1



 

amount and at the times as set forth in a separate letter agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent dated July 9, 2010;

 

1.7                      All conditions precedent to the Bay Golf Course Release (as defined, and as such conditions are set forth, in Section 3 below) have been satisfied; and

 

1.8                      All payments due and owing to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents have been paid current as of the effective date of this Agreement.

 

2.                            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no Default, Potential Default, breach or failure of condition has occurred, or would exist with notice or the lapse of time or both, under any of the Loan Documents (as modified by this Agreement) and that all representations and warranties herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date), which representations and warranties shall survive execution of this Agreement.

 

3.                            Bay Golf Course Release.  Administrative Agent shall, at Borrower’s request, release from the lien of the Mortgage (the “Bay Golf Course Release”) the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Bay Golf Course”); provided, however, that immediately prior to or simultaneously with such partial release all of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

 

(a)                       No Default or Event of Default shall exist under the Loan Documents;

 

(b)                       Administrative Agent shall have received any and all sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents together with all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such partial release and the cost of any title insurance endorsements required by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, a CLTA and 111 endorsement;

 

(c)                        Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that:  (i) the portion of the Property to be reconveyed and the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the Mortgage are each legal parcels lawfully created in compliance with all subdivision laws and ordinances and, at Borrower’s sole cost, Administrative Agent shall have received any title insurance endorsements to that effect requested by Administrative Agent; and (ii) that the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the Mortgage have the benefit of all utilities, easements, public and/or private streets, covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be necessary, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, for the anticipated development and improvement thereof;

(e)                        Administrative Agent shall have received in immediately available funds for the ratable benefit of the Lenders the Bay Golf Course Release Price.  As used herein, the “Bay Golf Course Release Price” shall mean the sum of $20,000,000.00.  The Bay Golf Course Release Price shall be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders to reduce their respective Revolving Commitments (as shown on Replacement Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference).

 

Neither the acceptance of any payment nor the issuance of any partial release by Administrative Agent shall affect Borrower’s obligation to repay all amounts owing under the Loan Documents or under the lien of the Mortgage on the remainder of the Property which is not reconveyed.

 

4.                            REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE 1To reflect the decrease in the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement is replaced with Replacement Schedule 1 to this Agreement.  The Revolving Note delivered by Borrower to each Lender is hereby amended to reduce the face principal amount of such Revolving Note to the Revolving Commitment of such Lender shown on Replacement Schedule 1.  To the extent that giving effect to such modified schedule requires a reallocation of outstanding Revolving Loans, the Lenders agree that,

effective as of the date of this Amendment or on such other date as the Lenders may agree in writing, Revolving Loans shall be purchased and sold, as all though assignments were made in accordance with Paragraph 12.6 of the Loan Agreement without regard to minimum amounts, registration fees payable upon assignment or requirements for assignment and assumptions agreements or other additional Loan Documents.

 

5.                            DEFINITION OF MORTGAGEThe definition of “Mortgage” in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
