EXHIBIT A
Applied Escrows
Real Estate Taxes: $1,667,234.20
Insurance: $595,068.19
Replenishment of Escrows
The replenishment of the Applied Escrows (together with other “Applied Escrows”, which were applied by Lender on August 10 with respect to loans made by Lender to affiliates of Borrower, the “Total Applied Escrows”) shall take place as follows:
If the project known as Vista Grande (one of the Tampa Palms Projects) is sold before the sale of either of the Abacoa Project or the Cason Estates Project, then an amount equal to $3,155,485.10 (the “Initial Funds”) shall be paid as additional release price for such property to Lender, which amount will be applied by Lender to replenish the tax and insurance escrow portion of the Total Applied Escrows. If either of the Abacoa Project or the Cason Estates Project is sold and the required $10,000,000 additional release price (the “Additional Release Price”) is paid to Lender, then an amount up to $3,155,485.10 thereof shall be used to replenish all of the then unreplenished tax and insurance escrow portion of the Total Applied Escrows. In addition, if the Vista Grande Project is sold first and the Initial Funds are used to replenish some of the Total Applied Escrows as provided above, then the Additional Release Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Initial Funds. In the event that any of the Total Applied Escrows are not replenished in the manner provided above prior to the time that the funds in the applicable escrow account are required to be used to pay the obligations for which the sums were deposited, then the applicable Borrower, on demand, shall be obligated to fund into such escrow account such amount as shall be necessary to permit Lender to make the required payment for which the escrow funds were being deposited.
