October 20, 1998, is made by and between Bluegreen Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation whose address is 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000,
("BLUEGREEN CORPORATION") and Bluegreen Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation
whose address is 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 ("BLUEGREEN
RESORTS" and together with Bluegreen Corporation and the Additional Borrowers
(as hereinafter defined) collectively referred to herein as the "BORROWERS" and
sometimes referred to herein individually as a "BORROWER"), and Xxxxxx
Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LENDER"), whose address is 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000.
RECITALS
A. Borrowers desire Lender to extend a revolving secured credit
facility to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
B. Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Documents will be secured
INTER ALIA by a security interest in the Pledged Receivables (as hereinafter
defined).
C. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Appendix attached hereto and made a part hereof by this
reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrowers and Lender
agree as follows:
SECTION 1
THE LOAN
1.1 LOAN AVAILABILITY. During the period commencing on the date hereof
and ending on June 26, 2000, Lender shall make Advances to the Borrowers not in
excess of Availability provided that the Borrowers satisfy all conditions, as
applicable, set forth in Section 3 hereof. Advances shall be (a) in minimum
amounts of $100,000 each or such lesser amount equal to Availability hereunder,
and (b) made no more frequently than four (4) times each month nor more than
one (1) time each week; provided, however, that, subject to Availability, any
request for an Advance of less than $100,000 or for any Advance in excess of
the number of Advances permitted in any week or month shall be honored by
Lender if accompanied by payment to Lender of a fee (the "SERVICE CHARGE") of
$3,000 for each such Advance. Except in connection with a prepayment mandated
under Section 1.7(b)(i) below, any amounts repaid during the Term may be
reborrowed during the Term.
8
1.2 TERM. The Loan shall be for a term of two (2) years from June 26,
1998 to the end of the Fiscal Month of Bluegreen Corporation in which the date
hereof occurs (the "TERM").
1.3 INTEREST RATE. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan
together with all other Indebtedness shall bear interest at the Interest Rate;
provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default the Loan will bear interest at the Default Rate which interest
shall be payable on a Payment Date.
1.4 FUNDING ADVANCES. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof with respect to Advances hereunder and
the limitations set forth in Section 1.1, the Lender shall make the proceeds of
an Advance available to the Borrowers by wiring funds to such account or such
other destination or directive as Bluegreen Corporation on its own behalf or on
behalf of the Borrowers as it may direct in writing.
1.5 NOTE. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory grid note
(herein, as amended, modified, extended or replaced from time to time, called
the "NOTE") substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT A, with appropriate
insertions, payable to the order of the Lender. The Borrowers hereby
irrevocably authorize the Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate
notations on the grid attached to the Note (or on any continuation of such
grid, or at the Lender's option, in its records), which notations, if made,
shall evidence, INTER ALIA, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the
interest rate and interest period applicable to the Advance evidenced thereby.
Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter
thereof absent manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to make any
such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of the
Borrowers.
1.6 PAYMENTS.
(a) WEEKLY PAYMENTS. All funds collected by the Lockbox Bank from the
Pledged Receivables shall be paid to Lender at least weekly pursuant to the
Lockbox Agreement, and applied in the following order: first to the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness and then to the reduction of
the principal balance of the Loan; provided, however, that after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, such amounts shall
be applied in the following order: first to the payment of costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in collecting any amounts due in connection with the Loan;
second, to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan; and
thereafter to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loan. If the funds
received by Lender from the Lockbox Bank with respect to any month are
insufficient to pay interest in full, Borrowers shall pay the difference to
Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice from Lender. Payments
received by Borrowers directly from any Obligor shall be delivered to the
Lockbox Bank within two (2) Business Days. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 1.6 to the contrary, in the event of the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have sole discretion as to the
order in which said payments shall be applied.
(b) FINAL PAYMENT. The Indebtedness shall be payable in full on the
Maturity Date.
2
9
1.7 PREPAYMENTS.
(a) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers may not make any voluntary
prepayments except (i) in accordance with Section 1.6(a), (ii) as may result
from the sale of Pledged Receivables financed under this Agreement into the
Purchase Facility, (iii) in the event the Purchase Limit is reached under the
Purchase Facility and Lender, in its capacity as Purchaser thereunder, has
refused to increase the Purchase Limit in accordance with Section 2.12(b) of
the Purchase Facility or (iv) in the event Lender has reviewed and rejected
Receivables associated with the Club. In connection with any sale to the
Purchase Facility of Pledged Receivables, Lender shall release its lien and
security interest in and to such Pledged Receivable and the related Pledged
Receivables Collateral if but only if the Repayment Price in respect to such
Pledged Receivable is paid to Lender. All Repayment Prices shall be applied as
prepayments of the Loan. From time to time Lender shall also cause to be
released from the lien of a Resort Blanket Mortgage those Intervals with
respect to which the related Pledged Receivable has been fully paid and fully
performed. Additionally, in the event a Pledged Receivable is no longer an
Eligible Completed Unit Receivable or an Eligible Uncompleted Unit Receivable
and the Borrowers take the action described in Section 1.7(b), the Lender will
release its lien on the Pledged Receivable. All out of pocket costs and
expenses in connection with any partial releases shall be for the expense of
the Borrowers.
(b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. If at any time the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Exposure, Borrowers shall, within five
(5) Business Days after notice, prepay the Loan in an amount necessary to
reduce the principal balance of the Loan to the Maximum Exposure; provided,
however, that Borrowers, at their option within five (5) Business Days after
notice, may deliver to Lender one (1) or more Pledged Receivables such that,
after delivery of such Pledged Receivable(s), the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Exposure.
1.8 FEES. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender the structuring fees as
described in the Structuring Fee Letter attached hereto as EXHIBIT K.
1.9 INCREASED COSTS. (a) If (i) any change in Regulation D of the
Board, or (ii) any Regulatory Change, in each case occurring after the date
hereof:
(A) shall subject the Affected Party to any additional tax, duty
or other charge with respect to Advances made hereunder or a
participation purchased hereunder, or shall change the basis
of taxation of payments to such party of the interest on
Advances funded by it or any participation purchased
hereunder in any material respect, or any other amounts due
under this Agreement in respect of any Advances made or
funded by it or participations purchased by it (except for
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
party imposed by the jurisdiction of such party's principal
executive office); or
3
10
(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), but
excluding any reserve included in the determination of
interest rates, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Affected Party; or
(C) shall change the amount of capital maintained or required or
requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party;
or
(D) shall impose on any Affected Party any other condition
affecting any Advance or participation made or funded by any
Affected Party; and the result of any of the foregoing is or
would be to increase the cost to (or in the case of
Regulation D referred to above, to impose a cost on) (a) an
Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Advances
or purchasing participations, or (b) the Lender for
continuing its relationship with the Borrowers, to reduce the
amount of any sum received or contracted by an Affected Party
under this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document
with respect thereto, or in the good faith determination of
such Affected Party, to reduce the rate of return on the
capital of an Affected Party as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a
level below that which such Affected Party would otherwise
have achieved, then within five Business Days after demand by
the Lender on behalf of such Affected Party to Borrowers
(which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement of
such Affected Party, subject to the second sentence of
subsection (e) below), Borrowers shall pay the Affected Party
such additional amount or amounts as will (in the reasonable
determination of such Affected Party) compensate such
Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction.
Such written statement (which shall include calculations in
reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error,
be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter
thereof; and
(E) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Lender (which
shall promptly notify the Borrowers) within 90 days after
such Affected Party has actual knowledge of any event
occurring after the date hereof that will entitle such
Affected Party to such additional amounts as compensation
pursuant to this Section 1.9. Such additional amounts shall
accrue from the date of such event (or if such notice is not
given within 90 days after such Affected Party's knowledge of
such event, from the date which is 90 days prior to
4
11
the date such notice is given by such Affected Party).
(F) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 1.9
which materially increases the Borrowers' cost of funds with
respect to the Loan or if any Lender defaults in its
obligation to fund loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may
upon five (5) Business Days notice to such Lender, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without payment by
Borrowers of any prepayment fee or premium, all its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if another Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) such transferring Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal amount of its loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest) or Borrowers (in
the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 1.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in
such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation ceases to apply.
1.10 [OMITTED]
1.11 INTEREST LOANS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrowers shall not be
required to pay, and the Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount
of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable
law ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, then in such event: (1) the provisions
of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be
obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that the Lender
may have received hereunder shall be, at the Lender's option, (a) applied as a
credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness or accrued
and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b)
refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the
interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the
"MAXIMUM RATE"), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such
reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against the Lender
for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on
any Indebtedness is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable
rate under this
5
12
Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum
Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Indebtedness shall remain at the
Maximum Rate until the Lender shall have received the amount of interest which
such Lender would have received during such period on the Indebtedness had the
rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
SECTION 2
COLLATERAL
2.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance
of the Indebtedness and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.1,
Project Indebtedness, Borrowers do hereby, subject to the terms of this
Agreement unconditionally and irrevocably assign, pledge and grant to Lender a
first priority continuing security interest and lien in and to the right, title
and interest of Borrowers in the following property of Borrowers with respect
to the Resorts and Additional Resorts, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired regardless of where located (collectively, the
"COLLATERAL"):
(a) All Pledged Receivables;
(b) All Pledged Receivables Collateral;
(c) All Project Loan Collateral;
(d) All "MORTGAGED PROPERTY", as such term is defined in each of
the Resort Blanket Mortgages;
(e) All Club Collateral (except to the extent the assignment,
pledge or granting of a security interest in any Club
Collateral would constitute a default under any license or
lease of any such Club Collateral);
(f) All cash, other monies and property of Borrowers in the
possession or under the control of Lender other than cash and
other monies and property delivered to the Lender in error;
(g) All books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence,
computer tapes, disks and software (subject to licensing
agreements) relating to the Pledged Receivables and Pledged
Receivable Collateral or any other Collateral (except to the
extent the assignment, pledge or granting of a security
interest in any Club Collateral would constitute a default
under any license or lease of any such Club Collateral); and
(h) All proceeds, extensions, amendments, additions,
improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and
replacements of the foregoing.
So long as there is no "MATERIAL PROJECT LOAN DEFAULT" (as the same is defined
on Schedule 2.1 hereto which definition shall be included in the Project Loan
Agreement), the Collateral shall not
6
13
secure the Project Indebtedness and the Lender, upon the Borrowers' written
request, shall release its lien hereunder.
2.2 EXCHANGE MECHANICS. This Agreement contemplates the financing of
Pledged Receivables associated with the Club. The Borrowers anticipate
exchanging certain conditional land sale contracts for notes and Purchase Money
Mortgages to facilitate Obligors joining the Club. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, in no event shall such exchange affect the
Lender's first perfected security interest in a Pledged Receivable. Lender
hereby agrees to cooperate with Borrowers to facilitate the exchange
contemplated in the second sentence of this Section 2.2; provided such exchange
has no negative impact on the Lender's first priority perfected lien and
security interest on the Collateral (I.E. the Lender shall have a first
priority perfected lien and security interest in the new Pledged Receivable
which has been exchanged for the prior Pledged Receivable) and provided further
that the Borrowers pay all of Lender's reasonable costs (including but not
limited to legal expenses) associated with the exchange contemplated in the
second sentence of this Section 2.2.
2.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be deemed a security
agreement as defined in the Code, and the remedies for any violation of the
covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall be
cumulative and be as prescribed (a) herein, or (b) by applicable law, or (c) as
to such part of the Collateral which is also reflected in any filed financing
statement, by the specific provisions of the Code now or hereafter enacted, all
at Lender's sole election.
SECTION 3
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ADVANCES
The obligation of Lender to make Advances is subject to satisfaction
of all of the conditions set forth below (to the extent applicable to the
Pledged Receivables being financed hereby). Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the execution of this

conditions set forth below with respect to any Advance.

applicable law:
(a) ACCELERATION. Declare by written notice to Borrowers, (except
upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 7.5
above, in which case the Indebtedness shall automatically be
accelerated simultaneously with the occurrence of such event)
the unpaid balance of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof,
immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due
and payable.
(b) TERMINATION OF OBLIGATION TO ADVANCE. Terminate by written

this Agreement in its entirety, or any portion of any such
commitment, to the extent Lender shall deem appropriate.
(c) JUDGMENT. Reduce Lender's claim to judgment, foreclose or
otherwise enforce Lender's security interest in all or any
part of the Collateral by any available judicial procedure.
(d) SALE OF COLLATERAL. Exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the
Code applies to the affected Collateral) including (i)
require the Borrowers to, and the Borrowers hereby agree that
they will, at their expense and upon request of Lender
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed
by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both
parties; (ii) enter upon any premises of the Borrowers and
take possession of the Collateral; and (iii) sell the
Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at
any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, at such time or
times, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices and upon such other terms as Lender may
deem commercially reasonable. Borrowers agree that, whether
or not notice of sale shall be required by law, ten (10) days
notice of the time and place of any sale shall constitute
reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if
permitted by law, Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole
or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for
the purchase of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the
account of Lender. Subject to compliance by Lender with all
applicable laws, Borrowers shall remain jointly and severally
liable for any deficiency. Lender shall not be required to
proceed against any Collateral but may proceed against the
Borrowers directly. To the extent permitted by law, the
Borrowers hereby specifically waive all rights of redemption,
stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now
existing or
23
30
hereafter enacted.

or remedies afforded by any applicable laws or by the Loan
Documents as Lender shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity

all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other
moneys due or owing to Borrowers held by Lender hereunder or under any other
financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not.
8.3 WAIVERS. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or
omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Documents
shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Further,
Borrowers waive notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, presentment
and demand for payment, protest, and notice of protest, notice of intention to
accelerate, acceleration and nonpayment, and agree that their liability shall
not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the
Indebtedness, or by any release or change in any security for the payment or
performance of the Indebtedness, regardless of the number of such renewals,
extensions, releases or changes. Borrowers also hereby waive the right to
assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien
created by any of the Loan Documents or to any action brought to enforce the
Note or any other obligation secured by the Loan Documents.
8.4 SET OFF OF PAYMENTS. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the

reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrowers or to any other Person (any
prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and
to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by the Lender or such
holder at any of its offices for the account of Borrowers (regardless of
whether such balances are then due to Borrowers), and (B) other property at any
time held or owing by the Lender or such holder to or
24
31
for the credit or for the account of Borrowers, against and on account of any
of the Indebtedness which are not paid when due other than monies of the
Borrowers received by Lender in error.
8.5 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights and remedies available to Lender
under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to Lender at law or in equity, whether or not the
Indebtedness is due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted
any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.

unencumbered deed to the related Interval to such Obligor. Lender's security
interest in all other Pledged Receivables shall remain in full force and
effect. Lender's obligations under this Section 9.4 shall be unaffected by the
pendency of an Event of Default hereunder.
9.5 NOTICE TO OBLIGOR. After the occurrence of and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers authorize both the Lender and the

Pledged Receivable with regard to the lien of Lender thereon and any other
matter relating thereto.
9.6 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Following the occurrence of and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to (a)
require that all payments due under the Pledged Receivables be paid directly to

checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts
in the name of Borrowers and upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the
money therefor.

and to the property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned
or transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any and all
actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the said property, rights,
titles, interests and liens. Borrowers hereby declare that the appointment made
and the powers granted pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest
and are and shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers in any manner, or for any
reason, unless and until all obligations of the Borrowers to Lender have been
satisfied.

indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, indebtedness, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender, in
any way relating to or arising out of (a) this Agreement and the Loan Documents
and/or (b) any of the transactions contemplated therein or thereby (including
those in any way relating to or arising out of the violation by Borrowers of
any federal or state laws including the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure
Act or any applicable timeshare acts) other than liabilities, indebtedness,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses
and disbursements which are caused by the Lender's material breach of, or gross
negligence or willful misconduct with respect to its actions or inactions under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon receiving knowledge of any
suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Lender believes is covered
by this indemnity, Lender shall give Borrowers notice of the matter and an
opportunity to defend
26
33
it, at Borrowers' sole cost and expense, with legal counsel satisfactory to
Lender. Notwithstanding any defense by Borrowers of any such suit, claim or
demand, Lender shall have the right to participate in any material decision
affecting the conduct or settlement of any dispute or proceeding for which
indemnification may be claimed.
9.9 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PROVIDE FINANCING. Borrowers hereby covenant
with Lender that, from the date hereof until the first to occur of (a) the
Maturity Date, (b) the date on which an event occurs which relieves the
Purchaser from making purchases under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
Purchaser ceases making purchases thereunder, (c) the acceleration of the
Indebtedness following an Event of Default, or (d) the termination of the
Lender's commitment under Section 8.1(b) of this Agreement, Lender shall have,
and Lender is hereby granted, the right and option, subject to the terms set
forth below (the "FUNDING OPTION") to provide secured financing for Eligible
Receivables (which for this purpose shall obligate the Borrowers, as well as
any Affiliate thereof, to disclose to Lender all resorts developed by the
Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof in order to provide Lender the opportunity
to make a determination whether such resort may be an Additional Resort).
Lender shall notify the Borrowers within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of
satisfactory information with respect to a resort whether such resort qualifies
as an Additional Resort.
The Funding Option may be exercised or not exercised in Lender's sole
discretion. If Lender declines to exercise the Funding Option, Lender shall
have no further Funding Option with respect to the Receivables; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, Lender shall have no Funding Option with respect to (i) Receivables

in accordance with the preceding paragraph or (iii) Receivables associated with
the Club after the date on which Lender has reviewed and rejected the Club and
associated Receivables. Lender's decision to decline to exercise the Funding
Option shall be deemed to be a decision to decline to exercise the Purchase
Option (as defined in the Purchase Facility) under the Purchase Facility.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly
agreed and understood that any financing to be extended pursuant to the Funding
Option shall be subject to approval by Lender's loan committees in accordance
with Lender's standard credit guidelines and it is further expressly understood
and agreed that Lender is under no obligation to exercise the Funding Option

such obligation.
