Bankruptcy
Section 10.01 Carryover of This Agreement in the Event of Bankruptcy. The following
provisions are of particular applicability in the event any of the Core Parties files for relief
under Bankruptcy Code, or an order of relief is granted as to any of the Core Parties under
Bankruptcy Code. The Core Parties enter into these provisions in consideration of the procedures
provided in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which Core FL and
Horizons 5 and subsidiaries of Core acknowledge.
Section 10.02 Relief from Automatic Stay. Each of the Core Parties represents that:
(i) each of the Core Parties has no intention to file or acquiesce in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding at any time hereafter; (ii) the forbearance allowed by and the performance by PSLA of
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement are sufficient for the Mortgagors to pursue an orderly
winding-down of its business operations; (iii) neither Mortgagors nor any of the Core Subsidiaries
will have any equity in the mortgaged/pledged assets in excess of the amount owed pursuant to the
Loans or any realistic opportunity to successfully reorganize their respective financial affairs in
bankruptcy; and (iv) so long as PSLA is not in default under this Agreement, any bankruptcy filing
or acquiescence therein by any of the Mortgagors or the Core Subsidiaries after the Release Date
would be as to PSLA in bad faith and solely for the purpose of delaying or frustrating PSLA in the
enforcement of its rights. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, including the forbearance of PSLA from
exercising its rights and remedies as more particularly set forth in Section 9.01 above, and PSLA’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, each of the Core Parties hereby agrees that in
the event any of the Core Parties shall: (i) file with any bankruptcy court of competent
jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) file or be the
subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors that is not dismissed within ninety
(90) days of its filing; (iii) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any
trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator; or (iv) be the subject of any order, judgment, or
decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party
for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or
similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, or relief for debtors, subject to court approval, PSLA shall thereupon be entitled, and
each of the Core Parties irrevocably consents, to relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section
362 of Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies
otherwise available to PSLA as provided in the Loan Documents, this Agreement or as otherwise
provided by law, and each of the Core Parties hereby irrevocably waives any right to object to such
relief. The foregoing waivers by the Core Parties shall not apply and shall be of no force or
effect in the event that this Agreement is terminated due to an uncured Event of Default on the
part of PSLA hereunder.
As additional consideration for PSLA entering into and performing its obligations under this
Agreement, the Core Parties and each of them agree that in the event a bankruptcy petition under
any Chapter of
- 26 -
Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against any of the Core Parties at any time after the execution of
this Agreement, PSLA shall be entitled to the immediate entry of an order from Bankruptcy court
granting PSLA complete relief from the automatic stay imposed by §362 of Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.
§362) to exercise its foreclosure and other rights and remedies with respect to the Loan, upon the
filing with Bankruptcy court of a motion for relief from the automatic stay with a copy of this
Agreement attached thereto. The Core Parties and each of them specifically agree that: (a) upon
filing a motion for relief from the automatic stay, PSLA shall be entitled to relief from the stay
without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing and without the necessity or requirement of PSLA to
establish or prove the value of the property or collateral, the lack of adequate protection of its
interest in the Loan, or the lack of equity in the Loan; (b) the lifting of the automatic stay
hereunder by Bankruptcy court shall be deemed to be “for cause” pursuant to §362(d)(1) of
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362(d)(1)); (c) the Mortgagors and Guarantor and each of them will not
directly or indirectly oppose or otherwise defend against PSLA’s efforts to gain relief from the
automatic stay; and (d) PSLA shall be entitled to recover from the Core Parties and each of them,
all of PSLA’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any of them. The remedies prescribed in this paragraph ape
not exclusive and shall not limit PSLA’s rights under the Loan Documents, this Agreement or by law.
The foregoing waivers by the Core Parties shall not apply and shall be of no force or effect in the
event that this Agreement is terminated due to an uncured Event of Default on the part of PSLA
hereunder.
Section 10.03 Priority Claim to the Extent PSLA’s Security Decreased. All rents and
income are Cash Collateral, and to the extent they are used and consumed after filing or entry of
any Cash Collateral Order, Mortgagors and the Core Subsidiaries specifically agree that they are
collateral for a secured claim under Section 506 of Bankruptcy Code in the amount so used. To the
extent the collateral securing PSLA’s claim in bankruptcy proceeding is thereafter deemed or proves
to be insufficient to pay PSLA’s claim in full, PSLA’s secured claim shall be deemed to have been
inadequately protected by the provisions of the Cash Collateral Order, and it shall therefore have
an administrative expense claim in the proceeding in an amount equal to the diminution in the value
of its collateral, with super priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind
specified in 11 U.S.C. §§ 503(b) and 507(b), which super priority shall be equal to the priority
provided under the provisions of Section 364(c)(1) of Bankruptcy Code over all other costs and
administrative expenses incurred in the case of the kind specified in, or ordered pursuant to,
Sections 105, 326, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b) or 726 of Bankruptcy Code and shall at
all times be senior to the rights of Mortgagors and the Core Subsidiaries or any successor trustee
in the resulting bankruptcy proceeding or any subsequent proceeding under Bankruptcy Code, except
that such administrative expense claim shall be subordinate to professional fees and reimbursement
of expenses that may be awarded to professionals retained by Mortgagors and the Core Subsidiaries
pursuant to Sections 330 and/or 331 of Bankruptcy Code and fees of the United States Trustee.
Section 10.04 Bankruptcy Proceedings. The Core Parties agree to the following, to the
fullest extent allowed by law and with the full intention that such stipulations and agreements
shall survive the filing of any bankruptcy proceeding, that, in the event (i) that any of the Core
Parties files for protection under the Bankruptcy Code (it being understood that this Agreement is
not intended to preclude such filing), or (ii) if any involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed
against any of the Core Parties, and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing, at any
time from or after the date hereof:
- 27 -
(a) Consideration for Forbearance. PSLA gave up valuable rights and agreed to
forbear from exercising legal remedies available to it in exchange for the promises,
representations, acknowledgments and warranties of Core FL and Horizons 5 and subsidiaries of Core
FL contained herein and PSLA would not have entered into this Agreement but for such promises,
representations, acknowledgments and warranties, all of which have been freely bargained for and
accepted by PSLA in good faith; and
(b) Revival. If prior to expiration of the termination date in the Core Release,
or if the Core Release terminates, the payment of any money or the transfer of any property to PSLA
by or behalf of any of the Core Parties subsequently should be alleged to be voidable, invalid or
fraudulent, whether as a preference, a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise, under Bankruptcy Code or
any other federal or state law relating to creditors’ or debtors’ rights (any such payment or
transfer a “Voidable Transfer”), and if PSLA either shall be required to repay or restore
any such Voidable Transfer or upon the advice of counsel shall elect to do so, then: (a) the
liability of the Core Parties for such Voidable Transfer automatically shall be revived, reinstated
and restored as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made and PSLA shall have an allowed
claim against the Core Parties’ bankruptcy estate for the amount of the Voidable Transfer; and (b)
the Core Parties, jointly and severally, shall be liable to PSLA for all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses incurred by PSLA in connection with such
Voidable Transfer and any proceedings or discussions relating thereto.

5.02, nothing in this Agreement shall be intended or construed to hold PSLA liable or responsible
for any expenses, disbursement, liability or obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever, including
but not limited to, wages, salaries, payroll taxes, deposits, withholding, benefits or other
amounts payable to or on behalf of Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or the Core Subsidiaries, whether or not
there is sufficient money in the operating bank account to pay such expenses or costs and whether
any present or future creditor attempts to assert a claim against PSLA or any land mortgaged
pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or this Agreement, including but not limited to any attempt in
any bankruptcy proceeding to assert a claim under the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 11.20 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is made for the sole protection
of the parties to this Agreement (to the extent expressly set forth herein), and their respective
successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, neither this
Agreement nor any rights thereunder may be assigned or transferred by any of the Core Parties
without the prior written consent of PSLA, which may be granted, conditioned and/or withheld in the
exercise of its sole discretion. Time shall be of the strictest essence in the performance of each
and every one of the parties obligations hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect without impairment.
Section 11.21 No Waiver. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
PSLA and the acceptance by PSLA of the performance of the Core Parties hereunder: (a) shall not,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, constitute a waiver or release by the PSLA of any
default that may now or hereafter exist under the Loan Documents; (b) shall not constitute a
novation of the Loan Documents as it is the intent of the parties to modify the Loan Documents as
expressly set out herein; and (c) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, shall be without
prejudice to, and is not a waiver or release of, the PSLA’s rights at any time in the future to
exercise any and all rights conferred upon PSLA by the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in
equity, including but not limited to the right to accelerate the total amount due under any notes
entered into pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or this Agreement, the appointment of a receiver,
the demand for the assignment of rents, and the institution of legal proceedings against the
property and/or to institute proceedings against any of the Core Parties and/or exercise any right
against any other person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
Section 11.22 Performance of Loan Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, Core
FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC agree to perform all obligations required by the Loan Documents but
no new event of default, or event that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
shall constitute an event of default under the Loan Documents.
Section 11.23 Partial Payments. If Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC make future
partial payments under the Loan Documents, such payments will be applied in such order of
application as PSLA deems appropriate to reduce the amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents,
but PSLA’s acceptance of such payments and their application shall not cure the defaults under the
Loan Documents, shall not affect PSLA’s exercise of its remedies, shall not in any way constitute
an agreement or commitment to modify, renew or extend the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall
not constitute a waiver of any kind by PSLA.
- 32 -
Section 11.24 Reservations of Rights. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, PSLA’s
willingness to work with Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC in the manner set forth herein shall
not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and/or any document executed by PSLA pursuant
thereto, in any manner prejudice the right of PSLA at any time and for any reason to avail itself
of all remedies available under the Loan Documents, Florida law and/or South Carolina law, as
applicable. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, PSLA thus reserves the right to enforce the
accelerated Loans, foreclose the Mortgages and take any further actions to protect its interest
upon occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 11.25 Limitation on Interest. No provision of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, or any instrument evidencing or securing the same, or otherwise relating to the
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall require the payment or permit the collection, application or
receipt of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable state or federal law. If
any excessive interest in such respect is herein, or in any such other instrument provided for, or
shall be adjudicated to be so provided for herein or in any such instrument, the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern, and that neither Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC nor their respective
heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns shall be obligated to pay the amount of such
interest to the extent it is in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. It is expressly
stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC and the PSLA at all
times to comply with the usury and other laws relating to the Loan Documents, and any subsequent
revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof, to the extent applicable to the Loan
Documents. In the event the PSLA ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess,
such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid
principal balance of the Loans, and, if upon such application the principal balance of the Loans is
paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid forthwith to Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or Core SC
and the provisions of the Loans and the Loan Documents and any demand or other charging document
shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced,
without the necessity of execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable
law, but so as otherwise to permit the recovery of the fullest amount called for thereunder. In
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the
maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged by applicable law, the Core FL, Horizons 5 and/or
Core SC and the PSLA shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, amortize,
prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the Loans
so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of
the Loans is to the greatest extent possible less than the maximum amount or rate of interest
allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount
of interest to be charged than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law,
references in the Loan Documents to “applicable law” for purposes of determining the maximum
interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as
so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest.
Section 11.26 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto shall hold in strict
confidence, and they shall not disclose, directly or indirectly by any means, to any other person
(nor allow any of its other affiliated entities, employees, agents and/or other representatives to
disclose) without the prior written consent of the other parties: (a) the existence of this
Agreement or the draft term sheet which was negotiated by the parties prior hereto; and/or (b) any
term or condition or other provision of this Agreement or the draft term sheet which was negotiated
by the parties prior hereto, except as provided
- 33 -
below. The parties may disclose the existence of this Agreement and such portions thereof as may be
reasonable necessary: (i) on a need-to-know and confidential basis to its employees, agents,
consultants, and members of professional firms serving it, such terms of this Agreement as are
necessary, provided that the disclosing party informs such party of the confidential nature of such
information and the requirements of this Section and such party agrees (which agreement may be
oral) to comply with the requirements of this Section; (ii) to their attorneys for purposes of
enforcement; (iii) to the limited extent necessary if required or reasonably necessary in
connection with any Legal Proceeding; or (iv) to the limited extent necessary pursuant to any
applicable laws, ordinances, judgments, decrees, injunctions, writs, rules, regulations, orders,
interpretations, licenses, permits and orders of any court of competent jurisdiction, arbitration
or Governmental Authority in any relevant jurisdiction. For purposes hereof, the following terms
shall have the following meanings: (i) “Governmental Authority” means any federal, state,
municipal, national or other government, governmental department, commission, board, bureau, court,
agency or instrumentality or political subdivision thereof or any entity or officer exercising
executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to any
government or any court, in each case whether associated with a state of the United States, the
United States, or a foreign entity or government, including, without limitation, the Securities and
Exchange Commission; and (ii) “Legal Proceeding” means any action, suit, audit, investigation or
proceeding of any nature, in law or in equity, pending or threatened, by or before any court,
tribunal, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, to comply with
a party’s or its affiliate’s disclosure obligations under Federal or State securities laws and
regulations and/or any regulations of any applicable stock exchanges. In the event that there is a
material breach of the foregoing provisions, such shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder on
the part of the breaching party. In the event of any violation of the forgoing, the non-breaching
party may enforce its rights hereunder pursuant to actions for injunctive relief, specific
performance, money damages and such other remedies as may be available at law or in equity. The
provisions of this Section shall for a period of five (5) years from the effective date of this
Agreement.

assigns, all of which are complete and correct to the best of the actual knowledge of Xxxxx X.

that
1

certain other parties (the “Agreement”) and/or any other documents executed incidental thereto,
including but without limitation the Participation Agreement (as defined in the Agreement); (b)

3. Each Releasor, respectively, further covenants and agrees not to commence or maintain any
claim, (but excluding from this General Release any rights of set off, affirmative defenses,
counterclaims) suit, action, proceeding, referral or litigation in respect of any Released Matter.
Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that each member of the PSL/THH Group would suffer
irreparable harm in the event any Releasor breaches its waivers, releases or agreements contained
herein, and that monetary damages alone would be inadequate to remedy such breach; and accordingly
that the covenants not to xxx contained herein shall be specifically enforceable by each member of
the PSL/THH Group by injunction or other equitable remedy against the breaching Releasor, without
waiving any claim for damages caused by any such breach.
4. Each Releasor, jointly and severally with the other Releasors, represents and warrants with
respect to each and every claim or other matter included in the Released Matters as provided
herein, that he, she, it or they has or have not sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise voluntarily
or involuntarily disposed of or transferred any claim or any interest in or right to any claim or
other Released Matter, and that each and every claim and other Released Matter is fully and finally
liquidated, discharged, settled, waived, released and satisfied. Each Releasor represents and
warrants that all affiliates of any Releasor that have claims or possible claims in connection with
the subject matter hereof, have joined in this General Release, and the Releasors’ execution and
delivery of this General Release is on behalf of and is binding upon all such affiliates, and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
5. In the event that any of the PSL/THH Group institutes legal proceedings to enforce this
Release, or asserts this Release as a defense to enforcement of any legal action by the Releasors
against any member of the PSL/THH Group, and prevails therein, it shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys fees, paralegal fees and costs (regardless of whether any of the foregoing are
incurred in preparation for trial, at trial, on appeal and/or in bankruptcy) from the Releasors.
6. This General Release (i) evidences the complete agreement of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof, (ii) may not be modified orally, but only by a writing signed by the
party to be charged and (iii) may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
7. This General Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive
laws of the State of Florida.

8. The releases, waivers, discharges and covenants set forth or provided for herein are, and
are deemed for all purposes to be, earned and supported by present, good and valuable consideration
by, to, and for the benefit of all Parties, and final, irrevocable and complete without further
condition precedent or subsequent, except as expressly set forth herein. The Releasors acknowledge
that they have given this General Release after consultation with and upon advice of counsel of
their choice and that this General Release will bar legal actions against the Released Parties on
account of claims released and on account of all el eased Matters.
9. Each party acknowledges and stipulates that the compromise and settlement which form the
basis of this General Release have been arrived at after thorough bargaining and negotiation, and
represent a final, mutually agreeable compromise of matters provided herein. Each party further
acknowledges that, after the date hereof, he or it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or
different from those which he or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to matters
encompassed by this General Release, but that it is the intention of each party to be fully,
finally and forever settle the Released Matters notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any
such additional or different facts which constitute the Released Matters.
