Nothing contained herein shall be construed to impose any liability upon Lender by reason of the assignment granted hereby until Lender exercises dominion and control with respect thereto, and Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, fines and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and costs) arising from or related to this assignment or under any of the Assigned Rights until Lender exercises dominion and control with respect thereto. Borrower shall deliver to Lender prompt written notice of any and all defaults or events which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time will become defaults by either Borrower or any third party under any Assigned Rights, and shall deliver copies of all written notices, demands and material communications between Borrower and any third party under any Assigned Rights. Borrower shall obtain any necessary consents or joinders necessary to effectuate the Assigned Rights.

     3. These assignments shall be in full force and effect as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding that this assignment is effective immediately, so long as there shall exist no Default by Borrower of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document which has not been cured within an applicable cure period and the cure accepted by Bank, Borrower shall have the right to take all action with respect to the items and matters assigned hereby. These assignments shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Borrower acknowledges that the making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower shall be made by Lender in full reliance upon these assignments. This instrument is for the sole benefit of Lender and shall not be construed for the benefit of any third party or parties.

     4. Upon delivery of written notice of Default to Borrower (after expiration of any applicable cure period), Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to take in its name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, such action as Lender may at any time or from time to time reasonably determine to be necessary to cure any Default of Borrower under the Assigned Rights, but under no circumstances shall Lender be obligated to take such action. Lender shall incur no liability on account of any action taken in good faith by it or on its behalf or otherwise

10


 

hereunder, whether or not the same shall prove to be improper, inadequate or invalid in whole or in part, and Borrower agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense, including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and expenses, in connection with any such action or actions except for Lender's wrongful acts or gross negligence. These assignments shall constitute Borrower's irrevocable direction to and full authority for third parties to act at Lender's written direction, notice or demand and to otherwise perform on Lender's behalf under the Assigned Rights after a Default exists under the Loan. Third parties shall be fully protected by Borrower in their reliance upon and compliance with any written request, notice or demand made by Lender with respect to the Assigned Rights or for performance of any undertaking thereunder, and shall have no right or duty to inquire as to whether any Default under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing.

     5. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, empowered to act in Borrower's name or in Lender's name or otherwise, in order to enforce all rights of Borrower under the Assigned Rights (i) during a Default or (ii) after a Default has occurred and been cured but said cure has not been accepted by Lender. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

ARTICLE V.

LOAN FUNDING

     1. Borrowing Base. Eligibility for funding under the Loan shall be determined under a "Borrowing Base" formula calculated based on the Sub-Limit Classifications ("Sub-Limit Classification(s)") set forth in the chart below ("Borrowing Base Matrix"), with each such Sub-Limit Classification referred to in this Loan Agreement (including without limitation in calculating the Maximum Advance Availability by the letter reference in the left-hand column of the chart below). Each such Sub-Limit Classification shall be a sublimit under the Revolving Loan for that category up to the referenced "Maximum Advance Availability" as shown in the Borrowing Base Matrix as may be combined with other Sub-Limit Classifications. The Maximum Advance Availability under the Borrowing Base shall be the value, or cost, as applicable, of each Sub-Limit Classification set forth below multiplied by the applicable Advance Rate as noted in the Borrowing Base Matrix, which results in the aggregate Margined Value (as hereinafter defined). "Margined Value" means the appraised value or cost, if applicable, of the applicable portion of the Mortgaged Property multiplied by the applicable Advance Rate for the particular Sub-Limit Classification as set forth below.

                           
 
                    Maximum  
                    Advance  
  Sub-Limit Classification     Advance Rate     Availability  
 
A)
    Undeveloped Land owned by Borrower Not Under Contract
Lender has been provided the legal description, boundary survey, environmental report, site plan, recorded deed & mortgage, endorsement to title insurance, and other closing documentation required. Land use is in place for construction of the Improvements.
    50% of lesser of (i) LTV, or (ii) LTC     $ 10,000,000    
 
B)
    Undeveloped Land owned by Borrower Under Contract for Sale

     2. Eligibility Limitations Under Borrowing Base. Eligibility under the Borrowing Base will be further limited as follows:

12


 

          (a) For "Undeveloped Land" owned by the Borrower (Sub-Limit Classification A), eligibility will be limited by the following:

(i) Undeveloped Land identified for use as golf course, amenities, parks, retention, preserve or other non-development uses for sale or rental use, or any other property designated as non-master planned community or property to be deeded to a master property owners association, an improvement district or a CDD other third party, is not eligible for the Borrowing Base once it has been identified and/or Borrower is contractually obligated to convey the property.

          (b) Any CDD Bond (net of adjustments) will be deducted from the applicable Margined Value (as hereinafter defined).

          (c) The formation of a CDD or modifications of the conditions of or new funding by an existing CDD on any part of the Property will require the reasonable consent of the Lender. The Lender reserves the rights to secure an appraisal update and/or modify the Advance Rate(s) set forth in Section 1 above with respect to the Property under the Borrowing Base on any portion of the Property submitted to a CDD. The Borrower shall use best efforts to obtain from the CDD quarterly internally prepared financial reports and annual audited financial statements; and to cause the internally prepared reports to be certified. The Borrower shall provide such reports to Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt by Borrower. Lender acknowledges that any Property under the Borrowing Base submitted to a CDD will be subject to assessments imposed by the CDD.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing Borrower Base Matrix, if any Land is optioned, contracted or owned for a period in excess of two (2) years prior to the Closing Date of the Loan, the Maximum Advance Availability will be based on the LTV Advance Rates and not the LTC Advance Rates listed in the Borrowing Base Matrix.

     3. Borrowing Base Administration.

          (a) The Lender shall be responsible for administering the Borrowing Base. The following reports shall be submitted by Borrower on monthly basis on forms and with such supporting documentation as the Lender shall reasonably require: (i) a Borrowing Base Report (the Initial Borrowing Base Report shall be used for the determination of the Maximum Advance Availability under the Borrowing Base for the first quarter); (ii) an Inventory Report; (iii) Work in Progress Report; and (iv) any other information required by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion.

          (b) Additions, reclassifications, and all partial releases of Property under the Borrowing Base will be processed by the Lender, with assistance from counsel, as requested by the Lender, at the Borrower's expense.

          (c) Phase I environmental reports (or participation in Lender's Environmental Collateral Protection Program) shall be required on any new real property mortgaged to the Lender, to be reviewed and determined to be acceptable by the Lender, in the Lender’s

13


 

reasonable discretion. The Lender may accept existing Phase I reports, subject to its review and acceptance at Lender's sole and absolute discretion.

          (d) Additions to the Property to be considered eligible for the Borrowing Base must be acceptable to the Lender in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Loan Agreement, in Lender's reasonable discretion, and documented in the same manner as required with respect to the Property under the terms of this Loan Agreement and the Commitment, and must include, but not limited to:

               (1) Recorded mortgage spreader and advance documents as reasonably required by Lender's counsel.

               (2) Title policies endorsed advancing the effective date of the Lender's Title Policy, insuring that no adverse matters have appeared of record since the prior effective date, and adding such real property insured under Lender's first priority mortgage subject to any Permitted Exceptions.

               (3) Recorded plat, if applicable, and a certified boundary survey of the Property then being encumbered.

               (4) Appraisal in satisfactory form and content in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.

               (5) Phase I environmental report in satisfactory form and content in Lender's reasonable discretion (or participation in Lender's Environmental Collateral Protection Program).

               (6) Evidence satisfactory to the Lender of Sub-Limit Classification status as defined in the Borrowing Base.

               (7) Written confirmation of Lender's counsel that documentation received is acceptable in order to add the proposed real property to the Borrowing Base.

               (8) If required by Lender, the Lender's Inspector has performed any required project permit review, cost/design review, development rights review and/or progress inspections of any Land Under Development. Borrower will provide copies of progress/development status reports from project engineers, plans and specification, permits, development orders, and other information the Lender may reasonably require to validate collateral eligibility under the Borrowing Base. Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for the cost of the Lender's Inspector.

          (e) Reclassifications of eligible Land will require:

               (1) Evidence satisfactory to the Lender of Sub-Limit Classification status and Maximum Advance Availability as defined in the Borrowing Base, including but not limited to, copies of approved and/or recorded plats, if any, endorsement advancing the effective date of the Lender's Title Policy and insuring that no adverse matters have appeared of record since the prior effective date, whatever affidavits and/or surveys required by title agent in order

14


 

to delete any exceptions for survey matters on the title endorsement, which may include, a surveyor's affidavit or updated certified boundary survey (if original boundary survey provided is dated more than ninety (90) days prior to reclassification request), site plans, if any, permits, licenses and other approvals as appropriate. The Borrower shall pay for the reasonable fees and costs for the review of such documentation, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and Lender's Inspector's fees and costs.

               (2) Appraisal update (if applicable).

          (f) Deletions or partial releases of portions of Land eligible under the Borrowing Base will be executed by the Lender upon submission of:

               (1) Partial release and attached legal description.

               (2) If unplatted, at Lender's request, a boundary survey or sketch.

               (3) Compliance with Paragraph 4 below.

     4. Release Prices. Partial releases will be executed by the Lender without the requirement for payment of a "Release Price" so long as: (a) there is no uncured Default; (b) the Lot, development parcel, or other Property to be released is not needed in the Borrowing Base to support outstanding borrowings, any Letters of Credit issued, or any other exposure; and (c) the partial release does not negatively impact in any way the value or use of the remaining collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that Borrower may request, from time to time, releases for parks, roads, and other non-developable portions of the Property including, but not limited to, conveyances to property owners associations, CDDs and Governmental Authorities without payment of a Release Price so long as the requirements for nonpayment of a Release Price contained in this provision are satisfied. If release of a Lot or development parcel would result in the amounts outstanding under the Loans being in excess of the Margined Value, the partial release may be denied or (i) a reduction of principal outstanding to the Margined Value or (ii) an increase in the Collateral to the Margined Value may be required by the Lender as a condition to the partial release. Partial Releases will reduce availability in the Borrowing Base by the Margined Value of the property released. The Borrower shall be required to provide Lender with Partial and Final Lien Waivers (as applicable) from any party filing a Notice to Owner on any Land encumbered by Lender.

     5. Plats and Consents. Lender acknowledges that Lender will be required to execute and consent to certain plats, certain easements, declarations and other development documents in connection with the development of the Land. Lender agrees to execute all such documents, after Lender's review and approval of same, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed without payment of any Release Price or other consideration. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender agrees to join in all plats and subordinate the lien of the mortgage to any dedications provided on such plats and to execute such documents as may be reasonably required from Borrower with respect to any of the following: (i) recordation of any declaration of covenants and restrictions for all or any portion of the Property; (ii) formation of any CDD for all or any portion of the Property; (iii) any easement, license or other grant or conveyance to any Governmental Authority or utility company; (iii) any dedication, reservation or other restriction

15


 

provided on a plat, and (iv) such other authorizations, consents and joinders as may be required to obtain the further development approvals with respect to the Property.

ARTICLE VI.

METHOD AND CONDITIONS OF DISBURSEMENT OF LOAN PROCEEDS

     1. Revolving Loan. The purpose of the Revolving Loan is to provide financing under the Borrowing Base as provided in Article V above.

     2. Loan Requisitions.

          (a) All Requisitions for proceeds of the Loan under Sub-Limit Classifications shall be disbursed to Borrower upon request in accordance with this Loan Agreement, subject only to the following limitations: (i) Borrower is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, the Financial and Operating Statements contained in this Loan Agreement; (ii) there is availability under the Borrowing Base considering any limitations set forth in Article V hereof; and (iii) no Default shall have occurred and be uncured as of the date of the funding request.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event funding on the Borrowing Base exceeds the amount permitted by an inspection audit as performed by Lender's Inspector, Borrower must, within twenty (20) business days after notification by Lender, either (i) reduce the loan balance to the amount documented by the audit, or (ii) provide additional collateral acceptable to the Lender in accordance with this Loan Agreement at a value (based on Advance Rates as noted in the Borrowing Base Matrix) that would support the current Borrowing Base funding.

     3. Solvency. At such time as Borrower shall desire to obtain a disbursement of any portion of the Loan proceeds, Lender may require, in its reasonable discretion, that Lender be provided with satisfactory evidence that there is not pending against Borrower a petition in bankruptcy, whether voluntary or otherwise, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any petition seeking reorganization or arrangements under the Federal bankruptcy laws of the United States or of any other action brought under the aforesaid bankruptcy laws. Such evidence shall be in the form of affidavits signed by an officer of Borrower.

     4. Access to Streets. Lender shall not make any disbursement for construction of the Improvements for any Land Under Development if the Land Under Development shall not have legal and insurable access which may include an easement providing such access. Lender acknowledges and agrees that legal access to any Land Under Development will be constructed contemporaneously with the Improvements.

     5. Final Disbursement Date. Subject to other provisions of this Article, Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from the proceeds of this Loan later than the Loan Maturity Date.

     6. Lien Priority as Prerequisite for Funding. As of the date hereof, the Mortgage shall be of first lien priority as to the Property. Lender shall in no event disburse funds from the

16


 

Loan proceeds unless (a) the Mortgage then shall constitute a first lien on such Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions and (b) there shall exist no other lien of any sort, whether prior or inferior, than the lien of the Mortgage with respect to the Property other than the Permitted Exceptions.

     7. Conditions Precedent to Each Disbursement of the Loan. At no time and in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds if any Default as described herein or in the Mortgage shall have occurred and shall not have been cured prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period.

     8. Notice, Frequency and Place of Disbursements. At Lender's option (a) the above-said Requisition shall be submitted to Lender at least three (3) business days prior to the date of the requested advance, (b) disbursement shall be made no more frequently than bi-monthly, and (c) all disbursements as to the Loan shall be made by transfer to Borrower's account at Lender or at such other place as Borrower may designate from time to time.

     9. Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No advance of Loan proceeds hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender's obligation to make further advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such waiver have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default described herein or in the Mortgage.

     10. Letters of Credit. At the request of Borrower and provided that a Default does not exist, the Lender shall issue, pursuant to the requirements of the Revolving Loan and in accordance with the Borrowing Base procedures of Article V, stand-by Letters of Credit in favor of governmental authorities in order to serve as performance bonds for Borrower's development of real property. Prior to issuance of a Letter of Credit by the Lender and at such time as a Letter of Credit is requested by Borrower for the benefit of any real property being developed with proceeds of the Loan:

          (a) Borrower shall execute an Application and Agreement for Irrevocable Standby Letter(s) of Credit;

          (b) The amount advanced by Lender under such Letter of Credit shall be secured by the applicable Mortgage and guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor;

          (c) Borrower shall pay to Bank upon issuance of the Letter of Credit a fee of 1/2 of 1% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (and thereafter upon any annual renewal);

          (d) The Letter of Credit shall contain a thirty (30) day cancellation by Bank provision and shall have an expiration date no later than twelve (12) months (with annual renewal options upon payment of a renewal fee);

          (e) Any sums paid by Bank under the Letter of Credit shall initially accrue interest at the Loan interest rate provided in the Note and such sum, together with accrued interest to the extent it exceeds the Borrowing Base, shall be repaid by Borrower within five (5) business days from receipt of notice from Bank that the Letter of Credit (or portions thereof) have been paid;

17


 

          (f) In the event the Letter of Credit is paid by Bank (and not repaid by Borrower as provided immediately above), such payment shall be deemed by Bank as a Default by Borrower under the Loan and interest shall commence to accrue on the amount of such payment at the Default Rate of Interest provided in the Note; and

          (g) The applicable Mortgage shall not be satisfied until all Letters of Credit relating to such Property are returned to Bank or the Letters of Credit are secured by cash or other collateral acceptable to Bank in its reasonable discretion.

If at any time Borrower requests a reduction or cancellation in the amount of any Letter of Credit issued by the Lender, Borrower must present written authorization in substance acceptable to the Lender from the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit approving the reduction and the amount so reduced. Any Letter of Credit issued shall reduce the Borrowing Base Availability by the amount of the letter of credit issued.

21


 

been the subject of a petroleum contamination site cleanup or remediation under Chapter 17-770, Florida Administrative Code, or other applicable environmental law;

                    (v) that Borrower and/or Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any change in the nature or extent of any Hazardous Substances or toxic materials, substances or wastes maintained on, in or under the Property or used in connection therewith, and will transmit to Lender copies of any citations, orders, notices, liens, or other material governmental or other communication received with respect to any other hazardous materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated substances affecting the Property; and Borrower and Guarantor shall not cause or permit to exist, as a result of an intentional or unintentional act or omission on its part, a releasing, discharging, spilling, leaking, pumping, emitting, pouring, emptying or dumping of a Hazardous Substance from the Property into waters or onto lands of the State of Florida or the waters of the United States, or into waters outside the jurisdiction of the State of Florida where damage may result to the lands, waters, fish, shellfish, wildlife, biota, air and other resources owned, managed, held in trust or otherwise controlled by the State of Florida or the United States, unless said release, discharge, spill, leak, pump, emission, pouring, emptying or dumping, etc. is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental authorities;

                    (vi) that Borrower and Guarantor are not aware of, nor have the Borrower, Guarantor, or any subsidiary or affiliated entities, received notice of, any past, present or future events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions or plans which may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued compliance with Environmental Laws or any ordinance, regulation, code, plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder, or which may give rise to any common law or legal liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation, based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release into the environment, of any Hazardous Substance; and

               (2) Borrower and Guarantor shall, at their own cost and expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or advisable for the clean-up of the Property, including all removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and shall further pay or cause to be paid at no expense to Lender all clean-up, administrative, and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property or the owner thereof.

               (3) Borrower and Guarantor hereby agree to indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender, its officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns from and against all demands, claims, civil or criminal actions or causes of action, liens, assessments, civil or criminal penalties or fines, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs, disbursements,

22


 

expenses or fees of any kind or of any nature (including, without limitation, cleanup costs, attorneys’, consultants' or experts' fees and disbursements and costs of litigation at trial and appellate levels) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against, Lender directly or indirectly, resulting from: (i) any acts or activities of Borrower, its agents, employees or contractors, at, on or about the Property which contaminate air, soils, surface waters or groundwaters over, on or under the Property; (ii) arising from or out of any Hazardous Substance on, in or under the Property; (iii) pursuant to or in connection with the application of any Environmental Law to the acts or omissions of Borrower or any other person and any environmental damage alleged to have been caused, in whole or in part, by the transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of any Hazardous Substance; or (iv) arising from or in relation to the presence, whether past, present or future, of any Hazardous Substances on the Property.

               (4) Without limiting the foregoing, this indemnification provision specifically protects the Lender against any claim or action from activities described in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, based in whole or in part upon any Environmental Law, environmental statute, rule, regulation or policy, CERCLA and RCRA (as may be amended from time to time), and other laws, whether now in existence or enacted in the future.

               (5) Borrower's and Guarantor's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be one of strict liability and shall be enforceable without regard to any fault or knowledge of Borrower or Guarantor with respect to any act or omission or condition or event which is the basis of the claim under such indemnification obligation. Borrower's and Guarantor's obligation under this Paragraph shall not be limited to any extent by the term of the Note or other obligations secured hereby, and such obligation shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding payment in full or other satisfaction or release therefrom but shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or events arising after foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be deemed to survive and continue in full force and effect after any foreclosure or other proceeding by which the Lender, and its successors and assigns succeed to ownership of the Property.

               (6) Those liabilities, losses, claims, damages and expenses for which Lender is indemnified under this Paragraph shall be reimbursable to Lender at Lender's option to make payments with respect thereto, without any requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of any litigation, claim or other proceeding, and Borrower and Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, pay such liability, losses, claims, damages and expenses to Lender as so incurred within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender itemizing the amounts incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any remedy available for failure to periodically pay such amounts, such amounts shall after such thirty (30) day period bear interest at the "Default Rate" as defined in the Loan Documents.

               (7) Borrower and Guarantor waive any acceptance of this indemnity by Lender. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Borrower from their obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by Lender. This indemnity is subject to enforcement at law and/or equity, including actions for damages and/or specific performance.

23


 

               (8) Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrower to periodically perform (at Borrower's and Guarantor's expense) an environmental audit (if Lender reasonably suspects the presence of Hazardous Substances or violation of Environmental Laws, if a notice of violation is sent by any governmental authority, or if any governmental authority, including those regulating financial institutions, should require such) and, if deemed necessary by Lender due to the foregoing, an environmental risk assessment, each of which must be satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, of the Property, hazardous waste management practices and/or hazardous waste disposal sites used by Borrower. Such audit and/or risk assessment must be by an environmental consultant satisfactory to Lender. Should Borrower fail to perform such environmental audit or risk assessment within 30 days of the Lender's written request, Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to retain an environmental consultant to perform such environmental audit or risk assessment. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in the exercise of such rights shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in the Note and shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall be payable by Borrower and Guarantor upon demand or charged to Borrower's loan balance at the discretion of the Lender.

               (9) Any breach of warranty, representation or agreement contained in this Paragraph shall be an Event of Default hereunder and shall entitle Lender to exercise any and all remedies provided in the Mortgage, or otherwise permitted by law. The warranties, representations, and indemnities made by Borrower and/or any Guarantor in this Loan Agreement shall survive satisfaction of the Note and Mortgage.

               (10) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the foregoing representations are qualified to the extent that Borrower has provided Lender with written information, such as an environmental audit disclosing any environmental conditions.

          (q) Financial Information. All financial information which has been and will be delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan or pursuant to the Loan Documents, including all information relating to the financial condition of Borrower, or any of its partners or shareholders, and Guarantor, fairly and accurately represents the financial condition that is being reported. All such information was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, unless otherwise noted. There has been no material adverse change in any financial condition reported at any time to Lender that would result in a violation of the financial covenants applicable to such party. Borrower and Guarantor shall be required to execute and deliver to Lender attestation forms as to all financial statements provided to the Lender, which said attestation forms shall be executed by an authorized officer of the Borrower and Guarantor, respectively.

          (r) Accuracy. All reports, documents, instruments, information and forms of evidence which have been delivered to Lender concerning the Loan or required by the Loan Documents are accurate, correct and sufficiently complete in all material respects to give Lender true and accurate knowledge of their subject matter. None of them contains any misrepresentation or omission.

          (s) Taxes. Borrower has, prior to delinquency, duly filed, paid and/or discharged all taxes or other claims that may become a lien on any Property, except to the extent that such items are being appropriately contested in good faith and an adequate reserve for the

24


 

payment thereof is being maintained. With regard to any other property or assets not subject to this Loan, the nonpayment by Borrower or Guarantor of taxes or other claims that may be come a lien on such other property or assets will not have a material adverse effect on the financial covenants made by Borrower or Guarantor in this Loan Agreement.

          (t) Interest Rate Swap Security. During the term of the Loan, Borrower will be provided with an option to hedge the Loan's floating interest expense by entering into a future interest rate swap (the "Swap") with Lender contemporaneously with the closing of the Loan, pursuant to which Borrower would receive the amount necessary to pay the interest expense due under the Loan (exclusive of default interest or other adjustments provided for in the Loan Documents) and would pay the amount that would be equal to the interest that would accrue on the Loan at a fixed rate. Lender will provide this Swap to Borrower upon mutually agreeable terms. The actual rate of the Swap would be subject to market conditions at the time the Swap is consummated. The Swap would be governed by an ISDA Master Agreement and secured by the Collateral described in the Loan Documents.. In the event that the Borrower exercises the Swap with Lender and in the event of prepayment in whole or in part of the Loan, the Swap must be unwound and a "breakage fee" may be due and payable to Lender.

          (u) Ownership of Borrower. The Borrower is owned and controlled by Guarantor, which in turn is owned and controlled by Levitt Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII.

COVENANTS AND FURTHER AGREEMENTS OF BORROWER

     Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

Borrower will not suffer or permit any default or Event of Default to exist hereunder or thereunder. Borrower will promptly give notice in writing to Lender (a) of the occurrence of any material litigation or proceeding affecting Borrower and whether or not Borrower's liability, if any, is covered by insurance, and (b) of any dispute between Borrower and any governmental or regulatory body or any other party, which dispute may materially interfere with Borrower's normal operations or with construction of the Improvements.

     2. Insurance. Borrower will procure for, deliver copies of and original certificates of and maintain for the benefit of Lender during the life of the Mortgage, insurance policies in such amounts as Lender shall reasonably require in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage and required by the Loan Documents.

     3. Collection of Insurance Proceeds. To cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any insurance or other proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in paying any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower to Lender incurred hereunder (including the payment by

25


 

Borrower of the expense of an independent appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty affecting the Property).

     4. Ad Valorem Tax and Assessments. If required by Lender, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Default or if required by regulatory requirements, Borrower will pay to Lender on the first (1st) day of each month, together with and in addition to the regular installment of interest and principal and until the Note is fully paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated ad valorem real estate taxes to enable Lender to pay such taxes when due. Such added payments shall not be nor be deemed to be trust funds, but may be commingled with the general funds of Lender and Lender shall not pay interest on them. At the option of Lender, such added payments may be carried as a debit item on Lender's books and accounts. Taxes and assessments for the Property shall be escrowed with the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage.

     Upon demand of Lender, Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender such additional sums as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Lender to pay such real estate taxes. Lender shall have no responsibility for payment of any premium for taxes hereunder, except to the extent that funds are deposited by Borrower with Lender hereunder. In the event of a default by Borrower in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Mortgage, this Loan Agreement or the Note, Lender may, at Lender's option, apply any amount then held by Lender under this paragraph to the reduction of the indebtedness secured in the Mortgage.

     If Lender does not require the aforementioned escrow, Borrower shall pay such taxes before such become delinquent and shall submit proof, on an annual basis, but no later than ten (10) days after written request from Lender.

     5. Application of Loan Proceeds. Borrower shall be permitted to use the proceeds under the Loan for any lawful business activities conducted by Borrower in the normal course of Borrower's real estate business in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement.

Under no circumstances will Lender pay to any third party any mortgage brokerage or other fees incurred in connection with this Loan and Borrower covenants and agrees to indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from any and all

26


 

such claims for fees or commissions by third parties. Further, Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender's costs and attorneys' fees, including all appellate litigation, involving any of such claims.

     8. Borrower's Equity Requirement. Intentionally Omitted.

     9. General Construction Requirements. Good workmanship and quality materials shall be utilized. Quality of construction, consistent with the caliber of the Improvements and customary building practices and industry standards, is of the essence. Borrower shall supply such sums of money and perform such duties as may be necessary to complete the construction of the Improvements pursuant to the approved Plans and Specifications and in full compliance with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents without liens, claims or assessments (actual or contingent) asserted against the Property for any material, labor or other items furnished in connection therewith, and all in full compliance with Florida law, and further in compliance with all construction, use, building, zoning and other similar requirements of any pertinent governmental authority. Borrower will provide to Lender evidence of satisfactory compliance with all of such requirements upon request therefore by Lender.

     10. Access. The rights-of-way for all roads necessary for the full utilization of any existing Improvements for their intended purposes, and sufficient to provide legal access to all undeveloped Parcels have either been acquired by the master property owners association or appropriate governmental authority or have been dedicated to public use and accepted by such master property owners association or governmental authority (or are the subject of permanent easements for ingress and egress, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender).

     11. Right of Lender to Inspect Property and Review Plans for any Land Under Development. With regard to any Land Under Development, Lender and its representatives and agents and any Lender's construction inspector shall be permitted to enter upon the Property regardless of whether such inspection is related to a specific Requisition, and to cooperate and cause each Contractor, if any, to cooperate with Lender and its representatives and agents and Lender's Inspector during such inspections (including making available to Lender working copies of the Plans and Specifications together with all related supplementary materials); provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to impose upon Lender any obligation to undertake such inspections. Lender may, in Lender's sole discretion, designate a construction Inspector to perform various services on behalf of Lender. The reasonable costs of these services shall be charged to and shall be paid by Borrower. The services performed by Lender's Inspector include but are not limited to review of the Plans and Specifications, review of any and all other documents in the possession or control of Borrower and all proposed changes to them, inspection of construction work for the proposed Improvements and approval of requests for Loan disbursements.

          (b) Lender may take such time as is reasonable to evaluate any requests for proposed changes in the Plans and Specifications for any Land Under Development, and may require that all other approvals required from other parties be obtained before it reviews any requested change. Lender may approve or disapprove changes in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. Borrower acknowledges that delays may result as a result of such time for approval by Lender, and Borrower agrees that Lender shall not be liable for such delays and Borrower hold Lender harmless from and against any claims, demands, damages, costs and expenses arising from such delay.

     13. Correction of Defects. For any Land Under Development, to promptly correct any defect in the Improvements or any material departure from the Plans and Specifications not permitted herein which has not been approved previously by Lender. The advance of any Loan proceeds shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require compliance with this covenant.

     14. Sign Regarding Financing. During the development of any Improvements, and to the extent permitted by the applicable ordinances and/or other restrictions, to promptly erect and maintain on the Property, on a site suitable to Lender, a sign provided by Lender at Lender's expense, indicating that Lender is providing financing, all to Lender's satisfaction, and to prevent the destruction or removal of said sign without Lender's prior written approval.

     15. Books and Records. To keep and maintain proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of income and expense of Borrower in connection with the Property and the construction thereon; and upon the request of Lender, to make such books, records and accounts immediately available to Lender, upon reasonable notice, for inspection or independent audit. Such inspection shall take place in Borrower's offices during normal business hours.

          (f) any actual or proposed change in Borrower's name or any trade name in which it does business.

     17. Keeping Guarantor Informed. Borrower shall keep Guarantor informed of Borrower's financial condition and business operations, the condition and all uses of the Property; including all changes in condition or use, and all other circumstances which may affect Borrower's ability to pay and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower's failure to comply with the terms of this paragraph shall not limit, abrogate or diminish, or constitute a defense to, the Guarantor's liability to Lender under the guaranty or the other Loan Documents.

     18. Financial and Operating Statements.

Bank lends at rates both above and below Bank's Prime Rate, and Borrower acknowledges that Bank's Prime Rate is not represented or intended to be the lowest or most favorable rate of interest offered by Bank.

(iii) "Interest Period" means each period commencing on and including the date an interest payment is due as provided in the Repayment Terms paragraph and ending on but excluding the date the next interest payment is due, with the first Interest Period commencing on May 3, 2005.

(iv) Borrower may change the Interest Rate Option not more than once every thirty (30) days by providing written notice thereof to Bank at least three (3) days' prior to the beginning of the next Interest Period.

DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 3% ("Default Rate"). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period ("Actual/360 Computation"). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year's period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable as follows: from the date of this Note through and including the twenty-fourth month thereafter ("Maturity Date"), as same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Note, commencing on May 3, 2005, and continuing on the third day of each month thereafter, the Note shall be payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only calculated on the outstanding principal balance. The Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan for one additional twelve (12) month period ("Extension Term") on the same terms and conditions as the prior twenty-four (24) months of the Loan upon satisfaction of the "Conditions to Extension". Any and all remaining principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

CONDITIONS TO EXTENSION. No Event of Default under the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing and Bank has received (a) all the items required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (b) approvals from all governmental authorities that are required for the Improvements to be used as intended, (c) payment from Borrower of an extension fee in an amount equal to .25% of the Loan Amount at the time of exercise of the extension and (d) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Bank that Guarantor has a Tangible Net Worth of (i) THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS ($30,000,000), plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all net income received by Guarantor for all years after the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, which shall be based upon the consolidated financial statements of Guarantor. In addition, the

2


 

Extension Term shall be subject to satisfaction of the Financial Covenants as outlined in the Loan Agreement.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied to pay late charges, accrued and unpaid interest, principal, escrow (if any) and any other fees, costs and expenses which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Note, in such order as Bank may elect from time to time in its sole discretion. Upon the occurrence of a Default in the payment of the Obligations or a Default (as defined in the other Loan Documents) under any other Loan Document, monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank.

If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.

OPTIONAL HEDGE. During the term of the Loan, Borrower will be provided with an option to hedge the Loan's floating interest expense by entering into a future interest rate swap (the "Swap") with Bank contemporaneously with the closing of the loan, pursuant to which Borrower would receive the amount necessary to pay the interest expense due under the Loan (exclusive of default interest or other adjustments provided for in the loan documents) and would pay the amount that would be equal to the interest that would accrue on the Loan at a fixed rate. Bank is willing to provide this Swap to Borrower upon mutually agreeable terms. The actual rate of the Swap would be subject to market conditions at the time the Swap is consummated. The Swap would be governed by an ISDA Master Agreement and secured by the Collateral described herein. In the event that the Borrower exercises the Swap with Bank and in the event of prepayment in whole or in part of the Loan, the Swap must be unwound and a "breakage fee" may be due and payable to Bank.

PREPAYMENT. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without penalty, provided, however, that Borrower shall indemnify Bank against Bank's additional cost to break a LIBOR Agreement which is prepaid, if any ("Indemnified Loss or Expense"). The amount of such indemnified Loss or Expense shall be determined by Bank based upon the assumption that Bank funded one hundred percent (100%) of the Note in the London Interbank Market. Any prepayment shall include accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and all other sums due and payable hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to alter or affect any obligations that Borrower may have to Bank under any Swap (as defined herein). Should Borrower exercise the Swap with Bank, then in the event of prepayment in whole or in part of this Note, the Swap must be unwound. In the event that the Swap is unwound, a "breakage fee" may be due and payable to Bank. For purposes hereof the term "Swap" means an agreement between Borrower and Bank (or other counterparty acceptable to Bank) pursuant to which Borrower shall receive an amount necessary to pay the interest expenses due under this Note (exclusive of default interest or other adjustments provided for in the Loan Documents) and shall pay the amount that would be equal to the interest that would accrue on this Note at a fixed rate.

LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days.

The Borrower's right to cure shall be applicable only to curable defaults and shall not apply, without limitation, to Defaults based upon False Warranty or Cessation; Bankruptcy. Bank shall mail only one notice annually for the same type of nonmonetary Default.

WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. No waivers, amendments or modifications of this Note and other Loan Documents shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of Bank and Borrower. No waiver by Bank of any Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or the same Default on a future occasion. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Note and other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Except as set forth in the Loan Documents, each Borrower or any person liable under this Note waives presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of sale and all other notices of any kind.

MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

     THIS MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as "Mortgage") is made effective April 8, 2005, between TRADITION DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, whose address is c/o Core Communities, LLC, 10521 S.W. Village Station Drive, Suite 201, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34987, (referred to herein as "Mortgagor") and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, whose address is 200 E. Broward Boulevard, 2nd floor, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301("Bank").

W I T N E S S E T H :

     To secure payment and performance of obligations under (i) a Revolving Promissory Note (the "Note") of even date herewith, in the amount of FORTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000.00), made by Mortgagor; Horizons St. Lucie Development, LLC, a Florida limited liability company; Horizons Acquisition 7, LLC, a Florida limited liability company; and Tradition Mortgage, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively, "Borrower") payable to Bank, this Mortgage, other loan documents as defined in the Note (the "Loan Documents"), and swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. € 101) between Bank and Borrower, and any renewals, extensions, novations, or modifications of the foregoing (collectively the "Obligations"), and in consideration of these premises and for other consideration, Mortgagor does mortgage, grant and convey unto Bank, its successors and assigns, all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest now owned or hereafter acquired in and to each of the following (collectively, the "Property"): (i) all those certain tracts of land in St. Lucie County, Florida, more particularly described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made part hereof (the "Land"); (ii) all buildings and improvements now or hereafter erected on the Land; (iii) all fixtures, machinery, equipment and other articles of real, personal or mixed property attached to, situated or installed in or upon the Land or any buildings or improvements situated thereon, whether or not such real, personal or mixed property is or shall be affixed to the Land; (iv) all building materials, building machinery and building equipment delivered on site to the Land during the course of, or in connection with, any construction, repair or renovation of the buildings and improvements situated or to be situated thereon; (v) all leases, licenses or occupancy agreements of all or any part of the Land and all extensions, renewals, and modifications thereof, and any options, rights of first refusal or guarantees relating thereto; all rents, income, revenues, security deposits, issues, profits, awards and payments of any kind payable under the leases or otherwise arising from the Land; (vi) all contract rights, accounts receivable and general intangibles relating solely to the Land or the use, occupancy, maintenance, construction, repair or operation thereof; all management agreements, franchise agreements, utility agreements and deposits; all maps, plans, surveys and specifications; all warranties and guaranties; all permits, licenses and approvals; and all insurance policies; (vii) all estates, rights, tenements, hereditaments, privileges, rents, issues, profits, easements, and appurtenances of any kind benefiting the Land, including any and all easements for ingress and egress and access to and from the Land, whether public or private; and all water and mineral

1


 

rights; and (viii) all "Proceeds" of any of the above-described property, which term shall have the meaning given to it in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction where this Mortgage is recorded (the "UCC"), whether cash or non-cash, and including insurance proceeds and condemnation awards; and all replacements, substitutions and accessions thereof.

     In the event that Mortgagor is the owner of a leasehold estate with respect to any portion of the Property and Mortgagor obtains a fee estate in such portions of the Property, then, such fee estate shall automatically, and without further action of any kind on the part of the Mortgagor, be and become subject to the security title and lien of this Mortgage.

     TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all the estate, right, title and interest, in law and in equity, of Mortgagor's in and to the Property unto Bank, its successors and assigns, forever.

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the amount secured hereby at any time shall not exceed the principal amount of FORTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000.00) ("Original Maximum Principal Amount"), plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses in connection therewith.

     Mortgagor WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS that Mortgagor is lawfully seized of the Property, in fee simple, absolute, that Mortgagor has the legal right to convey and encumber the same, and that the Property is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than as set forth in the title policy provided to and approved by Bank and other matters as set forth in the Permitted Exceptions and contemplated by the Loan Documents and approved by Lender ("Permitted Exceptions"). Mortgagor further warrants and will forever defend all and singular the Property and title thereto to Bank and Bank's successors and assigns, against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

     PROVIDED ALWAYS that if (i) all the Obligations (including without limitation, all termination payments and any other amounts due under or in connection with any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. € 101) secured hereunder) are paid in full, (ii) each and every representation, warranty, agreement, covenant and condition of this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, are complied with and abided by, and (iii) any and all swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. € 101) secured hereunder have matured or been terminated, then this Mortgage and the estate hereby created shall cease and be null, void, and canceled of record.

     To protect the security of this Mortgage, Mortgagor further represents and agrees with Bank as follows:

     Payment of Obligations. That the Obligations shall be timely paid and performed.

     Revolving Note. Advances made under the Note or any future promissory notes secured hereby or other evidences of obligation now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage shall be in the form of a continual revolving line of credit whereby advances may be made, repaid and re-advanced from time to time but in no event shall the outstanding principal balance at any time exceed the Original Maximum Principal Amount. Bank shall maintain an account on its books, which shall evidence at all times the amount from time to time outstanding under the Note or any other promissory note now or hereafter made evidencing the indebtedness secured hereby. Advances made by Bank pursuant to the Mortgage, including without limitation, for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, costs for the protection of the Property, reasonable attorneys' fees (whether or not litigation has been commenced and in all trial, bankruptcy and

2


 

appellate proceedings) and court costs incurred in the collection of any or all of such sums of money and interest thereon in whatever manner the indebtedness may be evidenced or represented, shall be secured by this Mortgage until the Mortgage is satisfied of record.

     Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure not only existing Obligations, but also future advances, including obligations under swap agreements made, and future swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. € 101) entered into with Bank, within twenty (20) years of the date of this Mortgage pursuant to a Revolving Loan Agreement between Borrower and Bank of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") to the same extent as if such future advances and obligations under swap agreements are made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The principal amount (including any swap agreements and future advances) that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total amount so secured at any one time shall not exceed TWENTY MILLION AND 00/100 Dollars ($20,000.00.00), plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses due under this Mortgage and secured hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum principal amount secured hereby shall not exceed the Original Maximum Principal Amount. All covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall be applicable to all further advances made by Bank to Mortgagor under this future advance clause. Any such future advances, whether obligatory or to be made at the option of Bank, or otherwise, may be made either prior to or after the due date of the Note or any other note secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not execute any document that impairs or otherwise impacts the priority of any existing or future Obligations secured by this Mortgage.

     Grant of Security Interest in Personal Property. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the UCC and shall be deemed to constitute a fixture financing statement. Mortgagor hereby grants a security interest in any personal property included in the Property. On request of Bank, Mortgagor will execute one or more Financing Statements in form satisfactory to Bank and will pay all costs and expenses of filing the same in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed desirable by Bank. Bank is authorized to file Financing Statements relating to the Property without Mortgagor's signature where permitted by law. Mortgagor appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents necessary to perfect Bank's security interest on Mortgagor's behalf. The appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain outstanding.

Nothing herein obligates Bank to provide credit in excess of the Obligations.

     Leases, Subleases and Easements. Mortgagor shall maintain, enforce and cause to be performed all of the terms and conditions under any lease, sublease or easement which may constitute a portion of the Property. Mortgagor shall not, without the consent of Bank, enter into any new lease of all or any portion of the Property outside the criteria for said leases approved by Bank, agree to the cancellation or surrender under any lease of all or any portion of the Property, agree to prepayment of rents, issues or profits (other than rent paid at the signing of a lease or sublease), modify any such lease so as to shorten the term, decrease the rent, accelerate the payment of rent, or change the terms of any renewal option; and any such purported new lease, cancellation, surrender, prepayment or modification made without the consent of Bank shall be void as against Bank.

     Required Insurance. Mortgagor shall maintain with respect to the Property liability insurance providing coverage in such amount as Bank may require but in no event less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, with aggregate excess coverage of not less than

3


 

$10,000,000.00, naming Bank as an additional insured, and such other insurance as Bank may require from time to time.

     All property insurance policies shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer in form satisfactory to Bank that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor and the further agreement (within both the property and liability policies) of the insurer waiving rights of subrogation against Bank, and rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against Mortgagor.

     All insurance policies shall be in form, provide coverages, be issued by companies and be in amounts satisfactory to Bank. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, Mortgagor shall furnish Bank with evidence satisfactory to Bank that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required hereunder. All such policies shall provide that the policy will not be canceled or materially amended without at least 30 days prior written notice to Bank. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force, and furnish to Bank the policies of insurance required by this paragraph, Bank may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance in such amounts, at such premium, for such risks and by such means as Bank chooses, at Mortgagor's expense; provided however, Bank shall have no responsibility to obtain any insurance, but if Bank does obtain insurance, Bank shall have no responsibility to assure that the insurance obtained shall be adequate or provide any protection to Mortgagor.

     Insurance Proceeds. After occurrence of any loss to any of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Bank.

     Impositions; Escrow Deposit. Mortgagor will pay all taxes, levies, assessments and other fees and charges imposed upon or which may become a lien upon the Property under any law or ordinance (all of the foregoing collectively "Impositions") before they become delinquent and in any event in the same calendar year in which they first become due. Upon request of Bank after an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall add to each periodic payment required under the Note the amount estimated by Bank to be sufficient to enable Bank to pay, as they come due, all Impositions and insurance premiums which Mortgagor is required to pay hereunder. Payments requested under this provision shall be supplemented or adjusted as required by Bank from time to time. Such funds may be commingled with the general funds of Bank and shall not earn interest. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Bank may apply such funds to pay any of the Obligations.

     Use of Property. Mortgagor shall use and operate, and require its lessees or licensees to use and operate, the Property in compliance with all applicable laws (including, for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act) and ordinances, covenants, and restrictions, and with all applicable requirements of any lease or sublease now or hereafter affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not permit any unlawful use of the Property or any use that may give rise to a claim of forfeiture of any of the Property. Mortgagor shall not allow changes in the stated use of Property from that disclosed to Bank at the time of execution hereof or approved by Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Mortgagor shall not initiate or acquiesce to a zoning change of the Property without prior notice to, and written consent of, Bank.

     Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations. Mortgagor shall keep and maintain the Property in good condition and repair and fully protected from the elements to the satisfaction of Bank. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Bank in writing of any material loss, damage or adverse condition affecting the Property.

4


 

     Eminent Domain. Should the Property or any interest therein be taken or damaged by reason of any public use or improvement or condemnation proceeding ("Condemnation"), or should Mortgagor receive any notice or other information regarding such Condemnation, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Bank. In the event the Collateral for the Borrowing Base is negatively impacted resulting in an adjusted loss in the value of the Collateral, Bank shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief granted in connection with such Condemnation and, at its option, may commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings relating thereto. Mortgagor shall be entitled to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage after consulting with and obtaining Bank's prior written consent. All compensation, awards, and damages awarded to Mortgagor related to any Condemnation (the "Proceeds") in accordance herewith are hereby assigned to Bank and Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Bank may require. Bank shall have the option of applying or paying the Proceeds in the same manner as insurance proceeds as provided herein. Mortgagor appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse the Proceeds to Bank, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied.

     Environmental Condition of Property and Indemnity. Mortgagor warrants and represents to Bank, except as reported by Mortgagor to Bank in writing, that: (i) Mortgagor has inspected and is familiar with the environmental condition of the Property; (ii) the Property and Mortgagor, and any occupants of the Property, are in compliance with and shall continue to be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment and public health and safety as the same may be amended from time to time (as further defined in the Loan Agreement) ("Environmental Laws"); (iii) the Property is not and has never been used to generate, handle, treat, store or dispose of, in any quantity, oil, petroleum products, hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous waste, regulated substances or hazardous air pollutants in violation of Environmental Laws ("Hazardous Materials") in violation of any Environmental Laws; (iv) no Hazardous Materials (including asbestos or lead paint in any form) are located on or under the Property or emanate from the Property; (v) there are no unregistered underground storage tanks on the Property that are subject to any underground storage tank registration laws or regulations; (vi) no notice has been received with regard to any Hazardous Material on the Property; (vii) no action, investigation or proceeding is pending or to Mortgagor's knowledge threatened which seeks to enforce any right or remedy against Mortgagor or the Property under any Environmental Law; and (viii) all licenses, permits and other governmental or regulatory actions necessary for the Property to comply with Environmental Laws shall be obtained and maintained and Mortgagor shall assure compliance therewith.

     Mortgagor agrees to notify Bank immediately upon receipt of any citations, warnings, orders, notices, consent agreements, process or claims alleging or relating to violations of any Environmental Laws or to the environmental condition of the Property and shall conduct and complete all investigations and all cleanup actions necessary to comply with the Environmental Laws and to remove, in accordance with Environmental Laws, any Hazardous Material from the Property.

     Mortgagor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Bank from and against any and all damages, penalties, fines, claims, suits, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses, including attorneys’, consultants' or experts' fees of every kind and nature incurred, suffered by or asserted against Bank as a direct or indirect result of: (i) representations made by Mortgagor in

5


 

this Section being or becoming untrue in any material respect; (ii) Mortgagor's violation of or failure to meet the requirements of any Environmental Laws; or (iii) Hazardous Materials which, while the Property is subject to this Mortgage, exist on the Property but not for matters occurring after foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof. Bank shall have the right to arrange for or conduct environmental inspections of the Property from time to time (including the taking of soil, water, air or material samples). The cost of such inspections (i) made after Default, (ii) which are required by laws or regulations applicable to Bank, or (iii) which are ordered by Bank following Bank's good faith determination that Mortgagor may be in violation of any Environmental Laws and/or there are Hazardous Materials on the Property, shall be borne by Mortgagor. However, Mortgagor's indemnity shall not apply to any negligent or intentional act of Bank, its successors or assigns, which takes place after foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or satisfaction of this Mortgage. These indemnification obligations are in addition to General Indemnification provisions set forth hereafter. Mortgagor's Obligations under this section shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the repayment of the Obligations, a foreclosure of or exercise of power of sale under this instrument, a delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a cancellation or termination of record of this instrument and the transfer of the Property.

     Appraisals. Mortgagor agrees that Bank may obtain an appraisal of the Property when required by the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, any other regulatory agency or at such other times as Bank may reasonably require. Such appraisals shall be performed by an independent third party appraiser selected by Bank. The cost of such appraisals shall be borne by Mortgagor. If requested by Bank, Mortgagor shall execute an engagement letter addressed to the appraiser selected by Bank. Mortgagor's failure or refusal to sign such an engagement letter, however, shall not impair Bank's right to obtain such an appraisal. Mortgagor agrees to pay the cost of such appraisal within 10 days after receiving an invoice for such appraisal.

     Inspections. Bank, or its representatives or agents, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon any part of the Property for the purpose of inspecting the Property and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform under the terms of this Mortgage.

     Liens and Subrogation. Mortgagor shall pay and promptly discharge all liens, claims and encumbrances upon the Property except for those described in EXHIBIT B or those matters contemplated by the Loan Documents and approved by Bank. Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, claim or encumbrance, provided: (i) such contest suspends the collection thereof or there is no danger of the Property being sold or forfeited while such contest is pending; (ii) Mortgagor first deposits with Bank a bond or other security satisfactory to Bank in such amounts as Bank shall reasonably require; and (iii) Mortgagor thereafter diligently proceeds to cause such lien, claim or encumbrance to be removed and discharged.

     Bank shall be subrogated to any liens, claims and encumbrances against Mortgagor or the Property that are paid or discharged through payment by Bank or with loan proceeds, notwithstanding the record cancellation or satisfaction thereof.

     Waiver of Mortgagor's Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Property, (ii) in any way extending the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Note or the debt evidenced thereby or any of the other

6


 

Obligations, rights under the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States and any similar rights under the constitutions of any state, and any rights to hearing prior to the exercise by Bank of any right, power, or remedy herein provided to Bank.

     To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or seek to take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any exemption (including homestead exemption), appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Mortgagor for themselves and their respective heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waive and release all rights of valuation, appraisement, redemption, stay of execution, the benefit of all exemption laws, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Except for notices to be provided in accordance with the Loan Documents, Mortgagor further waives any and all notices including, without limitation, notice of intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Obligations.

     Payments by Bank. In the event of default in the timely payment or performance of any of the Obligations not cured within the applicable cure period, Bank, at its option and without any duty on its part to determine the validity or necessity thereof, may pay the sums for which Mortgagor is obligated. Further, after an Event of a Default that has not been cured by Mortgagor within any applicable cure period, Bank may pay such sums as Bank deems appropriate for the protection and maintenance of the Property including, without limitation, sums to pay Impositions and other levies, assessments or liens, maintain insurance, make repairs, secure the Property, maintain utility service, intervene in any condemnation, make advances under a construction loan to enable completion of construction and pay attorneys' fees and other fees and costs to enforce this Mortgage or protect the lien hereof (including foreclosure) or collect the Obligations, without limitation, including those incurred in any proceeding including Bankruptcy or arbitration. Any amounts so paid shall bear interest at the default rate stated in the Note and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

     Indemnification. Mortgagor shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Bank from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Damages") imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Bank on account of (i) the Loan Documents or any failure or alleged failure of Mortgagor to comply with any of the terms or representations of this Mortgage; (ii) any claim of loss or damage to the Property or any injury or claim of injury to, or death of, any person or property that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Property or the use, occupancy or operation thereof (hereinafter collectively "Loss") prior to a judgment of foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof unless said Loss is a result of the use, occupancy or operation of the Property by Mortgagor prior to said foreclosure judgment or deed in lieu thereof, (iii) any failure or alleged failure of Mortgagor to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property or the use, occupancy or operation of the Property (including, without limitation, the failure to pay any taxes, fees or other charges), provided that such indemnity shall be effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Bank in excess of any net proceeds received by it from any insurance of Mortgagor (other than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages, (iv) any Damages whatsoever by reason of any alleged action, obligation or undertaking of Bank (other than Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct) relating in any way to or any matter contemplated by the Loan Documents (v) any claim for brokerage fees or such other commissions by or through Mortgagor relating to the Property or any other Obligations, or (vi) any and all liability

7


 

arising from any leases related to the Property prior to a judgment of foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof unless said liability is a result of Mortgagor's actions or inaction relating to the lease prior to said foreclosure judgment or deed in lieu thereof. Nothing contained herein shall require Mortgagor to indemnify Bank for any Damages resulting from Bank's gross negligence or its willful and wrongful acts. The indemnity provided for herein shall survive payment of the Obligations and shall extend to the officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents of Bank. In the event the Bank incurs any Damages arising out of or in any way relating to the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents (including any of the matters referred to in this section), the amounts of such Damages shall be added to the Obligations, shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the interest rate borne by the Obligations from the date incurred until paid and shall be payable on demand.

     Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Bank all the leases, rents, issues and profits of the Property (collectively "Rents"). Although this assignment is effective immediately, so long as no Default exists, Bank gives to and confers upon Mortgagor the privilege under a revocable license to collect as they become due, but not prior to accrual, the Rents and to demand, receive and enforce payment, give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and sue in the name of Mortgagor for all such Rents. Mortgagor represents there has been no prior assignment of leases or Rents, and agrees not to further assign such leases or Rents. Upon any occurrence of Default, the license granted to Mortgagor herein shall be automatically revoked without further notice to or demand upon Mortgagor until such Default is cured, and Bank shall have the right, in its discretion, without notice, by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Property, (ii) notify tenants, subtenants and any property manager to pay Rents to Bank or its designee, and upon receipt of such notice such persons are authorized and directed to make payment as specified in the notice and disregard any contrary direction or instruction by Mortgagor, and (iii) in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect Rents, including those past due, and apply Rents, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys' fees, to the Obligations in such order and manner as Bank may determine or as otherwise provided for herein. Bank's exercise of any one or more of the foregoing rights shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default hereunder. The terms of this Section are in addition to those terms set forth in that certain Absolute Assignment of Lessor's Interest in Leases and Rents executed by Mortgagor to Bank of even date herewith.

     Due on Sale or Further Encumbrance or Transfer of an Interest in Mortgagor. Without the prior written consent of Bank in each instance unless the Mortgagor releases the portion of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Bank's requirements and the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not (i) sell, convey, transfer or encumber the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, whether legal or equitable, (ii) cause or permit any transfer of the Property or any part thereof, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or (iii) enter into any agreement or transaction to transfer, or accomplish in form or substance a transfer, of the Property without releasing such portion of the property from the lien of this Mortgage at the time such property is to be conveyed. A "transfer" of the Property includes: (a) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein; (b) the execution of an installment sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or any portion of the Property; (c) if Mortgagor or any general partner or member of Mortgagor, is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, the transfer (whether in one transaction or a series of transactions) of any stock, partnership, limited liability company or other ownership interests in such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or entity including, without limitation, changes in stockholders, partners, members, managers, trustees, beneficiaries, or their respective interests; (d) if Mortgagor, or

8


 

any general partner or member of Mortgagor, is a corporation, the creation or issuance of new stock by which an aggregate of more than 10% of such corporation's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now stockholders other than to an entity controlled by Guarantor Core Communities, LLC and (e) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant or agricultural lease thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of or the grant of a security interest in and to any Leases.

     Bank's consent to any conveyance or encumbrance may be conditioned upon an increase in the interest rate specified in the Note (or other Obligations), an extension or curtailment of the maturity of the Obligations, or other modification of the Note or this instrument.

     Remedies of Bank on Default. Failure of Mortgagor or any other person liable to (i) timely pay (and such nonpayment is not cured within five (5) days of the due date) or (ii) perform any of the Obligations (and such nonperformance is not cured within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice by Mortgagor of such nonperformance provided, however, if such nonperformance is not curable within said twenty (20) day period and Mortgagor is diligently pursuing said cure, the cure period shall be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days, is a default ("Default") under this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence of Default the following remedies are available, without limitation, to Bank: (i) Bank may exercise any or all of Bank's remedies under this Mortgage or other Loan Documents including, without limitation, acceleration of the maturity of all payments and Obligations, including any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. € 101) with Bank (provided that the early termination shall be governed by the default and termination provisions of said swap agreements); (ii) Bank may take immediate possession of the Property or any part thereof (which Mortgagor agrees to surrender to Bank) and manage, control or lease the same to such persons and at such rental as it may deem proper and collect and apply Rents to the payment of: (a) the Obligations, together with all costs and attorneys' fees; (b) all Impositions and any other levies, assessments or liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the Obligations, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and (c) the cost of all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property and the management and operation thereof; all in such order or priority as Bank in its sole discretion may determine. The taking of possession shall not prevent concurrent or later proceedings for the foreclosure sale of the Property; and (iii) Bank may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for all purposes including, without limitation, to manage and operate the Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents therefrom as hereinabove provided. In the event of such application, Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a receiver, and agrees that a receiver may be appointed without notice to Mortgagor, without regard to whether Mortgagor has committed waste or permitted deterioration of the Property, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, and without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or any other person, firm or corporation who or which may be liable for the payment of the Obligations; (iv) Bank may exercise all the remedies of a mortgagee as provided by law and in equity including, without limitation, foreclosure upon this Mortgage and sale of the Property, or any part of the Property, at public sale conducted according to applicable law (referred to as "Sale") and conduct additional Sales as may be required until all of the Property is sold or the Obligations are satisfied; (v) With respect to any portion of the Property governed by the UCC, Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party thereunder. Bank may elect to foreclose upon any Property that is fixtures under law applicable to foreclosure of interests in real estate or law applicable to personal property; (vi) Bank may bid at Sale and may accept, as successful bidder, credit of the bid amount against the Obligations as payment of any portion of the purchase price; and (vii) Bank shall apply the proceeds of Sale, first to any fees or attorney fees permitted Bank by law in connection with Sale, second to expenses of foreclosure,

9


 

publication, and sale permitted Bank by law in connection with Sale, third to the Obligations, and any remaining proceeds as required by law.

     Miscellaneous Provisions. Mortgagor agrees to the following: (i) All remedies available to Bank with respect to this Mortgage or available at law or in equity shall be cumulative and may be pursued concurrently or successively. No delay by Bank in exercising any remedy shall operate as a waiver of that remedy or of any Default. Any payment by Bank or acceptance by Bank of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver by Bank of any Default; (ii) Mortgagor represents that Mortgagor (a) is (1) an adult individual and is sui juris, or (2) a corporation, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, and is authorized to do business in each other jurisdiction wherein its ownership of property or conduct of business legally requires such organization (b) has the power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as now contemplated; and (c) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, and by all necessary action has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of, all of its obligations under this Mortgage and any other Loan Document to which it is a party. (iii) The provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagor, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Property or any part thereof, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns and any future holder of the Note or other Obligations; (iv) Any notices, demands or requests shall be sufficiently given Mortgagor if in writing and mailed or delivered to the address of Mortgagor shown above or to another address as provided herein and to Bank if in writing and mailed or delivered to Wachovia Bank, National Association, at the address shown above, or such other address as Bank may specify from time to time and in the event that Mortgagor changes Mortgagor's address at any time prior to the date the Obligations are paid in full, that party shall promptly give written notice of such change of address by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, all charges prepaid; (v) The captions or headings at the beginning of each paragraph hereof are for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Mortgage; (vi) If the lien of this Mortgage is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligations, the unsecured portion of the Obligations shall be completely paid (and all payments made shall be deemed to have first been applied to payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligations) prior to payment of the secured portion of the Obligations and if any clause, provision or obligation hereunder is determined invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Mortgage shall be construed and enforced as if such clause, provision or obligation had not been contained herein; (vii) This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the jurisdiction where this Mortgage is recorded; (viii) Mortgagor by execution and Bank by acceptance of this Mortgage agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof.

     Minimum Standards. In addition to the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents, all surveys, insurance, title policies, construction documents, environmental reports, payment and performance bonds, and any other due diligence or additional documents required in connection with this Loan, shall comply with Bank's minimum standards in place from time to time for such documents, which shall be provided in writing by Bank to Borrower upon request.

     Joinders and Consents. Mortgagee agrees, upon request of Mortgagor, to join in and consent to any plat for the Real Estate and any utility easements, dedications, and to consent to any property association documents or declarations, development agreements or similar instruments affecting the Real Estate and needed by the Mortgagor in connection with the development of the Real Estate as contemplated by the Loan Documents, at no cost or liability to Mortgagee, except for the cost of review of such documentation by Mortgagor's attorney

10


 

which shall be payable by Mortgagor, for the sole purpose of subjecting the lien of this Mortgage to the effects of such instruments, provided that such instruments are in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagee's reasonable discretion reasonably exercised. All homeowner association documents or declarations, development agreements or similar instruments affecting the Real Estate shall contain customary provisions subordinating the lien and encumbrance of any assessments or other charges provided for thereunder to the lien of this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to join in or consent to any such documents if doing so would materially diminish the value of the Property or require Mortgagee to directly assume any of Mortgagor's obligations under such instruments. Mortgagor hereby agrees not to relocate any conservation easements currently off the Real Estate as referenced on Exhibit B attached hereto to the Real Estate.

     WAIVER OF EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. MORTGAGOR AND BANK AGREE THAT THEY SHALL NOT HAVE A REMEDY OF PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES AGAINST THE OTHER IN ANY DISPUTE AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM TO PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THEY HAVE NOW OR WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION OR JUDICIALLY.

     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
