Dated: March ___, 2018

 

This Offering Circular relates to the offer and sale of up to $35,000,000.00 in aggregate amount of unsecured promissory notes (the “Notes”) at $10,000.00 per Limited Recourse Obligation (“LRO”) to be issued by TUTTLE LAND INVESTMENTS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) at an interest rate of 13% per annum for a 5-year maturity with no pre-payment penalty. Our principal offices are located at 961 Hillsboro Mile, Hillsboro Beach Florida, 33062. The phone number for these offices is (561) 718-4816.

 

We will issue up to 3,500 Notes (the “Offering”).

 

The Notes will be unsecured special, limited obligations of the Company but guaranteed by the sponsor’s affiliates, TLH-40 Boca CC, LLC, TLH-46 Cove Rd, LLC and TLH-82 DOT, LLC (collectively, the “Guarantor” or “Affiliates”). The Notes will not be listed on any national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system. There will be no market for the Notes. Our obligation to make payments on a LRO is each holder’s pro rata share of the terms of such Notes.

  

The Notes are speculative securities. Investment in the Notes involves significant risk, and you may be required to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 1 of this Offering Circular.

 

We will commence the offering of each series of Notes promptly after the date this Offering Circular is qualified (each, a “Project Summary”). The offering of each series of Notes covered by this Offering Circular will remain open until the earlier of (1) the date the offering of all Notes are fully subscribed; or (2) 365 days after this Form 1-A is qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering Period”)

 

This Offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis, which means our officers will use their commercially reasonable best efforts in an attempt to sell the Notes. Such officers will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for these sales. In offering the Notes on our behalf, the officers will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  However, we reserve the right to offer the stocks through broker-dealers who are registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), or through other independent referral sources such as SEC/FINRA Registered crowdfunding portal providers. As of the date of this offering circular, we have not entered into any selling agreements with any broker-dealer or posting agreements with any crowdfunding portal providers. The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April 2012 and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

The Notes offered hereby may only be purchased by investors residing in the United States of America. This Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be, unlawful, prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. In addition, the Notes are offered only to investors who meet certain financial suitability requirements. See “Investor Suitability Requirements.”

OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

In this Offering Circular, ‘‘TUTTLE LAND INVESTMENTS, LLC,’’ the “Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our,’’ refer to TUTTLE LAND INVESTMENTS, LLC, unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the term ‘‘fiscal year’’ refers to our fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, the term ‘‘Notes’’ refers to offering of the Company’s Notes.

This Offering Circular, and any supplement to this Offering Circular include “forward-looking statements.” To the extent that the information presented in this Offering Circular discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” and “proposes.” Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These include, among others, the cautionary statements in the “Risk Factors” section and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations” section in this Offering Circular.

This summary only highlights selected information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Notes. You should carefully read the entire offering circular, including “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 5, and the financial statements, before making an investment decision.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Notes involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this Offering Circular, before purchasing Notes. There are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Notes, if such a trading market develops, could decline and investors in our Notes could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to our Company 

 Our success depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.

 Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees, in particular, Brian Tuttle, our founder. The loss of his services would delay our business operations substantially. We currently maintain a $10,000,000 key person life insurance policy for Brian Tuttle.  If one or more of our senior executives or key employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, it could disrupt our business operations, and we may not be able to replace them easily or at all. In addition, it is difficult to locate experienced executives in our industry and offer them competitive salaries at this stage in the Company’s development. We may be unable to retain our senior executives and key personnel or attract and retain new senior executives and key personnel in the future, in which case our businesses may be severely disrupted.

Risks Relating to Our Business

 We may not be able to sell the undeveloped land we purchase. 

We may contract to acquire tracts of raw undeveloped land, re-zone, subdivide and may improve on the land by constructing road access, installing water, sewage and utility lines and may not be able to sell the subdivisions because of market conditions. 

The profitability of attempted acquisitions and other real estate investing is uncertain.

We intend to contract to acquire, re-zone, obtain entitlements and develop real estate properties selectively. Land banking, acquisition and development of properties entails risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. In undertaking these investments, we will incur certain risks, including the expenditure of funds on, and the devotion of management's time to, transactions that may not come to fruition. Additional risks inherent in the investments include risks that the properties will not achieve anticipated sales and that estimates of the costs of improvements to bring a property up to standards established for the market position intended for that property may prove inaccurate. Expenses may be greater than anticipated.

Real estate investments are illiquid.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions will be limited. The foregoing and any other factor or event that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our investments could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we purchase or develop assets at a time when the commercial and residential real estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for properties, the real estate we purchase or develop may not appreciate or may decrease in value.

The commercial and residential real estate markets are currently experiencing a substantial influx of capital from investors worldwide. This substantial flow of capital, combined with significant competition for real estate, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets. To the extent we purchase or develop real estate in such an environment, we are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to attract the same level of capital investment in the future as it is currently attracting, or if the number of companies seeking to acquire such assets decreases, our returns will be lower and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for or expended in the development of such assets.

We may not make a profit if we sell a property or land banked subdivision.

The prices that we can obtain when we determine to sell a property will depend on many factors that are presently unknown, including the operating history, tax treatment of real estate investments, demographic trends in the area and available financing. There is a risk that we will not realize any significant appreciation on our investment in a property. Accordingly, your ability to recover all or any portion of your investment under such circumstances will depend on the amount of funds so realized and claims to be satisfied therefrom.

Competition with third parties for properties and other investments may result in our paying higher prices for properties which could reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, banks, REITs, national and international homebuilders, and real estate limited partnerships, many of which have greater resources than we do. Some of these investors may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and increased prices. If competitive pressures cause us to pay higher prices for properties, our ultimate profitability may be reduced and the value of our properties may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount paid for such properties. At the time we elect to dispose of one or more of our properties, we will be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers, which may result in us receiving lower proceeds from the disposal or result in us not being able to dispose of the property due to the lack of an acceptable return.

The Company may not be able to effectively control the timing and costs relating to the re-zoning, subdivision, or improvements on properties, which may adversely affect the Company’s investing results and its ability to repay the holders of Notes.

Nearly all of the properties to be acquired by the Company will require some level of re-zoning, obtaining entitlements, and/or construction of improvements immediately upon their acquisition or in the future.  The Company may acquire land for improvement only to discover that the land may require extensive investment such as wetland delineation and/or environmental remediation.  

 

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

We are likely to obtain additional mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure.

We plan to obtain long-term financing that may be secured by properties we acquire. In some instances, we may acquire our properties by financing a portion of the price of the properties and mortgaging or pledging some or all of the properties as security for that debt. We may also incur mortgage debt on properties that we already own in order to obtain funds to acquire additional properties, to fund property improvements and other capital expenditures, to make distributions, and for other purposes. However, we can give you no assurance that we will be able to obtain such borrowings on satisfactory terms.

High mortgage rates or changes in underwriting standards may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our cash flows from investing and the amount of cash distributions we can make.

If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on a property, we run the risk of being unable to refinance part or all of the property when the debt becomes due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance a property, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance or may only be able to partly refinance properties if underwriting standards, including loan to value ratios and yield requirements, among other requirements, are stricter than when we originally financed the properties. If any of these events occur, our cash flow could be reduced and/or we might have to pay down existing mortgages. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to our shareholders, could cause us to require additional capital, and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more shares or by borrowing more money.

We have broad authority to incur debt and high debt levels could hinder our ability to repay the Notes.

Our Articles of Organization and our Operating Agreement do not limit us from incurring debt. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments and may also be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to repay the Notes.

We may never have a public market for our Notes or may never trade on a recognized exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment.

There is no established public trading market for our securities. The Notes are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system.

For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, which apply to some other public companies. 

Risks Relating to this Offering

Early Redemption.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to repurchase all or any part of the Notes at 100% of the then-outstanding principal amount plus interest accrued to the date of repurchase.

Our Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to fully implement our business plan and our investors may lose their entire investment.

The Offering is on a “best efforts” basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as planned, and our growth opportunities may be materially adversely affected. This could increase the likelihood that an investor may lose their entire investment.

We have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this Offering and we may not use these proceeds effectively or in ways with which you agree.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds of this Offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this Offering. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase the market price of our Notes.

We estimate our total Offering costs to be $1,500,000.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are offering a maximum of 3,500 Notes on a no minimum, "best efforts" basis, at $10,000 per Note or LRO. We will sell the Notes ourselves and may in the future plan to utilize underwriters or pay commissions. We will be selling our Notes using our best efforts and no one has agreed to buy any of our Notes. This Offering Circular permits our officers and directors to sell the Notes directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any Notes they may sell. There is no plan or arrangement to enter into any contracts or agreements to sell the Notes with a broker or dealer but we reserve the right to do so. Our officers and directors will sell the Notes and intend to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances. There is no minimum amount of Notes that must be sold. Therefore, no money raised from the sale of our Notes will go into escrow, trust or the like. The Notes are being offered by the Company’s Management which will be relying on the safe harbor in Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to sell the Notes. No sales commission will be paid for Notes sold by the Management. The Management is not subject to a statutory disqualification and is not associated with a broker or dealer.

The Offering will terminate upon the earlier of the following to occur: (i) the sale of all Notes being offered, or (ii) 365 days after this Form 1-A is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this Offering will go to the Company.

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

We estimate that, at a per Note price of $10,000, the net proceeds from the sale of the 3,500 Notes in this Offering will be approximately $33,500,000 (the “Nets Proceeds”), after deducting the estimated Offering expenses of approximately $1,500,000.

We will utilize the Net Proceeds from this Offering to acquire additional properties, pay expenses in connection with the rezoning and subdivision of our properties, salaries for the team, operational costs, refinancing of existing Guarantor or Affiliates’ debt at a lower interest rate, marketing for our products, and other operating expenses.

The following table below sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 25%, 50%,

75% and 100% of the Notes offered for sale in this Offering by the Company.

The Company

BUSINESS

 

Overview and Corporate History

 

TUTTLE LAND INVESTMENTS, LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Florida on February 9, 2018. Our principal office is located at 961 Hillsboro Mile, Hillsboro Beach, Florida 33062. 

 

Our Sponsor is an internally managed real estate company engaged in the real estate investment business. Our Sponsor searches the markets of central and south Florida for tracts of raw, undeveloped land in various stages of development to purchase. Our Sponsor also acquires tracts of distressed land (i.e. environmental issues, difficult rezoning issues, difficult sellers, wetland issues, or small and fragmented pieces).

 

The Sponsor utilizes its 18 years of experience and proven team of consultants to remedy any existing land issues and then “up-zone” the property to its highest and best use. For example, we may take agricultural land and rezone it for residential or commercial use. Another scenario may include acquiring 4 to 5 smaller parcels and assembling them into a larger single property before again “up-zoning” the property to a higher density or commercial use.

 

The “up-zoned” land is then typically sold to national or regional home builders such as K. Hovnanian, Meritage Homes, Inc., D.R. Horton Inc., Royal Oak Homes and other companies (collectively, “Home Builders”).

 

We are a development stage company, and we expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this Offering to engage in land banking and real estate investment described hereinabove.

 

We will either develop such properties ourselves or will designate them for outright sale to Home Builders. We intend to conduct our operations in such a way that we and our subsidiaries are not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. 

 

We plan to initially focus our efforts on central and south Florida, particularly in markets we believe will experience demographic changes making investment favorable. We expect to build a high-quality portfolio intended to generate current income and to provide capital preservation, capital appreciation and portfolio diversification. The Company will hold title to its acquired properties through related entities that operate as wholly-owned or wholly-controlled subsidiaries of the Company.

 

Tuttle Land Investments, LLC is a newly formed limited liability company, created for the distinct purpose of using the proceeds from this Offering to invest. This Offering will be guaranteed by three of the Sponsor’s current operating Affiliates who have vast experience in acquiring and developing land in central and south Florida.  These companies are operated by the same Management team that will be managing the Company.

 

Historical Performance of Management Team

 

Our Senior Manager, Brian Tuttle, has been in the land investment and land development business since 2000. Mr. Tuttle acquired his first property by borrowing $200,000 from an investor and consolidating four parcels of land. Mr. Tuttle obtained options to acquire these four properties. Mr. Tuttle rezoned 80% of the land for residential use and 20% for commercial use before selling the four parcels, yielding a $2,000,000 profit. Mr. Tuttle then reinvested the profits from the aforementioned transaction to obtain contracts on numerous other properties and repeated the process over and over again. The chart below shows completed deals and their respective gross profits since 2000. Exhibit “G” shows each site plan associated with these transactions.

Exhibit “H” shows the site plan associated with each deal above. The two charts shown above illustrate what a tremendous track record the Management Team has had in the land assemblage and development business.  To the best of Issuer’s knowledge, no other private individual has assembled, rezoned, and sold more land in the South Florida market than the Management Team.  Many of these deals were conducted with high net worth partners who received generous profits shares. One of the goals of this Offering is to provide land development opportunities for smaller “retail” investors, usually accessible only by high net-worth individuals.

 

The Sponsor, by way of TUTTLE LAND DEVELOPMENTS, LLC, has identified numerous new opportunities to purchase, assemble, and rezone property. Another goal of the Offering is for the Sponsor to substantially increase the portfolio by initiating and completing new transactions.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that the experience of our Managers combined with our specific investment strategies distinguish us from other real estate companies.

 

 

§

Experienced and Dedicated Management Team. The Company intends to maintain a committed management team with experience in all phases of commercial and residential real estate investment, management and disposition. 

 

 

§

Strategy of Opportunistic Investing. We have an extensive deal flow network in target markets due to long-standing relationships with brokers and lenders. 

 

Target Markets

 

The target market is central and south Florida. South Florida is very land constrained therefore any properties there which can be up-zoned have the potential of generating substantial profits. The central Florida residential market is the largest in Florida, with over 13,000 new homes being built annually. The demand for “up-zoned” property in central Florida will only continue to increase due to the large absorption rates of new homes

 

 If Management discovers additional markets which present an opportunity to purchase real property in accordance with the Company's business and purpose, Management, in its sole and absolute discretion, may pursue such projects. Management will have complete discretion in the types of commercial and residential properties to be engaged by the Company. Consequently, investors in this Offering will be dependent upon the ability of Management to select properties that have the most potential to generate profits.

 

Industry Overview 

 

Residential housing is the largest real estate asset class in the United States with approximately $20 trillion in assets, according to the December 2014 Federal Reserve Flow of Funds release. Single-family homes currently comprise approximately one-third of all residential housing. The Company's goal is to acquire and aggregate tracts of raw undeveloped land, and subdivide the lots to sell to Home Builders. In addition, the Company will engage in development and/or acquisition, management and operation or sale of any class of income producing commercial and residential real estate.  The target market is the central Florida and south Florida.  

 

The U.S. housing market enjoyed nearly a decade of strong home price appreciation from the late 1990s through June 2006. Due to excessive lending at subpar underwriting standards, a significant home price correction occurred from late 2006 through early 2012. As measured by the S&P Case Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, the peak occurred in June 2006 (189.93) and reached a low in March 2012 (124.2) — a decrease of 35%. As of July 2017, home prices throughout the nation have increased substantially, having recovered almost all their value. The aforementioned index has increased 5.94% over the last 12 months.

 

The U.S. creates significantly more households each year than new homes being built. In 2016, the U.S. was building six new homes for every 10 new households created. This trend has continued into 2017 and is expected to continue into 2018 and beyond. While the increase of residential units will generally start to reduce this deficit, the backlog and need for new residential units, especially in high demand markets like south Florida, will continue for years to come.

 

State of Florida Economic Outlook

 

Most population experts and data show that around 1,000 people move to Florida each and every day. This makes Florida either the second or third fastest growing state in the union. This population growth creates a need for new housing. With a shortage of developable land in the south Florida markets, any land that can be developed goes for a premium.

 

Florida’s economy will exceed one trillion dollars in 2018. If Florida was a country, it would have the 16th largest economy in the world. With its large influx of new residents, theme park attractions, and warm climate, Florida continues to be a highly sought after state to reside. With the changes in the federal tax code, particularly in its limitation of state and local deductions, Florida (with no state income tax) should expect to become an even more desirable place to live.

 

Market Opportunity

 

The economic outlook described above presents a ripe opportunity for our business to seize upon. The Company believes that recent corrections in the national, regional and local residential markets are healthy, and in many cases, overdue. Over the course of the past several months, the Company has noticed that residential consumers have begun to explore the development of market-appropriate product with realistic absorption projections and expectations of realizable upside upon completion of their project, being completed in one to three years. The southeastern region, for example, is experiencing a critical lack of new housing product that is affordable to the bulk of the urban workforce.

 

Investment Objectives

 

Our primary investment objectives include:

 

•    Maximizing the capital gains of our properties;

•    Preserving and protecting capital contribution and;

•    Achieving long-term capital appreciation through increases in the value of our company.

 

We will also seek to realize growth in the value of our investments and to optimize the timing of our sales objectives. 

 

However, we cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our investments will not decrease. We have not established a specific policy regarding the relative priority of these investment objectives.

 

Investment Criteria

 

We believe the most important criteria for evaluating the markets in which we intend to invest substantial capital include:

 

•    Historic and projected population growth;

•    Markets with historically growing numbers of a qualified and affordable workforce;

•    Projected employment growth;

•    Markets with high levels of insured populations; and

•    Stable household income and general economic stability.

 

The markets in which we invest may not meet all of these criteria and the relative importance that we assign to any one or more of these criteria may differ from market to market or change as general economic and real estate market conditions evolve. We may also consider additional important criteria in the future. 

  

Due Diligence Process

 

We will consider a number of factors in evaluating whether to acquire a particular asset, including: difficulty in rezoning; geographic location; environmental issues; condition of the asset; historical performance; potential for capital appreciation; potential for economic growth in the area where the asset is located; presence of existing and potential competition; prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the assets; and tax considerations. Because the factors considered, including the specific weight we place on each factor, vary for each potential investment, we will not assign a specific weight or level of importance to any particular factor. Our obligation to close on the purchase of any investment generally will be conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller, including, where available and appropriate: plans and specifications; environmental reports; surveys; evidence of marketable title subject to any liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to the Company; and title and liability insurance policies.

 

Acquisition of Properties

 

The Company intends to acquire raw land and residential properties primarily through foreclosure sales, bank owned real estate, purchase transactions constituting a short sale (a transaction where the purchase price is less than the secured indebtedness on the property), and distressed sale transactions. Raw land will be acquired by identifying potential growth and making acquisitions prior to on-rush of development. The number of raw land and residential properties that may be available from all of the foregoing sources will vary from time to time, depending on numerous factors including, without limitation: trends in delinquent mortgages and foreclosure sales in a given area, extent to which banks may or may not aggressively seek to sell owned real estate (typically acquired through foreclosure on a delinquent mortgage), quantity of buyers seeking to purchase distressed properties, trends impacting values of residential properties, and other factors beyond the control of the Company.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our business is subject to many laws and governmental regulations. Changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and courts, occur frequently.

  

Investment Company Act of 1940

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that we are not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be held liable for the costs of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances. These laws often impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigating, removing or remediating these substances may be substantial, and the presence of these substances may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using the property as collateral, potentially exposing us to liability resulting from any release of or exposure to these substances. If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location, we may be liable for the costs of removing or remediating these substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by us. We may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site that we own or operate. Certain environmental laws also impose liability in connection with the handling of or exposure to asbestos-containing materials, pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous or toxic substances. 

 

Other Regulations

 

The properties we acquire likely will be subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements such as zoning as well as state and local fire and life safety requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants. We generally will acquire properties that are in material compliance with all regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these requirements will not be changed or that new requirements will not be imposed which would require significant unanticipated expenditures by us, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our Growth Strategy 

 

The Company will seek to continue its acquisition strategy upon completion of this Offering. The timing of commencement of operations may be influenced by the relative success of this Offering. We may not raise sufficient proceeds through this Offering in order to fully execute our business plans.

 

Operational Plan 

 

For the land rezoning and sale business:

 

Over the next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on acquiring tracts of raw land for land banking and other commercial and residential properties for development using the proceeds of this Offering.

 

Our officers and directors will meet with property owners, brokers, consultants and advisors in the real estate industry to locate raw land and other properties which meet the Company’s profile.

 

We may engage other consultants to conduct initial due diligence with respect to properties which may be of interest to the Company. Our initial focus will be to acquire properties located in central and south Florida.

 

Our founder, Brian Tuttle, intends to reach out to his current network to continue searching for appropriate properties. Mr. Tuttle has a network that includes real estate brokers, commercial and residential real estate owners, management companies, real estate operators, title companies, and escrow companies. Mr. Tuttle believes that by utilizing his current network, he will be able to identify and monetize appropriate properties. We hope to finance acquisition costs mostly with the sale of the Notes.

 

Once opportunities are identified and under contract or purchased, the company will use its team of experienced consultants to rezone and up-zone the properties to their maximum value. Once rezoned/up-zoned, these properties will be marketed to national and regional Home Builders to maximize profits.

We have no patents or trademarks.

Brian Tuttle has time and time again worked against adversity to achieve success. Mr. Tuttle worked as an automobile mechanic as he put himself through the police academy. He then worked at the Palmetto Police department as a road deputy for three years before deciding to continue his education. Mr. Tuttle graduated from the University of South Florida in 1986 with an Industrial Engineering Degree. He was the only student from his graduating class to be hired by IBM in Boca Raton where he worked for three years.

 

Mr. Tuttle made the bold decision to leave IBM to start his own business, a landscaping and lawn maintenance company he built over 11 years into a multimillion dollar enterprise by servicing new home builders. Mr. Tuttle soon recognized a need of his new home builder customer base for developable land.

 

In 2000, he completed his first land development rezoning deal. Since then, Mr. Tuttle has purchased over 100 properties to develop and substantially increase their value. The work completed on these properties included consolidating lots, curing environmental issues, and rezoning. Mr. Tuttle has sold more than 190 million dollars’ worth of redeveloped land and has an additional 160 million dollars of property under contract now. There are currently offers and contracts pending on over 40 million dollars more in land purchases and acquisitions. Mr. Tuttle’s basic business plan is to buy raw land which is under-zoned, fragmented, has difficult sellers, complex entitlement issues, or severe environmental issues. Mr. Tuttle then works with his experienced team of consultants to fix these issues, increasing the value of the land before selling the land to national or regional home builders at a much increased price.

 

Michael Tuttle graduated High school in 2009 and then went to Finland for 12 months to serve in the Military as a combat medic for their defense force. Shortly thereafter he majored in Applied Science at the Finnish Community College.  When Michael returned to the United States he worked as an armed guard. Mr. Tuttle started a landscaping company that worked directly with lenders to maintain REO properties. This company was responsible for managing 25 to 30 lawns per day. Later, Mr. Tuttle accepted a position in North Dakota working as a fuel fracking specialist for Thomas Petroleum. His responsibilities included managing the fueling operations for the fracking sites and training new employees, putting in a minimum of 100 hours per week.

 

In 2013, Mr. Tuttle returned to work with the family business, acquiring and developing properties. His first project was the management of a 187-acre site comprised of four parcels, made up of a land fill, horse barn, storage yard for off road construction equipment, and a wetland area. The properties were acquired for 11 million dollars. The decision was then made to invest eight million dollars into the property as well as rezone and change the entitlements, allowing the property to ultimately be sold for over 50 million dollars.

 

Mr. Tuttle has been personally involved with over 70 million dollars in closings and more than 50 million dollars of properties under contract for purchase. Currently, Mr. Tuttle’s main focus is the second phase of a successful project in Parkland.  He is personally overseeing the initial stages of development from clearing, de-mucking, bringing in clean fill and getting the property ready to sell to a national developer.   

 

Mr. Tuttle’s training has equipped him with the skills necessary to rezone and entitle projects to maximize profitability. He and his family are also overseeing the building and management of a 450,000 sq. ft. lifestyle center in Royal Palm Beach along with many other properties they have and are currently acquiring to rezone for residential and commercial buyers.  Chris and Michael have been personally involved with over $70 million in closings and over $50 million under contract for purchase.

 

Chris DeBehnke graduated from four years of Bible College where he realized a passion of his and became involved in a state-wide youth ministry camp for over 11 years.

 

During the real estate crisis, Chris established a maintenance company specialized in maintaining the premises of REO properties in Palm Beach County for Bank of America. Mr. DeBehnke obtained an opportunity with Nozzle Nolen Pest Control, where he climbed the ranks, ultimately being given the responsibility of maintaining all community association clients of their Lake Worth office, covering territory in Boca Raton, South Palm Beach and Manalapan. Mr. DeBehnke had a lawn and ornamental route and was able to solely maintain and flourish this route.

 

One of Mr. DeBehnke’s strength is implementing operational processes which directly contribute to a company’s successfully meeting established goals. In early 2013, Mr. DeBehnke started working for the family business where his first project was to manage a 187-acre site comprised of four parcels. The four parcels included land used for a land fill, a horse barn, storage yard for off-road construction equipment, and a wetland area. Mr. DeBehnke’s experience and established skill set allowed him to create a Remedial Action Plan which was successfully carried out and, as a result, the project was completed on time. These properties were initially purchased for $11 million while another eight million dollars was invested into the property. The property was also rezoned and the entitlements changed, leading to the ultimate sale of the property for over $50 million. Chris and Michael have been personally involved with over $70 million in closings and over $50 million under contract for purchase.

 

Currently, Mr. DeBehnke’s main project is establishing the infrastructure of Tuttle Royale, a $500 million-dollar project in its early stages. Tuttle Royale is a 202 acre project situated in Royal Palm Beach Florida that will include over 1,300 residential units, a 1,500-student charter school and 400,000 square feet for a Lifestyle and Activity Center. Mr. DeBehnke is always up for a challenge and the opportunity to work on complicated deals. Whether it is working with a difficult seller, environmental issue, or fragmented parcels, Mr. DeBehnke will go the extra mile to assure each property’s potential is being maximized.

 

Nicole DeBehnke’s first role in real estate was as property manager for a private investor for three years where she helped oversee the acquisition and management of 40 rental homes. During this time, she also started two businesses, an apparel company called “I Heart Line” and a lawn maintenance company with her husband called “De Bella Property MGMT.” Mrs. DeBehnke and her husband contracted with lenders to maintain REO properties.

 

All the while, Mrs. DeBehnke continued to volunteer in her local church as well as work with the family’s real estate business, assisting with various land development matters. She also started and sold a successful salon and skin spa located in east Boca Raton. This salon was recognized by the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce as “Best New Salon of 2017.”

 

Mrs. DeBehnke’s primary focus now is securing high-end tenants for Tuttle Royale, the family’s 450,000 sq. ft. Lifestyle Center located in Royal Palm Beach.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Corporate Governance

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.

Committees of the Board

Our Company does not currently have nominating, compensation, audit committees or committees performing similar functions. Our Company also does not have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Management believes that it is not necessary to have such committees at this time because the Director(s) can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

We believe that our Management is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Director(s) of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because Management believes that Management can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be too costly and burdensome and is not warranted under the circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our Management has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten (10) years:

1.bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;  

2.any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);  

3.being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or  

4.being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.  

5.Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;  

6.Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;  

7.Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or  

8.Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self- regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.  

Independence of Directors

We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors has evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty, federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take action to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

C.The Members desire to form the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Florida for the purposes set forth herein, and, accordingly, desire to enter into this Operating Agreement in order to set forth the terms and conditions of the business and affairs of the company and to determine the rights and obligations of its Members. 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Members, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree that the limited liability company Operating Agreement shall be as follows: 

 

Article I

ANNUAL REPORT; MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

 

1.1Annual Report.  The Company shall file an annual report with the Secretary of State on or before May 1st of each calendar year, on the form provided by the Secretary of State. 

 

1.2Annual Meetings of Members.  All annual meetings of the Members for the election of Managers (if appropriate) and such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held (i) on the third Monday in January of each calendar year at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, or on such other date or at such other time as may be fixed, from time to time, by or on behalf of the Members, and (ii) at the place, within or without the State of Florida, designated by or on behalf of the Members and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof 

 

1.3Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Members may be called by the Managers or the holders of not less than 10% of the Member Percentage Interest entitled to vote on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting (the term “Membership Percentage Interest” shall mean the initial percentage each Member’s contribution to the capital of the Company shall represent to the total initial capital, it being understood that Membership Percentage Interests shall not vary with fluctuations of a Member’s capital account unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Members in writing).  Special meetings of Members may be held at the times, dates and places, within or outside the State of Florida, designated by the Members and set forth in the notice of meeting required pursuant to Section 4 of this Article 1.  A meeting properly requested by a Member shall be called for a date not less than 10 nor more than 60 days after the request is properly made by the Member requesting the calling of the meeting.  Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice required by Section 4 hereof may be conducted at a special meeting of Members. 

 

1.4Notice of Meetings.  A written notice of each meeting of Members shall be given to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting at the address on the Member Percentage Interest transfer records of the Company, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting by the persons calling the meeting.  The notice shall state the date, time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special Members' meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.  If a Members' meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before an adjournment is taken. 

 

1.5Waiver of Notice.  Members may waive notice of a meeting before or after the date and time specified in the written notice of meeting.  All waivers of notice must be in writing, be signed by the Member entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Company for inclusion in the appropriate records.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, a Members' meeting must be specified in a written waiver of notice.  Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, unless the Member at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting. 

 

1.6Quorum.  Members holding Member Percentage Interests exceeding 50% entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter at a meeting of Members.  If a quorum is not present or represented at a meeting of members, the holders of Member Percentage Interests exceeding 50% of the Member Percentage Interests represented, and who would be entitled to vote at a meeting if a quorum were present, may adjourn the meeting for time to time.  Once a quorum has been established at a meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of Members, so as to reduce the Member Percentage Interests entitled to vote at the meeting below the amount required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of all actions taken at the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting. 

 

1.7Voting.  If a quorum is present, action on a matter, except for the election of Managers, shall be approved if the aggregate Member Percentage Interests of the Members entitled to vote on the subject matter favoring the action exceeds 50%. 

 

1.8Proxies.  A Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members, or an adjournment of it may vote in person or by proxy.  A Member may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his attorney-in-fact.  No appointment shall be valid for more than 11 months after the date of its execution unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. 

 

1.9Action Without a Meeting.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a Members' meeting may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the action is taken by the holders of Member Percentage Interests exceeding 50%.  To be effective, the action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action to be taken, dated and signed by approving Members having the requisite number of votes entitled to vote thereon.  Within ten days after obtaining authorization by written consent, notice of the action must be given to those Members who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action. 

 

Article II

TERM

 

2.1The Company shall continue until terminated as provided herein. 

 

Article III

4.1.1Each of the Members shall contribute to the Company as his Capital Contribution an amount equal to the amount set forth in the Organizational Minutes, and shall have the Member Percentage Interest indicated next to his name on Exhibit A. The Member Percentage Interest shall not vary as a function of the Members’ capital accounts unless otherwise expressly decided by the Members in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Members, the contributions shall be contributed no later than thirty (30) days following the execution of this Operating Agreement. 

 

4.2Company Capital.  The initial Company Capital shall be $1,000.00 (One Thousand and no/100 Dollars), which shall be contributed by the Members in accordance with Section 1 of this Article IV on the Effective Date. 

 

4.3.Capital Accounts.  An account representing the contributions to capital made by each of the Members shall be maintained by the Company.  The capital account of each Member shall equal that Member’s respective initial contribution to capital, additional contributions to capital and that amount of profits allocated to that Member pursuant to the provisions hereof governing profits and losses, less the amount of losses, deductions and credits allocated to that Member pursuant to such provisions, less all amounts distributed to that Member pursuant hereto.  

 

4.4Limited Liability of Members.  The liability of the Members shall be limited to the required Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 1 of this Article IV.  The Members shall not have any other liability to contribute money to, or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of, the Company, nor shall the Members be personally liable for any obligations of the Company. 

 

4.5No Interest on Capital Contributions.  Except as provided in Section 4.6 below, no interest or additional share of Net Cash Flow shall be paid or credited to the members on their Capital Accounts or on any undistributed Net Cash Flow or funds left on deposit with the Company.  

 

4.6Member Loans or Advances.  All individual capital advances made by a Member in the event the Members shall not make such capital advances pro rata shall be deemed a Member Loan (each a "Member Loan" and collectively the "Member Loans").  All Member Loans funded pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall bear interest at the annual rate of Twelve percent (12%) per annum and shall be repaid pari passu as provided in Section 6.3 below.   

 

4.7General Provisions.  Each person succeeding to a Member's interest in the company shall, upon becoming a substituted Member, have a Capital Account (in proportion to the interest of the member that is transferred) identical to that of the predecessor of the Member at the date the Transfer became effective. 


21



Article V

ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

 

5.1Profits and Losses.  Profits and losses of the Company, that shall be determined by this Company’s independent certified public accountant as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, shall be allocated among the Members for tax and accounting purposes in proportion to their Membership Percentage Interests.

1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.7 Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note or of any other Loan Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with Property, (v) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part


30



thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations hereby guaranteed.

1.8 Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.9 Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.

1.11 Borrower. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower.

The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of Borrower, Guarantor or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution of Borrower or Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower or Guarantor; or any reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor.

2.4 Invalidity of Guaranteed Obligations. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (i) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (ii) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, (iii) the officers or representatives executing the Note or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, (iv) the Guaranteed Obligations violate applicable usury laws, (v) Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower, (vi) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (vii) the Note or any of the other Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other person be found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason.

2.5 Release of Obligors. Any full or partial release of the liability of Borrower on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other party, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.6 Other Collateral. The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.7 Release of Collateral. Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.


32



2.8 Care and Diligence. The failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of any collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.9 Unenforceability. The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value of any of the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.10 Offset. The Note, the Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of or by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense of Borrower against Lender, or any other party, or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

2.11 Merger. The reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower into or with any other Person.

2.13 Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:


33



3.1 Benefit. Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.2 Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

3.3 No Representation By Lender. Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.4 Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.

3.5 Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. To the best knowledge of Guarantor, this Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

3.6 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor.

3.7 Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

ARTICLE IV

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result


34



of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of an event which would, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.3 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

4.4 Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

ARTICLE V

The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
