3. RELEASE OF LETTER OF CREDIT. Bank agrees that it shall release the
Letter of Credit and return the original thereof to Borrowers at such time as
the total outstanding advances under the Loan are equal to or less than Eight
Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00); provided, however, that upon a release of the
Letter of Credit, the Maximum Amount of Available Credit shall thereafter be
$8,000,000.00, or such lesser amount as is set forth in Section 1 above. Bank
further agrees that prior to drawing the Letter of Credit, Bank will give
Borrowers written notice of any "Default" (as hereinafter defined) to Borrowers,
and shall give Borrowers a period of thirty (30) days following Borrowers'
receipt of such notice within which to cure such Default.
4. INITIAL DISBURSEMENT. As of the date of this Agreement, Bank has made an
initial disbursement of loan proceeds as described on Exhibit C attached hereto
and made a part hereof, and Borrowers expressly acknowledge the receipt thereof.
5. PROCEDURE AND POLICY FOR LOAN ADVANCES. The procedure and policy for
making Loan advances for either or both of the Fawn Lake Project and the Lake
Forest II Project, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent in
Section 6, shall be as follows:
5.1 Proof of Improvements. The applicable Borrower shall submit an AIA form
G-702 Application and Certificate for Payment, and AIA form G-703 Continuation
Sheet certified by the applicable Borrower, the applicable Project Architect, if
any, and the applicable General Contractor, if any, for the applicable Project,
pertaining to the ongoing development of the applicable Project, including the
construction on the applicable Land of residential subdivision sections, common
area amenities, and other improvements in accordance with the applicable Plans
and Specifications (collectively, the "Improvements"), indicating that they have
inspected the Improvements and agree
-3-
that the Improvements, the cost of which payment is being requested, have been
installed on the Land.
5.2 Affidavits of Materialmen. Borrowers shall submit, with each advance
request, original or certified copies of affidavits listing the name, trade and
requested materialman who has done work or supplied materials to the applicable
Project for the Improvements, and invoices from suppliers and
contractors/subcontractors, which contain each of the following: (i) name of
supplier, contractor/subcontractor; (ii) address of supplier,
contractor/subcontractor; (iii) date of invoice; (iv) identification of
applicable Project; and (v) amount and itemized list of materials supplied or
work performed.
5.3 Overall Cost Breakdown. Borrowers shall submit an overall cost
breakdown for both of the Projects, including all construction soft costs, in an
AIA G-703 format.
5.4 Lien Waivers. After the first advance of Loan proceeds, Borrowers shall
submit lien waivers for each contractor/subcontractor or material supplier
corresponding to the disbursements made for the immediately prior advance and
corresponding to the invoices, and an AIA form G-703 for such advance, which
shall verify that such contractors/subcontractors and material suppliers have
been paid up to the amounts set forth on such invoices and such AIA form G-703.
5.5 Purpose of Subsequent Advances. After the first advance of Loan
proceeds, advances under the Loan shall be made only to fund those costs and
expenses related to continued development and operation of the Projects,
including, but not limited to, the following: Fawn Lake Country Club clubhouse;
operating deficit at Lake Forest Country Club; Texas Gas line repairs at the
Lake Forest golf course (not to exceed $150,000); preliminary clearing and
grading; lot development costs; architectural and engineering fees; common area
development costs; property taxes; liability insurance; all-risk insurance on
the Fawn Lake sales center and guard house; marketing and overhead expenses;
interest expenses related to the Loan; and operating deficits relating to the
operation of the "Homeowner's Associations" (as hereinafter defined) and the
Fawn Lake golf course.
5.6 New Sections of Lots. Prior to any advance for development of a new
section of lots in either Project, Bank shall be satisfied that sufficient
unadvanced Loan funds and/or other revenue sources exist for the completion of
development (i.e., site preparation) of such new lot section. With respect to
the Fawn Lake Project, NTS/Virginia must have obtained "Lot Reservations" for a
minimum of 80% of the total development cost of each new phase prior to the
commencement of construction of each such new phase. The term, "Lot
Reservation," shall mean a binding written agreement for the sale of a lot to a
third party purchaser, with such third party purchaser having paid a good faith
deposit of at least One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, prior to obtaining the required Lot Reservations for a new phase of
the Fawn Lake Project, NTS/Virginia may request disbursements of the Loan which
in the aggregate may not exceed the lesser of $150,000, or 16% of the total
development costs with respect to such new phase, in order to pay for
predevelopment costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, engineering
costs, presale marketing, preliminary clearing, grading, roadway, and utility
construction costs.
-4-
Also with respect to the Fawn Lake Project, a maximum of up to $2,300,000
of the Loan may be disbursed for construction of the Fawn Lake Country Club,
Phase I. No further disbursements may be made for Phases II and III without
Bank's prior specific written approval.
With respect to the Lake Forest II Project, NTS/Lake Forest II can have a
maximum of ninety (90) lots developed or under development in the Lake Forest
II Project at any one time.
5.7 Special Limitations. Disbursements of the Loan for General Overhead and
MIF Expenses shall be limited, as follows: Bank has initially allocated $400,000
of the Loan for General Overhead and MIF Expenses for the first three (3) months
of the term of the Loan. Thereafter, as long as there are funds allocated to the
General Overhead and MIF Expenses category of Borrowers' budget as a result of
the sales of "Lots" as described in Section 5.17, Borrowers may request and
receive disbursements of the Loan for General Overhead and MIF Expenses. If
there are no funds allocated to the General Overhead and MIF Expenses category
of Borrowers' budget at the time of Borrowers' request for an advance for such
items, than Borrowers shall not be entitled to receive such disbursement, and
Borrowers must pay for such items from their own funds. If subsequent closings
of Lot sales result in the allocation of additional funds to the General
Overhead and MIF Expenses category, Borrowers shall then be entitled to the
disbursement by Bank of one (1) previous month's General Overhead and MIF
Expenses plus the then-current month (for a maximum of two (2) months).
5.8 Sufficient Funds for Lot Sections. In the event Bank determines that
there are insufficient funds to complete a new section of lots in either Project
under construction, or that the value of Borrowers' lot inventory either under
development or fully developed is less than $5,000,000.00 as calculated on a
gross retail basis, than Bank shall not be obligated to make any further
advances under the Loan, and Bank shall have the option to require that
Borrowers deposit funds with Bank within fifteen (15) days following receipt of
written notice from Bank which are sufficient to complete construction of any
lot section then under development.
5.9 Optional Disbursement of Funds Through Title Company. Bank hereby
reserves the right to disburse all loan proceeds through the title insurance
company providing the title policy as set forth in Section 6.1(d), at Borrowers'
expense.
5.10 Disbursement by Bank to Contractors and Subcontractors. Subject to
Borrowers' prior right not to pay a claim, and provided Borrowers have provided
written notice of such dispute to Bank, which claim is disputed in good faith,
Bank shall have the right to pay any contractor/subcontractor or supplier
directly without Borrowers' consent, and to charge the amount of such payment to
Borrowers' account as though such amount had been advanced pursuant to request
by Borrowers, if such disbursement is deemed necessary by Bank to aid in the
progress of construction. Bank shall, in no event, be responsible or liable to
any person other than Borrowers for its disbursement of or failure to disburse
the Loan proceeds or any part thereof, and no contractor, subcontractor,
supplier or laborer shall have any right or claim against Bank under this
Agreement or by virtue of Bank's administration hereof.
-5-
5.11 Limitations; Holdback. Each request for advance submitted by Borrowers
shall constitute a representation that the work and materials for which payment
is being requested have physically been incorporated into the Improvements, free
of any security interest, lien or encumbrance other than the liens in favor of
Bank created as security for the Loan. The amount to be disbursed by Bank on the
date set for each disbursement shall be an amount equal to that percent of the
total construction work to be done that has been completed to date in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications for the Projects, less the total amount
disbursed by Bank prior to the disbursement date, less five percent (5%) thereof
as a retainer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate Bank
to disburse any portion of the Loan for work performed where such disbursement
request is for amounts in excess of the amounts set forth on the cost budget
required to be provided to Bank, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
D.
5.12 Sufficient Funds for Completion. Borrowers shall provide such evidence
as is satisfactory to Bank to establish that there are sufficient funds
available under the Loan to complete the Improvements. In connection therewith,
Bank may require that either: (i) within fifteen (15) days after notification,
Borrowers deposit funds into the "UBA," as hereinafter defined, into which Bank
may disburse all Loan proceeds for the purpose of segregating such funds for the
construction of the Improvements, in an amount which is necessary in addition to
the Loan to complete the Improvements; and/or (ii) a sufficient amount be
retained from the Loan proceeds to assure, at all times, that the construction
of the Improvements can be completed.
In order to determine whether additional funds shall be required under this
Section 5.12, Bank shall determine: (i) whether the costs to complete the
Improvements and pay all Project related costs and expenses exceed the amounts
budgeted therefor as set forth in Exhibit D, after a review of Borrowers'
requests for advances of Loan proceeds and Bank's construction reports; and/or
(ii) whether the sale of Project lots and the corresponding production of income
from such sales, after consideration of Loan debt service costs, costs of sales,
and the Project operating expenses, is sufficient to (a) repay the Loan, and (b)
establish that the Project's interest reserve, as described on Exhibit D, is
sufficient to service the Loan to maturity, based upon Bank's then-revised sales
projections. In making such determination, Bank shall give appropriate
consideration to any cost savings realized by Borrowers during construction in
regard to the amounts budgeted therefor.
5.13 Release of Retained Funds. The funds retained from the Loan proceeds
to assure the completion of the construction of the Improvements shall be
advanced to Borrowers upon final acceptance of the work by Bank or its
representative and the delivery to Bank of all of the affidavits, certificates,
waivers, releases and receipts required under this Agreement and/or under
Virginia or Kentucky law, to protect the Land and Improvements and the Deed of
Trust and the Mortgage against mechanics liens.
5.14 Frequency of Advances. Loan advances shall be made not more than once
a month.
5.15 Limitation on Aggregate Amount of Advances. In no event shall the
total aggregate amount of advances disbursed pursuant to the Loan exceed Forty
Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00).
-6-
5.16 Inspection Fees. At Bank's option, from and after an Event of Default,
Bank may consign an independent contractor to make such reasonable inspections
of the Projects as Bank deems necessary. Borrowers shall pay the costs of such
inspections and Bank's reasonable out-of- pocket expenses incurred in connection
therewith, promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor.
5.17 Lot Releases. As individual "Lots" in the Projects are ready to be
sold, Bank hereby agrees to provide a partial release from the lien of the Deed
of Trust or Mortgage, as the case may be, upon payment to Bank of an amount
equal to the greater of (i) ninety-one percent (91%) of the gross sales price of
such Lot, less discounts, or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the original
sales price of such Lot as quoted by Borrowers and approved by Bank. The entire
amount of such payments to Bank shall be applied as a reduction of principal on
the Loan; provided, however, that sixteen percent (16%) of such payments shall
be allocated to the category in Borrowers' budget for future General Overhead
and MIF Expenses. Bank shall not be required to release any Lot from the lien of
the Deed of Trust and/or Mortgage if an Event of Default exists under the Loan
Documents. The term, "Lot," as used in this Section 5.17 and elsewhere in this
Agreement, shall be deemed to mean lots as shown on recorded plats of the Land
that have been filed of record in the applicable jurisdiction.
5.18 Loan Fee. Borrowers shall pay Bank a loan fee in the amount of
three-fourths of one percent (3/4%) of each advance made hereunder attributable
to the Fawn Lake Project, and a loan fee in the amount of one-quarter of one
percent (1/4%) of each advance made hereunder attributable to the Lake Forest II
Project, at the time of each such advance; provided, that such fee shall be
waived as to the initial amount disbursed to pay off the Bank of Louisville loan
secured by a lien on the Lake Forest II Project.
6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT ADVANCES.
6.1 Initial Advance. Prior to the making of the initial advance of the
Loan, Bank shall have received the following, all of which shall be satisfactory
to Bank:
(a) Bank's appraisal fee, inspection fees, environmental review fees,
