ANNUAL COUPON RATE"), Discount (if the Advance is a Revolving Facility
Advance), Price and Closing Date for the Advance.
SECTION 2.03(c) RATE CONFIRMATION. Within one Business Day
after receipt of the completed and executed Rate Setting Form, the
Lender shall solicit bids from institutional investors selected by the
Lender based on the information in the Rate Setting Form and, provided
the actual Coupon Rate is at or below the Maximum Annual Coupon Rate,
shall obtain a commitment for the purchase of a Xxxxxx Mae MBS having
the characteristics described in the related Rate Setting Form, and
shall immediately deliver to the Borrowers or the Property Company, as
the case may be, by facsimile transmission a completed document, in the
form attached as EXHIBIT Q-1 OR Q-2 to this Agreement (the "RATE
CONFIRMATION FORM"), as the case may be, confirming the amount, term,
MBS Issue Date, MBS Delivery Date, Coupon Rate, the Discount (if the
Advance is a Revolving Facility Advance), Price and Closing Date for
the Advance.
SECTION 2.03(d) COUPON RATE.
SECTION 2.03(d)(1) GENERAL. Except as otherwise
provided in paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), the Coupon Rate for
the Advance shall be the per annum rate equal to the sum of
(i) the MBS Pass-Through Rate for the Advance selected on the
Rate Setting Date, and (ii) with respect to a Base Facility
Advance, the Fee Spread for the Base Facility Advance, or,
with respect to a Revolving Facility Advance, the Fee Spread
for the Revolving Facility Advance.
SECTION 2.03(d)(2) CONVERSION. In the event the Base
Facility Credit Commitment increases pursuant to a conversion
of the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment under Article V,
the Coupon Rate for any Base Facility Advance which is
allocable to the increase shall equal the sum of (i) the MBS
Pass-Through Rate for the Advance
34
46
selected on the Rate Setting Date, and (ii) 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
49 basis points. The number of basis points determined under
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be the Fee Spread
for such Advance.
SECTION 2.03(d)(3) INCREASE IN MAXIMUM CREDIT
COMMITMENT. In the event the Base Facility Credit Commitment
or the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment increases pursuant
to an increase in the Maximum Credit Commitment under Article
VIII, the Coupon Rate for any Base Facility Advance or
Revolving Facility Advance which is allocable to the increase
shall equal the sum of (i) the MBS Pass-Through Rate for the
Advance selected on the Rate Setting Date, and (ii) a number
of basis points determined by the Lender at the time of the
increase in the Maximum Credit Commitment. The number of basis
points determined under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
shall be the Fee Spread for such Advance.
SECTION 2.03(d)(4) 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,
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 a rate determined by the Lender, based on the
Lender's cost of funds, and approved in advance, in writing,
by the Borrowers, pursuant to procedures mutually agreed upon
by the Borrowers and the Lender.
SECTION 2.03(e) ADVANCE CONFIRMATION INSTRUMENT. On or before
the Closing Date for a Revolving Facility Advance, the Property Company

Date, Coupon Rate, Discount, Price and Closing Date for the Advance,
and the obligation of the Property Company to repay the Revolving
Facility Advance in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Facility
Note and this Agreement.
SECTION 2.04. SPECIAL AMORTIZATION REQUIREMENTS IF AGGREGATE DEBT
SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO FOR ADVANCES OUTSTANDING FOR THE TRAILING 12 MONTH PERIOD
IS LESS THAN 125%. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement the
Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Advances Outstanding is less than
125%, then, until such time as the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Advances Outstanding is equal to or greater than 125%, the following provisions
shall apply at the Lender's option:
35
47
(a) the Property Company shall pay principal amortization on
the Revolving Facility Advances, payable on the first day of each
calendar month (commencing with the calendar month following the
calendar month in which the Property Company receives a notice from the
Lender stating that the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Advance Outstanding is less than 125%), in an amount equal to $600,000
per month; and
(b) the Maximum Credit Commitment and the Revolving Facility
Credit Commitment shall each be reduced, as of the first day of each
calendar month (commencing with the calendar month following the
calendar month in which the Property Company receives a notice from the
Lender stating that the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Advance Outstanding is less than 125%), in an amount equal to $600,000
per month.
If, on the date on which the Property Company pays the principal amortization,
no Revolving Facility Advances are then due and payable, the Lender shall hold
the payments in an interest-bearing account in a financial institution selected
by the Property Company and approved by the Lender, as additional Collateral for
the Credit Facility, until the next date on which Revolving Facility Advances
are due and payable, at which time the Lender shall apply the amounts, including
accrued interest, held by it to the amounts of the Revolving Facility Advances
due and payable. If, at any time during the period in which the Property Company
is paying principal amortization under this Section, there are no Revolving
Facility Advances Outstanding, the principal amortization shall be paid by the
Borrowers and applied against the Base Facility Advances Outstanding, and the
Base Facility Credit Commitment shall be reduced by such amount. If the
Revolving Facility Credit Commitment is reduced pursuant to this Section and,
thereafter, the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Advances
Outstanding is equal to or greater than 125%, the Revolving Facility Credit
Commitment shall be increased by the amount by which it had previously been
reduced under this Section. If the Base Facility Credit Commitment is reduced
pursuant to this Section, it shall not thereafter be increased except in
accordance with the express terms of Article V, Section 6.05 or Article VIII.
SECTION 2.05. INCREASE IN MAXIMUM CREDIT COMMITMENT AND REVOLVING
FACILITY CREDIT COMMITMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, although the Credit Facility that has been established will continue
to be a $375,000,000 Credit Facility, the Maximum Credit Commitment and the
Revolving Facility Credit Commitment shall each be $5,000,000 less than it would
otherwise be in the absence of this Section 2.05, until the date on which the
Borrowers have satisfied each of the following conditions (collectively, the
"INCREASE CONDITIONS"):
36
48
(a) the Capital Improvements Plan is completed;
(b) the Aggregate Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Trailing 12 Month Period is not less than 150%;
(c) the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio for the Trailing 12 Month
Period is not greater than 68%;
(d) the average occupancy rate for the Trailing Three Month Period
for the Mortgaged Property described on Exhibit A- 1 as TC-Fox
Haven (the "FOX HAVEN PROPERTY") is at least 89%;
(e) the product obtained by multiplying--
(i) the aggregate Gross Revenues for the
Trailing Three Month Period for the Fox
Haven Property, by
(ii) four,
is at least $2,408,496;
(f) the average occupancy rate for the Trailing Three Month Period
for the Mortgaged Property described on Exhibit A- 1 as
TC-Woodmoor (the "WOODMOOR PROPERTY") is at least 89%; and
(g) the product obtained by multiplying--
(i) the aggregate Gross Revenues for the
Trailing Three Month Period for the Woodmoor
Property, by
(ii) four,
is at least $2,109,311.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one or more of the conditions set
forth in subsections (d) to (g) are not satisfied, such condition or
conditions shall nevertheless be deemed satisfied if the Borrowers or
Owners grant the Lender additional Collateral in kind and amount
acceptable to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.
SECTION 2.06 CROSS-DEFAULT AND CROSS-REMEDY. While each Note represents
a separate and independent obligation of each Borrower, the Borrowers
nevertheless agree that if any Borrower fails to pay fully, when due, any amount
payable under any Note or any other Loan Document, then the Lender may elect to
treat such default with respect to such Note or other Loan Document as being a
default under the Note, Guaranty and Security Instruments of each
37
49
other Borrower. It is a material part of the consideration for the Lender's
execution and delivery of this Agreement that there cannot occur an Event of
Default with respect to one TC Party or one Mortgaged Property or under one Note
or other Loan Document, without the occurrence of such Event of Default
constituting, and resulting in, an Event of Default with respect to all TC
Parties, all Mortgaged Properties, all Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Accordingly, the Borrowers expressly agree that irrespective of the
actual payments made by any of them under the Notes, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, if the aggregate amount actually paid is not sufficient to pay
fully and timely all such Obligations, then an Event of Default shall be deemed
to exist as to all of the Loan Documents of all TC Parties, notwithstanding that
the amount paid was sufficient to pay fully some but not all of the amounts then
due and owing with respect to the Notes or other Obligations. Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to prohibit one TC Party from paying or performing
Obligations on behalf of another TC Party or limit in any way the liability of
any TC Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

the Trailing 12 Month Period by the Initial 12 Month
Valuation of the Additional Mortgaged Property (and,
in such event, the Base Facility Notes bearing the
increase shall be amended, in a manner acceptable to

Advance shall accrue interest at a different Coupon
Rate from the interest rate for the Base Facility
Notes delivered on the Initial Closing Date);
SECTION 6.05(b) the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment shall be
increased by the lesser of (i) the aggregate net

obtained by multiplying the Maximum Aggregate Loan to
Value Ratio for the Trailing 12 Month Period by the
Initial 12 Month Valuation of the Additional
Mortgaged Property; and

increased under paragraph (a) above, over (ii) the
amount by which the Revolving Facility Credit
Commitment has been increased pursuant to paragraph
(b) above.

Reserve. If determined necessary by the Lender, after review

to the Replacement Reserve shall be adjusted, so that the
monthly deposit to the Replacement Reserve will create a
Replacement Reserve that will, in the Lender's
76
88
determination, be sufficient to meet required
Replacements for the Mortgaged Properties.
(3) Promptly, and in any event within 60 days, after
the end of each calendar quarter, the Owners shall deliver to

this Agreement which accurately sets forth the disbursements

other material aspect of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

and place such amounts in a deposit account in a financial

$12,500,000 towards capital improvements under the Capital
Improvements Plan on or before September 30, 1998. In the

perform all of the capital improvements specified in the
Capital Improvements Plan, the Property Company shall pay, or
cause the Owners to pay, from their own funds, all amounts
necessary to complete the capital improvements specified in
the Capital Improvements Plan. Changes in the Capital
Improvements Plan may be made with the Lender's prior written
consent (except that no consent shall be required for changes
in the category of the Capital Improvements Plan entitled
"Discretionary Repairs").
(3) The Property Company shall provide quarterly
certificates to the Lender detailing the progress of the
Capital Improvements Plan and the Lender shall have the right
to inspect such progress. The Property Company shall pay, or
cause the Owners to pay, all reasonable expenses of (a) any
engineer retained by the Lender to make such inspections,

be required to pay such expenses for one such inspection
after the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and

incurred by the Lender in connection with the inspections
(including the expenses of the engineer described above, but
subject to the limitations on the payment of such expenses).
(4) The Capital Improvements Fund shall be in
addition to, and not in replacement of, any replacement
reserves for the Mortgaged Properties established in
accordance with the Replacement Reserve Agreement for the
Mortgaged Properties.
(5) If, as a result of labor disputes, fire, unusual
delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes
beyond the Owner's reasonable control, or by other causes
which the Lender, in its reasonable judgment, determines may
justify delay, the Property Company or the Owner, as the case
may be, is delayed in completing the capital improvements
specified in the Capital Improvements Plan, then the period
of time within which the Property Company or the Owner, as
the case may be, shall be obligated to complete such capital
improvements shall be extended by the period of such delay.

Lender shall also endeavor to give to the Institutional Lender a
simultaneous copy of the notice. The undertaking may be conditioned
upon the receipt by the Lender of a written confirmation by the TC
Parties and the Institutional Lender that the failure of the Lender to
give such notices shall not (i) constitute a default under the Loan
Documents, (ii) give rise to any claim whatsoever by the TC Parties or
the Institutional Lender against the Lender or (iii) invalidate or
otherwise affect the efficacy of any notice given by the Lender to any
TC Party.
SECTION 13.08(d) INSURANCE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT. Notwithstanding the

Mortgaged Property has led to a claim of less than $500,000 and (ii) no Event
of Default then exists, the Lender shall not exercise the power of attorney
granted thereby, and an Owner may make proof of loss, adjust and compromise
claims, oppose and prosecute actions relating to the casualty insurance policy
in question and collect and receive the insurance proceeds in question.

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)
106
118
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 Owners
and approved by the Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and the amounts in the Insurance Escrow Fund shall be
invested by the Lender in Permitted Investments selected by the Lender. All
earnings on such Permitted Investments shall be added to, and become a part of,
the Insurance Escrow Fund.
SECTION 19.02. TAXES.
SECTION 19.02(a) ESCROW. A fund (the "TAX ESCROW FUND")for the
aggregate amount of yearly water and sewer rates and taxes and assessments
("REAL ESTATE TAXES") which may be levied on the Mortgaged Properties shall be
required to be established with the Lender pursuant to this Article XIX. The
Lender shall establish the Tax Escrow Fund in a deposit account with a
financial institution selected by the Owners and approved by the Lender, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the
amounts in the Tax Escrow Fund shall be invested by the Lender in Permitted
Investments selected by the Lender. All earnings on such Permitted Investments
shall be added to, and become a part of, the Tax Escrow Fund.
SECTION 19.02(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 the Tax Escrow Fund is
held by the Lender, the Owners may, upon notice to the Lender, elect
to substitute for the Tax Escrow Fund a Letter of Credit (as defined
below) in accordance with this subsection, in which event the Lender
shall return the Tax Escrow Fund 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
Real Estate 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 Fund, in which event the Owners shall deliver to the Lender, in
cash, the amount of the Tax Escrow Fund 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 Fund. 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 Fund (the
107
119
"MAXIMUM ESCROW AMOUNT"), if one 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) in connection with the Lender's
making the loans evidenced by the Notes to the Owners, 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 19.02(c) LETTER OF CREDIT AS ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL.
The TC 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 19.02(d) CONDITIONS FOR PROVIDING AND HOLDING LETTER
OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.02(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.
SECTION 19.02(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
108
120
the Security Instruments following payment in full of all
amounts secured by the Security Instruments.
SECTION 19.02(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 and to the extent, if any, as provided in the Notes.
SECTION 19.02(d)(4) ADJUSTMENT OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT. The
Owners shall deliver to the Lender copies of the bills and notices of
assessments for Real Estate Taxes for the Mortgaged Properties.
Promptly upon the Owners' receipt of each yearly xxxx of Real Estate
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 Lender on the basis of assessments and bills and
reasonable estimates thereof.
SECTION 19.02(e) RENEWAL OR REPLACEMENT OF LETTER OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.02(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)
be in compliance with the requirements for letters of credit
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 19.02(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
109
121
bank does not meet the 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 19.02(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
Borrowers' failure to comply with said paragraphs (1) and
(2).
SECTION 19.02(f) DEFAULT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 19.02(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 and hold it 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 (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
110
122
under any of the Loan Documents (including this
Section).
SECTION 19.02(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.
SECTION 19.02(g) PROCEEDS OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT.
SECTION 19.02(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 19.02(g)(2) PROCEEDS HELD IN TAX ESCROW FUND ACCOUNT.
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 Fund account.
SECTION 19.02(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
of the proceeds as permitted by this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents and hold any remaining proceeds until the date for return
determined under paragraph (d)(2).
SECTION 19.03 FUNDS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.
In the event an Insurance Escrow Fund or a Tax Escrow Fund is required under
the terms of this Article XIX, the following provisions shall apply:
SECTION 19.03(a) Subject to applicable law, the Owners
shall pay to the Lender on the first day of each calendar
111
123
month (or on another day designated in writing by the Lender), until
the Insurance Escrow Fund and Tax Escrow Fund are no longer required
under the Loan Documents, a sum (herein "FUNDS") equal to one-twelfth
of (1) if a Tax Escrow Fund is required, the Real Estate Taxes which
may be levied on the Mortgaged Properties and (2) if an Insurance
Escrow Fund is required, the Insurance Premiums or insurance
deductibles (either, an "INSURANCE PAYMENT"), whichever is required by
the Loan Documents. The Lender may require the Owners to pay to the
Lender, in advance, such other Funds for other taxes, charges,
premiums, assessments and impositions in connection with the Owners or
the Mortgaged Properties to the extent such taxes, charges, premiums,
assessments or impositions constitute an encumbrance on a Mortgaged
Property with priority over the Security Instruments on the Mortgaged
Property (herein "OTHER IMPOSITIONS"). Unless otherwise provided by
applicable law, the Lender may require Funds for Other Impositions to
be paid by the Owners in a lump sum or in periodic installments, at
the Lender's option.
SECTION 19.03(b) The Lender shall apply the Funds to pay the
Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums or Other Impositions, as the
case may be, so long as no Event of Default has occurred. The Lender
shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing
said account or for verifying and compiling said assessments and
bills, unless the Lender pays the Owners interest, earnings or profits
on the Funds and applicable law permits the Lender to make such a
charge. The Lender shall give to the Owners, without charge, an annual
accounting of the Funds in the Lender's normal format showing credits
and debits to the Funds and the purpose for which each debit to the
Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the
sums secured by the Security Instruments.
SECTION 19.03(c) If the amount of the Funds held in the Tax
Escrow Fund and the Insurance Escrow Fund at the time of the annual
accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by the
Lender to provide for the payment of any Insurance Premiums (if an
Insurance Escrow Fund is required), Real Estate Taxes (if a Tax Escrow
Fund is required) and Other Impositions (if either an Insurance Escrow
Fund or a Tax Escrow Fund is required), as they fall due, such excess
shall be credited to the Owners on the next monthly installment or
installments of Funds due. If at any time the amount of the Funds held
in the Tax Escrow Fund and the Insurance Escrow Fund shall be less
than the amount deemed necessary by the Lender to pay such Insurance
Premiums (if an Insurance Escrow Fund is required), Real Estate Taxes
(if a Tax Escrow Fund is required) and Other Impositions (if either an
Insurance Escrow Fund or a Tax Escrow Fund is required) , as they fall
due, the
112
124
Owners shall pay to the Lender any amount necessary to make up the
deficiency within 30 days after notice from the Lender to the Owners
requesting payment thereof.
SECTION 19.03(d) Upon payment in full of all sums secured by
the Loan Documents, the Lender shall promptly refund to the Owners any
Funds held by the Lender.
ARTICLE XX
INTEREST RATE CAPS
SECTION 20.01. CAP REQUIREMENT. The Property Company shall obtain a
Cap as a condition to the issuance of the first Revolving Facility Advance.
Once the Property Company has obtained the Cap, it shall maintain the Cap at
all times thereafter during the Term of this Agreement. The first Cap in effect
under this Agreement shall be for a period commencing not later than the
Closing Date for the first Revolving Facility Advance and ending not earlier
than the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (the "INITIAL CAP
PERIOD"). Effective not later than the last day of the Initial Cap Period, the
Property Company shall obtain a new Cap (the "FINAL CAP") for a period
commencing on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and ending on
the Credit Facility Termination Date.
SECTION 20.02. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Each Cap shall:
(a) be obtained on terms and conditions approved by the
Lender;
(b) be evidenced and governed by Cap Documents in form and
substance acceptable to the Lender;
(c) be with a Counterparty acceptable to the Lender;
(d) provide for a notional principal amount equal at all times to
the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment;
(e) provide for a notional interest rate equal to the Three Month
Libor Rate in effect from time to time;
(f) require the Counterparty to make interest payments on the
notional principal amount at a rate equal to the amount by
which the notional interest rate payable under the terms of
the Cap Documents exceeds the Underwriting Rate; and
113
125
(g) require the Counterparty to make such interest payments to an
account pledged to the Lender pursuant to the Cap Security
Agreement.
If the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment increases in accordance with the
terms of Article VIII, the Property Company shall obtain, and maintain at all
times during the Term of this Agreement, an additional Cap, meeting all of the
requirements of this Article, with a notional principal amount equal to the
amount of the increase. If the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment decreases
in accordance with the provisions of Articles V, IX or X, the Property Company
may amend the Cap to provide for a decrease in the notional amount to an amount
equal to the Revolving Facility Credit Commitment, provided that the Lender
gives its prior written approval to the documents reflecting the amendment. The
Property Company shall obtain and maintain each Cap or additional Cap under
this Agreement at its sole cost and expense.
SECTION 20.03. ESCROW PROVISIONS.
SECTION 20.03(a) MONTHLY CAP ESCROW PAYMENT. Until the Property
Company obtains the Final Cap, the Property Company shall, on each date that a
payment of interest is due under the Base Facility Notes, deposit with the
Lender the Monthly Cap Escrow Payment. The "MONTHLY CAP ESCROW PAYMENT" means,
with respect to each Cap Year, an amount equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing --
(1) the excess of --
(i) 125% of the cost, as estimated by the
Lender, to obtain the Final Cap, over
(ii) the amount in the Cap Escrow Fund on the
date immediately preceding the commencement
of the Cap Year; by
(2) the number of full months then remaining in the Initial
Cap Period, as of the date immediately preceding the commencement of
such Cap Year.
At least 10 days before the commencement of each Cap Year, the Lender shall
give the Property Company notice of the estimate under Section 20.03(a)(1)(i)
and the amount of the Monthly Cap Escrow Payments for such Cap Year.
SECTION 20.03(b) CAP ESCROW FUND. The Lender shall establish an escrow
fund (the "CAP ESCROW FUND") and shall deposit each Monthly Cap Escrow Payment
into the Cap Escrow Fund. The Cap Escrow Fund shall be placed in a deposit
account with a financial institution selected by the Property Company and
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and shall be invested by the Lender in
114
126
Permitted Investments selected by the Lender. All earnings on such Permitted
Investments shall be added to, and become a part of, the Cap Escrow Fund. The
Property Company hereby pledges and assigns to the Lender, and grants a lien
and security interest in, and right of setoff against, any right, title and
interest it may have in and to the Cap Escrow Fund. At the Lender's request,
the Property Company shall cause the financial institution holding the Cap
Escrow Fund to execute and deliver a Restricted Account Letter in form and
substance similar to that signed with respect to the pledged account maintained
under the Cap Security Agreement. In lieu of the Cap Escrow Fund, the Property
Company may deliver to the Lender an irrevocable Letter of Credit meeting all
of the terms set forth in Section 19.02(b)-(f), except that the amount of the
Letter of Credit during each Cap Year shall at all times be equal to the amount
which would otherwise have been required to be in the Cap Escrow Fund at the
end of such Cap Year, and the Property Company shall deliver a new Letter of
Credit (or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit) on or before the
first day of each Cap Year, amending the amount of the Letter of Credit.
Provided no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has then occurred
and is continuing, the Letter of Credit or Cap Escrow Fund shall be returned to
the Property Company within 30 days after the date on which the Property
Company obtains the Final Cap and delivers the Final Cap to the Lender or its
designee.

Mortgaged Property with a Recourse Lien, then an Event of Default hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have occurred, and if any

and the other Loan Documents.

law, no limited partner of the Operating Partnership and no holder of
beneficial interests in the REIT shall be liable in any respect for the payment
of any amounts or the performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents,
but the foregoing limitation on the liability of such limited partner or holder
shall not preclude the Lender from holding such parties liable (A) to the
extent of fraud or other tortious conduct committed by such limited partner or
holder personally, and (B) to the extent of distributions or other amounts
received by such limited partner or holder which, as a matter of federal or
applicable state law, constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent

SECTION 22.04. PAYMENT PROCEDURE. All payments to be made to the

SECTION 22.05. PAYMENTS ON BUSINESS DAYS. In any case in
which the date of payment to the Lender or the expiration of any
119
131
time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such

be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as
if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period, except that
interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to the next
Business Day.
SECTION 22.06 CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE NOTES, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS OR ANY
OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, EACH OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS,
AND RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH BORROWER UNDER THE NOTES, AND EACH TC PARTY
UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
MARYLAND (EXCLUDING THE LAW APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW) EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO 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 JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS
LOCATED. THE TC PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY ARISING UNDER OR IN RELATION
TO THE NOTES, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE,
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, LITIGATED IN MARYLAND. THE LOCAL AND
FEDERAL COURTS AND AUTHORITIES WITH JURISDICTION IN MARYLAND 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 INSTRUMENTS OR ANY OTHER ISSUE ARISING UNDER, RELATING
TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH TC PARTY IRREVOCABLY
CONSENTS TO SERVICE, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR ANY LITIGATION
ARISING FROM THE NOTES, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, AND 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 TC 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 MARYLAND SHALL GOVERN THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE TC PARTIES AND THE LENDER AS PROVIDED HEREIN OR
THE SUBMISSION HEREIN BY THE TC PARTIES TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION WITHIN
MARYLAND. EACH TC 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 TC PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT
120
132
LIMITED TO, LENDER'S COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO EACH
TC PARTY THAT LENDER WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION.
THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS WERE KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO BY
THE TC PARTIES UPON CONSULTATION WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE
TC PARTIES' FREE WILL.
SECTION 22.07. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this
Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent

other provision hereof.

to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 22.13. GENERAL INTERPRETIVE PRINCIPLES. For purposes of this
Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context
otherwise requires, (i) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings
assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the
singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other
genders (and thus, for example, references to the Original Owners' First
Mortgages shall refer to the aggregate of each Original Owner's First
Mortgage); (ii) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them in accordance with GAAP; (iii) references herein to
"Articles," "Sections," "subsections," "paragraphs" and other subdivisions
without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections,
subsections, paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement; (iv) a
reference to a subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference
to such subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference
appears, and this rule shall also apply to paragraphs and other subdivisions;
(v) a reference to an Exhibit or a Schedule without a further reference to the
document to which the Exhibit or Schedule is attached is a reference to an
Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement; (vi) the words "herein," "hereof,"
"hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular provision; and (vii) the word "including" means
"including, but not limited to."
SECTION 22.14. INTERPRETATION. The parties hereto acknowledge that
each party and their respective counsel have participated in the drafting and
revision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Accordingly, the parties
agree that any rule of construction which disfavors the drafting party shall
not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement and the Loan Documents or any
amendment or supplement or exhibit hereto or thereto.
SECTION 22.15. STANDARDS FOR DECISIONS, ETC. If the Lender's approval
is required for any matter hereunder, unless expressly qualified otherwise,
such approval may be granted or withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute
discretion. If the Lender's designation, determination, selection, estimate,

123
135
expressly qualified otherwise, such designation, determination, selection,
estimate, action or decision shall be made in the Lender's sole and absolute
discretion.
SECTION 22.16. DECISIONS IN WRITING. Any approval, designation,
determination, selection, action or decision of the Lender must be in writing
to be effective.
SECTION 22.17. (Intentionally omitted.)

filed with the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland,
provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of the REIT

to this Agreement, all of the notes, security documents, and other loan
documents which are purchased by the Lender from Funding Corp. and First
National shall be superceded by the Loan Documents in their entirety and shall
be of no further force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the extent, if any, that any purchased document is not described
in any of Recitals A through H to this Agreement, inclusive, or is not
expressly amended and restated by one or more of the Loan Documents, such
purchased document shall be deemed waived and released by, as the case may be,
the Lender and the TC Party which was a party thereto, of no further force and
effect, and no longer an obligation or liability of the Lender or of the TC
Party which was the obligor thereunder.
SECTION 22.21 RECORDATION TAX INDEMNITY. The TC Parties agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the trustees, if any, named in the second priority
indemnity Security Instruments and their successors in the trusts, and the
Lender, Xxxxxx Mae and their respective shareholders, directors, officers,
agents, employees and servicers (all hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Indemnitees") of and from any and all claims, debts, demands, rights,
liabilities, actions and causes of action of whatsoever kind and nature and all
costs and expenses arising out of or relating thereto (including attorneys'
fees and disbursements) which any Governmental Authority or other Person has or
may have against the Indemnitees on account of, or because of, the failure
124
136
to pay in full all recordation, documentary or similar taxes, if any, that may
be due because of the establishment and implementation of the Credit Facility,
the execution, delivery or recordation of the second priority indemnity
Security Instruments or the execution or delivery of the Guaranties or
otherwise arising out of the loan transaction and all interest, penalties and
fines that may be or may become due. The Indemnitees may, at the cost of the TC
Parties, defend all claims made that are or may be covered by this Section
unless the TC Parties retain counsel acceptable to the Indemnitees.
SECTION 22.22 SALE OF LOAN DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH REFINANCING.
The Lender agrees that upon satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement or earlier termination of this
Agreement, it shall, upon request by the Borrowers, and pursuant to documents
acceptable to the Lender, transfer all of its right, title and interest in and
to the Collateral and the Loan Documents, without recourse, representation or
warranty, to any party designated by the Borrowers, provided that the Borrowers
pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the
transfer, including any attorneys' fees and any applicable recordation or other
taxes or charges.
