repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the

balance of the Note pertaining to such Property (based on the Allocated Loan

limitation, the Insurance Policies required pursuant to SECTION 6.1. Borrower
has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any

agrees that, without the prior consent of Lender, at no time during the term of
the Loan shall it do any of the following:
5.2.1. Operation of Properties. Borrower shall not (i) modify,

leases, licenses or restrictive covenants which from time to time affect or
pertain to the whole or any portion of a Property that may adversely affect the
use or operation of such Property in any material manner, (ii) initiate, join in
or consent to any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance or amendment
thereto, or other public or private restrictions, materially limiting or
materially adversely affecting the uses which may be made of any Property or any
material part thereof, (iii) enter into, modify or amend any Lease for space
located on any Property unless such Lease (or such modification or amendment
thereof) is consistent with normal and prudent business practices pertaining to
comparable leases of space in properties which are similar to the Property in
question and is otherwise consistent with Borrower's usual business practices,
and unless the rent payable thereunder and the other terms of such Lease (or
such modification or amendment) are consistent with prevailing market
conditions, (iv) modify, amend, terminate or enter into any operating agreement,
partnership agreement, joint venture agreement, condominium agreement, ground
lease or, except as otherwise provided herein, any property agreement relating
to any Property, or (v) terminate any Lease for space located in any Property
other than in accordance with normal and prudent business practices; provided,
however, Borrower shall not terminate any Lease if such termination is likely to
result in any ongoing material impairment of the value of any Property.
5.2.2. Further Encumbrance or Sale. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Section 5.2, Borrower shall not further encumber, sell, transfer or
convey or permit to be further encumbered, sold, transferred or conveyed any
Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein) or any direct or indirect
interest in Borrower (or in any of Borrower's members) which would violate the
ownership covenants set forth in Section 5.1.12 hereof. Borrower shall
-35-
not create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist any lien on any portion of
any Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein) or legal or beneficial
ownership interest in Borrower (or in any of Borrower's members), subject to
Borrower's right to contest such liens as provided herein. Except as otherwise
expressly provided to the contrary in the Loan Documents, no part of the
Properties nor any interest of any nature whatsoever therein (whether legal or
beneficial or whether held directly or indirectly), nor any interest of any
nature whatsoever in Borrower (whether partnership, stock, equity, beneficial,
profit, loss or otherwise or whether held directly or indirectly), shall in any
manner be further encumbered, sold, transferred, assigned or conveyed without
the prior consent of Lender (other than indirect transfers of partnership,
stock, equity or beneficial interests which would not violate the ownership
covenants set forth in Section 5.1.12 hereof), which consent in any and all
circumstances may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. The
provisions of the foregoing sentence of this subsection shall apply to each and
every such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance,
regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to, or waived by its action or
inaction its rights hereunder with respect to, any such previous further
encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, and irrespective of
whether such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance is
voluntary, by reason of operation of law or is otherwise made. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) Borrower shall have the right to sell obsolete equipment or
the individual manager's home located at a particular Property, provided that
any such equipment or individual manager's home which is necessary for the
continued operation and management of the Property shall be replaced by
equipment or a home, as the case may be, of adequate quality, (ii) Borrower may
grant utility easements so long as the granting of such easement(s) is to an
unaffiliated third party for the sole purpose of allowing or otherwise providing
for utility service to the Property and does not materially impair its ability
to operate the property or encroach upon any improvements on the Property (iii)
ownership interests in ARC MEZZ may be transferred provided that, following such
transfer, ARC shall retain not less than a 51% ownership interest in ARC MEZZ
and shall be the sole managing member having the right to control day to day and
general management decisions of such entity, (iv) the "Class A" membership
interests in ARC may be transferred to a Qualified Transferee or to ARC IV or an
Affiliate of ARC IV, and (v) GMAC or a Qualified Transferee may become the
managing member of ARC and the "Class B" membership interests in ARC may be
transferred to GMAC or a Qualified Transferee which is the holder of the "Class
A" membership interests, provided that GMAC or such Qualified Transferee shall
then be the managing member of ARC as permitted herein.
5.2.3. Governing Documents. Except at the request of Lender,
Borrower shall not modify or amend any provision of its organizational documents
which relates to Borrower's Single-Purpose nature, nor modify or amend in any
material manner any other provision of its organizational documents.

business or activity other than the ownership, operation or management of the
Properties.

any transaction of merger or consolidation, or sell or otherwise dispose of all
or any part of its property or assets having a value in excess of $50,000, (c)
acquire any assets having a value in excess of $50,000
-36-
per Property per year if such assets do not enhance or improve the value of the
Property, or (d) acquire any assets having a value in excess of $50,000, except
for capital improvements contained in the Capital Improvement Plans approved by
Lender or otherwise permitted under this Agreement and manufactured home
community properties financed with Loans made under this Agreement or under a
separate facility extended by Lender as permitted hereunder.
5.2.6. Indebtedness. Borrower shall not incur, either directly or
as a guarantor, any liability (whether recourse or non-recourse) for the payment
of any indebtedness other than (i) the Debt, (ii) trade payables incurred in the
ordinary course of operating Borrower's business, provided that each such amount
shall be paid to trade creditors within sixty (60) days following the date on
which each such amount was incurred unless validly contested and (iii) current
liabilities for taxes and assessments incurred or arising in the ordinary course
of business.
5.2.7. Assignment. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement by
agreement, operation of law or otherwise, or the moneys to be advanced and
disbursed hereunder.

it to become an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or
a "governmental plan" as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or a "plan" as
defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, or its assets to
become "plan assets" as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
5.2.9. Waste. Borrower shall not commit or suffer to be committed
any material waste with respect to any Property. The failure of Borrower to pay
any Taxes or any installment thereof, or any Insurance Premiums payable with
respect to any of the Insurance Policies covering the Properties or any portion
thereof, or to use and apply the Rents strictly in accordance with the
provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute
waste, regardless of whether the same would, in the absence of this provision,
otherwise constitute waste under applicable law.
5.2.10. Property Management. Borrower shall not modify, amend,
terminate or enter into any management or operating agreement with respect to
any Property, or waive any material provisions of any such management operating
agreement.
5.2.11. Distributions. Borrower shall not declare or make any
distribution of any property, cash or rights, or purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire for value any of its membership interests now or hereafter outstanding,
or advance funds to the holder of any of its membership interests now or
hereafter outstanding; provided, however, that Borrower shall be permitted to
distribute funds in the Operating Account in excess of amounts required for
Borrower to pay its liabilities and obligations on a current basis and amounts
deposited in the Investor Account established under the Cash Management
Agreement in accordance with the terms of such agreement shall be deemed
directly distributed to ARC, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. The provisions of the operating agreement of Borrower
restricting affiliate payments and the payment of salaries and compensation
shall not be amended or modified without the consent of Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably
-37-
withheld. In no event shall Borrower have the right to declare or make any
distribution of any property, cash or rights, or purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire for value any of its membership interests now or hereafter outstanding,
or advance funds to the holder of any of its membership interests now or
hereafter outstanding if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
5.2.12. Affiliate Transactions. Borrower shall not enter into, or
be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the
partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms no
less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a
comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party. Borrower
shall not enter into leases for more than 20% of its home pads (in the
aggregate) with Affiliates of Borrower without the prior written consent of
Lender. Borrower shall cause all leases relating to leasing any portion of the
Property to any Affiliate of Borrower to be entered into on the then current
market terms.
ARTICLE VI.
INSURANCE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
SECTION 6.1. Insurance Coverage. Borrower will insure the Properties
against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts and with such limits as
Lender may from time to time reasonably require, and in any event will
continuously maintain with respect to each of the Properties, without cost to
Lender, the insurance described in EXHIBIT U of this Agreement (collectively,
the "INSURANCE POLICIES"). All Insurance Policies shall be in form, issued by
companies, in amounts and with deductibles satisfactory to Lender from time to
time and shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan without cost to
Lender. An insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance
company (a) has a Standard & Poor's rating of "AA" or better or Xxxxx'x Aa2 or
better; (b) is licensed in the State in which the insured Property is located;
(c) has actively been in business for at least five (5) years; (d) if it is a
mutual company, is a nonassessable company; and (e) does not provide insurance
on any one building in excess of ten (10%) percent of its policyholders' surplus
(including capital). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby approves
American Modern Lloyd's as a satisfactory insurance company provided American
Modern Lloyd's shall continue to maintain a Best's rating of "AVIII" or better
and a Standard & Poor's rating of "A" or better. All Insurance Policies insuring
against casualty and business interruption and other appropriate policies shall
include non-contributing mortgagee endorsements in favor of Lender with loss
payable to Lender, as well as standard waiver of subrogation endorsements, and
shall provide that the coverage shall not be terminated or modified, nor a risk
changed without thirty (30) days' advance written notice to Lender. A verified
copy of each Insurance Policy shall be delivered to Lender. If a blanket policy
is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with an
endorsement indicating that Lender, and its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors
and assigns are additional insureds under such policy in the designated amount.
If any portion of the insured risks are reinsured, the reinsurance policies
shall contain "cut-through" endorsements in form satisfactory to Lender.
Borrower shall pay the premiums for the Insurance Policies (the "INSURANCE
PREMIUMS") as the same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver all
Insurance Policies to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire,
Borrower will
-38-
deliver renewal or replacement policies to Lender not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the date of expiration. The foregoing requirements of this Section
shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by Borrower
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance
Policies. If any Insurance Policy or part thereof shall expire or be withdrawn
or become void by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital of any
company in which the insurance shall be carried, or if at any time Lender is not
in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in force
and effect or if the Borrower fails to obtain the insurance as required in
EXHIBIT U and/or as is otherwise set forth herein, Lender shall have the
absolute and unconditional right without prior notice to Borrower to take such
action as Lender deems necessary to protect the interest of Lender in the
Properties, including without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance
coverage as set forth herein, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with such action or by Lender in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in
effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand together with interest
thereon at the Default Rate. Borrower shall at all times comply with and shall
cause the Properties, and the use, occupancy, operation, maintenance,
alteration, repair and restoration thereof to comply with the terms, conditions,
stipulations and requirements of the Insurance Policies. If any building
improvement on any Property, or any portion thereof, is located in a Federally
designated flood hazard area other than Zone C or Zone X, in addition to the
other Insurance Policies required under this paragraph, a flood insurance policy
shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender with respect thereto. If no portion of
a Property is located in a Federally designated "special flood hazard area" such
fact shall be substantiated by a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender from
a licensed surveyor, appraiser or professional engineer or other qualified
individual.
6.1.1. Damage or Destruction. If any Property shall be damaged or
destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other property hazard or casualty,
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender and one hundred (100%)
percent of the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender or
Borrower as a result of such damage or destruction after deduction of reasonable
costs and the expenses, if any, in collecting the same, shall be applied in
reduction of the outstanding Principal Balance under the Note pertaining to the
Damaged Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if a
particular Property (a "DAMAGED PROPERTY") shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Lender shall, in accordance with
the provisions of this Section hereinafter set forth, make the net amount of all
insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement as a result of such damage or destruction after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same (hereinafter
referred to as the "NET PROCEEDS") available for the repair and restoration of
the Damaged Property, provided that (i) no default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower shall commence the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property, as nearly as possible to the condition
the Damaged Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty,
with such alterations as may be approved by Lender, as soon as reasonably
practicable, and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion,
(iii) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be
incurred with respect to the Damaged Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such fire or other casualty will be covered out of the Net Proceeds or by
Borrower out-of-pocket or with the proceeds, if any, of business interruption or
rental interruption insurance, (iv) Lender shall be satisfied that, within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following
the completion of such repair and restoration of the Damaged Property, the gross
cash flow and the net cash flow of the Damaged Property
-39-
will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating
expenses of the Damaged Property, (v) Lender shall be satisfied that the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property will be completed on or before the
earlier to occur of (w) ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, or (x) the
date on which the business interruption insurance covered by such Borrower shall
expire, (vi) Lender shall be satisfied that all of the terms, covenants and
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will continue to be
complied with during and subsequent to the completion of such repair and
restoration and (vii) Borrower and ARC IV shall execute and deliver to Lender a
completion guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender pursuant to the
provisions of which Borrower and ARC IV shall jointly and severally guaranty to
Lender the lien-free completion of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The Net Proceeds
shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account, and until disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, shall constitute additional
security for the payment of the Debt. The Net Proceeds together with interest
earned thereon, shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower
from time to time during the course of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender (which evidence shall
in each instance and to the full extent required by Lender include receipted
bills, invoices, lien waivers and a continuation and date down of title to the
Damaged Property in form satisfactory to Lender and issued by the title company
insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering such Property or another title
company satisfactory to Lender) that (i) all materials installed and work and
labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the repair and restoration of the
Damaged Property have been paid for in full, and (ii) there exist no notice of
pendency, stop order, notice of intention to file mechanic's or materialman's
lien, mechanic's or materialman's lien or other lien or encumbrance of any
nature whatsoever on the Damaged Property arising out of the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property which have not either been fully bonded to
the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully
insured over to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the
lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Damaged Property. The repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property shall be done and completed by Borrower in
an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable
governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all
applicable Environmental Requirements), and all plans and specifications
required in connection with the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property
shall be subject to review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by the
Consultant. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days following a
request and submissions of plans and specifications for approval, such plans and
specification shall be deemed approved by Lender. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of such plan and specifications and
all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the repair and restoration of the
Damaged Property, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged,
shall be identified to Lender and Consultant, if any. All costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and reasonable fees of the Consultant, shall be paid by
Borrower. In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net
Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time
to time for work in place as part of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property,
-40-
as certified by the Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY
RETAINAGE" as used in this paragraph shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the
costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the repair and restoration
of the Damaged Property, as certified by the Consultant. The Casualty Retainage
shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein above
set forth in this paragraph, be less than the amount actually held back by
Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the making
of the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property. Lender shall not be
obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once
every thirty (30) days. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the
Consultant certifies to Lender that the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property have been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of
the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property have been paid in full or
will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that
Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with
respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property as of the date upon which the Consultant
certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has
satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance
with the provisions of such contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's
contract, and such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers such lien
waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor,
subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the
title company insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Damaged
Property. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a
payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or
materialman. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
paragraph, if the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000 and if the costs of
completing the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property shall be less than
$250,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt,
provided that no default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the
Loan Documents, and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to
expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property. If at any time the Net Proceeds
or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which will be incurred in
connection with the completion of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (hereinafter referred to as the
"NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY") with Lender before any further disbursement of the
Net Proceeds shall be made, which Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit shall be held
by Lender in an interest-bearing account, shall be disbursed together with
interest earned thereon, for costs actually incurred in connection with the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property on the same conditions applicable
to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this
paragraph shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply the
undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with
interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable
in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate
in its discretion. The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining
balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest
thereon, after the Consultant certifies to Lender that the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property have been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, and the receipt by Lender of
-41-
evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the
repair and restoration have been paid in full, shall be applied to the reduction
of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Note with respect to such Damaged
Property (based on the Allocated Loan Amount, with any excess being applied to
the Principal Balance). All costs of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property in excess of the Net Proceeds shall be paid for by Borrower. All
insurance proceeds received by Lender and not required to be disbursed for the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property pursuant to the provisions of
this paragraph herein above set forth may be retained and applied by Lender
toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such
order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper
or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in
part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its
discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain insurance proceeds, the lien of
the Mortgage with respect to such Damaged Property shall be reduced only by the
amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in
reduction of the Debt.
SECTION 6.2. Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or
quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, Borrower shall
continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note, this Agreement and the Mortgages and the Debt shall not be reduced
until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and
applied by Lender to the discharge of the Debt. Except as hereinafter
specifically provided to the contrary in this paragraph, if all or any portion
of a Property is taken by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent
domain or otherwise, one hundred (100%) percent of the aggregate award or
payment received by Lender or Borrower as a result of such taking after
deduction of reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same shall
be applied in reduction of the portion of the outstanding Principal Balance
under the Note which pertains to such Property. If any Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or
payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on
the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award or
payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt, whichever is less.
Borrower shall file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such award or
payment in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected
and paid over to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
Lender, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any
such award or payment and, subsequent to the occurrence of a default beyond the
expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, if any, under any of the Loan
Documents and during the continuance thereof, to file and prosecute such claim
or claims. Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be
necessary in any event, Borrower shall, upon demand of Lender, make, execute and
deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the purpose
of assigning any such award or payment to Lender, free and clear of any
encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. If less than all of a particular
Property (the "TAKEN PROPERTY") is taken by any public or quasi-public authority
through eminent domain or otherwise, Lender shall, in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph hereinafter set forth, make the portion of the
aggregate award or payment received by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement as a result of such taking which is specifically awarded for the
repair and restoration of the portion of the Taken Property not taken or, in the
absence of any such specific award, is in the opinion of Lender reasonably
necessary to pay for the costs which will be incurred in connection with the
repair and restoration of the portion of the Taken Property not taken after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same
-42-
(hereinafter referred to as the "NET RESTORATION AWARD") available for the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property, provided that (i) no default shall
have occurred and shall be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower
shall commence the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, as nearly as
possible to the condition the Taken Property was in immediately prior to such
taking, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender, as soon as
reasonably practicable and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion, (iii) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which
will be incurred with respect to the Taken Property as a result of the
occurrence of any such taking will be covered out of the Net Restoration Award
or by Borrower out-of-pocket, (iv) Lender shall be of the opinion that it is
economically feasible to repair and restore the Taken Property, (v) Lender shall
be satisfied that within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days following completion of the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property, the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Taken Property
will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating
expenses of the Taken Property, (vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property will be completed on or before the earlier
to occur of (w) ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, or (x) the date on
which the business interruption insurance carried by such Borrower shall expire,
(vii) Lender shall be satisfied that all of the terms, covenants and provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will continue to be complied with
during and subsequent to the completion of such repair and restoration and
(viii) Borrower and ARC IV shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion
guaranty pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and ARC IV shall jointly
and severally guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion of the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph,
Lender shall not be obligated to make the Net Restoration Award available for
the repair and restoration of the Taken Property in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph if more than 30% of the Property (as measured by
area) is taken. The Net Restoration Award shall be held by Lender in an interest
bearing account, and until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. The
Net Restoration Award, together with interest thereon, shall be disbursed by
Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of
the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Lender (which evidence shall in each instance and to the full
extent required by Lender include receipted bills, invoices, lien waivers and a
continuation and date down of title to the Taken Property in form satisfactory
to Lender and issued by the title company insuring the lien of the Mortgage
pertaining to such Property or another title company satisfactory to Lender)
that (i) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the
extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in
connection with the repair and restoration of the Taken Property have been paid
for in full, and (ii) there exist no notice of pendency, stop order, notice of
intention to file mechanic's or materialman's lien, mechanic's or materialman's
lien or other lien or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on the Taken Property
arising out of the repair and restoration of the Taken Property which have not
either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record
or in the alternative otherwise fully insured over to the satisfaction of Lender
by the title company insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Taken
Property. The repair and restoration of the Taken Property shall be done and
completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance
with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without
limitation, all applicable Environmental Requirements), and all plans and
-43-
specifications required in connection with the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property shall be subject to review and acceptance in all respects by
Lender and by the Consultant. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10)
Business Days following a request and submission of plans and specifications for
approval, such plans and specifications shall be deemed approved by Lender. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of such plans
and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained
in connection with the repair and restoration of the Taken Property. The
identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property, as well as the contracts under
which they have been engaged, shall be identified to Lender and Consultant, if
any. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net
Restoration Award available for the repair and restoration of the Taken
Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, reasonable counsel fees
and reasonable fees of the Consultant shall be paid by Borrower. In no event
shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Restoration Award in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred for work in place as
part of the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, as certified by the
Consultant, minus the Condemnation Retainage. The term "CONDEMNATION RETAINAGE"
as used in this paragraph shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs
actually incurred for work in place as part of the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property, as certified by the Consultant. The Condemnation Retainage shall
in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein-above set forth
in this paragraph, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the making of the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Restoration Award more frequently than once every
fifteen (15) days. The Condemnation Retainage shall not be released until the
Consultant certifies that the repair and restoration of the Taken Property have
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property have been paid in full or will be paid in full
out of the Condemnation Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release
the portion of the Condemnation Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the repair and restoration
of the Taken Property as of the date upon which the Consultant certifies to
Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of such contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, and
such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers such lien waivers and
evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Taken Property. If required by
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Condemnation Retainage shall be
approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
The excess, if any, of the Net Restoration Award after the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property as nearly as possible to their former
condition and the payment in full of all costs incurred in connection therewith
shall be applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, if the Net Restoration
Award shall be less than $250,000 and if the costs of completing the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property shall be less than $250,000, the Net
Restoration Award will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided
that no default shall have occurred and shall be
-44-
continuing under the Loan Documents, and Borrower delivers to Lender a written
undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due
diligence the repair and restoration of the Taken Property. If at any time the
Net Restoration Award, or the undisbursed balance thereof, shall not, in the
opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which
will be incurred in connection with the completion of the repair and restoration
of the Taken Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (hereinafter
referred to as the "NET AWARD DEFICIENCY") with Lender before any further
disbursement of the Net Restoration Award shall be made, which Net Award
Deficiency deposit shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing special
account, shall be disbursed, together with interest thereon, for costs actually
incurred in connection with the repair and restoration of the Taken Property on
the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Restoration Award,
and shall until so disbursed pursuant to this paragraph constitute additional
security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right to apply the undisbursed balance of any Net
Award Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the
Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions
as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion. The excess, if any, of
any Net Award Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, remaining
after the Consultant certifies to Lender that the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property have been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all
costs incurred in connection with the repair and restoration have been paid in
full, shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding Principal Balance of
the Note pertaining to the Taken Property (based on the allocated Loan Amount,
with any excess being applied to the Principal Balance All costs of the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property in excess of the Net Restoration Award
shall be paid for by Borrower.
ARTICLE VII.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
SECTION 7.1. The Management Agreement. At all times during the term of
the Loan, the Properties shall be managed by ARC Management Services, Inc. or
another manager approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
("PROPERTY MANAGER") pursuant to the Management Agreement. Borrower shall (i)
diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and
(ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to Borrower of any default by Borrower
beyond any applicable cure period in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of
Borrower to be performed and observed. If Borrower shall default in the
performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then,
without limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its
obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the
right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act
as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions
of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed.
Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not (a) consent to
the assignment by Property Manager of its interest under the
-45-
Management Agreement, (b) terminate, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend
the Management Agreement, (c) change, replace or terminate Property Manager as
the manager of the Properties or (d) enter into a new management agreement with
respect to the Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event GMAC or a
Qualified Transferee shall become the managing member of ARC, Borrower may
replace ARC Management Services, Inc. with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
Management Agreement approved by Lender and provided that such Qualified Manager
shall execute and deliver to Lender an Assignment of Management Agreement and
Subordination of Management Fee in substantially the form delivered to Lender on
the Closing Date with such changes as shall be reasonably approved by Lender.
SECTION 7.2. Subordination of Fees; Removal of Property Manager.
Borrower agrees that all unpaid management fees shall be expressly subordinate
to the Debt and Property Manager shall not be entitled to receive any property
management fees, asset management fees or any other compensation or
reimbursements payable by Borrower with respect to any period of time during
which an Event of Default shall be continuing, it being agreed that Lender shall
be entitled to recover from Borrower, any and all property management fees,
asset management fees or any other compensation or reimbursements paid by
Borrower to Property Manager or to any Affiliate of Borrower during such period
of time. Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to replace Property
Manager with a Person chosen by Lender at any time following the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events: (i) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred, and/or (ii) if Property Manager has engaged in gross negligence, fraud
or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE VIII.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 8.1. Environmental Provisions. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to Lender that to the best of Borrower's knowledge (i) except for
standard cleaning products and standard lawn care products used in connection
with the landscaping of any Property and petroleum products used in connection
with the operation of equipment at the Properties, no Hazardous Material is
currently located at, on, in, under or about any Property, except as
specifically set forth in the Environmental Reports, (ii) no Hazardous Material
is currently located at, in, on, under or about any Property in a manner which
violates any Environmental Requirement, or which requires cleanup or corrective
action of any kind under any Environmental Requirement, (iii) no releasing,
emitting, discharging, leaching, dumping or disposing of any Hazardous Material
from any Property onto or into any other property or from any other property
onto or into any Property has occurred or is occurring in violation of any
Environmental Requirement, (iv) no notice of violation, lien, complaint, suit,
order or other notice with respect to any Property is presently outstanding
under any Environmental Requirement, and (v) each Property and the operation
thereof are in compliance with all Environmental Requirements. Borrower shall
comply, and shall use its best efforts to cause all tenants or other occupants
of the Properties to comply, in all respects with all Environmental
Requirements, and will not generate, store, handle, process, dispose of or
otherwise use, and will not permit any tenant or other occupant of any Property
to generate, store, handle, process, dispose of or otherwise use, Hazardous
Materials at, in, on, under or about any Property in a
-46-
manner that could lead or potentially lead to the imposition on Borrower, Lender
or any Property of any liability or lien of any nature whatsoever under any
Environmental Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in the event of
any spill or other release of any Hazardous Material at, in, on, under or about
any Property which is required to be reported to a Governmental Authority under
any Environmental Requirement, will promptly forward Lender copies of any
notices received by Borrower relating to alleged violations of any Environmental
Requirement and will promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against
Lender, any Borrower or any Property relating to any Environmental Requirement.
If at any time it is determined that the operation or use of any Property
violates any applicable Environmental Requirement or that there are Hazardous
Materials located at, in, on, under or about any Property which, under any
Environmental Requirement, require special handling in collection, storage,
treatment or disposal, or any other form of cleanup or corrective action,
Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice thereof from any
Governmental Authority or from Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be
required by any such Governmental Authority or under applicable Environmental
Requirements), take, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, such actions as may be
necessary to fully comply in all respects with all Environmental Requirements;
provided, however, that if such compliance cannot reasonably be completed within
such sixty (60) day period, Borrower shall commence such necessary action within
such sixty (60) day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously
proceed to fully comply in all respects and in a timely fashion with all
Environmental Requirements. If Borrower fails to timely take, or to diligently
and expeditiously proceed to complete in a timely fashion, any such action,
Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make advances or payments
towards the performance or satisfaction of the same, but shall in no event be
under any obligation to do so. All sums so advanced or paid by Lender
(including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses,
investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, and fines or other penalty
payments) and all sums advanced or paid in connection with any judicial or
administrative investigation or proceeding relating thereto, will immediately,
upon demand, become due and payable from Borrower and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date any such sums are so advanced or paid by Lender until
the date any such sums are repaid by Borrower to Lender. Borrower will execute
and deliver, promptly upon request, such instruments as Lender may deem useful
or necessary to permit Lender to take any such action, and such additional
notes, as Lender may require to secure all sums so advanced or paid by Lender.
If a lien is filed against any Property by any Governmental Authority resulting
from the need to expend or the actual expending of monies arising from an action
or omission, whether intentional or unintentional, of Borrower or for which
Borrower is responsible, resulting in the releasing, spilling, leaking,
leaching, pumping, emitting, pouring, emptying or dumping of any Hazardous
Material into the waters or onto land located within or without the State in
which any Property is located, then Borrower will, within thirty (30) days from
the date that Borrower is first given notice that such lien has been placed
against such Property (or within such shorter period of time as may be specified
by Lender if such Governmental Authority has commenced steps to cause such
Property to be sold pursuant to such lien) either (a) pay the claim and remove
the lien, or (b) furnish a cash deposit, bond, or such other security with
respect thereto as is satisfactory in all respects to Lender and is sufficient
to effect a complete discharge of such lien on such Property. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of any material item, Borrower, at its own expense,
may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, promptly initiated and conducted
in good faith and with due diligence, the validity or enforceability, in whole
or in part, of any Environmental Requirement,
-47-
provided that (i) Borrower shall have given prior notice of such contest to
Lender, (ii) no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note,
the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iii) such
proceeding shall suspend the obligation of Borrower to comply with any such
Environmental Requirement, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which
Borrower, or the Properties, are subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder, (v) failure to immediately comply with any such law, order,
ordinance, rule or regulation will not invalidate or vitiate any Insurance
Policies, in whole or in part, and will not in the opinion of Lender constitute
a present danger to the Properties or any portion thereof, or to the individuals
using and entering upon the Properties, (vi) neither the Properties nor any part
thereof nor any interest therein will in the opinion of Lender be in danger of
being sold, forfeited, confiscated, terminated, canceled or lost, (vii) delay in
the compliance with any Environmental Requirement will not, in the opinion of
Lender, result in a worsening or deterioration in the condition requiring
remediation, (viii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender in escrow all sums
necessary to insure the payment by Borrower of all costs of compliance, fines
and penalties, together with interest thereon, as may be incurred by Borrower in
the event of a determination in such proceeding adverse to Borrower, and (ix)
neither Borrower nor Lender will in the opinion of Lender be subject to any
criminal or civil liability as the result of such contestment by Borrower.
Lender may, at its option, at intervals of not more frequently than once a year,
or more frequently if Lender reasonably believes that a Hazardous Material or
other environmental condition violates or threatens to violate any Environmental
Requirement applicable to a Property, cause an environmental audit of such
Property to be conducted to confirm Borrower's compliance with the provisions of
this paragraph in respect of such Property, and Borrower shall cooperate in all
reasonable ways with Lender in connection with any such audit. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit. If any of the
Mortgages is foreclosed, or if any Property is sold pursuant to the provisions
of the Mortgages, or if Borrower tenders a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or sale, Borrower shall deliver such Properties to the purchaser at
foreclosure or sale or to Lender, its nominee, or wholly owned subsidiary, as
the case may be, in a condition that complies in all respects with all
Environmental Requirements. Borrower will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Lender, its employees, agents, officers, and directors, from and against any and
all claims, demands, penalties, causes of action, fines, liabilities,
settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or otherwise (including, without
limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and
laboratory fees and expenses, court costs, and litigation expenses) arising out
of, or in any way related to, (i) any breach by Borrower of any of the
provisions of this Section, (ii) the presence, disposal, spillage, discharge,
emission, leakage, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Material
which is at, in, on, under, about, from or affecting any Property, including,
without limitation, any damage or injury resulting from any such Hazardous
Material to or affecting any Property or the soil, water, air, vegetation,
buildings, personal property, individuals or animals located on any Property or
on any other property or otherwise, (iii) any personal injury (including
wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related
to any such Hazardous Material, (iv) any lawsuit brought or threatened,
settlement reached, or order or directive of or by any Governmental Authority
relating to such Hazardous Material, or (v) any violation of any Environmental
Requirement. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section
shall survive and continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated,
discharged or released,
-48-
in whole or in part, irrespective of whether the Debt has been paid in full and
irrespective of any foreclosure of any of the Mortgages, sale of any one or more
of the Properties pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgages or acceptance by
Lender, its nominees or wholly owned subsidiaries of one or more deeds or
assignments in lieu of foreclosure or sale and irrespective of any other fact or
circumstance of any nature whatsoever.
ARTICLE IX.
RESERVE FUNDS
SECTION 9.1. Tax Funds.
9.1.1. Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender
on the Monthly Payment Date an amount (the "MONTHLY TAX DEPOSIT") equal to
one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next
ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds
to pay all such Taxes at least ten (10) days prior to their respective due dates
(such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "TAX FUNDS").
If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be
sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination
and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that
Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days
prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if Borrower
receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to
the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit such amount within two (2)
Business Day after its receipt of such notice.
9.1.2. Release of Tax Funds. Lender shall, provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio shall not be less than 1.05:1, release Tax Funds to Borrower for payments
of Taxes prior to the date such Taxes are due or paid by Borrower, upon delivery
to Lender of an Officer's Certificate, certifying as to the actual amount of the
Taxes due and owing (the "CERTIFIED TAX AMOUNT") on the date thereof or within
thirty (30) days from the date thereof. Lender shall advance to Borrower for
same from the Tax Funds, within five (5) business days from the date Lender
receives such Officer's Certificate, an amount equal to the Certified Tax
Amount. In all other cases, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Lender shall either (i) release Tax Funds to Borrower for Taxes
paid by Borrower or (ii) apply the Tax Funds to the payment of Taxes. In making
any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement
or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes)
without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into
the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for
Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or
credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax
Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to
Borrower.
9.1.3. Application of Tax Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Tax Funds from the Tax
Account and may apply the Tax Funds either to the payment of Taxes or to payment
of the Debt in such order,
-49-
proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's
right to withdraw and apply the Tax Funds shall be in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.2. Insurance Premium Funds.
9.2.1. Deposits of Insurance Premium Funds. Borrower shall deposit
with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount (the "MONTHLY INSURANCE
PREMIUM DEPOSIT") equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender
estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the
Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the Policies (such amounts so deposited shall

Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Premium Funds will not be
sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the
amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least
thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.05:1, release the Insurance Premium
Funds to Borrower for payment of Insurance Premiums prior to the date such
Insurance Premiums are due or paid by Borrower, upon delivery to Lender of an
Officer's Certificate, certifying as to the actual amount of the Insurance
Premiums then due and owing (the "CERTIFIED INSURANCE AMOUNT") on the date
thereof or within sixty (60) days from the date thereof. Lender shall advance to
Borrower for same from the Insurance Funds, within five (5) business days from
the date Lender receives such Officer's Certificate, an amount equal to the

shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall either (i) release the
Insurance Premium Funds to Borrower for Insurance Premiums paid by Borrower or
(ii) apply the Insurance Funds to the payment of Insurance Premiums. In making
any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of
the Insurance Premium Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Premium Funds.
Any Insurance Premium Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall
be returned to Borrower.
9.2.3. Application of Insurance Premium Funds. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Lender at its option may withdraw the Insurance Premium
Funds from the Insurance Premium Account and may apply the Insurance Premium
Funds to the payment of Insurance Premiums or to the payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Insurance Premium Funds shall be in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan
Documents.

shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date with respect to each
Property constituting collateral for the Loan on such Monthly Payment Date an
amount (the "MONTHLY ORDINARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES DEPOSIT") equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (x) $50.00 multiplied by (y) the number of
manufactured home sites located at such Property (such amounts so deposited
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "ORDINARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FUNDS"),

Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Capital Work from
time to time, and may require Borrower to amend the Ordinary Capital

Deposit upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its
reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation
of the Properties.
9.3.2. Release of Ordinary Capital Expenditure Funds. Lender shall
disburse Ordinary Capital Reserve Funds with respect to a particular Property

is paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower, it being agreed
that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time, for
Capital Work having a cost in excess of $10,000, to request copies of licenses,
permits or approvals, plans and specifications, contracts, invoices, lien
waivers, title searches that such Capital Work has been completed and paid for.
In addition, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to
require an inspection report from Consultant with respect to any Capital Work,
provided, however, that such inspection report shall not be a condition
precedent to disbursement unless required by Lender and the cost of a particular
item of Capital Work is in
-51-
excess of $150,000. Lender shall not be required to disburse Ordinary Capital
Expenditure Funds more frequently than once each calendar month or in amounts
less than $25,000.

determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the
Ordinary Capital Expenditure Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.4. Capital Improvement Funds.
9.4.1. Capital Improvement Funds. Borrower shall, on the date
hereof, deposit with Lender the amounts shown on Schedule 2 attached hereto with

9.4.2. Release of Capital Improvement Funds. Lender shall disburse
the Capital Improvement Funds with respect to a particular Property only for the
costs of those items set forth on the Capital Improvement Plan approved by
Lender with respect to such Property as the same may be revised from time to
time with the approval of Lender. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Capital
Improvement Funds with respect to a particular Property to reimburse Borrower
for the actual costs incurred in connection with the Capital Improvement Plan at
such Property upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) no
default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii)
Borrower shall submit a request for disbursement to Lender at least ten (10)
days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such disbursement be made,
which request shall be accompanied by, with respect to each Property for which a
disbursement from the Capital Improvement Funds is being requested, a
certificate of Borrower (A) describing by category the Capital Work to be funded
by the requested disbursement and the amount requested to be funded with respect
to each category of Capital Work, it being agreed that the categories to be
utilized in connection with such requests shall be consistent with those
categories set forth in the reconciliation statement in EXHIBIT V attached
hereto, (B) stating that all Capital Work to be funded by the requested
disbursement has been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance

(iii) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably
request that the Capital Work to be funded by the requested disbursement has
been completed and is paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to
Borrower, it being agreed that Lender shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at any time to request copies of licenses, permits or approvals,
plans and specifications, contracts, invoices, lien waivers, title searches that

each request Borrower shall submit to Lender, for informational purposes, a
statement of capital expenditures in the form of EXHIBIT X which shall be
certified by Borrower to the best of its knowledge to be true and complete. In
addition, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to
require an inspection
-52-
report from Consultant with respect to any Capital Work, provided, however, that
such inspection report shall not be a condition precedent to disbursement unless
required by Lender and the cost of a particular item of Capital Work is in
excess of $150,000. At such time as seventy percent (70%) of the amount
originally budgeted with respect to the Capital Improvement Funds for a
particular Property (exclusive of the 25% contingency funded in connection
therewith) has been disbursed to Borrower, Lender shall not be required to make
further disbursements of the Capital Improvement Funds with respect to such
Property until Borrower has submitted to Lender a category by category
reconciliation of the Capital Work done to date with the Capital Work originally
planned and budgeted for in the Capital Improvement Plan for such Property in
the form of EXHIBIT V attached hereto and Lender shall be satisfied in its
reasonable judgment that the balance of the Capital Improvement Funds with
respect to such Property remaining in the Capital Improvement Account with
respect to such Property is sufficient to complete the remaining items of the
Capital Improvement Plan, as the same may be revised with the reasonable
approval of Lender (the amount by which such account balance is less than the
amount necessary to complete, the "Deficiency"). At the option of Lender, Lender
may require Borrower to deposit into the Capital Improvement Funds Account an
amount equal to the Deficiency or to invest in the Capital Work amounts equal to
the Deficiency prior to further disbursements of the Capital Improvement Funds
with respect to such Property. Upon satisfaction by Lender that sufficient funds
remain to complete all necessary Capital Work in the Capital Improvement Plan
with respect to such Property, Lender shall continue to disburse funds from the
Capital Improvement Account with respect to such Property in accordance with the
foregoing procedures, provided, however, that a second reconciliation and
revision of the Capital Improvement Plan, if necessary, shall be completed at
such time as 95% of the amount originally budgeted in the Capital Improvement
Plan for such Property has been disbursed. In no event shall Lender be required
to disburse the 25% contingency funded in connection with such Property until
such time as all Capital Work in connection with the Capital Improvement Plan,
as the same may have been revised from time to time with the approval of Lender,
shall have been completed exclusive of punch list items. Upon completion of all
of the Capital Work set forth in such Capital Improvement Plan with respect to a
particular Property and upon satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement set
forth herein, any remaining funds held in the subaccount of the Capital
Improvement Funds Account with respect to such Property shall be released to
Borrower. Lender shall not be required to disburse Capital Improvement Funds
more frequently than once each calendar month or in amounts less than $25,000 in
the aggregate, provided, however, that the final disbursement from the Capital
Improvement Account may be in an amount less than $25,000. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall, subject to compliance with the terms hereof, be
entitled to up to, but not in excess of, three (3) additional disbursements from
the Capital Improvement Funds. Disbursements of Capital Improvement Funds shall
be deposited into the Cash Management Account.
9.4.3. Application of Capital Improvement Funds. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the
Capital Improvement Funds from the Capital Improvements Account and apply the
Capital Improvement Funds to completion of the Capital Work or to the payment of
the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Capital Improvement
Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender

with inspections described in this SECTION 9.5.2. Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such
inspections in excess of $100,000 over the term of the Loan, provided, however,

and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained
in connection with the Capital Work. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10)
Business Days following a request and submission of plans and specifications,
such plans and specifications shall be deemed approved by Lender.

SECTION 10.2. Remedies.

long as any such Event of Default continues, Lender (a) shall have
the absolute and unconditional right in its sole and absolute
discretion to declare the Debt or any portion thereof immediately
due and payable, and (b) shall have the right to pursue any and
all remedies provided for in this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise
available to Lender, at law or in equity or otherwise, including
but not limited to foreclosure of the Mortgages and any UCC liens.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any
one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies
-59-
available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or
any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or
not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or
other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under
any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the
Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such
order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise
affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by
law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i)
Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of
remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights,
remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full
force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies
against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold
and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the
Debt has been paid in full.
(iii) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing
contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed
as requiring Lender to resort to any Property for the satisfaction
of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other
Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the
Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in
respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from
time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner
and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable
as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without
limitation, the following circumstances in the event Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one
or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may
foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent
payments. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the
Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment
of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(iv) In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender
provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, the Lender shall have
the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise following an Event of Default) to set-off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in
-60-
any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by
Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender
agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and
application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The provisions of this Section 10.2(iv) shall be
applicable only during such time as this Loan shall be held by
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank.
SECTION 10.3. Application of Moneys. All moneys received or collected
by Lender in respect of the Loan after an Event of Default shall be applied by
Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as
Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion determine. The balance, if any,
of such moneys remaining after payment in full of such costs and the Debt shall
be remitted to Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.4. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may
determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any
remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such
remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to
Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or
Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
SECTION 10.5. Right to Cure Defaults. If default beyond any applicable
notice and cure period in the performance of any of the covenants of Borrower
shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, at its discretion, remedy the same
and for such purpose shall have the right to enter upon the Properties or any
portion thereof without thereby being liable to Borrower or any Person in
possession thereof holding under Borrower, and to pay all sums as may be
necessary to cure any such default (including, without limitation any default by
Borrower in the payment of any Insurance Premiums or any Taxes or other liens or
encumbrances covering the Properties or any part thereof). If Lender shall
remedy such a default (including, without limitation, any default by Borrower in
the payment of any Insurance Premiums or any Taxes or other liens or
encumbrances covering the Properties or any part thereof) or appear in, defend
or bring any action or proceeding to protect the interest of Lender in the
Properties, or any portion thereof, or to foreclose any of the Mortgages or
collect the Debt, the costs and expenses thereof (including reasonable
attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law) with interest as provided in
this paragraph, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and shall be
added to and constitute part of the Debt secured by the Mortgages. All such
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such default or in appearing
in, defending or bringing any such action or proceeding, shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender upon demand, with interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Default Rate.

SALE AND SECURITIZATION AND SERVICER
SECTION 12.1. Syndication of the Loan. Lender shall have the absolute
and unconditional right at any time after the date of this Agreement and at any
time during the term of the Loan without requiring any consent or approval from
Borrower or any Guarantor or indemnitor or any other person, party or entity
associated with or connected with the Loan or the collateral therefor (i) to
sell and assign the Loan in whole or in part, or (ii) to place one or more
participation interests therein in one or more separate transactions, or (iii)
to effect a syndication or securitization of the Loan or of any interest therein

natural persons, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations,
REMICs, FASITS, real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable

appropriate in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion. (The
transaction referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be
referred to collectively as "SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS" and the transactions
referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a
"SECURITIZATION." Any certificate, notes or other securities issued in
connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "Securities").
In connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the
absolute and unconditional right without obtaining the prior approval of
Borrower, any Guarantor or indemnitor or any other person, party or entity
associated or connected with the Loan or the collateral therefor to disclose,
deliver and to share, on a confidential basis, with any prospective purchaser of
the Loan or of any participation or other interest therein (including any such
interest to be acquired in connection with a syndication or securitization of
the Loan) such information (financial or otherwise), documents and instruments
pertaining to the Loan, the Properties, Borrower or any Guarantor or indemnitor
or any other person, party or entity associated or connected with the Loan or
the collateral therefor as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in the exercise
of its sole and absolute discretion. Except as provided otherwise in SECTION
12.1.1 or as may otherwise be agreed upon by the Borrower in writing, Borrower
shall not be responsible for the payment of any costs and expenses in connection
with any Secondary Market Transaction.
SECTION 12.1.1 Borrower's Costs and Expenses of a Secondary Market
Transaction. Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any costs and
expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction associated with the
cost of obtaining:
(i) a current phase one level environmental audit report with
respect to certain Properties, (and such additional reports as may
be required by Lender if any environmental problems are disclosed
by the phase one level reports) prepared by qualified
environmental consultant(s)
-62-
or firm(s) designated and retained by Borrower and approved by
Lender, and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory
in all respects to Lender;
(ii) a detailed structural and physical inspection report
("PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT"), with respect to certain

to Lender; and
(iii) a comprehensive current written appraisal report with
respect to certain Properties prepared by an MAI appraiser
designated by Lender and complying with FIRREA standards.
Borrower shall only be required to submit a (i) current phase one level
environmental audit report pursuant to SECTION 12.1.1(I) if, at the time of
closing the Loan, the phase one level environmental audit report for those
Properties submitted to Lender was dated earlier than one (1) year prior to the
closing of the Loan, (ii) Property Inspection Report pursuant to SECTION
12.1.1(II) with respect to those Properties which Borrower did not deliver such
Property Inspection Report to Lender after the date which was three months prior
to the closing of the Loan, and (iii) current appraisal report pursuant to
SECTION 12.1.1(III) if the appraisal report for those Properties submitted to
Lender was dated earlier than one (1) year before the closing of the Loan.
SECTION 12.2. Cooperation. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall,
assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily
adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including,
without limitation, to:
(i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with
respect to the Properties, the business operated at the Properties,
Borrower and the Property Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating
to the Properties and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies,
environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's),

investigations of the Properties together, if customary, with
appropriate verification of such updated information through letters of
auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating
Agencies;
(ii) provide access and entry to the Properties during normal
business hours and upon prior notice to Lender, any prospective
purchaser of the Loan or of any participation or other interest therein
(including any such interest to be acquired in connection with a

other Person authorized by Lender);
-63-
(iii) use best efforts to provide opinions of counsel, which may
be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective
counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation,
fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in
Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with
respect to the Properties and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel
and opinions shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(iv) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary
Market Transaction (the "SECONDARY MARKET CLOSING DATE"),
representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such
additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may
reasonably require;
(v) execute amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's
organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender, provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any

set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) modify or amend any other
material economic term of the Loan;
(vi) provide any additional financial statements or other
information as may be required to satisfy all requirements of the

otherwise be agreed upon by the Borrower in writing, Lender shall be responsible
for all costs and expenses associated with this ARTICLE XII.
-64-
SECTION 12.3. Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by
Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without
limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private
placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a "DISCLOSURE Document")
and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), or
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and
may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities,
the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.
Lender shall provide Borrower adequate opportunity to review any such Disclosure
Document and to provide any such comment to Lender as Borrower deems necessary.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and
final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A)
certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by
Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower,
Borrower Affiliates, the Properties, the Property Manager and all other aspects
of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B)
indemnifying (and for purposes of this SECTION 12.3, Lender hereunder shall
include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender that has filed the
registration statement relating to the Securitization (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the
meaning of SECTION 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the "LENDER GROUP"), and Lender, each of its directors and each
Person who controls Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "UNDERWRITER GROUP")
for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "LIABILITIES")
to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to
make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading to the extent that Borrower failed to timely
notify the Lender, Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group with respect to the
same and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the
Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender,
the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or
defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in
any such case under clause (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such
loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with
the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, appraisals, market
studies, environmental site
-65-
assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act filings, Borrower shall (i)
indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to
which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to
be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the
Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading to the extent that Borrower failed to timely notify the Lender,
Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group with respect to the same and (ii)
reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the
Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof,
but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to
any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it
(or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.
After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this
Section, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at
the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified
party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section is
for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof)
referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section,
the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
-66-
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the
amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the
following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender's and Borrower's relative
knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which
the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate
in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per
capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under
this SECTION 12.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
SECTION 12.4. Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain, at its sole
costs, the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any
certificates issued in a Securitization.
SECTION 12.5. Component Notes. At no cost or expense to Borrower,
Lender shall have the right to modify the Note in order to create one or more
"component notes" provided that (a) the total principal balance of such notes as
of the effective date of such modification equals the total principal balance of
the Loan immediately prior to such modification, (b) the total weighted average
of the Interest Rates of all of the component notes as of the effective date of
such modification equals the weighted average of the Interest Rate of the Note
immediately prior to such modification and (c) the aggregate monthly debt
service on such component notes immediately after such modification equals the
monthly debt service immediately prior to such modification. Lender shall have
the right to modify the Notes in the accordance with this Section upon notice to
Borrower (in which event such modification shall then be deemed effective).
SECTION 12.6. Event of Default. It shall be an Event of Default if
either Borrower or Guarantors shall fail to comply with any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Article XII for three (3) Business Days after
notice from Lender provided, however, that if Borrower shall have commenced to
cure such default, and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure
the same, such three (3) day period will be extended for an additional five (5)
business days.
SECTION 12.7. Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain a servicer
(the "SERVICER") to act as its agent under the Loan with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the servicer by Lender including, without limitation,
(x) general administration of the Loan, including, without limitation, the
collection and remittance of payments, the maintaining of tax and insurance
escrows, the review of the monthly and quarterly reports required to be
submitted by Borrower and the issuance of periodic reports of available
borrowing capacity under the Loan, (y) the granting or withholding of any and
all consents or approvals which may be requested or given pursuant to the Loan
Documents, and (z) the exercise of, or determination to refrain from exercising,
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. In the event Lender retains a
Servicer as aforesaid, Borrower shall recognize that the Servicer shall have all
the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder and Borrower irrevocably
consents to the matters set forth in this SECTION 12.7 and agrees to cooperate
with the Servicer in all respects as if Servicer
-67-
were the Lender named herein. Lender shall be responsible for the payment of all
fees and expenses of Servicer.
SECTION 12.8. Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the
other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and
any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing to
it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
ARTICLE XIII.
PARTIAL RELEASE OF PROPERTIES
SECTION 13.1. Partial Release of Properties. Borrower shall have the
right to obtain releases of individual Properties from the lien of the Mortgages
and the other Loan Documents (and to obtain a release of any Ordinary Capital
Expenditure Funds, Capital Improvement Funds, Tax Funds and Insurance Premium
Funds held in connection therewith) upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) no default shall have occurred and be continuing under
the Loan Documents;
(ii) the covenant set forth in SECTION 5.1.11 entitled
"Single Purpose" shall be fully satisfied, such that the Borrower
will no longer own the released Property;
(iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Defeasance
Collateral required under SECTION 2.5 with respect to such
Property, which amount shall be applied in reduction of the
Principal Balance of the Note in such manner as Lender shall
determine;
(iv) Borrower shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into
the Defeasance Collateral Account in an amount equivalent to 125%
of the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such property in such
manner as Lender shall determine;
(v) the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount of all Properties
released in accordance with this SECTION 13.1 shall not exceed 25%
of the Principal Balance of the Loan;
(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio of the Properties after such release shall not be less than
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately preceding such release
and repayment;
-68-
(vii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such other
certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably
request; and
(viii) Borrower shall have satisfied the other conditions and
requirements set forth in SECTION 2.5.
SECTION 13.2. [Intentionally Reserved]
SECTION 13.3. Allocated Loan Amounts. SCHEDULE 1 sets forth the
allocation of the Principal Balance of the Loan amongst the Properties (such
allocation with respect to each Property, the "ALLOCATED LOAN AMOUNT"). The
Allocated Loan Amounts shall not be subject to adjustment or reallocation as a
result of any prepayments of the Principal Balance.
ARTICLE XIV.
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 14.1. Non-Waiver. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict
performance of any term of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Agreement. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's
obligation to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its
payment in the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement by reason of (i) failure
of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to foreclose
any one or more of the Mortgages or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of
this Agreement, the Mortgages, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii)
the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the
Properties or any other collateral or security for the Debt, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation between Lender and any subsequent owner or owners of
the Properties or other Person extending the time of payment or otherwise
modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of
Borrower, and in the latter event, Borrower shall continue to be obligated to
pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Mortgages
and this Agreement, as so extended, modified and supplemented, unless, expressly
released and discharged from such obligation by Lender in writing. Regardless of
consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the
holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to
the Properties, Lender may release any Person at any time liable for the payment
of the Debt or any portion thereof or any part of the security held for the Debt
and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of the Note,
the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, a modification of the interest rate payable on the Principal
Balance, without in any manner impairing or affecting the Mortgages or the
respective liens thereof or the priority of the Mortgages, as so extended and
modified, as security for the Debt over any such subordinate lien, encumbrance,
right, title or interest. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any
other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender in its
discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any
portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the
right of Lender thereafter to foreclose any one or more of the Mortgages. Lender
shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and
-69-
remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every additional right and
remedy set forth in the Loan Documents or now or hereafter afforded by law. The
rights of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to
proceed under any one provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents
to the exclusion of any other provision set forth in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.2. Sole Discretion. Except as may otherwise be expressly
provided to the contrary, wherever pursuant to the Note, the Mortgages, this
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender exercises any right given
to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement
or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender shall be in the
sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.
SECTION 14.3. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation. Borrower
acknowledges that Borrower's obligation to pay the Debt in accordance with the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement is and shall at all
times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at
all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or
circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
defense to the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or the obligation of
Borrower thereunder to pay the Debt or the obligations of any other Person
relating to the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or the obligations of
Borrower under the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or otherwise with
respect to the Loan, and Borrower absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
waives any and all right to assert any defense (other than the defense of
payment), setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the obligation of Borrower to pay the Debt in accordance with the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement or the obligations of
any other Person relating to the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or the
obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or
otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action, case or proceeding brought by
Lender to collect the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce, foreclose and
realize upon the lien and security interest created by the Mortgages or any
other document or instrument securing repayment of the Debt, in whole or in part
(provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right of Borrower to assert any compulsory counterclaim
in any such action, case or proceeding brought by Lender in any state court if
such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule or procedure, or in any
such action, case or proceeding brought by Lender in a court of the United
States, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this sentence be deemed a waiver
of the right of Borrower to assert any claim which would otherwise constitute a
defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against
Lender in any separate action, case or proceeding brought by Borrower against
Lender).
SECTION 14.4. Relationship. The relationship of Lender to Borrower
hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and nothing
contained in the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance
be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint
tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between Lender and
Borrower other than as lender and borrower.
-70-
SECTION 14.5. Anti-Forfeiture. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not
to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording the Federal
government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture under any
Federal or state RICO or similar law as against the Properties or any part
thereof or interest therein or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's
obligations under this Agreement, the Mortgages, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and
agrees to defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any loss, damage or
injury by reason of the breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in this
paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of
formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Borrower or against
the Properties or any part thereof or interest therein under any Federal or
state law for which forfeiture of the Properties or any part thereof or of any
monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents is
a potential result, shall, at the election of Lender, but otherwise subject to
the immediately following sentence, constitute an Event of Default hereunder
without notice or opportunity to cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after
prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may contest the
validity of or application of any such law affording such forfeiture, provided
that (i) no default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note,
the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower, or the Properties, are
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (iii) neither the
Properties nor any portion thereof nor any interest therein will in the opinion
of Lender be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost,
and (iv) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender cash, cash equivalent or
letter of credit satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge any
lien together with interest and penalties thereon arising out of such law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any
deposit with Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, if Lender
is reasonably satisfied that (a) the act or omission affording such forfeiture
was committed by a Person other than Borrower or an Affiliate or subsidiary of
Borrower, (b) Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies against
such Person, (c) neither the Properties nor any portion thereof or interest
therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or
lost, and (d) the respective liens and priorities of the Mortgages will not be
in danger of being primed, diminished or forfeited.
SECTION 14.6. Deposits. Whenever in this Agreement, Borrower is
required to deposit monies with Lender to secure obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement or as a condition precedent to Borrower's right to contest
certain obligations, such monies shall (unless otherwise specifically provided
to the contrary in this Agreement) be held in an interest-bearing account
selected by Lender. All such accrued interest shall be held, disbursed and
applied in accordance with the provisions applicable to such deposits, it being
agreed that interest earned on the Tax Fund Account and the Insurance Premium
Account shall be credited against future required monthly deposits. From time to
time, at the request of Borrower, Lender shall disburse interest earned on the
Capital Improvement Account to the Borrower for deposit into the Operating
Account provided Lender is reasonably satisfied that sufficient funds remain in
such Accounts to complete all Capital Work required hereunder. In order to
secure the payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of its
obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants and assigns to
Lender a security interest in and to all monies from time to time on deposit in
any such account. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as
such
-71-
Event of Default shall continue, Lender shall have the absolute right to apply
all or any portion of the balances held in any such accounts to the payment of
the Debt whether or not due and payable in such order, priority and proportions
as Lender in its discretion shall deem appropriate.
SECTION 14.7. No Brokers. Lender shall not be required to pay any
brokerage fees or commissions or other remuneration of any nature whatsoever
arising from the extension of the Loan or the funding of the Loan and Borrower
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless, from and against any and
all claims made against, or liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by
Lender in connection with any claims which are asserted by any broker with whom
Borrower has, or is alleged to have, dealt in connection with the Loan or any
other Person claiming by, through or under Borrower in connection with the Loan.
SECTION 14.8. Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees to submit to
personal jurisdiction in the State of New York in any action, case or proceeding
arising out of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than
the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases and Rents), and, in furtherance of
such agreement, Borrower hereby agrees and consents that without limiting other
methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over Borrower in any
such action, case or proceeding may be obtained within or without the
jurisdiction of any court located in the State of New York and that any process
or notice of motion or other application to any such court in connection with
any such action, case or proceeding may be served upon Borrower by registered or
certified mail to or by personal service at the last known address of Borrower,
as the case may be, whether such address be within or without the jurisdiction
of any such court. Borrower also agrees that the venue of any litigation arising
in connection with the Debt or in respect of any of the obligations of Borrower
under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than
enforcement actions brought under the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases
and Rents) shall, to the extent permitted by law, be in New York County, New
York.
SECTION 14.9. Retention of Counsel and Consultants. If Lender deems it
to be in its best interests to retain the assistance of any Person (including,
but not limited to, attorneys, title insurance companies, third party escrow
agents, appraisers, accountants, engineers and surveyors) with respect to any
request for consent or approval by Lender relating to the Loan Documents,
Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) days of its demand for all
reasonable costs incurred by them in connection with the employment of such
Persons.
SECTION 14.10. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except as required by applicable
law and except with respect to matters for which this Agreement specifically and
expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower, and Borrower
hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which applicable law or this Agreement does not specifically
and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
SECTION 14.11. Indemnification of Lender. Borrower shall indemnify
Lender and its respective affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers and
employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities
and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of
litigation or preparation therefor whether or not Lender is a party
-72-
thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the
direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any
Loan hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Borrower
to indemnify Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages, penalties,
judgments, liabilities and expenses, imposed on or incurred by Lender by reason
of Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The obligations of Borrower
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender) to assign or transfer
its rights under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, in
whole or in part, by agreement, operation of law or otherwise to any other
Person, it being agreed that any such assignment or transfer without the prior
consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect and shall constitute
an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MADE BY LENDER, OR BY ANY

EXTENT SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE LOAN ARE MERGED IN THIS AGREEMENT SO THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE

governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York.
