In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would result in the inability to determine compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants] based upon the Loan Parties’ regularly prepared financial statements by reason of the preceding sentence, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would not affect the substance thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Loan Parties’ financial statements at that time.

                    2. REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWING LOAN FACILITIES

          2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments.

                    2.1.1 Revolving Credit Loans.

                    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Expiration Date provided that after giving effect to such Loan (a) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Outstandings and its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and (b) Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Borrowing Base at such time. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1. Revolving Credit Loans, as defined in and outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement, are hereby deemed to be Revolving Credit Loans hereunder.

                    The Borrower promises to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans in full on the Expiration Date and to discharge and fulfill when required all other of the Obligations.

                    2.1.2 Swing Loan Commitment.

                    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, PNC Bank shall make swing loans (the “Swing Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Swing Loan Commitment. The Swing Loan Commitment is a sublimit of the Revolving Credit Commitments and after giving effect to any Swing Loan: (a) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders, and (b) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in the first sentence of Section 7.2.10 [Borrowing Base]. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2. Swing Loans

shall, at the option of PNC Bank after consultation with the Borrower, be repaid by the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan deemed to have been made for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.8 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 [Settlement Date Procedures].

                    2.1.3 Reduction of Commitment.

                    (i) Voluntary. The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date (i) upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Agent to permanently reduce (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares) the Revolving Credit Commitments, in a minimum amount of $500,000 and whole multiples of $100,000 (provided that in no event shall the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments be voluntarily reduced at any time to an amount which is less than the Letter of Credit Outstandings) or (ii) at any time upon prepayment in full of the Obligations, terminate completely the Commitments, without penalty or premium except as hereinafter set forth, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity] hereof), to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof then outstanding exceeds the Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.1. shall be irrevocable.

                    (ii) Other. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof (including Sections 4.5.3, 7.2.11, 7.2.12, or 7.2.13), in no event shall the Commitments be reduced at any time to an amount less than the amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time. In the event that any provision hereof would otherwise require the Commitments to be reduced to an amount less than the Letter of Credit Outstandings: (a) no new Loans shall be made, (b) no new Letters of Credit shall be issued, (c) the Commitments shall immediately be reduced to an amount equal to the amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, and (d) thereafter, the Commitments shall reduce to the otherwise required level on a dollar for dollar basis as and when the Letter of Credit Outstandings are reduced from time to time.

          2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.

          Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Outstandings minus its Ratable Share of Swing Loans outstanding. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

          2.3 Commitment Fees.

          Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, as consideration for such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable unused fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) on the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be constituted from time to time and the (ii) the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding (plus, in the case of PNC Bank, its Swing Loans outstanding) plus its Ratable Share of

Letter of Credit Outstandings. All Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth (15) day of each calendar quarter (for the calendar quarter most recently ended) after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Obligations.

          2.4 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests.

                    2.4.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests.

                    Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request that the Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans or pursuant to Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans; and (ii) on the day of either the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4.1 or a request by telephone promptly confirmed in writing by letter or facsimile in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, which shall be in integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $2,500,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies and which shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the LIBOR Rate Option, Base Rate Option, or Index Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche.

                    2.4.2 Swing Loan Requests.

                    Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request that PNC Bank make Swing Loans by delivery to PNC Bank not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4.2 hereto or a request by telephone promptly confirmed in writing by letter or facsimile (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000.

          2.5 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans.

                    2.5.1 Generally.

                    The Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], but not later than 12:00 noon, Eastern time, notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying: (i) the proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement of the Revolving Credit Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.2

[Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent such that the Agent is able to, and the Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely manner, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 9.16 [Availability of Funds].

                    2.5.2 Making Swing Loans.

                    Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, PNC Bank shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4.2 [Swing Loan Requests], fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by PNC Bank of said Swing Loan Request but in any event by the close of business on the same Business Day.

          2.6 Swing Loan Note.

          The obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Loans made to it by PNC Bank together with interest thereon shall, if requested by PNC Bank, be evidenced by the Swing Loan Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of PNC Bank in a face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment.

          2.7 Use of Proceeds.

          The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to refinance existing indebtedness and provide for Letters of Credit and provide working capital and funds for general corporate purpose for the Borrower, Hovnanian and the Restricted Subsidiaries, all in accordance with Section 7.1.10 [Use of Proceeds].

          2.8 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

          PNC Bank may, at its option, and upon consultation with the Borrower, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand that each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans made in accordance with Section 2.5.2 [Making Swing Loans], plus, if PNC Bank so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Outstandings minus its Ratable Share of Swing Loans outstanding. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC Bank shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.8 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] or Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit] are then satisfied) by the time PNC Bank so requests, which shall not be earlier than three o’clock (3:00) p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC Bank.

          2.9 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

                    2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

                    The Borrower may request the issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of itself or another Loan Party by the Agent or any Lender which issues a Letter of Credit hereunder (such Lender, with respect to the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested by the Borrower, being a “Letter of Credit Lender”) by delivering to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Lender a completed application and agreement for letters of credit in such form as the Letter of Credit Lender and the Agent may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at least three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Letter of Credit Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each letter of credit issued by any Lender and described on Schedule 2.9.1 shall be deemed to be a “Letter of Credit” hereunder as of the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Letter of Credit Lender will issue a Letter of Credit, unless such Letter of Credit Lender has received written notice from the Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 6.2 shall not be satisfied. Each Letter of Credit shall have a maximum stated maturity of no later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. For purposes of this subsection, “stated maturity” is the expiration date of the Letter of Credit without giving effect to any future extension thereof under an automatic renewal provision, provided that such automatic renewal provision permits the Letter of Credit Lender to elect not to extend by giving written notice of cancellation to the beneficiary. In no event shall Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed, at any one time, the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) $450,000,000 (such lesser amount being the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”). After giving effect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 7.2.10(a) [Borrowing Base].

                    2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

                    The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate (computed on the daily average Letter of Credit Outstandings) and (ii) to the Agent on behalf of each respective Letter of Credit Lender for its own account a fronting fee for Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Lender equal to .125% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the fifteenth (15) day of each calendar quarter following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. The Borrower shall also pay to the Letter of Credit Lender for the Letter of Credit Lender’s sole account the Letter of Credit Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Letter of Credit Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

                    2.9.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

                              2.9.3.1 Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Letter of Credit Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

                              2.9.3.2 In the event of any request for a drawing on or before 11:00 a.m. under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Letter of Credit Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Letter of Credit Lender under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and not subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit]. Any notice given by the Letter of Credit Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

                              2.9.3.3 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] make available to the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4 [Disbursements, Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than two o’clock (2:00) p.m., Eastern time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.3.

                              2.9.3.4 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.2 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.3.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement].

                    2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

                              2.9.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Agent shall retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent. If the Letter of Credit Lender receives any such payment prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day and does not make payment to any such Lender which has made such a Participation Advance on the same

Business Day, then such Lender shall be entitled to receive such Letter of Credit Lender interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day until such payment is made to such Lender.

                              2.9.4.2 If the Agent or the Letter of Credit Lender is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 [Repayment of Participation Advances] in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lender, forthwith return to the Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent or such Letter of Credit Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

                    2.9.5 Documentation.

                    Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Letter of Credit Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Letter of Credit Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

                    2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.

                    In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

                    2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

                    Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

          (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Agent, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

          (ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], 2.4.2 [Swing Loan Requests] or 6.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit], if applicable, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

          (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

          (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Letter of Credit Lender or any Lender or any other Person or, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

          (v) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect even if the Letter of Credit Lender has been notified thereof;

          (vi) payment by the Letter of Credit Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

          (vii) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

          (viii) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

          (ix) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;

          (x) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

          (xi) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

          (xii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

                    2.9.8 Indemnity.

                    In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower], the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent and any Letter of Credit Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Letter of Credit Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

                    2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

                    As between any Loan Party and the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Letter of Credit Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or Letter of Credit Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Agent’s or any Letter of Credit Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender from liability for the Agent’s or any Letter of Credit Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.

                    In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Agent or any Letter of Credit Lender under any resulting liability to any Loan Party or any Lender.

                    2.9.10 Sharing Letter of Credit Documentation, Reporting.

                    Each Letter of Credit Lender shall furnish to the Agent:

                    (a) copies of any letter of credit application and related documentation to which such Letter of Credit Lender and a Loan Party are parties and promptly after issuance, a copy of any Letter of Credit or amendment to any Letter of Credit issued by such Lender,

                    If there exist any Letter of Credit Outstandings on the date which is 30 days prior to the Expiration Date, the Borrower shall immediately pledge and deposit with or deliver to Agent, for the benefit of each Letter of Credit Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for all outstanding Letters of Credit, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Borrowings, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and each Letter of Credit Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Such cash collateral shall be maintained in an interest bearing deposit or securities account at PNC Bank, shall be separate and distinct from the Cash Collateral Accounts hereunder, and may be invested in Permitted Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof (“L/C Cash Collateral”). The Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of each Letter of Credit Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all L/C Cash Collateral and all balances therein and all proceeds thereof.

          2.10 Extension by Lenders of the Expiration Date.

                    2.10.1 Requests; Approval by All Lenders.

                    After delivery by the Borrower of the annual financial statements to be provided under Section 7.3.2 [Annual Financial Statements] for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 or any subsequent fiscal year, the Borrower may request either a one-year or two-year extension (provided that any such extension may not cause the remaining term of this Agreement to exceed 5 years) of the Expiration Date, by written notice to the Lenders made by May 30 of the year in which such financial statements are due, and the Lenders agree to respond to the Borrower’s request for an extension no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the request; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to respond within such time period shall not in any manner constitute an agreement by such Lender to extend the Expiration Date. If all Lenders elect to extend, the Expiration Date shall be extended for a period of one year or two years, as requested by the Borrower. If one or more Lenders decline to extend or do not respond to Borrower’s request, the provisions of Section 2.10.2 [Approval by 66-2/3% Lenders] shall apply.

                    2.10.2 Approval by 66-2/3% Lenders.

                    In the event that one or more Lenders do not agree to extend the Expiration Date or do not respond to Borrower’s request for an extension within the time required under Section 2.10.1 [Requests; Approval by All Lenders] (each a “Non-approving Lender”), but 66-2/3% of the Lenders (measured by their Ratable Shares and not per capita) agree to such extension within such time (each such agreeing Lender being an “Extending Lender”), then the Borrower may, at the Borrower’s option, on or before July 31 of the year in which the Borrower made its request for an extension, notify the Agent and the Lenders that the Borrower intends to employ one or more of the following three (3) options: (i) cause the Commitment of each Non-approving Lender to be terminated (after which time such Non-approving Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder) and cause the aggregate Commitments to be reduced by the amount of such terminated Commitments, or (ii) require the Non-approving Lenders to sell, and allow (upon prior notice to the Agent) the Extending Lenders which have agreed to such extension within the time required under Section 2.10.1 [Requests; Approval by All Lenders] or any financial institution approved by the Agent and (absent an Event of Default) the Borrower (each such Person referred to in this clause (ii) being an “Assignee Lender”) to purchase all of the outstanding Loans if any, of the Non-approving Lenders and succeed to and assume the Commitments and all other rights, interests and obligations of the Non-approving Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) require the Non-approving Lender to remain a Lender and require it to maintain its Commitment and retain for such Non-approving Lender’s Commitment the “Expiration Date” established prior to the extension referred to in this Section 2.10.2, all subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. Any such purchase and assumption pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be (1) pursuant to an Assignment and

Assumption Agreement and (2) subject to and in accordance with Section 10.11 [Successors and Assigns]. The Borrower shall pay all amounts due and payable to the Non-approving Lender on the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement. In the event that the Agent shall become a Non-approving Lender, the provisions of this Section 2.10 [Extension by Lenders of the Expiration Date] shall be subject to Section 9.14 [Successor Agent]. In the event that the Borrower has selected the option described in clause (ii) above and if the Loans and Commitments of a Non-approving Lender are, nevertheless, not fully assigned and assumed pursuant to this Section 2.10.2, or terminated or retained pursuant to clause (i) or clause (iii) above, as applicable, on or before August 31 of the year in which the Borrower made its request for an extension, then the Expiration Date shall not be extended for any Lender. Nothing in this Section 2.10.2 shall expand the options provided in Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender].

          2.11 Designation of Subsidiaries and Release of Guarantors.

                    2.11.1 Release of Guarantors.

                    At any time when the Borrower wishes to cause the Lenders to release a Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement (whether directly or in connection with the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as a Non-Restricted Person), the consent of the Lenders shall be required as described below and shall be subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.11.

                    (a) For the release of (i) any Guarantor whose assets are principally comprised of residential or commercial property which is leased or held for the purposes of leasing to unaffiliated third parties or (ii) any Guarantor in which any Loan Party (or Loan Parties in the aggregate) has, at the time of such release, a Subsidiary Investment less than $1,000,000, (iii) Corporate Office Subsidiary incident to it becoming a Non-Restricted Person, or (iv) any Guarantor at the time that such Guarantor enters into a newly-formed Joint Venture with a person which is not an Affiliate of the Loan Parties and transfers all or a substantial portion of its assets to such Joint Venture provided that such Guarantor is a Non-Restricted Person (or simultaneously with the Borrower’s request for such release the Borrower has designated such Guarantor as a “Non-Restricted Person” in compliance with Section 2.11.2), no consent of the Lenders shall be required and such request of the Borrower shall be granted absent an Event of Default or Potential Default, effective on the date specified by the Borrower which shall not be earlier than five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Agent of such request;

                    (b) For the release of any Guarantor (not described in item (a)(i) hereof) in which any Loan Party (or Loan Parties in the aggregate) has, at the time of such release, a Subsidiary Investment greater than or equal to $1,000,000 and less than $10,000,000 (except Corporate Office Subsidiary, if otherwise applicable), the consent of Required Lenders shall be required;

                    (c) For the release of Hovnanian or any Guarantor (not described in item (a)(i) hereof) in which any Loan Party (or Loan Parties in the aggregate) has, at the time of such release, a Subsidiary Investment greater than or equal to $10,000,000 (except Corporate Office Subsidiary, if otherwise applicable), the consent of 100% of the Lenders shall be required; and

                    (d) The designation of a Person as a Non-Restricted Person for any reason shall not itself constitute a release of any Guarantor and any such release of such Person from its Guaranty shall be in accordance with this Section 2.11.

                    2.11.2 Designation of Non-Restricted Person.

                    The Borrower may, by written notice delivered to the Agent, designate as a Non-Restricted Person a Subsidiary formerly designated a Restricted Subsidiary or a newly formed or acquired Subsidiary, subject to: (i) the provisions of subsection 2.11.1 hereof in relation to Guaranties, (ii) the requirements of Section 7 [Covenants] and in particular Section 7.2.10 [Borrowing Base]; and (iii) the requirement that such designation not cause an Event of Default or Potential Default. Such designation shall be effective on the date specified by the Borrower which shall not be earlier than five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Agent of such notice.

                    2.11.3 Automatic Designation of Non-Restricted Person.

                    Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 8.1.10 [Insolvency], Section 8.1.14 [Involuntary Proceedings], Section 8.1.15 [Voluntary Proceedings], or the winding-up or termination of business, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall automatically become a Non-Restricted Person. Such designation as a Non-Restricted Person shall, with respect to such Person’s obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, if any, be subject to the requirements of Section 2.11.1 [Release of Guarantors] and such Subsidiary shall continue to be a Guarantor until such time as it is released from the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to such Section. The release of any Subsidiary which is a Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 2.11.1 [Release of Guarantors] shall automatically cause such Subsidiary to be a Non-Restricted Person.

                    2.11.4 Designation of Restricted Subsidiary.

                    The Borrower may by written notice delivered to the Agent designate as a Restricted Subsidiary a Subsidiary formerly designated a Non-Restricted Person or a newly formed or acquired Subsidiary. Such designation is subject to (i) compliance with Section 10.18 [Joinder of Guarantors]; (ii) the requirements of Section 7 [Covenants] and in particular Section 7.2.10 [Borrowing Base]; and (iii) the requirement that such designation not cause an Event of Default or Potential Default. Such designation shall be effective on the date specified by the Borrower which shall not be earlier than five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Agent of such notice.

                    2.11.5 Automatic Release of Related Collateral and Equity.

                    Upon the release of a Guarantor granted in accordance with Section 2.11.1 above, all equity issued by such Guarantor and pledged as Collateral to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and all other personal property Collateral granted by such Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be contemporaneously released without the necessity of any consent of any Lender. In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to Hovnanian or such Guarantor all documents that Hovnanian or such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

          2.12 [Reserved]

3. INTEREST RATES

          3.1 Interest Rate Options, Interest Rate and Fee Floor.

                    (i) The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option, Index Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew

one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans, and provided further that only the Base Rate Option shall apply to the Swing Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.

                    (ii) In all cases, the applicable interest rates and fees accruing or due on all Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding or on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be less than the applicable interest rate and fees which would have accrued, or been applicable, pursuant to the pricing grid and other related terms under the Prior Credit Agreement. Upon the reasonable request of Agent, the Borrower shall calculate the applicable rate and applicable fees pursuant to the terms and provisions of the pricing grid under the Prior Credit Agreement and pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and in all cases, the higher applicable rate and fees will apply.

                    3.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options, Adjustments.

                    The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to the provisions above regarding Swing Loans):

                    (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

                    (ii) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

                    (iii) Revolving Credit Index Rate Option. A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Index Rate.

                    In the event the Adjusted Leverage Ratio calculated by the Borrower is later adjusted or corrected resulting in a higher Adjusted Leverage Ratio which would have had the effect of increasing the Applicable Margin, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, or other pricing under or relating to this Agreement, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Lenders the additional amount of incremental interest and fees that would have been due to the Lenders had the Adjusted Leverage Ratio been initially calculated correctly, and such amount shall be paid to each of the Lenders (as applicable with respect to any such interest and fees) within fifteen (15) days of such adjustment or correction.

                    3.1.2 Rate Quotations.

                    The Borrower may call the Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

          3.2 Interest Periods.

          At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

          3.3 Interest After Default.

                    3.3.1 Default Rate.

                    To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 [Payment Under Loan Documents], Section 8.1.10 [Insolvency], Section 8.1.14 [Involuntary Proceedings], Section 8.1.15 [Voluntary Proceedings] or the Obligations are accelerated under this Agreement and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, all past due principal and all past due accrued interest thereon and fees and expenses and each other past due Obligation payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 3.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full (the “Default Rate”).

                    3.3.2 Acknowledgment.

                    The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rate referred to in Section 3.3.1 [Default Rate] reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.

          3.4 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

                    3.4.1 Unascertainable.

                    If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate or Index Rate would otherwise be determined, the Agent shall have determined that:

                    (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such LIBOR Rate or Index Rate, or

                    (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate or Index Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

                    3.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

                    If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

                    (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in

good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

                    (ii) such LIBOR Rate Option or Index Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

                    (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,

then the Agent and such Lender shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

                    3.4.3 Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.

                    In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option or Index Rate Option, as applicable shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Agent, of the Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option or Index Rate Option, as applicable, and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a LIBOR Rate Option or Index Rate Option, as applicable, applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

          3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.

          If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

4. PAYMENTS

          4.1 Payments.

          All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to eleven o’clock (11:00) a.m., Eastern time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by eleven o’clock (11:00) a.m., Eastern time, by the Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Agent, the Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

          4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

          Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Sections 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality, Increased Costs, Deposits Not Available], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2 [Revolving Credit and Swing Loan Facilities].

          4.3 Interest Payment Dates.

          Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Loan. Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 4.5 [Mandatory Payments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

          4.4 Voluntary Prepayments.

                    4.4.1 Right to Prepay.

                    The Borrower shall have the right at its option at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below or in Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]).

Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Agent no later than (A) 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies, (B) 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies or (C) 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:

                    (x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

          (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Swing Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans; and

          (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than (i) $100,000 and in increments of $100,000 for any Swing Loans, (ii) $500,000 and in increments of $100,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option or Index Rate Option applies or (iii) $2,500,000 and in increments of $500,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies.

                    All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Swing Loans, then to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Index Rate Option applies and then to Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity].

                    4.4.2 Replacement of a Lender.

                              (a) In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] or Section 4.6.1 [Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.], (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Lender, or (iii) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Lender in whole, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other Obligations owing to such Lender, and terminate such Lender’s Commitment within ninety (90) days after (x) receipt of such Lender’s notice under Section 3.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] or 4.6.1 [Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.], (y) the date such Lender has failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Lender, or (z) the date such Lender became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable; provided that the Borrower shall also pay to such Lender at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees; provided, further, the

remaining Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 9.14 [Successor Agent].

                               (b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or consent in accordance with Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at Borrower’s expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Agents, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Agents, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.11 [Successors and Assigns].

                    4.4.3 Change of Lending Office.

                    Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] or 4.6.1 [Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.] with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 4.4.3 [Change of Lending Office] shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of the Agent or any Lender provided in this Agreement.

          4.5 Mandatory Payments; Temporary Reduction of Commitments.

                    4.5.1 Revolving Facility Usage in Excess of Commitments.

                    The Borrower shall make mandatory payments of principal on the Revolving Credit Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) to the Agent to the extent by which Revolving Facility Usage exceeds at any time the Commitments (as they may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.1. [Voluntary Reduction of Commitment], Section 2.10.2 [Approval by 66-2/3% Lenders] or otherwise) within three (3) Business Days after such excess is calculated.

                    4.5.2 Cash in Excess of $100 Million.

basis for such determination, provided however, that any such determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require any Lender or Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential).

                    (ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

                    (iii) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee, Letter of Credit Fees, or any other amount due hereunder.

                    If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

                    Each Loan Party shall maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and business if the failure so to maintain the same would constitute a Material Adverse Change.

                    Each Loan Party shall comply with all applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all respects, provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 7.1.9 if any failure to comply with any Law would not result in fines, penalties, remediation costs, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change.

(until such time, such real property is referred to as the “Interim Additional Mortgaged Collateral”). The value of Interim Additional Mortgaged Collateral for the purposes of the Secured Borrowing Base shall be an amount equal to one-half of the book value of such real property as shown on the most recent balance sheet of Hovnanian or the appropriate Loan Party (the “Interim Value”).

                    7.2.10 Borrowing Base.

                    (a) Limitation, Maintenance of Unsecured Borrowing Base. Until the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Loan Parties shall not permit Senior Homebuilding Indebtedness minus the face amount of outstanding letters of credit (whether “Letters of Credit” or not) in respect of which a Loan Party is obligated and which is issued to guaranty or assure the installation of site improvements on (or appurtenant to) land owned by a Loan Party to exceed the Unsecured Borrowing Base at any time. Pursuant thereto, the Borrower shall make (or cause to be made), on the Business Day following the date on which any such excess is calculated, payments of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans (and, once all Revolving Credit Loans have been paid, pledges of deposits of L/C Collateral, and then payments of

principal of the other Senior Homebuilding Indebtedness) sufficient to reduce to zero ($0) on such date any such excess.

                    (b) Limitation, Maintenance of Secured Borrowing Base. After the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Loan Parties shall not permit the Revolving Facility Usage to exceed the Secured Borrowing Base at any time.

                    (d) Rejection of Parcels. All Mortgaged Collateral shall at all times be and remain subject to the criteria applicable to Qualified Real Property, and the Agent shall retain the right to (i) reject individual parcels of real estate from inclusion in the Secured Borrowing Base based upon a reasonable determination that such parcel is not appropriate for inclusion therein after, and based on, due diligence with respect thereto, or (ii) remove Mortgaged Collateral from the Secured Borrowing Base based on a reasonable determination that such parcel of Mortgaged Property has suffered a material casualty or become subject to material and adverse condemnation, rezoning, revocation of permits, impairment of development rights, environmental conditions, taxes, levy, seizure, attachment, forfeiture, imposition, or a like material and adverse matter to the effect, in any case, that the value of such parcel is significantly impaired or there exists, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, potential material liability to the holder of a mortgage thereon. Upon the rejection or removal of a parcel of real estate by the Agent from inclusion in the Borrowing Base, such parcel shall be accorded no value in the Borrowing Base and the Lenders hereby consent and authorize the Agent to execute and deliver to Borrower or otherwise record a release of such parcel from any Lien thereon held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

                    (e) Reappraisal Rights. The Agent shall have the right to and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall reappraise any, or all, of the Mortgaged Collateral at any time and from time to time, provided that (subject to the other terms hereof) the reappraisal of each parcel of Mortgaged Collateral may occur at the Borrower’s cost and expense only once in each twelve (12) month period commencing one year after the date of the initial appraisal of such Mortgaged Collateral. The Borrower shall have the right to request reappraisals of any or all of the Mortgaged Collateral at any time at the Borrower’s cost and expense. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall require reappraisal of any, or all, of the Mortgaged Collateral at any time and from time to time in each case at the cost and expense of the Borrower. With respect to any parcel of Mortgaged Collateral that has suffered a condition described in clause (d)(ii) above, the Agent shall have the right to and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall require the reappraisal of such parcel at the cost and expense of Borrower.

                    (f) Borrowing Base Surplus, Releases. In the event that the Secured Borrowing Base exceeds the Revolving Facility Usage at any time after the end of the Due Diligence Period, Borrower may, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice, request in writing that the Agent release the Lien it holds for the Lenders on such portion of the Mortgaged Collateral that has an aggregate Adjusted

Appraised Value no greater than such excess. So long as there exists no Potential Default or continuing Event of Default and no Event of Default or Potential Default would result after giving effect to such requested release, Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall provide a release of its Liens on such portion of the Mortgaged Collateral (including any related personal property) in recordable form within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to the extent that and so long as the Adjusted Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Collateral being released does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Secured Borrowing Base, and either (1) the Secured Borrowing Base, as reasonably demonstrated by Borrower to Agent, shall equal at least 120% of the Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such proposed release, or (2) the Secured Borrowing Base, after giving effect to such proposed release, shall equal at least 105% of the Secured Borrowing Base immediately prior to such release, as reasonably demonstrated by Borrower to Agent, after taking into account additional Collateral in the form of a deposit in a Cash Collateral Account or Additional Mortgaged Collateral or Interim Additional Mortgaged Collateral which the Borrower substitutes in the Secured Borrowing Base in place of the Mortgaged Collateral that is proposed to be released. In the event that, after giving effect to such proposed release, neither of the conditions set forth in clause (1) or (2) above are satisfied, then no release shall be provided unless (i) Agent has received at Borrower’s cost and expense Acceptable Appraisals dated within two (2) months of the proposed date of the release with respect to all Mortgaged Collateral that is to remain in the Secured Borrowing Base after giving effect to such proposed release and (ii) based upon the results of such Acceptable Appraisals, the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Secured Borrowing Base after giving effect to the proposed release and (iii) there exists no Potential Default or continuing Event of Default and no Event of Default or Potential Default would result after giving effect to such requested release. Each of the Lenders hereby consents to the release of Collateral as set forth above without the necessity of any further action or consent on its part.

                    (g) Sales of Mortgaged Collateral, Releases. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, after the end of the Due Diligence Period, none of the Loan Parties shall sell, or otherwise transfer any Mortgaged Collateral or any portion thereof unless:

                    (i) the Borrower from time to time notifies Agent of a sale or transfer of such Mortgaged Collateral or portion thereof, requests in writing that the Agent release the Lien it holds for the Lenders on such Mortgaged Collateral or any portion thereof for the purpose of accommodating the customary settlement of home sales or sales of home sites or other real estate to a buyer in the ordinary course of the business of the Loan Parties or in order to accommodate other sales or transfers of real estate parcels which are otherwise permitted hereunder, including bulk sales of real estate parcels or transfers of real estate parcels to Non-Restricted Subsidiaries otherwise permitted hereunder; provided that such notice is accompanied by a certification by the Borrower to the Lenders and Agent that (A) at the time of such notice and after giving effect to such sale or transfer and the use of proceeds thereof, there is and shall exist no Event of Default or Potential Default, and (B) the targeted closing date for such sale or transfer is scheduled for or otherwise expected to occur within forty-five (45) days of the date on which the release is requested; and

9. THE AGENT

          9.1 Appointment.

          Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes PNC Bank to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Lenders the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank agrees to act as the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the extent provided in this Agreement.

          9.2 Delegation of Duties.

          The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as Agent) and, subject to Sections 9.5

[Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower] and 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability], shall be entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any attorneys, accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained.

          9.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.

          The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender expressly acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender; (ii) that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii) except as expressly provided herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.

          9.4 Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From the Lenders.

          The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, to take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Lenders, subject to Section 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability]. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability], no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.

          9.5 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower.

          The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors and hold such Persons harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel (including the allocated costs of staff counsel), incurred by such Persons (i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii)

relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Persons, in their capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Persons hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from such Persons’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of such Person’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, or if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.

          9.6 Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability.

          Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan Parties, any Lender, the Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out of or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, including the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans, and each of the Loan Parties (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the Agent and each Lender hereby waive, release and agree never to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and whether or not it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor. The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender copies of financial statements delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.3.1 and Section 7.3.2 and the Borrowing Base Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 7.3.3.2. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder or given to the Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders, the Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility

to provide any Lender with credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates.

          9.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Lenders.

          Each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in proportion to such Lender’s Ratable Share from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of appraisers and environmental consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Persons, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Persons hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from such Persons’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such Lender was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Lender shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Lender), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Lender agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse such Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent’s periodic audit of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.

          9.8 Reliance by Agent.

          The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, electronic mail, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

          9.9 Notice of Default.

          The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.

          9.10 Notices.

          The Agent shall promptly send to each Lender a copy of all notices received from the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Lenders of each change in the Base Rate and the effective date thereof.

          9.11 Lenders in Their Individual Capacities; Agents in its Individual Capacity.

          With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Loans made by it and any other rights and powers given to it as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Lender, as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder, in each case without notice to or consent of the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive information regarding the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

          9.12 Holders of Notes.

          The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

          9.13 Equalization of Lenders.

          The Lenders and the holders of any participations in any Commitments or Loans or other rights or obligations of a Lender hereunder agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Lender or any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Lenders and such holders in proportion to their interests in payments on the Loans, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]. The Lenders or any such holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Lenders an interest in such Lender’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Lenders and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount of the Loans, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Lender or the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase.

          9.14 Successor Agent.

          The Agent (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall resign if such resignation is requested by the Required Lenders (if the Agent is a Lender, the Agent’s Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in

determining whether the Required Lenders have requested such resignation) or required by Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender], in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then the Agent shall appoint from among the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

          9.15 Agent’s Fee.

          The Borrower shall pay to the Agent the nonrefundable fee (the “Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) between the Borrower and Agent, as amended from time to time.

          9.16 Availability of Funds.

          The Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been notified by such Lender on or before the later of (1) the close of Business on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan or two (2) hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 9.16 or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Lenders and whether such funding occurs before or after the time on which Lenders are required to deposit the proceeds of such Loan with the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

          9.17 Calculations.

          In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Agent, the Borrower and each affected Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

          9.18 Beneficiaries.

          Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 9 [The Agent] are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any of the Loan Parties.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

          With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder.

          No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions.

          Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] with respect to Interest Periods under the LIBOR Rate Option) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

          10.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

                    10.5.1 Notional Funding.

                    Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation (including pursuant to Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) than it would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or available to such Lender.

                    10.5.2 Actual Funding.

                    Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5.2. If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Lender, but in no event shall any Lender’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred.

          10.6 Notices.

          Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 10.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”) if Notice of such Website Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties hereto by another means set forth in this Section 10.6 in accordance with this Section 10.6.

                              (iii) In the case of a telephonic Notice, when a party is contacted by telephone, if delivery of such telephonic Notice is confirmed no later than the next Business Day by hand delivery, a facsimile or electronic transmission, a Website Posting or overnight courier delivery of a confirmatory notice (received at or before noon on such next Business Day);

                              (iv) In the case of a facsimile transmission, when sent to the applicable party’s facsimile machine’s telephone number if the party sending such Notice receives confirmation of the delivery thereof from its own facsimile machine;

                              (v) In the case of electronic transmission, when actually received;

                              (vi) In the case of a Website Posting, upon delivery of a Notice of such posting (including the information necessary to access such web site) by another means set forth in this Section 10.6; and

Any Lender giving a Notice to a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of its receipt of such Notice.

          10.7 Severability.

          The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

          10.8 Governing Law.

          Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.10 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of

Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised or amended from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal laws of the State of New York, and the balance of this Agreement shall be and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Each Lender may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other entities, subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (A) if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, (B) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, or (C) in respect of the sale of a participation, (2) any assignment by a Lender to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender may not be made in amounts less than the lesser of $10,000,000 or the amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and (3) no consent of the Agent shall be required in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender.

Any Lender which assigns any or all of its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender shall pay to the Agent a service fee in the

amount of $3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 8.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in Sections 10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment, Extension of Expiration Date], or 10.1.2 [Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment]), all of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

                    10.11.2 Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate as described in Section 10.17 [Tax Withholding Clause] relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Lender may furnish any publicly available information concerning Hovnanian or any Loan Party and any other information concerning Hovnanian or any Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.12 [Confidentiality].

                    10.11.3 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Note (if any) and the other Loan Documents to any Federal Reserve Lender in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14 without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent. No such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release the transferor Lender of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

          10.12 Confidentiality.

                    10.12.1 General.

                    The Agent and the Lenders each agree to keep confidential all information obtained from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature (including any information the Borrower specifically designates as confidential), except as provided below, and to use such information only in connection with their respective capacities under this Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Agent and the Lenders shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (ii) to Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and similar rating agencies, (iii) to assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 10.11 [Successors and Assigns], and prospective assignees and participants subject to an agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (iv) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or, with notice to the Borrower, as otherwise required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) if it becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from a source not known to be subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (vi) if the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure.

                    10.12.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders.

                    Each Loan Party a party hereto acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services (including the provision of swaps, derivatives, securitizations or other financial products) may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties a party hereto hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 10.12 [Confidentiality] as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such Authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

          10.13 Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed by different parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

          Whenever the Agent’s or any Lender’s consent is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, unless specifically otherwise provided herein, the Agent and each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold such consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral, the payment of money or any other matter.

          10.15 Exceptions.

          The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be independent of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in contravention of applicable Law.

          10.16 CONSENT TO FORUM; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

          EACH LOAN PARTY A PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESSES PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 10.6 [NOTICES] AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. EACH LOAN PARTY A PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED AGAINST IT AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE.

          10.17 Certifications From Lenders and Participants.

                    10.17.1 Tax Withholding Clause.

                    Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under §1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (“Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e., U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Such delivery may be made by electronic transmission as described in §1.1441-1(e)(4)(iv) of the Regulations if the Agent establishes an electronic delivery system. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under §1.1441-1(e)(3) of the Regulations; a statement described in §1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Lender, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a valid Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lender; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of, or exemption from, United States withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under §1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Agent is indemnified under §1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under §1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.

                    10.17.2 USA PATRIOT Act.

                    Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign Lender that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

          10.18 Joinder of Guarantors.

          Any Subsidiary of Hovnanian which is required to join the Guaranty Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.2.7 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] or which is to become, a Restricted Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Agent or the Agent’s counsel (i) a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor the Guaranty Agreement; and (ii) at the request of the Agent or its counsel, documents in the forms described in Section 6.1 [First Loans and Letters of Credit] modified as appropriate to relate to such new Guarantor. Hovnanian and Borrower shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and any related documents that the Agent or its counsel may reasonably request to the Agent or its counsel after the formation thereof and its designation as a Restricted Subsidiary; such Subsidiary shall not be a Restricted Subsidiary until the delivery and effectiveness of the items required herein.

          10.19 Concerning Agent Terms.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be construed to the contrary, none of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, Co-Managing Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners shall exercise any of the rights or have any of the responsibilities of the Agent hereunder, or any other rights or responsibilities other than their respective rights and responsibilities (if any) as Lenders hereunder.

          10.20 Ratification of Notes and Loan Documents and Existing Obligations.

          This Agreement amends and restates, and supersedes, the Prior Credit Agreement and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the “Obligations” under the Prior Credit Agreement. On the date this Agreement becomes effective, and subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Agent in its sole discretion) of all applicable conditions to advances hereunder, all sums owing under the Prior Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents thereunder shall be deemed to be outstanding and owing under, evidenced by, and governed by the terms of this Agreement, the new Notes, and the other Loan Documents.

          10.21 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

          Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

          WHEREAS, Borrower, Hovnanian, the Lenders and the Agent desire to amend the Sixth Credit Agreement as set forth in Exhibit I hereto, subject to the terms and conditions hereof;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, and in consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:

13. Effective Date; Certification of the Borrower.

18. Counterpart; Telecopy Signatures.

          This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or electronic (i.e., “e-mail” or “portable document format” (“pdf”)) transmission to the Agent of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of such party shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such party.

FORM OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT

                    THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT (the “Guarantee”) is made and entered into March 7, 2008, by each of the entities listed on the signature pages hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, including its successors and assigns, as administrative agent for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement described below (the “Agent”).

                    In order to induce the Lenders to continue existing, and to make new, loans to K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation (the “Borrower”), in accordance with the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as it may hereafter from time to time be amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (one of the Guarantors), the Agent, and the Lenders now or hereafter party thereto (the “Lenders”), each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, and becomes surety as though it was a primary obligor for, the full and timely payment when due, whether at maturity, by declaration, acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), both those now in existence and those that shall hereafter be made, of the Borrower and each and every other Loan Party to the Agent and the Lenders, or any of their respective Affiliates, under the Credit Agreement and the Notes issued by the Borrower in connection therewith and any of the other Loan Documents, together with any extensions, renewals, replacements or refundings thereof and including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees) (hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness”), whether or not such Guaranteed Indebtedness or any portion thereof shall hereafter be released or discharged (other than as a result of the full indefeasible payment thereof) or is for any reason invalid or unenforceable.

                    19. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have such meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

                    20. Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees to make full payment forthwith upon demand of the Agent when the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any portion thereof is due to be paid by the Borrower or any other Guarantor to the Lenders, whether at stated maturity, by declaration, acceleration or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees to make such full payment irrespective of whether or not any one or more of the following events has occurred: (i) the Agent has made any demand on the Borrower or any other Guarantor; (ii) the Agent has taken any action of any nature against the Borrower or any other Guarantor; (iii) the Agent has pursued any rights which it has against any other Person who may be liable for the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (iv) the Agent holds or has resorted to any security for the Guaranteed Indebtedness; or (v) the Agent has invoked any other remedy or right it has available with respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Each Guarantor further agrees to make full payment to the Lenders even if circumstances exist which otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor as surety or guarantor.

                    21. Representations and Warranties. The terms, conditions and provisions of Section 5.1 [Representations and Warranties] of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth in this Guarantee. The Guarantors, jointly and severally, without any further act or undertaking or the occurrence of any other event, make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 [Representations and Warranties] of the Credit Agreement to the Agent and to each of the Lenders on the date hereof and on the Closing Date and each date thereafter on which a Loan is made or a Letter of Credit is issued as provided in and subject to Section 6.1 [First Loans and Letters of Credit] and Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit] of the Credit Agreement. In addition, each Guarantor

warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that: (i) no other agreement, representation or special condition exists between such Guarantor and the Agent or any Lender regarding the liability of such Guarantor hereunder, nor does any understanding exist between such Guarantor and any Lender that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are or will be other than as set forth herein; and (ii) as of the date hereof, such Guarantor has no defense whatsoever to any action or proceeding that may be brought to enforce this Guarantee.

                    22. Waiver as to Enforcement, Etc. Until all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness is paid in full, each Guarantor waives and agrees not to enforce any of the rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or the other Guarantors or the Agent and the Lenders, as the case may be, including, but not limited to: (i) any right of such Guarantor to be subrogated in whole or in part to any right or claim with respect to any Guaranteed Indebtedness or any portion thereof to the Lenders which might otherwise arise from payment by any Guarantor to the Lenders on the account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any portion thereof; and (ii) any right of any Guarantor to require the marshalling of assets. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

                    23. Waivers as to Lender Remedies. Each Guarantor waives promptness and diligence by the Lenders with respect to its rights under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, this Guarantee.

                    26. Obligations Absolute.

Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Indebtedness will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby consents to, at any time and from time to time and without any notice to any Guarantor, and the joint and several obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following:

                    26.1 Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and

regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto;

                    26.2 Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of, or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise, extension, indulgence with respect to payment of or settlement, renewal or waiver of, any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any waiver or change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness including without limitation, the rate of interest charged to the Borrower or any Guarantor, of any note, instrument, or agreement relating to the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any portion thereof; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness;

                    26.3 Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or under in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any forbearance, exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, release, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against the Borrower any Guarantor or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Guarantor; or any application of collections (including but not limited to collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Indebtedness) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Guarantee, in preference to Guaranteed Indebtedness entitled to the benefits of this Guarantee, or if any collections are applied to Guaranteed Indebtedness, any application to particular Guaranteed Indebtedness; any defense or other right arising by reason of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including but not limited to anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, to seek a deficiency against the Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; and any and all defenses it may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like;

                    26.4 Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination, subordination, compromise, release, exchange, surrender, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights, or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by any of the Agent or the Lenders, or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness;

                    26.5 Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of, the Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any other Person; or any action taken or election made by the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code), the Borrower, or any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

                    26.6 Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; or any discharge by operation of law or release of the Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; or

                    26.7 Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of, any Guarantor, a guarantor or a surety, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Guaranteed Indebtedness in full.

                    27. Joint and Several Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally bound by the terms of this Guarantee and jointly and severally liable under this Guarantee. As a result of such liability, each Guarantor acknowledges that the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Guarantee for the total Guaranteed Indebtedness against any Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue the other Guarantors and that such an election by the Lenders shall not be a defense to any action the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may elect to take against any Guarantor.

                    28. Set-Off, Default Payments by Borrower. If any amount owing hereunder shall have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), any Lender and any branch, subsidiary or affiliate of any Lender anywhere in the world shall each have the right, at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by Law, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without prior notice to any Guarantor, to set-off against and to appropriate and apply to such due and payable amounts any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of any Guarantor by any Lender or any such branch, subsidiary or affiliate including, without limitation, all funds in all deposit accounts (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by any Guarantor with any Lender or such branch, subsidiary or affiliate. Such right shall exist whether or not any Lender shall have given notice or made any demand hereunder or under any of the Notes or Loan Documents, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of any Guarantor is or are matured or unmatured, and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guarantee or any other security, right or remedy available to any Lender. Each Guarantor hereby consents to and confirms the foregoing arrangements, and confirms each Lenders rights and each such branch’s, subsidiary’s and affiliate’s rights of banker’s lien and set-off.

                    29. Additional Guaranteed Indebtedness.

                    30. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment, from whomever received, theretofore applied by the Lenders to any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness is or must be rescinded or returned by the Lenders for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Guarantor, such liability shall, for the purposes of this Guarantee, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by any Lender, and this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such liabilities, all as though such application by the Lenders had not been made.

                    31. Amendments and Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees that no failure or delay on the part of any Lender or of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to exercise any of its rights, powers or privileges under this Guarantee shall be a waiver of such rights, powers or privileges or a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s or of any Lenders’ rights, powers or privileges preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default. Each Guarantor further agrees that no waiver or modification of any rights of the Lenders or of the Agent under this Guarantee shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each Lender and the Agent. Each Guarantor further agrees that each written waiver shall extend only to the specific instance actually recited in such written waiver and shall not impair the rights of any Lender or of the Agent in any other respect.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that in addition to binding itself to this Guarantee, at the time of execution of this Guarantee, the Agent offered to such Guarantor a copy of this Guarantee in the form in which it was executed and that by acknowledging this fact such Guarantor may not later be able to claim that a copy of the Guarantee was not received by it.

                    35. Binding Effect; Assignment. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein. Each Guarantor further agrees that (i) this Guarantee is freely assignable and transferable by the Lenders in connection with any assignment or transfer of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and (ii) this Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their successors and assigns.

                    36. Default. Each Guarantor agrees that if any Guarantor fails to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder or if there occurs and continues to exist an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness may be declared to be forthwith due and payable and, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1.13 [Involuntary Proceedings] or Section 8.1.14 [Voluntary Proceedings] of the Credit Agreement, the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable, in any case without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

                    37. Cumulative Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that the enumeration of the Lenders’ rights and remedies set forth in this Guarantee is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by any of the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under any other agreement among the parties to the Loan Documents or which may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise.

                    38. Notices.

                    39.1 Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable against a Guarantor, in such jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction and such Guarantor, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or against any other Guarantor;

                    39.2 ;Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under the applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 31 hereof);

                    39.3 Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Indebtedness may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor as may be determined under clause (b) above without impairing the guarantee contained in the Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent or any Lender hereunder.

          40. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

AND RENTS AND FIXTURE FILING
(THIS MORTGAGE SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES)

          THIS OPEN-END MORTGAGE, SECURITY AGREEMENT, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AND FIXTURE FILING (this “Mortgage”) is made as of the ___ day of __________________________________,      2008,      by    __________________________,       a __________________________ (the “Mortgagor” and “Debtor”), with an address at c/o Hovnanian Enterprises, 110 West Front Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701, in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, with an address at Firstside Center, 500 First Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, individually and as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Mortgagee” and “Secured Party”).

          WHEREAS, the Mortgagor is the owner of a certain tract or parcel of land described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with the improvements now or hereafter erected thereon; and

          WHEREAS, K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation (the “Borrower”) has borrowed or will borrow an amount not to exceed $900,000,000 (the “Loan”) from the lenders (each a “Lender” and collectively the “Lenders”) party to that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 7, 2008 (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

          WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall mean as defined in the Credit Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by the Notes, which Notes are secured by, among other things, the Guaranty Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, Mortgagor is an Affiliate of Borrower and will substantially benefit from the making of the Loan.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for the purpose of securing the payment and performance of the following obligations (collectively called the “Secured Obligations”):

          (A) The Loan, the Notes, the Guaranty Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the Fee Letter, and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Mortgagor or by the Borrower to the Agent, the Lenders, or to any Affiliate of Agent or any Lender, of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Mortgagor, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest or currency swap, future, option

or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, or (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Mortgagee to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Mortgagee’s non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

          (B) Any sums advanced by the Mortgagee or which may otherwise become due pursuant to the provisions of the Notes, the Letter of Credit, the Fee Letter, the Guaranty Agreement or this Mortgage or pursuant to any other document or instrument at any time delivered to the Mortgagee to evidence or secure any of the Secured Obligations or which otherwise relate to any of the Secured Obligations (as the same may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Loan Documents”).

The Mortgagor, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, does hereby give, grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, set over and confirm unto the Mortgagee and does agree that the Mortgagee shall have a security interest in all of Mortgagor’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the following described property, all accessions and additions thereto, all substitutions therefor and replacements and proceeds thereof, and all reversions and remainders of such property now owned or held or hereafter acquired (the “Property”), to wit:

          (a) The premises described in Exhibit A, together with all of the easements, rights of way, privileges, liberties, hereditaments, gores, streets, alleys, passages, ways, waters, watercourses, rights and appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining, and all of the Mortgagor’s estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein and in the public streets and ways adjacent thereto, either in law or in equity (the “Land”);

          (b) All the buildings, structures and improvements of every kind and description now or hereafter erected or placed on the Land (the “Improvements”);

          (c) All fixtures of any kind, as defined under the law of the state where the Land is located (the “Fixtures”);

          (d) All other machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, and appliances of every kind and nature whatsoever, and regardless of whether the same may now or hereafter be attached or affixed to the Land or Improvements, including, without limitation, all electrical, antipollution, heating, lighting, incinerating, power, air conditioning, plumbing, lifting, cleaning, fire prevention, fire extinguishing, refrigerating, ventilating and communication machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, appliances, and all engines, pipes, pumps, tanks, motors, conduits, ducts, compressors, elevators and escalators, and all articles of personal property and goods of every kind and nature whatsoever, including all shades, awnings and carpets now or hereafter affixed to, attached to, placed upon, or used or usable in any way in connection with the use, enjoyment, occupancy or operation of the Land or Improvements (collectively, the “Equipment”);

          (e) All rents, issues and profits arising or issuing from the Land and the Improvements (the “Rents”) including the Rents arising or issuing from all leases, licenses, subleases or any other use or

occupancy agreement now or hereafter entered into covering all or any part of the Land and Improvements (the “Leases”), all of which Leases and Rents are hereby assigned to the Mortgagee by the Mortgagor. The foregoing assignment shall include all fees, charges, accounts or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in hotels, motels, or other lodging properties, and all cash or securities deposited under Leases to secure performance of lessees of their obligations thereunder, whether such cash or securities are to be held until the expiration of the terms of such leases or applied to one or more installments of rent coming due prior to the expiration of such terms. The foregoing assignment extends to Rents arising both before and after the commencement by or against the Mortgagor of any case or proceeding under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, and is intended as an absolute assignment and not merely the granting of a security interest. The Mortgagor, however, shall have a license to collect retain and use the Rents so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee, on demand, such additional assignments and instruments as the Mortgagee may require to implement, confirm, maintain and continue the assignment of Rents hereunder;

          (f) All proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any of the foregoing into cash or liquidated claims;

          (g) to the extent assignable, all Mortgagor’s rights and interests in all agreements now or hereafter in existence providing for or relating to the construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, operation or management of the Property or any part thereof, as well as the plans and specifications therefor, and all copies thereof (together with the right to amend or terminate the same or waive the provisions of the foregoing) and any amendments, renewals and replacements thereof; to the extent permitted by the relevant authorities, all licenses, permits and approvals, and development and use rights for the ownership, construction, maintenance, operation, use and occupancy of the Property or any part thereof and any amendments, renewals and replacements thereof; all of Mortgagor’s rights and interests in all warranties and guaranties from contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers to the maximum extent permissible relating to the Property or any part thereof; all insurance policies covering or affecting the Property or any part thereof; and

          (h) Without limiting any of the other provisions of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor, as debtor, expressly grants unto the Mortgagee, as secured party, a security interest in all personal property of the Mortgagor, including the following, all whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located: (i) accounts; (ii) securities entitlements, securities accounts, commodity accounts, commodity contracts and investment property; (iii) deposit accounts; (iv) instruments (including promissory notes); (v) documents (including warehouse receipts); (vi) chattel paper (including electronic chattel paper and tangible chattel paper); (vii) inventory, including raw materials, work in process, or materials used or consumed in Mortgagor’s business, items held for sale or lease or furnished or to be furnished under contracts of service, sale or lease, goods that are returned, reclaimed or repossessed; (viii) goods of every nature, including stock-in-trade, goods on consignment, standing timber that is to be cut and removed under a conveyance or contract for sale, the unborn young of animals, crops grown, growing, or to be grown, manufactured homes, computer programs embedded in such goods and farm products; (ix) equipment, including machinery, vehicles and furniture; (x) fixtures; (xi) agricultural liens; (xii) as-extracted collateral; (xiii) letter of credit rights; (xiv) general intangibles, of every kind and description, including payment intangibles, software, computer information, source codes, object codes, records and data, all existing and future customer lists, choses in action, claims (including claims for indemnification or breach of warranty), books, records, patents and patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, tradenames, tradestyles, trademark applications, goodwill, blueprints, drawings, designs and plans, trade secrets, contracts, licenses, license agreements, formulae, tax and any other types of refunds, returned and unearned insurance premiums, rights and claims under insurance policies; (xv) all rights of payment of money (including all earnest money sales deposits); (xvi) all contracts for the sale of all or any part of the Property; (xvii) all supporting obligations of all of the foregoing property; (xviii) all property of the Mortgagor now or hereafter in the Mortgagee’s possession or in transit to or from, or under the custody or control of, the Mortgagee or any affiliate thereof; (xix) all cash and cash equivalents thereof; and (xx) all cash and noncash proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of all of the foregoing property, all products thereof and all additions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and replacements thereof. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee on demand such financing statements and other instruments as the Mortgagee may require in order to

perfect, protect and maintain such security interest under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) on the aforesaid collateral.

          To have and to hold the same unto the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, forever.

          Provided, however, that if the Mortgagor shall fully pay to the Mortgagee and satisfy and discharge the Secured Obligations, and if the Mortgagor shall keep and perform each of its other covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, then, upon the termination of all obligations, duties and commitments of the Mortgagor under the Secured Obligations and this Mortgage, and subject to the provisions of the paragraph entitled “Survival; Successors and Assigns” hereof, the estate hereby granted and conveyed shall become null and void.

          This Mortgage is an “Open-End Mortgage” as set forth in 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 and secures obligations up to a maximum principal amount of indebtedness outstanding at any time equal to double the aggregate face amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including advances for the payment of taxes and municipal assessments, maintenance charges, insurance premiums, costs incurred for the protection of the Property or the lien of this Mortgage, expenses incurred by the Mortgagee by reason of a default or Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage and advances for the construction, alteration or renovation on the Property or for any other purpose, together with all other sums due hereunder or secured hereby. All notices to be given to the Mortgagee pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 shall be given as set forth in Section 62 hereof.

          52. Representations and Warranties. The Mortgagor represents and warrants to the Mortgagee that (i) the Mortgagor has good and marketable title to an estate in fee simple absolute in the Land and Improvements and has all right, title and interest in all other property constituting a part of the Property; (ii) its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, chief executive office, tax identification number and entity identification number (to the extent Mortgagor’s state of organization assigns an entity identification number) are true and complete as set forth on the cover page of this Mortgage; (iii) this Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Property (subject only to any applicable Limited Permitted Liens) and (iv) the Mortgagee shall, subject to the Mortgagor’s right of possession prior to an Event of Default, quietly enjoy and possess the Property. The Mortgagor shall preserve such title as it warrants herein and the validity and priority of the lien hereof and shall forever warrant and defend the same to the Mortgagee against the claims of all persons (other than the holders of Limited Permitted Liens).

          53. Affirmative Covenants. Until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully paid, satisfied and discharged or this Mortgage shall otherwise be terminated by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall:

                53.1 pay or perform, or cause to be paid and performed, all Secured Obligations when due as provided in the Loan Documents;

                53.2 use and permit others to use the Property only for its present use and such other uses as permitted by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, applicable Legal Requirements, and any other uses approved in writing by the Mortgagee;

                53.3 upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagee an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance policies required pursuant to Section 7.1.3 of the Credit Agreement and all items which at any time may be or become a lien upon the Property, including without limitation any taxes, assessments, or government charges payable with respect to the Property (each an “Imposition”) pursuant to Section 7.1.2 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Escrow Charges”);

               53.4 in the event any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Secured Obligations from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, the Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any; and

               53.5 endeavor to notify the Mortgagee promptly upon Mortgagor obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings with respect to the Property for condemnation, rezoning, revocation of permits, levy, seizure, attachment, or forfeiture, or any other material and adverse matter pursuant to which the value of the Property could be significantly impaired; provided, however, in no event shall any failure by Mortgagor to notify Mortgagee of any such proceedings constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document.

No amount paid to the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof shall be deemed to be trust funds, nor shall any such sums paid bear interest. The Mortgagee shall have no obligation to pay any insurance premium or Imposition if at any time the funds being held by the Mortgagee for such premium or Imposition are insufficient to make such payments. If, at any time, the funds being held by the Mortgagee for any insurance premium or Imposition are exhausted, or if the Mortgagee determines, in its sole discretion, that such funds will be insufficient to pay in full any insurance premium or other such amount when due, the Mortgagor shall promptly pay to the Mortgagee, upon demand, an amount which the Mortgagee shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Mortgagee shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so held against the Secured Obligations due and payable in the order set forth in Section 8.2.5 of the Credit Agreement, and the Mortgagor hereby grants to the Mortgagee a lien upon and security interest in such amounts for such purpose.

          54. Negative Covenants. Until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully paid, satisfied and discharged or this Mortgage shall otherwise be terminated by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall not:

               54.1 execute an assignment or pledge of the Rents or the Leases other than in favor of the Mortgagee, accept any prepayment of an installment of any Rents prior to the due date of such installment; or enter into or amend any of the terms of any of the Leases without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, or enter into any leases or subleases of all or any part of the Property without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, and any such leases or subleases shall be subordinated to this Mortgage and to the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder and under the Credit Agreement and, together with any and all rents, issues or profits relating to such lease or sublease, shall be assigned to Mortgagee at the time of execution of such lease or sublease as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations, all in such form, substance and detail as is satisfactory to the Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion;

               54.2 except as otherwise permitted by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, sell, convey or otherwise transfer any interest in the Property (whether voluntarily or by operation of law), or agree to do so, without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, except in favor of the Mortgagee;

               54.3 take or permit any action with respect to the Property which will in any manner impair the security of this Mortgage or the use of the Property; and

               54.4 shall not at any time deliver, cause to be delivered, or permit any other Loan Party to deliver to the Mortgagee a notice pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 (or any successor or similar law, rule or regulation) electing to limit the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

          55. Inspection of Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the right to enter the Property at any reasonable hour for the purpose of inspecting the order, condition and repair of the buildings and improvements erected thereon, as well as the conduct of operations and activities on the Property. In any such case, the Mortgagee may enter the Property (and cause the Mortgagee’s employees, agents and consultants to enter the Property), upon prior written notice to the Mortgagor, to conduct any and all environmental testing deemed appropriate by the Mortgagee in its sole discretion. Any environmental testing shall be accomplished by whatever means the Mortgagee may deem appropriate, including the taking of soil samples and the installation of ground water monitoring wells or other intrusive environmental tests, and the Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee (and the Mortgagee’s employees, agents and consultants) reasonable rights of access to the Property as well as such information about the Property and the past or present conduct of operations and activities thereon as the Mortgagee shall reasonably request.

          56. Events of Default. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in any Loan Document) shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

          57. Rights and Remedies of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default occurs, the Mortgagee may, at its option and without demand, notice or delay, do one or more of the following:

               57.1 exercise its remedies under the Credit Agreement;

               57.2 institute and maintain (i) an action of mortgage foreclosure against the Property and the interests of the Mortgagor therein, (ii) institute and maintain an action on any instruments evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow, and in each such action described in this Section 6(b) the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all costs of suit and attorneys fees;

               57.3 with respect to any lease or sublease of the Property, (i) collect any or all of the Rents, including any Rents past due and unpaid, (ii) perform any obligation or exercise any right or remedy of the Mortgagor under any Lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the Property.

The Mortgagee may exercise any right under this Section 6, whether or not the Mortgagee shall have entered into possession of any of the Property, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting the Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession”, unless the Mortgagee shall have entered into and shall continue to be in actual possession of the Property. The Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs each and every present and future tenant of any of the Property to pay all Rents directly to the Mortgagee and to perform all other obligations of that tenant for the direct benefit of the Mortgagee, as if the Mortgagee were the landlord under the Lease with that tenant, immediately upon receipt of a demand by the Mortgagee to make such payment or perform such obligations. The Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand it may now or hereafter have against any such tenant by reason of such payment of Rents or performance of obligations to the Mortgagee, and any such payment or performance to the Mortgagee shall discharge the obligations of the tenant to make such payment or performance to the Mortgagor.

The Mortgagee shall have the right, in connection with the exercise of its remedies hereunder, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession and control of the Property or to collect the Rents, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the Property to secure the Secured Obligations. A receiver while in possession of the Property shall have the right to make repairs and to make improvements necessary or advisable in its or his opinion to preserve the Property, or to make and keep them rentable to the best advantage, and the Mortgagee may advance moneys to a receiver for such purposes. Any moneys so expended or advanced by the Mortgagee or by a receiver shall be added to and become a part of the Secured Obligations secured by this Mortgage.

          58. Application of Proceeds. The Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any foreclosure sale of, or other disposition or realization upon, or Rents or profits from, the Property in the manner set forth in Section 8.2.5 of the Credit Agreement.

          59. Mortgagee’s Right to Protect Security. The Mortgagee is hereby authorized to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the Mortgagee’s rights or powers hereunder. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee is authorized to do any one or more of the following (x) purchase such insurance policies covering the Property as it may elect if the Mortgagor fails to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder; and (y) take such action as the Mortgagee may determine to pay, perform or comply with any Impositions or Legal Requirements, to cure any Events of Default and to protect its security in the Property.

          60. Appointment of Mortgagee as Attorney-in-Fact. The Mortgagee, or any of its officers, is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for the Mortgagor (without requiring any of them to act as such), such appointment being coupled with an interest, and Mortgagee is hereby authorized by Mortgagor to do any or all of the following, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement: (a) collect the Rents; and (b) execute, deliver and file, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense such financing, continuation or amendment statements and other instruments as the Mortgagee may require in order to perfect, protect and maintain its security interest under the UCC on any portion of the Property.

          61. Certain Waivers. The Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all benefit that might accrue to the Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment or any rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property, and, unless specifically required herein, all notices of the Mortgagor’s default or of the Mortgagee’s election to exercise, or the Mortgagee’s actual exercise of any option under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document.

          62.Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement and may be sent to a party’s address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this section.

          63. Security Agreement/Fixture Filing.

               63.1 This Mortgage is a Security Agreement as defined in the UCC. Notwithstanding the filing of any financing statement covering any of the Mortgaged Property in the records normally pertaining to personal property, at Mortgagee’s option all of the Property, for all purposes and in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be regarded (to the extent permitted by law) as part of the Land, whether or not any such item is physically attached to the Land or Improvements. The mention in any such financing statement of any of the Property shall not be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Mortgagee or adversely affecting the priority of the lien granted hereby or by the Credit Agreement, but such mention in the financing statement is hereby declared to be for the protection of Mortgagee in the event any court shall at any time hold that notice of Mortgagee’s priority of interest, to be effective against any third party, must be filed in the UCC records.

               63.2 Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee such documents, instruments and further assurances, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, as Mortgagee may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee’s security interest hereunder. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes Mortgagee to cause financing statements (and amendments thereto and continuations thereof) and any such documents, instruments and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that its jurisdiction of organization is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

               63.3 This Mortgage shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures related to the Property. The information in this section is provided so that this Mortgage shall comply with the requirements of the UCC for a mortgage instrument to be filed as a financing statement. Mortgagor is the “Debtor” and its name and mailing address are set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage. Mortgagee is the “Secured Party” and its name and mailing address from which information concerning the security interest granted

herein may be obtained are also set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage. A statement describing the portion of the Property comprising the fixtures hereby secured is set forth in the definition of the Secured Obligations. Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that Mortgagor is the record owner of the applicable fee title or owner of the leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property. The employer identification number of Mortgagor, and its organizational identification number, are set forth on the cover sheet to this Mortgage.

          64. Further Acts. The Mortgagor will, at the cost of the Mortgagor and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall, from time to time, require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring or confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intent of or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage. The Mortgagor grants to the Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, at law or in equity.

          65. Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to any Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, the Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

          66. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission on the Mortgagee’s part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Mortgagee’s action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Mortgagee’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Mortgagee may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.

          67. Illegality. If any provision contained in this Mortgage should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.

          68. Changes in Writing.

          81. Other Rights With Respect to Pledged Collateral.

          In addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the Secured Party hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party, at its option and at the expense of the Pledgors, may (a) transfer into its own name, or into the name of its nominee, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, thereafter receiving all dividends, income or other distributions upon the Pledged Collateral; (b) take control of and manage all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) apply to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether any be due and payable or not, any moneys, including cash dividends and income from any Pledged Collateral, now or hereafter in the hands of the Secured Party or any Affiliate of the Secured Party, on deposit or otherwise, belonging to any Pledgor, as the Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; and (d) do anything which any Pledgor is required but fails to do hereunder. The Secured Party shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

          82. Additional Remedies Upon Event of Default.

          Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Secured Party shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable Law, and in addition to its rights under Section 6 above and under the other Loan Documents, the following rights and remedies:

          82.1 The Secured Party may, after ten (10) days’ advance notice to a Pledgor, sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales of the Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests, investment property or ownership interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether or not all the same be then due and payable, as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          83. Secured Party’s Duties.

          The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.

          84. Additional Pledgors.

          It is anticipated that additional persons may from time to time become Subsidiaries of the Borrower or a Guarantor, each of whom will be required to join this Agreement as a Pledgor hereunder to the extent that such new Subsidiary owns equity interests in any other Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary. It is acknowledged and agreed that such new Subsidiaries of the Borrower or of a Guarantor may become Pledgors hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to Secured Party a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(2) to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

          85. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

          No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law, rule or regulation and the Secured Party may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the Secured Party’s power.

Waivers.

          Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all defenses which any Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding Section hereof.

          Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor or the Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or the Borrower, or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Secured Party or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any such acceptance; and

          Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws, or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Secured Party (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Secured Party to seek a deficiency against the Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.

          86. Assignment.

          All rights of the Secured Party under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All obligations of each Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

          87. Severability.

          Any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement which shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or portions thereof).

          88. Governing Law.

          This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

          89. Notices.

          All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”) given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as set forth in Section 10.6 [Notices] of the Credit Agreement, and the Pledgors (in their capacity as Pledgors and in their capacity as Companies) shall simultaneously send to the Secured Party any notices such Pledgor or such Company delivers to each other regarding any of the Pledged Collateral.

          90. Specific Performance.

          Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Secured Party’s remedies at law for failure of any Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the Secured Party’s rights (i) to inspect the books and records related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications any Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to which any Pledgor has appointed the Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, and (v) to enforce the Secured Party’s remedies

hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be specifically enforced.

          91. Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

                    So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of any Pledged Collateral. At any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise any of its respective voting and other consensual rights whatsoever pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; provided, however, in addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the Secured Party, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights of each and every Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The Secured Party shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise by Secured Party of the voting or other consensual rights of such Pledgor pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of Secured Party’s rights or remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition thereto, Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Company to: (i) issue any other ownership interests of any nature or to issue any other securities, investment property or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any other ownership interests of any nature of any such Company, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement; or (ii) to enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral without the Secured Party’s prior written consent.

          92. Consent to Jurisdiction.

          Each Pledgor (as a Pledgor and as a Company) and each of the Companies (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any successor to said court (hereinafter referred to as the “New York Courts”) for purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding which relates to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or any Loan Document may not be enforced in or by the New York Courts, (iii) hereby agrees not to seek, and hereby waives, any collateral review by any other court, which may be called upon to enforce the judgment of any of the New York Courts, of the merits of any such suit, action or proceeding or the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, and (iv) waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail addressed as provided in Section 16 hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. Nothing herein shall limit any Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or other proceeding against any Pledgor or any of any Pledgor’s assets or to serve process on any Pledgor by any means authorized by Law.

          93. Waiver of Jury Trial.

          EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR (AS A PLEDGOR AND AS A COMPANY), EACH OF THE COMPANIES AND THE SECURED PARTY, ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.

          94. Entire Agreement; Additional Pledgors; Amendments.

          94.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor to the Secured Party.

          94.2 At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Secured Party and the Lenders, additional Persons may become parties to this Agreement and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Pledgors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Secured Party and the Lenders a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-exiting Pledgor and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

          94.3 Except as expressly provided in Section 5(d) with respect to certificated securities issued by Companies that are limited liability companies or limited partnerships, in Section 9 with respect to additional Pledgors, and in Section 21 with respect to the release of Pledgors and Companies, this Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by the Secured Party and the Pledgors.

          95. Automatic Release of Related Collateral and Equity.

          At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Secured Party and the Lenders, Pledgors and Companies may be released from this (i) Agreement pursuant to Section 2.11.1 [Release of Guarantors] of the Credit Agreement and (ii) their respective duties and rights as Pledgors and/or Companies, hereunder and the corresponding Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor or issued by such Company, as the case may be, shall be released pursuant to Section 2.11.5 of the Credit Agreement. No notice of such release of any Pledgor or any Company shall be required to be given to any other Pledgor and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

          96. Counterparts; Telecopy Signatures.

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or electronic (i.e., “e-mail” or “portable document folio” (“pdf”)) transmission to the Secured Party or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.

          97. Construction.

          The rules of construction contained in Section 1.2 [Construction] of the Credit Agreement apply to this Agreement.

FORM OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

	East Brunswick, New Jersey
$__________	March 7, 2008

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, K. HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES, INC., a California corporation (herein called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ___________________________ (the “Lender”) the lesser of (i) the principal sum of ___________________________ U.S. Dollars (U.S. $________________), and (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 7, 2008 among the Borrower, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., as a Guarantor, the other Lenders now or hereafter party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”) and the Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), payable on the Expiration Date.

          The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from the date hereof at the rate or rates per annum specified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1 of, or as otherwise provided in, the Credit Agreement.

          To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.10, 8.1.13 and/or 8.1.14 of the Credit Agreement, or the Obligations are accelerated under the Credit Agreement, and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, the Borrower shall pay interest on all past due principal and all past due accrued interest thereon and fees and expenses and each other past due Obligation at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional three hundred basis points (3.0% per annum) from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full (the “Default Rate”).

          Interest on this Revolving Credit Note will be payable as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          If any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder shall be stated to be or become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day (or the prior Business Day in respect of certain Revolving Credit Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

          Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, payments of both principal and interest shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature at the Principal Office of the Agent, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.

          This Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, security interests or liens contained or granted therein. The Credit Agreement among other things contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayment, in certain circumstances, on account of principal hereof prior to maturity upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

          All capitalized terms used herein shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the same meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

          Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Credit Agreement.

          This Note shall bind the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns. All references herein to the “Borrower”, the “Lender” and the “Agent” shall be deemed to apply to the Borrower, the Lender and the Agent, respectively, and their respective successors and assigns.

          This Note replaces and supersedes the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note dated May 31, 2006, in the principal amount of $______________, (the “Prior Note”). To the extent that the principal balance of this Note includes the Borrower’s indebtedness hitherto evidenced by the Prior Note, this Note (i) merely re-evidences the indebtedness hitherto evidenced by the Prior Note, (ii) is given as substitution for, and not as payment of, the Prior Note, and (iii) is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Prior Note. The Borrower hereby agrees that this Note shall in all respects take the place of and include the principal amount of the Prior Note.

          This Note and any other documents delivered in connection herewith and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance, with the law of the State of New York.

          101.1 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

                    101.1.1 Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest to the extent required by this Agreement having at least the priority described in Section 3.2 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than, in the case of Collateral other than the Cash Collateral, the Deposit Account and the Securities Account, any holder of Permitted Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement, subject to the rights of such Grantor under the Loan Documents to dispose of the Collateral.

If requested by the Borrower, the Agent will, from time to time, invest amounts on deposit in the Securities Account in Cash Equivalents pursuant to the written instructions of the Borrower. All investments shall be made in the name of the Agent or a nominee of the Agent and in a manner that preserves the Borrower’s ownership of, and the Agent’s perfected first priority Lien on, such investments. All income received from such investments shall accrue for the benefit of the Borrower (subject to application of Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) and shall be credited (immediately upon receipt by the Agent) to the Securities Account. The Agent will only make investments in which it can obtain a first-priority, perfected security interest, and the Borrower hereby agrees to execute promptly any documents which the Agent may reasonably require the Borrower to execute any documents to implement or effectuate the provisions of this Section.

          102.2 Liability. The Agent shall have no responsibility to the Borrower for any loss or liability arising in respect of the investments of the Cash Collateral (including, without limitation, as a result of the liquidation of any thereof before maturity), except to the extent that such loss or liability is found to be based on the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

103. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

         103.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

                    103.1.1 At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. The Agent shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of such verifications, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of such remedy or the Agent’s rights hereunder.

                    103.1.2 Subject to Section 7.2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables and the Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Agent shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder. If requested in writing by the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Agent for the account of the Lenders only as provided in Section 6.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.

                    103.1.3 At the Agent’s written request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables that are Collateral.

          103.2 Communications with Obligors: Grantors Remain Liable.

                    103.2.1 The Agent in its own name or in the name of others may after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables that are Collateral to verify with them to the Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables. The Agent shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

                    103.2.2 Upon the written request of the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that are Collateral that the Receivables have been assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Agent.

                    103.2.3 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables that are Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the

payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

          103.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Agent. In addition to the rights of the Agent and the Lenders specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon written request from the Agent, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent, if requested). All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All such Proceeds while held by the Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4.

          103.4 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Agent’s election, the Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral, whether or not held in the Deposit Account, the Securities Account or any other Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 8.2.5 of the Credit Agreement.

          103.5 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without prior demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any prior notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of remedies in the proceeding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of such remedies or the Agent’s rights hereunder. The Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all

claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any prior notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

          103.6 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, all Indebtedness owing to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

          103.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

                    (iv) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

                    The Agent shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights in the preceding clause (a), provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.

                    104.1.2 If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

                    104.1.3 The expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with, if past due, interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, from the date when due to the Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Agent upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice.

                    104.1.4 Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

          104.2 Duty of Agent. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          104.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Agent under this Agreement.

          104.4 Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or

resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and the Grantors, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

          105.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

                    105.12.3 no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Lenders;
