MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.38
MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 2nd day of March, 2004 by and among (i) Mid-America Apartments, L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and Mid-America Apartments of Texas, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (individually and collectively, “Borrower”), and (ii) Prudential Multifamily Mortgage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”).
RECITALS
A. Borrower owns one or more Multifamily Residential Properties (unless otherwise defined or the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix I of this Agreement) as more particularly described in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
B. Borrower has requested that Lender make a $11,720,000 loan in favor of Borrower.
C. To secure the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents issued in connection with the Initial Loan, Borrower shall create a Collateral Pool in favor of Lender. The Collateral Pool shall be comprised of (i) second or third priority Security Instruments on the Multifamily Residential Properties listed on Exhibit A and (ii) any other Security Documents executed by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
D. Each Security Document shall be cross-defaulted (i.e., a default under any Security Document, or under this Agreement, shall constitute a default under each other Security Document, and this Agreement) and cross-collateralized (i.e., each Security Instrument shall secure all of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, except as provided in this Agreement, exercise and perfect any and all of its rights in and under the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged Property without needing to exercise and perfect its rights and remedies with respect to any other Mortgaged Property and that any such exercise shall be without regard to the Allocable Facility Amount assigned to such Mortgaged Property and that Lender may recover an amount equal to the full amount outstanding in respect of the Note in connection with such exercise and any such amount shall be applied as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.
E. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender has agreed to make the Initial Loan to Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE LOANS
SECTION 1.01 The Loans. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make a Loan (“Initial Loan”) to the Borrower in an amount not exceeding $11,720,000 on the Initial Closing Date. After the Initial Closing Date, Lender may agree, in its sole discretion from time to time, to make one or more additional Loans to the Borrower subject to such terms and conditions as Lender may require in its sole discretion. The Initial Loan and any such additional Loan (a “Future Loan”) shall be evidenced by the Note.
Section 1.02 Loan Periods. The term of each Loan shall be divided into periods as follows:
(a) Partial Month Period. If the Closing Date of a Loan is not the first day of a calendar month, the period from the Closing Date to the end of that calendar month is the “Partial Month Period.” For example, if the Loan is made on August 16, the end of the Partial Month Period is August 31.
(b) Discount Periods. After the Partial Month Period (if any) or if the Closing Date of a Loan is the first day of a calendar month, the remainder of the term of the Loan shall be divided into Discount Periods. A “Discount Period” shall mean the period beginning on the first day of a calendar month and ending on the first day of the calendar month three months later. The first Discount Period after a Partial Month Period shall begin on the first day of the calendar month after the month in which the Closing Date occurs. Any other Discount Period shall begin on the last day of the prior Discount Period (which shall be the first day of a calendar month). The Lender agrees that the Borrower may request a Discount Period of one or two calendar months duration for a timing purpose to accommodate the sale of a Multifamily Residential Property financed by the related Loan or some other similar timing purpose. In no event shall any Discount Period begin or end after the Termination Date. To continue the example set out in (a), the beginning of the first Discount Period is September 1 and the last day of that Discount Period is December 1. The beginning of the next Discount Period after that is December 1 and the last day of that Discount Period is March 1 of the following year.
Section 1.03 Discount Mortgage Backed Security. Each Loan will be funded during a Discount Period by the issuance of a discount mortgage backed security (“DMBS”). The principal amount of the Loan shall be equal to the sum of (i) the price (“Price”) of the DMBS for the Discount Period and (ii) the discount (“Discount”) of the DMBS for the Discount Period. The Price is equal to the proceeds of the sale of the DMBS and the Discount is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the face amount of the DMBS and (ii) the Price of the DMBS. The proceeds of the Loan made available by Lender to Borrower on the first day of the Loan shall equal the Price of the initial DMBS issued for the first Discount Period. Each DMBS shall be issued for a term of three months. The issuance date (“MBS Issue Date”) for each DMBS shall be the first day of a calendar month and the maturity date for each DMBS shall be the first day of the calendar month after such three month term. For example, the maturity date for a DMBS issued on December 1 is March 1.

SECTION 1.04 Interest, Discount and Fees on Loans.
(a) Partial Month Period Interest. If the Loan has a Partial Month Period, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of the Loan for the Partial Month Period at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) the Coupon Rate as determined in accordance with Section 1.05 and (2) a rate determined by Lender, based on Lender’s cost of funds and approved in advance, in writing, by Borrower, pursuant to the procedures mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Lender.
(b) Discount. Each Loan shall be treated as a discount loan for each Discount Period. Borrower shall pay to Lender, in advance of the Discount Period, the entire Discount for the Loan for the upcoming Discount Period. If, for a Loan, the amount of the Discount for the DMBS for the following Discount Period is greater than the Discount for the DMBS for the current Discount Period, then, not less than two Business Days prior to the end of the current Discount Period, the Borrower shall pay to Lender the aggregate amount of such difference. If the amount of the Discount for the new DMBS is less than the Discount for the outstanding DMBS, the aggregate amount of such difference shall be credited against the regular monthly payment due on the first day of the following Discount Period.
(c) Loan Fee. Borrower shall also pay monthly installments of the Loan Fee to Lender for each Loan for each Discount Period. The Loan Fee shall be payable in advance, in accordance with the terms of the Note. The first installment shall be payable on or prior to the Closing Date for the Loan and shall apply to the first full calendar month of the first Discount Period beginning with or first occurring after the Closing Date. Subsequent installments shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first day of the second full calendar month of the first Discount Period until the Loan is paid in full. Each installment of the Loan Fee shall be in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Loan Fee, (2) the Price of the Loan during such Discount Period, and (3) 1/12.
SECTION 1.05 Coupon Rates for a Loan. The Coupon Rate for a Loan shall equal the sum of (1) an interest rate as determined by Lender (rounded to three places) payable for the DMBS pursuant to the DMBS Commitment (“DMBS Imputed Interest Rate”)and (2) the Loan Fee.
SECTION 1.06 Maturity of Loan. The entire unpaid principal of a Loan will be due and payable by the Borrower on the first to occur of:
(a) the last day of a Discount Period unless, not less than five Business Days prior to the maturity date of the outstanding DMBS funding for that Loan for that Discount Period, the Borrower has requested in writing that the outstanding DMBS be renewed with a new DMBS by sending the Lender a completed and executed Rate Form in accordance with Section 1.07;
|
(b) |
the Termination Date; and |
|
(c) |
the maturity date for a Loan established in the Note. |
SECTION 1.07 Rate Setting for a Loan for a Discount Period.

Mid-America Additions
(a) The Borrower may request Lender to renew a DMBS for an additional Discount Period after the then current Discount Period by sending a completed and executed Rate Form to Lender not less than five Business Days prior to the end of the current Discount Period.
(b) If the Borrower has requested that an outstanding DMBS be renewed with a new DMBS, then not less than four Business Days prior to the end of the current Discount Period, Lender shall notify Borrower of the Discount on the new DMBS to be issued on such maturity date by sending Borrower a form confirming the terms and conditions of the new DMBS (the “Rate Confirmation Form”). Borrower shall execute and return the Rate Confirmation Form to Lender not later than three Business Days prior to the end of the current Discount Period. The Lender’s failure to send the Rate Confirmation Form shall not affect in any way the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 1.08 Breakage and other Costs. If Lender obtains, and then fails to fulfill, a commitment by an investor to purchase the DMBS for the next Discount Period (“DMBS Commitment”) because the DMBS is not renewed (for a reason other than Lender’s default), the Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs payable to the potential investor and other reasonable costs, fees and damages incurred by Lender in connection with its failure to fulfill the DMBS Commitment. The Lender reserves the right to require the Borrower to post a deposit at the time the DMBS Commitment is obtained. Such deposit shall be refundable to the Borrower upon the delivery of the related DMBS.
ARTICLE II
ALLOCABLE FACILITY AMOUNT AND VALUATIONS
SECTION 2.01 Determination of Allocable Facility Amount and Valuations.
(a) Initial Determinations. On the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall determine (i) the Allocable Facility Amount and Valuation for each Mortgaged Property and (ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio. The initial determinations made pursuant to this subsection shall remain in effect until the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.
(b) Periodic Determinations. From and after the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall make the following determinations:
(1) Once each Calendar Quarter, within 20 Business Days after Borrower has delivered to Lender the reports required in Section 2.2(4) of the Master Reimbursement Agreement, Lender shall determine the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio.
(2) If Lender reasonably decides that changed market or property conditions warrant, Lender shall determine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations.
4
Master Credit Facility Agreement

(3) Lender shall also redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts to take account of any addition, release or substitution of Collateral or other event which invalidates the outstanding determinations.
In determining Valuations, Lender shall use Cap Rates (as such term is defined in the Master Reimbursement Agreement) based on its internal survey and analysis of cap rates for comparable sales in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property, with such adjustments as Lender deems appropriate and without any obligation to use any information provided by Borrower. If Lender is unable to determine a Cap Rate for a Mortgaged Property, Lender shall have the right, not more than once annually, to obtain a market study in order to establish a Cap Rate. Lender shall promptly disclose its determinations to Borrower. Until redetermined, the outstanding Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect.

Mid-America Additions
Article XIII shall be performed without demand by Lender and shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, Note, the Security Instruments, or any other Borrower Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the indebtedness of such Borrower to Lender, any rights or defenses based upon an offset by any Borrower against any obligation now or hereafter owed to such Borrower by any other Borrower, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to this Agreement and the Note which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender's rights against such Borrower under this Article XIII, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of any Borrower Document, notice of the occurrence of any default, potential Event of Default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by any Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness.

(b) At any time or from time to time any number of times, without notice to any Borrower in its capacity as guarantor and without affecting the liability of any Borrower, (a) the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Note may be extended or the Note may be renewed in whole or in part; (b) the time any Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived; (c) the maturity of the Note may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments, or any other Loan Document; (d) the Note, the Security Instruments, or any other Loan Document may be modified or amended by Lender and any Borrower in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount; and (e) and security for the Note may be modified, exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Note.
SECTION 13.03 No Impairment.

SECTION 13.04 No Subrogation. No Borrower shall have the right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation contribution, indemnity or reimbursement against any other Borrower or any General Partner of any other Borrower by reason of any payment by such Borrower under this Article XIII, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute or otherwise, until the Obligations have been paid in full.
SECTION 13.05 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that in the event that, notwithstanding Section 13.04 hereof, to the extent its agreement and waiver set forth in Section 13.04 is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason and such Borrower has any subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower by virtue of this Article XIII, any such claims, direct or indirect, that such Borrower may have by subrogation rights or other form of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, against any other Borrower or to any security or any such Borrower pursuant to this Article XIII, shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations. Until payment and performance in full with interest (including post-petition interest in any case under the Bankruptcy Code) of the Obligations, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of any such subrogation rights arising by virtue of payments made pursuant to this Article XIII, and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization.

Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way affect or impair the rights or obligations of any Borrower with respect to any other Borrower.
(b) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its rights 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 or any rights of subrogation which each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender.
24
Master Credit Facility Agreement
Mid-America Additions
Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of 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 any of 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 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 amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 13.06, 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 any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
SECTION 13.07 Subordination of Other Obligations.

In all such cases, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claims shall pay to Lender the full amount thereof and Lender agrees to pay such Borrower any amounts received in excess of the amount necessary to pay the Obligations. Such Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all of such Borrower’s rights to all such payments to which such Borrower would otherwise be entitled but not to exceed the full amount of the Obligations.

In addition, each other Borrower shall pay, or reimburse Lender for, all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and related disbursements) incurred by Lender in the defense of any claim that a payment received by Lender in respect of all or any part of the Obligations must be refunded. The provisions of this Section 13.09 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and any

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents exceed the limitations imposed under any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined), then such liability of such Borrower shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement or all the other Loan Documents subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of indebtedness to any other Borrower or any other Person that is an Affiliate of the other Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Borrower in respect of the Obligations) and after giving effect (as assets) to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement including the Contribution Agreement.
SECTION 13.11 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Borrower under this Article XIII is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations of any other Borrower.
