Agent’s approval on behalf of Lenders of the inclusion of Lots and/or Homes as
Eligible Property under the Master Line may result at any given time in total
Lots and Homes included as Eligible Property having maximum aggregate
Allocations in excess of the Commitment Amount, such approval by Agent on behalf
of Lenders shall not be deemed or construed as an increase in the Commitment
Amount and/or the Borrowing Availability in excess of the current then-current
maximum sum.
2.2.2 Borrower
shall not be entitled to request, nor shall Lender be required to make, an
Advance if the making of such Advance would result in the
Outstanding Loan Borrowings under the Master Line to be in excess of the lesser
of the Commitment Amount or the Borrowing Availability. If, upon the
funding of a Letter of Credit Advance, the sum of the Outstanding Loan
Borrowings plus the Letter of Credit Advance exceeds the lesser of (i) the
Commitment Amount or (ii) the Borrowing Availability, Borrower will be required
to pay the amount of such excess on or before five (5) days after written notice
from Agent to Borrower.

2.3 Agreement
to Lend and Borrow; Ratable
Loans. Subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions contained in this Agreement and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties set forth herein, each of Lenders severally
(and
not jointly) agrees to lend to Borrower an amount not to exceed such Lender’s
Commitment. Each Advance under the Master Line hereunder shall
consist of Advances made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to
their
respective Commitment Percentages.
2.4 Commitment
and Agency Fees. Borrower shall pay the applicable
Commitment Fee to Agent on the date hereof and on each Closing Date as each
Project is entered into the Master Line as provided herein. In
addition, Borrower shall pay the applicable Agency Fees to Agent as provided
in
the Fee Letter. All such Commitment and Agency Fees are deemed fully
earned and nonrefundable when paid.
2.5 Determination
of Eligible Property. Eligible Property will be
determined by Agent from time to time as set forth in Sections
2.6-2.7. The Eligible Property
will consist of Lots and Homes which are available for calculation of the
Borrowing Availability under the Master Line, as determined from time to time
in
accordance with this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in
this
Section 2.5.
2.6 Lot
Term Limitations. Lots shall be included in the Eligible
Property for the periods set forth in Section 5.1.1 below.

2.9.1 Maximum
Outstanding. Anything in the Loan Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, the total Outstanding Loan Borrowings shall not at
any
time exceed the lesser of the Commitment Amount or the Borrowing
Availability.
2.9.2 No
Advances. Borrower shall not be entitled to any Advances
if the effect thereof would be to cause the test in Section 2.9.1 to be
violated.
2.9.3 Payments. If
for any reason (a) a payment is required in order to comply with the provisions
of Section(s) 2.9.1 and/or 2.9.2 above, or (b) at any time the Outstanding
Loan
Borrowings exceed the Borrowing Availability (including, without limitation,
by
reason of Commitment Amount reductions, exclusion of Eligible Property,
adjustments to the Eligible Property or Borrowing Availability Value, or
otherwise), Borrower shall be obligated to make a payment equal to the amount
of
such excess (“Remargining Payment”).
2.9.4 Repayment
During the Term-Out Period. During the Term-Out Period,
Borrower shall make quarterly payments to reduce the Outstanding Loan Borrowings
in an amount equal to one-fourth (1/4th) of the
then-outstanding principal balance of the Master Line as of the Master Line
Termination Date (“Required Principal Payment”), which
quarterly Required Principal Payments shall be due and payable during the
Term-Out Period on October 1, January 1, April 1 and the Master Line Maturity
Date. During the Term-Out Period, the maximum Commitment Amount shall
be reduced by twenty-five percent (25%) of the full sum of the Commitment Amount
upon the payment by Borrower of each Required Principal Payment.
Page
- 21
2.10 Adjustment
to Eligible Property. Any Lot or Home deemed ineligible
to be Eligible Property after inclusion as Eligible Property, and the Borrowing
Availability Value of such ineligible Lot or Home shall be immediately and
automatically eliminated from the calculation of the Borrowing
Availability.
3. THE
MASTER LINE.
3.1 Master
Line Commitment. Lenders severally, but
not jointly, hereby agree to make Advances under the Master Line in accordance
with their respective Commitments to Borrower under one (1) or more Advances
up
to, but not in excess of, the Commitment Amount, and Borrower hereby agrees
to
borrow such sums from Lenders, all upon and subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, such sums
to
be evidenced by the Note and any Project Loan Sheet executed in connection
with
any Approved Subdivision financed hereunder.
3.1.1 Non-Receipt
of Funds by Agent. Unless any Lender notifies Agent
prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make any payment required under
the Loan Documents to Agent of the proceeds of the Master Line that it does
not
intend to make such payment, Agent may assume that such payment has been
made. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of
such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such
assumption. If such Lender, as the case may be, has not in fact made
such payment to Agent, the Borrower shall, on demand by Agent, repay to Agent
the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal
to
the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three (3) days
and,
thereafter, the Interest Rate applicable to the Master Line.
3.1.2 Lending
Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances under
the Master Line at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may
change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this
Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Advances made
by
each Lender hereunder, and any Note issued to each Lender hereunder, shall
be
deemed held by such Lender for the benefit of any such Lending
Installation. The initial Lending Installation of each Lender shall
be the Lending Installation listed on the signature pages hereof or on the
applicable assignment and assumption agreement. Each Lender may, by
written notice to Agent and Borrower, designate replacement or additional
Lending Installations through which Advances under the Master Line will be
made
by it and for whose account payments are to be made.
3.1.3 Alternate
Lending Installations. To the extent reasonably
possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with
respect to its Advances under the Master Line to reduce any liability of
Borrower to such Lender under the Note, so long as such designation is not,
in
the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such
Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender
to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under the
Note. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest
error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by
Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower
under this Section shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination
of
this Agreement.

- 22
3.1.4 Affected
Lender. If Borrower is required pursuant to the Note to
make any additional payment to any Lender (any such Lender being called an
“Affected Lender”), Borrower may elect, if such amounts
continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such
Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that:
(A) No
Event of Default (or no event which, upon the giving of notice or the lapse
of
time, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default) shall have occurred and
be
continuing at the time of such replacement; and
(B) Concurrently
with such replacement --
(i) Another
bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and Agent
shall agree, as of such date, to (A) purchase for cash the Advances and other
Obligations due to Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement and the Co-Lending Agreement, (B) become a Lender for all purposes
under this Agreement,
(C) assume all of the obligations of Affected Lender under this Agreement as
of
such date, and (D) comply with the requirements of this Agreement applicable
to
assignments, and
(ii) Borrower
shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such
replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid
to
such Affected Lender by Borrower hereunder to and including the date of
replacement, including payments due to such Affected Lender under the Note
(excluding any payment received by such Affected Lender under subsection
(B)(i)(A) above), and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would
have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under the Note
had
the Advances of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than
sold
to the replacement Lender (excluding any payment received by such Affected
Lender under subsection (B)(i)(A) above).
3.2 Master
Line is a Revolving Line of Credit.
3.2.1 The
Master Line shall constitute a revolving line of credit. From the
date of this Agreement through the Master Line Maturity Date, each Lender will
make Advances to Borrower under the Master Line from time to time on any
Business Day in such amounts as Borrower may request up to the maximum amount
which may be outstanding at any time as hereinafter stated, and the Master
Line
may be drawn, repaid and drawn again through individual Advances in repetition,
subject to the limitations herein.
3.2.2 Upon
the Master Line Termination Date, no new Lots and/or Homes will be included
within Eligible Property. All sums due and owing under the Master
Line shall be paid in full on or prior to the Master Line Maturity
Date.
3.2.3 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at no time shall Agent
be
permitted to include Lots and/or Homes as Eligible Property which would result
in the sum of the A&D Lot Sub-limit and the aggregate Home Loan Allocations
for all said Lots and Homes, as applicable, entered as Eligible Property at
any
one time to exceed the then-maximum Commitment Amount.
3.3 Interest. Borrower's
liability for repayment of the interest on the Advances under the Master Line
shall be limited to and calculated with respect to the proceeds of the Master
Line actually disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and only from
the date or dates of such Advances under the Master Line.
Page
- 23
3.4 Purpose
of Master Line Advances. Borrower shall
use the Advances under the Master Line only for the purposes set forth in the
A&D Budget and Construction Costs Schedule, as applicable.
3.5 Limitation
on Master Line Advances. No Advance
(whether interim or final) under the Master Line shall be made unless all
conditions precedent to such Advance have been satisfied. Borrower
shall be limited to two (2) Advances under the Master Line per Calendar Month;
provided, however, that Agent may, in its sole discretion, but without any
obligation to do so, allow more than two (2) Advances under the Master Line
in
any Calendar Month.
3.6 Commitment
Fees. On each A&D Lot Eligibility
Date for Lots in a Project included hereunder, Borrower agrees to pay the
applicable Commitment Fees with respect to said Lots. Likewise, on
each Home Eligibility Date for Lots and Homes in a Project to be included
hereunder, Borrower agrees to pay the applicable Commitment Fees
with
respect to said Lots and Homes (less any Commitment Fees already paid for said
Lots upon the inclusion of such Lots in the Eligible Property). All
said fees shall be fully earned and non–refundable regardless of whether the
full sum of the Master Line is disbursed with respect to said Lots and/or Homes
or the outstanding sum of all Advances under the Master Line with respect to
said Lots and/or Homes are paid prior to the applicable A&D Lot Maturity
Date(s) and/or Home Initial Due Date(s), as applicable.
3.7 Timing
of Master Line Advances. Borrower may
request Interim Advances under the Master Line during any given Calendar Month
by submitting to Agent one (1) or more Draw Request Forms at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the date each such Advance is requested to be
funded. Agent shall not be required to fund any Interim Advance
sooner than five (5) days after the last Advance under the Master Line has
been
disbursed. No Advances shall be made under the Master Line after the
Master Line Maturity Date. Each Draw Request Form shall be made at
the office of Agent. No Advance under the Master Line shall be made
unless all conditions precedent to such Advance have been
satisfied.
3.8 Voluntary
Prepayments. Borrower may at its option
prepay the principal amount of the Master Line outstanding thereunder at any
time in whole or from time to time in part without premium or penalty. Upon
any
voluntary prepayment of the principal amount of the Master Line or any portion
thereof, accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of
prepayment shall be paid concurrent with such principal prepayment.
3.9 Partial
Release.
3.9.1 Payments
as the Result of Lot Sales; No Release From Deed of
Trust. Except as provided below for
Lots being included as Eligible Property for the construction of Homes thereon,
upon the close of escrow of the sale of Lot(s) to a Non-Related Party, Agent
agrees (provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) to release individual Lots from the Lien of the Deed of Trust upon
payment by Borrower to Agent of the Partial A&D Release Price and all other
amounts due under this and other any agreements between the parties. Upon the
close of escrow of the sale of Lots to a Non-Related Party and payment by
Borrower of the Partial A&D Release Price and any additional sums as
provided in this Section 3.9.1, Agent will prepare and execute a partial
release of said Lien and a UCC–3 partial release (if applicable) in the form
required by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, there shall not be any partial releases
of Lots from the Deed of Trust upon payment of the Partial A&D Release Price
for said Lot (a) if the Lot is to be included as Eligible Property for the
construction of a Home, and (b) until the completed Home and the associated
Lot are sold to a Non–Related Party pursuant to an Approved Sales
Contract.
Page
- 24
3.9.2 Payments
as the Result of Home Sales. Provided that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Master
Line, Agent agrees to release individual Lots and the Homes from the Deed
of
Trust upon the close of escrow of the sale of a completed Home to a Non-Related
Party pursuant to an Approved Sales Contract and payment by Borrower to Agent
of
the Home Release Price and all other amounts due under this Agreement. Upon
payment by Borrower of the Home Release Price and any additional sums as
provided in the Loan Documents, Agent will prepare and execute a partial
release
of Lien under the Deed of Trust and a UCC–3 partial release (if applicable) in
the form required by Agent.
3.9.3 Partial
Release Expenses. Borrower shall pay
all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Agent arising in connection
with
any partial release of any Lot and Home from
the
Lien of the Deed of Trust, including (but not limited to) the reasonable
legal
fees of Agent's counsel, all title insurance premiums arising as a result
of
endorsements reasonably required by Agent in connection with such partial
release and all other costs reasonably incurred by Agent in connection with
the
execution and delivery of the partial release of said Lot.
3.9.4 Acceptance
of Reconveyance. If Agent accepts any
payment or issues any partial reconveyance, it shall not affect Borrower's
obligation to repay all amounts which are owing under the Loan Documents or
any
portion of the Property secured by the Deed of Trust which is not
reconveyed. If Agent does not require satisfaction of all of the
conditions described above before releasing one or more Lots, that alone shall
not be a waiver of such conditions, and Agent reserves the right to require
their satisfaction in full before releasing any further Lots from the Deed
of
Trust or before making any further Advances under the Master Line.
3.9.5 Application
of Release Prices. All sums so paid for
reconveyances under the Master Line shall be applied to principal next due
under
the Master Line. To the extent mandatory or voluntary payments are
made to reduce the amount of indebtedness represented by the Note, and no
partial reconveyance is requested hereunder at the time of such payments, the
amount of such payments shall not constitute a credit to Borrower against the
Release Price specified herein, for future reconveyances should requests
therefor be made.
3.9.6 No
Interference With Ingress/Egress. No
portion of any Property shall be released from the Deed of Trust which will
prevent the means of ingress and egress to the portions of said Property not
yet
released unless there is provided an easement for access to the unreleased
property or the property to be released contains streets or roads dedicated
to
the public use which would allow access to the portions of said Property not
yet
released.
3.9.7 Adjustment
to Borrowing Base. Any Lot and/or Home
released shall no longer be Eligible Property and the Collateral Value of
Eligible Property shall be immediately and automatically adjusted to reflect
such release. Even though an item of Collateral is not included as
Eligible Property, all conditions precedent to release will continue to apply
(including payment of any required sale proceeds and release
prices). Collateral not eligible to be released pursuant to this
Section 3.9 will be released only in the sole and absolute discretion of
Agent and only upon such terms and conditions and for payment of a release
price
as is determined from time to time by Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion.
3.10 General
Provisions for the Sale of Homes.
Page
- 25
3.10.1 Sale
Requirements. For purposes of this
Agreement, a sale of a Home is considered to occur only if an Approved Sales
Contract is executed which meets the requirements of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a sale is considered to
close, or close of escrow occurs, only when title to the Home passes to the
buyer and Borrower receives full payment in cash of all Net Sale Proceeds of
the
sale. Borrower may enter into sales of Homes in the ordinary course
of business with bona fide third–party buyers without Agent's prior written
consent if an Approved Sales Contract which conforms to the requirements of
this
Agreement is executed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Agent shall have no obligation to release any Lot
and
Home from the Lien of the Deed of Trust unless and until Borrower is in
compliance with the sale requirements set forth in this Section 3.10.1 in
connection with the sale and release of said Lot and Home.
3.10.2 Default. If
a Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may make written demand on
Borrower to submit all future Approved Sales Contracts together in each instance
with all accompanying financial statements and other information that Borrower
may have pertaining
to the prospective buyer for Agent's approval prior to
execution. Borrower shall immediately comply with any such demand by
Agent so long as such Default is continuing.
3.10.3 Buyer
Financing. Borrower acknowledges that
neither Agent nor any Lenders have, by this Agreement, committed to provide
any
financing to or for any buyers of any individual Lots and/or Homes.
3.10.4 No
Release of Model Homes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Model Homes (and any adjoining Lots used as the parking
area
for the Model Homes complex) shall not be eligible for partial release under
the
Deed of Trust as long as said Model Homes are being used for marketing the
remaining Spec Homes in the Approved Subdivision or if, in Agent's judgment,
said Model Homes and parking area are reasonably necessary for marketing the
remaining Spec Homes.
3.11 Swingline
Advances.
3.11.1 Swingline
Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make
Swingline Advances to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during
the
period from the date hereof until the date ten (10) Business Days prior to
the
Master Line Maturity Date, and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow such sums under
said Swingline from Swingline Lender, subject to the terms and provisions of
this Agreement and the Loan Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall
(i)
the Swingline Exposure exceed the Swingline Commitment, or (ii) the Swingline
Lender make a Swingline Advance that would cause the outstanding amount of
its
Note to exceed its Commitment.
3.11.2 Swingline
Advance Disbursement. Swingline Lender shall not be
obligated to make any disbursements under the Swingline but may, in its sole
and
absolute discretion, make Swingline Advances in the event that Borrower has
submitted a Draw Request Form to Agent under the Master Line, and Agent requests
that Swingline Lender fund the amounts set forth in the Draw Request Form as
a
Swingline Advance prior to receipt of each Commitment Percentage of the amount
set forth in said Draw Request Form. Each Swingline Advance shall be
an advance under the Master Line. Upon receipt of each Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the amounts set forth in the Draw Request Form, Agent
will forward such amounts to Swingline Lender by promptly crediting or otherwise
transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to Swingline Lender for
the
purpose of repaying the Swingline Advance. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Advance
if
any Lender shall be a Delinquent Lender.
3.11.3 Swingline
Advance Evidenced by the Note; Interest and Repayment
. Each Swingline Advance shall be an advance under the
Master Line. Each Swingline Advance shall be evidenced by the Note held by
Swingline Lender and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust. Each

payable as provided in the Note. All principal due and owing under
each Swingline Advance shall be paid in full on or before the applicable
Swingline Advance Maturity Date for said Swingline Advance.

of this Agreement and each Letter of Credit Request, and subject to the
policies, procedures, and
requirements of Letter of Credit Provider in effect from time to time for the

of credit fees), Letter of Credit Provider, acting for and on behalf of all
Lenders, shall issue on or before the Master Line Termination Date one (1)
or
more Letter(s) of Credit upon request by and for the account of the Borrower,
provided that Borrower has delivered to Agent and Letter of Credit

and
provided further that (i) the Letter of Credit shall not be required to be

for
an amount in excess of the Letter of Credit Line, (iii) the amount of the Letter

of Credit Line, and (iv) in any event, the date that is the last date for
payment of a draft drawn under the Letter of Credit shall be before ten (10)
days prior to the Master Line Maturity Date.
4.3 Issuance
Procedure. To obtain a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall complete
and execute a Letter of Credit Request and submit it to the letter of credit
department of Letter of Credit Provider. Upon receipt of a completed
and executed Letter of Credit Request, Letter of Credit Provider will process
the application in accordance with the policies, procedures, and requirements
of
Letter of Credit Provider then in effect (including without limitation the
policies, procedures and requirements applicable to the form of the Letter
of
Credit). If the application meets the requirements of Letter of
Credit Provider and is within the policies of Letter of Credit Provider then

issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable
under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and for any Letter of Credit
Advances and/or Letter of Credit Loans ratably in accordance with each Lender’s
respective Commitment Percentage.
4.4 Purpose
of Letter of Credit; General Letter of Credit Terms and
Conditions.
4.4.1 Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued to provide a good faith deposit in connection
with any Project, support for unfunded Project costs or any other purpose
approved by Letter of Credit Provider, acting for and on behalf of Lenders,
in
connection with the acquisition and/or development and marketing of a
Project. Upon occurrence of an Event of Default and so long such
Event of Default continues, Letter of Credit Provider, in its sole and absolute
discretion and without notice, may refuse to renew or extend the commitment
to
issue the Letter of Credit, and may exercise any and all remedies provided
for
in the Loan Documents, including without limitation advancing the full sum
of
any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit into an account held by Agent,
which
funds shall be Letter of Credit Advances hereunder and which funds shall be
held
by Agent in said account unless and until a draw is made by the beneficiary
of
any such Letter of Credit.
Page
- 27
4.4.2 The
Letter of Credit shall be drawn under the conditions set forth in each Letter
of
Credit issued hereunder.
4.5 Reimbursement
of Lenders for Payment of Drafts Drawn Under the Letter of
Credit. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lenders
for payment by Lenders, based on their respective Commitment Percentages of
all
of Letter of Credit Advances under the Letters of Credit shall be as provided
in
the Letter of Credit Request and
in
this Agreement. Agent, acting for and on behalf of Letter of Credit
Provider and Lenders, will notify Borrower of payment by Lenders of a Letter
of
Credit Advance under the Letter of Credit and of the respective Reimbursement
Obligations and will give Borrower five (5) Business Days notice that the
Reimbursement Obligations shall be due and payable in full. If
Borrower does not pay any such Reimbursement Obligations with said five (5)
Business Day period, then said obligations shall convert to a Letter of Credit
Loan payable on the applicable Letter of Credit Loan Maturity
Date. Borrower shall also pay to Lender interest at the Interest Rate
on the Letter of Credit Loans from and including the date Lender pays the Letter
of Credit Advance at the Interest Rate until said Letter of Credit Loans and
such interest are paid in full. A Letter of Credit Advance shall be
made to repay Lender for any funds disbursed in connection with a draft drawn
under any Letter of Credit, at which time said Advance shall be used to
calculate the Borrowing Availability or, if said advance shall result in the
Borrowing Availability having a negative balance, then Borrower shall make
any
Remargining Payment required hereunder.
4.6 Reimbursement
Obligations. Borrower’s obligations under this Article 4
and the Letter of Credit Request to reimburse Lender with respect to a drawing
under a Letter of Credit (such obligations are collectively referred to as
the
“Reimbursement Obligations”) are absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim,
or
defense to payment which Borrower may have or have had against Lenders or any
beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, including any defense based upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, any draft, demand, certificate or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient, the failure of any payment by Letter of Credit Provider
to conform to the terms of said Letter of Credit (if, in Letter of Credit
Provider’s good faith opinion, such payment is determined to be appropriate) or
any nonapplication or misapplication of the Letter of Credit or the
proceeds of such payment, or the legality, validity, form, regularity or
enforceability of the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that nothing herein
will adversely affect the right of Borrower to commence a proceeding against
Letter of Credit Provider for any wrongful payment under the Letter of Credit
made by Letter of Credit Provider as the result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Letter of
Credit Provider.
4.7 Nature
of Reimbursement Obligations. Borrower assumes all risks
of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by any Person to
whom
a Letter of Credit is issued. Letter of Credit Provider (except to
the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) will not be
responsible for: (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or
legal effect of the Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party
in
connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or any drawing(s)
thereunder, even if such document or drawing should in fact prove to be in
any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (b)
the
form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(c) failure of any Person to comply fully with the conditions required in order
to demand payment under the Letter of Credit; (d) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; or (e) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from any
Person in order to make a disbursement under the Letter of Credit or the
proceeds thereof. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or
prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Letter of Credit
Provider. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or
derogation of any
of
the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in good faith
will
be binding on Borrower and, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct,
will not put Letter of Credit Provider under any resulting liability to
Borrower.

- 28
4.8 Annual
Fees. On each twelve-month anniversary of the date of
the issuance of any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on such anniversary
date, Borrower shall pay to Agent the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to
such
Letter of Credit.
5. DETERMINATION
OF ELIGIBLE COLLATERAL.
5.1 Determination
of Eligible Property. Eligible Property will be
determined by Lender from time to time as set forth in this Section
5.1. The Eligible Property will consist of Lots and Homes which are
available for calculation of the Borrowing Availability, as determined from
time
to time in accordance with this Agreement and subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 5.1. Lots and Homes which are encumbered by a
Deed of Trust hereunder, but which cease to be included as Eligible Property
prior to the sale of any such Lot or Home, shall remain as Collateral and shall
not be released from the lien of said Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at no time shall Agent
be
permitted to include Lots and/or Homes as Eligible Property which would result
in the sum of the A&D Lot Sub-limit and the aggregate Home Loan Allocations
for all said Lots and Homes, as applicable, entered as Eligible Property at
any

Line;
Page
- 35
(b) if
any mechanic's lien or other claims are filed against any portion of the
Property included as Eligible Property (regardless of whether any portion
thereof has been released from the lien of the Deed of Trust), which lien or
claim has not been bonded as provided in Section 9.26 of this
Agreement;
(c) Borrower

Loan Documents (the deficiencies described in clauses (a) through (e) of this

then,
at

partial release of any portion of the Property, and in addition to the payment
to Agent of the applicable Release Price, that Borrower pay to Agent either:
(A) an amount in cash equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the
Lot(s) and/or Home(s) being released in the Project minus such Release Price
and
such reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale as
are
approved by Agent in its sole discretion, or (B) such greater amount as
Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary to
pay
any such lien and such Trailing Construction Costs. Any excess
amounts paid to Agent over and above the applicable Release Price may be used

in payment of any charge, claim, lien or expense related to any Lot or Home

hereby agrees that if Agent determines that a Loan Deficiency exists, Borrower
shall, upon ten (10) Business Days' written notice from Agent,
either:
(a) deposit
with Agent pursuant to Section 6.3 below the amount that Agent, in its

amounts deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be
disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the payment of

by reallocating between
specific Allocations, and Agent may also review the amount of any holdback
before requesting that any sum be paid by Borrower under this

(d) the
undisbursed proceeds of the Master Line, as applicable, are insufficient to
meet
the costs of completing construction of any Improvements under the Project
financed by said Master Line, or
(e) Borrower
has failed or is unable to pay the costs of insurance, ad valorem taxes
and other normal costs of the Project,
Agent
may
refuse to make any additional Advances to Borrower until Borrower shall have
deposited with Agent sufficient additional funds ("Borrower's
Deposit") to cover the deficiency which Agent deems to exist in
connection with said Master Line. Such Borrower's Deposit will be
disbursed by Agent to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof
as if
they constituted a portion of the Master Line being made
hereunder. Borrower agrees upon ten (10) days' written demand by
Agent to deposit with Agent such Borrower's Deposit. Unless required
by Governmental Requirements, Agent shall not be required to pay interest on
Borrower's Deposit.

7.3.12
All personal property not yet incorporated into the Improvements for the
Project, but which is to be paid for out of such Advance, must then be located
upon the Land for said Project, secured in a method acceptable to Agent, and
Agent shall have received evidence thereof.
7.3.13 Borrower
shall have complied with all requirements of the Inspecting Person and all
Governmental Authorities for the Project, and Agent shall have received (in
form
and content satisfactory to Agent) an inspection report prepared by the
Inspecting Person with respect to the requested Advance.
7.3.14 Prior
to any initial Advance for any Lot included in the Eligible Property, each
such
Lot shall have been pre-sold under an Approved Sales Contract.
7.4 Disbursement
by Journal Entry or Direct Payment to Third
Parties. Agent and Lenders may, in
Agent's discretion, upon the occurrence of a Default, or an Event of Default,
disburse Master Line proceeds by journal entry to pay interest and financing
costs for the Master Line and to pay any other amounts payable by Borrower
to
Agent (including any Partial A&D Release Price that is payable upon the
conversion of a Lot to a Home) or for any other purpose set out in the
applicable Budget, and Agent may disburse Master Line proceeds directly to
third
parties to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower in connection
with the construction of Improvements financed under the applicable loan or
for
any other purpose set forth in the applicable Budget. Master Line
proceeds disbursed by Agent by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs,
and Master Line proceeds disbursed directly by Agent to third parties to pay
costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower shall constitute Advances
to
Borrower.
7.5 Advance
Not An Approval. The making of any
Advance or part thereof under the Master Line shall not be deemed an approval
or
acceptance by Agent of the work theretofore done for the
Project. Agent shall have no obligation to make any Advance or part
thereof under the Master Line after the happening of any Event of Default,
but
shall have the right and option so to do; provided, however, that if Agent
elects to make any such Advance, no such Advance shall be deemed to be either
a
waiver of the right to demand payment of the Master Line, or any part thereof,
or an obligation to make any other Advance under the Master Line.
7.6 Time
and Place of Advances. Except as set
forth in this Agreement, all Advances under the Master Line are to be made
by
direct deposit into the Special Account. In the event Borrower shall
part with or be in any manner whatever deprived of Borrower's interests in
and
to the Land made hereunder, Agent may, at Agent's option but without any
obligation to do so, continue to make Advances under the Master Line, and
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, to such person
or persons as may succeed to Borrower's title and interest and all sums so
disbursed shall be deemed Advances under the Master Line and secured by the
Deed
of Trust and all other liens or security interests securing the Master
Line.
7.7 Business
Days. If the date for any payment or
prepayment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then for all
purposes of the Note and this Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen
on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of payments of interest.

7.8 No
Third–Party Beneficiaries. The benefits
of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement
be construed to make or render Agent or Lenders liable to any materialmen,
subcontractors, contractors, laborers or others for goods and materials supplied
or work and labor furnished in connection with the construction of any
Improvements for the Project or for debts or claims accruing to any such
persons
or entities against Borrower. Agent or Lenders shall not be liable
for the manner in which any Advances under the Master Line may be applied
by
Borrower, any Contractor
and any of Borrower's other contractors or
subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan
Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before
or
after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as
creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Agent or Lenders,
or any
of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor,
subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective
creditors, or any other person or entity other than Borrower. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any contractor,
subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials, pursuant to any requests
for
Advances, whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrower,
shall not be deemed a recognition by Agent or Lenders of a third–party
beneficiary status of any such person or entity.
7.9 Reallocations
of Budget Line Items. All changes in
the Allocations in any Budget, as applicable, are subject to the limitations
set
forth in the Project Disbursement Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit
“D”.
7.9.1 Reallocation
Among Budget Line Items. Agent reserves
the right, at its option, to disburse Advances requested for any of the
Allocations in the applicable Budget for such other purposes, or in such
different proportions, relating to the Project as Agent may deem necessary
or
advisable. Borrower shall not be entitled to require that Agent
reallocate funds among the Allocations in any Budget.
7.9.2 Reallocation
of Contingency Funds. Any amount
allocated in any Budget for "contingencies" or other non–specific purposes may,
in Agent's discretion, be disbursed by Agent to pay future contingent costs
and
expenses as Agent shall approve. Under no circumstances shall
Borrower have the right to require Agent to disburse any amounts so
allocated. Agent may impose such requirements and conditions as it
deems prudent and necessary should it elect to disburse all or any portion
of
the amounts so allocated.
7.10 Withholding. Agent
may (a) withhold from any Advance, or (b) on account of subsequently
discovered evidence, withhold from a later Advance, or (c) require Borrower
to repay to Agent the whole or any part of any earlier Advance such sum as
may
be necessary to protect Agent from loss on account of (i) defective work
not remedied or requirements of this Agreement not performed, (ii) liens
filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of liens,
(iii) failure of Borrower to make payments to subcontractors for material
or labor, or (iv) a reasonable doubt that the construction can be completed
or the purpose of each Allocation set forth in the applicable Budget can be
accomplished from the balance of the Master Line then
undisbursed. When all such grounds are removed, payment shall be made
of any amount so withheld because of them.
7.11 Inspections. Borrower
shall submit to Agent a Draw Request Form when funding is requested under the
Master Line. Agent will inspect the Improvements for which a Draw
Request Form has been received for purposes of evaluating the status of
construction and expenses incurred, of determining whether work has been
performed in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications and the
Loan Documents, and of determining that construction and expenses are
progressing within the applicable Budget. Based upon the inspection
by Agent and Agent's evaluation, Agent shall, subject to satisfaction of all
conditions precedent with respect thereto, fund said Draw Request Form for
the
Improvements financed under the applicable Project for which a Draw Request
Form
has been received.

Priority. In addition to any and all
rights of Agent and obligations of Borrower hereunder, Borrower acknowledges
and
agrees that:
7.12.1 All
Master Line proceeds to be disbursed for the construction of the Improvements
shall be applied solely for the payment of claims of lien claimants, and
Borrower shall have no right to be paid any Master Line proceeds to be applied
for any other use or purpose unless and until Borrower has provided Agent with
evidence satisfactory to Agent in its reasonable discretion that all such claims
have been paid in full or that the time for the recording of such claims has
expired with no liens pursuant to such claims having been recorded;
and
7.12.2 Agent
shall be permitted to take any actions or require Borrower to comply with any
requirements reasonably determined by Agent to be necessary to protect the
first-lien priority of the Deed of Trust, including without
limitation:
(a) disbursing
Master Line proceeds directly to Contractor and/or any
subcontractors;
(b) requiring
lien waivers from all lien claimants who have performed work, provided services
or furnished labor, equipment or materials in connection with the construction
of the Improvements as a condition to disbursing any Advances to or for the
benefit of any said party; and/or
(c) instituting
additional disbursement controls to make certain that loan funds are disbursed
in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

any
Person whereby Borrower shall sell or transfer any Property, whether now owned

(which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable)
Agent as Borrower's true and lawful attorney–in–fact, with full power of
substitution to complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower, and hereby
empowers Agent, acting as Borrower's attorney–in–fact, as follows:
Page
- 53

any Borrower's Deposit and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder,
for
the purpose of completing the Improvements in the manner called for by the

assure completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall pay to Agent all amounts
advanced by Agent or honored by Agent under such letters of credit, together
with interest on such amount at the rates provided in the Note, when requested

of Set–Off. Upon the failure of
Borrower to make full and timely payment of the interest on the Advances under
the Master Line and/or any fees specified herein or in the Deed of Trust, Agent
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to
Borrower (such notice being expressly waived by Borrower notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary stated in any of the Loan Documents), to make an
Advance under the Master Line made pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of
Borrower or adjust the amount of or withhold or apply all or any portion of
any
Advance under the Master Line to accomplish the payment of the amount then
due. Agent agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set–off, Advance, adjustment or application under the Master Line, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set–off,
Advance, adjustment or application under the Master Line. If Agent
elects to make such an Advance for the purposes of paying interest on the Master
Line or any other amount then payable hereunder, such Advance may be made out
of
any applicable Budget category elected by Agent in its sole discretion, or
out
of the portion of the Master Line that has been allocated to any Lot or Home,
as
Agent may elect. The rights of Agent under this section are in
addition to all other rights and remedies which Agent may have, including but
not limited to the right to require Borrower to make a Borrower's Deposit or
to
repay the amount of any such Advance made by Agent.
11. AGENT'S
DISCLAIMERS.
11.1 No
Obligation by Agent To Construct. Agent
has no liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the
Project financed by the Master Line made hereunder or the development,
construction or completion thereof or work performed thereon, and has no
obligation except to disburse the Master Line proceeds for said Project as
herein agreed. Neither Agent nor Lenders are obligated to inspect the
Improvements for the Project, nor are Agent or Lenders liable, and under no
circumstances whatsoever shall Agent or Lender be or become liable, for the
performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or for any failure
to
construct, complete, protect or insure that said Project, or any part thereof,
or for the payment of any cost or expense
incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or nonperformance
of
any obligation of Borrower to Agent or Lenders nor to any other person, firm
or
entity without limitation. Nothing, including without limitation any
disbursement of proceeds of the Master Line made hereunder or Borrower's Deposit
nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as such a
representation or warranty, express or implied, on Agent or a Lender's
part.
11.2 No
Obligation by Agent To Operate. Any
term or condition of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither Agent nor Lenders shall have, and by their execution and acceptance
of
this Agreement they hereby expressly disclaim, any obligation or responsibility
for the management, conduct or operation of the business and affairs of
Borrower. Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits
Agent and/or Lenders to disburse funds under the Master Line made hereunder,
whether from the proceeds of the Master Line, Borrower's Deposit or otherwise,
or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to Borrower, any
Project or any other collateral for repayment of the Master Line, shall be
deemed to be solely to permit Agent and/or Lenders to audit and review the
management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower,
and
to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Agent and Lenders
for
the Master Line, and may not be relied upon by any other
person. Further, neither Agent nor Lenders shall have assumed and by
their execution and acceptance of this Agreement they hereby expressly disclaim
any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any
indebtedness or obligation of Borrower and no term or condition of the Loan
Documents, shall be construed otherwise. Borrower hereby expressly
acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents shall be construed
so as to deem the relationship between Borrower, Agent and Lenders to be other
than that of borrower, guarantor, agent and lender, and Borrower shall at all
times represent that the relationship between Borrower, Agent and Lenders is
solely that of borrower, guarantor, agent and lender.
Page
- 55
11.3 No
Agency. Nothing herein shall be
construed as making or constituting Agent or Lenders as the agent of Borrower
in
making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or subcontracts entered
into by Borrower for construction of any Improvements in connection with any
Project financed by the Master Line made hereunder or otherwise. The
purpose of all requirements of Agent hereunder is solely to allow Agent to
check
and require documentation (including, but not limited to, lien waivers)
sufficient to protect Agent and Lenders and the Master Line contemplated
hereby. Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures
required by Agent, Borrower hereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole
responsibility for constructing the Improvements for each such Project and
paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely,
on
Borrower's own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor
and each materialman for each such Project, Agent and Lenders having no
responsibility for any such persons or entities or for the quality of their
materials or workmanship.
12. SPECIAL
DEPOSIT. If, at any time Borrower seeks
to obtain a partial release of any of the Property, no unpaid balance of the
Advances then exists but Additional Obligations are then outstanding or all
of
the Advances to be made under said Master Line have not yet been made, then,
notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein or in any other of
the
Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to obtain such partial releases
in
accordance herewith provided any remaining balance of the Net Sales Proceeds
following payment to Agent of the Partial A&D Release Price and/or Release
Price, as applicable, is delivered to Agent as a special deposit
("Special Deposit") to be held by Agent as additional
collateral for the Indebtedness. To the extent of any Advances
thereafter made under the Master Line, Agent may apply any sums held as a
Special Deposit
to reduce the principal balance then outstanding under the Master
Line. Such Special Deposit will be disbursed by Agent to Borrower
pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof as if they constituted a portion
of
the Master Line being made hereunder. Unless required by Governmental
Requirements, Agent shall not be required to pay interest on the Special
Deposit.

the
execution by Borrower and an approved subcontractor of a subcontract for the

amount that is less than the Approved Line Item Cost for that item, any
remaining undisbursed amounts shown in said Budget as allocated to that line
item, or any funds allocated to that line item that exceed the amount of the
subcontract for that line item (collectively "Cost Savings"),
shall be transferable to a line item as to which Agent believes that a cost
overrun exists or may exist; provided, however, that if more than one (1) such

otherwise reallocated pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall be transferable to
Contingency in Agent's reasonable discretion, and shall thereafter be available
for disbursement in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1
above.
