrowers and Guarantor have
not entered into any special commitments or contracts which are not reflected in such financial statements or information.
5.14 ERISA. No Borrower or Guarantor is a party to any plan
defined and regulated under ERISA. None of the assets of a Borrower or Guarantor are “plan assets” as defined in 29 C.F.R. § 2509.75 2 or § 2510.3 101.
5.16 No Default. As of the Closing Date, no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement or any Loan Document.

ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS
Borrowers, jointly and severally, and as applicable to it, the Guarantor, covenant and agree with Lender, so long as any principal or
interest is payable hereunder, as follows:

respective Taxes prior to the date on which such Taxes become delinquent or any penalties attach thereto, except and to the extent only that such Taxes are (a) being Properly Contested or (b) (i) do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate at any time
outstanding, and (ii) to the extent resulting in a Lien attaching to any Collateral, such Lien is removed or satisfied within 60 days of being imposed. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall provide proof of payment of Taxes or, in the case of
withholding or other employee taxes, deposit required by applicable law.

Lender written notice of (a) a judgment entered against a Borrower, or (b) the commencement of any action, suit, claim, counterclaim or proceeding against a Borrower or in respect of a Trust Property, or the commencement of a proceeding or
investigation involving a Borrower or a Trust Property which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.
6.3 Notice of Default. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender
written notice of any Default or Event of Default, and of any circumstance that has caused or is reasonably likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
6.4 Reports. Borrowers shall promptly furnish Lender with

continue to own 100% of the membership interests of WB Carolwood and Guarantor shall continue to own 100% of the membership interests of WB Propco; provided that, if required by the Liquidation Trustee for Liquidation Trust purposes, Guarantor may

(b) Lender will complete and approve in its reasonable discretion “know your customer” due diligence consistent with Lender’s customary underwriting practices.
6.6 Change in Fiscal Year. Each Borrower’s fiscal year ends
on June 30. No Borrower shall change its fiscal year without the prior written consent of Lender.
17
6.7 Trust Property. Borrowers will preserve good title to
each Trust Property and will warrant and use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the same. Borrowers will act in a commercially reasonable manner in maintaining the Trust Properties in an appropriate safe and reasonably protected condition
(including any Trust Property that is undergoing construction or renovation), reasonable wear and tear excepted, and in compliance with applicable building and safety codes in all material respects. Borrowers will act in a commercially reasonable
manner in coordinating with the Trust Deed Trustee and Lender in connection with the closing of sales of Trust Properties and remittance to Lender of Mandatory Repayment Amounts. Borrowers agree that the Mandatory Repayment Amount established with
respect to the sale of any Trust Property is due on sale thereof.
6.8 No Further Encumbrances. Borrowers shall not sell,
lease, convey, mortgage or encumber (other than Permitted Liens) a Trust Property without the prior written consent of Lender; provided that, as to sale of any Trust Property, no such consent will be required if the sale price is equal to or
greater than the Release Price established for such Trust Property, and if closing escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to Lender are established to ensure payment of the Mandatory Repayment Amount in connection with such sale.
6.9 Compliance with Laws. Except as otherwise permitted in
this Agreement, Borrowers shall comply on a reasonably timely basis and in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to their respective businesses and to the Trust Properties, and Borrowers
will obtain and keep in good standing all necessary licenses, permits and approvals required for their businesses, except, in any instance, where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and/or materially
adversely affect Lender’s Liens or rights under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower will maintain its continuing existence and good standing as a Delaware limited liability company, qualified to transact business in California.
6.9 Perfection of Security Interests. Lender is
authorized to file Financing Statements from time to time identifying the Collateral, as applicable, including in connection with Additional Borrowers and Additional Properties.
6.10 Payment of Debts. Borrowers shall pay and discharge the
Loan and all Obligations when due, before becoming subject to penalty or further charge, and otherwise before maturity or delinquency. Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, Borrowers shall pay and discharge when due (allowing for any
applicable cure period) their respective secured indebtedness and perform the respective obligations as required under any contracts between a Borrower and any other Person, except for such secured indebtedness (other than the Loan and related
Obligations) which is (a) Properly Contested, (b) with respect to which a Borrower has obtained a valid extension of time within which to pay any amounts due or (c) the non-payment of which is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
6.11 Insurance. During the Term, Borrowers shall obtain,
maintain and keep in full force and effect adequate general liability insurance coverage and other insurance coverages consistent with each Borrower’s reasonable and customary past practice, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.
During the Term, annually or upon renewal or replacement, or otherwise upon Lender’s request from time to time, Borrowers will deliver to Lender copies of its policies of insurance as in effect, together with receipts or other evidence that the
premiums therefor have been paid. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers will insure the Trust Properties and maintain liability insurance as required under the Trust Deeds. Such insurance will include additional insured and loss payee
endorsements in favor of Borrowers and Lender, consistent with the Trust Deed requirements.
18
6.12 Collection and Use of Insurance Proceeds. Borrowers
will provide Lender with written notice of a casualty event, loss or claim in excess of $250,000 affecting a Trust Property. Upon occurrence of a casualty event, loss or claim affecting a Trust Property in excess of $250,000, resulting in damage
that Borrower and the insurance company do not consider to have given rise to a total loss, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower holding such Trust Property will use the insurance proceeds to repair or replace
such damaged property within a reasonable period of time commensurate with the extent of damage and in any case within 365 days of receipt of such proceeds. In cases where a casualty event causes damage or loss to an extent that it is not
reasonably practicable to repair and restore the Trust Property consistent with applicable building codes within 365 days, Borrowers will cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any insurance proceeds payable to Lender in
connection with the repayment of the outstanding amount of the Loan in an amount not to exceed the Release Price for such Trust Property.
6.13 Indebtedness. Borrowers shall not incur, create, assume
or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money, whether or not evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar obligations, without the prior written approval of Lender, except for (a) the Loan and other Obligations under the Loan
Documents, (b) unsecured debt in the Ordinary Course of Business and (c) any such indebtedness as of the date of this Agreement that was previously disclosed in writing to Lender.
6.14 Guaranties. Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly
make, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any guaranty of any kind of any indebtedness or other obligation of any other Person during the term of this Agreement, other than any guaranties (if any) of the indebtedness permitted under Section
6.13.
6.15 Subordinated Obligations. All “insider” loans and other
indebtedness or liabilities, direct or indirect, contingent or non-contingent, of a Borrower to Guarantor, or to a member, partner, director, officer, or other Affiliate or Subsidiary, and all such Indebtedness owing by Guarantor to a Borrower, and
all liens securing such indebtedness or liabilities, and all other Subordinated Obligations, are hereby and shall be subordinated to the Loan and all Obligations in favor of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent an Event of Default,
Borrowers or the Guarantor may make Distributions to any other Borrower, the Guarantor and/or Liquidation Trust.
6.16 Further Assurances and Preservation of Security.
Borrowers will do all commercially reasonable acts and execute all reasonable documents to more effectively carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement as relate to protecting the Trust Properties and Borrowers’ (and Lender’s) interests
therein, and otherwise as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time, and Borrowers will do such other acts necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Trust Property (including any Additional Properties, if applicable).
19
6.17 No Assignment. Other than as provided under this
Agreement with respect to an Additional Borrower, Borrowers shall not assign this Agreement or any interest therein and any such assignment is void and of no effect.
6.18 Maintenance of Books and Records. Borrowers shall
maintain proper books and records and accountings containing entries of all material financial transactions and matters involving the Trust Properties and the other Collateral that are accurate and complete in all material respects.
6.19 Visits and Inspections. Borrowers will permit
representatives of Lender, during normal business hours and (except when an Event of Default exists) upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower’s Representative, at Borrowers’ expense as provided under clause (f)(i) of the definition of Loan Costs,
to: inspect, audit and make extracts from their books and records, including all records relating to any Collateral; provided that if no Event of Default exists the Lender shall be limited to only one such inspection, audit and examination during
each non-overlapping twelve-month period during Term. Lender’s inspections shall be scheduled and conducted in a manner and at times so as to reasonably minimize inconvenience and disruption to Borrowers.
6.20 Business Continuity. Borrowers will maintain and
preserve all rights, franchises and other authority adequate for the conduct of their business and maintain and preserve their existence and qualification to do business in California if required under Applicable Laws, except (other than with
respect to the preservation of the existence of the Borrowers) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
6.21 Fundamental Changes. Other than as provided under
Section 6.5, each Borrower will not (a) merge, reorganize as a different type of legal entity, or consolidate with any Person (other than another Borrower), or liquidate, wind up its affairs or dissolve itself, in each case whether in a single
transaction or in a series of related transactions; (b) without providing at least 30 days prior written notice of same to Lender, (i) change its name or conduct business under any new fictitious name or DBA, not previously disclosed to Lender;
(ii) change its federal employer identification number, organizational identification number or state of organization; or (iii) relocate its chief executive office or principal place of business; (c) amend, modify or otherwise change any of the
terms or provisions in any of its Governing Documents in a manner materially adverse to Lender; or (d) take action causing or permitting, or acquiescing in, a change in operational control in violation of Section 6.5 above.
6.22 ERISA. Borrowers will not permit the occurrence of any
event with respect to any ERISA plan maintained for the benefit of Borrowers’ employees under circumstances that could result in liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, or any of its successors or assigns, or to any entity which
provides funds for such plan, where in any such case such resulting liability could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.23 Banking Relationship; Minimum Deposit Balance. At all
times during the Term, Borrowers and Affiliates identified by Borrowers (which may include Guarantor and the Liquidation Trust) shall establish and maintain a primary banking relationship with Lender, including treasury management services, and
Borrowers and their identified Affiliates will maintain at all times during the Term a minimum deposit balance of $20,000,000 in a Lender depository (non-control) account (the “Minimum Deposit Balance”); it being agreed that the Interest
Reserve Fund on deposit from time to time in the Interest Reserve Account will count toward determining compliance with the Minimum Deposit Balance. Borrowers and Affiliates may also maintain other depository accounts with other banking
institutions where reasonably required to meet Borrowers’ cash needs in geographic areas where Lender does not maintain branch offices; it being understood that Lender does not maintain branch offices in California. If Borrower (and Affiliates) do
not maintain the Minimum Deposit Balance with Lender, then, Lender may impose and Borrowers shall promptly pay, after demand therefor, a covenant non-compliance fee equal to 2% per annum of the shortfall, for each day at the open of business for
which such shortfall has been determined to have occurred. Lender will measure and determine the required compliance with the Minimum Deposit Balance on a quarterly basis, at the time Borrowers are required to provide quarterly financial reporting.
Notwithstanding anything in Article VII or any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Documents to the contrary, the failure to comply with the Minimum Deposit Balance requirement shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default and
the only remedy of the Lender for such non-compliance shall be the 2% per annum non-compliance fee set forth in this Section 6.23.
20
6.24 Financial Statements and Other Information. Borrowers
will provide (or will cause to be provided) to Lender (a) copies of the Liquidation Trust’s publicly filed consolidated quarterly financial reporting, within sixty days after the end of each quarterly reporting period, and (b) a copy of the
Liquidation Trust’s annual federal income tax return, within sixty days after filing. Each set of quarterly reporting delivered to Lender will be accompanied by a certificate of WB Propco’s Chief Financial Officer, certifying that to the signer’s
knowledge, no Event of Default has occurred, or if a Default or Event of Default did arise, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Borrowers took or propose to take with respect thereto.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
7.1 The occurrence of any of the following events shall be an “Event
of Default” hereunder:
(a) Borrowers fail to pay any Monthly Payment as and when due
hereunder and under the Note, or if Borrowers fail to pay any other monetary Obligation under any Loan Document, as and when due, whether on the scheduled due date or upon acceleration, maturity or otherwise, and in each case such failure continues
for three (3) Business Days after notice from Lender.
(b) Borrowers shall fail to keep, observe or perform any of the
terms, covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or another Loan Document, (other than compliance with the Minimum Deposit Balance requirement, which, for the avoidance of doubt, non-compliance therewith shall not
constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder) within the time and in the manner required, and Borrowers fail to rectify or cure such non-performance within thirty (30) days of written notice by Lender to Borrower’s Representative.
(c) If a Borrower defrauds or attempts to defraud Lender, or if any
warranty or representation made by Borrowers in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall at any time be false or misleading in any material respect; provided that if a misrepresentation reasonably appears not to have been purposeful and does
not give rise (or would not reasonably likely give rise) to a Material Adverse Effect, and if Borrower causes the representation or warranty in question to be made correct within thirty (30) days after discovering the misrepresentation or after
notice, whichever occurs first, and if Lender reasonably accepts the corrected representation or warranty, then, an Event of Default will not arise solely on account of the subject misrepresentation.
21
(d) Any Borrower’s or the Liquidation Trust’s dissolution or
termination of existence.
(e) A Borrower or Guarantor becomes the subject of any bankruptcy
or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, or a receivership, in or out of court, for the adjustment of debtor-creditor relationships, which, in any such instance, is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and which is not Properly Contested and bonded, or satisfied and released, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such judgment is entered.
