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

(c)           Borrower makes any distribution or pays any dividend or other sums to any owner, partner or member of Borrower, or makes any intercompany advance or loan to any Affiliate of Borrower, as prohibited herein and in violation of any covenant in any of the Loan Documents;

(e)           Borrower otherwise defaults under any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (the deficiencies described in clauses (a) through (e) of this provision being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Trailing Construction Costs");
 
then, at its option, Agent may require, as a condition to Borrower's right to obtain a partial release of any portion of the Property, and in addition to the payment to Agent of the applicable Release Price, that Borrower pay to Agent either: (A) an amount in cash equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the Lot(s) and/or Home(s) being released in the Project minus such Release Price and such reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale as are approved by Agent in its sole discretion, or (B) such greater amount as Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary to pay any such lien and such Trailing Construction Costs.  Any excess amounts paid to Agent over and above the applicable Release Price may be used or disbursed by Agent under the Master Line in such manner as Agent may determine in payment of any charge, claim, lien or expense related to any Lot or Home under the Master Line, or to apply against any amounts then due to Agent under the terms of any of the Loan Documents, or to create or increase Borrower's Deposit, all as Agent determines to be appropriate in its sole discretion.
 
6.2                 Master Line Advance Limitations.   Agent shall not be required to disburse any amount under the Master Line, as applicable, which, in Agent's reasonable opinion, will either (a) reduce the total undisbursed Commitment Amount below the amount necessary to pay for the balance of the work, labor and materials necessary to fully complete construction of the applicable Improvements and the payment of all costs in connection therewith, or (b) reduce the undisbursed amount of Allocations under the applicable Budget below the amount which Agent, in Agent's reasonable opinion, deems sufficient to pay in full the costs to which such amount is allocated (the deficiencies described in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence being hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Loan Deficiency").

(a)           deposit with Agent pursuant to Section 6.3 below the amount that Agent, in its reasonable opinion, deems necessary to cure said Loan Deficiency, or

(b)           furnish Agent with paid invoices, bills and receipts indicating that Borrower has paid, from Borrower's own funds, the costs of balancing said loan and curing the Loan Deficiency thereunder.
 
6.2.2           All amounts deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the payment of the cost of construction of the Improvements for the Project prior to any further disbursement of any applicable loan funds.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this section, in determining whether a Loan Deficiency exists, Agent, at its option, may determine what sums are available by reallocating between specific Allocations, and Agent may also review the amount of any holdback before requesting that any sum be paid by Borrower under this section.
 
6.3                 Borrower's Deposit.  If at any time Agent shall in its reasonable discretion deems that:

Agent may refuse to make any additional Advances to Borrower until Borrower shall have deposited with Agent sufficient additional funds ("Borrower's Deposit") to cover the deficiency which Agent deems to exist in connection with said Master Line.  Such Borrower's Deposit will be disbursed by Agent to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof as if they constituted a portion of the Master Line being made hereunder.  Borrower agrees upon ten (10) days' written demand by Agent to deposit with Agent such Borrower's Deposit.  Unless required by Governmental Requirements, Agent shall not be required to pay interest on Borrower's Deposit.

7.5                 Advance Not An Approval.  The making of any Advance or part thereof under the Master Line shall not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Agent of the work theretofore done for the Project.  Agent shall have no obligation to make any Advance or part thereof under the Master Line after the happening of any Event of Default, but shall have the right and option so to do; provided, however, that if Agent elects to make any such Advance, no such Advance shall be deemed to be either a waiver of the right to demand payment of the Master Line, or any part thereof, or an obligation to make any other Advance under the Master Line.

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

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

11.1                 No Obligation by Agent To Construct.  Agent has no liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the Project financed by the Master Line made hereunder or the development, construction or completion thereof or work performed thereon, and has no obligation except to disburse the Master Line proceeds for said Project as herein agreed.  Neither Agent nor Lenders are obligated to inspect the Improvements for the Project, nor are Agent or Lenders liable, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall Agent or Lender be or become liable, for the performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or for any failure to construct, complete, protect or insure that said Project, or any part thereof, or for the payment of any cost or expense incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower to Agent or Lenders nor to any other person, firm or entity without limitation.  Nothing, including without limitation any disbursement of proceeds of the Master Line made hereunder or Borrower's Deposit nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as such a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Agent or a Lender's part.
 
11.2                 No Obligation by Agent To Operate.  Any term or condition of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Agent nor Lenders shall have, and by their execution and acceptance of this Agreement they hereby expressly disclaim, any obligation or responsibility for the management, conduct or operation of the business and affairs of Borrower.  Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits Agent and/or Lenders to disburse funds under the Master Line made hereunder, whether from the proceeds of the Master Line, Borrower's Deposit or otherwise, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to Borrower, any Project or any other collateral for repayment of the Master Line, shall be deemed to be solely to permit Agent and/or Lenders to audit and review the management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower, and to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Agent and Lenders for the Master Line, and may not be relied upon by any other person.  Further, neither Agent nor Lenders shall have assumed and by their execution and acceptance of this Agreement they hereby expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower and no term or condition of the Loan Documents, shall be construed otherwise.  Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower, Agent and Lenders to be other than that of borrower, guarantor, agent and lender, and Borrower shall at all times represent that the relationship between Borrower, Agent and Lenders is solely that of borrower, guarantor, agent and lender.

11.3                 No Agency.  Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Agent or Lenders as the agent of Borrower in making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or subcontracts entered into by Borrower for construction of any Improvements in connection with any Project financed by the Master Line made hereunder or otherwise.  The purpose of all requirements of Agent hereunder is solely to allow Agent to check and require documentation (including, but not limited to, lien waivers) sufficient to protect Agent and Lenders and the Master Line contemplated hereby.  Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Agent, Borrower hereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole responsibility for constructing the Improvements for each such Project and paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely, on Borrower's own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor and each materialman for each such Project, Agent and Lenders having no responsibility for any such persons or entities or for the quality of their materials or workmanship.
 
12.           SPECIAL DEPOSIT.  If, at any time Borrower seeks to obtain a partial release of any of the Property, no unpaid balance of the Advances then exists but Additional Obligations are then outstanding or all of the Advances to be made under said Master Line have not yet been made, then, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to obtain such partial releases in accordance herewith provided any remaining balance of the Net Sales Proceeds following payment to Agent of the Partial A&D Release Price and/or Release Price, as applicable, is delivered to Agent as a special deposit ("Special Deposit") to be held by Agent as additional collateral for the Indebtedness.  To the extent of any Advances thereafter made under the Master Line, Agent may apply any sums held as a Special Deposit to reduce the principal balance then outstanding under the Master Line.  Such Special Deposit will be disbursed by Agent to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof as if they constituted a portion of the Master Line being made hereunder.  Unless required by Governmental Requirements, Agent shall not be required to pay interest on the Special Deposit.
