NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH NOTICE, DEBTOR AGREES THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SECURED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COLLATERAL SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL AT ALL TIMES AFTER SECURED PARTY HAS ADVANCED OR COMMITTED TO ADVANCE ALL OR ANY PART OF THE INVOICE COST OF SUCH COLLATERAL TO THE SELLER THEREOF.
6. | Debtors Representations, Warranties and Agreements. |

Page 1 of 6
the date of submission of such information through the date of Debtors signing of this Agreement. Debtor agrees: to defend, at Debtors own expense, any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Collateral; to pay attorneys fees and all other expenses incurred by Secured Party in enforcing its rights after Debtors default hereunder; to pay promptly all taxes, assessments, license fees and other public or private charges when levied or assessed against the Collateral, this Agreement, any Finance Plan or payments to be made in connection therewith (such obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement); that if a certificate of title is required by law with respect to any item of Collateral, Debtor shall obtain such certificate and shall note the security interest of Secured Party thereon and, in any event, shall do everything necessary or expedient to preserve or perfect the security interest of Secured Party therein; that Debtor will not misuse, fail to keep in good repair, secrete or, except as herein expressly permitted, rent, lend, encumber or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral, or use the Collateral for any purpose other than for display or demonstration on Debtors premises without the prior written consent of Secured Party; and that Secured Party may enter upon Debtors premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Collateral and Debtors books and records pertaining to the Collateral with the full cooperation and assistance of Debtor.
6.1 | Covenants. |
Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
Debt Service means at any date of determination, the sum of all mandatory payments of principal and interest due during the 12 months from the date of determination, excluding any balloon maturities. For purposes of determining Debt Service, principal and interest payments on the loans under this Agreement shall be excluded.
Free Cash Flow means Funds From Operations plus non-cash expenses recognized in conjunction with equity-based compensation plus Interest Expense.
Debtor further agrees that Debtor receives good and valuable benefit and consideration from its relationship with American Land Lease, Inc., and as such Debtor agrees that the failure of American Land Lease, Inc., to maintain the following financial covenants as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, based on the publicly released consolidated financial statements of American Land Lease, Inc., may, in Secured Partys sole discretion, cause an immediate suspension of any additional financing under this Agreement:
TNW and Ratio to Debt. Debtor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that American Land Lease, Inc: (i) shall not permit its tangible net worth (TNW) to be less than Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000.00); and (ii) shall not permit its total debt to TNW ratio to exceed 2.0:1. The amounts and ratio referred to in the preceding sentence shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Debtor shall provide to TFC such financial information and with such frequency as TFC may request from time to time, and TFCs calculations of the foregoing amounts and ratios shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Debtor covenants, warrants and agrees with Secured Party that American Land Lease, Inc., shall at all times maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 on the aggregate of all its debt. Debt Service Coverage Ratio will be calculated based upon dividing Free Cash Flow by Debt Service for the applicable measurement date.
7. | Disposition of Collateral by Debtor; Release of Lien. |
Debtor is a merchant engaged in the business of selling the Collateral and other personal property of a kind similar to the Collateral. Both Debtor and Secured Party intend for Debtor to sell the Collateral, but only in the ordinary course of its business as Debtor normally sells such Collateral. Therefore, Debtor may sell any item of Collateral provided that: (a) Debtor is not in default hereunder, (b) the price obtained for such item of Collateral is not less than the unpaid Total Debt attributable thereto, and (c) Debtor holds all of the proceeds of any such sale in trust for, and promptly remits the unpaid Invoice Cost of such item of Collateral to, Secured Party. Debtor acknowledges that Secured Party may extend financial accommodations, in an amount equal to all or a portion of the Debtors sales price, to the purchaser or lessee of an item of Collateral from Debtor. In such a case, the unpaid Invoice Cost of such item of Collateral and the amount to be financed by Secured Party may be offset against one another to determine the amount payable by or to Debtor.
8. | Insurance and Risk of Loss. |
At all times during the term of this Agreement, Debtor shall bear the entire risk of loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Collateral. Debtor will procure and continuously maintain all risk property insurance covering each item of Collateral for the full replacement value thereof, plus such other insurance as Secured Party may specify from time to time. Each policy of insurance shall contain a standard Lenders Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Secured Party, providing for, among other things, thirty (30) days prior written notice to Secured Party of any cancellation, non-renewal or modification of such coverage. Secured Partys acceptance of policies in lesser amounts in one instance shall not be a waiver of Debtors obligations hereunder in any other instances. In the event of Debtors failure to secure and maintain insurance as herein required, Secured Party may to protect and insure the Collateral, at its sole option, secure such insurance on behalf of Debtor and Debtor hereby promises to pay to Secured Party on demand any amounts expended by Secured Party in securing such insurance as part of the obligations payment of which is secured by the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Insurance purchased by Secured Party may include coverage beyond those required by this Section. The cost of such insurance may include: (i) premium expense; (ii) premium finance charges; and (iii) fees for billing and other administrative services. Secured Partys affiliates may act as insurance carrier, premium finance company and/or insurance administrator, and may be compensated through premium charges, commissions, premium rebates and fees. Debtor acknowledges that any insurance obtained by Secured Party is solely for the benefit of Secured Party and may be more expensive than insurance obtained by Debtor. Secured Party will promptly discontinue any insurance purchased by Secured Party upon Debtors presentation of proper evidence of valid insurance meeting the requirements of this Section. Debtor hereby agrees that Secured Party may act as Debtors representative in making, adjusting and settling claims under or canceling any such insurance policies covering the Collateral, and endorsing Debtors name on any drafts, checks or other instruments drawn by an insurer of the Collateral.
9. | Events of Default; Acceleration. |
Debtor and Secured Party acknowledge that time is of the essence in this Agreement. The following are events of default under this Agreement permitting Secured Party to take such action under Paragraph 10 of this Agreement, as Secured Party deems necessary:

(h) | all or any part of the Collateral is attached, levied or seized upon in any proceeding and such process is not discharged within ten (10) days; |
(i) | Secured Party believes that the prospect of payment or performance of Debtors and/or its affiliates obligations to Secured Party and/or its affiliates is impaired, whether by reason of a material adverse change in the business prospects or financial condition of Debtor or otherwise, or, in good faith, believes that the Collateral is insufficient security for Debtors obligations to Secured Party; or |
(j) | any guarantor, surety or endorser for any of Debtors and/or its affiliates obligations to Secured Party and/or its affiliates dies, defaults in any obligation or liability owing to Secured Party or any affiliate of Secured Party, or any guaranty of the obligations secured hereby is terminated. |

10. | Secured Partys Remedies After Default; Consent to Enter Premises. |
Upon a default hereunder, and at any time thereafter, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws, including the right to collect from Debtor any deficiency remaining after disposition of the Collateral. Debtor agrees that Secured Party may, by itself or through an agent, without notice to any person and without judicial process of any kind, enter into any premises or upon any land owned, leased or otherwise under the apparent control of Debtor where Secured Party believes the Collateral may be, and disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess all or any items of the Collateral. Debtor expressly waive all rights to possession of the Collateral after default and all claims for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such entering and/or repossession by Secured Party. Debtor shall, upon demand by Secured Party, assemble the Collateral and return it to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party. Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to the notice address of Debtor shown herein at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of the Collateral. Debtor agrees that the repurchase of any item of Collateral by the manufacturer or any distributor thereof shall constitute a commercially reasonable private sale of the Collateral by Secured Party, if the price obtained is equal to: (a) the then outstanding Invoice Cost of such item of Collateral, minus (b) amounts incurred, if any, to restore such item of Collateral to the equivalent of unused condition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like shall include attorneys fees and other legal expenses. Debtor understands that Secured Partys rights are cumulative and not alternative.
11. | Waiver of Defaults; Agreement Inclusive. |
Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, waive a default or cure a default at Debtors expense. Any such waiver in any particular instance or any waiver of a particular default shall not be a waiver of any other defaults at the same time or at any other time. No modification or change in this Agreement, or supplement hereto, shall bind Secured Party unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Secured Party.
12. | Financing Statements; Financial Information. |
Debtor shall execute all financing statements or other instruments which Secured Party reasonably deems to be necessary or appropriate to protect and perfect its security interest in the Collateral. Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file a financing statement with respect to the Collateral. Debtor will deliver to Secured Party, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of Debtor, Debtors balance sheet and statement of income (Financial Statements), certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants as having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as presenting fairly the financial condition of Debtor as of the date thereof and for the period then ended. Upon request, Debtor will deliver to Secured Party, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal quarter of the Debtor, copies of Debtors quarterly Financial Statements certified by the chief financial officer of Debtor as presenting fairly the financial condition of Debtor as of the date thereof and for the period then ended.

Page 3 of 6
credit limit for Debtor and may adjust such credit limit from time to time. Such credit limit will not constitute a committed line of credit. It is the intention of Secured Party not to charge interest pursuant to the Finance Plans at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law. In making such determination, interest on any outstanding loan amount shall be spread over the entire period that such loan amount is outstanding.
