     THIS REVOLVING WORKING CAPITAL, LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT AND RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
BORROWING BASE FACILITY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth above,
by and between Borrower and Lender, with reference to the following facts:

     A. Lender has approved a revolving loan facility (the “Loan” or the “Facility”) for Borrower
under which Borrower may request funding for the acquisition or refinance of land, development
thereof, and the construction of Units (as hereinafter defined) located in one or more Approved
Projects (as hereafter defined) in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas, and for working capital purposes. The availability of such credit for new
projects hereunder is subject to the Expiration Date identified above.

     B. The total amount of the Facility is the Maximum Facility Amount shown above, the
availability of which is subject to certain sub-limits and restrictions, including the
establishment of a Maximum Available Amount” that is determined from time to time based on the
current value of the underlying collateral and certain other restrictions as set forth on
SCHEDULE 1.

     C. As of the date hereof, Lender has agreed to advance funds under the Facility in
connection with the Project identified in Section I of SCHEDULE 1 hereto, which
shall constitute an Approved project, as defined below. The approval by Lender of additional

and the disbursement of funds in connection therewith shall be upon Borrower’s request and at
Lender’s sole discretion, in accordance with the provisions hereinafter contained.

     D. Except for funds advanced under the Working Capital Line, funds advanced under the
Facility shall be secured by one or more mortgages and or deeds of trust, as applicable, in a form
satisfactory to Lender (collectively, and as amended from time to time, the “Mortgages”) creating
first priority liens or deeds of trust encumbering the Property (the “Property”) included or to be
included within an Approved Project for which Borrower anticipates an immediate need for financing
hereunder. In lieu of recording additional Mortgages to encumber additional Properties to be

may be modified and amended, by a mortgage modification and spreader agreement, in form and content
acceptable to Lender, to encumber such additional Property as funds under the Facility are advanced
in connection with such additional Property.

     E. The repayment of funds advanced from time to time under the Working Capital Line shall
be (i) guaranteed by the Working Capital Line Guarantor and (ii) secured by a pledge of, and

maintain records reflecting the disbursed and un-disbursed portions of the Maximum Facility Amount
and Maximum Available

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

Amount, A&D Land Allocations, A&D Project Allocations, Net A&D Allocations, and payments received
and applied to the outstanding Facility, interest accrued, and other matters related to the
Facility and the Note, which shall be conclusive evidence of amounts owing thereunder absent
manifest error.

          2.2 Interest and Payment Provisions.

               2.2.1 Interest and Payment Provisions. Interest rates and payment provisions shall be as set
forth in the Note and as further described in Section 2.2.3.

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

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

               2.2.3 Principal Payments. In addition to the interest and principal payment requirements of
the Note, Borrower shall make principal payments as needed from time to time in order to ensure
that the principal amount outstanding under the Facility at no time exceeds the Maximum Facility
Amount, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Draws at no time exceeds the Maximum
Available Amount, or any applicable Sub-Limits are exceeded. Further, if there exists Unsatisfied
Curtailment Requirements such that, after the application of such principal payments, the
Collateral Basis Amounts (as further described in SCHEDULE 1) for all Eligible Property Types
included in the Maximum Available Amount are insufficient to cover all Unsatisfied Curtailment
Requirements and the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall make an
additional principal payment sufficient to satisfy all Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements, which
shall be applied by Lender to the Unsatisfied Curtailment Requirements, and to the outstanding
Facility and shall further comply with the provisions of
Section 2.5 below. Provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred (and not been waived, in writing, by Lender), principal payments
received by Lender shall be applied to the Facility first, to the extent applicable, in accordance
with the preceding sentence and then as directed by Borrower. Following the occurrence of any Event
of Default, which shall not have been waived, in writing, by Lender, Lender may apply such
principal receipts in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion.

          2.3 Facility Fees and Costs. Borrower shall pay, either from proceeds of the Facility or from
Borrower’s own funds, at Lender’s discretion, the nonrefundable Facility Fees in the amounts and in
the manner specified in SCHEDULE 1. Borrower shall pay, within five (5) business days
following Lender’s demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to the Facility, including
without limitation: title insurance premiums, appraisal fees, recording costs, third-party
architect/engineer fees, fees for plan and cost reviews, if any, by third-party consultants, and
attorneys’ fees.

          2.4 Extension of Expiration Date. Upon each annual anniversary of the date hereof, at the
sole discretion and option of Lender, the Expiration Date may be extended in writing for a period
of twelve (12) months, subject to Lender’s review of the latest annual fiscal year end financial
information, and all supplemental current financial statements provided by Borrower to Lender and
such other information as Lender may deem material, and on such terms as Lender may require,
including payment of any applicable Facility Fee (See
Schedule 1 hereto).

          2.5 Letter of Credit. From time to time, upon the request of Borrower, Lender shall issue
Letter(s) of Credit to or for the benefit of Borrower or any Project Guarantor; provided,
however, that the issuance of each Letter of Credit by Lender shall be subject to the
approval of Lender in Lender’s sole discretion. Each such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry
date no later than thirty (30) days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date. In the event that
the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus (ii) unadvanced A&D Land
Allocations and unadvanced Net A&D Allocations, plus (iii) the face amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit issued to or for the benefit of Borrower or any Project Guarantor, exceeds the
sum of (a) the amount of the Working Capital Line and (b) the Collateral Basis Amounts for all
Eligible Property Types included in the Maximum Available Amount after the application of any
principal payments required by Section 2.2.3 above, Borrower shall immediately deposit with
Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount of such excess, which shall be deposited into an account
established with Lender, which account shall be assigned as additional collateral for the

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

Note. Thereafter, Borrower shall maintain a balance in such account in the amount of such excess,
as such excess may increase or decrease over time in conjunction with changes in the Maximum
Available Amount and availability under the Working Capital Line.

          2.6 Working Capital Line. Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section
4 or otherwise in this Agreement, upon Borrower’s submission of Working Capital Line Draw
Requests, Lender shall disburse Draws under the Working Capital Line without regard to any
Collateral Basis Amount, provided that the amount of any such disbursement shall not exceed the
limitation set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof. At Borrower’s request at any time during the
term of the Facility, Borrower may irrevocably elect, by written notice to Lender, to terminate the
Working Capital Line. Effective upon receipt of any such termination notice, Lender’s obligation to
disburse any further Working Capital Line Draws shall cease and the Working Capital Line shall be
reduced to the then outstanding principal balance thereof, as further reduced by the amount of each
principal payment subsequently received by Lender and applied by Lender to the Working Capital
Line, as provided in this Agreement. Upon the termination of the Working Capital Line and the
repayment, in full, of the Working Capital Line, Lender shall (a) cancel the Working Capital Line
Guarantor’s Guaranty, (b) terminate Lender’s security interests in the Working Capital Line
Collateral and (c) cancel and return to the Working Capital Line Guarantor the Working Capital Line
Guarantor’s Guaranty and the Working Capital Line Collateral.

     3. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING AND ADVANCEMENT OF FUNDS FOR
PROPERTY. Lender’s obligation to advance any funds under this Facility with respect to any existing
Approved Project or A&D Land, and Lender’s subsequent obligation to advance funds with respect to
any additional Property, shall be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and subject to approval
by Lender’s credit administration department and (unless waived or deferred by Lender, in writing)
the satisfaction, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, of each of the following conditions for the
particular Property providing the basis for which Borrower is requesting funds:

          3.1 Approved Project. The additional Property shall either have been approved as A&D Land by
Lender, in its sole discretion, or shall be located in an Approved Project, and for A&D Projects,
Lender shall have approved Borrower’s plans for the current stage of development of such A&D
Project proposed as additional Property hereunder. For A&D Land, it shall be sufficient to indicate
Lender’s approval by its execution of an A&D and Addendum. For an A&D Project, it shall be
sufficient to indicate Lender’s approval by its execution of an A&D Project Addendum, which may
contain special conditions precedent to any or all advances hereunder.

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

          3.3 Recording of Mortgages. A Mortgage (together with an assignment of leases, rents,
development and similar rights and such other security documents as are customary in the applicable
jurisdiction) shall have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction and Borrower or the
applicable Project Guarantor shall have paid all recording fees and taxes

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

(excluding real estate taxes not then due and payable) and removed all encumbrances (a) necessary
to perfect the Mortgage as first lien or first deed of trust (as applicable) on the applicable
Property and (b) not approved by Lender, in its sole discretion.

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

          3.5 Appraisals and Market Studies. For A&D Land, Lender shall have obtained an Appraisal
setting forth the as-is market value of the undeveloped A&D Land. For A&D Projects, Lender shall
have obtained an Appraisal setting forth the as-is market value of the undeveloped A&D Land and the
bulk discounted market value of the Developed Lots to be developed in the A&D Project. For Units,
Lender shall have obtained a master appraisal on base model types and lots with option value
addendum for each Approved Project which shall be utilized throughout the period of sales of the
Units, but updated if and when requested by Lender at Borrower’s expense. In addition, Borrower
shall deliver to Lender a then current market study for the Units to be constructed in such
Project. Each such Appraisal and market study shall demonstrate a market value acceptable to Lender
utilizing Lender’s then current policies and guidelines. Further, at any time, Lender shall have
the right to re-appraise any portion of the Property at Borrower’s expense and adjust the
Collateral Basis Amounts for such portions of the

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

Property in the event such re-appraisal indicates a decline in the market value of the re-appraised
portions of the Property.

          3.6 Plans/Permits. For A&D Projects (i.e. for Draws other than simply to finance or
refinance A&D Land), Lender shall have been provided with Plans and Specifications, acceptable to
Lender and its third party consultant, for the applicable phase of development or construction and,
for A&D Land on which Borrower intends to begin Unit construction, a final plat map, in a form
satisfactory in all respects to Lender, shall have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction.
In addition, Borrower shall have provided Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower
or the applicable Project Guarantor has obtained or will obtain (as determined in Lender’s
reasonable satisfaction) all permits and approvals necessary to allow Borrower or the applicable
Project Guarantor to proceed with the development of the A&D Project or the construction of
individual Units in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

          3.7 Third Party Contracts. Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor shall have provided

breakdown and itemization of all hard and soft costs for the applicable Approved Project and the
sources for payment of such costs from the Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor. This
itemization shall include: (i) a summary page indicating costs of land, site work, hard and soft
costs of construction, and (ii) detailed schedules supporting the construction costs.

          3.9 Zoning and Concurrency. Borrower shall have provided Lender with evidence satisfactory
to Lender that the Property has zoning and concurrency approvals which will permit the development
and construction of the applicable Approved Project.

          3.10
Search. Lender shall have received satisfactory federal and state tax lien, judgment, UCC, and pending litigation search for Borrower and the applicable Project Guarantor for
the state and county in which Borrower and such Project Guarantor was formed as well as for the

Approved Project and that the respective lines and treatment or generating plants are of adequate
size and capacity to serve the Approved Project.

          3.14 Survey. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a current survey

Property), properly certified and in a form acceptable to Lender, showing such Property to be free
from encroachments and otherwise acceptable to Lender.

          3.15 Soil Tests, Environmental Report. Borrower shall have delivered to Lender copies of all
soil analysis reports, all soil compaction tests, all environmental reports or statements, and all

questionnaire, in form and content acceptable to Lender, the answers to which must be acceptable to
Lender, in it sole discretion. Further, Lender shall have received and approved from an approved
engineer hired by Borrower, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment together with a Reliance Letter
thereto issued in favor of Lender (if said assessment is not addressed to Lender), in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, as determined in its sole and absolute discretion, indicating,
that the Property in the subdivision proposed for approval is free from risk, in Lender’s sole
judgment, from all hazardous substances, toxic substances, or hazardous wastes as defined by any
federal, state, or local law, statute, ordinance, or regulation and is free of all other
contamination which, even if not so regulated, is known to pose a hazard to the health of any
person on or about the Property, and unless specifically approved by Lender, that the subject
Property is not located within a “Wetlands” or “Flood Plain” area, and contains no underground
storage tanks or oil or gas wells.

          3.16 Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall have paid all legal, appraisal, and inspection fees;
title insurance and survey costs; recording and filing fees; documentary stamp, intangible or other
applicable mortgage taxes; real estate commissions; hazard and liability insurance and property

incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan or the preparation and recording or filing of the
Loan Documents. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless against any and all claims for
such fees, charges, commissions, taxes, or other expenses of any kind in any way connected with the
Loan.

          3.17 Notice of Commencement. For each Unit (or building within which such Unit is situated),
Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor shall have prepared and recorded a Notice of
Commencement in accordance with Chapter 713, Part I, Florida Statutes, or any similar requirement
under the lien laws of the State in which the applicable Property is situated.

          3.18 Financial Reports and Covenant Compliance. Borrower, and the reporting parties set forth

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

          3.19 Default. No Event of Default shall have occurred (which shall not have been waived, in
writing, by Lender) and no event shall have occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of
time, could become an Event of Default.

          3.20 Other Documents. Borrower shall have provided Lender with such other reports,
certificates, documents, and instruments regarding Borrower, the applicable Project Guarantor and

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

               3.21.6 Other Conditions. Borrower and Guarantors shall have fulfilled each and every other
condition to any initial Draw (i.e. to finance or refinance A & D Land) or any subsequent Draw set
forth in SCHEDULE 1 attached hereto or the applicable A&D Land Addendum or A&D Project Addendum.

     4. A&D DRAWS/BORROWING BASE DRAWS/WORKING CAPITAL LINE
DRAWS. Lender shall make Draws available to Borrower for the purposes and in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Agreement, and in the case of all Draws other than Working Capital
Line Draws, based on Borrower’s most current Collateral Verification Certificate, in each case,
subject to verification or adjustment based on Lender’s inspections and review as set forth below,
and provided that the total amount outstanding under the Facility shall at no time exceed the
Maximum Facility Amount and Maximum Available Amount as defined in SCHEDULE 1. Lender may
impose such additional conditions on such Draws as Lender may subsequently determine are necessary
to insure that the proceeds of the Facility are applied to the purposes contemplated hereunder.

          4.1 Draw Procedures.

               4.1.1 Collateral Verification Certificate Report. Borrower shall submit periodic
Collateral Verification Certificates no less than one (1) time per month and within twenty (20)
days of month end for the month being reported, on a day Lender is open for business at the
address set forth above, that shall cover all amounts being requested hereunder for A&D Draws and
Borrowing Base Draws by providing Lender with such information, authorizations, and documents as
Lender may request, including but not limited to Borrower’s A&D Draw Request, a spreadsheet report
for all A&D Project Budget Costs and related costs incurred, and a report detailing and listing all
costs by category (“Borrower’s Job Cost Reports”) by Approved Project and Borrowing Base Draw
Request. If all conditions to Draws set forth herein and in the applicable Loan Documents have been
satisfied, including each of the conditions set forth in
Section 3 above and in SCHEDULE 1
hereof, Lender will make available the difference between the current outstanding principal amount
of the Facility and the Maximum Available Amount as directed from time to time by Borrower.

               4.1.2 All Draws. Lender shall not be required to fund any Draw unless, on the date such
Draw is requested to be made (which shall not be less than 5 business days after Lender’s receipt
of the applicable Draw request), each of the following conditions are satisfied:

                    4.1.2.1 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained
herein or in any of the applicable Loan Documents shall be true and correct, in all material
respects;

                    4.1.2.2 No Default. Borrower and Guarantors shall be in full compliance with all terms,
conditions, and covenants set forth herein or in any of the applicable Loan Documents, no Event of
Default shall have occurred (which shall not have been waived, in writing, by Lender) and no event
shall have occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time would become an Event of
Default;

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

                    4.1.2.3 No Illegality. No change in applicable Laws, or in the interpretation of such Laws
shall have occurred which would make it illegal for Lender to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, and the making of any advance hereunder would not
cause Lender to exceed its then current loans-to-one-borrower limitation; and

                    4.1.2.4 Title Endorsements. If required by Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, Lender has received (i) such continuation endorsements and date-down endorsements to the
title policies issued pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender as Lender determines in its sole discretion necessary to insure the priority of the
applicable Mortgages as valid first liens on the Property described in the most recent Collateral
Verification Certificate or (ii) an unconditional, irrevocable written commitment by the applicable
title insurance company to issue such endorsements.

          4.2 Project Information. Borrower shall provide all information requested by Lender, in form
and content satisfactory to Lender, prior to any Draw hereunder, including without limitation:
Budgets for all Approved Projects under development or Units under construction, appraisals,
surveys, recorded plats, plans and specifications, copies of all applicable permits and
governmental approvals obtained for the particular Approved Project, copies of all recorded
declarations or covenants affecting that Approved Project, insurance policies in form and amount
reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Lender,
environmental reports, borrowing resolutions, evidence of corporate or other status, current
contractor’s licenses, lien waivers or subordinations, evidence of all required surety bonding and
insurance coverages, plan and cost reviews performed by an independent inspection agent, and all
other documents and information that Lender may require. Date down endorsements to title insurance
policies and/or lien releases may be required as a condition to making any Draw (other than a
Working Capital Line Draw).

          4.3 Property Inspections.

               4.3.1 A&D Project Inspections. Lender may, at Lender’s option, inspect A&D Projects at
such intervals and as often as Lender may desire but not less than quarterly, and Lender will not
withhold funding for A&D Draw Requests pending the inspection report next due. Should inspections
of the A&D Projects indicate that the A&D Draw Requests portion of the Collateral Verification
Certificate overstate the values, costs, or completion percentages, in addition to any other remedy
afforded Lender, Lender may increase its frequency or scope of its inspections.

               4.3.2 Lot and Unit Inspections. Lender may, at Lender’s option, inspect Developed Lots and
Units securing the Facility at such intervals and as often as Lender may desire. Lender shall have
sole discretion as to which portion and how much of the Property to inspect. Should inspections of
the Property indicate that the Collateral Verification Certificates overstate the values, costs, or
completion percentages, in addition to any other remedy afforded Lender, Lender may increase its
sample size, frequency, or scope of its inspections.

               4.3.3 All Inspections. Borrower shall cooperate and shall cause Guarantors to cooperate
with Lender in arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender or

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

any third-party consultant retained by Lender of the progress of the development and construction
from time to time, including an examination of (i) the Approved Project improvements; (ii) all
materials to be used in the development and construction; (iii) all Plans and Specifications; (iv)
any contract, bill of sale, statement, receipt, or voucher in connection with the Approved Project
improvements; (v) all work done, labor performed, materials furnished in and about the Approved
Projects; (vi) all books, contracts, and records with respect to the Approved Projects; and (vii)
any other Construction Document. Borrower shall cooperate and shall cause the Project Guarantors to
cooperate with Lender to enable Lender to perform its functions hereunder and shall promptly comply
with Lender’s requirements and correct any deficiency regarding the construction of the Approved
Projects or the progress thereof. Draw inspections shall be made by in-house Lender personnel or by
a third-party architect/engineer, as required by Lender. Borrower shall pay inspection costs of
Lender within twenty (20) days of demand. If inspections of the Property indicate that the
Collateral Verification Certificate overstates the values, costs, or completion percentages, in
addition to any other remedy afforded Lender, Lender may increase its sample size, frequency or
scope of its inspections. In such event Borrower shall pay an additional inspection fee
commensurate with the increased inspections.

          4.4 Draw Amounts.

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

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

maintain records of all Approved Project invoices and Lender, at its discretion, may require
submission by Borrower of the invoices set forth on the spreadsheets.

               4.4.2 Borrowing Base Draws. The allowed amount of each Borrowing Base Draw Request shall be
subject to the Maximum Facility Amount, the Maximum Available Amount and all applicable Sub-Limits
and determined by the information provided by Borrower and Guarantors. Borrower shall not be
entitled to any Draws based on the information in a particular Collateral Verification Certificate
until Lender has had at least five (5) full business days to review and confirm the information
provided by Borrower in that certificate, subject to adjustment based on Lender’s inspections;
provided, however, that Lender’s failure to require adjustment within such time frame shall in no
way limit Lender’s right to require adjustments thereafter prior to the time funds are to be
available in order to allow time for inspection. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing
disbursement schedule may be different than the disbursement schedule contained in Borrower’s or
the Project Guarantors’ construction contracts or subcontracts and Borrower acknowledges that it is
its responsibility to resolve any such differences directly with the applicable contractors or
subcontractors. The Maximum Available Amount is based on the applicable Collateral Basis Amounts
for the Eligible Property Types calculated as set forth on SCHEDULE 1. In reviewing
Borrower’s Collateral Verification Certificate, determinations of “value,” “cost,” and “percentage
of completion” shall be made by Lender in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with its
standard credit procedures. In the event the percentage of completion or other information relating
to a particular Eligible Property Type as determined by Lender varies from the information provided
by Borrower in its most current Collateral Verification Certificate, Lender may, at any time and in
its sole discretion, use the information as determined by Lender to calculate the Collateral Basis
Amount.

               4.4.3 Working Capital Line Draws. The allowed amount of each Working Capital Line Draw
shall be subject to the Maximum Facility Amount and shall in no event exceed the difference between
$15,000,000.00 and the outstanding principal balance allocated to the Working Capital Line from
time to time.

               4.4.4 Application of Draws. Although Borrowing Base Draws shall not be made hereunder on a
line-item or paid invoice basis, the parties intend that all such proceeds of the Facility be
applied first to pay all costs incurred for the refinance or purchase and development of the
Property and the construction of single family residences thereon, as applicable, and that A&D
Draws and Borrowing Base Draws be used to pay all such costs before being used to repay Borrower or
any Guarantor any portion of their equity in the Property. Working Capital Line Draws may be used
by Borrower for general working capital purposes; provided, however, that in no
event shall proceeds of the Working Capital Line (or the Facility) be used for (a) personal,
consumer, family, household, educational, agricultural or similar uses, (b) land banking or land
speculation or (c) the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of
Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any
party for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which
violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors. Lender shall have no
obligation to ensure that proceeds of the Facility are properly applied to purposes of the Facility
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the sole obligation to
ensure proper allocation of all Draws hereunder. Despite the foregoing, Lender shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to disburse Facility proceeds directly to any unpaid supplier of
labor, materials, equipment, services, or supplies whose claim

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

has or may become a lien against any portion of the Property, or to require that Draws be made in
the form of dual-payee checks or other restricted forms of transfer.

     5. MANNER OF CONSTRUCTION.

          5.1 Conformance with Plans and Laws. All work shall be performed and the Approved Projects
and Units shall be developed and constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, free from all
material defects in materials or workmanship. Development of Approved Projects and construction and
use of the Units shall conform in all material respects to the applicable Plans and Specifications
and all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules relating thereto
(“Laws”), including, without limitation, all building, zoning, planning, subdivision, fire,
traffic, safety, health, disability, labor, discrimination, environmental, air quality, wetlands,
shoreline, and flood plain laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules. The Laws shall also include
all governmental and private covenants, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the development
of the Property and the construction of Units thereon. Prior to any Draw hereunder with respect to
any Approved Project, Lender may require Borrower to supply evidence satisfactory to Lender that it
and each applicable Project Guarantor has complied in all material respects with the applicable
Plans and Specifications and that neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor has been cited for the
violation of any Laws.

          5.2 Right of Entry. Lender or its agents shall at all times have the right to enter upon any
portion of the Project during the period of development or construction upon one (1) business day
prior notice to Borrower. If the work is not satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion,
Lender shall have the right to stop such non-conforming work and order its replacement, whether or
not the unsatisfactory work has theretofore been incorporated in the improvements.

          5.3 Rights In Personal Property. No materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other part of
such improvements or apparatus to be used in connection therewith shall be purchased and/or
installed under conditional sale agreements or other arrangements wherein the right is reserved or
may accrue to anyone to remove and/or to repossess any such items.

          5.4 No Changes in the Construction Documents. Borrower and the Project Guarantors shall make
no changes in the Plans and Specifications or the other Construction Documents, after the same
have been approved by Lender, which would result in an increase in the cost of construction by more
than five percent (5%) in the aggregate, without first obtaining the written consent of Lender to
such changes (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such increased cost is as a result
of options chosen by and fully paid for by the purchaser of a Pre-Sold Unit or required by Law.

          5.5 Deadline for Start of Development/Construction. Borrower and/or the applicable Project
Guarantor shall begin development of particular A&D Improvements prior to or by the commencement
date set forth in the A&D Project Addendum for the applicable A&D Project. In the event that the

in the applicable A&D Project Addendum, all funding availability for such A&D Project shall be
immediately reduced to zero on the Collateral

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

Verification Certificate. Borrower and/or the applicable Project Guarantor shall begin construction
of a particular Unit, as applicable, within ninety (90) days of the Unit’s inclusion in a
Collateral Verification Certificate or Lender shall require that the advance for the Developed Lot
upon which the Unit shall be constructed be reduced to no more than sixty-five percent (65%)
loan-to-appraised value.

          5.6 Start Limitation. Unless otherwise approved by Lender, neither Borrower nor any Project
Guarantor shall be entitled to add any additional A&D Projects to the Facility either (a) at any
time during which Borrower is in violation of the minimum pre-tax net income financial covenant set
forth in Schedule 2, Section B hereto or (b) after the Expiration Date, as such
date may be extended as set forth herein. Further, Lender shall not be required to advance any Draw
or portion thereof with respect to any Unit, as to which construction shall have commenced later
than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as same may be extended pursuant to the terms
hereof).

          5.7 Lender’s Right to Complete Development/Construction. If (i) development or construction
is at any time abandoned, discontinued, or not carried on with reasonable dispatch and not cured
within five (5) days after written notice or such longer period as approved by Lender, except as
may be extended by force majeure, if Borrower commences to cure and is proceeding diligently to
complete such cure; (ii) the work is not properly performed as determined by Lender and such
failure is not cured within five (5) days after written notice or such longer period as approved
by Lender if Borrower commences to cure and is proceeding diligently to complete such cure; or
(iii) an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, then Lender may, at its option and in
addition to any and all other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, without
further notice, take possession of the affected Property and enter into contracts for or proceed
with the finishing of such improvements according to the applicable Plans and Specifications and
pay the cost thereof. Borrower shall repay any and all costs incurred by Lender in taking such
action upon demand by Lender and repayment thereof, together with interest charged at the default
rate under the Note from the date funds are advanced by Lender for such purpose, shall be secured
by the Mortgages.

          5.8 Recorded Covenants. Borrower shall submit to Lender a copy of any declaration of
covenants, conditions, and restrictions, or any other restrictive covenants affecting the Property
and obtain Lender’s approval of any such declaration or covenant prior to recording, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon approval, Lender agrees to consent to such document(s), to
the extent such consent is required by Law.

          5.9 Time/Construction/Development. Once Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor has
commenced physical development of A&D Improvements within a particular A&D Project or construction
of a particular Unit, Borrower and the applicable Project Guarantor shall not cease or
substantially cease productive work on that A&D Project or Unit, as applicable, for more than
twenty (20) days in the aggregate, except as may be extended by force majeure, without the prior
written consent of Lender. In any event, unless each A&D Project shall be completed to Lender’s
satisfaction on or before the Completion Date set forth in the applicable A&D Project Addendum,
Lender shall have no further obligation to fund further A&D Draws with respect to such A&D Project.
Once construction of an individual Unit with proceeds of the Facility shall be commenced, the
construction of such Unit shall be diligently pursued to

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

Verification Certificates, but only for such period specified by Lender in writing. [see
SCHEDULE 1 attached hereto].

          5.10 Actions Required by Lien Laws. Borrower shall take all steps necessary under the Laws of
each applicable State to prevent the assertion of claims or liens against the Property or any part
thereof or right or interest appurtenant thereto, or of claims against Lender or the Facility and
shall otherwise comply with all provisions of lien laws applicable to Borrower, each Project
Guarantor and the Property.

          5.11 Costs Incurred by Lender. Borrower shall be liable to Lender for all sums paid or
incurred by Lender in finishing the improvements or otherwise protecting its security hereunder,
whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 or
otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, and all such payments made or liabilities incurred
by Lender of any kind whatsoever as a result thereof shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within
twenty (20) days of demand, together with interest at the default rate under the Note to the date
of payment to Lender, and all of the foregoing sums, including interest thereon, shall be deemed
advances by Lender to protect its security, separate and distinct from advances of proceeds of the
Facility, and shall be evidenced and secured by the Guarantees, the Mortgages and other Loan
Documents:

     6. PARTIAL RELEASES. So long as (i) there does not exist any Event of Default or uncured
default by Borrower or Guarantors hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or under any document
evidencing or securing any other loan from Lender or its affiliates to Borrower, the Guarantors or
their subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) there does not exist any event which, following notice
and/or the expiration of any applicable cure period without a cure, would constitute a default
thereunder, Borrower shall be entitled to a partial release of the particular Unit and/or Developed
Lot or other parcel of land from the lien and encumbrance of the applicable Mortgage only upon
Borrower’s fulfillment and the applicable Project Guarantor’s fulfillment of all conditions to such
partial release set forth below:

          6.1 Third-Party Sale. The Unit or Developed Lot has been sold to a third- party unaffiliated
with Borrower pursuant to a Qualified Contract;

          6.2 Interest and Reimbursable Advances. Borrower pays any delinquent monthly interest
payments and any advances by Lender that are reimbursable by Borrower hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents, whether or not Borrower is then in default with respect to such reimbursement;

          6.3 Property Legally Subdivided. The applicable Property has been legally subdivided into
parcels or lots such that both (a) the Developed Lot or Unit to be released and (b) the portion of
the applicable Property remaining subject to the Mortgage are legally segregated properties capable
of being transferred in accordance with the law;

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

          6.4 Access Unimpaired. The partial release does not deny or unreasonably impair access to
public roads and utilities for either the portion of the Property remaining subject to the
applicable Mortgage or the Developed Lot or Unit to be released;

          6.5 Indemnification of Property. Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor secures all
necessary services of surveyors, engineers, and other consultants of any kind or nature whatsoever
required in connection with the partial release in order to sufficiently identify the portion of
the Property to be released and to enable Lender or any trustee to complete the partial release;
and

          6.6 Request for Partial Release. Lender shall have received a written request for such
release at least three (3) business days prior the proposed date for such release, and such request
shall be accompanied by a statement, certified to be true, accurate and complete by an Authorized
Person, calculating the Collateral Basis Amount remaining after the requested release;

          6.7 Costs and Expenses. Borrower pays the reasonable costs of preparing and delivering the
partial release, the premium for any special title insurance endorsements required by Lender, and
any and all other escrow, legal, closing, and recording costs incurred by Lender in connection with
such partial release.

          6.8 Release Price. Provided all the conditions of this Section 6 have been complied
with by the Borrower, the release price for a Unit or Developed Lot shall be for the consideration
of ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00), except that if the removal of the Unit or developed Lot from the
Collateral Basis Amount would cause the outstanding principal amount under the Facility to exceed
the Maximum Available Amount or any Sublimit, Borrower shall pay within five (5) days, a “Release
Fee” equal to such excess principal amount, which Lender shall apply to the outstanding principal
balance of the Facility in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.

          6.9 Other Releases. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section
6 above, Lender shall release the lien and encumbrance of the applicable Mortgage from any portion
of the Property that is conveyed or dedicated to a homeowners’ or master association or that is
dedicated to governmental entities, if such conveyance is made without any compensation and made
pursuant to an agreement or applicable homeowners or condominium documents approved, in writing, by
Lender. At Borrower’s request, Lender shall terminate the Working Capital Line Pledge, release its
lien upon the Working Capital Line Collateral and return the Working Capital Line Collateral to the
Working Capital Line Guarantor, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.6 hereof.

          6.10 Joinders and Consents. Lender agrees, upon Borrower’s request, to join in any plat for
A&D Land and any utility easements or licenses, and to consent to any homeowner’s association
documents or declarations, development agreements or similar instruments affecting the A&D Land and
needed by the applicable Project Guarantor in connection with the development of such A&D Land (as
contemplated in the applicable A&D Project Addendum), at no cost or liability to Lender, provided
that such instruments are in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided,
however, that Lender shall not be

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

required to join in or consent to any such document if doing so would materially diminish the value
of the A&D Land or require Lender to directly assume any obligations of Borrower or any Project
Guarantor thereunder.

     7. GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower, as of the date of execution hereof and
as of the date of each request for a Draw hereunder, represents and warrants to Lender that:

Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally.

          7.10 Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall not violate the provisions of any applicable law,
order, or resolution of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any
Guarantor and shall not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or
provisions of Borrower’s or Guarantors’ organizational documents or any other agreement or
instrument to which Borrower or any Guarantor is a party, or result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge, or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets
of Borrower or any Guarantor except for the security interests created hereunder.

          7.11 Permits and Licenses. Borrower or the applicable Project Guarantor has obtained, or

Persons List, such event shall be an Event of Default, and shall entitle Lender to exercise any and
all remedies provided in any Loan Documents or otherwise permitted by law. In addition, the Lender
may immediately contact the Office of Foreign Assets Control and any other government agency the
Lender deems appropriate in order to comply with its legal obligations. Upon the occurrence of such
Event of Default, Lender will forbear enforcement of its rights and remedies during such time as
(a) the person or entity identified in a Blocked Persons List is contesting in good faith by
appropriate legal proceedings such person’s or entity’s inclusion in a Blocked Persons List, and
(b) the Lender determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such forbearance will not

covering at least the next succeeding calendar year, insurance of the types and in the amounts
required in this Section 8.11.

     8.12 Environmental Covenants. Borrower hereby agrees that:

          (a) If Borrower receives any notice of (i) the happening of any event involving the spill,
release, leak, seepage, discharge or cleanup of any Hazardous Substance (as hereinafter defined) on
or in connection with any Property or in connection with operations thereon in violation of any
applicable law or (ii) any complaint, order, citation or notice with regard to air emissions, water
discharges, or any other environmental, health or safety matter affecting or related to any the
Property (an “Environmental Complaint”) from any person or entity (including without limitation the
EPA), then Borrower shall immediately notify Lender orally and in writing of the notice. For
purposes of this Section 8.12, “Hazardous Substance” shall mean and include those elements
or compounds which are from time to time contained in the list of hazardous substances adopted by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the list of toxic pollutants
designated by Congress or the EPA or defined by any other federal, state or local statute, law,
ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to, or imposing liability
or standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material
as now or at any time hereafter in effect.

          (b) Borrower, jointly and severally with each applicable Project Guarantor, shall indemnify
Lender, its officers, directors employees and their respective successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and shall hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, including strict liability, damages, injuries,
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, costs of any settlement or
judgment and claims of any and every governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct or
indirect result of, the presence, usage, storage, generation or disposal on or

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

under or in connection with any Property, or the escapes, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge,
emission, discharging or release from any Property of any Hazardous Substance (including,
without limitation, liabilities or claims asserted or arising under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, under any so called federal, state or
local “superfund” or “superlien” law, or under any statute, law ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability, including strict
liability, or standards of conduct concerning any Hazardous
Substance); provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not extend to matters caused solely by the Indemnified Parties or other
third party owners following a sale or foreclosure of any such Property or conveyance by the
Indemnified Parties in lieu of foreclosure.

     9. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. While any sums remain outstanding hereunder, Borrower shall not,
without Lender’s prior written consent:

          9.1 Indebtedness. Incur indebtedness other than: (i) indebtedness owed to Lender or to any
affiliate of Lender which is secured by the Property, other than as provided in this Agreement;
(ii) unsecured current indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business; (iii) which would
not violate the financial covenants of Borrower; (iv) purchase money secured indebtedness for
equipment acquired in the ordinary course of business; (v) indebtedness secured by liens permitted
hereby; (vi) indebtedness for taxes, assessments, and governmental charges permitted hereby; and
(vii) indebtedness for land acquisition, development, and construction activities obtained by
Borrower in the ordinary course of business.

          9.2 Liens and Encumbrances. Create or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, or other
encumbrance with respect to any of its assets secured by the Loan Documents, and except for the
following permitted liens: (i) liens for taxes, assessments, and governmental charges not
delinquent or being contested in good faith; (ii) liens of the kinds arising in the ordinary course
of business of Borrower in respect to obligations that are not due or being contested in good
faith; (iii) liens in respect to judgments against Borrower for which Borrower has posted a bond or
otherwise secured payment in a manner acceptable to Lender as
provided in Section 12 below and with
respect to which Borrower shall, in good faith, be prosecuting an appeal or proceeding for review,
and a stay of execution shall have been secured; (iv) liens in respect to indebtedness owed to
Lender or to any affiliate of Lender; (v) lien s that do not affect property securing any
indebtedness to Lender and secure indebtedness for land acquisition, development, and construction
activities relating to loans obtained by Borrower in the ordinary course of business; and (vi)
other liens permitted under Section 8.1 herein.

          9.3 Assignment or Sale of Assets. Assign or sell any of its assets, except in the ordinary
course of its business consistent with its past practices or in connection with any indebtedness
consented to by Lender (including collateral assignments permitted under Section 9.2 above)
to the extent same would violate any financial covenant of Borrower set forth on Schedule
2.

          9.4 Corporate, Limited Liability Company, and Partnership Restrictions. Borrower shall not
issue any limited liability company interest in Borrower or grant any option,
right-of-first-refusal, warrant, or other right to purchase any limited liability company interest
or other securities in Borrower. Each Project Guarantor is and shall remain wholly owned and

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

controlled by Borrower, either directly or through entities wholly owned and controlled by
Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any Project Guarantor to issue any capital stock or other
securities of, or any limited liability membership or partnership interests in any Project
Guarantor, or grant any option, right-of-first refusal warrant or other right to acquire equity
interests in any Project Guarantor which would or could result in any Project Guarantor not being
directly or indirectly wholly owned by Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor shall
amend, modify, restate, supplement, or terminate its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, its
limited liability company operating agreement, or its partnership agreement, as the case may be,
without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor shall reorganize itself or consolidate with or merge
with or into any other corporation, limited liability company or other legal entity, or permit any
other corporation, limited liability company or other legal entity to be merged into Borrower or
any Project Guarantor, if, as a result thereof, the foregoing covenants contained in Section
9.4 will have been breached. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Lender hereby
acknowledges its consent to (i) the merger of the Working Capital Line Guarantor into BFC Financial
Corporation (“BFC”) and (ii) the transfer of the Borrower and/or any Project Guarantor into an
entity controlled by BFC, provided that (a) with respect to any transfer described in clause (ii),
(1) Borrower (or its successor in interest) remains the direct or indirect owner of the equity
interests in any “transferred” Project Guarantor and (2) all of the equity interests in Borrower
(or its successor in interest) remain or are encumbered by a valid first lien security interest in
favor of Lender, securing the Working Capital Line Guaranty, (b) Lender shall have been provided
with at least five (5) business days advance notice of such transfer, (c) Lender shall have
received properly executed Loans to One Borrower Certificates or other documents required by all
applicable governmental or regulatory authorities or agencies having jurisdiction over Lender and
(d) after giving effect to such transfer, Lender shall not be in violation of any applicable law,
regulation, rule, ordinance or order of any applicable governmental or regulatory authority or
agency having jurisdiction over Lender. In addition, without the prior written consent of Lender,
in its sole and absolute discretion, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be dissolved or
liquidated.

          9.5 Dividends, Distributions and Payment of Subordinated Debt. During the existence of an
Event of Default or at any time in which Borrower is not in compliance with the Financial Covenants
(or if Borrower would not be in compliance with the Financial Covenants as a result of any of the
following), neither Borrower nor any Project Guarantor will directly or indirectly do any of the
following: (i) declare or pay any dividend or other distribution on or on account of any capital
stock or other securities of Borrower or any Project Guarantor; (ii) pay any management fee; (iii)
make any loans to shareholders of or members or partners in Borrower or any Project Guarantor; (iv)
make any purchase, redemption, retirement, or other acquisition of any shares of any class of
capital stock of or any membership interest or partnership interest in Borrower or any Project
Guarantor or of any warrants or rights to purchase any such stock, membership interest or
partnership interest; or (v) make any payment of, or with respect to, any Subordinate Debt.

     10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

          10.1 Events of Default Defined. The occurrence of any of the events described below shall be
an “Event of Default”: (a) failure to pay any principal reduction or

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

interest payment when and as the same shall become due and payable hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents or under any other indebtedness of Borrower or Guarantor or their affiliates to
Lender, whether at its scheduled payment date or otherwise, subject to any applicable grace period
as set forth in the Loan Documents; (b) any representation or warranty made now or hereafter by
Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any statement,
report, or certificate provided to Lender by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection therewith,
proves to be false in any material respect; (c) Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any
other non-curable term, provision, or covenant in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document; (d)
Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform or is in breach of any other curable, non-monetary term,
provision or covenant contained in this Agreement and fails to cure such default within ten (10)
days after notice thereof from Lender; provided, however, that if such curable,
non-monetary default may not reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, an “Event of Default” shall
not be deemed to have occurred unless (i) Borrower fails to commence the actions necessary to cure
such default within ten (10) days after Lender’s notice thereof or (ii) such default is not cured
within sixty (60) days after Lender’s notice of such default; or (e) Borrower or any Guarantor
shall become involved in financial difficulties as evidenced by failing generally to pay debts as
they become due, or filing a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or filing any
answer or admission asking for such relief, or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or consenting to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for all or a major portion of such
party’s assets, or the entry of an order for relief against such party as a debtor under any
chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or the entry of a court order appointing a receiver or trustee for
all or a major portion of such party’s property without its consent, which order shall not be
vacated or stayed within sixty (60) days of its entry.

          10.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and continuation of any Event of Default, any and all
liabilities of Borrower and Guarantors to Lender shall become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice (except as provided in this Agreement) of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower (unless prohibited by applicable law) and Borrower
shall have no further right to additional Draws hereunder. Lender may exercise, at its option, any
of the rights and remedies available to it hereunder or otherwise available under law or equity,
including without limitation, electing (a) to perform any defaulted covenant or provision to such
extent as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or to disburse funds under the Note for
such purpose (including, without limitation, payment of insurance premiums, taxes, or assessments),
which amounts, together with interest thereon from the disbursement date until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the Default Rate provided for in the Note, shall be secured by the Mortgages; (b) to
take control of any or all collateral until all amounts due hereunder are paid in full; or (c) to
exercise all rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, under any other Loan Documents,
and under applicable law.

     11. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender in
connection with the underwriting, processing, closing, and funding of the Facility and the
preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of the Loan Documents, as well as any amendments,
modifications, consents, or waivers relating thereto, including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees (including reasonable fees of Lender’s in-house counsel, if used) and costs. In addition,
Lender shall be entitled to recover any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the preservation of rights under and enforcement of the Loan Documents, or the

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

protection of its collateral thereunder, whether or not any lawsuit is commenced, in all such cases
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including reasonable fees of Lender’s
in-house counselor any local counsel, if used) and costs, and all such fees and costs incurred by
Lender in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Facility or Lender’s security
therefor in any manner.

     12. UNAUTHORIZED LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES. If any claim of lien is filed or recorded, or any
stop notice or other notice of lien is served upon Lender, in connection with any Unit or other
portion of the Property securing the Facility, or if a judgment or other encumbrance is placed
against any such Property, such Unit or other portion of the Property securing the Facility in
violation of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be excluded from the
current and all future Collateral Verification Certificates until such breach is corrected and it
shall constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower, within twenty (20) days of receiving notice
of such event, either (a) pays the related judgment or claim and obtains the release and
satisfaction of such lien, claim of lien, judgment, or encumbrance; or (b) obtains the release of
such lien, judgment, or other encumbrance by transferring the same to or providing a surety bond in
accordance with applicable law, and provides to Lender evidence of such release, in form and
content acceptable to Lender.

     13. OFFSET RIGHTS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may take
from any funds of Borrower or any Guarantor in its possession or, at the option of Lender, from any
of the proceeds of the Facility, any amounts that Borrower has agreed to pay or is liable for
under any of the Loan Documents, but Borrower shall nevertheless remain liable to Lender until all
obligations provided for in this Agreement have been fully paid and discharged, notwithstanding
Lender may not have elected to take payment from such funds.

     14. DISCLAIMEROF LIABILITY. The execution of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents by Lender and Borrower or any Guarantor does not constitute a joint venture and no
provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents is made or shall be construed for
the benefit of any third party. Borrower has accepted and hereby accepts the sole responsibility
for the selection of all contractors, subcontractors, and all materials, supplies, and equipment to
be used in the development and construction work at the Property securing the Facility, and Lender
assumes no responsibility to Borrower or any Guarantor, any contractor, subcontractor, or any other
person for the completion of the improvements or for the quality thereof, nor does Lender assume
any responsibility for the application of Draws or payment of contractors, subcontractors, or
suppliers. Inspection by Lender of development and construction work is for the purpose of
protecting the security of Lender and is not to be construed as a representation by Lender that
such work will be free from faulty material or workmanship. In no event shall Lender be liable to
Borrower or any Guarantor for punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including, without
limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower waives all claims for punitive, exemplary, or
consequential damages.

     15. REQUIRED NOTICE OF DEFAULT TO LENDER. Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement,
or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of
Borrower shall have been given to Lender within ten (10) days after Borrower first had actual
knowledge of the occurrence of the event that Borrower alleges gave

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any, promptly thereafter.
Borrower waives any claim, set-off, or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged
default by Lender to which Borrower does not give such notice as set forth herein. Borrower
acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s
ability to enforce its remedies
without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between
Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan.

     16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

          16.1 Captions, Severability. Captions and headings are used for convenience only and are not
intended to modify or limit the textual provisions of this Agreement. If anyone or more provisions
of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such unenforceability
shall not affect the other provisions thereof.

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

          16.3 GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY
PROVIDED HEREIN AND EXCEPT WHERE FEDERAL LAW IS APPLICABLE AND PREEMPTS STATE LAW (IN WHICH EVENT
SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL CONTROL), THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE LIEN INSTRUMENTS, AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED, AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THAT STATE’S OR ANY OTHER STATE’S CHOICE OF LAW RULES OR
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

          16.4 Entire Agreement; Relationship to Prior Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement is intended
to set forth the entire and final agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written agreement of Borrower and Lender.

          16.5 Publicity. If Lender desires, it may announce and publicize the fact that it is
providing financing, and may (at Lender’s expense) place signs on any property securing this
Facility, as long as such property remains subject to Lender’s security interest.

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

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

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

     16.7 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from
and against all claims, costs, expenses, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, damages and
liabilities of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses,
arising out of any matter relating, directly or indirectly, to the Facility, to the ownership,
development, construction, or sale of the Property, whether resulting from internal disputes of
Borrower, disputes between Borrower and any Guarantor, or whether involving other third persons or
entities, or out of any other matter whatsoever related to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or
any property encumbered thereby, but excluding any claim or liability which arises as the direct
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or the breach by Lender of this
Agreement. This indemnity provision shall continue in full force and effect and shall survive not
only the making of the Facility but shall also survive the repayment of the Facility and the
performance of all of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

     16.8 Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence of this Agreement.

     16.9 Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon,
and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

     16.10 Participations/Syndications. Lender, at any time, shall have the right to sell,
assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participation or syndication interests in the Facility and in
any documents and instruments executed in connection herewith; provided, however, to the extent
Lender retains any portion of the Facility, Lender shall remain as the lead lender or
administrative agent under the Facility, as applicable. Lender shall endeavor to provide thirty
(30) days written notice to Borrower prior to any such sale, assignment, transfer, participation or
syndication if, after giving effect to such transaction, Lender shall no longer be the lead lender
or administrative agent under the Facility; provided,
however that Lender shall incur no liability
to Borrower for failure to deliver such notice, except to the extent such failure shall have been
intentional. Lender is authorized to furnish to any participant, co-lender or prospective
participant or co-lender any information or document that Lender may have or obtain regarding the
Facility, Borrower or any Guarantor.

     16.11 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to usury laws
applicable to Lender. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under
applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America and the States of Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas), then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Note, this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or agreement
entered into in connection with or as security for the Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the
aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Lender that is
contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Note, this Agreement or under any of
the other aforesaid Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection

Borrowing Base Facility Agreement- Loan No. 1001839

 

 

with the Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable
law, and any excess shall be credited by Lender on the principal amount of the Facility (or, if the
principal amount of the Facility shall have been paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower); and
(ii) in the event that the maturity of the Note is accelerated by reason of an election of Lender
resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any
required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law
applicable to Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law,
and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled
automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited by Lender on the principal amount of the Facility (or, if the principal amount of the
Facility shall have been paid in full, refunded by Lender to Borrower). Without limiting the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged,
received or provided for under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents which are made for the
purpose of determining whether the interest rate exceeds the applicable highest lawful rate (the
“Highest Lawful Rate”) shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility,
all interest at anytime taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, received or provided for under
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. If at anytime the sum of the stated interest rate on
the Note exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest to accrue on the Note shall be
limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in any index upon which the
stated rate of the Note is based shall not reduce the interest to accrue on the Note below the
Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the Note equals the amount of
interest which would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the stated interest rate on
the Note had at all times been in effect. If at maturity or final payment of the Note the total
amount of interest paid or accrued on the Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the
total amount of interest which would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the stated
interest rate on the Note had at all times been in effect, then Borrower agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser
of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Note if the Highest Lawful Rate had
at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Note if
a varying rate per annum equal to the stated interest rate on the Note had at all times been in
effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of the Note.

     16.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. LENDER AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON,
OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND
VOLUNTARILY MADE BY LENDER AND BORROWER, AND LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO PERSON ACTING
ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE
SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND

IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL, AND

and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

     16.14 Notice Regarding Oral Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF BORROWER AND LENDER AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR
COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO

Borrower: LEVITT ANDSONS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company

     THIS SCHEDULE sets forth the Basic Loan Terms and certain other provisions applicable to

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for Ten and 00/100 Dollars ($10.00) and

          (vi) The A&D Addendum for Tradition South Carolina consisting of approximately one hundred
fifty (150) acres within a master plan community located in the City of Hardeeville, Jasper County,

          (viii) Section 1.48 is amended to add the term “Released Property”. The term “Released
Property” shall mean any portion of the Property encumbered by any Mortgage which is released from
the lien and encumbrance of the Mortgage.

          (ix) Sections 1.56, 1.59 and 1.60 are all deleted in their entirety.

          (x) The provisions of Sections 1.22, 1.54, 5.7 and 5.9 and other applicable sections of the
Loan Agreement are amended to reflect that the time period for proceeding with development and/or
construction and with respect to any Curtailment Requirements (including the dates for Curtailment)
and Maximum Holding Periods shall be abated until Borrower or Project Guarantor, with Lender’s
consent, commences construction of improvements, other than the up to the 14 models and
infrastructure improvements, and at which time all abated time periods shall be extended by a time
to be reasonably determined by the Lender (“Abatement Period”). If the Borrower commences
construction of any model(s), the Borrower or Project Guarantor shall proceed diligently to
complete such model. The Borrower shall determine in its business judgment what portions of the
infrastructure improvements it shall construct.

          (xi) Section 2.6 is amended to reflect that the Working Capital Line shall remain in full
force and effect; provided, however, simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, the Working
Capital Line shall no longer be a revolving line and there shall be no additional advances of the
Working Capital Line after the date hereof but shall be paid as provided in the Note, the Working
Capital Line guarantor’s guaranty has been terminated and the Lender’s security interest in the
Working Capital Line Collateral has been terminated and released.

          (xii) Section 4.4.1 is amended to reflect that the Lender will fund one hundred percent (100%)
of the hard and soft costs incurred from time to time in connection with the Project (subject to
the appraisal tests as set forth in the Loan Agreement) and the Borrower is not required to fund
twenty percent (20%) of Equity Funds (except to the extent the appraisal test would require the
Borrower to fund to satisfy such appraisal requirement for a funding).

          (xiii) Sections 5.5 is deleted in its entirety.

          (xiv) Partial Releases. In addition to the provisions already set forth in Paragraph
6, the Borrower shall be entitled to release portions of the Property encumbered by the Mortgage
upon payment to Lender of a partial release price equal to the greater of: (i) the “Minimum Amount”
(as hereinafter defined); or (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the sales price paid for such portion
of the Property (if applicable) without regard to whether or not the Property being released or
remaining to be released has been legally subdivided; provided that the Property remaining to be
released after the release of any Property from the lien of the Mortgage shall be a commercially
developable parcel having access for ingress, egress and utilities over dedicated roads and/or
perpetual easements. The “Minimum Amount” shall mean an amount reasonably agreed to by Borrower
and Lender, which amount is one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the product of (a) the “Collateral
Reduction Percentage,” multiplied by (b) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan
(excluding the Working Capital Line portion of the Note). As used herein, the term “Collateral
Reduction Percentage” shall mean the percentage equal to (a) the appraised value of the Released
Property, divided by (b) the appraised value of

Copy

 all of the Property then encumbered by the Mortgage, each as determined by a current
Appraisal. The parties agree to act reasonably to compute the Minimum Amount. It is the intent of
the parties that the Lender will not be funding any Units other than up to fourteen (14) models as
contemplated by the Budget.

               The Lender acknowledges that a plat in the form of Exhibit J has been recorded. The
Lender consents to Mortgagor exchanging deeds in the form of deeds attached as Exhibit J
and will release the portion of the Property being conveyed to Core Communities of South Carolina,
LLC (“Core”) on Exhibit J at such time as Core conveys to the Mortgagee the property as
provided on Exhibit J (“Extra Land”) free of mortgages subject to exceptions to title
similar to the balance of the Property and the Extra Land is spread and encumbered by the Loan
Documents including the Mortgage and Assignment of Rents and Leases. The exchange contemplated in
this section is subject to the Lender’s reasonable approval of the lands being exchanged.

          (xv) Section 6.10 is amended to add that the Lender hereby consents to the creation of a
municipal improvement district (“MID”) with respect to the Property encumbered by the Mortgage in
accordance with the notice of proposed creation of municipal improvement district, a copy of which
is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C.

          (xvi) Section 7.4, 8.1, 8.10, 9.2 and 12 are amended to reflect that the Lender consents to
the creation of MID and such lien is a Permitted Exception under the Loan Documents.

          (xvii) Section 7.7 is amended to reflect and consent to any litigation set forth in the
Borrower’s SEC filings. There is no litigation against New Borrower that would have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (xviii) Sections 9.1, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 are all deleted in their entirety.

          (xix) Omitted Intentionally.

          (xx) Schedule 1 of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and Exhibit D
attached hereto and made a part hereof is substituted in lieu thereof as the Schedule 1.

          (xxi) Schedule 2 of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following
Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof is substituted in lieu thereof as the
Schedule 2.

          (xxii) Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement is deleted and Exhibit F attached hereto and

          (xxiii) Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement is deleted and Exhibit G attached hereto and

Loan No. 1001839

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE

			
	$100,000,000.00 (U.S.)
	 	October 25th, 2007

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the maturity date (hereinafter defined), the undersigned
promises to pay to the order of AmTrust Bank, a federal savings bank, f/k/a Ohio Savings Bank, a
federal savings bank (hereinafter called the “Bank” or, with its successors and assigns, the
“holder”), at its principal office at 200 AmTrust Bank Center, 1801 East Ninth Street, Cleveland,
Ohio 44114, or at such other place as the holder hereof from time to time may designate in
writing, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) (U.S.), or
such lesser amount as shall be outstanding from time to time under a line of credit established by
Bank for the undersigned, with interest as hereinafter provided. Interest on the unpaid principal
balance of this Note from time to time outstanding shall be payable monthly on the first day of
each month at the Prime Rate. The “Prime Rate” is defined as the rate designated as the “Prime
Rate” in the Money Rates table published from time to time in the Central Edition of The Wall
Street Journal. If for any reason The Wall Street Journal is not published on the Rate
Lock Date, the Bank shall use the first published Prime Rate prior to the Rate Lock Date. If such
Prime Rate is otherwise unavailable at any time, the Bank shall select a new index or other measure
appropriate as a basis for setting the rate in lieu thereof and the undersigned shall confirm such
new index or other basis for setting the rate in writing to the Bank. The Prime Rate is not
necessarily the lowest interest rate offered or charged by the Bank at any given time.

     Advances made under this Note shall be in the form of a continual revolving credit whereby
advances may be made, repaid and readvanced from time to time; provided that the maximum principal
amount which may be outstanding hereunder at any one time shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION and
No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) or such lesser amount as may be permitted by the terms of the
Revolving Working Capital, Land Acquisition and Development and Residential Construction Borrowing
Base Facility Agreement dated March 21, 2007 by and between the Bank and Levitt and Sons, LLC as
amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”). The undersigned shall pay any and all
documentary stamps, intangible taxes and other taxes which may be due for any Advance. The Bank
shall maintain an account on its books (the “Loan Account”), which shall evidence at all times the
amount from time to time outstanding under this Note. The Bank shall by appropriate entries debit
to the Loan Account

EXHIBIT D — PAGE 1

 

 

the amount of each advance hereunder, all accrued interest thereon and any other amounts due
Bank with respect to this Note and shall credit to the Loan Account each payment of principal and
interest on account of advances hereunder and other amounts payable hereunder. The Loan Account
shall constitute prima facie evidence of all advances made by the Bank hereunder and of all other
entries contained therein.

     The unpaid principal and all accrued interest thereon, if any, shall be due and payable in
full on the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Agreement) or such earlier date as may be
required hereunder or under the Agreement.

     Interest shall be determined for each day by multiplying a daily interest factor (based on the
annual interest rate then in effect divided by 360) by the unpaid principal balance outstanding for
such day. Interest shall be calculated and accrue on each advance of the principal of this Note
from and including the day on which such advance is made.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 of the Agreement, the holder may apply any
and all amounts received by it for application to the loan evidenced hereby in such order and
manner as the holder in its discretion may determine. At the option of the holder, prior to the
application of payments received in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 of the
Agreement, any payment received by holder may be applied to the repayment of any sums advanced by
the holder for payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or for keeping, maintaining
and/or protecting the property subject to any “Mortgage” (as such term is defined in the
Agreement); or the holder may require said sums so advanced to be repaid together with interest
thereon at a rate which is five percent (5%) per annum higher than the rate of interest accruing
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Note (the
“Default Rate”), in addition to the required monthly installments. If any of the aforesaid
interest payments or any sums required to be paid under the terms hereof or of the Mortgages or the
Agreement are not paid within ten (10) calendar days after the same are due and payable, the holder
hereof, at its option, and in addition to any other remedies available to it, may charge the
undersigned a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of each unpaid monthly installment and/or sum, to
reimburse the holder hereof for the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments, in
otherwise servicing the loan evidenced by this Note and in loss to the holder of the use of the
money due but not yet paid. The undersigned understands and agrees that if for any reason the
undersigned fails to pay any amount due under this Note on or before the date when due, the holder
shall suffer damages, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
such damages. Therefore, the undersigned agrees that the late charge described above in this
paragraph is a reasonable estimate of such damages and shall be payable not as a penalty but as
agreed and liquidated damages.

     The undersigned may prepay this Note, without prepayment charge, in full or in part, at any
time.

     The aforesaid monthly installments of interest are to be paid each and every calendar month
irrespective of any prepayment until this Note is paid in full, and the holder hereof may, without
notice, at its option, apply all or part of any such prepayment to the payment of any monthly
installments not made when due.

EXHIBIT D — PAGE 2

 

 

     The terms, covenants, conditions, stipulations and agreements contained in the Agreement are
hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent as though said Agreement was fully set forth
herein.

     The undersigned hereby expressly agree that time is of the essence hereof, and if the
undersigned fail to pay any installment of interest within ten (10) calendar days after the same is
due and payable hereunder, or fail to pay the entire indebtedness hereof when due, or if an Event
of Default occurs under the Mortgages, the Agreement or any other Loan Document (as such term is
defined in the Agreement), or if a default occurs (and is not cured within the applicable grace or
cure period therefore) under any other note, guaranty, mortgage or other obligation of the
undersigned or any Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Agreement) to the Bank, the unpaid
principal balance hereof (including any amounts advanced by the holder in accordance with the
Agreement or other Loan Documents and not repaid) with all accumulated interest thereon shall, at
the option of the holder hereof, become immediately due and payable without further notice or
demand, such notice and demand being hereby expressly waived, and shall thereafter until this Note
is paid in full bear interest at the Default Rate. The undersigned recognizes that such failure to
make the interest payments when due, the failure to pay the entire indebtedness when due, or the
occurrence of such an Event of Default or uncured default, will result in the holder incurring
additional ongoing expenses in servicing the loan evidenced by this Note and in loss to the holder
of the use of the money due. Further, the undersigned understands and agrees that if for any
reason the undersigned fails to pay any installment of interest when due, or fail to pay the entire
indebtedness hereof when due, or if an Event of Default occurs under the Agreement or other Loan
Documents, or if any default occurs under any other note, guaranty, mortgage or other obligation of
the undersigned or any Guarantor to Bank and such default is not cured within the applicable cure
period therefore (if any), the holder shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused
thereby, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such
damages. Therefore, the undersigned agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of such
ongoing damages and shall be payable not as a penalty but as agreed and liquidated damages. The
undersigned expressly agrees that the Default Rate is and shall be the rate of interest which
applies to any judgment debt upon the obligations contained in this Note.

     The undersigned shall pay, within ten (10) days after holder’s demand, any and all costs, fees
and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the holder in connection with the
exercise or enforcement of any of its rights, powers or remedies pursuant hereto or to the
Agreement or other Loan Documents, or to otherwise obtain judicial relief in connection with the
transactions which are the subject of this Note, the Agreement and other Loan Documents, whether or
not litigation has been commenced (including in all trial, bankruptcy and appellate proceedings),
and all such amounts shall bear interest at the Default Rate and be secured by the Loan Documents.

     Except as may otherwise be provided in the other Loan Documents, the makers, endorsers,
sureties and guarantors of this Note waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor and any
other type of notice of or with respect to this Note, including notice of any failure to perform or
default of or by any person obligated hereon.

     The loan evidenced hereby is for commercial or business purposes, and is not intended and will
not be used for personal, family, household, educational, consumer or agricultural purposes.

     This Note is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and the undersigned hereby consents
to personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court in the State of Florida and to venue in any
state or federal court in Broward County, Florida in connection with any claim, allegation, cause
of action or legal proceeding relating in any way to this Note, the Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any security or collateral related thereto.

     Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including all
charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not
exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the State of Florida or the applicable laws of the
United States of America, whichever shall be higher (the “Maximum Rate”). In the event the total
liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without
limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be
interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the Maximum Rate, all sums
in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question (and without further
agreement or notice by, among or to the Bank or the undersigned) shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal balance, with the same force and effect as though the undersigned had specifically
designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance and the Bank
had agreed to accept such sums as a prepayment of principal; provided, however,
that the Bank may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the
undersigned, to waive, reduce or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully
collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance. The
undersigned does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Bank intend or expect to charge, accept
or collect any interest under this Note or under the Loan Documents greater than the Maximum Rate.

     If any term, clause or provision of this Note shall be determined by any court to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of such term, clause or
provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder thereof or of
any other term, clause or provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed and enforced as if
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable term, clause or provision had not been contained herein,
and all covenants, obligations and agreements shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by
law.

     The obligation of the undersigned under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest, penalties, premiums and
late charges, if any, on this Note and all additional payments, if any, due pursuant to the
Agreement, the Mortgages and/or any other Loan Document shall have been paid and, until such
payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired upon the happening
from time to time of any event, including, without limitation, any of the following, whether or not
with notice to or the consent of the undersigned: (a) the waiver, compromise,

EXHIBIT D — PAGE 4

 

 

indulgence, settlement, release, termination, modification or amendment (including, without
limitation, any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or
refinancing) of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the undersigned under
this Note, the Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document; (b) the failure to give notice
to the undersigned of the occurrence of a default under the terms and provisions of this Note or
any other Loan Document; (c) the release, substitution or exchange by the holder of this Note of
any security held by it for the payment of any amount due pursuant to this Note or any other Loan
Document (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by the holder of this Note of
any additional security for such payments or the availability or claimed availability of any other
security, collateral or source of repayment; (d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of
assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other
similar proceedings affecting of the undersigned, any Guarantor or any other person or entity who,
or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the debt
evidenced by this Note or any part thereof; (e) any failure, omission, delay or neglect by the Bank
in enforcing, asserting or exercising any right, power or remedy under this Note, the Mortgage or
any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity; (f) the release of any Guarantor or any other
person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the debt evidenced by this Note; (g)
any non-perfection or other impairment of any security; (h) any assignment or transfer by the Bank
of all or any interest in this Note; (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision in this Note or any other Loan Document; (j) any merger or consolidation involving any of
the undersigned, any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or issuance of any membership interest,
stock, partnership or other equity interest by the undersigned or any sale, transfer or conveyance
by the undersigned or any other person of all or any part of such person’s interest in the
undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned; or (k) to the extent permitted by law, any event
or action that would, in the absence of this clause, result in the release or discharge of the
undersigned from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in this Note. The obligations of the undersigned to the Bank pursuant hereto include and apply to
any payment or payments received by Bank on account of the liabilities evidenced hereby, which
payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person or
entity under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
similar law, common law or equitable doctrine. If any action or proceeding seeking such repayment
is pending or, in Bank’s sole judgment, threatened, this Note and any security interest therefor
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the undersigned may not then be
obligated to Bank. The obligations of the undersigned to Bank and this Note, and any security
therefor, shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until Bank has received payment
in full of all amounts payable to it pursuant to this Note, the Agreement and all other Loan
Documents and the expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law, or at law or equity, without any
claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an interest in all or any
part of any payment(s) received by Bank; provided, however, that in the event the
undersigned shall seek to satisfy this Note by refinancing the loan evidenced hereby and the
undersigned can demonstrate its solvency as of the date of such

EXHIBIT D — PAGE 5

 

 

refinancing, to Bank’s reasonable satisfaction, the Bank will deliver to Borrower an express
waiver of its rights under this sentence.

     The undersigned expressly agrees that the Bank shall not be required first to institute any
suit or to exhaust its remedies against any other person or party liable or to become liable
hereunder or against any collateral or security for the loan evidenced hereby, in order to enforce
this Note; and expressly agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the
undersigned shall be and remain, directly and primarily liable for all sums due under this Note and
under the Loan Documents. Upon disposition by Bank of any collateral or security for the loan
evidenced hereby, the undersigned shall be and shall remain jointly and severally liable with the
Guarantors for any deficiency.

     No extension, postponement, forbearance, delay or failure on the part of the holder of this
Note in the exercise of any power, right or remedy hereunder, under any Mortgage, the Agreement or
any other Loan Document or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power, right or remedy. All rights, powers and remedies of the holder shall
be cumulative and may be exercised simultaneously or from time to time in such order and manner as
the holder in its sole discretion may elect.

     This note has been executed by the undersigned outside the State of Florida, and has been
delivered directly to Bank at its office in Ohio. Accordingly, Florida documentary stamps are not
payable on this Note. Any documentary stamps, intangible taxes or other mortgage taxes payable in
connection with the execution, delivery or recording of any Mortgage shall be paid at the
appropriate time and manner and shall be reflected on the Mortgage, all in accordance with the laws
of the state in which the property encumbered by such Mortgage is situated.

     THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) MUTUALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, ANY ASPECT OF THE TRANSACTION IN
CONNECTION WITH WHICH THIS DOCUMENT IS BEING GIVEN OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION WITH SUCH TRANSACTION. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY
THE UNDERSIGNED AND BANK, AND THE UNDERSIGNED AND BANK ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO ONE HAS MADE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY
ITS EFFECT. THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING BEEN REPRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
TRANSACTION WITH RESPECT TO WHICH THIS DOCUMENT IS BEING GIVEN AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY
INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED BY THE UNDERSIGNED’S OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT THE UNDERSIGNED

ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER PROVISION.
