    “Alternate Base Rate”
shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime
Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on
such day plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for a one month Interest
Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately

Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the Reuters
BBA Libor Rates Page 3750 (or on any successor or substitute page of such page)
at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day.  Any change in
the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds

by inserting in the definition of “Loan Documents” after “the Guaranty
Agreements” a comma (,) followed by the words “Security Documents.”

    

    (d)           Secured
Indebtedness.  The definition of “Secured Indebtedness” in
Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the parenthetical
“(excluding Indebtedness owing to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries)” with the
parenthetical “(excluding Indebtedness owing (i) to Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or (ii) under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document).”

    

    2.           Amendment of Section
2.

    

    (a)           Secured Borrowing Base
Coverage.  Subsection 2.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read as follows:

    

    (b)           Secured Borrowing Base
Coverage.

    

    (i)           Availability.  During
the Initial Period, the Aggregate Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the
lesser of $65,000,000 and the Aggregate Commitment and shall be subject to
prepayment in accordance with subsection 2.6(b), and no Loan shall be made, and
no Facility L/C shall be issued or amended if after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Loan or the issuance or amendment of such Facility L/C, the
Aggregate Outstandings would exceed the lesser of $65,000,000 and the Aggregate
Commitment.  After the end of the Initial Period, the Aggregate
Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the Secured Borrowing
Base and the Aggregate Commitment and shall be subject to prepayment in
accordance with subsection 2.6(b), and no Loan shall be made and no Facility L/C
shall be issued or amended if after giving effect to the incurrence of such Loan
or the issuance or amendment of such Facility L/C, the Aggregate Outstandings
would exceed the lesser of the Secured Borrowing Base and the Aggregate
Commitment.

    (ii)           Releases of Security During
Initial Period.  During the Initial Period, Borrower may
request the release of all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the Liens
of Agent, whereupon Agent shall release its Liens on such Mortgaged Property
within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request so long as (A) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) concurrently
with such release the net proceeds, if any, from the disposition of such
Mortgaged Property are deposited into the Operating Account.  During
the Initial Period, Borrower may request the release of Secured Borrowing Base
Cash from the Secured Borrowing Base Account in the amount, if any as of any
date, by which the cash and Cash Equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet
of Borrower minus Secured Borrowing Base Cash is less than $25,000,000,
whereupon Agent shall release such Secured Borrowing Base Cash within three (3)
Business Days after receipt of such request so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower may not request, and Agent shall not be required to,
release, as of any date, Secured Borrowing Base Cash from the Secured Borrowing
Base in an amount less than $1,000,000 and any $10,000 increments in excess
thereof, with such increments being calculated by rounding down to the nearest
multiple of $10,000.

    

               (iii)           Releases after Initial
Period.  After the Initial Period, Borrower may request in
writing that Agent release its Lien on Secured Borrowing Base Cash or Mortgaged
Property, or any portion or combination thereof.  Agent shall release
its Lien on Secured Borrowing Base Cash or Mortgaged Property (or any portion
thereof, including any related personal property) within ten (10) days of
receipt by Agent of a notice pursuant to this subsection (iii) so long as (and
by requesting a release Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted to Agent and the Lenders that the following conditions have been
satisfied): (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing or would result therefrom; (B) after giving effect to such release
and any substitution of Mortgaged Properties (or any portion thereof), the
Aggregate Outstandings do not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and
the Secured Borrowing Base, (C) if such release is of any Secured Borrowing Base
Cash or if Mortgaged Property subject to the request for a release constitutes
more than 10% of the Secured Borrowing Base, Borrower has delivered to Agent a
current Borrowing Base Certificate evidencing compliance with this Agreement,
and (D) concurrently with such release the net proceeds, if any, from any
disposition of such Mortgaged Property are deposited into the Operating
Account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not request, and
Agent shall not be required to, release, as of any date, Secured Borrowing Base
Cash from the Secured Borrowing Base in an amount less than $1,000,000 and any
$10,000 increments in excess thereof, with such increments being calculated by
rounding down to the nearest multiple of $10,000.  Upon the release of
Agent’s Liens on any Secured Borrowing Base Cash or Mortgaged Property, such
Secured Borrowing Base Cash or Mortgaged Property shall no longer be included in
the calculation of the Secured Borrowing Base.

    

    (iv)           Modifications to Mortgaged
Property.  A Loan Party (other than M/I Financial Corp. and M/I
Title Agency Ltd.) may, without consent of any Lender, Agent or any Person (A)
make immaterial dispositions (including, but not limited to, lot line
adjustments) of portions of any Mortgaged Property for dedication or public and
permit the creation of Liens to secure the levy of special assessments in favor
of, Governmental Authorities, community development districts and property
owners’ associations, (B) make immaterial dispositions of portions of the
Mortgaged Property to third parties for the purposes of resolving any
encroachments issues, (C) grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations
and rights-of-way

    for
resolving minor encroachment issues or for access, water and sewer lines,
telephone cable and internet lines, electric lines or other utilities or for
other similar purposes, and (D) consent to or join in any land use or other
development approval documents (including subdivision plats, easements and the
like) provided that such disposition, grant or consent does not materially
impair the value, utility or operation of the applicable Mortgaged
Property.  In connection with any disposition or creation of any Lien
or any grant or consent permitted pursuant to this subsection (iv), Agent shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any instrument
reasonably necessary or appropriate in the case of the dispositions referred to
above to release the portion of the Mortgaged Property affected by such
disposition from the Lien of the applicable Mortgage, or to subordinate the Lien
of the applicable Mortgage, or acknowledgement that the Lien of any Mortgage is
subordinate, to such Liens, easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and
rights-of-way or other similar grants, or to evidence such consent or joinder,
in each case upon receipt by Agent of (I) ten (10) Business Days’ prior written
notice thereof; (II) a copy of the applicable instrument or instruments of
disposition or subordination; and (III) a certificate from an officer of
Borrower stating that such disposition does not materially impair the value,
utility or operation of the applicable Mortgaged Property.

    

    (v)           Appraisals.  Agent
shall be entitled to obtain, and at the request of Agent or Required Lenders
shall obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a new Acceptable Appraisal of each Real
Property (or any portion thereof) included in the Secured Borrowing Base not
more than once every twelve (12) months during the term of this
Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing, Agent will be entitled to
obtain (A) at Borrower’s expense, additional Acceptable Appraisals of any such
Real Property (or any portion thereof) if (I) an Event of Default exists, or
(II) an appraisal is required under applicable Requirements of Law and (B) at
the Lenders’ expense, such additional and other Acceptable Appraisals at any
time and from time to time as Agent shall request.

    

    (vi)           Administration of Secured
Borrowing Base.  The Secured Borrowing Base shall be
administered by Agent in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be
established by Agent, as such requirements are described in a notice to Borrower
prior to giving effect thereto.  Administration of the Secured
Borrowing Base shall include, without limitation those activities described on
Exhibit
I.

    

    (vii)           Costs and
Expenses.  Subject to the limitations and conditions contained
in this Agreement, Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses  associated with any of the actions taken under this Section
2.1(b) including, without limitation, (A) all reasonable fees and charges with
respect to any appraisal, re-appraisal,  and survey costs, (B) title
insurance charges and premiums, (C) title search or examination costs, including
abstracts, abstractors' certificates and uniform commercial  code
searches, (D) judgment and tax lien searches for each Loan Party (other than M/I
Financial Corp. and M/I Title Agency Ltd.), (E) reasonable fees and costs of
environmental investigations, site assessments and remediations, (F) recordation
taxes, documentary taxes, transfer taxes and mortgage taxes, (G) filing and
recording fees, (H) reasonable legal fees and expenses and (I) reasonable
subcontractor costs and expenses.

    

    (viii)           Calculation of Secured
Borrowing Base.  (A) Within thirty (30) days after the end of
each calendar month, beginning with the calendar month ending December 31, 2008,
(B) on demand by Agent so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and (C) at such other times as required by this Agreement, Borrowers
shall provide Agent with a Borrowing Base Certificate showing Borrower’s
calculations of the components of the Secured Borrowing Base.  On
demand from Agent, Borrower shall provide Agent with all documentation and other
data supporting such calculations as Agent may require.  In the event
that Agent notifies Borrower in writing of any inaccuracy in a Borrowing Base
Certificate, the amount calculated as the Secured Borrowing Base in such
Borrowing Base Certificate shall be revised as reasonably determined by
Agent.

    (ix)           Other Releases and
Subordinations; Satisfaction of Aggregate Commitments.  Agent
and Lenders agree that:

    

    (A)           Borrower
may request the release or subordination of the security interests and Liens of
Agent on the Security that is (A) uneconomical, excess, damaged, obsolete or
worn out or scrap personal property, (B) other personal property being replaced
with personal property of substantially equivalent value or (C) being pledged to
a secured party providing Secured Indebtedness, whereupon Agent shall release
(or to the extent approved by any such secured party subordinate) such security
interests and Liens within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request
so long as (and by requesting a release or subordination Borrower shall be
deemed to have represented to Agent and the Lenders that) the following
conditions have been satisfied:  (I) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is then continuing or would result therefrom; (II) to the
extent such Security is being pledged to a secured party providing Secured
Indebtedness, such Secured Indebtedness is permitted under Section 7.1, (III)
after giving effect to such release or subordination Aggregate Outstandings do
not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Secured Borrowing Base
(or, during the Initial Period, $65,000,000) and (IV) concurrently with any such
release or subordination of a Mortgaged Property the net proceeds from such
Secured Indebtedness are deposited into the Operating Account.

    

    (B)           Release of Liens Upon
Termination of Commitments.  Agent and Lenders agree that, upon
the termination of the Commitments, termination or expiration of all Facility
L/Cs and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of Aggregate
Outstandings, all of the security interests in, and Liens on, the Security shall
be released, discharged and terminated, and Agent shall (I) execute (as
applicable) and deliver Uniform Commercial Code termination statements (and does
hereby authorize the Loan Parties from and after such date, to file or cause to
be filed such termination statements), intellectual property release documents
and such other instruments of release and discharge pertaining to the security
interests and other Liens granted to Agent pursuant to the Security Documents in
any of the Security being so released as Borrower may reasonably request to
effectuate or to reflect of public record the release and discharge of any such
security interests, and liens, and (II) deliver promptly all Security in its
possession to the extent that the Liens on such Security are being released,
discharged or terminated.  All of the foregoing deliveries shall be at
the expense of Borrower, with no liability to Agent or any Lender and with no
representation or warranty by or recourse to Agent or any Lender.

    

    (x)           Maintenance of the Secured
Borrowing Base.  As of the Closing Date, Borrower shall
transfer to the Secured Borrowing Base Account an amount equal to cash and Cash
Equivalents on Borrower’s consolidated balance sheet in excess of $25,000,000,
if any, and thereafter, during the Initial Period, Borrower shall from time to
time transfer additional amounts to the Secured Borrowing Base Account such that
Secured Borrowing Base Cash at all times is not less than the amount, if any, by
which cash and Cash Equivalents on Borrower’s consolidated balance sheet exceeds
$25,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be
required to transfer to the Borrowing Base Account as of any date, including the
Closing Date, an amount less than $1,000,000 plus any increments in excess
thereof,  rounded up to the nearest multiple of
$10,000.  After the end of the Initial Period, Borrower agrees at all
times to cause the Secured Borrowing Base to be not less than the Aggregate
Outstandings.

    (xi)           Operating
Account.  So long as any Commitment remains in effect, any
portion of any Note or Reimbursement Obligation remains outstanding and unpaid,
any Facility L/C remains outstanding that is not fully collateralized with cash
in a manner satisfactory to the LC Issuer thereof and to Agent, or any other
amount is owing to Agent or any Lender, Borrower agrees that it will maintain
the Operating Account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to Agent at Agent’s
office in the name of Borrower but subject to the control of Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders and LC Issuers.  Borrower hereby pledges,
assigns and grants to Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders and LC Issuers, a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title
and interest in and to the Operating Account and all funds which may from time
to time be on deposit in the Operating Account to secure prompt and complete
payment and performance of the Obligations.  Unless and until an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent will honor all withdrawal,
payment, transfer and other fund disposition or instructions from Borrower that
Borrower is otherwise entitled to give in respect of the Operating
Account.  So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Agent shall be entitled to cease honoring all such instructions
concerning the Account, and Borrower shall have no right or ability to access or
withdraw or transfer funds from the Operating Account.

    

    (b)           Interest.  Subsections
2.5(b), (c) and (d) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated to
read as follows:

    

    (b)           On

    (c)           The
Applicable Margins and Applicable Commitment Rate under the foregoing pricing
grid shall be determined with reference to the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net
Worth Tier as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.  The
determination of the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Tier shall be made
from the most recent annual or quarterly financial statements of Borrower
delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1, and adjustment, if any, to the Applicable
Margins and Applicable Commitment Rate shall take place on, and be effective
from and after, the fifth Business Day after the date on which Agent has
received such financial statements.

    

    (d)           If,
as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of Borrower or a calculation error, Borrower or Agent determines that
(i) the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Tier as calculated by Borrower
as of any applicable date was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the
Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Tier would have resulted in higher
pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be
obligated to pay to Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly
on demand by Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code,
automatically and without further action by Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer),
an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should
have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually
paid for such period.  This subsection 2.5(d) shall not limit the
rights of Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer as the case may be under Section
9.  Borrower’s obligations under this subsection 2.5(d) shall survive
the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.

    (c)           Mandatory
Prepayment.  Subsection 2.6(b) of the Credit Agreement is
amended and restated to read as follows:

    

    (b)           If
as of any date, (i) during the Initial Period, the Aggregate Outstandings exceed
the lesser of $65,000,000 and the Aggregate Commitment or (ii) after the end of
the Initial Period, the Aggregate Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Secured
Borrowing Base and the Aggregate Commitment, then Borrower shall within three
Business Days thereafter prepay Loans and/or cash collateralize the Facility L/C
Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.

    

    (d)           Swingline
Loans.  Subsection 2.12(d) of the Credit Agreement is amended
to insert “Secured” immediately before the phrase “Borrowing Base
requirements.”

    

    (e)           Issuance of Facility
L/Cs.  Clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of subsection 2.15(c) of
the Credit Agreement are amended and restated to read as follows:

    

    (ii)           if,
after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the Facility L/C
requested hereunder, the aggregate principal amount of the Facility L/C
Obligations would exceed the lesser of (A) $100,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate
Commitment;

    

    (iii)           if,
after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the Facility L/C
Requested hereunder the Aggregate Outstandings would exceed the amount permitted
by subsection
2.1(b);

    

    (iv)           intentionally
omitted;

    

    (f)           Defaulting
Lenders.  A new subsection 2.24 is added to the Credit
Agreement immediately after subsection 2.23 to read as follows:

     

    2.24           Defaulting
Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender is or becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, for so long
as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

     

    (a)           the
Commitment and Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining the Required Lenders for purposes of taking any action hereunder;
and

     

    (b)           Borrower
shall within three Business Days following notice by Agent cash collateralize
such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Facility L/C Obligations and
Swingline Loans by depositing cash collateral at Agent’s office in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as any such Facility L/C
Obligations or Swingline Loans remain outstanding.

     

    This
subsection 2.24 may not be amended without the prior written consent of the
Swingline Lender, the LC Issuer and Required Lenders.

    3.           Amendment of Section
4.  Section 4 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add
immediately after subsection 4.19 and a new subsection 4.20 to read as
follows:

    

    4.20           Security
Documents.  Subject to the release provisions of subsection 2.1(b),
the Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the
Security described therein and proceeds thereof.  The account(s) (and
the cash and Secured Borrowing Base Permitted Investments maintained therein)
described in the Collateral Agreement and the Blocked Account Control Agreement
is(are) subject to a security interest perfected by control.  When
financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate
jurisdictions, the security interest created by the Collateral Agreement shall

appointment.  Additionally, PNC Bank, National Association is hereby
appointed as Documentation Agent under this Agreement.  Each Lender
acknowledges that PNC Bank, National Association has been selected by Agent with

Lenders entitled to the benefit of Security include, without limitation, Agent
and its agents.  Each Person acting as agent for Agent shall be (i)
entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other
protective provisions to which Agent is entitled under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the right to resign pursuant to subsection
10.10), (ii) entitled to take actions in its own name, including, without
limitation, the creation and termination of Liens on Security by any Collateral
Agent in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) subject to removal by Agent,

action with respect to any Security or Security Documents which may be necessary
or desirable to perfect or maintain perfected Liens upon the Security on behalf
of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from
any Lender.

    

    (d)           Each
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to release any Lien in accordance
with subsection 2.1(b).  Upon request by Agent at any time, each
Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release Security pursuant to
this subsection 10.12(d) and to take other actions in respect of
Security.

    

    (e)           Subject
to subsection 10.12(d), Agent, directly or indirectly, shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each Lender) to execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of Liens granted directly or indirectly to
Agent on Security; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any
such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent or any of
its agents to or create any liability or entail any consequences other than the
release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall
not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations.

    

    (f)           Neither
Agent nor any of its agents shall have any obligation to any Lender or any other
Person to assure that Security exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan
Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted directly
or indirectly to Agent herein or in any of the Security Documents or pursuant
hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority or
to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any matter any of the rights,
authorities or powers directly or indirectly granted or available to Agent under
this subsection 10.12 or in any of the Security Documents or under any duty of
care, disclosure or fidelity.

    

    (g)           In
accordance with subsection 10.4, Agent and its agents shall be fully protected
in writing on any Loan Document and any other writing or communication believed
by it in good faith to be genuine and correct.  Except as expressly
provided herein, neither Agent nor any of its agents shall be under any
obligation independently to investigate, evaluate or exercise discretion with
respect to any matter, including, without limitation, any appraisal,
environmental assessment, survey, flood hazard certificates, insurance
certificates or policies, title policies or title documents.

    EXHIBIT
I

     

    ADMINISTRATION
OF SECURITY AND SECURED BORROWING BASE

     

    Subject
to the prior written consent of Agent, which Agent may exercise in its sole
discretion:

    

    (a)           Security
Documents.  The Collateral Agreement, the Blocked Account
Control Agreement, each Mortgage and all other Security Documents shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

    

    (b)           Security
Generally. On or
prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, Agent shall receive duly executed
copies of the Collateral Agreement and Blocked Account Control Agreement and,
promptly thereafter, searches of records evidencing that financing statements
have been filed in all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect a security interest
conforming to the representation contained in Section 4.20 of this
Agreement, and, at all times thereafter, Agent shall receive such other
agreements, amendments, documents, assignments, statements or instruments, in
each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, as may be reasonably
necessary to evidence, perfect or otherwise implement the Lien created by the
Security Documents as collateral security for the performance and repayment of
the Obligations (in the case of Borrower) or of the Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined in the Guaranty Agreement in the case of the Guarantors) in accordance
with the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

    

    (c)           Secured Borrowing Base
Cash.  So long as the Secured Borrowing Base includes Secured
Borrowing Base Cash, such Secured Borrowing Base Cash will be held by or on
behalf of Agent in the Secured Borrowing Base Account subject to the Blocked
Account Control Agreement.

    

    (d)           Qualified Real
Property.  So long as the Secured Borrowing Base includes
Qualified Real Property, Agent shall have received those documents, instruments
and agreements contemplated for the Real Property by the definition of Qualified
Real Property.

    

    (e)           Review of Borrowing Base
Certificates.  Each Borrowing Base Certificate will be subject
to review and testing pursuant to such methodologies as Agent shall reasonably
determine.

    

    (f)           Calculation of Appraised
Value of Qualified Real Property and Secured Borrowing
Base.  The Appraised Value of any Qualified Real Property
included in the Secured Borrowing Base shall be subject to adjustments from time
to time approved by Agent in its reasonable discretion to take into account
partial dispositions, costs of improvement, damage, destruction, other casualty,
condemnation, eminent domain, contamination and other adverse
events.  Except as otherwise reasonably determined by 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        Ex.
I-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Agent in
its discretion, Borrower may, but shall not be required to, (i) calculate the
Appraised Value of Qualified Real Property as the actual Appraised Value plus
the book value of improvements since the prior measurement date and (ii) upon
disposition of any such Qualified Real Property, deduct from the Appraised Value
an amount equal to (A) cost of goods sold as a result of such disposition times
(B) a fraction equal to the most recent adjusted Appraised Value of such
Qualified Real Property divided by the corresponding book value of such
Qualified Real Property (including improvements thereto).  Agent may
determine that the Appraised Value of a Qualified Real Property is $0.00 as a
result of material damage, destruction, other casualty, condemnation, eminent
domain, contamination or other adverse event affecting such Qualified Real
Property.

    

    (g)           Inspections.  Agent
or its employees, agents or representatives shall be entitled to inspect
Qualified Real Property from time to time, as
follows:

    

    (i)           at
Agent's option, but no more than twice in any calendar year unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may review the inventory status
from the financial records of the Loan Parties, which will include sales
reports, copies of  contracts, paid invoices, etc.;

    

    (ii)           at
Agent's option, a portion of any material vertical construction may be selected
at random;

    

    (iii)           land
development work for Qualified Real Property will be inspected periodically, but
not more than twice in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, by Agent in its discretion; and

    

    (iv)           material
negative variances between calculations of the Borrowing Base made by Borrower
as adjusted by Agent’s calculations will be discussed with Borrower and, if not
satisfactorily resolved, will be reflected in the next Borrowing Base
Certificate delivered hereunder.

    

    All
inspections made by Agent or its employees, agents or representatives, shall be
made solely and exclusively for the protection and benefit of the Lenders and
neither Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to claim any loss or
damage against Agent, Agent, any Lender or any of their respective employees,
agents or representatives for failure to properly discharge any alleged duties
of Agent.

    

    (h)           Work-in-Progress
Documentation.  Agent shall be entitled to inspect not more
than once each quarter documentation with a scope reasonably identified by Agent
with respect to any work-in-progress, including, without limitation, sales
contracts, loan commitments, buyer deposits, lot purchase closing statements,
certificates of occupancy, notices of commencement, etc.

    

    (i)           Budget.  Upon
request of Agent from time to time, a budget setting forth the estimates of the
total cost of construction for specific Housing Units of a reasonable number and
size included in the Secured Borrowing Base shall be provided by Borrower to
Agent, at Borrower’s sole expense.

    

    (j)           Plan and Cost
Review.  Upon request of Agent from time to time, plans and
cost budgets with respect to land development work in respect of Qualified Real
Property of a reasonable size shall be provided by Borrower to Agent, at
Borrower’s expense.

    

    (k)           Title
Updates.  So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Agent may require, from time to time, such title updates (including
without limitation, ownership and encumbrance reports) with respect to Qualified
Real Property to confirm the lien status of such Security (in particular, that
the Security Documents continue to constitute a first lien on and security
interest in such Security subject only to Limited Permitted Liens), as Agent
deems reasonably prudent all at the Borrower’s sole expense.

    

    (l)           Appraisals.  From
time to time, Agent will require Appraisals to be made in accordance with Section
2.1(b).
