the Advance), the Borrower shall pay all breakage and other costs,
fees and damages incurred by the Lender in connection with its failure
to fulfill the MBS Commitment.

provided in paragraph (3), the Coupon Rate for any Base Facility
Advance other than the Initial Advance shall equal the sum of (i)
the MBS Pass-Through Rate, and (ii) the following:
(A) if the Base Facility Advance is made before
the end of the first Loan Year, a number of
basis points determined by the Lender at the
time of the increase in the Base Facility
Credit Commitment, but in no event more than
25 basis points; and
26
(B) if the Base Facility Advance is made after
the end of the first Loan Year, a number of
basis points determined by the Lender at the
time the Lender issues the Rate Confirmation
Form for the Base Facility Advance.
SECTION 2.03(d)(3) PARTIAL MONTH INTEREST. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Advance is not
made on the first day of a calendar month, and the MBS Issue
Date for the MBS backed by the Advance is the first day of the
month following the month in which the Advance is made, the
Coupon Rate for the Advance for the partial month period
commencing on the Closing Date for the Advance and ending on the
last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs
shall be the greater of (i) the Coupon Rate for the Advance which
will be in effect for the period after the partial month period
or (ii) a rate determined by the Lender, based on the Lender's
cost of funds, and approved in advance, in writing, by the

Collateral from the Collateral Pool, the Borrower may, not more than
once each calendar quarter, deliver a written request for the release
of the Collateral from the Collateral Pool (the "COLLATERAL RELEASE
REQUEST") to the Lender, in the form attached as EXHIBIT S to this
Agreement. The Collateral Release Request shall not result in a
termination of all or any part of the Credit Facility. The Borrower
may only terminate all or any part of the Credit Facility by
delivering a Credit Facility Termination Request pursuant to Article
IX. The Collateral Release Request shall be accompanied by (and the
Collateral Release Request shall not be effective unless it is
accompanied by) the name, address and location of the Mortgaged
Property to be released from the Collateral Pool (the "COLLATERAL
RELEASE PROPERTY").
SECTION 7.02(b) CLOSING. If all conditions contained in
Section 7.03 are satisfied, the Lender shall cause the Collateral
Release Property to be released from the Collateral Pool, at a
closing to be held at offices designated by the Lender on a Closing
Date selected by the Lender, and occurring within 30 days after the
Lender's receipt of the Collateral Release Request (or on such other
date to which the Borrower and the Lender may agree), by executing
and delivering, and causing all applicable parties to execute and
deliver, all at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower,
instruments, in the form customarily used by the Lender for releases
in the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the security interest
being released, releasing the applicable Security Instrument as a
Lien on the Collateral Release Property (but the Security Instrument
itself will not be fully released, but only partially released, if it
also encumbers other Mortgaged Properties not then being released),
and UCC-3 Termination Statements terminating the UCC-1 Financing
Statements perfecting a Lien on the portion of the Collateral Release
Property comprised of personal property (but the UCC-1 Statement
itself will not be fully terminated, but only partially terminated,
if it also describes personal property relating to other Mortgaged
Properties not then being released) and such other documents and
instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request evidencing the
release of the applicable Collateral from any lien securing the
Obligations (including a termination of any restriction on the use of
any accounts relating to the Collateral Release Property) and the
release and return to the applicable Owner of any and all escrowed
amounts relating thereto. The instruments referred to in the
preceding sentence are referred to in this Article as the "COLLATERAL
RELEASE DOCUMENTS."
SECTION 7.02(c) The term "RELEASE PRICE" means an amount
determined by the Lender for each Mortgaged Property on the Closing
Date and on or before September 1 of each year thereafter during the
term of this Agreement. The Release Prices in effect on the Initial
Closing Date shall be as set forth in Exhibit A. Upon each
determination of the Release Price for each Mortgaged Property by the
Lender, the Release Price for each Mortgaged Property shall be
promptly disclosed in writing by the Lender to the Owner and shall
remain in effect until the next determination, except that the Lender
shall have the
32
right to adjust such amounts on the date on which (i)
a Material Adverse Effect occurs, (ii) an Additional Mortgaged
Property is added to the Collateral Pool, (iii) a Mortgaged Property
is released from the Collateral Pool or (iv) the Borrower receives a
Future Advance. The date on which Release Prices are annually
determined, or are otherwise adjusted, shall be referred to as a
"DETERMINATION DATE." The sum of all Release Prices determined on a
Determination Date shall equal the aggregate amount of Advances
Outstanding on the Determination Date. The Borrower shall pay the
Release Price by (i) delivering to the Lender Cash Collateral and/or
(ii) adding one or more Additional Mortgaged Properties to the
Collateral Pool (subject to and in accordance with the terms of
Article VI), with an aggregate Collateral Value equal to, or
exceeding, the Release Price. For these purposes,
"COLLATERAL VALUE" means the value of the substitute
Collateral, determined as follows:
(1) Cash Collateral shall have a Collateral Value equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Cash
Collateral; and
(2) an Additional Mortgaged Property shall have a
Collateral Value equal to the maximum principal
amount of debt (the "SUPPORTABLE DEBT") which if it
were secured by a Security Instrument which
encumbered the Additional Mortgaged Property, would
result in a Loan to Value Ratio for the Additional
Mortgaged Property equal to or less than the Loan
to Value Ratio for the Collateral Release Property
and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Additional Mortgaged Property equal to or greater
than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Collateral Release Property; where
(A) the "LOAN TO VALUE RATIO FOR THE ADDITIONAL
MORTGAGED PROPERTY" means the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of -- (x) the
Supportable Debt to (y) the Initial Valuation
of the Additional Mortgaged Property;
(B) the "LOAN TO VALUE RATIO OF THE COLLATERAL
RELEASE PROPERTY" means the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) of -- (x) the Release Price
for the Collateral Release Property to (y)
the Valuation of the Collateral Release
Property in effect on the Determination Date
establishing the Release Price for the
Collateral Release Property;
33
(C) the "DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO FOR THE
ADDITIONAL MORTGAGED PROPERTY" means the
ratio (expressed as a percentage) of -- (x)
the Net Operating Income for the Trailing 12
Month Period allocable to the Additional
Mortgaged Property to (y) the Facility Debt
Service, computed with respect to the
Supportable Debt (rather than the Advances
Outstanding), bearing interest at the Blended
Rate;
(D) the "DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO FOR THE
COLLATERAL RELEASE PROPERTY" means the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of -- (x) the Net
Operating Income of the Trailing 12 Month
Period allocable to the Collateral Release
Property to (y) the Facility Debt Service,
computed with respect to debt equal to the
Release Price, such debt bearing interest at
the Blended Rate; and
(E) "CASH COLLATERAL" means (i) cash or other
assets in the form of Permitted Investments
or (ii) a letter of credit complying with the
requirements of the DUS Guide for letters of
credit.

held by the Lender (or its appointed custodian or collateral agent)
as substituted Collateral ("CASH COLLATERAL"), in accordance with a
security agreement and other documents in form and substance
acceptable to the Lender (or, at the Borrower's option, may be
applied against the prepayment of Base Facility Advances, so long as
the prepayment is permitted under the Base Facility Note for the Base
Facility Advance). All Cash Collateral shall be invested in
Permitted Investments. Cash Collateral may be released (i) by adding
an Additional Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool (subject to
and in accordance with the terms of Article VI), with a Collateral
Value at least equal to the amount of Cash Collateral to be released
and (ii) provided all General Conditions have been satisfied. For
these purposes, the "Collateral Value" of an Additional Mortgaged
Property shall be calculated by using 56.5% in lieu of the "Loan to
Value Ratio of the Collateral Release Property", and by using 155% in
lieu of the "Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Collateral Release
Property". Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to periodic payments of all
interest accruing on the Cash Collateral, in accordance with
provisions to be agreed to by the Borrower and Lender.

nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents nor the payment of the
Obligations:
(1) does or will conflict with or result in any breach or
violation of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation
enacted or issued by any Governmental Authority or
other agency having jurisdiction over the Borrower
Party, any of the Mortgaged Properties or any other

and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by

any other Person under any contract to which the Borrower Party is a
party relating to any Mortgaged Property, including any management,
rental, service, supply, security, maintenance or similar contract,
other than defaults which do not permit the non-defaulting party to
terminate the contract and which do not have, and are not reasonably
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower
Party nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower Party, any other Person,
has received notice or has any knowledge of any existing circumstances
in respect of which it could receive any notice of default or breach

non-defaulting party to terminate the contract and which do not have,
and are not reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

of ERISA.
SECTION 12.01(k) FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The financial

on or prior to the date hereof, if any, were prepared on the basis of
assumptions believed by the Borrower Party, in good faith at the time

of any fact or information that would lead it to believe that such
assumptions are incorrect or misleading in any material respect;
provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made that any
result set forth in such financial projections shall be achieved. The
financial statements of the Borrower Party which have been furnished
to the Lender are complete and accurate in all material respects and
present fairly the financial condition of the Borrower Party, as of
its date in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, and
since the date of the most recent of such financial statements no
event has occurred which would have, or may reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has not been any material
transaction entered into by the Borrower Party other than transactions
in the ordinary course of business or transactions which have been
disclosed by the Borrower Party to the Lender in writing. The
Borrower Party has no material Contingent Obligations which are not
otherwise disclosed in its most recent financial statements.
SECTION 12.01(l) ACCURACY OF INFORMATION. No information,
statement or report furnished in writing to the Lender by the Borrower
Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or

to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained

necessary to make the certifications, representations, warranties,
statements, information and descriptions contained therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

certificate of the Borrower Party delivered as of the Closing Date are
reasonable and based on the best information available to the Borrower
Party.

Property, in any contract for property or materials to be furnished or
used in connection with such Mortgaged Property or in any aspect of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.
SECTION 12.01(n) GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. No Governmental
Approval not already obtained or made is required for the execution
and delivery or approval, as the case may be, of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the performance of the terms and provisions
hereof or thereof by the Borrower Party.
SECTION 12.01(o) GOVERNMENTAL ORDERS. The Borrower Party is not
presently under any cease or desist order or other orders of a similar
nature, temporary or permanent, of any Governmental Authority which
would have the effect of preventing or hindering performance of its
duties hereunder, nor are there any proceedings presently in progress
or to its knowledge contemplated which would, if successful, lead to
the issuance of any such order.
SECTION 12.01(p) NO RELIANCE. The Borrower Party acknowledges,
represents and warrants that it understands the nature and structure
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, that it is familiar with the provisions of all of the
documents and instruments relating to such transactions; that it
understands the risks inherent in such transactions, including the
risk of loss of all or any of the Mortgaged Properties; and that it
has not relied on the Lender or Xxxxxx Xxx for any guidance or
expertise in analyzing the financial or other consequences of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or otherwise relied on the Lender or Xxxxxx Mae in any manner in
connection with interpreting, entering into or otherwise in connection
with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the matters
contemplated hereby or thereby.
SECTION 12.01(q) COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The Borrower
Party is in compliance with Applicable Law, including all Governmental
Approvals, if any, except for such items of noncompliance that, singly
or in the aggregate, have not had, and are not reasonably expected to
cause, a Material Adverse Effect.
48
SECTION 12.01(r) CONTRACTS WITH AFFILIATES. Except as otherwise
approved in writing by the Lender, the Borrower Party has not entered
into and is not a party to any contract, lease or other agreement with
any Affiliate of the Borrower Party for the provision of any service,
materials or supplies to any Mortgaged Property (including any
contract, lease or agreement for the provision of property management
services, cable television services or equipment, gas, electric or
other utilities, security services or equipment, laundry services or
equipment or telephone services or equipment). The Lender hereby
approves the property management agreements set forth on EXHIBIT W to
this Agreement.
SECTION 12.01(s) LINES OF BUSINESS. The Borrower is not engaged
(and each other Borrower Party is not principally engaged) in any
businesses other than the acquisition, ownership, development,
construction, leasing, financing or management of Multifamily
Residential Properties, and the conduct of these businesses does not
violate the Organizational Documents pursuant to which it is formed.
SECTION 12.01(t) STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST.
During the Term of this Agreement, the REIT will qualify, and be taxed
as, a real estate investment trust under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code, and will not be engaged in any activities which would
jeopardize such qualification and tax treatment.
SECTION 12.01(u) YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. The Borrower Party has
conducted a comprehensive review and assessment of its computer
systems and applications and made inquiry of the Borrower Party's key
suppliers and vendors with respect to the so-called "year 2000
problem" (the risk that computer applications may not be able to
properly perform date-sensitive functions after December 31, 1999)
and, based on that review and inquiry, the Borrower Party does not
believe that the "year 2000 problem" will result in a material adverse
change in the ability of the Borrower Party and its Subsidiaries to
manage and operate their properties and pay and perform their
obligations hereunder. For these purposes, the term "KEY SUPPLIERS
AND VENDORS" means those suppliers and vendors whose failure to
perform their obligations to the Operating Partnership would have, or
may reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 12.01(v) AMENDED AND RESTATED BASE FACILITY NOTE.
Borrower acknowledges that, at Borrower's request, the Lender is
receiving the assignment of two notes and mortgages from Manufacturers
and Traders Trust Company (the "ASSIGNING LENDER") and consolidating
the two notes, together with an additional "gap" note, into the
Amended and Restated Note, and the two mortgages, together with an
additional "gap" mortgage, into the Amended and Restated Security
Instrument covering the Initial Mortgaged Properties located in New
York, all as set forth in that certain Consolidation, Extension,
Spreader and Modification Agreement, dated the same date as this
Agreement (the "CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT"), by and between the Borrower
and the Lender (such notes and mortgages being assigned being referred
to as the "ASSIGNED LOAN DOCUMENTS"). The
49
Consolidation Agreement contains a true, correct and complete description
of the Assigned Loan Documents and there have been no amendments to the
Assigned Loan Documents, except as set forth in the Consolidation
Agreement. There are no defaults on the part of the borrower under the
Assigned Loan Documents and the unpaid principal balance of the Assigned
Loan Documents is as set forth in the pay-off letter from the Assigning
Lender delivered previously to the Lender. The borrower under the
Assigned Loan Documents has no defense, offset or counterclaim against
enforcement under the Assigned Loan Documents, and such borrower has
not made any assertion thereof. The Assigning Lender owns the
Assigned Loan Documents and neither the Assigning Lender nor any other
Person has Transferred any of its interest in the Assigned Loan
Documents, except to the Lender.
SECTION 12.02. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE OWNERS. Each
Owner hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:
SECTION 12.02(a) TITLE. Each Owner has good, valid, marketable
and indefeasible title to each Mortgaged Property (either in fee

except the Permitted Liens. The Subsidiary Owner holds record title
to the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit A as Xxxxxxxx Court

same Person. Each Security Instrument, if and when properly recorded
in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith,
will create a valid, perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property
intended to be encumbered thereby (including the Leases of such
Mortgaged Property and the rents and all rights to collect rents under
such Leases), subject only to Permitted Liens. Except for any
Permitted Liens, there are no Liens or claims for work, labor or
materials affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be prior

the Loan Documents. The Permitted Liens do not have, and may not
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 12.02(b) IMPOSITIONS. Each Owner has filed all property

affecting or relating to each Mortgaged Property other than those
which have not become due, together with any fine, penalty, interest
or cost for nonpayment pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any
assessment received by it. Each Owner has no knowledge of any new
proposed Tax, levy or other governmental or private assessment or
charge in respect of any Mortgaged Property which has not been
disclosed in writing to the Lender.
SECTION 12.02(c) ZONING. Each Mortgaged Property complies in all
material respects with all Applicable Laws affecting such Mortgaged
Property. Without limiting the

nor, to the knowledge of the Owner, any former owner of any Mortgaged
Property, has received any written notification or threat of any actions
or proceedings regarding the noncompliance or nonconformity of any
Mortgaged Property with any Applicable Laws or Permits (other than
notices of noncompliance which have been cured), nor is the Owner
otherwise aware of any such pending actions or proceedings.
SECTION 12.02(d) LEASES. Each Owner has delivered to the Lender

Mortgaged Property is in the form thereof, with no material
modifications thereto, except as previously disclosed in writing to
the Lender. Except as set forth in a Rent Roll, no Lease for any unit
in any Mortgaged Property (i) is for a term in excess of two years,
including any renewal or extension period unless such renewal or

information set forth on each Rent Roll is true, correct and complete
in all material respects as of its date and there has occurred no
material adverse change in the information shown on any Rent Roll from
the date of each such Rent Roll to the Closing Date. Except as
disclosed in the Rent Roll with respect to each Mortgaged Property or
otherwise previously disclosed in writing to the Lender, no Lease is
in effect as of the date of the Rent Roll with respect to such
Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation
in this subsection (e) made with respect to a time period occurring
prior to the date on which the Owner owned the Mortgaged Property is
made to the best of the Owner's knowledge.
SECTION 12.02(f) STATUS OF LANDLORD UNDER LEASES. Except for any
assignment of leases and rents which is a Permitted Lien or which is
to be released in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, each Owner is the owner and holder of
the landlord's interest under each of the Leases of units in each

laws relating to creditors' rights generally, and equitable principles,
and except as disclosed in writing to the Lender, no notice of any

tenants under Leases are occupied by such tenants as tenants only. No
Lease contains any option or right to purchase, right of first refusal
or any other similar provisions. No option or right to purchase,
right of first refusal, purchase contract or similar right exists with
respect to any Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 12.02(i) INSURANCE. Each Owner has delivered to the
Lender true and correct certified copies of all Insurance Policies

(i) any defects or inadequacies in such Mortgaged Property, or any
part of it, which would adversely affect the insurability of such
Mortgaged Property or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums
or charges for insurance or (ii) any termination or threatened
termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No claims have been
made against any contractor, architect or other party with respect to

setting forth the terms, conditions, and extent of such waiver signed

to the waiver and not to any other similar event or occurrence which
occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.
SECTION 17.01(d) The Borrower shall pay all fees, costs,
charges and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of

rate which may be collected from the Borrower under applicable law.
Nothing contained in this paragraph (e) shall require the Lender to
incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
SECTION 17.02. NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE. Unless otherwise expressly

cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given under the Loan

Borrower Parties.
ARTICLE XIX
INSURANCE, TAXES AND REPLACEMENT RESERVES
SECTION 19.01. INSURANCE AND TAXES.
SECTION 19.01(a) GENERAL. Each Owner shall establish funds for
taxes, insurance premiums and certain other charges for each
Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 7(a) of the
Security Instrument for each Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the continuance of
an Event of Default, no fund for Insurance Premiums (an
"INSURANCE ESCROW FUND") shall be required to be established
with the Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that, in the
event the insurance deductible(s) of, or required in, any
Insurance Policy exceeds $100,000, the Lender reserves the
right to require the Owners to establish with the Lender, as
additional security for the Notes, an Insurance Escrow Fund
equal to the aggregate amount of the insurance deductible(s) on
the Insurance Policy, as reasonably determined by the Lender.
If the Lender shall require an Insurance Escrow Fund, it shall
establish the Insurance Escrow Fund in a deposit account with a
financial institution selected by the Lender. Unless
applicable law requires, the Lender shall not be required to
pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the amounts
in the Insurance Escrow Fund.
SECTION 19.01(b) DELIVERY OF LETTER OF CREDIT. Provided that
no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
at any time during the Term of this Agreement during which
escrow funds for Taxes (each, a "TAX ESCROW FUND") is held by
the Lender with respect to each Mortgaged Property, the Owners
may, upon notice to the Lender, elect to substitute for the Tax
Escrow Funds a single Letter of Credit (as defined below) in
accordance with this subsection, in which event the Lender shall
return the Tax Escrow Funds to the Owners within 30 days after
the Owners deliver the Letter of Credit to the Lender. Provided
that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, at
any time during the Term of this Agreement during which a
Letter of Credit for Taxes is held by the Lender, the Owners may,
upon notice to the Lender, elect to substitute for the
Letter of Credit the Tax Escrow Funds, in which event the Owners
83
shall deliver to the Lender, in cash, the amount of the Tax
Escrow Funds which would have been required at the time of the
substitution if the Owners had not elected to furnish the
Letter of Credit and the Lender shall return the Letter of Credit
to the Owners within 30 days after its receipt of the cash
for the Tax Escrow Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Owners may not exercise their right to substitute a Letter of
Credit for the Tax Escrow Funds or the Tax Escrow Funds for the
Letter of Credit if the Owners have made a prior substitution
under this Section during the 36 months preceding the proposed
substitution. Any Letter of Credit delivered to the Lender in
accordance with this subsection shall be a clean, irrevocable
Letter of Credit, naming the Lender as beneficiary, in an amount
equal to the maximum aggregate amount which, at any point in time
during the 12 month period immediately succeeding the date
on which the Letter of Credit is delivered, would have been
required to have been on deposit in the Tax Escrow Funds (the
"MAXIMUM ESCROW AMOUNT"), if Tax Escrow Funds had been
maintained, as such amount is determined by the Lender. The Letter
of Credit must be issued by an issuer (the "ISSUER") that meets
the Lender's requirements for ratings of issuers of acceptable
Letters of Credit as set forth in the DUS Guide, must comply
with all other requirements for letters of credit contained in
the DUS Guide and must be a so-called "evergreen" letter of
credit which does not expire unless the Issuer gives the Lender
at least 30 days' advance written notice of the expiration.
(The term "LETTER OF CREDIT" shall mean the letter of
credit delivered to the Lender pursuant to this paragraph (b),
any replacement letter of credit, and any amendment or renewal
of the letter of credit or the replacement letter of credit.)
If the Owners at any time provide a confirming letter of credit,
a replacement confirming letter of credit or an amendment or
renewal of the confirming letter of credit or the replacement
confirming letter of credit, then the term "Letter of Credit"
shall also mean the confirming letter of credit as so amended,
renewed or replaced.)
SECTION 19.01(c) LETTER OF CREDIT AS ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL.
The Borrower Parties agree that the Letter of Credit
provides collateral for the Notes in addition to the lien
of the Security Instruments on the Mortgaged Properties and,
during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender shall
be entitled to take any action permitted under this Agreement, in
addition to pursuing any other remedy the Lender may have with
respect to any other Collateral or secured property, including
the Mortgaged Properties.
SECTION 19.01(d) CONDITIONS FOR PROVIDING AND HOLDING LETTER
OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.01(d)(1) PERIOD DURING WHICH THE OWNERS MUST PROVIDE
LETTER OF CREDIT. Until the earliest of (i) payment in full of all
sums secured by the Security Instruments and release by the Lender of
the liens of the Security Instruments, or (ii) the date that the
Lender fully draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted by this
Agreement, the Owners shall renew, amend or replace the Letter of
Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to ensure that
the Letter of Credit remains in effect and does not expire.
84
SECTION 19.01(d)(2) RETURN OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE
PROCEEDS THEREOF. The Lender shall return the Letter of Credit, or
the proceeds of any draws on such Letter of Credit (less all amounts
which have been applied by the Lender pursuant to the terms of this
Article XIX) to the Owners 10 days after the date on which the Lender
releases the lien of all of the Security Instruments following
payment in full of all amounts secured by the Security Instruments.
SECTION 19.01(d)(3) APPLICATION FOR PREPAYMENT. If the
proceeds of the Letter of Credit are applied to payment of a portion
of the principal amount of the Notes, a prepayment premium
attributable to such prepaid principal amount shall be due to the
Lender to the extent, if any, provided in the Notes.
SECTION 19.01(d)(4) ADJUSTMENT OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT. The
Owners shall deliver to the Lender copies of the paid bills and
notices of assessments for Taxes for the Mortgaged Properties within
15 days after the date on which the Taxes are due and payable.
Promptly upon the Owners' receipt of each yearly xxxx of Taxes, the
Owners shall deliver to the Lender an amendment or replacement of the
Letter of Credit. In addition, not more than two times each calendar
year, the Owners shall, promptly after receipt of notice from the
Lender, deliver to the Lender an amendment or replacement of the
Letter of Credit in the Maximum Escrow Amount for the then-current
calendar year, as such yearly amount is reasonably estimated by the
Lender on the basis of assessments and bills and reasonable estimates
thereof.
SECTION 19.01(e) RENEWAL OR REPLACEMENT OF LETTER OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.01(e)(1) RENEWAL OR REPLACEMENT. At least 30
days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, the
Owners shall either (i) cause the Letter of Credit to be
amended to extend its expiration date, or (ii) furnish a
replacement Letter of Credit. In either case, the amended
Letter of Credit or the replacement Letter of Credit must (A)

under the DUS Guide, and be from an Issuer which meets the
Lender's requirements for ratings of issuers of acceptable
letters of credit as set forth in the DUS Guide, (B) have a
term not less than one (1) year (unless a shorter term is
approved in writing by the Lender), and (C) be in the amount of
the outstanding Letter of Credit, amended to the extent
required pursuant to paragraph (d)(4) above. The foregoing
shall not affect the requirement that, notwithstanding the
expiration date of the Letter of Credit, it will not expire
until the Issuer has given the Lender at least 30 days' advance
written notice.
SECTION 19.01(e)(2) REVIEW OF RATING OF ISSUER;
REPLACEMENT OF LETTER OF CREDIT. From time to time, the Lender
shall review the rating of the Issuer of the then outstanding
Letter of Credit. If the Lender notifies the Owners that at
the time of any such review the issuing bank does not meet the
85
Lender's requirements for ratings of issuers of acceptable
letters of credit as set forth in the DUS Guide, the Owners
shall replace the outstanding Letter of Credit with a Letter of
Credit that complies with all of the requirements set forth in
the DUS Guide, no later than 30 days after the Lender's notice
to the Owners, unless the outstanding Letter of Credit would
expire prior to such 30-day period, in which case the Owners
shall provide the replacement Letter of Credit no later than
five business days prior to the expiration date of the
outstanding Letter of Credit.
SECTION 19.01(e)(3) DRAW ON LETTER OF CREDIT. If the
Owners do not provide an amendment to, or replacement of, the
Letter of Credit when required pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2)
above, as the case may be, which amended or replacement Letter
of Credit satisfies all of the requirements of paragraphs (1)
and (2) above, the Lender shall draw the full amount of the
Letter of Credit and hold and apply the proceeds as permitted
hereunder and, in such event, no Event of Default shall be
deemed to exist by virtue of the Borrower's failure to comply
with said paragraphs (1) and (2).
SECTION 19.01(f) DEFAULT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 19.01(f)(1) REMEDIES. During the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Lender shall be entitled, in its sole
discretion, to:
(i) Draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the
proceeds of the Letter of Credit as additional cash
Collateral;
(ii) Draw on the Letter of Credit and apply all or
any portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to
payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes and
the prepayment premium, if any (calculated as provided in
the Notes) on the principal amount prepaid; provided,
however, that such application of proceeds shall not cure
or be deemed to cure any default;
(iii) Draw on the Letter of Credit and apply all or
any portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to
reimburse the Lender for any losses or expenses
(including legal fees) suffered or incurred by the Lender
as a result of such default; and/or
(iv) Exercise all rights and remedies available to
the Lender at law or in equity or under any of the Loan
Documents (including this Section).
SECTION 19.01(f)(2) NO OBLIGATION TO APPLY PROCEEDS; NO CURE.
Nothing in this Section shall obligate the Lender to apply all or
any portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to cure any
default under the Loan Documents or to reduce the indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes. No application of proceeds of the Letter
of Credit by the Lender shall be deemed to cure any default.
86
SECTION 19.01(g) PROCEEDS OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.01(g)(1) PROVIDING REPLACEMENT LETTER OF CREDIT
AFTER A DRAW. Provided that the Owners are not otherwise in default
under any of the Loan Documents (including the Security Instruments),
after the Lender has drawn on the Letter of Credit, but prior to
application of proceeds, the Lender may, but is not obligated to,
permit the Owners to provide a replacement Letter of Credit that
complies with all the requirements set forth in the DUS Guide, in
which case the Lender shall return the proceeds of the draw to the
Owners, less the Lender's costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees and expenses and allocable costs for time spent by officers,
employees, contractors and agents of the Lender).
SECTION 19.01(g)(2) PROCEEDS HELD IN TAX ESCROW FUNDS
ACCOUNT(S). If the Lender draws on the Letter of Credit and holds
the proceeds under the Security Instruments, such funds shall be held
by the Lender in the Tax Escrow Funds account(s).
SECTION 19.01(g)(3) NO OBLIGATION TO DRAW OR TO APPLY PROCEEDS.
The Lender shall not be obligated to draw on the Letter of Credit
upon any default under any of the Loan Documents or apply the
proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit to cure a default under
the Loan Documents. The Lender may hold the Letter of Credit or the
proceeds of any Letter of Credit until the date for return as
determined pursuant to paragraph (d)(2), or apply all or any portion

otherwise provided in this Article, no Borrower Party shall have any
personal liability under this Agreement, the Notes, the Security
Instrument or any other Loan Document for the performance of any
87
Obligations of any Borrower Party under the Loan Documents, and the
Lender's only recourse for the payment and performance of the
Obligations shall be the Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties and any other Collateral
held by the Lender as security for the Obligations. This limitation
on the Borrower Parties' liability shall not limit or impair the
Lender's enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of all or
part of the Obligations, but, if such guarantor is a Borrower Party,
such guarantor's liability shall also be limited to the extent set
forth in this Article. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the foregoing, the Borrower shall be liable for all of the
Obligations to the full extent of all of Borrower's assets, and the

The Borrower Parties shall be personally liable to the Lender on a
joint and several basis for the repayment of a portion of the
Advances and other amounts due under the Loan Documents equal to any
loss or damage suffered by the Lender as a result of (1) failure of
any Owner of a Mortgaged Property to pay to the Lender upon demand
after an Event of Default, all Rents to which the Lender is entitled
under Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument encumbering the
Mortgaged Property and the amount of all security deposits collected
by the Owner from tenants then in residence; (2) failure of any Owner
of a Mortgaged Property to apply all insurance proceeds and
condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument
encumbering the Mortgaged Property; (3) failure of the Owner of a

director, partner, member or employee of any Borrower Party in
connection with the application for or creation of the Obligations or
any request for any action or consent by the Lender; (5) failure to
apply Rents, first, to the payment of reasonable operating expenses
and then to amounts ("DEBT SERVICE AMOUNTS") payable under the Loan
Documents (except that the Borrower Party will not be personally
liable (i) to the extent that the Borrower Party lacks the legal
right to direct the disbursement of such sums because of a
bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, or (ii) with
respect to Rents of a Mortgaged Property that are distributed in any
calendar year if the Owner of the Mortgaged Property has paid all
operating expenses and Debt Service Amounts for that calendar year);
(6) any Owner's failure to deposit all Gross Revenues into a Pledgee
Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in accordance
with the Cash Management Agreement or (7) a breach of any of the
Borrower's representations set forth in Section 12.01(v).

operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Properties; (b) operation
of any business other than the management and operation of the
Mortgaged Properties; or (c) maintenance of its assets in a way
difficult to segregate and identify; or (2) a Transfer that is an
Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument or
Article XVI of this Agreement.
SECTION 20.01(d) PERMITTED TRANSFER NOT RELEASE. No Transfer
by any Borrower Party of its Ownership Interests in any other
Borrower Party shall release the Borrower Party from liability under
this Article, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless the
Lender shall have approved the Transfer and shall have expressly
released the Borrower Party in connection with the Transfer.
SECTION 20.01(e) MISCELLANEOUS. To the extent that a Borrower
Party has personal liability under this Section, the Lender may
exercise its rights against the Borrower Party personally without
regard to whether the Lender has exercised any rights against the
Mortgaged Properties or any other security, or pursued any rights
against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to the
Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law. For purposes of

NOTES AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, INTERPRETED,
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF VIRGINIA (EXCLUDING THE LAW APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF
90
LAW) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING
ONLY TO (1) THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF LIENS AND SECURITY
INTERESTS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, AGAINST THE
MORTGAGED PROPERTIES, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE

PERFECTION, THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION AND NON-PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF
SECURITY INTERESTS IN PERSONAL PROPERTY (OTHER THAN DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS),
WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION DETERMINED
BY THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS OF THE VIRGINIA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND
(3) THE PERFECTION, THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION AND NON-PERFECTION AND
FORECLOSURE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, WHICH MATTERS SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT IS

IN RELATION TO THE NOTES, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
SHALL BE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, LITIGATED IN VIRGINIA. THE
LOCAL AND FEDERAL COURTS AND AUTHORITIES WITH JURISDICTION IN VIRGINIA
SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, HAVE JURISDICTION OVER ALL
CONTROVERSIES WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
INCLUDING THOSE CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE EXECUTION, JURISDICTION,
BREACH, ENFORCEMENT OR COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTES, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR
ANY OTHER ISSUE ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH BORROWER PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE,

WAIVES ANY OTHER VENUE TO WHICH IT MIGHT BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF DOMICILE,
HABITUAL RESIDENCE OR OTHERWISE. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL
PREVENT THE LENDER FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR
EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST THE BORROWER PARTIES, AND AGAINST THE
COLLATERAL, IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. INITIATING SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING OR TAKING SUCH ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION SHALL IN NO
EVENT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN THAT THE LAWS
OF VIRGINIA SHALL GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER PARTIES
AND THE LENDER AS PROVIDED HEREIN OR THE SUBMISSION HEREIN BY THE BORROWER
PARTIES TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION WITHIN VIRGINIA. EACH BORROWER PARTY (I)
COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE
ARISING UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TRIABLE BY A JURY AND (II) WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR
HEREAFTER EXIST. THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH
INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WOULD
OTHERWISE ACCRUE. FURTHER, EACH BORROWER PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
LENDER'S COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO THE BORROWER
PARTY THAT THE LENDER WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS WERE KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
AGREED TO BY THE BORROWER PARTIES UPON CONSULTATION WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL
COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE BORROWER PARTIES' FREE WILL.
91
