Amount, A&D Land Allocations, A&D Project Allocations, Net A&D Allocations, and payments received and applied to the outstanding Facility, interest accrued, and other matters related to the Facility and the Note, which shall be conclusive evidence of amounts owing thereunder absent manifest error.
          2.2 Interest and Payment Provisions.
               2.2.1 Interest and Payment Provisions. Interest rates and payment provisions shall be as set forth in the Note and as further described in Section 2.2.3.
               2.2.2 A&D Project Interest Reserves. If applicable to a specific A&D Project, that portion of an A&D Land Allocation or an A&D Project Allocation allocated in the Budget for the A&D Land Acquisition or A&D Project set forth in the A&D Land Addendum or A&D Project Addendum, if any, for the payment of interest (the "Interest Reserve") shall be retained by Lender and shall be available for payment of accrued interest due Lender pursuant to that portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Note consisting of A&D Draw Requests for the particular A&D Project. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to advance such proceeds on behalf of Borrower directly to Lender each month to pay such portion of the interest due on the Note, notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested an advance of such amount. Such advance, if made, shall be made by a bookkeeping entry on Lender's records, shall be considered an A&D Draw Request, added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall be deemed paid to and received by Borrower. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make any such advance or prevent Borrower from paying interest from its own funds. Borrower acknowledges that the payment of interest by the method described in this section is for its convenience and benefit. Notwithstanding any term or provision hereof to the contrary, if from time to time Lender reasonably determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the undisbursed portion of the interest reserve established pursuant to the Budget for the A&D Project (the "Undisbursed Reserve Sum") may not be sufficient to defray in its entirety the entire amount of interest allocated to the A&D Project which Lender then anticipates is likely to accrue during the remainder of the time the A&D Draw Request for such A&D Project shall be outstanding (the "Anticipated Interest Sum"), whether as a result of (a) any existing or anticipated increase in the applicable interest rate, (b) any existing or anticipated deviation from sales or income pro-formas or projections, (c) any existing or anticipated increase in cost of development or delay in commencement or completion of development, and/or (d) any other matter Lender deems relevant in assessing the possibility of any interest reserve insufficiency, then Lender may, at its option, elect to (i) make no further advances from the Undisbursed Reserve Sum and require interest payments to be made directly by Borrower, (ii) require Borrower to deposit in an escrow account with Lender or such other escrow agent as Lender may designate, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and content as required by Lender, an amount equal to the difference between the Anticipated Interest Sum and the Undisbursed Reserve Sum, and/or (iii) require Borrower to provide such other and further assurances to Lender as Lender may, in its discretion, reasonably require, it being agreed that Borrower's failure to fully comply with any of Lender's requirements pursuant to this Section 2.2.2 within ten (10) days from the delivery to Borrower of Lender's notice of such requirements shall, without further notice, constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
               2.2.3 Principal Payments. In addition to the interest and principal payment requirements of the Note, Borrower shall make principal payments as needed from time to time in order to ensure that the principal amount outstanding under the Facility at no time exceeds the Maximum Facility Amount, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Draws at no time exceeds the Maximum Available Amount, or any applicable Sub-Limits are exceeded. Further, if there exists Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements such that, after the application of such principal payments, the Collateral Basis Amounts (as further described in SCHEDULE 1) for all Eligible Property Types included in the Maximum Available Amount are insufficient to cover all Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements and the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall make an additional principal payment sufficient to satisfy all Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements, which shall be applied by Lender to the Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements, and to the outstanding Facility and shall further comply with the provisions of Section 2.5 below. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred (and not been waived, in writing, by Lender), principal payments received by Lender shall be applied to the Facility first, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the preceding sentence and then as directed by Borrower. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, which shall not have been waived, in writing, by Lender, Lender may apply such principal receipts in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion.
          2.3 Facility Fees and Costs. Borrower shall pay, either from proceeds of the Facility or from Borrower's own funds, at Lender's discretion, the nonrefundable Facility Fees in the amounts and in the manner specified in SCHEDULE 1. Borrower shall pay, within five (5) business days following Lender's demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to the Facility, including without limitation: title insurance premiums, appraisal fees, recording costs, third-party architect/engineer fees, fees for plan and cost reviews, if any, by third-party consultants, and attorneys' fees.
          2.4 Extension of Expiration Date. Upon each annual anniversary of the date hereof, at the sole discretion and option of Lender, the Expiration Date may be extended in writing for a period of twelve (12) months, subject to Lender's review of the latest annual fiscal year end financial information, and all supplemental current financial statements provided by Borrower to Lender and such other information as Lender may deem material, and on such terms as Lender may require, including payment of any applicable Facility Fee (See Schedule 1 hereto).
          2.5 Letter of Credit. From time to time, upon the request of Borrower, Lender shall issue Letter(s) of Credit to or for the benefit of Borrower or any Project Guarantor; provided, however, that the issuance of each Letter of Credit by Lender shall be subject to the approval of Lender in Lender's sole discretion. Each such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than thirty (30) days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date. In the event that the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus (ii) unadvanced A&D Land Allocations and unadvanced Net A&D Allocations, plus (iii) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued to or for the benefit of Borrower or any Project Guarantor, exceeds the sum of (a) the amount of the Working Capital Line and (b) the Collateral Basis Amounts for all Eligible Property Types included in the Maximum Available Amount after the application of any principal payments required by Section 2.2.3 above, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount of such excess, which shall be deposited into an account established with Lender, which account shall be assigned as additional collateral for the
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
Note. Thereafter, Borrower shall maintain a balance in such account in the amount of such excess, as such excess may increase or decrease over time in conjunction with changes in the Maximum Available Amount and availability under the Working Capital Line.
          2.6 Working Capital Line. Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4 or otherwise in this Agreement, upon Borrower's submission of Working Capital Line Draw Requests, Lender shall disburse Draws under the Working Capital Line without regard to any Collateral Basis Amount, provided that the amount of any such disbursement shall not exceed the limitation set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof. At Borrower's request at any time during the term of the Facility, Borrower may irrevocably elect, by written notice to Lender, to terminate the Working Capital Line. Effective upon receipt of any such termination notice, Lender's obligation to disburse any further Working Capital Line Draws shall cease and the Working Capital Line shall be reduced to the then outstanding principal balance thereof, as further reduced by the amount of each principal payment subsequently received by Lender and applied by Lender to the Working Capital Line, as provided in this Agreement. Upon the termination of the Working Capital Line and the repayment, in full, of the Working Capital Line, Lender shall (a) cancel the Working Capital Line Guarantor's Guaranty, (b) terminate Lender's security interests in the Working Capital Line Collateral and (c) cancel and return to the Working Capital Line Guarantor the Working Capital Line Guarantor's Guaranty and the Working Capital Line Collateral.
     3. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING AND ADVANCEMENT OF FUNDS FOR PROPERTY. Lender's obligation to advance any funds under this Facility with respect to any existing Approved Project or A&D Land, and Lender's subsequent obligation to advance funds with respect to any additional Property, shall be in Lender's sole and absolute discretion and subject to approval by Lender's credit administration department and (unless waived or deferred by Lender, in writing) the satisfaction, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, of each of the following conditions for the particular Property providing the basis for which Borrower is requesting funds:

          3.2 Guaranty of Property Owner. The fee owner of the applicable Property shall have become a Project Guarantor, guaranteeing repayment (as a direct obligor, and not as a guarantor of collection) of the Note and all obligations of Borrower under the Facility.

Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor shall have procured, before any A&D Draw is made hereunder with respect to the particular A&D Land or A&D Project, after the initial recordation of the Mortgage encumbering such Property or following the recording of any amendments thereto or any additional Mortgages required to secure the Facility, an ALTA 1970 form extended coverage lender's policy of title insurance (or its equivalent acceptable to Lender) in a form and issued by a title company satisfactory to Lender, in an insured amount of not less than (a) in those jurisdictions imposing material taxes on Mortgages based on the amount secured thereby, the Maximum Available Amount allocated to the applicable Approved Project plus 120%, and (b) in all other jurisdictions, an amount equal to the Maximum Facility Amount minus the maximum amount of the Working Capital Line (i.e. $85,000,000.00), insuring the Mortgages as first liens or first deeds of trust (as applicable) on all Property securing the Facility, subject only to such exceptions as may be approved in writing by Lender and including such endorsements as shall be customary or as Lender may require, including, but not limited to Tie-In Endorsements, Florida Form 9 (or comparable comprehensive endorsements in other States), Letter of Credit Endorsements and Revolving Credit Endorsements (provided issuance of the requested endorsements is legal in the applicable State). No work of any character is to be commenced or material delivered to the applicable Property before the title policy insuring such Mortgage is furnished to Lender and Lender has advised Borrower that such policy has been received and is acceptable to Lender, except to the extent that the title policy ultimately provided to Lender insures the first lien priority of such Mortgage subject only to permitted exceptions approved by Lender despite any such prior work and without exceptions for construction liens. The intention of the parties hereto is that every Mortgage granted as security for the Facility is and, to the extent modified by any modification and spreader thereof, shall continue to be prior to any construction lien. If any material is delivered or work performed before Lender has received each such policy, Lender may, at its option, refuse to make any Draws hereunder with respect to such Property, other than to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Facility and proceed to exercise any and all remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents upon an occurrence of an Event of Default.

Lender may impose such additional conditions on such Draws as Lender may subsequently determine are necessary to insure that the proceeds of the Facility are applied to the purposes contemplated hereunder.
          4.1 Draw Procedures.
               4.1.1 Collateral Verification Certificate Report. Borrower shall submit periodic Collateral Verification Certificates no less than one (1) time per month and within twenty (20) days of month end for the month being reported, on a day Lender is open for business at the address set forth above, that shall cover all amounts being requested hereunder for A&D Draws and Borrowing Base Draws by providing Lender with such information, authorizations, and documents as Lender may request, including but not limited to Borrower's A&D Draw Request, a spreadsheet report for all A&D Project Budget Costs and related costs incurred, and a report detailing and listing all costs by category ("Borrower's Job Cost Reports") by Approved Project and Borrowing Base Draw Request.

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
                    4.1.2.3 No Illegality. No change in applicable Laws, or in the interpretation of such Laws shall have occurred which would make it illegal for Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and the making of any advance hereunder would not cause Lender to exceed its then current loans-to-one-borrower limitation; and
                    4.1.2.4 Title Endorsements. If required by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lender has received (i) such continuation endorsements and date-down endorsements to the title policies issued pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender as Lender determines in its sole discretion necessary to insure the priority of the applicable Mortgages as valid first liens on the Property described in the most recent Collateral Verification Certificate or (ii) an unconditional, irrevocable written commitment by the applicable title insurance company to issue such endorsements.

Lender may, at Lender's option, inspect A&D Projects at such intervals and as often as Lender may desire but not less than quarterly, and Lender will not withhold funding for A&D Draw Requests pending the inspection report next due. Should inspections of the A&D Projects indicate that the A&D Draw Requests portion of the Collateral Verification Certificate overstate the values, costs, or completion percentages, in addition to any other remedy afforded Lender, Lender may increase its frequency or scope of its inspections.
               4.3.2 Lot and Unit Inspections. Lender may, at Lender's option, inspect Developed Lots and Units securing the Facility at such intervals and as often as Lender may desire. Lender shall have sole discretion as to which portion and how much of the Property to inspect. Should inspections of the Property indicate that the Collateral Verification Certificates overstate the values, costs, or completion percentages, in addition to any other remedy afforded Lender, Lender may increase its sample size, frequency, or scope of its inspections.
               4.3.3 All Inspections. Borrower shall cooperate and shall cause Guarantors to cooperate with Lender in arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender or

Draw inspections shall be made by in-house Lender personnel or by a third-party architect/engineer, as required by Lender. Borrower shall pay inspection costs of Lender within twenty (20) days of demand. If inspections of the Property indicate that the Collateral Verification Certificate overstates the values, costs, or completion percentages, in addition to any other remedy afforded Lender, Lender may increase its sample size, frequency or scope of its inspections. In such event Borrower shall pay an additional inspection fee commensurate with the increased inspections.
          4.4 Draw Amounts.
               4.4.1 A&D Draw Requests. The allowed amount of each A&D Draw Request shown in the Collateral Verification Certificate shall be subject to the Maximum Facility Amount and all applicable Sub-Limits, in accordance with the approved Budget for the A&D Project set forth on the applicable A&D Project Addendum and determined by the information provided by Borrower in its A&D Draw Request, subject to adjustment based on Lender's inspections. A&D Draw Requests shall be further limited by the A&D Limitations set forth in paragraph K on SCHEDULE 1 or in the applicable A & D Project Addendum. If applicable, the A&D Draws shall also be made for the payment of interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.2 above (to the extent provided for in the applicable Budget) and for payment of all other Eligible Costs shown in the Budget for the particular A&D Project, payable by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the particular A&D Project. The allowed amount of each A&D Draw Request shall be determined, at Lender's option: (i) by Lender's review of a detailed report listing all invoices and costs as provided by Borrower and Lender's confirming physical inspection; (ii) on a percentage completion basis with reference to the schedules included in the applicable approved Budget, as established by a physical inspection of the construction conducted by Lender or its agent (or, at Lender's sole discretion, as disclosed by the information provided by Borrower in the A&D Draw Request); or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods. Lender shall require that Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor contribute any Equity Funds necessary to pay any portion of Eligible Costs incurred to the date of Borrower's Collateral Verification Certificate that are not covered by the applicable A&D Draw Request which, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, in writing, shall be amounts not less than (a) thirty-five percent (35%) of the cost of the A&D Land and (b) twenty percent (20%) of all hard and soft costs incurred from time to time in connection with the applicable Project. The aggregate amount available shall be the total of such Eligible Costs actually paid or incurred by Borrower for each of the cost line items specified in such Budget, but in no event shall the A&D Draw Request for a particular A&D Project exceed the total of all sums allocated to such cost line items, being in the aggregate the A&D Project Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to increase, decrease, reallocate, or reapply the amount of the A&D Project Allocation to be disbursed for each item set forth in the Budget. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, Borrower shall
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
maintain records of all Approved Project invoices and Lender, at its discretion, may require submission by Borrower of the invoices set forth on the spreadsheets.
               4.4.2 Borrowing Base Draws. The allowed amount of each Borrowing Base Draw Request shall be subject to the Maximum Facility Amount, the Maximum Available Amount and all applicable Sub-Limits and determined by the information provided by Borrower and Guarantors. Borrower shall not be entitled to any Draws based on the information in a particular Collateral Verification Certificate until Lender has had at least five (5) full business days to review and confirm the information provided by Borrower in that certificate, subject to adjustment based on Lender's inspections; provided, however, that Lender's failure to require adjustment within such time frame shall in no way limit Lender's right to require adjustments thereafter prior to the time funds are to be available in order to allow time for inspection. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing disbursement schedule may be different than the disbursement schedule contained in Borrower's or the Project Guarantors' construction contracts or subcontracts and Borrower acknowledges that it is its responsibility to resolve any such differences directly with the applicable contractors or subcontractors. The Maximum Available Amount is based on the applicable Collateral Basis Amounts for the Eligible Property Types calculated as set forth on SCHEDULE 1. In reviewing Borrower's Collateral Verification Certificate, determinations of "value," "cost," and "percentage of completion" shall be made by Lender in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with its standard credit procedures. In the event the percentage of completion or other information relating to a particular Eligible Property Type as determined by Lender varies from the information provided by Borrower in its most current Collateral Verification Certificate, Lender may, at any time and in its sole discretion, use the information as determined by Lender to calculate the Collateral Basis Amount.
               4.4.3 Working Capital Line Draws. The allowed amount of each Working Capital Line Draw shall be subject to the Maximum Facility Amount and shall in no event exceed the difference between $15,000,000.00 and the outstanding principal balance allocated to the Working Capital Line from time to time.
               4.4.4 Application of Draws. Although Borrowing Base Draws shall not be made hereunder on a line-item or paid invoice basis, the parties intend that all such proceeds of the Facility be applied first to pay all costs incurred for the refinance or purchase and development of the Property and the construction of single family residences thereon, as applicable, and that A&D Draws and Borrowing Base Draws be used to pay all such costs before being used to repay Borrower or any Guarantor any portion of their equity in the Property. Working Capital Line Draws may be used by Borrower for general working capital purposes; provided, however, that in no event shall proceeds of the Working Capital Line (or the Facility) be used for (a) personal, consumer, family, household, educational, agricultural or similar uses, (b) land banking or land speculation or (c) the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any party for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors. Lender shall have no obligation to ensure that proceeds of the Facility are properly applied to purposes of the Facility as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the sole obligation to ensure proper allocation of all Draws hereunder. Despite the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to disburse Facility proceeds directly to any unpaid supplier of labor, materials, equipment, services, or supplies whose claim
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
has or may become a lien against any portion of the Property, or to require that Draws be made in the form of dual-payee checks or other restricted forms of transfer.
     5. MANNER OF CONSTRUCTION.
          5.1 Conformance with Plans and Laws. All work shall be performed and the Approved Projects and Units shall be developed and constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, free from all material defects in materials or workmanship. Development of Approved Projects and construction and use of the Units shall conform in all material respects to the applicable Plans and Specifications and all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules relating thereto ("Laws"), including, without limitation, all building, zoning, planning, subdivision, fire, traffic, safety, health, disability, labor, discrimination, environmental, air quality, wetlands, shoreline, and flood plain laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules. The Laws shall also include all governmental and private covenants, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the development of the Property and the construction of Units thereon. Prior to any Draw hereunder with respect to any Approved Project, Lender may require Borrower to supply evidence satisfactory to Lender that it and each applicable Project Guarantor has complied in all material respects with the applicable Plans and Specifications and that neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor has been cited for the violation of any Laws.
          5.2 Right of Entry. Lender or its agents shall at all times have the right to enter upon any portion of the Project during the period of development or construction upon one (1) business day prior notice to Borrower. If the work is not satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, Lender shall have the right to stop such non-conforming work and order its replacement, whether or not the unsatisfactory work has theretofore been incorporated in the improvements.
          5.3 Rights In Personal Property. No materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other part of such improvements or apparatus to be used in connection therewith shall be purchased and/or installed under conditional sale agreements or other arrangements wherein the right is reserved or may accrue to anyone to remove and/or to repossess any such items.
          5.4 No Changes in the Construction Documents. Borrower and the Project Guarantors shall make no changes in the Plans and Specifications or the other Construction Documents, after the same have been approved by Lender, which would result in an increase in the cost of construction by more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate, without first obtaining the written consent of Lender to such changes (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such increased cost is as a result of options chosen by and fully paid for by the purchaser of a Pre-Sold Unit or required by Law.
          5.5 Deadline for Start of Development/Construction. Borrower and/or the applicable Project Guarantor shall begin development of particular A&D Improvements prior to or by the commencement date set forth in the A&D Project Addendum for the applicable A&D Project. In the event that the development of such A&D Improvements has not commenced on or before the Commencement Date set forth in the applicable A&D Project Addendum, all funding availability for such A&D Project shall be immediately reduced to zero on the Collateral
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
Verification Certificate. Borrower and/or the applicable Project Guarantor shall begin construction of a particular Unit, as applicable, within ninety (90) days of the Unit's inclusion in a Collateral Verification Certificate or Lender shall require that the advance for the Developed Lot upon which the Unit shall be constructed be reduced to no more than sixty-five percent (65%) loan-to-appraised value.
          5.6 Start Limitation. Unless otherwise approved by Lender, neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor shall be entitled to add any additional A&D Projects to the Facility either (a) at any time during which Borrower is in violation of the minimum pre-tax net income financial covenant set forth in Schedule 2, Section B hereto or (b) after the Expiration Date, as such date may be extended as set forth herein. Further, Lender shall not be required to advance any Draw or portion thereof with respect to any Unit, as to which construction shall have commenced later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as same may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof).
          5.7 Lender's Right to Complete Development/Construction. If (i) development or construction is at any time abandoned, discontinued, or not carried on with reasonable dispatch and not cured within five (5) days after written notice or such longer period as approved by Lender, except as may be extended by force majeure, if Borrower commences to cure and is proceeding diligently to complete such cure; (ii) the work is not properly performed as determined by Lender and such failure is not cured within five (5) days after written notice or such longer period as approved by Lender if Borrower commences to cure and is proceeding diligently to complete such cure; or (iii) an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, then Lender may, at its option and in addition to any and all other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, without further notice, take possession of the affected Property and enter into contracts for or proceed with the finishing of such improvements according to the applicable Plans and Specifications and pay the cost thereof. Borrower shall repay any and all costs incurred by Lender in taking such action upon demand by Lender and repayment thereof, together with interest charged at the default rate under the Note from the date funds are advanced by Lender for such purpose, shall be secured by the Mortgages.
          5.8 Recorded Covenants. Borrower shall submit to Lender a copy of any declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions, or any other restrictive covenants affecting the Property and obtain Lender's approval of any such declaration or covenant prior to recording, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon approval, Lender agrees to consent to such document(s), to the extent such consent is required by Law.
          5.9 Time/Construction/Development. Once Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor has commenced physical development of A&D Improvements within a particular A&D Project or construction of a particular Unit, Borrower and the applicable Project Guarantor shall not cease or substantially cease productive work on that A&D Project or Unit, as applicable, for more than twenty (20) days in the aggregate, except as may be extended by force majeure, without the prior written consent of Lender. In any event, unless each A&D Project shall be completed to Lender's satisfaction on or before the Completion Date set forth in the applicable A&D Project Addendum, Lender shall have no further obligation to fund further A&D Draws with respect to such A&D Project. Once construction of an individual Unit with proceeds of the Facility shall be commenced, the construction of such Unit shall be diligently pursued to
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
completion, to Lender's reasonable satisfaction, and shall remain included in Collateral Verification Certificates, but only for such period specified by Lender in writing. [see SCHEDULE 1 attached hereto].
          5.10 Actions Required by Lien Laws. Borrower shall take all steps necessary under the Laws of each applicable State to prevent the assertion of claims or liens against the Property or any part thereof or right or interest appurtenant thereto, or of claims against Lender or the Facility and shall otherwise comply with all provisions of lien laws applicable to Borrower, each Project Guarantor and the Property.
          5.11 Costs Incurred by Lender.

interest payment when and as the same shall become due and payable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or under any other indebtedness of Borrower or Guarantor or their affiliates to Lender, whether at its scheduled payment date or otherwise, subject to any applicable grace period as set forth in the Loan Documents; (b) any representation or warranty made now or hereafter by Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any statement, report, or certificate provided to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection therewith, proves to be false in any material respect; (c) Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any other non-curable term, provision, or covenant in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document; (d) Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform or is in breach of any other curable, non-monetary term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement and fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after notice thereof from Lender; provided, however, that if such curable, non-monetary default may not reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, an "Event of Default" shall not be deemed to have occurred unless (i) Borrower fails to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within ten (10) days after Lender's notice thereof or (ii) such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after Lender's notice of such default; or (e) Borrower or any Guarantor shall become involved in financial difficulties as evidenced by failing generally to pay debts as they become due, or filing a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or filing any answer or admission asking for such relief, or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or consenting to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for all or a major portion of such party's assets, or the entry of an order for relief against such party as a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or the entry of a court order appointing a receiver or trustee for all or a major portion of such party's property without its consent, which order shall not be vacated or stayed within sixty (60) days of its entry.
          10.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and continuation of any Event of Default, any and all liabilities of Borrower and Guarantors to Lender shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice (except as provided in this Agreement) of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower (unless prohibited by applicable law) and Borrower shall have no further right to additional Draws hereunder. Lender may exercise, at its option, any of the rights and remedies available to it hereunder or otherwise available under law or equity, including without limitation, electing (a) to perform any defaulted covenant or provision to such extent as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or to disburse funds under the Note for such purpose (including, without limitation, payment of insurance premiums, taxes, or assessments), which amounts, together with interest thereon from the disbursement date until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate provided for in the Note, shall be secured by the Mortgages; (b) to take control of any or all collateral until all amounts due hereunder are paid in full; or (c) to exercise all rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, under any other Loan Documents, and under applicable law.
     11. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the underwriting, processing, closing, and funding of the Facility and the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of the Loan Documents, as well as any amendments, modifications, consents, or waivers relating thereto, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees (including reasonable fees of Lender's in-house counsel, if used) and costs. In addition, Lender shall be entitled to recover any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preservation of rights under and enforcement of the Loan Documents, or the
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
protection of its collateral thereunder, whether or not any lawsuit is commenced, in all such cases including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (including reasonable fees of Lender's in-house counselor any local counsel, if used) and costs, and all such fees and costs incurred by Lender in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Facility or Lender's security therefor in any manner.
     12. UNAUTHORIZED LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES. If any claim of lien is filed or recorded, or any stop notice or other notice of lien is served upon Lender, in connection with any Unit or other portion of the Property securing the Facility, or if a judgment or other encumbrance is placed against any such Property, such Unit or other portion of the Property securing the Facility in violation of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be excluded from the current and all future Collateral Verification Certificates until such breach is corrected and it shall constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower, within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of such event, either (a) pays the related judgment or claim and obtains the release and satisfaction of such lien, claim of lien, judgment, or encumbrance; or (b) obtains the release of such lien, judgment, or other encumbrance by transferring the same to or providing a surety bond in accordance with applicable law, and provides to Lender evidence of such release, in form and content acceptable to Lender.
     13. OFFSET RIGHTS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may take from any funds of Borrower or any Guarantor in its possession or, at the option of Lender, from any of the proceeds of the Facility, any amounts that Borrower has agreed to pay or is liable for under any of the Loan Documents, but Borrower shall nevertheless remain liable to Lender until all obligations provided for in this Agreement have been fully paid and discharged, notwithstanding Lender may not have elected to take payment from such funds.
     14. DISCLAIMEROF LIABILITY. The execution of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Lender and Borrower or any Guarantor does not constitute a joint venture and no provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents is made or shall be construed for the benefit of any third party. Borrower has accepted and hereby accepts the sole responsibility for the selection of all contractors, subcontractors, and all materials, supplies, and equipment to be used in the development and construction work at the Property securing the Facility, and Lender assumes no responsibility to Borrower or any Guarantor, any contractor, subcontractor, or any other person for the completion of the improvements or for the quality thereof, nor does Lender assume any responsibility for the application of Draws or payment of contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers. Inspection by Lender of development and construction work is for the purpose of protecting the security of Lender and is not to be construed as a representation by Lender that such work will be free from faulty material or workmanship. In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower or any Guarantor for punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower waives all claims for punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages.
     15. REQUIRED NOTICE OF DEFAULT TO LENDER. Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within ten (10) days after Borrower first had actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event that Borrower alleges gave
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off, or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender to which Borrower does not give such notice as set forth herein. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender's ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan.
     16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
          16.1 Captions, Severability. Captions and headings are used for convenience only and are not intended to modify or limit the textual provisions of this Agreement. If anyone or more provisions of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions thereof.

Any notice or demand to Borrower shall be deemed to have been given when sent by certified mail, first class, postage prepaid, sent by overnight mail by a nationally recognized courier or personally delivered to Borrower at Borrower's address set forth above, or to such other address as Borrower may furnish in writing to Lender for such purpose.

          16.6 Discretionary Rights. All rights, powers and remedies granted Lender herein, or otherwise available to Lender, are for the sole benefit and protection of Lender, and except as otherwise provided herein Lender may exercise any such right, power or remedy at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion without any obligation to do so; provided, however, that where Lender's consent or approval is required and not expressly reserved to the sole discretion of Lender, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if, under the terms hereof, Lender is given two or more alternative courses of action, Lender may elect any alternative or combination of alternatives, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion.

attorneys' fees, shall be secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents, shall bear interest at the Default Rate payable on the Facility until paid, and shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender immediately without demand.
     16.7 Indemnity.

This indemnity provision shall continue in full force and effect and shall survive not only the making of the Facility but shall also survive the repayment of the Facility and the performance of all of Borrower's other obligations hereunder.
     16.8 Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence of this Agreement.
     16.9 Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
     16.10 Participations/Syndications. Lender, at any time, shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participation or syndication interests in the Facility and in any documents and instruments executed in connection herewith; provided, however, to the extent Lender retains any portion of the Facility, Lender shall remain as the lead lender or administrative agent under the Facility, as applicable. Lender shall endeavor to provide thirty (30) days written notice to Borrower prior to any such sale, assignment, transfer, participation or syndication if, after giving effect to such transaction, Lender shall no longer be the lead lender or administrative agent under the Facility; provided, however that Lender shall incur no liability to Borrower for failure to deliver such notice, except to the extent such failure shall have been intentional. Lender is authorized to furnish to any participant, co-lender or prospective participant or co-lender any information or document that Lender may have or obtain regarding the Facility, Borrower or any Guarantor.
     16.11 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to Lender. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America and the States of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note, this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Note, this Agreement or under any of the other aforesaid Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 


 
with the Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be credited by Lender on the principal amount of the Facility (or, if the principal amount of the Facility shall have been paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Note is accelerated by reason of an election of Lender resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by Lender on the principal amount of the Facility (or, if the principal amount of the Facility shall have been paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower). Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, received or provided for under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents which are made for the purpose of determining whether the interest rate exceeds the applicable highest lawful rate (the "Highest Lawful Rate") shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility, all interest at anytime taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, received or provided for under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. If at anytime the sum of the stated interest rate on the Note exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest to accrue on the Note shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in any index upon which the stated rate of the Note is based shall not reduce the interest to accrue on the Note below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the Note equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the stated interest rate on the Note had at all times been in effect. If at maturity or final payment of the Note the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest which would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the stated interest rate on the Note had at all times been in effect, then Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Note if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Note if a varying rate per annum equal to the stated interest rate on the Note had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of the Note.
     16.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. LENDER AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY LENDER AND BORROWER, AND LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
