NAI-1502709730v5	2	 	

which shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect and reset each Business Day, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (without duplication of amounts owing or payable under Article III), such rate rounded up to the nearest one-sixteenth percent; provided, however, if on any date for determining the one-month LIBOR rate, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that (a) because of circumstances affecting the Money Markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the one-month LIBOR rate, or (b) it is unlawful to maintain any advance of the Loans at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, Administrative Agent shall promptly give to Borrower telephonic notice (confirmed as soon as practicable in writing) of the nature and effect of such circumstances and/or illegality. After receipt of such notice and during the existence of such circumstances and/or illegality, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance shall be determined based upon an alternate index selected by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, reasonably comparable to that of one-month LIBOR, intended to generate a return substantially the same as that generated by the one-month LIBOR rate, and all references in the Loan Documents to the Alternate Base Rate shall be deemed to be references to such alternate rate while such rate is in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate will be less than zero, the Alternate Base Rate will be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.”
(ii)      The definition of the term “Borrowing Base” set forth in Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

provided, however:

(c)	the advance rate for Model Units shall decrease to 0% for any Housing Unit that has been a Model Unit for more than 180 days following the sale of the last production Housing Unit in the applicable project relating to such Model Unit; and

“‘Defaulting Lender’ means, subject to Section 2.22(b), any Lender that (a) has failed to (i) fund all or any portion of its Loans within two (2) Business Days after the date such Loans were required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender's determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied or waived, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers or any other Lender

	
			
NAI-1502709730v5	4

Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (d) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 2.22(b)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower, the LC Issuers and each Lender.”

NAI-1502709730v5	12	 	

removal, the Required Lenders shall designate a Lender to act as the successor Administrative Agent. Additionally, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within fifteen (15) days after the resigning Administrative Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.

In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.”
(j)      Setoff; Ratable Payments . Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“11.1     Setoff; Ratable Payments . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of maturity of the principal indebtedness pursuant to Article VIII, Borrower hereby specifically authorizes each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates in which Borrower maintains a deposit account (whether a general or special deposit account, other than trust accounts) or a certificate of deposit to setoff any Obligations owed to the Lenders against such deposit account or certificate of deposit without prior notice to Borrower (which notice is hereby waived) whether or not such deposit account or certificate of deposit has

	
			
NAI-1502709730v5	13	 	

then matured. Nothing in this Section shall limit or restrict the exercise by a Lender or its Affiliates of any right to setoff or banker's lien under applicable law, subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, whether by setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, has payment made to it upon such Lender’s Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 or, if such Lender is a Non-Extending Lender, as a result of the payment of principal to such Non-Extending Lender in connection with the termination of such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment on the Non-Extending Lender Facility Termination Date) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to participate in and purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for such Lender’s Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Lender purchasing a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure, and any Affiliate of such Lender, may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.1 to the contrary, in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22(a)(ii) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Bank (or such Defaulting Lender’s Affiliate, as the case may be) from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders entitled to such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it or its Affiliate exercised such right of setoff.”
(k)      Cancellation of Swing Line Loan Availability . Borrower shall not request, and Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make, Swing Line Loans. Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement and all other provisions of the Loan Documents relating to Swing Line Loans (but only to the extent that such provisions of the Loan Documents specifically relate to Swing Line Loans) are of no further force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any provision of the Loan Documents relates to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, such provision shall remain in full force and effect with respect to Revolving Loans.
(l)      Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions . The following is hereby inserted into the Credit Agreement as a new Section 9.15:

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Amendment or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.”
