FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, jointly and severally if more than one, promise to pay to the order of GUARANTY BANK, a federal savings bank organized and existing under the laws of the United States (formerly known as “Guaranty Federal Bank, F.S.B.”), at its principal offices at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be disbursed, with interest on the maximum principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid prior to default or maturity at the rate hereinafter provided, interest only being payable on the first day of each month commencing July 1, 2002, and continuing until and including the Maturity Date (defined below), when the unpaid principal balance of this Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note (this “Note”), together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable. The “Maturity Date” shall be the date which is the Required Release Date for the final Residence or Lot located in the final Approved Subdivision whose construction was financed with proceeds of the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined below). All terms with initially capitalized letters used in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement unless otherwise indicated in this Note.

Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of the Loan Agreement, provided that the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall at no time exceed the principal amount stated above, and Borrower shall have no right to borrow or reborrow amounts under this Note for the construction of Residences for which no prior Disbursements have been made under the Loan Agreement from and after June 13, 2003 (the “Facility Expiration Date”), subject to renewal as provided under the Loan Agreement. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts disbursed hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which principal balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder.

Disbursements hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the written request of Borrower or at the written request of those authorized by Borrower to request Disbursements and direct the disposition of any such Disbursements until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above. Any such Disbursements shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower when the holder believes in good faith that such requests and directions have been made by authorized persons or when said Disbursements are deposited to the credit of any account of Borrower with the holder, regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized hereunder may have authority to draw against such account.

As herein provided, the unpaid Principal Amount (hereafter defined) of this Note (or portions thereof) from time to time outstanding shall bear interest prior to the Maturity Date at a varying rate of interest per annum equal to, at Borrower’s option, (i) the Base Rate Spread (as hereafter defined) or (ii) the applicable Euro-Dollar Base Rate (hereafter defined) (as elected in the manner specified in this Note), provided that in no event shall the Applicable Rate (hereafter defined) exceed the Maximum Rate (hereafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Applicable Rate exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable under this Note shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the Base Interest Rate or the Euro-Dollar Base Rate, as the case may be, shall not reduce the Applicable Rate below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on this Note equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued at the Applicable Rate if the Applicable Rate had at all times been in effect. Interest on this Note, shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to 1/360 of the annual percentage rate stated above, subject to the provisions hereof specifying the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected hereunder.

“Reserve Requirement”: The average maximum rate at which reserves (including any marginal, supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained under Regulation D by member banks of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding one billion U.S. Dollars against “Eurocurrency Liability”, as such quoted term is used in Regulation D. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks by reason of any regulatory change against (a) any category of liability which includes deposits by reference to which the Euro-Dollar Rate is to be determined as provided in this Note, or (b) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans the interest rate on which is determined on the basis of rates referred to in the definition of “Euro-Dollar Rate” set forth above.

If Borrower desires the application of the Euro-Dollar Base Rate, it shall submit a Euro-Dollar Rate Request to Lender. Such Euro-Dollar Rate Request shall specify the Interest Period and the Euro-Dollar Amount and shall be irrevocable, subject to Lender’s right to convert the rate of interest payable hereunder with respect to any Euro-Dollar Amount from the Euro-Dollar Base Rate to the Base Interest Rate as hereinafter provided. In the event that Borrower fails to submit a Euro-Dollar Rate Request with respect to an existing Euro-Dollar Amount not later than twelve o’clock noon (New York time) three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, then the applicable Euro-Dollar Amount shall bear interest, commencing at the end of such Interest Period, at the Base Interest Rate.

In no event shall Borrower have the right to have more than three (3) Interest Periods involving Euro-Dollar Amounts in effect at any one time, whether or not any portion of the Loan is then bearing interest at the Base Interest Rate.

Any portion of the Principal Amount to which the Euro-Dollar Base Rate is not (or cannot pursuant to the terms hereof be) applicable shall bear interest at the Base Interest Rate.

Borrower shall pay to Lender, promptly upon demand, such amounts as are necessary to compensate Lender for additional costs (“Additional Costs”) resulting from any Regulation which (i) subjects Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or this Note, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Lender under the Loan or this Note (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender or of its applicable lending office by the jurisdiction in which Lender’s principal office or such applicable lending office is located), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, Lender, or (iii) imposes on Lender or on the interbank Euro-Dollar market any other conditions affecting the Loan or this Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities. Lender will notify Borrower of any event which would entitle Lender to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after Lender obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.

Without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event that, by reason of any Regulation, (i) Lender incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the amount of (1) a category of deposits or other liabilities of Lender which include deposits by reference to which the Euro-Dollar Rate is determined as provided in this Note and/or (2) a category of extensions of credit or other assets of Lender which includes loans the interest on which is determined on the basis of rates referred to in the definition of “Euro-Dollar Rate” set forth above, (ii) Lender becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, or (iii) it shall be unlawful or impractical for Lender to make or maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate, then Lender’s obligation to make or maintain the Loan (or portions thereof) at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate (and Borrower’s right to request the same) shall be suspended and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and, upon the giving of such notice, interest payable hereunder at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate shall be converted to the Base Interest Rate, unless Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof) then bearing interest at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the interest rate shall convert to the Base

Interest Rate. If subsequently Lender determines that such Regulation has ceased to be in effect, Lender will so advise Borrower and Borrower may convert the rate of interest payable hereunder with respect to those portions of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Base Interest Rate to the Euro-Dollar Base Rate by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Note with respect thereto.

Determinations by Lender of the existence or effect of any Regulation on its costs of making or maintaining the Loan, or portions thereof, at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate, or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Lender with respect to Additional Costs and/or Assessments, shall be conclusive; provided, however, that such determinations are made without manifest error.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of or prior to the determination of the Euro-Dollar Base Rate in respect of any Euro-Dollar Rate Request Amount as herein provided, Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive, provided that such determination is made on a reasonable basis, absent manifest error) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Euro-Dollar market generally, adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for determining the Euro-Dollar Base Rate applicable to an Interest Period, or (ii) the Euro-Dollar Rate, as determined by Lender, will not accurately reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan (or any portion thereof) at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate, then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and the applicable Euro-Dollar Rate Request Amount shall bear interest, or continue to bear interest, as the case may be, at the Base Interest Rate. If at any time subsequent to the giving of such notice Lender determines that because of a change in circumstances the Euro-Dollar Base Rate is again available to Borrower hereunder, Lender shall so advise Borrower and Borrower may convert the rate of interest payable hereunder from the Base Interest Rate to the Euro-Dollar Base Rate by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request to Lender and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Note with respect thereto.

Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in the Mortgage (as hereafter defined) or other Loan Instruments, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Lender reasonably exercised, compensate Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, of any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, of the rate of interest payable hereunder from the Euro-Dollar Base Rate to the Base Interest Rate with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount then bearing interest at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of an Disbursement, which was to have borne interest at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate pursuant to a Euro-Dollar Rate Request, to be made under the Loan Agreement, or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with a Euro-Dollar Rate Request submitted by it to Lender, which amounts shall include, without limitation, lost profits.

Borrower shall have the right to prepay, in whole or in part, the Principal Amount of this Note accruing interest at the Base Interest Rate, without premium or penalty upon the payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid (and any interest which has accrued at the Default Rate and other sums that may be payable hereunder); provided, however, that any Euro-Dollar Amount may be prepaid only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

All payments of principal shall be credited first against principal amounts bearing interest at the Base Interest Rate and then toward the payment of Euro-Dollar Amounts. Payments of Euro-Dollar Amounts shall be applied in such manner as Borrower shall select; provided, however, that Borrower shall select Euro-Dollar Amounts to be repaid in a manner designed to minimize any losses incurred by virtue of such payment. If Borrower shall fail to select the Euro-Dollar Amounts to which such payments are to be applied, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of payment, then Lender shall be entitled to apply the payment to such Euro-Dollar Amounts in the manner it deems appropriate. Borrower shall compensate Lender for any losses incurred by virtue of any payment of those portions of the Loan accruing interest at the Euro-Dollar Base Rate prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, which compensation shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Note, and any payment received pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to losses incurred by Lender by reason of such payment.

If a default shall occur under the Mortgage, interest on the Principal Amount shall, at the option of Lender, immediately and without notice to Borrower, be converted to the Base Interest Rate. The foregoing provision shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of its right to pursue any other remedies available to it under the Mortgage or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan, nor shall it be construed to limit in any way the application of the Default Rate.

Borrower hereby agrees that it shall be bound by any agreement extending the time or modifying the above terms of payment, made by Lender and the owner of owners of the Property whether with or without notice to Borrower, and Borrower shall continue to be liable to pay the amount due hereunder, but with interest at a rate no greater than the Euro-Dollar Base Rate or the Base Interest Rate, as the case may be, according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification.

At the option of the holder hereof, the entire principal balance and accrued interest owing hereon shall, subject to applicable laws, at once become due and payable without notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any default under any of the Loan Instruments, including this Note (each, an “Event of Default”).

(a) Default in the payment of any installment of principal due hereunder; (b) default in the payment of any installment of interest within ten (10) days of the first day of the month in which such installment is due; (c) default in the payment of any other amount due (other than principal or interest) hereunder which is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice thereof; or (d) default in the performance of any of the covenants or provisions hereunder which is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof.

Subject to applicable cure periods, if any, set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the liquidation, termination, dissolution or (if any of the undersigned is a natural person) the death of any of the undersigned or any guarantor hereof.

Subject to applicable cure periods, if any, set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the appointment of a receiver for any of the property of any party liable for the payment of this Note, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise.

Default in the payment of any other indebtedness due the holder hereof, or default in the performance of any other obligation to the holder hereof by the undersigned or any other party liable for the payment hereof, whether as endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise currently existing or incurred in the future, it being reasonably contemplated by the undersigned that it may incur additional indebtedness owing to the holder hereof, from time to time, subsequent to the date hereof.

As Section 7.6 of the Mortgage (defined below) provides: “Title to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property (other than obsolete or worn Personal Property replaced by adequate substitutes of equal or greater value than the replaced items when new) shall become vested in any party other than Trustor, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except as permitted under the release provisions of this Deed of Trust”.

Under any of the Loan Instruments, an Event of Default or default (as defined in that document) occurs.

Notwithstanding any other provision, if Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the default complained of, other than a default for the payment of monies, cannot be cured within the period requiring curing as specified in Lender’s written notice of default, then the default shall be deemed to be cured if Borrower within the notice period shall have commenced the curing of the default and shall thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. If in Lender’s reasonable judgment Borrower fails to diligently prosecute the curing of the default or Lender determines that such default is incurable, then this default shall constitute an Event of Default.

The failure to exercise the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note upon the happening of any one or more of the Events of Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the holder hereof to exercise the same or any other option at that time or at any subsequent time with respect to such uncured default or any other event of uncured default hereunder or under any other of the Loan Instruments. The remedies of the holder hereof, as provided in this Note and in any other of the Loan Instruments, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together, as often as occasion therefor shall arise, at the sole discretion of the holder hereof. The acceptance by the holder hereof of any payment under this Note which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of the holder to exercise the foregoing option or any other option granted to the holder hereof or in any other of the Loan Instruments, at that time or at any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such option. The acceptance by holder of any payment under this Note after the date that such payment is due shall not constitute a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of future or succeeding payments or to declare a default as herein provided for any failure to so pay. The acceptance by holder of the payment of a portion of any installment at any time that such installment is due and payable in its entirety shall neither cure nor excuse the default caused by the failure to pay the whole of such installment and shall not constitute a waiver of holder’s right to require full payment when due of all future or succeeding installments.

After any Event of Default or upon maturity, if permitted by applicable law, principal and past-due interest shall bear interest at the lesser of the Applicable Rate plus five percent (5%) per annum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”). The undersigned acknowledges that late payment to holder of any sums due hereunder will cause holder to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment, payment or any other sum due from the undersigned shall not be received by holder or holder’s designee within ten (10) calendar days after it is due, the undersigned shall then pay to holder a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs holder will incur by reason of late payment. This provision shall not, however, be construed as extending the time for payment of any amount hereunder, and the acceptance of such late charge by holder shall in no event constitute a waiver of the undersigned’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent holder from exercising any of the other rights and remedies with respect to such default.

The undersigned and all other parties now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof, whether as endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise, severally waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, diligence in collecting, grace, notice and protest, and consent to all extensions which from time to time may be granted by the holder hereof and to all partial payments hereon, whether before or after maturity.

If this Note is not paid when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy, probate or other court, whether before or after maturity, the undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collections, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the holder hereof.

This Note is executed pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which Loan Agreement contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain events, and all Disbursements made hereunder shall be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement. This Note is secured by one or more Construction Deeds of Trust (With Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Assignment of Rents and Leases) (collectively, the “Mortgage” or “Deed of Trust”) covering certain property more particularly described in such Mortgage. The proceeds of this Note are to be used for business, commercial, investment or other similar purposes and no portion thereof will be used for personal, family or household use.

All agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the holder hereof in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the holder hereof shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of interest, or

if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension hereof) so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the holder hereof may, from time to time, sell or offer to sell interests in the Loan evidenced by this Note as secured by the Mortgage to one or more participants. The undersigned authorizes the holder hereof to disseminate any information it has pertaining to the Loan, including, without limitation, complete and current credit information on the undersigned, any of its principals and any guarantor of this Note, to any such participant or prospective participant.

This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty. All payments on the indebtedness evidenced hereby, other than regularly scheduled payments, shall be applied to such indebtedness in such order and manner as the holder hereof may elect in its sole discretion.

This Note amends, restates, and supersedes in its entirety a certain Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note dated June 8, 2001 executed by the undersigned in favor of the payee named herein in the principal amount of SIXTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($65,000,000.00), and shall constitute a renewal thereof for purposes of the Mortgage and otherwise, and all obligations of the undersigned under this Note shall continue to be secured in full under the Mortgage.

EXCEPT WHERE FEDERAL LAW IS APPLICABLE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY FEDERAL USURY CEILING OR OTHER FEDERAL LAW WHICH, FROM TIME TO TIME, IS APPLICABLE TO THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED HEREIN AND PREEMPTS STATE USURY LAWS), THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
