ARTICLE II
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL NOTES

2.1    Provided Lender has no further obligation to advance principal under the Notes to Borrowers, beginning January 1, 2015, Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice, to prepay (on a Business Day only) the Notes in full with a Prepayment Fee (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that such notice must contain the anticipated date of prepayment. If Borrowers fail to prepay on, or within five (5) Business Days after such anticipated date of prepayment, such failure shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of Borrowers' notice of prepayment, and Borrowers shall be required to submit another written notice of prepayment pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.1 if Borrowers thereafter elect to prepay the Notes. This Prepayment Fee represents consideration to Lender for loss of yield and reinvestment costs and shall also be payable whenever prepayment occurs as a result of the application of Condemnation Proceeds; provided, however, that no Prepayment Fee shall be due if Lender elects to apply insurance loss proceeds to the prepayment of the Notes. The Prepayment Fee shall be the greater of Yield Maintenance or one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes (the "Prepayment Fee"). The Prepayment Fee shall be calculated as of the Prepayment Fee Determination Date.

"Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which: (i) Lender is closed for business or (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed for business.

"Yield Maintenance" means the amount, if any, by which

(i)    the present value on the Prepayment Fee Determination Date of the Then Remaining Payments determined by using the Periodic Discount Rate; exceeds






(ii)    the outstanding principal balance of the Notes (exclusive of all accrued interest) on the Prepayment Fee Determination Date.

"Prepayment Fee Determination Date" means

(A)
In the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date of the voluntary prepayment;
(B)

(C)
In the case of a prepayment following an acceleration of the Indebtedness, the date of such acceleration;
(D)

(E)
In the case of a prepayment due to a condemnation:
(F)

(1)
involving the filing of a claim for the Prepayment Fee with the condemning authority or court of competent jurisdiction, the date of such filing; or

(2)
not involving the filing of a claim for the Prepayment Fee with the condemning authority or court of competent jurisdiction, the date of such prepayment;

(G)
In the case of any Individual Borrower becoming a debtor in a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, the date of Lender's filing of its proof of claim in such proceeding.

"Then Remaining Payments" means payments in such amounts and at such times as would have been payable subsequent to the Prepayment Fee Determination Date (assuming prepayment in full is made on the first day on which it is permitted without payment of a Prepayment Fee) in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

"Periodic Discount Rate" means the rate which, when compounded monthly, equals the Treasury Rate.

"Treasury Rate" means:

(A)
The linearly interpolated yield, compounded semi-annually, of the two (2) most recently auctioned (on the run) non-callable U.S. Treasury bonds, notes or bills (other than inflation indexed (i.e., inflation protected) securities) issued by the United States Treasury having maturity dates equivalent or most nearly equivalent to the Average Life Date as reported (on-line or otherwise) by The Wall Street Journal one (1) Business Day prior to the Prepayment Fee Determination Date; or

(A)
If the yields from (A) above are not available, the linearly interpolated yield, compounded semi-annually, of the two (2) Treasury Constant Maturity Series (other than inflation indexed (i.e., inflation protected) securities) having constant maturity dates equivalent or most nearly equivalent to the Average Life Date as reported, for the latest day for which such yields shall have been so reported, as of one (1) Business Day preceding the Prepayment Fee Determination Date, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or comparable successor publication); or






(C)
If the yields from (A) and (B) above are not available, a rate comparable to what would have been calculated under clause (A) or (B) above, as reasonably determined by Lender.

To the extent that the source used in (A), (B) or (C) above updates treasury yield information during the day, Lender shall rely on the treasury yields reported prior to 12:00 Noon (Central Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Prepayment Fee Determination Date.

"Average Life Date" means the date which is the Remaining Average Life from the Prepayment Fee Determination Date.

"Remaining Average Life" means the number of years (calculated to the nearest day) obtained by dividing:

(A)    the sum of the products obtained by multiplying

(1)    the principal component of each Then Remaining Payment;

by

(2)    the number of years (calculated to the nearest day) that will elapse between the Prepayment Fee Determination Date and the scheduled due date of such Then Remaining Payment;

by

(B)    The outstanding principal balance of the Notes (exclusive of all accrued interest) on the Prepayment Fee Determination Date.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default followed by the acceleration of the whole Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the payment of such Indebtedness will constitute an evasion of the prepayment terms hereunder and be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereof and such payment will, therefore, to the extent not prohibited by law, include the Prepayment Fee required under the prepayment in full right recited above.

In the event of a partial prepayment of the Notes for any reason contemplated in the Loan Documents, the Prepayment Fee, if required, shall be an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee if the Notes were prepaid in full, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the principal amount prepaid and the denominator of which shall be the outstanding principal balance of the Notes immediately preceding the Prepayment Fee Determination Date with respect to such partial prepayment.

Notwithstanding the above and provided no Individual Borrower is in default under any provision contained in the Loan Documents, the Notes may be prepaid in full at any time, without a prepayment fee, during the last sixty (60) days of the term of the Notes.






            Further notwithstanding the above, in the event of Significant Flood Damage (defined below) affecting the Indian Creek Project (as defined in Section 6.3 below), the Notes may be prepaid in full (within 12 months of the occurrence of such Significant Flood Damage), without a Prepayment Fee, provided, however, that Borrowers shall pay a $250,000 accommodation fee to Lender on the date of such prepayment.  "Significant Flood Damage" shall mean a flood has adversely impacted the Indian Creek Project such that:

(i)
A written notification from Borrowers to Lender confirms with reasonably satisfactory support that not less than 40% of the lots in the Indian Creek Project are damaged and repair and occupancy thereof is not possible, or

(ii)
(a) 40% of the lots in the Indian Creek Project are vacant and/or occupied by flood-damaged homes with no notice or indication that the respective tenants thereof intend to repair, replace or occupy such damaged homes, and

(b) the Projected Debt Service Coverage (as defined in Section 6.3 below, except that Approved Leases shall allow for those to commence within 180 days of restoration) is .85 or less as reasonably determined by Lender, and

(c) Borrower notifies Lender in writing within 12 months of the Significant Flood Damage that it does not intend to rebuild and/or release a significant portion of the Indian Creek Project within the 36 month period following the Significant Flood Damage.

In the event of such prepayment, Borrower (and/or its affiliates) agrees not to place secured financing (other than Borrower's and Principal's existing line of credit applicable at the portfolio-wide level) exceeding $45,000,000 on the Indian Creek Project for a 36 month period following the Significant Flood Damage.

The prepayment of the Notes as herein provided, together with the Prepayment Fee (if required as herein provided) if received by Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on a Business Day, shall be credited on that Business Day, or, if received by Lender at or after 12:00 p.m. Central Time on a Business Day, shall, at Lender's option, be credited on the next Business Day.

2.2    Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, if Lender shall take action to enforce the collection of the Indebtedness, its recourse shall, except as provided below, be limited to the Property or the proceeds from the sale of the Property and the proceeds realized by Lender in exercising its rights and remedies (i) under the Absolute Assignments, (ii) under the Guarantee of Recourse Obligations of even date herewith executed by Principal for the benefit of Lender and under other separate guarantees, if any, (iii) under any of the other Loan Documents and (iv) in any other collateral securing the Indebtedness. If such proceeds are insufficient to pay the Indebtedness, Lender will never institute any action, suit, claim or demand in law or in equity against Borrowers for or on account of such deficiency; provided, however, that the provisions contained in this paragraph

(i)    shall not in any way affect or impair the validity or enforceability of the Indebtedness or the Lien Instruments; and






(ii)    shall not prevent Lender from seeking and obtaining a judgment against Borrowers, and Borrowers shall be personally liable, for the Recourse Obligations.

"Recourse Obligations" means

(a) rents and other income from the Property received by an Individual Borrower or those acting on behalf of an Individual Borrower from and after the date of any default under the Loan Documents remaining uncured prior to the Conveyance Date (as hereinafter defined), which rents and other income have not been applied to the payment of principal and interest on the Notes or to reasonable operating expenses of the Property (which includes payment of a management fee of 3.25%);

(b) amounts necessary to repair any damage to the Property caused by the intentional acts or omissions of an Individual Borrower or those acting on behalf of an Individual Borrower;

(g) all security deposits under leases of the Property or any portion of the Property collected by an Individual Borrower, any agent of an Individual Borrower or any predecessor of an Individual Borrower, and not refunded to the tenants thereunder in accordance with their respective leases, applied in accordance with such leases or law or delivered to Lender, and all advance rents collected by an Individual Borrower, any agent of an Individual Borrower or any predecessor of an Individual Borrower and not applied in accordance with the leases of the Property or delivered to Lender;

"Valid Tender" means (i) a Tender and (ii) the passage of the Review Period, during which period, an Individual Borrower shall not create any consensual liens on the Property and such Individual Borrower shall not be or become a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding or the subject of any other insolvency proceeding (other than a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding commenced by Lender or any of its affiliates).

"Review Period" means the period of time from the date of the Tender until the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days thereafter or (ii) the date of acceptance of the Tender by Lender or Lender's designee.

Lender or Lender's designee shall have the Review Period to accept or reject a Tender to enable Lender or Lender's designee to review title to, and obtain an environmental assessment of, the Property, and, at Lender's or Lender's designee's option, the deed and lease assignment shall be deposited into an escrow during the Review Period.

If Lender or Lender's designee shall not accept such Tender within the Review Period, the Tender shall be deemed to be rejected, but a Valid Tender shall remain a Valid Tender despite such rejection.

2.3    All amounts due Lender including principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest not paid when due (without regard to any notice and/or cure provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents), including principal becoming due by reason of acceleration by Lender of the entire unpaid balance of the Notes, shall bear interest from the due date thereof until paid at the Default Rate.

The Property Financial Statements Due Date and the Requested Financial Statements Due Date are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Financial Statements Due Date".

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Financial Statements Due Date for a particular financial statement be prior to the 90th day following the close of the fiscal year covered by such financial statement.

If audited, the financial statements identified in sections (A)(i), (A)(ii), and (B)(i) through (B)(v) above, shall each be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and audited by an independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm. All unaudited statements shall contain a certification by a senior officer of Principal stating that they have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that they are true and correct. The expense of preparing all of the financial statements required in (A) and (B) above, shall be borne by Borrowers.

Borrowers acknowledge that Lender requires the financial statements and information required herein to record accurately the value of the Property for financial and regulatory reporting.

Lender acknowledges that the financial statements and information delivered to Lender by Borrowers during the due diligence is in a format satisfactory to Lender for delivery going-forward.

In addition to all other remedies available to Lender hereunder, at law and in equity, if any financial statement, additional information or proof of payment of property taxes and assessments is not furnished to Lender as required in this Article entitled "Financial Statements" and in Article VIII hereof entitled "Deposits", within thirty (30) days after Lender shall have given written notice to Borrowers that it has not been received as required,

(x) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness shall as of the applicable Financial Statements Due Date or the date such additional information or proof of payment of property taxes and assessments was due, accrue and become payable at a rate equal to the sum of the Interest Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum (the "Increased Rate"); and

The amount of the payments due under the Notes during the time in which the Increased Rate shall be in effect shall be changed to an amount which is sufficient to reflect the Increased Rate with no change in the amortization of the unpaid principal balance. Interest shall continue to accrue and be due and payable monthly at the Increased Rate until the date (the "Receipt Date") on which all of the financial statements, additional information and proof of payment of property taxes and assessments (as requested by Lender) shall be furnished to or made available to Lender as required. Commencing on the Receipt Date, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the





Notes shall again accrue at the Interest Rate with no change in amortization, and the payments due during the remainder of the term of the Notes shall be changed to an amount which is sufficient to amortize the then unpaid principal balance at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to conduct an independent audit at its own expense at any time.

ARTICLE I

any transfer, exchange, issuance or redemption of the limited partnership interests of Principal by any person, so long as not less than 70% of the assets of Principal (which includes those partnership units that are convertible into shares of Sun Communities, Inc. stock) are owned and controlled by Sun Communities, Inc., or any transfer, exchange, issuance or redemption of the stock, membership interests,





partnership interests or other ownership interests of any shareholder, partner, member, manager or trust who is a direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of a limited partnership interest in Principal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided there is then no Default under any Loan Document, upon the prior written request from Borrowers, Lender shall not withhold its consent to a change in the ownership in Principal and Sun Communities, Inc., due to a merger by or acquisition of Principal and the vast majority of its assets (not less than 80% of its assets) which results in an entity of greater size and financial wherewithal (the "Transfer"), provided:

(A)    The replacement Principal (the "Creditworthy Party") has a net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of not less than that of the existing Principal prior to the Transfer (in no event less than $1,000,000,000.00 on a market value basis);

(B)    The Creditworthy Party is experienced in the ownership and management of high quality manufactured housing and RV parks;

(C)
The Creditworthy Party, and all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in the Creditworthy Party are not (and have never been): (a) subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceedings or any criminal charges or proceedings, or (b) a litigant, plaintiff, or defendant in any suit brought against or by Lender;

(D)    The Creditworthy Party executes Lender's then current forms of Guarantee of Recourse Obligations and Environmental Indemnity Agreement, the Creditworthy Party executes a Flood Indemnity Agreement and a Fraudulent Conveyance Indemnity Agreement in the forms previously executed by Principal as of the date hereof, and Lender receives a satisfactory enforceability opinion with respect to the foregoing from counsel approved by Lender;

(E)    An environmental report on the Property which meets Lender's then current requirements and is updated to no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the Transfer, is provided to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Transfer and the results of said report are satisfactory to Lender at the time of the Transfer; and

(F)    If required by Lender, Lender receives an endorsement to its policy of title insurance, satisfactory to Lender, insuring Lender's lien on the Property as a first and valid lien subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved by Lender.

If Borrowers shall make a Transfer pursuant to the above conditions, Lender shall be paid a fee equal to 0.75% of the then outstanding balance of the Notes ($25,000.00 non-refundable to be submitted with such request with the balance due at the closing of the Transfer). No modification of the interest rate or repayment terms of the Notes will be required. Support documentation shall be timely provided to Lender and in satisfactory form prior to the Transfer.






ARTICLE V
PROHIBITION AGAINST OTHER LIENS AND RENT ASSIGNMENTS

5.1    Except for the Second Lien Instruments and the Second Absolute Assignments, Borrowers agree to keep the Property and any Personal Property (as defined in the Lien Instruments) free from all other liens either prior or subsequent to the lien created by the First Lien Instrument other than Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the Second Lien Instruments and the Second Absolute Assignments, the (i) creation of any other lien on any portion of the Property or on any Personal Property, whether or not prior to the lien created by the First Lien Instruments, (ii) assignment or pledge by any Individual Borrower of its revocable license to collect, use and enjoy rents and profits from the Property, or (iii) granting or permitting of a security interest in or other encumbrance on the direct or indirect ownership interests in any Individual Borrower, shall constitute a default under the terms of the Lien Instruments; except that upon written notice to Lender, Borrowers may proceed to contest in good faith and by appropriate proceedings any mechanics liens, tax liens or judgment liens with respect to the Property or any Personal Property described herein, provided funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow account satisfactory to Lender.

ARTICLE VI
INSURANCE; APPLICATION OF INSURANCE LOSS PROCEEDS

6.1    Borrowers agree to keep the Property insured for the protection of Lender and Lender's wholly owned subsidiaries and agents in such manner, in such amounts and in such companies as Lender may from time to time approve, and to keep the policies therefor, properly endorsed, on deposit with Lender, or at Lender's option, to keep evidence of insurance acceptable to Lender evidencing all insurance coverages required hereunder on deposit with Lender, which evidence shall reflect at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Lender and shall list Lender as the certificate holder or as a similar additional interest with Lender's correct mailing address and the loan number assigned to the loan (340025); if Borrowers request Lender to accept a different form of evidence, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, provided, a copy of a standard mortgagee endorsement in favor of Lender stating that the insurer shall provide at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Lender accompanies such evidence. Borrowers shall furnish Lender with evidence of renewals of all applicable insurance no later than fifteen (15) days after the actual insurance expiration date.

Notwithstanding the above, in addition to all other remedies available to Lender hereunder, at law, and in equity, if at any time during the term of the Indebtedness Borrowers fail to provide Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender's written request (the "Evidence of Insurance Due Date"), with evidence of insurance in a form required by Lender, evidencing that Borrowers are maintaining the insurance required by Lender, then interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness shall, as of the Evidence of Insurance Due Date, accrue and be payable at the Increased Rate (as defined in the section herein entitled "Financial Statements"). The amount of the payments due during the time in which the Increased Rate is in effect shall be increased with no change in amortization. Commencing on the date on which Lender receives evidence of insurance in a form required by Lender evidencing that Borrowers are maintaining the insurance





required by Lender, interest on the unpaid principal balance shall again accrue at the Interest Rate and the payments shall be reduced accordingly. Borrowers and Lender acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this paragraph, in addition to all other remedies available to Lender hereunder, at law and in equity, shall apply regardless of the cost of the insurance required by Lender or whether the insurance required by Lender is then available to Borrowers.

6.2    If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty and the amount of such damage is greater than $250,000.00, Borrowers shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender (provided that Borrowers shall be required to give such notice to Lender in any event if any bodily injury or death occurs in connection with any such casualty). Following the occurrence of a casualty, Borrowers, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements on the Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law.

6.3    All insurance loss proceeds from all property insurance policies (less expenses of collection), whether or not required by Lender, shall, at Lender's option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or to the restoration of the Property, or be released to Borrowers, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents. If Lender elects to apply the insurance loss proceeds on the Indebtedness, no prepayment fee shall be due thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, Lender agrees that if the insurance loss proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and if the casualty occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Notes, then the insurance loss proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition prior to the casualty, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a)    There is no existing Event of Default at the time of casualty.

(b)    The casualty insurer has not denied liability for payment of insurance loss proceeds to Borrowers as a result of any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the Property by Borrowers.

(c)    Lender shall be satisfied that all insurance loss proceeds so held, together with supplemental funds to be made available by Borrowers, shall be sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property. Any remaining insurance loss proceeds may, at the option of Lender, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether or not due, or be released to Borrowers.

(d)    If required by Lender, Lender shall be furnished a satisfactory report addressed to Lender from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to Lender to the effect that no material adverse environmental impact to the Property resulted from the casualty, which cannot be sufficiently mitigated as evidenced by satisfactory support documentation (e.g. contracts, reports, agreements to complete work, testing).






(e)    Lender shall release casualty insurance proceeds as restoration of the Property progresses provided that Lender is furnished satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default under the Loan Documents and no Non-Monetary Default under the Loan Documents with respect to which Non-Monetary Default Lender shall have given Borrowers notice pursuant to Article X hereof entitled "Notice of Default". If a Monetary Default shall occur or Lender shall give Borrowers notice of a Non-Monetary Default, Lender shall have no further obligation to release insurance loss proceeds hereunder unless such default is cured within the cure period set forth in the "Notice of Default" provision contained herein. If the estimated cost of restoration exceeds $250,000.00, (i) the drawings and specifications for the restoration shall be approved by Lender in writing prior to commencement of the restoration, and (ii) Lender shall receive an administration fee equal to one percent (1%) of the cost of restoration.

(f)    Prior to each release of funds, Borrowers shall obtain for the benefit of Lender an endorsement to Lender's title insurance policy insuring Lender's lien as a first and valid lien on the applicable Project subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved by Lender.

(g)    Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, but not limited to, outside legal fees, title insurance costs, third‑party disbursement fees, third‑party engineering reports and inspections deemed necessary by Lender.

(h)    All reciprocal easement and operating agreements benefiting the Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect between the parties thereto on and after restoration of the Property.

(i)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage of at least 1.10 will be achieved from the leasing of not more than 80% of the sites within the Property with leases satisfactory to Lender (Borrowers' standard form reasonably approved by Lender) to commence not later than (a) expiration of the loss of rents payment under the respective insurance policy covering the Property, or (ii) twenty-four (24) months from the date of the casualty (the "Approved Leases").

Notwithstanding the above, provided there is then no default in the terms and conditions of any Loan Document (excluding non-monetary defaults resulting from the casualty), in the event of flood damage to the Project identified as Indian Creek (the "Indian Creek Project"), Lender agrees to the release of all available insurance proceeds applicable to the Indian Creek Project to such Individual Borrower, regardless of whether any or all of the conditions to disbursement set forth herein are satisfied, provided all such proceeds are applied towards the restoration of the Indian Creek Project, with any excess proceeds to be handled as described above. For purposes hereof, costs of restoration shall include without limitation, the clean-up and removal of all debris, license and permit fees, all "soft" costs incurred to prepare plans, specifications and construction drawings required for commencement of restoration, all hard costs of restoration, and loss of rental income to the extent such insurance proceeds are available to be used for lost rents.






"Projected Debt Service Coverage" means a number calculated by dividing Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service for the first fiscal year following restoration of the Property by the debt service during the same fiscal year under all indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "debt service" means the greater of (x) debt service due under all such indebtedness during the first fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property and (y) debt service that would be due and payable during such fiscal year if all such indebtedness were amortized over thirty (30) years (whether or not amortization is actually required) and if interest on such indebtedness were due as it accrues at the face rate shown on the notes therefor (whether or not interest payments based on such face rates are required).

"Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service" means projected gross annual rent from the Approved Leases for the first full fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property less:

(A)    The operating expenses of the Property for the last fiscal year preceding the casualty and

(B)    the following:

(i)    the amount, if any, by which actual gross income during such fiscal period exceeds that which would be earned from the rental of 95% occupancy at the Property;

(ii)    the amount, if any, by which the actual management fee is less than 3.25% of gross revenue (as adjusted by Lender in (B)(i) above) during such fiscal period;

(iii)    the amount, if any, by which the actual real estate taxes are less than $948,000.00 per annum; and

(iv)    the amount, if any, by which total operating expenses, excluding management fees, real estate taxes and replacement reserves, are less than $2,857,800.00 per annum.

All projections referenced above shall be calculated in a manner satisfactory to Lender.

ARTICLE VII
CONDEMNATION

7.1    Borrowers hereby assign to Lender (i) any award and any other proceeds resulting from damage to, or the taking of, all or any portion of the Property, and (ii) the proceeds from any sale or transfer in lieu thereof (collectively, "Condemnation Proceeds") in connection with condemnation proceedings or the exercise of any power of eminent domain or the threat thereof (hereinafter, a "Taking"); if the Condemnation Proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and such damage or Taking occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Notes, such Condemnation Proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition, or the functional equivalent of its condition prior to the Taking, subject





to the conditions set forth above in Article VI hereof entitled "Insurance; Application of Insurance Loss Proceeds" and subject to the further condition that restoration or replacement of the Improvements on the Land to their functional and economic utility prior to the Taking be possible. Any portion of such award and proceeds not applied to restoration shall, at Lender's option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or be released to Borrowers, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE VIII
DEPOSITS

8.1    Borrowers agree to pay before delinquency all taxes and special assessments of any kind that have been or may be levied or assessed against the Property, the Lien Instruments, the Notes or the Indebtedness, or upon the interest of Lender in the Property, the Lien Instruments, the Notes or the Indebtedness, and to procure and deliver to Lender within thirty (30) days after Lender shall have given a written request to Borrowers, the official receipt of the proper officer showing timely payment of all such taxes and assessments; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such taxes or special assessments if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow satisfactory to Lender.

8.2    To assure the timely payment of real estate taxes and special assessments (including personal property taxes, if appropriate), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall thence forth have the option to require Borrowers to deposit funds with Lender, in monthly or other periodic installments in amounts estimated by Lender from time to time sufficient to pay real estate taxes and special assessments as they become due. If at any time the funds so held by Lender shall be insufficient to pay any of said expenses, Borrowers shall, upon receipt of notice thereof, immediately deposit such additional funds as may be necessary to remove the deficiency. All funds so deposited shall be irrevocably appropriated to Lender to be applied to the payment of such real estate taxes and special assessments and, at the option of Lender after default, the Indebtedness. Lender may deduct from any amounts so held, any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with holding such amounts and/or paying amounts to taxing authorities or other parties, including, without limitation, any fees, costs or expenses associated with paying amounts via e-check or electronically.

ARTICLE IX
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

9.1    Each Individual Borrower will self-manage its respective Project. If a third-party management company is engaged, such management company for the Property shall be satisfactory to Lender.

ARTICLE X
NOTICE OF DEFAULT

10.1    A default in any payment required in any Note or any other Loan Document, whether or not payable to Lender, (a "Monetary Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Lender shall have given a written notice of such Monetary Default to Borrowers and





Borrowers shall not have cured such Monetary Default by payment of all amounts in default (including payment of interest at the Default Rate from the date of default to the date of cure on amounts owed to Lender) within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender shall have given such notice to Borrowers.

Any other default under the Notes or under any other Loan Document (a "Non‑Monetary Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Lender shall have given a written notice of such Non‑Monetary Default to Borrowers and Borrowers shall not have cured such Non‑Monetary Default within thirty (30) days after the date on which Lender shall have given such notice of default to Borrowers (or, if the Non‑Monetary Default is not curable within such 30‑day period, Borrowers shall not have diligently undertaken and continued to pursue the curing of such Non‑Monetary Default and deposited an amount sufficient to cure such Non‑Monetary Default in an escrow account satisfactory to Lender).

In no event shall the notice and cure period provisions recited above constitute a grace period for the purposes of commencing interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE XI
CROSS DEFAULT

11.1    Except as provided in Section 11.2 hereof and, further, except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Borrowers (whether before or after the date hereof), no default on the loan secured by the Lien Instruments shall constitute a cross default or cross acceleration of any other loan that Borrowers may have with Lender; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obliged to advance funds under any other loan with Lender in which Borrowers or any guarantor named herein is a borrower, a guarantor or a principal officer, principal stockholder, trustee or manager of a borrower or a guarantor.

11.2     A Default under any Note shall constitute a Default under all Notes; a Default under any Lien Instrument shall constitute a Default under all Lien Instruments; a Default under any Absolute Assignment shall constitute a Default under all Absolute Assignments; and a Default under any Loan Document shall constitute a Default under all Loan Documents.

ARTICLE XII

Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law), Lender shall only be obligated to send one (1) notice to all Individual Borrowers, and such notice shall be deemed notice to all Individual Borrowers under the Loan Documents.






ARTICLE XV
FAILURE OF BORROWER TO ACT

15.1    If Borrowers fail to make any payment or do any act as herein provided, Lender may, without obligation to do so, without notice to or demand upon Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereof: (i) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Lender being authorized to enter upon the Property for such purpose; (ii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof, or the rights or powers of Lender; (iii) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of Lender appears to be prior or superior hereto; and (iv) in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay its reasonable fees. Sums so expended and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses required to be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender hereunder shall be payable by Borrowers immediately upon demand with interest from date of expenditure or demand, as the case may be, at the Default Rate.

MISCELLANEOUS

17.1    In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Commitment and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail.

17.2    Time is of the essence in each of the Loan Documents. The remedies of Lender as provided herein or in any other Loan Document or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and neither the failure to exercise any such right or remedy nor any acceptance by Lender of payment of Indebtedness in default shall in any event be construed as a waiver or release of any right or remedy. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document may be modified or terminated orally but only by





agreement or discharge in writing and signed by Borrowers and Lender. If any of the provisions of any Loan Document or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such Loan Document and each of the other Loan Documents, and the application of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of each of the Loan Documents shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17.3    Lender may assign all or any part of the Loan to another lender at no cost to Borrowers. In the event of a proposed assignment of the Loan to another lender, said lender shall have the right to enter the Property upon reasonable prior notice to Borrowers for additional environmental review or testing as said lender may deem necessary, at no cost to Borrowers.
  
17.4    In the event of any controversy, claim, dispute, or litigation between the parties hereto to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any right of Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnity Agreements, the losing party agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred therein by the prevailing party, whether in preparation for or during any trial, as a result of an appeal from a judgment entered in such litigation or otherwise, or in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

17.5    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. With respect to any action, lawsuit or other legal proceeding concerning any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, Borrowers hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Florida and irrevocably waive any defense of improper venue, forum nonconveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction in any such action, lawsuit or other legal proceeding brought in any court located in the State of Florida. Nothing contained herein shall affect the rights of Lender to commence any action, lawsuit or other legal proceeding, or otherwise to proceed, against Borrowers in any other jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge that certain actions taken under each Lien Instrument and each Absolute Assignment shall be governed by the State of the Property encumbered by such Lien Instrument and Absolute Assignment, respectively, and that such actions must be brought within said State.

ARTICLE XVIII

"Affiliate" for the purposes of this Article entitled "Separateness Covenants/Covenants with Respect to Indebtedness, Operations and Fundamental Changes of an Individual Borrower" shall mean any person or entity which directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a specified person or entity.
