11. Florida Contract. This Fifth Amendment shall be deemed a Florida contract and shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of whether this Fifth Amendment is executed by certain of the parties hereto in other states.

12. Time. Time is of the essence of this Fifth Amendment.

If Borrower enters into a Rate Management Agreement, Borrower promises to promptly pay all Rate Management Obligations, and perform all of the covenants and obligations under the Rate Management Agreements. Any default under the Rate Management Agreements or failure to pay the Rate Management Obligations when due shall be a default under the Loan. The payment and performance of the Loan Documents, the Rate Management Agreements and Rate Management Obligations are all secured under the terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Fifth Amendment.

14. Binding Effect and Modification. This Fifth Amendment shall bind the successors and assigns to the parties hereto and constitutes the entire understanding of the parties, which may not be modified except in writing, executed by all parties hereto in the same form as this Fifth Amendment.
