<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">3.1 The Security Agreement is hereby amended by replacing <U>Section&nbsp;5</U> thereof in its
entirety with the following:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">&#147;5. <U>Collateral Assignment and Transfer</U>. Concurrently with the delivery by Borrower
to Administrative Agent of a Request for Credit Extension, for which Borrowers request the
inclusion of a Taxable Construction Loan in the Borrowing Base, the appropriate Borrower
shall execute, have notarized and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i)&nbsp;a collateral
assignment of Construction Note and Construction Loan Documents (a &#147;<U>Collateral
Assignment</U>&#148;) related thereto and (ii)&nbsp;an absolute assignment of Construction Note and

Collateral Assignment shall be held by Administrative Agent until such time as
Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to complete and record all or any of
the Collateral Assignments, in which event Borrowers hereby authorize and empower
Administrative Agent to complete and record all or any of the Collateral Assignments. Each
Transfer shall be held by Administrative Agent until such time that Administrative Agent or
a purchaser at foreclosure succeeds to the rights and interests of the applicable Borrower
in and to the Loan Collateral, pursuant to a public sale, private sale, judicial foreclosure
or other proceeding brought by Administrative Agent or by any other manner, in which event
Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Administrative Agent to complete and record all or
any of the Transfers. If Administrative Agent or a custodian does not have a Collateral
Assignment or Transfer with respect to any particular Taxable Construction Loan, the
appropriate Borrower shall upon demand of Administrative Agent execute and deliver an
appropriate Collateral Assignment or Transfer. In the event such Borrower shall fail to
execute such Collateral Assignment or Transfer within five (5)&nbsp;days after being requested to
do so by Administrative Agent, Borrowers hereby agree that Administrative Agent, in addition
to any other remedy available to Administrative Agent for Borrowers&#146; default, shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to execute, pursuant to the power of attorney granted to
Administrative Agent in <U>Section&nbsp;7 </U>of this Agreement, such Collateral Assignment or
Transfer without the consent or joinder of any Borrower in order to evidence Administrative
Agent&#146;s succession in interest to the appropriate Borrower in and to the applicable Loan
Collateral.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">9.&nbsp;<U>Waiver Fee</U>. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Amendment, the Loan
Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent the fee (the &#147;<U>Waiver
Fee</U>&#148;) described in that certain letter agreement of even date herewith between the Loan Parties
and the Administrative Agent (the &#147;<U>Fee Letter</U>&#148;). The Administrative Agent shall remit,
solely out of such funds actually received from the Loan Parties, to each Lender (including itself
as a Lender) that executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent a fully-executed counterpart of
this Amendment, a portion of the Waiver Fee in the amount of 0.10% of each such Lender&#146;s
Commitment., as reflected on <U>Schedule&nbsp;2.01</U> of the Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.&nbsp;<U>Conditions Precedent</U>. The agreements set forth in this Amendment are conditional and
this Amendment shall not be effective until the following conditions have been fulfilled to the
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">10.1 receipt by the Administrative Agent of fully-executed counterpart originals of this
Amendment from each Loan Party and the Required Lenders, as well as of the Fee Letter from each of
the parties thereto;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">10.2 receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Collateral Letter of Credit, along with an
opinion of counsel of the issuer of the Collateral Letter of Credit regarding the enforceability
thereof in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">10.3 receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Waiver Fee; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">10.4 the Disbursement Account shall have been established.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">11.&nbsp;<U>Condition Subsequent</U>. On or before October&nbsp;31, 2007 (the &#147;<U>Completion Date</U>&#148;),
the Loan Parties shall (i)&nbsp;execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully-executed,
original Collateral Assignment, in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, for each Taxable Construction Loan in the Borrowing Base as
of the Completion Date (collectively, the &#147;<U>Existing Assignments</U>&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;take any action
and execute, deliver and/or file any documents, agreements or instruments necessary to permit the
Administrative Agent to record the Existing Assignments (the &#147;<U>Necessary Actions</U>&#148;). The
failure to deliver the Existing Assignments or perform the Necessary Actions by the Completion Date
shall, at the Administrative Agent&#146;s option, be deemed to be an Event of Default.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">12.&nbsp;<U>Recording of Collateral Assignments</U>. Subject only to the exceptions set forth below,
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, proceed with recording all or any of the
Existing Assignments upon receipt thereof. The Loan Parties have informed the Administrative Agent
that the Taxable Construction Loans with respect to the projects known as Moss Oaks I, Churchill at
Commerce, Monticello and Plantation (collectively, the &#147;<U>Applicable Projects</U>&#148;) will be
removed from the Borrowing Base before December&nbsp;31, 2007. In reliance on the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not record the Collateral Assignments for the Applicable
Projects; provided that, in the event any of the Applicable Projects remains in the Borrowing Base
on or after December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, proceed with
recording the Collateral Assignment for such Applicable Project.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">13.&nbsp;<U>Representations and Warranties</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">13.1 The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent that: (i)&nbsp;as of the date of this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties
continues to have sufficient access to capital and liquidity to discharge its obligations as they
arise and to conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice; and (ii)
since June&nbsp;30, 2007, no other lender or creditor has accelerated any of the Loan Parties&#146;
Indebtedness or has charged default interest or other similar increased pricing with respect to any
of the Loan Parties&#146; Indebtedness.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">13.2 The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent as of the date of this Amendment that: (i)&nbsp;no Default is in existence or will
result from the execution and delivery of this Amendment or the consummation of any transactions
contemplated hereby; (ii)&nbsp;each of the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties in the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects on the
effective date of this Amendment (except for representations and warranties limited as to time or
with respect to a specific event, which representations and warranties shall continue to be limited
to such time or event) and (iii)&nbsp;this Amendment, the Credit Agreement (as amended by this
Amendment) and the other Loan Documents are legal, valid and binding agreements of the Loan Parties
and are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">14.&nbsp;<U>Ratification</U>. Except as hereby amended, the Credit Agreement, all other Loan Documents
and each provision thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall continue in
full force and effect, and this Amendment shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of
any Default or of any covenant, term or provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing ratification, by executing this Amendment in the space
provided below, the Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally (i)&nbsp;reaffirms its obligations
under the Guaranty, and (ii)&nbsp;absolutely and unconditionally consents to (a)&nbsp;the execution and
delivery by the Borrowers of this Amendment, (b)&nbsp;the continued implementation and consummation of
arrangements and transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, as amended hereby), and (c)&nbsp;the performance and observance by each
Borrower and the Guarantor of all of its respective agreements, covenants, duties and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, as amended
hereby).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">15.&nbsp;<U>Counterparts</U>. This Amendment may be executed and delivered in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures on each counterpart were upon the same
instrument.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">16.&nbsp;<U>Amendment as Loan Document</U>. Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that this
Amendment constitutes a &#147;Loan Document&#148; under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">17.&nbsp;<U>GOVERNING LAW</U>. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN
SUCH STATE (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES); <U>PROVIDED</U> THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">18.&nbsp;<U>Successors and Assigns</U>. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, each of the parties hereto, as well as to the Administrative Agent&#146;s and the Lenders&#146;
respective successors and assigns.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">19.&nbsp;<U>Headings</U>. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">20.&nbsp;<U>Integration</U>. The Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, comprise the complete
and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. This Amendment was drafted with the joint
participation of the parties hereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any
party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">21.&nbsp;<U>Further Assurances</U>. The Loan Parties shall execute such other documents as may be
necessary or as may be required, in the opinion of counsel to the Administrative Agent, to effect
the transactions contemplated hereby and to extend the liens and/or security interests of all other
collateral instruments, as modified by this Amendment, including, without limitation, any
modifications to, or re-filing of any financing statements previously filed by the Administrative
Agent. The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders, such other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent reasonably may request in
connection with the execution and delivery hereof or the consummation of any transactions or
actions contemplated hereby.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">22.&nbsp;<U>No Course of Dealing</U>. The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have entered
into this Amendment on the express understanding with each Borrower and the Guarantor that in
entering into this Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders are not
establishing any course of dealing with the Borrowers or the Guarantor. The Administrative Agent&#146;s
and the Lenders&#146; rights to require strict performance with all of the terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any way be impaired by the execution of
this Amendment. None of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be obligated in any manner
to execute any further amendments or waivers and if such waivers or amendments are requested in the
future, assuming the terms and conditions thereof are satisfactory to them, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may require the payment of fees in connection therewith. Each of the Loan
Parties agrees that none of the ratifications and reaffirmations set forth herein, nor the
Administrative Agent&#146;s nor any Lender&#146;s solicitation of such ratifications and reaffirmations,
constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or
any other ratification or reaffirmation from the Borrowers or the Guarantor with respect to any
subsequent modification, amendment, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">23.&nbsp;<U>Jury Trial Waiver</U>. THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE
REQUIRED LENDERS, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AMENDMENT MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF
DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY), AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY
WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR
HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
