NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective as of January 1, 1994, the
Company completed a capital restructuring and quasi-reorganization. The
quasi-reorganization resulted in the adjustment of assets and liabilities to
estimated fair values and the elimination of an accumulated deficit effective
January 1, 1994. The net amount of such revaluation adjustments, together with
the accumulated deficit as of the date thereof, was transferred to paid-in
capital in accordance with the accounting principles applicable to
quasi-reorganizations. The consolidated financial statements do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Company's customary accounting practices. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a presentation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been included. Operating results for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has less than
a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. The
accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those
of the Company.
Net income (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 is based on 52,195,678 of Series A and Series B
common stock outstanding.
NOTE 2 - SALE AND LEASEBACK OF CERTAIN MODEL HOMES
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company completed a bulk
transaction in which 57 model homes were sold and leased back to the Company,
resulting in total revenue to the Company of approximately $9,750,000. The
individual leases expire at various dates through 2001, but may be extended
under certain circumstances.

THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in Item 1, as well as the information presented in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements from internally
generated funds from the sales of real estate and from outside borrowings. The
Company currently maintains the following major credit facilities: 12 1/2%
Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes"), a secured revolving lending facility (the
"Working Capital Facility"), a revolving line of credit relating to Horsethief
Canyon Partners, its wholly-owned joint venture partnership, a revolving line
of credit relating to Carmel Mountain Ranch, its wholly-owned joint venture
partnership (the latter two facilities collectively the "Joint Venture
Facilities"), and a revolving line of credit relating to construction on
certain real property located in Arizona and New Mexico (the "Other Facility"),
which are summarized below.
SENIOR NOTES
The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 for the sale of $200,000,000 of Senior Notes which became
effective on June 23, 1994. The offering closed on June 29, 1994 and was fully
subscribed and issued. The following discussion of the Senior Notes should be
read in conjunction with the Registration Statement as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes") were offered by The
Presley Companies, a Delaware corporation ("Delaware Presley"), and are
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Presley Homes (formerly The
Presley Companies), a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Delaware Presley ("California Presley"). However, California Presley has
granted liens on substantially all of its assets as security for its
obligations under the Working Capital Facility and the Other Facility. Because
the California Presley guarantee is not secured, holders of the Senior Notes
are effectively junior to borrowings under the Working Capital Facility with
respect to such assets. Delaware Presley and its consolidated subsidiaries are
referred to collectively herein as "Presley" or the "Company". Interest on the
Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year.
Except as set forth in the Indenture Agreement (the "Indenture"), the Senior
Notes are not redeemable by Presley prior to July 1, 1998. Thereafter, the
Senior Notes will be redeemable at the option of Delaware Presley, in whole or
in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.

<PAGE> 9
THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
The Senior Notes are senior obligations of Presley and rank pari passu in right
of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of Presley, and
senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of the Company which by
its terms is subordinated to the Senior Notes.
Upon a Change of Control as described in the Indenture, Presley must offer to
repurchase Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
Presley is required to offer to repurchase certain Senior Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of repurchase if Delaware Presley's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is
less than $60,000,000 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, and from the
proceeds of certain asset sales.
The Indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts, among other things: (i) the
payment of dividends on and redemptions of capital stock by Presley, (ii) the
incurrence of indebtedness by Presley or the issuance of preferred stock by
Delaware Presley's subsidiaries, (iii) the creation of certain liens, (iv)
Delaware Presley's ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or to transfer
all or substantially all of its assets to, another person, and (v) transactions
with affiliates. These restrictions are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions.
WORKING CAPITAL FACILITY
The collateral for the loans provided by the Working Capital Facility includes
substantially all real estate and other assets of the Company (excluding assets
of partnerships, certain real estate assets of the Company in Arizona and the
portion of the partnership interests in Carmel Mountain Ranch partnership which
are currently pledged to other lenders). The borrowing base is calculated
based on specified percentages of book values of real estate assets. The
borrowing base at September 30, 1996 was approximately $207,000,000; however,
the maximum loan under the Working Capital Facility is limited to $72,000,000.
The principal outstanding under the Working Capital Facility at September 30,
1996 was $40,000,000.
The Working Capital Facility has a termination date of May 20, 1997, with two
one-year extensions at the Company's option. Upon any extension of the
termination date, the Company would pay an extension fee of 1% of the Working
Capital Facility commitment amount (in addition to the loan fee described
below) for each year extended.
Pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Facility, outstanding advances
bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%. An alternate option provides for
interest based on a specified overseas base rate plus 4.44%, but not less than
the prime rate option in effect at December 31, 1993 (8.00%). In addition, the
Company pays a loan fee of 1% per annum, payable quarterly, on the total
Working Capital Facility commitment amount.

<PAGE> 10
THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
The Working Capital Facility now provides that the Company must maintain a
Tangible Effective Net Worth as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not
less than $70,000,000. The Working Capital Facility also provides that as of
the last day of any fiscal quarter the ratio of the Company's Total Liabilities
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth must not exceed
3.75 to 1 and that the ratio of Adjusted Total Liabilities (the Company's and
its unconsolidated partnerships' Total Liabilities and Letters of Credit)
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth must not exceed
4.0 to 1. At September 30, 1996 the Company's Tangible Effective Net Worth was
approximately $78,188,000, the ratio of the Company's Total Liabilities
(excluding non-recourse debt) to Tangible Effective Net Worth was 3.37 to 1,
and the ratio of Adjusted Total Liabilities (excluding non-recourse debt) to
Tangible Effective Net Worth was 3.38 to 1.
The Working Capital Facility requires certain minimum cash flow and pre-tax and
pre-interest tests. The Working Capital Facility also provides for negative
covenants which, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash
dividends, merger transactions, transactions with affiliates, the incurrence of
additional debt and the acquisition of new land as described in the following
paragraph.
Under the terms of the Working Capital Facility, the Company may acquire new
improved land for development of housing units of no more than 300 lots in any
one location without approval from the lenders if certain conditions are
satisfied. The Company may, however, acquire any new raw land or improved land
provided the Company has obtained the prior written approval of lenders holding
two-thirds of the obligations under the Working Capital Facility.
JOINT VENTURE FACILITIES
Horsethief Canyon Partners ("HCP"), the partnership that owns the Horsethief
Canyon master-planned community, is a California general partnership and is
100% owned by The Presley Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Prior to
October 4, 1996, the construction of the project was being financed through
intract loans to prepare finished lots for the construction of homes and
construction loans to finance the construction of homes. At September 30, 1996
a total of $2,109,000 was outstanding under the intract and construction loans
of HCP. The interest rate on the intract and construction loans was prime plus
1.50%.
Effective on October 4, 1996, HCP executed a master credit agreement with a
maximum loan commitment of $10,000,000 to finance the development of lots for
residential homes and the construction of singe-family attached and detached
production homes. Interest on the outstanding balance is at prime plus 1.00%
and the loan matures on March 17, 1998. Availability under the line is subject
to a number of limitations. The outstanding balance under this facility,
together with the outstanding balances under the CMR facility and Other
facility described below, may not exceed $29,000,000.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Carmel Mountain Ranch ("CMR"), the partnership that owns the Carmel Mountain
Ranch master-planned community, is also a California general partnership and is
100% owned by The Presley Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective
as of March 1995, the development and construction of the project is financed
through a revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit consists of
several components relating to production units, models and residential lots.
At September 30, 1996, the revolving line of credit had an outstanding balance
of $688,000. Availability under the line is subject to a number of limitations.
The outstanding balance under this facility, together with the outstanding
balance under the HCP facility described above and the outstanding balance under
the Other facility described below, may not exceed $29,000,000. Interest on the
outstanding balance is at prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures on March 17,
1998.
OTHER FACILITY
Effective in October 1995, the Company executed a master credit agreement with
a maximum loan commitment of $5,000,000 to finance the development of lots for
residential homes and the construction of single-family attached and detached
production homes on certain real property located in Arizona and New Mexico.
Interest on the outstanding balance is at prime plus 1.00% and the loan matures
on November 30, 1998. The outstanding balance under this facility, together
with the outstanding balance under the HCP facility and the CMR facility
described in the preceding paragraphs, may not exceed $29,000,000. As of
September 30, 1996 the outstanding balance under this agreement was $4,168,000.
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT BONDS AND SELLER FINANCING
In some locations in which the Company develops its projects, assessment
district bonds are issued by municipalities to finance major infrastructure
improvements and fees. Such financing has been an important part of financing
master-planned communities due to the long-term nature of the financing,
favorable interest rates when compared to the Company's other sources of funds
and the fact that the bonds are sold, administered and collected by the
relevant government entity. As a landowner benefited by the improvements, the
Company is responsible for the assessments on its land. When Presley's homes
or other properties are sold, the assessments are either prepaid or the buyers
assume the responsibility for the related assessments.
Another potential source of financing available to the Company is
seller-provided financing for land acquired by the Company. Although the
Company has not used this form of financing significantly in the past few
years, it is possible that such financing may be available and utilized to a
greater extent in the future.

Homes sold, closed and in backlog as of and for the periods presented are as

Backlog of homes sold but not closed at end of period 488 332 488 332
</TABLE>
The increase in net new home orders and backlog in the first nine months of
1996, as compared with the first nine months of 1995, is the result of the
Company's return to the Arizona market from which it had been absent for
approximately three years, the result of the Company's entry into the Nevada
market, and the result of increases in the Company's Southern California,
Northern California and New Mexico markets. The increase in closings in the
first nine months of 1996, as compared with the first nine months of 1995, is
the result of the Company's return to the Arizona market, the result of the
Company's entry into the Nevada market, the result of increases in the
Company's New Mexico markets, and the sale of 57 model homes described below,
offset by decreases in the Company's Northern California markets.
Closings of homes in backlog generally occur within six months of the date
indicated. The dollar amount of backlog of homes sold but not closed as of
September 30, 1996 was $91,513,000, as compared to $55,280,000 as of September
30, 1995 and $93,791,000 as of June 30, 1996. The cancellation rate of buyers
who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow at the Company's projects
was approximately 22% during 1995 and approximately 20% during the first nine
months of 1996.
The number of homes closed in the third quarter of 1996 was up 31 percent to
467 from 356 in the third quarter of 1995. Net new home orders for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 increased 21 percent to 429 units from 355 a year ago.
For the third quarter of 1996, net new orders decreased 10 percent to 429 from
478 units in the second quarter of 1996. The backlog of homes sold as of
September 30, 1996 was 488, up 47 percent from 332 units a year earlier, and
down 7 percent from 526 units at June 30, 1996. The Company's inventory of
completed and unsold homes as of September 30, 1996 increased to 83 units from
61 units as of June 30, 1996.

<PAGE> 13
THE PRESLEY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Net new home orders and closings for the first quarter of 1996 include 57 model
homes which were sold and leased back to the Company in a bulk transaction
resulting in total revenue to the Company of approximately $9,750,000.
In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest and
housing costs. Interest rates, the length of time that assets remain in
inventory, and the proportion of inventory that is financed affect the
Company's interest cost. If the Company is unable to raise sales prices
sufficiently to compensate for higher costs, which has generally been the case
recently, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting
prospective buyers' ability to adequately finance home purchases, the Company's
sales, gross margins and net results may be adversely impacted. To a limited
extent, the Company hedges against certain increases in interest costs by
acquiring interest rate protection that locks in or caps interest rates for
limited periods of time for mortgage financing for prospective homebuyers.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Sales (which represent recorded revenues from closings) for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 were $79.5 million, an increase of $13.8 million (21%)
from sales of $65.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Revenue from sales of homes increased $21.0 million to $79.5 million in the
1996 period from $58.5 million in the 1995 period. This increase was due
primarily to an increase in the number of homes closed to 467 in the 1996
period from 356 in the 1995 period and an increase in the average sales prices
of homes to $170,000 in the 1996 period from $164,000 in the 1995 period.
Revenue from lots, land and other decreased $7.2 million to none in the 1996
period from $7.2 million in the 1995 period.
Total operating income (loss) increased from a loss of $2.6 million in the
1995 period to income of $0.3 million in the 1996 period. The excess of
revenue from sales of homes over cost of sales - homes increased by $3.5
million, to $9.6 million in the 1996 period from $6.1 million in the 1995
period. These increases were primarily due to increased sales prices and an
increase in the number of homes closed as described above and decreases in
buyer incentives. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.4 million to
$5.6 million in the 1996 period from $5.2 million in the 1995 period primarily
as a result of increased advertising and direct closings costs (directly
related to increased revenue from closings) in the 1996 period compared to the
1995 period. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million to
$3.5 million in the 1996 period from $3.1 million in the 1995 period, primarily
as a result of increased overhead from start-up operations in Arizona and
Nevada.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Total interest incurred during the 1996 period decreased $0.5 million (6.0%)
from the 1995 period as a result of a reduction in debt levels and decreased
interest rates. Net interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in the 1996
period from $0.6 million for the 1995 period. This decrease was due primarily
to an increase in development activities in the 1996 period compared to the 1995
period (resulting in increased interest capitalization) and by decreases in
interest rates.
Other (income) expense, net increased $0.3 million to a net income of $0.8
million in the 1996 period from a net income of $0.5 million in the 1995 period
primarily as a result of (i) decreased income from recreational facilities
offset by (ii) increased income from mortgage operations.
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Sales (which represent recorded revenues from closings) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were $222.8 million, an increase of $29.0 million
(15%) from sales of $193.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. Revenue from sales of homes increased $56.3 million to $221.6 million in
the 1996 period (which included $9.7 million from the sale of model homes as
described above) from $165.3 million in the 1995 period. This increase was due
primarily to an increase in the number of homes closed to 1,326 in the 1996
period (which included 57 model units as described above) from 1,020 in the
1995 period and an increase in the average sales prices of homes to $167,000 in
the 1996 period from $162,000 in the 1995 period. Revenue from lots, land and
other decreased $27.2 million to $1.3 million in the 1996 period from $28.5
million in the 1995 period.
Total operating loss decreased from a loss of $20.8 million in the 1995 period
to a loss of $1.3 million in the 1996 period. The excess of revenue from sales
of homes over cost of sales - homes increased by $12.0 million, to $25.8
million in the 1996 period from $13.8 million in the 1995 period. These
increases were primarily due to increased sales prices and an increase in the
number of homes closed as described above and decreases in buyer incentives.
Reductions of real estate assets to estimated net realizable value amounting to
$9.4 million were recorded in the 1995 period, with no corresponding charge in
the comparable period for 1996. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.3
million to $16.3 million in the 1996 period from $15.0 million in the 1995
period primarily as a result of increased closing costs (directly related to
revenue from increased closings) in the 1996 period compared to the 1995
period. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million to $10.6
million in the 1996 period from $9.6 million in the 1995 period, primarily as a
result of increased overhead from start-up operations in Arizona and Nevada.
Total interest incurred during the 1996 period decreased $2.2 million (8.4%)
from the 1995 period as a result of a reduction in debt levels and decreased
interest rates. Net interest expense decreased to $1.7 million in the 1996
period from $2.1 million for the 1995 period. This decrease was due primarily
to an increase in development activities in the 1996 period compared to the
1995 period (resulting in increased interest capitalization) and by decreases
in interest rates.

(CONTINUED)
Other (income) expense, net increased $0.3 million to a net income of $1.7
million in the 1996 period from a net income of $1.4 million in the 1995 period
primarily as a result of (i) increased income from recreational facilities and
(ii) increased income from mortgage operations.
CASH FLOWS - COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net cash used in operating activities increased from $4.1 million in the 1995
period to $13.1 million in the 1996 period. The change was primarily a result
of increased land acquisition and construction activity.
Net cash used in investment activities decreased from $2.7 million in the 1995
period to $0.4 million in the 1996 period. The change was primarily due to a
decrease in the notes receivable.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $12.5 million in the
1996 period from net cash used of $5.3 million in the 1995 period. The change
was primarily due to an increase in net borrowings activity.

2.2.1 INTRACT DEVELOPMENT ADVANCES.
(a) Intract Development Advances under a Project Loan shall be
used for the purpose of paying for or reimbursing Borrower for Intract
Development Costs incurred by Borrower and relating to such Project. The total
of all outstanding Intract Development Advances with respect to a particular
Development shall not exceed the Intract Development Sub-Commitment. Intract
Development Advances are further limited by the provisions of Section 2.5.3.
Intract Development Advances under a particular Project Loan that are repaid
cannot be reborrowed under such Project Loan. If, at any time, the total
outstanding principal balance of all Intract Development Advances with respect
to a particular Development exceeds the applicable Intract Development
Sub-Commitment, Borrower shall immediately repay to Bank the amount of such
excess outstanding; and if, at any time, the total outstanding principal balance
of a particular Project Loan exceeds the applicable Intract Development Project
Loan Amount, Borrower shall immediately repay to Bank the amount of such excess
outstanding.
(b) With respect to each Project Loan, commencing on the
Intract Development First Mandatory Prepayment Date and continuing on the
corresponding date in each third Calendar Month thereafter until the Intract
Development Advances under such Project Loan are repaid in full and there exists
no more available Intract Development Advances thereunder that might be drawn
upon, Borrower shall pay to Bank with respect to such Project Loan an
installment amount, without duplication, equal to (i) the Intract Development
Mandatory Prepayment Amount for such Loan as of such date, minus (ii) the
aggregate of (A) all Lot Transfer Price payments made to Bank by Borrower for
Lots in the relevant Project as of such date, (B) all payments actually made by
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph as of such date, and (C) all voluntary
prepayments of principal on such Project Loan made by Borrower. All payments of
Intract Development Mandatory Prepayment Amount under a Project Loan shall be
applied to the outstanding principal amount of such Project Loan.
(c) Payments of Intract Development Mandatory Prepayment
Amount for a Project Loan shall be considered payment of Lot Transfer Price with
respect to such Project Loan; and to the extent that the aggregate of the
Intract Development Mandatory Prepayment Amounts paid by Borrower with respect
to such Project Loan exceeds the aggregate amount theretofore paid as Lot
Transfer Price for Lots previously transferred to Unit Advances under such
Project Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to a credit for such excess in
calculating the amount payable as the Lot Transfer Price for Lots subsequently
identified by Borrower for transfer thereto.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, all
outstanding Intract Development Advances under each Project Loan
19
<PAGE> 26
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Termination Date or the Intract
Development Advance Repayment Date for such Project Loan. The Intract
Development Advance Repayment Date for a Project Loan may be extended by
Borrower for two (2) six-month periods (but not beyond the Termination Date),
provided that Borrower satisfies each of the following conditions prior to each
six-month period (the original Intract Development Advance Repayment Date for
such Project Loan and the date that is the six (6) month anniversary thereof
each being referred to herein as an "INTRACT EXTENSION DATE"):
2.2.1.1 Borrower pays to Bank prior to the upcoming
Intract Extension Date, an extension fee equal to five- eighths of one percent
(.625%) of the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal balance of such Project
Loan and (ii) the undisbursed Intract Development Project Loan Amount for such
Project Loan.
2.2.1.2 Borrower is not in default under any of the
Loan Documents, and no Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
2.2.1.3 No Material Adverse Change has occurred with
respect to Borrower since August 1, 1996.
If Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.2.1 by reason of an Unmatured Event of Default, Borrower shall have a
period of up to 30 days (but not to exceed the applicable cure period set forth
in Section 7.1) after the applicable Intract Extension Date to cure such
Unmatured Event of Default. If Borrower timely effects such cure and has
satisfied the other conditions of this Section 2.2.1, Borrower will be deemed to
have extended the applicable Intract Development Advance Repayment Date; and
such extension shall be measured from the applicable Intract Extension Date.
2.2.2 UNIT ADVANCES. Unit Advances shall consist of Model Unit
Advances and Production Unit Advances and shall be made with respect to Eligible
Collateral from time to time prior to the expiration of the applicable Unit
Term. All Unit Advances shall be on a revolving basis and may be repaid and
reborrowed subject to the terms and conditions herein. All Unit Advances are
subject to the limitations set forth below and are further limited by the
provisions of Section 2.5.3. All outstanding Unit Advances shall be due and
payable on the Termination Date; provided, however, that with respect to each
Extended Term Unit (as defined below), all outstanding Unit Advances with
respect to such Unit shall be due and payable on the last day of the Unit Term
of such Unit that is running on the Termination Date. As used in this Section
2.2.2, the term "EXTENDED UNIT TERM" shall mean a Unit in Eligible Collateral on
the Termination Date whose then-existing Unit Term will expire after the
Termination Date.
20
<PAGE> 27
2.2.2.1 MODEL UNIT ADVANCES. Proceeds of a Model Unit
Advance shall be used for the purpose of paying the applicable Lot Transfer
Price and for paying for or reimbursing Borrower for certain costs and expenses
incurred by Borrower to complete Model Units that are included within Eligible
Collateral. The total of all Model Unit Advances outstanding with respect to a
particular Development shall not exceed the applicable Model Unit
Sub-Commitment. If at any time the total outstanding principal balance of all
Model Unit Advances with respect to a particular Development exceeds the
applicable Model Unit Sub-Commitment, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the
amount of such excess outstanding.
2.2.2.2 PRODUCTION UNIT ADVANCES. Proceeds of a
Production Unit Advance shall be used for the purpose of paying the applicable
Lot Transfer Price and for paying for or reimbursing Borrower for certain costs
and expenses incurred by Borrower to complete Presold Units and Spec Units that
are included within Eligible Collateral. The total of all Production Unit
Advances outstanding with respect to a particular Development shall not exceed
the applicable Production Unit Sub- Commitment. If at any time the total
outstanding principal balance of all Production Unit Advances with respect to a
particular Development exceeds the applicable Production Unit Sub-Commitment,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the amount of such excess outstanding.
2.2.3 TRANSFER OF LOTS TO ELIGIBLE COLLATERAL.
2.2.3.1 When a Lot has been completed to Finished Lot
Status pursuant to Section 3.4.7 and all other conditions precedent set forth in
this Agreement for inclusion of such Lot in Eligible Collateral have been
satisfied, Borrower shall be entitled to request that such Lot become Eligible
Collateral and be transferred, on the terms set forth in this Section 2.2.3,
from Intract Development Advances to Unit Advances.
2.2.3.2 Without limiting the application of any other
provision of this Agreement, upon the transfer of a Lot from Intract Development
Advances to Unit Advances, (i) the Lot Transfer Price for such Lot shall be paid
by Borrower from its own funds or (to the extent permitted by the applicable
Unit Budget) as a draw of Unit Advances and shall, in either case, be applied to
pay down the Intract Development Advances under the applicable Project Loan (or,
to the extent the Lot Transfer Price exceeds the Intract Development Advances
under the applicable Project Loan, any other outstanding Advances made under
this Agreement); (ii) Borrower shall be entitled to Unit Advances for the
Initial Soft Costs with respect to such Lot pursuant to the terms of Section
2.5.3.2; and (iii) an amount shall be calculated as the Deferred Lot Release
Price to remain as part of the Intract Development Advances under the applicable
Project Loan
21
<PAGE> 28
but to be retired upon the sale of the Unit constructed on such Lot pursuant to
Section 2.5.7.1.
2.2.3.3 As used herein, and subject to being
increased under Section 2.2.3.4, the "LOT TRANSFER PRICE" for each Lot shall be
equal to the following percentage of the Lot Allocation for such Lot:
(i) For each Lot associated with a Presold Unit, one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Lot Allocation for such Lot;
(ii) For each Lot associated with a Spec Unit, one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Lot Allocation for such Lot; and
(iii) For each Lot associated with a Model Unit, one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Lot Allocation for such Lot.
2.2.3.4 As used herein the "DEFERRED LOT RELEASE
PRICE" for a Lot shall be equal to (i) 125% of the Lot Allocation for such Lot,
minus (ii) the Lot Transfer Price for such Lot. The Deferred Lot Release Price
for a Lot shall continue as an Intract Development Advance notwithstanding that
such Lot has become Eligible Collateral. However, the total of (x) the Deferred
Lot Release Price for a Lot and (y) the Unit Maximum Allowed Advance for the
Unit to which such Lot relates cannot exceed (z) 80% of the Unit Base Appraised
Value for such Unit. If the total of (x) and (y) exceeds (z), then the Deferred
Lot Release Price shall be reduced by such excess; and such excess shall
increase the Lot Transfer Price to be paid by Borrower when such Lot becomes
Eligible Collateral (from Borrower's own funds or from Unit Advances hereunder
to the extent that Borrower has satisfied all conditions to such Unit Advances).
2.2.3.5 So long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Bank agrees to include a Lot within Eligible Collateral
provided each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied: (i) Borrower
shall have paid to Bank or obtained a disbursement from Bank in an amount equal
to the Lot Transfer Price, (ii) Borrower satisfies the conditions to any Unit
Advance to be made to reduce the Intract Development Advance contemplated in
clause (i) of this sentence, (iii) Borrower shall have satisfied all of the
other conditions precedent for the inclusion of such Lot in Eligible Collateral,
and (iv) such Lot is transferred to Eligible Collateral prior to the Eligible
Collateral Cut-off Date.
2.2.4 OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL. The obligation of
Borrower to repay Advances shall be evidenced by the Note. Although the
outstanding principal of the Note may be zero from time to time, the Loan
Documents shall remain in full force and
22
<PAGE> 29
effect until the Commitment terminates and all Obligations are paid and
performed in full. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default or an Unmatured Event of Default, Bank, in its sole and absolute
discretion and without notice, may suspend the commitment to make Advances. In
addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion and without notice, may terminate the
commitment to make Advances.
2.3 INTEREST RATE.
2.3.1 PAYMENT. Interest at the Interest Rate shall accrue on
the outstanding and unpaid balance of the Note commencing on the date of the
initial Advance until repaid, and shall be due and payable on the first day of
each Calendar Month thereafter (in arrears) until repayment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Note in full, together with all other sums owed to Bank
pursuant to any Loan Document.
2.3.2 RATE AFTER DEFAULT. Upon and during the continuance of
an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, at the option
of Bank, the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall bear interest,
payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. The
application of the Default Interest Rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to
extend any cure period set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to limit any of
Bank's remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
2.3.3 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest shall be calculated on
a 360-day year for all Advances, but, in any case, shall be computed for the
actual number of days in the period for which interest is charged, which period
shall consist of 365 days on an annual basis. If any payment of interest under
the Note would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the
payment instead shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing the interest due in respect of
such payment.
2.3.4 NO DEDUCTIONS. All payments of principal or interest
under the Note shall be made without deduction of any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed on Borrower
(excluding withholdings imposed on Borrower with respect to taxation of the net
or gross income of Bank and taxes imposed on Bank by the state in which it has
its principal office), which amounts shall be paid by Borrower. Subject to the
exclusion in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall pay the amounts necessary
such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Bank is not
less than that required by the Note. Borrower shall not make any deductions
permitted by the foregoing without prior written notice to Bank.
23
<PAGE> 30
2.3.5 ORDER OF APPLICATION. Any payments received by Bank will
be applied in the following order: (a) Late charges; (b) payments for taxes and
insurance and other expenses (to the extent Bank elects to pay such expenses in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement); (c) interest; (d) overdue
principal; and (3) principal designated for repayment by Borrower. If Borrower
fails to designate the principal to be reduced, Bank may elect to apply the
amount repaid to any outstanding principal.
2.3.6 INTEREST.
2.3.6.1 Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to disburse
the proceeds of the Note to pay interest accrued on the Note, notwithstanding
that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amount, if Borrower
does not pay such interest with its own funds within five (5) days after
Borrower's receipt of a notice from Bank that such payment is due. Any notice
delivered by Bank pursuant to Section 7.1.1 shall automatically be considered to
also be a notice delivered by Bank pursuant to this Section 2.3.6.1. Moreover,
if Borrower has not paid any monthly installment of interest on the date due and
if Bank has not delivered a notice to Borrower with respect to such installment
under this Section 2.3.6.1 or Section 7.1.1, Borrower must notify Bank on or
before the tenth (10th) day after the date on which such installment was due.
Borrower's failure to give such notice shall not be a default, but Bank shall be
permitted to disburse proceeds of the Note to pay such installment following
Borrower's failure to so notify Bank or, if Bank receives such a notice from
Borrower, three (3) business days after Bank provides notice of the amount due
if Borrower has not theretofore made such payment.
2.3.6.2 The authorization granted pursuant to Section
2.3.6.1 above shall be irrevocable and at Bank's discretion, and no further
direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Bank to make
such disbursements. Bank in its sole and absolute discretion may make such
disbursements notwithstanding the fact that an Event of Default or an Unmatured
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such disbursements shall be
added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. No such disbursement
shall be construed as a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default. So long as there has not occurred an Event of Default or an
Unmatured Event of Default, Borrower may instruct Bank to apply a portion of any
available Advance toward the payment of accrued interest applicable to the Note
to the extent that such interest payments shall not cause the principal balance
of the Note to exceed the Commitment Amount or cause any of the limits set forth
in Section 2.5.3 to be exceeded.
2.4 PAYMENTS. All amounts payable by Borrower on or with respect to the
Note or pursuant to the terms of any other Loan Document shall be paid in lawful
money of the United States of
24
<PAGE> 31
America at 241 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, in same day funds,
not later than 2:00 p.m. (Arizona time) on the date due.
2.5 ADVANCES.
2.5.1 METHOD FOR ADVANCES. Advances may be made by Bank at the
written request by the Person or Persons designated by Borrower from time to
time on Bank's form of signature authorization; provided, however, that Bank
shall have acknowledged receipt of any changes in the Person or Persons
designated by Borrower, and such Person or Persons shall have executed a new
signature authorization form. Such Person or Persons are hereby authorized by
Borrower to request Advances not more frequently than two (2) times per month,
in any case upon not less than four (4) Business Days prior written notice to
Bank, in amounts of not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per
request, and to direct the disposition of the proceeds of Advances until written
notice of the revocation of such authority is received from Borrower by Bank and
Bank has had a reasonable time to act upon such notice. Bank shall have no duty
to monitor for Borrower or to report to Borrower the use of proceeds of
Advances. Any request for Advances may cover all or any Eligible Collateral for
a Project Loan for which a Commitment is then outstanding.
2.5.2 USE OF ADVANCES. Advances shall be used only to pay or
reimburse Borrower for costs, expenses and fees actually incurred by Borrower,
and included in the respective Budget, and in connection with the reimbursement
of land acquisition costs and the construction of the Intract Development
Improvements or Units constituting Eligible Collateral; provided, however, in no
event shall the Advances with respect to any Unit and its related Lot exceed the
Unit Collateral Value thereof (as applicable). Costs relating to the
construction of Improvements shall be deemed to have been "incurred" by Borrower
at the following times: (i) Hard Costs: when the labor has been performed or the
materials have been supplied and incorporated into the applicable Improvements,
and such contractor or supplier is entitled thereto; and (ii) Soft Costs: when
such costs are due and payable and the services relating thereto have been
rendered or the value thereof has been received by Borrower. Bank shall have no
obligation to make disbursements for Stored Materials that will not be stored on
the Premises.
2.5.3 DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF ADVANCES.
2.5.3.1 The Unit Collateral Value of Units in
Eligible Collateral and the amount of each Advance shall be determined by Bank
based upon the following: (i) Bank's inspections made pursuant to Section 5.11
and 5.15 (as such inspections may result in any adjustments to reflect any
variance between (A) the Collateral Certificate and (B) the results of
25
<PAGE> 32
such inspections), (ii) for Unit Advances, the Collateral Certificate most
recently submitted by Borrower (adjusted to reflect Units sold), and (iii) such
other information as Bank may reasonably require in order to verify such
amounts.
2.5.3.2 At such time as a Lot first becomes Eligible
Collateral, Borrower shall be entitled to receive Unit Advances with respect to
such Lot equal to all amounts actually incurred by Borrower with respect to
Initial Soft Costs as supported by proof of payment satisfactory to Bank.
2.5.3.3 Bank shall not be required to make any
Advance under this Agreement, if the making of such Advance would cause:
(i) The sum of all Intract Development Advances then
outstanding to exceed the Intract Development Commitment; or
(ii) The sum of all Unit Advances then outstanding to
exceed the Commitment Amount; or
(iii) The sum of all Model Unit Advances then out-
standing to exceed the Model Unit Commitment; or
(iv) The sum of all Intract Development Advances then
outstanding with respect to a particular Development to exceed
the applicable Intract Development Sub-Commitment; or
(v) The sum of all Production Unit Advances then
outstanding with respect to a particular Development to exceed
the applicable Production Unit Sub-Commitment; or
(vi) The sum of all Model Unit Advances then
outstanding with respect to a particular Development to exceed
the applicable Model Unit Sub-Commitment; or
(vii) The sum of all Advances then outstanding to
exceed the Commitment Amount; or
(viii) The sum of all Advances then outstanding, plus
the sum of all Advances (as such term is defined in the CMR
Credit Agreement) then outstanding under the CMR Credit
Agreement, plus the sum of all Advances (as such term is
defined in the Eagle Mountain Credit Agreement) then
outstanding under the Eagle Mountain Credit Agreement to
exceed Twenty-Nine Million Dollars ($29,000,000).
2.5.4 UNIT TERM PERIOD. Each Unit and its related Lot shall
constitute Eligible Collateral only during the
26
<PAGE> 33
applicable Unit Term for such Unit set forth below; provided, however, that in
no event shall any Unit Term extend beyond the date that is nine (9) months
after the Termination Date. With respect to any Unit and its related Lot which
becomes Eligible Collateral, the Unit Term shall begin on the date such Unit and
its related Lot first became Eligible Collateral; provided, however, that in no
event shall Units and their related Lots be added to Eligible Collateral after
the Eligible Collateral Cut-off Date.
2.5.4.1 PRESOLD UNITS. A Presold Unit may constitute
Eligible Collateral for not more than nine (9) Calendar Months after the date on
which the Unit and its related Lot first became Eligible Collateral; provided,
however, that such nine (9) month period may be extended for one additional
three (3) month period (but not beyond the date that is three (3) months after
the Termination Date) upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) Borrower pays to Bank prior to the expiration of
the existing term for such Presold Unit an extension fee equal
to one-quarter of one percent (.25%) of the current Unit
Maximum Allowed Advance for such Presold Unit.
(ii) Borrower is not in default under any of the Loan
Documents, and no Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.
(iii) No Material Adverse Change has occurred with
respect to Borrower since August 1, 1996.
If Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.5.4.1 by reason of an Unmatured Event of Default, Borrower shall have
a period of up to 30 days (but not to exceed the applicable cure period set
forth in Section 7.1) after the end of the existing Unit Term to cure such
Unmatured Event of Default. If Borrower timely effects such cure and has
satisfied the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.5.4.1, Borrower shall
be deemed to have extended the term for which the applicable Presold Unit may
constitute Eligible Collateral.
2.5.4.2 SPEC UNITS. A Spec Unit may constitute
Eligible Collateral for not more than twelve (12) Calendar Months after the date
on which the Unit and its related Lot first became Eligible Collateral.
2.5.4.3 MODEL UNITS. A Model Unit may constitute
Eligible Collateral for not more than twelve (12) Calendar Months after the date
on which such Model Unit first became Eligible Collateral; provided, however,
that such twelve (12) month period may be extended for one additional twelve
(12) month period (but not beyond the date that is nine (9) months
27
<PAGE> 34
after the Termination Date), provided Borrower satisfies the following
conditions (each such date on which the existing term for a Model Unit is to
expire being herein referred to as a "MODEL EXTENSION DATE"):
(i) Borrower pays to Bank prior to the expiration of
the existing term for such Model Unit an extension fee equal
to one percent (1%) of the current Unit Maximum Allowed
Advance for such Model Unit for such twelve (12) month
extension, and one-half of one percent (.5%) of the current
Unit Maximum Allowed Advance for such Model Unit for such six
(6) month extension.
(ii) Borrower is not in default under any of the Loan
Documents, and no Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.
(iii) No Material Adverse Change has occurred with
respect to Borrower since August 1, 1996.
If Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.5.4.3 by reason of an Unmatured Event of Default, Borrower shall have
a period of up to 30 days (but not to exceed the applicable cure period set
forth in Section 7.1) after the applicable Model Extension Date to cure such
Unmatured Event of Default. If Borrower timely effects such cure and has
satisfied the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.5.4.3, Borrower shall
be deemed to have extended the term for which the applicable Model Unit may
constitute Eligible Collateral. Such extension shall be measured from the
applicable Model Extension Date.
2.5.5 LIMITATION ON NUMBER OF UNITS. Borrower shall not be
entitled to include in Eligible Collateral for any Development, Units and their
related Lots which fail to comply with the following:
2.5.5.1 LIMIT ON SPEC UNITS. As to Spec Units which
are included in Eligible Collateral for a Development, at any given time, the
number of Spec Units which constitute Eligible Collateral in such Development
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 20 or (ii) four (4) months of absorption for
such Development at the Absorption Rate therefor. Commencing on the nine (9)
month anniversary of the first inclusion of Units in Eligible Collateral for a
Development, for purposes of this provision the Absorption Rate therefor, in
Bank's sole and absolute discretion, may be deemed to be the Actual Absorption
Rate for such Development over the immediately preceding six (6) month period.
2.5.5.2 LIMIT ON MODEL UNITS. As to Model Units which
are included in Eligible Collateral for a Development at
28
<PAGE> 35
any given time, no more than four (4) Model Units in such Development can
constitute Eligible Collateral.
2.5.5.3 LIMIT ON COMBINED SPEC AND PRESOLD UNITS. As
to the combined Spec Units and Presold Units which are included in Eligible
Collateral for a Development at any given time, the combined number of Spec
Units and Presold Units which constitute Eligible Collateral in such Development
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) forty (40) or (ii) twelve (12) months of
absorption for such Development at the Absorption Rate therefor. Commencing on
the nine month anniversary of the first inclusion of Units in Eligible
Collateral for a Development, for purposes of this provision the Absorption Rate
therefor, at Bank's sole and absolute discretion, may be deemed to be the Actual
Absorption Rate for such Development over the immediately preceding six (6)
month period.
2.5.5.4 CORRECTION OF VIOLATIONS. In the event that
Borrower is in violation of the limitations set forth in this Section 2.5.5,
upon notice thereof from Bank, Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days
after such notice select and remove the affected types of Units from Eligible
Collateral until such limitations are no longer violated.
2.5.6 CLASSIFICATION AND RECLASSIFICATION OF UNITS. Borrower
may classify or reclassify Units as to type from time to time, or change
Borrower's proposed classification of any and all Units, provided that each such
reclassified Unit meets the requirements set forth herein for that type of Unit.
In the event any Presold Unit ceases to constitute a Presold Unit for any
reason, then any such Presold Unit shall automatically become a Spec Unit; and
Borrower agrees to immediately comply with all conditions, restrictions and
limitations applicable to a Spec Unit, except that the Unit Term shall be
calculated from when such Unit first became Eligible Collateral. In the event
any Spec Unit becomes a Presold Unit, Borrower agrees to immediately comply with
all conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to a Presold Unit,
except that the Unit Term shall remain the same as if the conversion had not
occurred.
2.5.7 RELEASE OF UNITS AT REQUEST OF BORROWER.
2.5.7.1 RELEASE OF ELIGIBLE COLLATERAL.
(a) So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may request releases of Units
and their related Lots that constitute Eligible Collateral from the lien and
encumbrance of the Deed of Trust from time to time; provided, however, Bank

upon Bank's receipt of a written request from Borrower and upon satisfaction of
the requirements of Section 2.5.7.3, if applicable. Upon the occurrence and

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower may obtain the
release of any Lot which is subject to the lien of the Deed of Trust for the
purpose of obtaining financing from another Lender only (i) if Borrower delivers
to Bank written evidence that Borrower and such lender have entered into a
credit agreement under which such lender is committed to provide intract
development financing to bring such Lot to Finished Lot Status and (ii) the
applicable requirements of Section 2.5.7.1 or Section 2.5.7.2 have been
satisfied.
2.5.7.4 RELEASE OF COMMON AREA. So long as no Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

the failure to complete the sidewalks and final road improvements with respect
to such Lot within six (6) months after the earlier of the date the Unit related
to such Lot is completed or the date such Unit is required to be completed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. As used in the foregoing, road
improvements will be deemed complete upon the final asphalt coating being
applied to roadways following the completion of construction activities in the
area.
If any Unit is materially damaged or destroyed such that it no longer
constitutes Eligible Collateral, upon Borrower's request Bank shall consent to
the disbursement directly to Borrower of
31
<PAGE> 38
insurance proceeds relating to such damage or destruction. Thereafter, provided
the Unit is restored by Borrower to the condition that existed immediately prior
to such damage or destruction, Borrower may return the Unit to the Eligible
Collateral (in which event the expiration date for the Unit Term for such Unit
under Section 2.5.4 shall be the same as if such Unit had not been removed from
Eligible Collateral by reason of the damage or destruction). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Units may not be returned to Eligible Collateral after the Eligible

2.6.7 ADVANCES OF FEES AND EXPENSES. Bank may at any time make
Advances to itself to cover the fees and expenses described in this Section 2.6.
All fees shall be deemed fully earned by Bank on the date paid or payable; and
such fees shall not be reimbursable or otherwise reduced following a reduction
in any commitment subsequent to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
provided no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Bank agrees not to disburse proceeds of an Advance to pay
third-party expenses for thirty (30) days following Borrower's receipt of an
invoice for such expenses, or within sixty (60) days after such receipt in any
instance where Borrower has notified Bank that a good faith dispute exists
concerning such invoice.

Specifications. Borrower understands and agrees that inspection of the
Improvements by or on behalf of Bank, the review by Bank of Draw Requests and
related documents and information, the making of Advances by Bank, any actions
by Bank under Section 5.11 and any other actions by Bank shall not be a waiver
of Bank's right to require compliance with this Section 5.10. If Bank shall ever

conform with the respective Plans and Specifications in all material respects or
with any applicable Requirements or are otherwise not in conformity with sound
building practice, Bank shall have the right to order replacement or correction
of any such materials or work, regardless of whether or not such materials or
work have theretofore been incorporated in the Improvements, regardless of
whether Bank's representatives have previously inspected such work or materials,
and regardless of whether Bank has previously made Advances to pay for such work
or materials. Borrower shall promptly make such replacement or correction.
Inspection by Bank or by Bank's inspectors of any Improvements is for the sole
purpose of protecting the security of Bank and is not to be construed as a
representation by Bank that there has been compliance with the applicable Plans
and Specifications or the applicable Requirements or that the Improvements are
free of defects in materials or workmanship. Borrower may make or cause to be
made such other independent inspections as Borrower may desire for its own
protection.
5.12 MISCELLANEOUS. Any inspections or determinations made by Bank or
lien waivers, receipts, or other agreements, documents and instruments obtained
by Bank are made or obtained solely for
53
<PAGE> 60
Bank's own benefit and not in any way for the benefit or protection of Borrower.
Bank may accept and rely on any information from any architect, any engineer,
any other Person providing labor, materials, or services for Improvements,
Borrower or any other Person as to labor or materials furnished or incorporated
in the Improvements and the cost and payment therefor and as to all other
matters relating to construction of the Improvements without the necessity of
verifying such information. Bank has no obligation to Borrower to ensure
compliance by any architect, any engineer, any contractor or any other Person in
carrying out construction of the Improvements.

the Units, Bank shall have the right to employ an outside inspector or
inspectors who shall review as agent for Bank all construction activities
undertaken in regard to the Improvements and who shall prepare reports of such
reviews. Alternatively, Bank may elect to have employees of Bank perform such
reviews and prepare such reports. In addition, the employees of Bank will review
the inspection reports of any outside inspector(s), will review Draw Requests,
will perform other activities related to Draw Requests, and will perform other
activities in administering and monitoring the Advances.

and deliver such additional agreements, documents and instruments and do or
cause to be done such other acts as Bank may reasonably request from time to
time to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the interest of Bank in the
Collateral and the rights and remedies of Bank under the Loan Documents.

any action or proceeding instituted by or against it in an amount in excess of

any commission or other regulatory body, Federal, state or local, foreign or

adversely determined, could result in a Material Adverse Change; and (c) any
action, proceeding or notice adversely affecting the Premises or any
Improvements or Bank's interest therein by any zoning, building or other
municipal officers, offices or departments having jurisdiction with respect to
the Premises.
5.24 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
5.24.1 Borrower shall comply and cause (i) all tenants under
any lease or occupancy agreement affecting any portion of the Premises and (ii)
all other Persons on or occupying any portion of the Premises to comply with all
Hazardous Materials Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not use, generate, manufacture,
store or dispose of, nor will it permit the use, generation, storage or disposal
of, any asbestos or, to the extent it would violate any Hazardous Materials
Laws, any other Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the
Premises; nor shall Borrower transport or permit the transportation of Hazardous
Materials to or from the Premises except as is customary in the residential
development and construction business and does not violate any Hazardous
Materials Law.
5.24.2 Borrower shall immediately advise Bank in writing of
(i) any and all Hazardous Materials Claims against Borrower or the Premises (ii)
any remedial action taken by Borrower in response to any (A) Hazardous Materials
on, under or about any portion of the Premises or (B) Hazardous Materials
Claims, and (iii) Borrower's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any
real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Premises that could cause the
Premises or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" under
the provisions of California Health and Safety Code Sections 25220 et seq. or
any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to
any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the
Premises under any Hazardous Materials Laws. In addition, Borrower shall provide

or agencies relating to Hazardous Materials Laws and

all communications with any Person relating to Hazardous Materials Claims.

requested by Bank, a report regarding Hazardous Materials, satisfactory to Bank
in its sole and absolute discretion, prepared by a consultant approved by Bank.
Borrower hereby grants to Bank, its agents, employees, consultants and
contractors, the right to enter upon the Premises, and to perform such tests on
the Premises as are necessary to conduct such a review and/or investigation. Any
such review and/or investigation shall be conducted, to the extent reasonably
practical, in a manner reasonably calculated to minimize disruption of the
Premises. If any report requested by Bank discloses that the Premises have been
or are now being used for any activities involving, directly or indirectly, the
generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in
violation of any Hazardous Materials Law, or which would require any remedial
action pursuant to any laws, rules or regulations of a governmental authority,
Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such event or situation and, within
thirty (30) days after such discovery, submit to Bank a preliminary written
environmental plan setting forth a general description of such event or
situation and the action that Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto.
Within sixty (60) days after such discovery, Borrower shall submit to Bank a
final written environmental report, setting forth a detailed description of such
event or situation and the action that Borrower proposes to take with respect
thereto, including, without limitation, any proposed corrective work, the
estimated cost and time of completion, the name of the contractor and a copy of
the construction contract, if any, and such additional data, instruments,
documents, agreements or other materials or information as Bank may reasonably
request. The plan shall be subject to Bank's written approval, which approval
may be granted or withheld in Bank's sole and absolute discretion and may be
subject to such additional conditions or requirements as Bank may impose. Once
any such plan is approved in writing by Bank, Borrower shall promptly commence
all action necessary to implement such plan and to comply with any requirements
and conditions imposed by Bank, and shall diligently and continuously pursue
such action to completion in strict accordance with the terms thereof.
5.24.4 Borrower shall not create or permit to continue in
existence any Lien (whether or not such Lien has priority over the lien created
by any Deed of Trust) upon the Premises or any portion thereof imposed pursuant
to any Hazardous Materials Law.
5.24.5 Bank shall have the right to join and participate in,
as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in
connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims.

of Borrower's funds in Bank's possession to the outstanding indebtedness under
the Note, whether or not such indebtedness is then due; Bank may exercise all
rights and remedies available to it under any or all of the Loan Documents; and
Bank shall have the right to cause an independent contractor selected by Bank to
enter into possession of the Premises and to perform any and all work and labor
necessary for the completion of the Improvements substantially in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications and to perform Borrower's obligations under
this Agreement. All sums expended by Bank for such purposes shall be deemed to
have been disbursed to and borrowed by Borrower and shall be secured by the Deed
of Trust.
7.2.2 Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Bank,
or an independent contractor selected by Bank, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution for the purposes of completion
of any Improvements and performance of Borrower's obligations under this
Agreement in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers such attorney-in-fact to
do any or all of the following upon the occurrence and during the continuance of

Bank may pursue inconsistent remedies.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 BANK'S OBLIGATIONS TO BORROWER ONLY AND DISCLAIMER BY BANK. No
Person, other than Borrower and Bank, shall have any rights hereunder or be a
third-party beneficiary hereof or of any other Loan Document. Bank is not a
joint venturer or a partner with Borrower. Prior to an Event of Default and
thereafter until Bank elects in writing to assume specific obligations of
Borrower, Bank shall not be obligated to any Person providing labor, materials
or other services for any Improvements; and payment of funds from Advances
directly to any such Person shall not give or be a recognition of any
third-party beneficiary status.
8.2 PUBLICITY. Upon Borrower's prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Bank shall have the right to
place one or more signs on the Premises
62
<PAGE> 69
at location(s) visible from public street(s) (but not on projects financed by
other Persons) indicating that Bank has provided financing for any Improvements.
8.3 NO BROKERS. Except as disclosed by Borrower to Bank in writing
prior to the date of this Agreement, each of Bank and Borrower represents and
warrants to the other of them that it knows of no broker's or finder's fee due
in respect of the transactions described in this Agreement and that it has not
used the services of a broker or a finder in connection with such transactions.
8.4 NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and consents to be made
hereunder to the parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered by

8.5 DISCLAIMER BY BANK. Bank shall not be liable to any contractor,
subcontractor, supplier, laborer, architect, engineer or any other Person for
services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Improvements.
Bank shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such
Person against Borrower or others or against the Premises. Borrower is not and
shall not be an agent of Bank for any purpose. Bank is not a joint venture
partner with Borrower in any manner whatsoever. Prior to default by Borrower
under this Agreement and the exercise of remedies granted herein, Bank shall not
be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of
services to the Premises; nor shall any payment of funds directly to a
contractor, subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any
third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by Bank. Approvals granted
by Bank for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed
to cover only the Persons and facts identified in any written approval or, if
not in writing, such approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Borrower.
8.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower
agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Bank, its directors,
officers, agents and employees for, from and against any and all liability,
expense or damage of any kind or nature and for, from and against any suits,
claims or demands, including reasonable legal fees and expenses on account of
any matter, thing or action, whether in suit or not, arising out of this
Agreement or in connection herewith, other than to the extent such claims and
liabilities arise from the gross negligence of Bank. Upon receiving knowledge of
any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Bank believes is
covered by this indemnity, Bank shall give Borrower notice of the matter and an
opportunity to defend it, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, with legal
counsel satisfactory to Bank. Bank may also require Borrower to so defend the
matter. The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.6 shall
survive the closing of the Commitment and the repayment of the Obligations.
8.7 CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict-of-laws rules or principles.
8.8 ASSIGNMENT. Borrower shall not assign any of its rights under this
Agreement.
64
<PAGE> 71
8.9 AUTHORITY TO FILE NOTICES. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as
its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to file for record upon
at least 24-hours' prior notice to Borrower, at Borrower's cost and expense and
in Borrower's name, any notices of completion, notices of cessation of labor, or
any other notices that Bank considers necessary or desirable to protect its
security.
8.10 INCONSISTENCIES WITH LOAN DOCUMENTS. In the event of any
inconsistencies between the terms of this Agreement and any terms of any of the
other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and prevail.
8.11 NO WAIVER. No disbursement of Advances shall constitute a waiver
of any conditions to Bank's obligation to make further disbursements nor, in the
event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such conditions, shall any such waiver
have the effect of precluding Bank from thereafter declaring such inability to
constitute a default under this Agreement.
8.12 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all taxes and assessments
and all expenses, charges, costs and fees provided for in this Agreement or
relating to the Premises or construction of any Improvements, including all
fees, charges and taxes in connection with recording or filing any of the Loan
Documents, title insurance premiums and charges, fees of any consultants, fees
and expenses of Bank's counsel (which attorneys may be employees of Bank), fees
and expenses of Bank's special counsel, printing, photostating and duplicating
expenses, air freight charges, escrow fees, costs of surveys, premiums of hazard
insurance policies and surety bonds, and fees for any appraisal, market or
feasibility study required by Bank. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to disburse
the proceeds of Advances in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.7 to
pay such expenses, charges, costs and fees notwithstanding that Borrower may not
have requested a disbursement of such amount. Such disbursement shall be added
to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. The authorization hereby
granted shall be irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from
Borrower shall be necessary for Bank to make such disbursements. However, the
provisions of this Section 8.12 shall not prevent Borrower from paying such
expenses, charges, costs and fees from its own funds. All such expenses,
charges, costs and fees shall be Borrower's obligation, regardless of whether or
not Borrower has requested and met the conditions for an Advance. The
obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.12 shall survive the
closing of the Commitment and the repayment of the Obligations. Borrower hereby
authorizes Bank, in its discretion, to pay such expenses, charges, costs and
fees at any time by a disbursement of an Advance. All costs, expenses and
charges under this Section 8.12 shall be reasonable.
65
<PAGE> 72
8.13 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of sections of this
Agreement are intended for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
8.14 CHANGES, WAIVERS, DISCHARGE AND MODIFICATIONS IN WRITING. No
provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
8.15 PARTICIPATIONS. Bank shall have the right upon not less than
30-days' prior written notice to Borrower to sell, assign, transfer or
negotiate, and, at any time, to grant participations in all or any part of the
Note and the other Loan Documents, provided (i) the assignee, transferee or
participant is an affiliate of Bank or (ii) the assignee, transferee or
participant is approved by Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld (Bank acknowledges that Borrower shall have no obligation to consent to
an assignment, transfer or participation to Bank of America, to Bankers Trust
Company or to a bank chartered by, or controlled directly or indirectly by a
Person or Persons that are based in a country other than the United States);
provided, however, that subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, Bank shall not be restricted with respect to any such
transaction. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any disposition made
in accordance with the preceding sentence shall give rise to a direct obligation
of Borrower to each Person to whom the Note is sold, assigned, transferred or
negotiated. Borrower's failure to disapprove a proposed participant within 30
days after written request therefor by Bank shall be deemed to be Borrower's
approval thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.15
shall require the prior approval of Borrower or limit or qualify the transfer or
assignment of Bank's ownership interest in the Note and the other Loan Documents
to any successor to Bank by merger, acquisition or otherwise by operations of
law or by a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Bank.
8.16 CONFIDENTIALITY. Bank agrees to hold confidential any non-public
information relating to financial projections or forecasts concerning Borrower
that it may receive pursuant to the Loan Documents, except for disclosures (i)
specifically authorized by Borrower; (ii) to purchasers or perspective
purchasers of any part of Bank's interest in the Note provided that such Persons
agree for the benefit of Borrower to the provisions of this Section 8.16; (iii)
to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisers to Bank; (iv) to
regulatory officials having jurisdiction over Bank; or (v) to the extent
required by law or a legal process.
66
<PAGE> 73
8.17 ATTORNEYS' FEES. For the purpose of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the terms "ATTORNEYS' FEES" or "ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS" shall
mean the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which
may include printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight
charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not
admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an
attorney. The terms "ATTORNEYS' FEES" or "ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS" shall also
include, without limitation, all such reasonable fees and expenses incurred with
respect to appeals, arbitrations and bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not
any action or proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which such
fees and expenses were incurred.
8.18 PREVAILING PARTY TO RECOVER FEES. In the event of any action or
proceeding brought by any party hereto against the other party hereto based upon
or arising out of any breach of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs, including
reasonable attorney's fees, from the other party.
8.19 SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT. The submission of this Agreement to
Borrower or its agent or attorney for review or signature does not constitute a
commitment by Bank to make any loan to Borrower; and this Agreement shall have
no binding force or effect until its execution and delivery by both Borrower and
Bank.
8.20 ARBITRATION.
8.20.1 BINDING ARBITRATION. Bank and Borrower hereby agree
that all controversies and claims of any nature between them (including, without
limitation, contract, tort and others) arising directly or indirectly out of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, at the written request of
either party hereto, be arbitrated pursuant to the applicable rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall occur in the State of
California. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the
construction and interpretation of this arbitration agreement.
8.20.2 ARBITRATION PANEL. A single arbitrator shall have the
power to render a maximum award of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). When
any party files a claim in excess of such amount, the arbitration decision shall
be made by the majority vote of three arbitrators. No arbitrator shall have the
power to restrain any act of any party.
8.20.3 PROVISIONAL REMEDIES; SELF-HELP; AND FORECLOSURE. No
provision of Section 8.20.1 shall limit the right of any party to exercise
self-help remedies, to foreclose against
67
<PAGE> 74
any real or personal property collateral, or to obtain any provisional or
ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, injunctive relief or the
appointment of a receiver) from a court of competent jurisdiction. At Bank's
option, it may enforce its right under a mortgage by judicial foreclosure, and
under a deed of trust either by exercise of power of sale or by judicial
foreclosure. The institution and maintenance of any remedy permitted above shall
not constitute a waiver of the rights to submit any controversy or claim to
arbitration. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches and similar
doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in any action brought by a party
shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding.
8.21 COUNTERPART EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document. Signature pages may be
detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Agreement
to physically form one document.
8.22 EXERCISE OF DISCRETION. Whenever any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document provides any party with discretion as to any action
that such party may or may not take, any right of approval, any right to be
satisfied as to certain matters, or any other similar discretionary rights, such
party shall act reasonably in exercising such discretion unless a different
standard is expressly set forth.
