D. Additional Findings and Conclusions.
i. All Debtors are Borrowers. The entirety of Debtors' property and assets,
including without limitation all interests in real property, including without limitation the real
property identified in the Preliminary Report [Docket No. 425], personal property, tangible
and intangible property, claims and causes of action, property that is known to exist, or
unknown and proceed and products of all of the foregoing, comprises the DIP Collateral (the
"DIP Collateral"). The capital structure of the Project and the DIP Collateral, including a list
of those creditors with a secured interest in the DIP Collateral, including without limitation
those secured creditors identified in the Preliminary Report [Docket No. 425] (collectively,
the "Prepetition Secured Creditors"),4 is more fully laid out in the Green Declarations and
in the Debtors' Bankruptcy Schedules and Statements of Financial Affairs, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference. Those amounts owed to the Prepetition Secured Creditors
shall be referred to herein as the "Prepetition Secured Obligations."6
a For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein (including the definition of Prepetition Secured Parties) shall grant
adequate protection to any liens or claims held by any party subject to or as identified in the Motion of the Debtors
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, Local Rule 9013-1 and 11 U.S.C. § ' 105(a) and 363(b) Authorizing and Approving

Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 5 of 22
ii. The DIP Lender provided the Interim DIP Credit Facility pursuant to the
interim DIP orders [Docket Nos. 162, 188, 208, & 243] (the "Interim DIP Orders").
iii. The DIP Lender shall not be deemed to be a control person or insider
(as defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of any Debtor by virtue of providing
the DIP Credit Facility;
iv. the Prepetition Secured Creditors are entitled, pursuant to sections 361,
363(e) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, to adequate protection of their respective
interests in the DIP Collateral, solely to the extent of any diminution in the value of their
prepetition collateral occurring from and after the Petition Date (the "Diminution"), that may
be caused by or arising as a result of, among other things, the grant of a lien under section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code.
E. Findings Regarding the DIP Credit Facility.
(i)
Need for the DIP Credit Facility. Debtors need to obtain funds to,
among other things, maintain their real estate, preserve the value of the Project opportunity,
pay administrative expenses during the pendency of these bankruptcy proceedings, hire a
broker to market and sell the Project opportunity, complete a thorough and robust sales
process, and confirm a Chapter 11 Plan for the benefit of all the constituencies of the estates.
The only choice of such funds is the DIP Credit Facility.
(ii) Priming of Any Prepetition Liens. Upon the entry of and subject to the
terms of the Order (all as expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto), the priming of any existing liens
on any of the DIP Collateral, as contemplated by the Term Sheet and as further described below,
is a condition to the Debtors' borrowings under the DIP Credit Facility, which borrowing is
necessary for the Debtors to be able to continue to complete a robust process for selling the Project
5
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 6 of 22
opportunity and reorganizing to maximize returns for all constituencies of the bankruptcy estates.
(iii) No Credit Available on More Favorable Terms. The Debtors have been
unable to obtain (a) unsecured credit allowable under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(1) as an
administrative expense, or (b) secured credit on more favorable terins and conditions than those
provided in the Term Sheet, DIP Documents, and this Order. The Debtors are unable to obtain
credit without granting to the DIP Lender the DIP Protections (as defined below).
F. Effect of Reversal; Good Faith. The DIP Lender has indicated a willingness to
provide financing to the Debtors in accordance with the Term Sheet, the MOU and this Order,
provided that the DIP Obligations, DIP Liens and other protections granted by this Order (all as
expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto) and the Term Sheet will not be affected by any subsequent
reversal or modification of this Order as provided in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The
DIP Lender has acted in good faith in agreeing to provide the DIP Credit Facility approved by this
Order.
G. Business Judgment and Good Faith Pursuant to Section 364(e).
(i) The terns and conditions of the DIP Credit Facility, the Term Sheet, DIP
Documents, Budget and the fees paid and to be paid thereunder are fair, reasonable, and the best
available under the circumstances, reflect the Debtors' exercise of prudent business judgment, and
are supported by reasonably equivalent value and consideration;
(ii) the Tenn Sheet and DIP Documents were negotiated in good faith and at
anus' length between the Debtors and the DIP Lender; and
(iii) the DIP Credit Facility loan proceeds to be obtained pursuant to the Tenn
Sheet and DIP Documents will be advanced in good faith, and for valid business purposes and
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 7 of 22
uses, as a consequence of which the DIP Lender is entitled to the protection and benefits of section
364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
H. Prepetition Secured Creditors Have Consented to the DIP Credit Facility. All
Prepetition Secured Creditors have consented to Debtors borrowing from the DIP Credit Facility
pursuant to the Term Sheet and DIP Documents, including the priming limitations and other terms
set forth in this Order and on Exhibit 3 hereto.
I. Stipulation Regarding Planning Area 7,8,9
i. The Debtors and the DIP Lender stipulate and agree that disproportionate
amount of priming with respect to Planning Area 7,8,9 (as defined on Exhibit 3) (when compared
to the percentage of these parcels to the estates' total parcels' in both size and value) is appropriate
because, among other reasons: (a) Planning Area 7,8,9 is comprised of some of the most valuable
parcels included in the DIP Collateral; (b) there exists a substantial equity cushion in favor of the
holder of the first deed of trust on the parcels comprising Planning Area 7,8,9, even taking into
account the DIP Lender's $7 million priming lien; and (c) the equity cushion in favor of the holder
of the first deed of trust on the Planning Area 7,8,9 parcels is greater than the aggregate equity
cushion, if any, of the holders of the first trust deeds on the estates' other parcels combined.
J. Immediate Entry of Order. The Debtors have requested immediate entry of this
Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(2) and Local Rule 4001-2(b). The permission granted
herein for the Debtors to obtain postpetition financing from the DIP Lender pursuant to the Term
Sheet, to obtain funds thereunder and to use the proceeds of this postpetition financing pursuant to
this Order is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors. Entry of this Order
is in the best interests of the Debtors' respective estates and creditors as its implementation will,
among other things, allow for access to the financing necessary for the continued administration
7
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 8 of 22
of Debtors' estates, preservation of Debtors' real estate and the Project opportunity, enhancement
of the Debtors' prospects for a successful sale of substantially all of their assets, and confirmation
of a successful Chapter 11 plan. Based upon the foregoing findings, acknowledgements, and
conclusions, and upon the record made before this Court at the hearing on the Motion (the
"Ilearing"), and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor;
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, and upon
consideration of the Motion and the record made before this Court with respect to the Motion,
including the record created during the Hearing, and with the consent of the Debtors and the DIP
Lender to the form and entry of this Order, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor, and
the Court being otherwise fully advised in the premises;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED TIIAT:
1. Motion Granted. The Motion is GRANTED in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Order (all as expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto), Term Sheet, MOU,
and DIP Documents. Any objections to the Motion with respect to entry of this Order to the extent
not withdrawn, waived or otherwise resolved, and all reservations of rights included therein, are
hereby denied and overruled on the merits.
2. The Term Sheet, MOU and the DIP Documents.
(a) Approval of Entry into the Term Sheet and DIP Documents. The
Debtors are authorized to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the Term Sheet
(including the MOU), the DIP Documents and to incur and to perform the DIP Obligations in

hereto), and to execute and deliver all instruments and documents which may be required or
necessary for the performance by the Debtors under the Term Sheet, subject to the priming
8
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 9 of 22
limitations and other conditions set forth on Exhibit 3 hereto. The Debtors are hereby authorized
to do and perform all acts, pay the principal, interest, fees, expenses, and other amounts described
in the Tenn Sheet and all other DIP Documents as such become due, subject to the priming
limitations and other conditions set forth on Exhibit 3 hereto. The form and substance of both the
Term Sheet and DIP Documents are hereby approved. The Debtors and the DIP Lender are hereby
authorized to modify the DIP Documents, and such shall be deemed approved by this Order
provided they do not materially alter the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Facility or the
priming limitations or other conditions set forth on Exhibit 3 hereto.
(b) Enforceable Obligations. The Term Sheet shall constitute and evidence
the valid and binding obligations of the Debtors, which obligations shall be enforceable jointly and
severally against the Debtors, their estates and any successors thereto, any subsequently appointed
trustee, parties in interest, and the Debtors' creditors or representatives thereof, in accordance with
their terms.
(c) Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Order, the DIP Lender's
commitments under the Term Sheet and the DIP Documents shall continue until the first to occur
of (a) December 15, 2025; (b) occurrence of an Event of Default; or (c) the Maturity Date (the
"Commitment Termination Date"); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an event
that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would become an Event of Default (a
"Default"), the funding commitment shall be suspended unless and until Borrowers have cured
such Default. For the avoidance of doubt, none of (i) a Default, (ii) an Event of Default, or (iii) a
termination in accordance with this Paragraph 2(c) shall affect the priming limitations or other
conditions set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto, which shall remain in full force and effect.
9
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 10 of 22
(d) Protection of the DIP Lender and Other Rights. The Debtors shall use
the proceeds of the DIP Credit Facility only for the purposes specifically set forth in the Term
Sheet, the DIP Documents, and this Order and in strict compliance with the Budget subject to
permitted variances (at a 10% level) determined on the basis of aggregate cash disbursements (the
"Permitted Variances"). The Debtors shall inform the DIP Lender promptly of any disbursement
made based on Permitted Variances. Any adjustments to the Budget (other than the Permitted
Variances) shall be approved by the DIP, for which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
provided that the adjustment does not cause the total Budget to exceed the maximum amount of
the Funding Cap. The Debtors are hereby bound by, and shall comply with, the terms, conditions,
covenants and obligations set forth in the Term Sheet and the MOU, all of which are incorporated
herein by reference.
3. The DIP Lien Priority.
(a) To secure the DIP Obligations, the DIP Lender is hereby granted pursuant
to and in accordance with 364(c)(1), and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, valid, enforceable and
fully perfected lien in the DIP Collateral comprising all of Debtors' assets (the "DIP Liens"),7
subject in all respects to the Carve -Out;
(b) The DIP Liens shall be effective immediately upon the entry of this Order,
and, except to the extent expressly provided in Exhibit 3, the DIP Liens shall be senior to, and not
at any time be made subject or subordinated to, or made pari passu with, any other lien, security
interest or claim existing as of the Petition Date or created thereafter, other than the Carve -Out;
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the scope of the DIP Liens includes certain property known
as "PA 9," which purportedly is (or was) subject to a 42.8°o tenant in common interest in favor of SilverRock Land
II, LLC, an entity owned by the Traub Family Revocable Trust.
10
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 11 of 22
(c) The DIP Liens shall be and hereby are deemed fully perfected liens and
security interests, effective and perfected upon the date of the Order, without the necessity of
execution by the Debtors of mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing
agreements, financing statements, account control agreements or any other agreements, filings or
instruments, such that no additional actions need be taken by the DIP Lender or any other party
(including, without limitation, any depository bank or securities intermediary) to perfect such
interests, but may be secured of record by a deed of trust executed by the Debtors against the DIP
Collateral that is real property in favor of the DIP Lender.
(d) At all times prior to indefeasible payment in cash in full of the DIP
Obligations, the priority of the DIP Liens will:
i. Pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code, be perfected first priority, senior priming
liens on all DIP Collateral (except to the extent
expressly provided in Exhibit 3);
ii. Be valid and enforceable against any trustee
appointed in the Cases, upon the conversion of
any of the Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code (a "Successor Case"), or upon
the dismissal of the any of the Cases or Successor
Case; and
4. Superpriority Administrative Claim. The DIP Lender is hereby granted an
allowed superpriority administrative expense claim (the "DIP Superpriority Claim", together
with the DIP Liens, the "DIP Protections") pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code
in each of the Cases and in any Successor Case(s) for all DIP Obligations, having priority over any
and all other claims against the Debtors, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever,
but subject in all respects to the Carve -Out, including, without limitation, and to the extent
authorized by the Bankruptcy Code, all administrative expenses of the kinds specified in or arising
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 12 of 22
or ordered under sections 105(a), 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(a), 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c)
, 546(d), 726, 1113, and 1114 and any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise,
whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-
consensual lien, levy or attachment, which allowed DIP Superpriority Claim shall be payable from
and have recourse to all pre- and post -petition property of the Debtors and all proceeds thereof.
The DIP Superpriority Claim shall be subject and subordinate in priority of payment only to prior
payment of the Carve -Out. The DIP Superpriority Claim shall be senior in all respects to any
superpriority claims granted in these Cases, if any.
5. Authorization to Use Proceeds of the DIP Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Order, the Term Sheet, and DIP Documents and in accordance with the
Budget and any variances thereto that may be permitted pursuant thereto or pursuant to the Term
Sheet or DIP Documents, the Debtors are authorized to use the postpetition financing proceeds
pursuant to the Term Sheet, DIP Documents and Budget.
6. Authorization and Direction for Payment of DIP Financing Fees and Expenses.
The Debtors are hereby authorized to pay such fees, costs, and expenses in accordance with the
Term Sheet, the DIP Documents, and this Order (all as expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto),
without any requirement that the Debtors, the DIP Lender or their respective attorneys file any
further application or other pleading, notice, or document with the Court for approval or payment
of such fees, costs or expenses.

and subordinate to the payment of: (a) fees payable to the United States Trustee pursuant to 28
U.S.C. Section 1930(a)(6), together with the statutory rate of interest, which shall not be limited
12

by any budget ("Statutory Fees"); (b) fees payable to the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court; (c) to the
extent expenses are incurred prior to the Carve -Out Trigger: (i) allowed fees and expenses incurred
by the Independent Manager in the amount set forth in the Budget, not exceeding $60,000.00 per
month plus reasonable expenses; (ii) allowed fees and costs of defense with respect to
indemnification obligations owed by Debtors to the Independent Manager; provided, however, that
this carve out shall apply solely to the extent such fees and costs exceed the amount of coverage
required to be provided by D&O (Directors and Officers) insurance; (iii) allowed fees and costs
plus the payment of the Independent Manager's allowed legal fees and expenses in connection
with the Chapter 11 Cases; (iv) allowed fees and expenses incurred by the CRO up to the maximum
amount set forth in the Budget, subject to the Term Sheet's Permitted Variances; (v) allowed fees
and expenses incurred by Debtors' other court approved professionals up to the maximum
aggregate amount set forth in the Budget, subject to the Term Sheet's Permitted Variances; and (vi)
up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of (a) $400,000, or (b) amounts remaining available
under the Budget (without reference to the Carve -Out Trigger, as that phrase is defined by the Term
Sheet) for unpaid documented fees, costs and expenses accrued or incurred by the Independent
Manager and other retained professionals following the occurrence of the Carve -Out Trigger,
payable under sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code and subsequently allowed by order
of the Bankruptcy Court (collectively, the "Carve -Out"). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the amounts of each carve out set forth above shall be reduced by the amounts
paid from the DIP Facility (whether pursuant to the Interim Orders or this Order) to or for the
benefit of the holder of each such carve out; (2) except to the extent of the Post -Trigger Carve Out,
the carve outs shall be limited to fees and costs incurred prior to the first to occur of (i) the
Comrnitment Termination Date, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default; (3) no carve out
13
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 14 of 22
shall be available with respect to fees or expenses that are incurred with respect to matters that are
not a permitted use of the proceeds of the loans under the Facility, provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not limit the Debtors' obligations to pay Statutory Fees on all disbursements made
by or on behalf of the Debtors; (4) absent the City's express written agreement, the amount of the
carve outs set forth in the Budget (subject to Permitted Variances) shall not increase by virtue of
any extensions of time or increases in amounts as may be provided for in subsequent amendments
to the Budget; and (5) to the extent that any Permitted Variance, reallocation of funds, or other use
of funds reduces the amount of funds available under the Budget for the payment of fees or
expenses, the maximum amount of the Carve Out shall be reduced accordingly. For clarification
purposes, except (x) to the extent that the DIP Lender has not fully funded the DIP Credit Facility;
and (y) with respect to the Independent ?Manager's rights to indemnification under section 7(a)(ii)
above, the Carve Out shall be paid and satisfied solely from the funds advanced by the DIP Lender
as part of the DIP Credit Facility, and not from any other DIP Collateral or proceeds thereof.
b. "Carve -Out Trigger" shall mean upon delivery (by email or otherwise) by the City
of written notice to the Debtors, the Debtors' lead bankruptcy counsel, and the United States
Trustee of the occurrence of an Event of Default.
8. Payment of Compensation, Nothing herein shall be construed as consent to the
allowance of any professional fees or expenses of the Debtors or affect the right of any party
in interest to object to the allowance and payment of such fees and expenses.
9. Maturity Date. Unless otherwise agreed to by the DIP Lender, the maturity date
(the "Maturity Date") shall be the first to occur of:

Debtors' assets (the "Closing").

Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 16 of 22
(c) The DIP Lender's Liability for Collateral. So long as the DIP Lender
complies with reasonable commercial lending practices, the DIP Lender shall not in any way or
manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the DIP Collateral; (b) any loss or

in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding
agency, or other person whomsoever.

shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided by law, or in equity,
subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the priming limitations and other
conditions set forth on Exhibit 3 hereto. No exercise by the DIP Lender of one right or remedy
shall be deemed an election. No delay by the DIP Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or
acquiescence by it. No waiver by the DIP Lender shall be effective unless made in a written
document signed on behalf of the DIP Lender and then shall be effective only in the instance and
for the purpose for which it was given.
(e) Remedies. With respect to enforcement of remedies upon an Event of
Default, the DIP Lender shall provide a Carve -Out Trigger notice to the Borrowers and the U.S.
Trustee five (5) Business Days prior to taking any such action (the "Remedies Notice Period"),
and after the expiration of the Remedies Notice Period, the DIP Lender shall be authorized and
entitled to exercise all rights and remedies provided in the DIP Documents, the Term Sheet or this
Order (as applicable) and under applicable law. During the Remedies Notice Period (including as
extended pursuant to this subparagraph (e)), the Debtors may use cash in their operating account

16
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 17 of 22
purposes of funding the Carve Out. During the Remedies Notice Period, any party in interest shall
be entitled to seek an emergency hearing with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to stay the City's
exercise of any rights and remedies and funds in the operating account may be used for this
purpose; provided, however, that if an emergency hearing is requested to be heard before the end
of the Remedies Notice Period but is scheduled for a later date by the Court, then the Remedies
Notice Period shall be automatically extended until the Court issues an order or other ruling with
respect thereto.
(f) Relief From Automatic Stay. Upon the expiration of the Remedies Notice
Period, and except as the Court may otherwise order pursuant section 10(e) of this Order, and

without limitation, taking possession of DIP Collateral, foreclosure and sale of respect to DIP
collateral, application of proceeds from the disposition of DIP Collateral to amounts due under the
DIP Credit Facility, the Term Sheet, the DIP Documents or applicable non -bankruptcy law, to the
extent such disposition is consistent with the priming limitations and other conditions set forth on
Exhibit 3 hereto.

a superior or pari passu lien or claim with respect to the DIP Collateral pursuant to section
364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

(h) Indemnification. The Debtors, their bankruptcy estates, and the Debtors'
successors and assigns shall indemnify the DIP Lender for all claims and liability arising from or
in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, except to the extent of liability that is
determined by final order to result from the DIP Lender's intentional or willful misconduct or gross
negligence.
(i) Waivers. Subject to the terms of this Order, the Debtors, on behalf of
themselves, their successors or assigns, and any subsequently appointed trustee or fiduciary,
and the Debtors' creditors and equity holders who received actual notice of the DIP Motion,
hereby forever waive and release any and all rights to take any of the following actions, absent
the advance written consent of the DIP Lender: (1) to assert the "equities of the case"
exception in Bankruptcy Code Section 552(b); (2) to surcharge any of the DIP Collateral under
Bankruptcy Code Section 506(c); (3) to require marshalling by the DIP Lender with respect
to any of the DIP Collateral; (4) to seek or obtain entry of an order priming (under section

other property interests of the DIP Lender in any real or personal property of the Debtors
(including without limitation the DIP Lenders' repurchase options); (5) to sell, transfer, assign
or revest any of the DIP Collateral free and clear of any of the DIP Liens, or the prepetition
liens, security interest and/or other property interests of the DIP Lender in any real of personal
property of the Debtors (including without limitation the DIP Lenders' repurchase options);
and (6) to file or seek approval or confirmation of a motion or plan that would effectuate any
of the foregoing. Such waivers and releases shall survive repayment of the indebtedness and
satisfaction of other obligations under the DIP Credit Facility. The Debtors and the DIP
Lender hereby waive their respective rights to terminate the Term Sheet pursuant to Section
I
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 19 of 22
19 of the Tenn Sheet; provided, however, that this waiver shall not require that the DIP Lender
fund any advances upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or other failure of conditions
set forth in the Term Sheet or DIP Documents.
(j) Administrative Expense Claims. Until such time as all DIP
Obligations are paid in full and the Cases have been closed, subject in all respects to the Carve -
Out, the Debtors shall not in any way or at any time seek allowance of any administrative
expense claim against the Debtors of any kind or nature whatsoever, that is superior to or pari
passu with the DIP Lender's superpriority administrative expense claim against the
bankruptcy estates, as described more fully in the Term Sheet and this Order (the
"Superpriority Claim").
(k) Use of Proceeds of the DIP Credit Facility. Proceeds of the DIP Credit
Facility shall be used solely as permitted in the Term Sheet, this Order, and the Budget.
(1) Poppy Bank Backstop Indemnity. In the event that upon closing of a sale
of substantially all of the Debtors' property, the allowed claims (the "Allowed Poppy Claims") of
Poppy Bank ("Poppy") that are secured by liens on the property identified in paragraph 5 of
Exhibit 3 hereto (the "Poppy Collateral") are not paid in full, the DIP Lender shall indemnify
Poppy for its losses resulting solely from the granting and implementation of the priming lien in
favor of the DIP Lender on the Poppy Collateral. The maximum amount of the DIP Lender's
indemnity obligation shall be the lesser of (i) the priming cap set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto, and (ii)
the amount of the proceeds paid to the DIP Lender from the proceeds of sale of the Poppy
Collateral. The DIP Lender's obligation to make payment to Poppy pursuant to this indemnity
obligation shall arise upon the last to occur of (x) the closing of a sale of substantially all of the
Debtors' property, and (y) the finality of an order of this Court determining the allocation of
19
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 20 of 22
proceeds of such sale among all parties asserting liens and/or security interests in such property.
The indemnity obligations hereunder are intended solely to provide protection to Poppy arising
solely and directly from the priming of its asserted lien. Nothing herein shall be construed to
require or provide for any other losses that Poppy may suffer in connection with this Bankruptcy
Case or the disposition of the Poppy Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
there is no indemnity on account of (1) any determination with respect to the priority of liens or
security interests in the Poppy Collateral; (2) the sale price or allocation thereof with respect to the
Poppy Collateral; (3) valuation of the Poppy Collateral or other DIP Collateral; (4) costs or charges
as may be allowed under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; (5) losses on account of unpaid
interest, fees or charges, or the time value of money; or (6) any other reason, except for payment
to the DIP Lender on account of priming from funds otherwise allocable to Poppy from the Poppy
Collateral on account of the Allowed Poppy Claim. In the event, and to the extent, that the DIP
Lender is obligated to make any payment to Poppy pursuant to this indemnification, the DIP
Lender shall have and retain its liens in all property owned by the Debtors, and the DIP
Superpriority Claim, all of which shall remain the Debtors' obligations and indebtedness under the
DIP Credit Facility, and the Debtors shall jointly and severally be obligated and indebted to the
DIP Lender with respect thereto unless and until the DIP Lender has been paid in full; provided
however, that the Debtors' obligations and indebtedness to the City described in the first part of
the preceding sentence shall not be paid from the sale proceeds from the parcels identified in
paragraphs 1 or 2 of Exhibit 3, to the extent that such payment would increase the amount
otherwise paid to the DIP Lender from such parcels on a priming basis. Nothing herein shall
constitute a finding, admission or determination with respect to priority of liens in or to the Poppy
Collateral. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any right or interest in favor of any person
20
Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 437 Filed 04/15/25 Page 21 of 22
or entity other than Poppy, and no third -party beneficiaries exist with respect to the rights set forth
herein; provided, however, that the cap on priming set forth in paragraph 5 of Exhibit 3 shall inure
to the benefit (if any) of all persons who hold allowed secured claims in the Poppy Collateral.
Nothing herein limits or waives any right, power or privilege of the Debtors with respect to claims
or defenses they may have against Poppy or the Poppy Collateral.
11. Survival of Order and Other Matters. The provisions of this Order and any
actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order which may be entered (i) confirming
any Plan in the Cases, (ii) converting any of the Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code or a Successor Case, (iii) to the extent authorized by applicable law, dismissing the Cases,
(iv) withdrawing the reference of the Cases from this Court, or (v) providing for abstention from
handling or retaining of jurisdiction of the Cases in this Court and this Order. The terms and
provisions of this Order (all as expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto) shall be binding upon the
Debtors and the DIP Lender, the Prepetition Secured Creditors and each of their respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Debtors and the DIP Lender, the

without limitation, any trustee, examiner with expanded powers, responsible officer, estate
administrator or representative, or similar person appointed or elected in a case for any Debtor
under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, including any Successor Case. The terms and
provisions of this Order (all as expressly limited by Exhibit 3 hereto) shall also be binding on all
of the Debtors' creditors and equity holders who received notice of the DIP 'lotion, and all other
parties in interest, including, but not limited to a trustee appointed or elected under chapter 7 or

other liens and security interests in the Borrowers' property (other than the prepetition
property interests of the City). The City shall be entitled to a superpriority administrative
expense to secure all indebtedness and obligations under the Facility pursuant to Section
364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, senior to all other administrative expenses in the

funds without the advance written consent of the City. Upon the occurrence of an Event

indebtedness under the Facility.

other consideration from a purchaser or developer on account of additional fees or
expenses as may be incurred in connection with the negotiation, documentation or
implementation of development or related agreements.
11. Indemnification. The Borrowers and their successors and assigns shall indemnify the
City for all claims and liability arising from or in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein, except to the extent of liability that is determined by final order to
result from the City's intentional or willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Area 7,8,9") shall be limited to $7,000,000, i.e., approximately 58° ° of the total DIP Credit
Facility. The Debtors and the DIP Lender stipulate and agree that the disproportionate
amount of priming with respect to Planning Area 7,8,9 (when compared to the percentage
of these parcels to the estates' total parcels' in both size and value) is appropriate because,
among other reasons: (a) Planning Area 7,8,9 is comprised of some of the most valuable
parcels included in the DIP Collateral; and (b) there exists a substantial equity cushion in
favor of the holder of the first deed of trust on the parcels comprising Planning Area 7,8,9,
even taking into account the DIP Lender's $7 million priming lien; and (c) the equity
