Property”) upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Borrowers must submit a Substitution Request, identifying the proposed Substitute
Property and the proposed Replaced Property at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed

and operating statements.
(b) The owner of the Substitute Property must be a single purpose entity owned and controlled
in such manner that inclusion of such owner as a Borrower would not result in a Change of Control
and such owner must execute a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A to join this
Agreement as a Borrower. No properties will be permitted other than multi-family student oriented
rental housing properties. The Substitute Property must be located in the continental United
States.
(c) Lender in its sole discretion shall acknowledge within ten (10) business days of the
Lender’s receipt of the Substitution Request whether the proposed Substitute Property appears to

Substitution will be subject to the other conditions outlined in this Section 3.06.
(d) Borrowers shall pay a loan fee to Lender equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of an
amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the appraised fair market “As Is” value of the Substitute
Property at closing of each approved Substitution; provided, however, that such fee shall be
$50,000 with respect to each of the first three (3) Substitutions. A “Substitution Deposit” of
$25,000.00 shall be required with submission of a Substitution Request, which deposit shall be
applied to the loan fee at closing of the Substitution. The deposit and loan fee contemplated by
this subsection are in addition to attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the documentation of
such Substitution and in the review of due diligence.
(e) All improvements on the Substitute Property shall have been completed in a good and
workmanlike manner and in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable governmental

full.
(f) The appraised fair market “As Is” value of the Substitute Property shall be equal to or
greater than the greater of (x) the then appraised fair market value, or gross sales proceeds, as
the case may be, of the Replaced Property, and (y) the original appraised value of
9
the Replaced Property as set forth in the appraisal delivered to Lender in connection with the
closing of the loan on the Replaced Property; provided, however, that, Borrowers may prepay the
Loan by the amount of any shortfall in the appraised fair market “As Is” value of the Substitute
Property with respect to the foregoing requirement.
(g) Borrowers must demonstrate to Lender’s satisfaction that, after giving effect to such
Substitution (and any proposed prepayment of the Loan to be made in conjunction therewith, if
applicable), the Borrowers will be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article
VII.
(h) Lender’s outside counsel shall prepare and Borrowers shall execute (1) amendments to the

proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents shall be commenced by or on
behalf of any Borrower Party or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members or
beneficiaries, or any such Person shall assert that any of the Loan Documents do not apply to

illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with their respective terms;
(l) Any suit or proceeding shall be filed against any of the Borrower Parties or any
Collateral which in the good faith business judgment of Lender after giving consideration to the
likelihood of success of such suit or proceeding and the availability of insurance to cover any

determined, would result in an uninsured judgment or settlement that would have a Material Adverse
Effect;
25
(m) Any Guarantor denies that such Guarantor has any liability or obligation under the
Guaranty or any Environmental Indemnity Agreement pursuant to the terms of such document, or shall
notify Lender of such Guarantor’s intention to attempt to cancel or terminate the Guaranty or any

(r) Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming any Borrower as debtor

jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of any Borrower or by, or caused by, or at the
instance of any principal, member, general partner or officer of any Borrower without the prior
written consent of Lender.
Section 8.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender may, in its discretion, exercise one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Accelerate the maturity of the Obligations and declare the entire unpaid principal
balance of, and any unpaid interest then accrued on, the Note, without demand or notice of any
kind to Borrowers or any other Person, to be immediately due and payable;
(b) Take all, any or any combination of the actions Lender may take under any of the other
Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement upon the occurrence of a default or
an event of default thereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the event that is an Event of Default
hereunder may not constitute a default or an event of default under any such other Loan Document or
the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, including, without limitation acceleration of the
Obligations evidenced by the Note and foreclosure and sale of the Land and the Improvements under
the Security Instruments;
(c) Perform, or cause to be performed, any obligation, covenant or agreement that Borrowers
have failed to perform or comply with, and in such event all costs and expenses incurred by Lender
in performing any such obligation, covenant or agreement shall be added to the Obligations and
shall be secured by the Security Instruments, and shall bear interest at the
26
Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date paid or incurred by Lender, and the interest
thereon shall also be added to and become a part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the
Security Instruments;
(d) Continue to act, with respect to Borrowers and the Loan, as if no Event of Default had
occurred, which continuance shall not be or be construed as a waiver of Lender’s rights; and
assert the Event of Default and take any action provided for herein at any time after the
occurrence and during the existence of the Event of Default;
(e) Proceed as authorized by law to obtain payment of the Loan; or
(f) Take all, any, or any combination of the actions Lender may take under applicable law or
equity.
No failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any further right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan
Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement. No exercise by Lender of any remedy under
the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement shall operate as a
limitation on any rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, except to the extent of moneys
actually received by Lender under the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification
Agreement.
Section 8.03 Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with any of the actions authorized in this Article, after an Event of Default,
including without limitation attorneys’ fees, shall be and constitute a portion of the Loan,
secured in the same manner and to the same extent as the Loan, even though such costs and expenses
may cause the amount of the Loan to exceed the face amount of the Note. Whenever the terms of this
Agreement require Borrowers to pay attorneys’ fees of Lender, such obligation shall extend only to
reasonable attorneys’ fees, without regard to statutory interpretations, actually incurred at
normal hourly rates.
Section 8.04 Remedies Cumulative. The foregoing remedies are cumulative of, and in
addition to, and not restrictive or in lieu of, the other remedies provided for herein and the
remedies provided for or allowed by the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification
Agreement, or provided for or allowed by law, or in equity.
ARTICLE IX
JOINT BORROWER PROVISIONS.
Section 9.01 Joint Borrower Provisions.
(a) Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and
hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and
27
assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower. Each
Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and
performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Article IX shall not be
discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its
obligations under this Article IX shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and
unaffected by,
(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or
change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument
to which any Borrower is or may become a party;
(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Article IX) or any
other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions
thereof;
(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any
security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect
thereof (including the release of any such security);
(iv) the insolvency of any Borrower Party; or
(v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with
respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
(b) Each Borrower expressly represents and acknowledges that it is part of a common enterprise
with the other Borrowers and that any financial accommodations by Lender, to any other Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest,
benefit and advantage to all Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that, for
purposes of the Loan Documents, it receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this
Agreement to all of the Borrowers.
Section 9.02 Waivers by the Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it
may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or
otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations
guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower Party, any other party or against any security for
the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to
proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the foregoing
waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Article and such waivers, Lender would decline
to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers waives all defenses arising under the laws of
suretyship; to the extent such laws are applicable, in connection with its joint and several
obligations under this Agreement.
28
Section 9.03 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this
Article are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and
nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations
of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Section 9.04 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 9.07,
each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and
all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Lender and shall
not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this
Article IX, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries
of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Article IX.
Section 9.05 Election of Remedies. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to
realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Lender a Lien upon any Collateral,
whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by
non-judicial sale or enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or
rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Article IX. If, in
the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies,
including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person,
whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each
Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even
if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that
each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies that
results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Lender to seek a deficiency judgment
against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the
Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private
sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the
Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the
Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party
is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the
Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations
shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Article IX,
notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of
reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for
such bidding at any such sale.
Section 9.06 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the
contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Article IX shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
(a) the amount of the Loan advanced to such Borrower;
29
(b) the net amount the Loan advanced to another Borrower under this Agreement and then
re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and
(c) the amount that could be claimed by Lender from such Borrower under this Article IX
without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar foreign or domestic statute or common law after taking into account,
among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other
Borrower under Section 9.07.
Section 9.07 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.
(a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Article IX of all or any
of the Obligations (other than the portion of the Loan made to that Borrower for which it is
primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor
Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such
Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied
by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as
defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate
Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such
Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, such
Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be
reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their
respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be
equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this
Article IX without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
(c) This Section 9.07 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing
set forth in this Section 9.07 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers,
jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 9.01. Nothing contained in this
Section 9.07 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the portion of the Loan made
directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect
thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification
is owing.
(e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Borrowers under this Section 9.07
shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations.
30
Section 9.08 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Article IX
is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any
Obligations or obligation of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the
instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the
contrary.
Section 9.09 Accommodation. It is understood and agreed that the handling of this
credit facility on a joint borrowing basis as set forth in this Agreement is solely as an
accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. Accordingly, Lender is entitled to rely, and
shall be exonerated from any liability for relying upon, any request made by a purported officer
of any Borrower without the need for any consent or other authorization of any other Borrower and
upon any information or certificate provided on behalf of any Borrower by a purported officer of
such Borrower.
Section 9.10 Independent Obligations. The obligation of each Borrower hereunder is
independent of the obligation of each other Borrower and, in the event of any event of default
under the Loan Documents, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any
Borrower whether or not said Borrower is the alter ego of another Borrower or any Guarantor and
whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is joined therein or a separate action or
actions are brought against any other Borrower or any Guarantor. Lender’s rights hereunder shall
not be exhausted until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.
Section 9.11 Fraudulent Conveyance. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is the intention of the Borrowers and Lender that the Borrowers’ Obligations
hereunder or any liens or security interest granted by any Borrower securing this Agreement not be
a Fraudulent Conveyance as defined below. Consequently, Lender and Borrowers agree that if the
liability of any Borrower hereunder or any liens or security interests granted by such Borrower
securing its obligations hereunder would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a
Fraudulent Conveyance which could be set aside as of the date of such determination, the liability
of such Borrower and the liens and security interests granted by such Borrower securing this
Agreement shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of the Maximum Obligation and the
liability of said Borrower under this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended
accordingly. For purposes of this provision, the “Maximum Obligation” shall mean the
aggregate amount due hereunder, but in no event higher than the maximum amount for which that
Borrower could be liable hereunder without rendering its obligation hereunder or the granting of
liens and security interests in connection herewith void under applicable law as a Fraudulent
Conveyance. A “Fraudulent Conveyance” shall mean a fraudulent conveyance under title 11 of
the United States Code as amended or under applicable state law regarding fraudulent conveyances,
fraudulent transfer or other similar law in effect from time to time. In making such determination,
the parties agree that the Maximum Obligation may increase from time to time as the maximum amount
for which any Borrower could be liable without rendering its obligations hereunder void under
applicable law as a Fraudulent Conveyance increases.

effect giving
32
a Notice to the principal party, nor does a failure to give such a courtesy copy of a Notice
constitute a failure to give Notice to the principal party.
Section 10.02 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder and no course of dealing between Borrowers and
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder or under the Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Lender would otherwise have. No
notice to or demand on Borrowers not required hereunder or under any other Loan Document in any
case shall entitle Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
Section 10.03 Successors and Assigns; Sale of Interest. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided that
Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of Lender, other than to the extent expressly permitted by the Security
Instruments. Lender may sell, assign, or sell or grant participations in all or any part of
Lender’s rights, title or interests hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or the
Environmental Indemnification Agreement without the prior written consent of Borrowers;
provided, however that any such assignment or sale shall not increase any of the
obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
In that event, such successor or assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights of Lender under
the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, subject to the terms of any
sale, assignment or participation agreement.
