Costs.
- 18 -
2.4.1. Fees Paid Prior to the
Closing Date.
Lender
acknowledges that, in addition to Borrower's obligations under Section
5.1.6, Borrower
has paid to Lender, as consideration for Lender's costs in underwriting the
transaction contemplated hereby, (x) a non-refundable transaction fee in the
amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and (y) a
Mortgage Review Fee and a Seismic Report Fee, if and as applicable, for each
property described at Schedule
1.1(A) and
proposed by Borrower to be included in the Collateral Pool on the Closing
Date.
2.4.2. Costs Due on the Closing
Date.
2.4.2.1.
Transaction
Costs. Borrower shall pay on the Closing Date (simultaneously with the
closing of the Loan), as further consideration for Lender's cost in underwriting
the commitment, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements
(including fees and expenses of counsel for Lender and Servicer), incurred by
Lender and Servicer in connection with the negotiation and execution of this
Agreement and other instruments and documents to be delivered
hereunder.
2.4.3. Unused Facility
Fee.
Accruing
from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, as
consideration for Lender's commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable unused facility
fee (the "Unused
Facility Fee") equal to fifteen basis points (0.0015) per annum (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the average daily
difference between the amount of (i) the Commitment (reduced by the outstanding
principal amounts of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) and (ii) the greater of
(a) the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount (reduced by the outstanding principal amounts
of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) or (b) the outstanding principal amount of
the Loan (reduced by the outstanding principal amounts of all Fixed Rate
Borrowing Tranches). Except as otherwise provided in connection with Borrower's
election to terminate this Agreement prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to
Section
2.13.2, in which
instance a liquidated Unused Facility Fee shall be payable in accordance with
the provisions of Section
2.13.2, all
Unused Facility Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date
and shall be set forth on the applicable Monthly Payment Statement. Unused
Facility Fee payments which cover less than one (1) month shall be prorated
based on the actual number of days elapsed. Any accrued but unpaid Unused
Facility Fees shall also be due and payable on the Expiration
Date.
2.4.4. Minimum Usage
Fee.
The
average annual outstanding borrowings under the Note (as reduced by the
outstanding principal amounts of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) must equal
or exceed the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount (as reduced by the outstanding
principal amounts of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) in order for the
Borrower to avoid paying any Minimum Usage Fee under this Section
2.4.4. In the
event the average annual outstanding borrowings under the Note (as reduced by
the outstanding principal amounts of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) does not
equal or exceed the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount (as reduced by the outstanding
principal amounts of all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches), Borrower shall pay to
Lender, as further consideration for Lender's commitment hereunder, a
nonrefundable minimum usage fee (the "Minimum Usage Fee")
equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the product of (a) the
Deemed Minimum Loan Amount (reduced by the outstanding principal amounts of all
Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches) times (b) the lowest applicable Net Spread and
(ii) the total amount of interest attributable to the Net Spread collected
during the calendar year. The Minimum Usage Fee shall accrue from the Closing
Date to the Expiration Date, shall be computed for each calendar year, or part
thereof, during the term of this Agreement and shall be payable, if at all, in
arrears on the Payment Date scheduled for January of each year of the term
hereof, provided that any
Minimum Usage Fee due in the year in which the Expiration Date falls shall be
due and payable on the Expiration Date. Upon Borrower's election to terminate
the Loan and the parties' obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to the
terms of Section
2.13.2, Borrower
shall pay the liquidated Minimum Usage Fee computed in accordance with Section
2.13.4. Minimum
Usage Fee payments which cover a period of less than one (1) calendar year shall
be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4.5. Intentionally
omitted.
2.4.6. Margin and Net
Spread.
2.4.6.1. Fixed Rate Borrowing
Tranches. The Margin that will be used to determine the Fixed Rate
applicable for any Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche advanced on or after the Closing
Date shall be determined by Lender based on the then current market level
determined in its sole discretion and communicated to Borrower in accordance
with Section
2.5.2.
If Borrower exercises the First Extension Option or the Second Extension Option,
as applicable, in accordance with Section
2.2 hereof,
(i) the Fixed Rate that will be applicable for any Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche
existing on the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date during such applicable
extension period will be redetermined by Lender based on the then current market
level determined in its sole discretion and communicated to Borrower (provided, that Lender
will communicate an indicative (but not final) Fixed Rate for such extension
period to Borrower at least forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable
Scheduled Maturity Date) and (ii) the Margin that will be used to determine the
Fixed Rate applicable for any Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche advanced during such
applicable extension period shall be determined by Lender based on the then
current market level determined in its sole discretion and communicated to
Borrower in accordance with Section
2.5.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower exercises the First Extension
Option or the Second Extension Option, as applicable, in accordance with Section
2.2 hereof,
Borrower may elect at any time during such extension period to convert any Fixed
Rate Borrowing Tranche existing on the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date to a
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, and the Net Spread applicable for any such Base
Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) during such extension period shall be determined by
Lender in accordance with Section
2.4.6.2 below.
2.4.6.2. Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches. The net spread (the "Net Spread")
applicable for any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche on or before the third
anniversary of the Closing Date shall be as set forth in Schedule
3.2. On and after
the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Net Spread applicable for any
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche shall be redetermined by Lender in its sole
discretion and communicated to Borrower in writing at least thirty-five (35)
days prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date (provided, that Lender
will communicate
indicative (but not final) Net Spreads at least forty-five (45) days prior to
the third anniversary of the Closing Date). Lender and Borrower shall evidence
the new applicable Net Spread pursuant to this Section
2.4.6.2 by
executing a Net Spread confirmation substantially in the form attached hereto as
Schedule
2.4.6.2 (provided, that
Borrower's failure to deliver thirty (30) days advance written Notice of its
election to exercise the Revolving Credit Note Re-pricing Termination Option
pursuant to Section
2.13.2 shall
be deemed to be Borrower's acceptance of the new applicable Net Spread pursuant
to this Section
2.4.6.2). With
respect to (i) the First Extension Option, the Net Spread applicable for any
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche during such extension period shall be determined by
Lender in its sole discretion and communicated to Borrower (provided, that
Lender will communicate indicative (but not final) Net Spreads for such
extension period to Borrower at least forty-five (45) days prior to the initial
Scheduled Maturity Date) and (ii) the Second Extension Option, the Net Spread
applicable for any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche during such extension period then
current shall be determined by Lender in its sole discretion and communicated to
Borrower (provided, that Lender
will communicate indicative (but not final) Net Spreads for such extension
period to Borrower at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity
Date as extended pursuant to Section
2.2(d)). Lender
and Borrower shall evidence the new applicable Net Spread pursuant to this Section
2.4.6.2, by
executing a Scheduled Maturity Date extension confirmation substantially in the
form attached hereto as Schedule
2.2.
- 20 -
2.5. Loan
Requests.
2.5.1. Except
as otherwise provided herein, Borrower may from time to time prior to the
Maturity Date request Lender to make an advance, consistent with the Sublimits,

2.5. Borrower may
at any one time submit one (1) or more Loan Requests; each Loan Request shall

In the case of a Loan Request for a Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, Borrower shall
deliver a Loan Request, fully completed, authorized and executed by Servicer and
an Authorized Officer, indicating (a) the Interest Period for purposes of
determining the Reference Bills Rate (or such alternative index as may be
selected by Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section

the Base Rate, including the Reference Bills® Rate (or such alternative index as
may be selected by Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section

the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date during such applicable extension period)
and term (which shall be the remaining term of the Loan to the initial Scheduled
Maturity Date or, if Borrower has elected the First Extension Option or the
Second Extension Option, as applicable, in accordance with Section
2.2 hereof, to the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date during such
applicable extension period) of the requested Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche.
Borrower must deliver the Loan Request to Lender, subject to Lender's review and
approval, at least three (3) full Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing
Date set forth in the Loan Request and must comply with Section
2.5.2 hereof (it being understood that Lender shall be under no
obligation to fund such requested advances until all conditions set forth in
this Agreement and the Loan Documents for such advances are
satisfied).
- 21 -
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Request made contemporaneously with a
request for the addition of a real property under Section
2.9 shall be
subject to the time requirements set forth in Section
2.9. Subject to
the terms of Section
2.5.2,
Borrower may revoke any pending but unfunded Loan Request provided that
Borrower reimburses Lender and Servicer for any reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Loan
Request.
2.5.2. Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche
Rate-Lock.
2.5.2.1. Lender
shall determine in its sole discretion the actual Margin that will be used to
determine the Fixed Rate that will be applied to the requested Fixed Rate
Borrowing Tranche. Lender shall communicate its Margin determination to Servicer
and Servicer will communicate the Margin to Borrower via telephone. If Borrower
is satisfied with Lender's Margin determination, Borrower shall request that
Lender deliver to Borrower a Commitment Letter setting forth the Margin and
certain other applicable terms for such requested Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche.
Borrower shall execute the applicable Commitment Letter and send a fully
completed copy thereof to Lender via facsimile before 4:00 p.m. Washington D.C.
local time on the same date as Lender delivers the applicable Commitment Letter
to Borrower (provided Lender has delivered the applicable Commitment Letter to
Borrower by 3:00 p.m. Washington D.C. local time; if Lender delivers the
applicable Commitment Letter after 3:00 p.m. Washington D.C. local time, then
Borrower shall have until 4:00 p.m. Washington D.C. local time of the following
Business Day to send a fully executed and completed copy thereof to Lender via
facsimile). Borrower shall thereafter deliver a fully executed original of the
applicable Commitment Letter to Lender within one (1) Business Day. If Borrower
wishes to lock a Fixed Rate based on the indicated Margin referenced in the
applicable Commitment Letter ("Rate
Lock"), provided Borrower
is in compliance with the Sublimits on the date of such Rate Lock, Borrower may,
within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Commitment Letter, contact via
telephone the Servicer between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Washington,
D.C. local time. Lender shall confirm Rate Lock via telephone and shall deliver
to Borrower an updated fully completed Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter
evidencing the Fixed Rate applicable to the requested Fixed Rate Borrowing
Tranche. Borrower shall deliver (i) completed and executed copies of the Loan
Request, Fixed Rate Note and Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter, authorized and
executed by Servicer (in the case of a Loan Request) and by an Authorized
Officer, to Lender via facsimile before 4:00 p.m. Washington D.C. local time on
the same date as Rate Lock (provided Rate Lock has occurred prior to 3:00 p.m.
Washington D.C. local time; if Rate Lock occurs after 3:00 p.m. Washington D.C.
local time, then Borrower shall have until 4:00 p.m. Washington D.C. local time
of the following Business Day to send such executed copies to Lender via
facsimile) and (ii) originals of the applicable Loan Request, Fixed Rate
Note and Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter to Lender within two (2) Business
Days of Rate Lock. In the event Borrower for any reason fails to Rate Lock
within five (5) Business Days of the date of the applicable Commitment Letter,
Lender shall have no further obligation to advance any funds at the Margin
referenced in such Commitment Letter.
- 22 -
2.5.2.2. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender will incur certain costs in connection with a Rate Lock
and, if after Rate Lock, Borrower (i) fails to deliver the relevant fully
executed originals of the applicable Commitment Letter, Exhibit A to the
Commitment Letter, Loan Request and Fixed Rate Note to Lender in accordance with
Section
2.5.2.1 or
(ii) otherwise revokes the pending but unfunded Loan Request (each, a "Rate Lock Termination
Event"), Lender will suffer damages for taking a position in the
financial markets in reliance on its expectation that Borrower would deliver the
relevant fully executed originals of the applicable Commitment Letter, Exhibit A
to the Commitment Letter, Loan Request and Fixed Rate Note to Lender in
accordance with Section
2.5.2.1 and
accept the advance of the requested Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche. Borrower shall
be obligated to promptly reimburse Lender for any breakage fee as calculated
pursuant to Schedule
2.5.2 hereof (the "Breakage Fee") if a
Rate Lock Termination Event occurs after Rate Lock. Borrower's obligation to pay
any Breakage Fee hereunder shall be secured by the Collateral Pool and the
Collateral Pool Property Documents. In addition to any Breakage Fees due
hereunder, Borrower shall also reimburse Servicer for any reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
Rate Lock hereunder.
2.5.2.3. Upon
receipt of fully executed originals of the Commitment Letter, Exhibit A to the
Commitment Letter, the Loan Request and the Fixed Rate Note and provided
Borrower does not revoke the pending but unfunded Loan Request after Rate Lock,
Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after all other conditions to
advance are satisfied under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, deliver the
requested funds to Borrower pursuant to the applicable Loan Request; provided, that
interest under any Fixed Rate Note shall not begin to accrue until Lender
delivers such requested funds to Borrower.
2.5.3. Sublimits.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower may borrow hereunder only to
the extent that after giving effect to such borrowing (collectively, the "Sublimits"):
2.5.3.1. the
Loan to Value Ratio shall not exceed the Maximum Loan to Value
Ratio;
2.5.3.2. the
Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.60:
1.00;
2.5.3.3. the
number of Borrowing Tranches outstanding shall not exceed ten (10);
and
2.5.3.4. the
Loan shall not exceed the Commitment.
- 23 -
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event either of the Sublimits set forth in Section
2.5.3.1 or
Section
2.5.3.2 above are not satisfied
at any time prior to the Expiration Date, Borrower shall be entitled to renew or
consolidate (but not increase the outstanding principal amount of) such existing
outstanding Borrowing Tranches with an Interest Period of one month, provided that, (i) as
of the date of such renewal or consolidation (a) no Event of Default, Potential
Default or Material Adverse Change, other than Borrower's failure to comply with
Sections
2.5.3.1 or
2.5.3.2, shall then exist, (b)
Borrower's failure to comply with Sections
2.5.3.1 or
2.5.3.2 shall have been for a
period of less than ninety (90) days, and (c) Borrower is otherwise in full
compliance with all other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and (ii)
throughout the period of Borrower's non-compliance with Sections
2.5.3.1 or
2.5.3.2, Borrower shall comply with
the provisions of Section
4.5. Borrower
must assure compliance with Sections
2.5.3.1 or
2.5.3.2 pursuant to the
provisions of Section
4.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance
with the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's
determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long
as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to
all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall
automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such
Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at
all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2, as a result
of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest
rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). In the event that the Facility Debt
Service Coverage Ratio shall continue to be less than required pursuant to Section
2.5.3.2 or the Loan to Value Ratio shall exceed the ratio permitted in
accordance with Section
2.5.3.1 for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days from the date of
Borrower's receipt of Notice of such non-compliance, the same shall constitute
an Event of Default.
2.6. The
Loan.
After
receipt by Servicer of a Loan Request pursuant to Section
2.5.1, and
subject to the Sublimits of Section
2.5.3 and
the provisions of Section
5.2, Lender,
relying on the truth and accuracy of the matters set forth in the Loan Request
(but without any obligation to inquire into the truth and accuracy of such
matters), shall fund the amount requested in such Loan Request to Borrower in
U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date. Provided all
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
satisfied, the Borrowing Date shall be the Business Day set forth in the Loan
Request, provided that such
date is at least three (3) but not more than five (5) Business Days after the
date of the Loan Request. Lender shall fund the amounts requested in any Loan
Request by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Borrowing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Loan Request (other than a Loan Request which is not related to
or dependent on the addition of a real property under Section
2.9) made
contemporaneously with a request for the addition of a real property under Section
2.9 shall be
subject to the time requirements set forth in Section
2.9.
2.7. The
Note.
The
obligation of Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Loan, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by the Note payable to
the order of Lender.
- 24 -
2.8. Use of
Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Loan may be used by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying
on a business or commercial enterprise (as set forth in the Borrower's
organizational documents) and not for personal, family, household or
agricultural purposes.
2.9. Additions to the Collateral
Pool.
2.9.1. Procedure for Proposing a
Real Property Addition to the Collateral Pool.
Borrower
or Proposed Borrower, as the case may be, may propose to add one or more
multi-family real properties to the Collateral Pool by delivering to Lender (i)
a written proposal for addition of the proposed real property(ies), (ii) a
Mortgage Review Fee for each proposed real property, (iii) a Seismic Report Fee,
if and as applicable, for each proposed real property, and (iv) the Underwriting
Materials with respect to the proposed real property(ies) and with respect to
Proposed Borrower, if applicable, provided that, no
more than one (1) such proposal shall be submitted to Lender in any one (1)
Month. Upon Lender's receipt of all fees required hereunder and all Underwriting
Materials, Lender shall notify Borrower or Proposed Borrower of the same. The
determination of whether Borrower or Proposed Borrower has provided Lender with
all Underwriting Materials shall be in Lender's discretion. For purposes of this
Section
2.9, Borrower or
Proposed Borrower may submit a multi-family real property for addition to the
Collateral Pool, if Borrower or Proposed Borrower has a contract to purchase
such real property, provided that
Borrower or Proposed Borrower consummates the purchase of such real property on
or before the date such real property is proposed to be added to the Collateral
Pool. Both the Mortgage Review Fee and the Seismic Report Fee, if any, shall be
deemed earned upon delivery thereof, whether or not Lender approves or
disapproves such real property for addition hereunder. Borrower shall pay all
costs and expenses that Lender and Servicer incur in connection with any such
proposal to add a real property to the Collateral Pool, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and any reasonable costs and expenses
incurred with respect to third party reports, whether or not Lender approves or
disapproves such real property for addition hereunder. Borrower or its Affiliate
shall be permitted to engage and pay directly the third-party consultants to be
retained for the required property condition reports and environmental reports,
provided that
(A) Lender and Servicer approve in advance and in writing each such consultant
and the scope of each such report, and (B) each such report states that it is
made for the benefit, use and reliance of Lender and Servicer, as well as
Borrower and/or its Affiliate.
2.9.2. Procedure for Adding a Real
Property to the Collateral Pool.
- 25 -
2.9.2.1. With
respect to any fully stabilized multi-family real property that Borrower or
Proposed Borrower, as the case may be, proposes for addition to the Collateral
Pool, Lender shall, within fifty (50) days of the date on which Lender notifies
Borrower or Proposed
Borrower that it has received all Underwriting Materials and all applicable
fees, use its best efforts
to accept or reject in writing the proposed real property on the basis of
whether such proposed real property meets Lender's then current requirements for
addition to the Collateral Pool, and in the event that Lender accepts the
proposed real property for addition to the Collateral Pool, Lender shall provide
Borrower with a written approval letter and use its best efforts to add such real property to
the Collateral Pool within twenty (20) days of the date of such acceptance, subject to Borrower's or
Proposed Borrower's timely performance of all obligations listed under
Section
2.9.2.2. Each property must pass Lender's own
assessment of earthquake risk to be included in the Collateral Pool.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no real property shall be
submitted for addition unless (x) the Collateral Pool Properties (after taking into consideration the
Market Value of the real property submitted for addition), in the aggregate,
have a Loan to Value Ratio as determined by Lender in its sole discretion no
greater than the Maximum Loan to Value Ratio and (y) such property has a value
as determined by Lender in its sole discretion that exceeds NINE MILLION NINE
HUNDRED NINETY-NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE AND NO/100 Dollars
($9,999,999.00). The failure of Lender to respond to Borrower's or Proposed
Borrower's request within such fifty (50) day period shall be deemed a rejection
by Lender of the proposal to add the real property to the Collateral Pool. If
Lender provides the reason(s) for such rejection, Borrower or Proposed Borrower
shall have fifty (50) days to cure or otherwise resolve to the satisfaction of
Lender, the objections of Lender to such proposed real property (Lender, in its
sole discretion, may require that Borrower provide within such fifty (50) day
cure period necessary updates of any or all of the Underwriting Materials). If
Borrower or Proposed Borrower does not satisfy Lender's objections, then such
proposal shall be deemed terminated (unless Lender, in its sole discretion shall
opt to extend such fifty (50) day cure period) provided that, any such termination shall not
prevent Borrower or Proposed Borrower from subsequently resubmitting a real
property (together with all applicable fees due hereunder and the Underwriting
Materials) for addition to the Collateral Pool, further provided that Borrower may not resubmit the
same real property for addition to the Collateral Pool more often than one (1)
time in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
foregoing to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the addition of any real
property increase the amount of the Commitment.
2.9.2.2. If
and upon the date of acceptance by Lender of a multi-family real property
submitted for addition to the Collateral Pool (such acceptance to be in writing,
together with Lender's determination of the Initial Market Value of such real
property and the Net Operating Income of such property), whether following the
initial proposal of such real property or after satisfying any objections of
Lender, such real property shall be added to the Collateral Pool, provided that, prior to such addition (or in
the instance of the documents required under item (iii)(b) below, as soon as
practicable after such addition), Borrower or Proposed Borrower shall (i) pay
the Addition Fee pursuant to Section
2.9.3,
(ii) pay all costs and
expenses that Lender or Servicer incur in connection with the inclusion of such
real property, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, and (iii) submit
the following to Lender: (a) all Collateral Pool Property Documents reasonably
requested by Lender, where appropriate, fully executed and where appropriate duly
acknowledged and filed of record in the appropriate official public records, (b) copies of all
filing receipts and acknowledgements issued by any governmental authority
evidencing any recordation or filing necessary to perfect Lender's Lien on the
subject real property or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of
such recordation and filing of the applicable Security Instrument, (c) evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, (1)
in the case of personal property, the Lien constitutes a first priority security
interest in favor of Lender and, (2) in the case of real property, the Security Instrument constitutes a
valid and perfected first priority Lien in favor of Lender (such evidence to be
in the form of a title insurance policy acceptable to Lender in both form and
substance), and (d) opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and (iv)
in the case of a Proposed
Borrower, such Proposed Borrower shall execute (a) separate allonges to the
Revolving Credit Note and
any Fixed Rate Note(s) then outstanding and (b) a joinder agreement,
both of which shall be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion. If
Borrower or Proposed Borrower fails to perform any of the acts, where
applicable, or to submit
any of the documents and evidence listed under (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above
together with any and all
updates to the Underwriting Materials reasonably requested by Lender within
fifty (50) days of the date of Lender's acceptance, Lender may at its option
reject the proposed real property and terminate such proposal. In the event that
Borrower or Proposed Borrower performs all of the acts and submits all of the
documents and evidence listed in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above within fifty
(50) days of the date of Lender's acceptance, the proposed real property shall
be added to the Collateral Pool.
- 26 -
2.9.3. Addition
Fee.
For each
property added to the Collateral Pool, Borrower shall pay all of Lender's or
Servicer's costs and expenses in connection with such addition (including, but
not limited to, attorneys' fees) and a fee to Lender, in addition to any other
fees payable to Lender upon such addition, in the amount of FIFTEEN THOUSAND and
NO/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) (the "Addition Fee"). The
Addition Fee shall be due and payable upon consummation of the addition of the
proposed real property to the Collateral Pool.
2.10. Release of
Collateral.
Lender shall, upon thirty (30) days
advance written Notice, release the Liens granted hereunder with respect to a
Collateral Pool Property or Properties which constitute(s) less than
all Collateral Pool
Properties, provided that (i) prior to such release
Borrower shall pay Lender a non-refundable fee of TEN THOUSAND and
NO/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (a "Release
Fee'") and all costs and
expenses that Lender or Servicer incur in connection with such release,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and all other amounts due to
Lender hereunder in connection with such release, including, without limitation,
Prepayment Fees and accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable, (ii) at the time
of the request for such release, no Event of Default or Potential Default shall
exist, (iii) after giving effect to such release, no Event of Default or
Potential Default shall
exist, and (iv) Borrower shall be in compliance with all provisions hereof,
including without
limitation, the Sublimits, provided, however, that if such release would otherwise
cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits set forth in
Section
2.5.3,
Borrower shall have the
opportunity to cure the same prior to or simultaneously with such release by
either (a) pledging multi-family real property collateral, in form, substance,
value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, in
accordance with Section
2.9 or (b) prepaying so much of the Loan as
is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the
provisions of Section
4.3.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the Sublimits within
fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination of Borrower's
non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply
with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall automatically increase
to one-hundred basis
points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant
to Sections
2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at all, in accordance
with Schedule
3.2,
as a result of the
duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the
interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall
automatically increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). Notwithstanding such
thirty (30) day time period to obtain a release, Lender shall upon five (5)
Business Days Notice provide a "payoff letter", if applicable, stating the
amount necessary to obtain a release so as to effectuate a sale or refinance of
the subject Collateral Pool Property. Upon the release of a Lien on a
Collateral Pool Property,
if the Borrower that is the owner of such Collateral Pool Property owns
no other Collateral Pool
Properties, such Borrower shall be released from its obligations under the Loan
Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances may Borrower receive a
release of the Security Instrument with respect to the last property in the
Collateral Pool prior to the Maturity Date, unless Borrower has elected to
terminate this Agreement under Section
2.13 hereunder. Borrower may revoke a
pending request to release a Collateral Pool Property at any time; provided that Borrower pays all of Lender's
reasonable costs and expenses with respect to such release request, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees; provided, further, that Borrower shall not be entitled
to reimbursement of the Release Fee paid to Lender in connection with such
request to release a Collateral Pool Property.
- 27 -
2.11.
Payment of the Loan
Balance Without Termination.
Prior to
the Maturity Date, Borrower shall have the right to repay the entire Loan (i.e.,
the Revolving Credit Note and any Fixed Rate Note then outstanding), subject in
each instance to the provisions of Sections
4.3 and
4.4, all
without any release of any Lien, and subsequently reborrow hereunder, provided that
Borrower is at such time, and thereafter remains, in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to
be in compliance with the Sublimits and the obligations to pay all fees due and
payable hereunder. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be entitled to any
additional advances or re-advances under (a) any Fixed Rate Note at any time or
(b) the Revolving Credit Note on or after the Maturity Date.
2.12. Valuations.
2.12.1. Timing and Procedure of
Valuation.
In addition to any other provisions
requiring valuations hereunder, Lender shall perform an annual valuation (the
"Valuation") to determine, in its sole but
reasonable discretion in accordance with its then current underwriting policies,
practices and procedures consistently applied, (i) the then Market Value and
(ii) the Net Operating Income of each of the Collateral Pool Properties, which
Valuation shall be performed on or about September 1st of each calendar year during the term
of this Agreement, commencing on or about September 1, 2009. In connection with
such Valuation, Borrower shall deliver to Servicer by no later than June 1 of
each calendar year, a current rent roll (which shall be no more than thirty (30)
days old) and a twelve (12) month operating statement with respect to each
Collateral Pool Property, each certified by an Authorized Officer. Any operating
statement required hereunder shall relate to the operations of the applicable
Collateral Pool Property during the preceding calendar year. Without limiting
the foregoing, each such rent roll and operating statement shall be in such form
and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably require and Lender may require
that any such rent rolls
and operating statements shall be verified by an independent party acceptable to
Lender.
- 28 -
2.12.2. Valuations that Disclose a
Decrease in Market Value and/or Net Operating Income.
If any
Valuation discloses that the Market Value and/or Net Operating Income of the
Collateral Pool Properties has decreased below the then current values or
calculations thereof, the Maximum Facility Available may be adjusted, if
necessary, in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.5.3, and in the
event such decrease in Market Value or Net Operating Income shall cause Borrower
to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits set forth in Section
2.5.3, Borrower
shall within the time periods set forth in (i) and (ii) below, cure the same by
bringing the Loan into compliance with the Sublimits, by either (i) within
ninety (90) days of Notice from Lender of such decrease, pledging multi-family
real property collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all
acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, in accordance with Section
2.9 or (ii)
within fifteen (15) days of Notice from Lender of such decrease, prepaying so
much of the Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in
accordance with the provisions of Section
4.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance
with the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's
determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long
as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to
all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall
automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such
Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at
all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2, as a result
of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest
rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01).
2.12.3. Valuations that Disclose an
Increase in Market Value and/or Net Operating Income
If any
Valuation discloses that the Market Value and/or Net Operating Income of the
Collateral Pool Properties has increased above the then current values thereof,
the Maximum Facility Available may be adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with
the provisions of Section
2.5.3, and
Borrower shall be entitled to borrow and reborrow hereunder, subject to the
Sublimits, up to the amount of the Commitment in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
2.13. Termination.
2.13.1. Rights to
Terminate.
Borrower
and Lender shall have the rights to terminate this Agreement or to accelerate
the Loan, as applicable, as set forth in this Section

2.13.2. Borrower's Right to
Terminate the Agreement. At any time during the term of the Loan,
Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in full and the

2.13.4. In
addition to the foregoing, upon receipt of Lender's written Notice pursuant to
Section
2.4.6.2 hereof of Lender's
redetermination of the Net Spread applicable to the Revolving Credit Note from
and after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall have the
one-time right (the "Revolving Credit Note
Re-pricing Termination Option") to terminate this Agreement in full and
the parties' obligations under the Loan Documents as of the third anniversary of
the Closing Date; provided that,
Borrower must satisfy the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this
Section
2.13.2; provided, further, that if (x)
Lender's redetermination of the Net Spread applicable on and after the third
anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with Section
2.4.6.2 results in the Net
Spread being greater than the Net Spread applicable on the Closing Date and (y)
Borrower elects the Revolving Credit Note Re-Pricing Termination Option,
Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees set forth in Section
2.13.4 hereof (except for the
Prepayment Fees specified therein). In the event Borrower has complied with the
requirements set forth in this Section
2.13.2. Lender
shall release the Liens granted hereunder on the Expiration Date in accordance
with Section
2.10. Without
limiting any other provision contained herein, in the event Borrower shall
revoke any such request to terminate its obligations under this Agreement in
full and the parties' obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Servicer in connection
with such revocation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees.
2.13.3. Lender's Right to
Accelerate.
Upon an
Event of Default that remains uncured by Borrower beyond the expiration of any
applicable cure period under this Agreement, the Note, or any other of the Loan
Documents, Lender shall have the right to (i) accelerate the Loan and to (ii)
collect the Prepayment Fee and liquidated fees pursuant to Section
2.13.4.
2.13.4. Fees Due Upon Early
Termination and/or Acceleration.
In the event Borrower shall terminate
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to the provisions of
Section
2.13.2,
or Lender shall accelerate
the Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.13.3 prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date,
Borrower shall pay (i) a Prepayment Fee with respect to each outstanding Base
Rate Borrowing Tranche calculated in accordance with Section

(ii) a Prepayment Fee for
each Fixed Rate Note calculated in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Fixed Rate Note, and (iii) an early termination fee ("Early
Termination Fee") equal to
the greater of (a) one percent (1.0%) of the unpaid principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Note and any Fixed Rate Note or (b) the sum of (x) a liquidated
Unused Facility Fee equal
to fifteen basis points (15) per annum (computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and actual
days elapsed) times the difference between the Commitment (as the same shall
exist as of such date) and the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount, for each Month which
will elapse from the Month in which such termination and/or acceleration occurs
through and including the Scheduled Maturity Date (provided, that if such termination and/or
acceleration of the Loan occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Closing
Date, then such fee shall be calculated through and including the third
anniversary of the Closing Date), such liquidated Unused Facility Fee to be discounted to
net present value at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate, together with
all accrued Unused Facility Fees payable as of the date of such termination, and
(y) a liquidated Minimum Usage Fee, to be calculated as the product of an
assumed Base Rate Borrowing Tranche in an amount equal to the Deemed Minimum
Loan Amount times the sum of (a) the lowest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (or any replacement schedule of Net
Spreads in accordance with Sections
2.2(d),
2.2(e) or 2.4.6.2) plus (b) the Servicing Spread, for each
Month which will elapse from the Month in which such termination and/or
acceleration occurs through and including the Scheduled Maturity Date,
(provided, that if such termination and/or
acceleration of the Loan occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Closing
Date, then such fee shall be calculated through and including the third
anniversary of the Closing Date) such liquidated Minimum Usage Fee to be
discounted to net present value at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate,
together with all accrued Minimum Usage Fees, if any, payable as of the date of
such termination and/or acceleration.

2.14. Material Adverse Change to
Borrower or a Collateral Pool Property.
If (i) Borrower or a Collateral Pool
Property experiences a Material Adverse Change or (ii) a Material Adverse Change
occurs with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents taken
as a whole, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the same in writing as soon
as Borrower has notice thereof. If Lender shall receive Notice of a Material
Adverse Change in accordance with the preceding sentence, or otherwise becomes
aware of a Material Adverse Change, which Material Adverse
Change affects a Collateral Pool Property, Lender may promptly conduct a Valuation of the
affected Collateral Pool Property pursuant to Section
2.12.
Until such time as such
Valuation, if requested, shall be completed, the Collateral Pool Property which
experienced the Material Adverse Change, or which is owned by a Borrower that
experienced a Material Adverse Change, shall be deemed for the purposes of
determining whether any new borrowing request satisfies all of the Sublimits set
forth in Section
2.5.3 to have the Market Value and Net
Operating Income reasonably determined and quantified by Lender upon the
information then available to Lender. Lender shall promptly provide Borrower
with written Notice of the
results of such Valuation. If the results of such Valuation disclose that
the Market Value of the
affected Collateral Pool Property has decreased, then the Market Value shall
thereafter be deemed to be the amount shown in such Valuation. In the event that
such Valuation hereunder
shall cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits set forth in
Section
2.5.3,
Borrower shall, within the
time periods set for the in (x) and (y) below, cure the same by bringing the
Loan into compliance with the Sublimits by either (x) within ninety (90) days of
the Notice of such valuation, pledging multi-family real property collateral in
form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole
discretion, in accordance with Section
2.9 or (y) within fifteen (15) days of
Notice from Lender of such decrease, prepaying so much of the Loan as is
necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the
provisions of Section
4.3. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the Sublimits within
fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination of Borrower's
non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply
with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall automatically increase
to one-hundred basis
points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant
to Sections
2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at all, in accordance
with Schedule
3.2,
as a result of the
duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the
interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall
automatically increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). If Lender shall
receive Notice of a Material Adverse Change from Borrower hereunder, or
otherwise becomes aware of a Material Adverse Change which affects Borrower or
the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents taken as a whole,
Borrower shall immediately provide any information or documents reasonably requested by
Lender, including, but not limited to, (a) with respect to a Material Adverse
Change which affects Borrower, financial statements and Borrower's business plan
to cure such Material Adverse Change or (b) with respect to a Material Adverse
Change which affects the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents taken as a whole, replacement documents in form and substance
acceptable to Lender in its discretion, together with a legal opinion regarding
the enforceability of such replacement documents, acceptable to Lender in its
discretion.
- 31 -
2.15. Release of Collateral
Followed by a Permanent Loan.
2.15.1. Permanent
Loan.
Borrower
may request that Lender cause Servicer to make a permanent loan (the "Permanent Loan") to
be secured by one or more Collateral Pool Properties designated by Borrower (the
"Permanent Loan
Collateral") to be simultaneously released from the Collateral Pool and
encumbered in favor of Servicer as security for Borrower's obligations under the
Permanent Loan, which request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section
2.15.2. The
Permanent Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Streamlined Refinancing Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no
circumstances may Borrower receive a release of the Security Instrument with
respect to the last property in the Collateral Pool prior to the Maturity Date,
unless Borrower has elected to terminate this Agreement under Section
2.13 hereunder.
2.15.2. Procedure for Making a
Permanent Loan.
Borrower may request that Lender cause
Servicer to make a Permanent Loan to Borrower, which request (i) shall be in
writing, which writing shall specify (a) the Collateral Pool Property(ies) that
will constitute the Permanent Loan Collateral, (b) the original principal amount
of the requested Permanent Loan, which amount shall be greater than or equal to
TEN MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), (c) the related reduction in
the Maximum Facility Available, (d) whether Borrower has selected Lender's then
current early rate lock delivery option, and (e) any payment or prepayment of a
Borrowing Tranche, and (ii) shall be accompanied by (a) any fees then due and
owing under Lender's Streamlined Refinancing Program for each Collateral Pool
Property proposed by Borrower to be subject to the Permanent Loan, and (b) the
Underwriting Materials. Following receipt of all of the items specified in (i)
and (ii) of the previous sentence, Lender shall use its best efforts to consent
to Borrower's request within sixty (60) days of such Notice, provided that (1) at the time of such request
no Event of Default or
Potential Default exists, (2) the Permanent Loan shall be made in accordance
with the terms and
conditions of the Streamlined Refinancing Program, (3) after giving effect to
such release no Event of Default or Potential Default shall exist and Borrower
will be in compliance with all provisions hereof, including the Sublimits set
forth in Section
2.5.3,
further provided that if any release occasioned by a
Permanent Loan would otherwise cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the
Sublimits, Borrower shall have the opportunity to cure the same, prior to or
simultaneously with the release and the consummation of the Permanent Loan
(which shall occur pursuant to the Streamlined Refinancing Program), by either
(A) pledging collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable
to Lender, in its sole discretion, or (B) prepaying so much of the Loan as is
necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the
provisions of Section
4.3, (4) Borrower shall provide evidence
to Lender of title insurance in form and substance acceptable to Lender and in
the face amount of the Permanent Loan, (5) the proposed Borrower under the
Permanent Loan shall execute and deliver such documents as Lender, in its
discretion, may request in order to evidence the making of the Permanent Loan
and in order to grant Lender a first priority Lien on the real and personal
property constituting the Permanent Loan Collateral subject, in each case, to
any Permitted Exceptions, and (6) Borrower shall pay Lender any fees then due
and owing under Lender's Streamlined Refinancing Program. Thereafter, Lender
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Permanent Loan
within ninety (90) days after its consent to Borrower's request thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with
the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination
of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower
fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base
Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall
automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown on
Schedule
3.2 (as such Net Spreads are adjusted by
Lender pursuant to
Sections
2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at all, in
accordance with Schedule
3.2,
as a result of the
duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate
applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by
one-hundred basis points (0.01). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that Borrower selects Lender's then current early rate lock delivery option,
Lender shall use its best efforts, subject to Borrower's timely compliance with
Lender's requests, to lock the interest rate for the requested Permanent Loan
within fifteen (15) Business Days of Borrower's Notice hereunder. Any Permanent
Loan granted pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall not reduce the
Commitment hereunder. Simultaneous with the closing of the Permanent Loan,
Lender shall release the Lien granted hereunder on the Permanent Loan
Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the release and
consummation of the Permanent Loan, Borrower may by written Notice revoke its
request for a release and a Permanent Loan pursuant to this Section
2.15;
provided, however, that
Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer respectively, for Lender's and
Servicer's reasonable costs and expenses, including breakage costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and any other fees due under this Agreement, that
Lender or Servicer incur in connection with such proposed release and Permanent
Loan financing prior to Borrower's revocation.
- 32 -
2.16. Loan
Documents.
From time
to time, Lender in its sole discretion revises its form Loan Documents to add,
delete or change requirements, conditions and other provisions of its form
documents. The revised form of Loan Documents shall be used in conjunction with
any Fixed Rate Notes executed after the date hereof, or any Properties added to
the Collateral Pool after the date hereof.
3.
INTEREST
RATES
- 33 -
3.1. Interest
Rate.
The
interest rate on each Borrowing Tranche evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note
shall be the Base Rate or, if required pursuant to Sections
3.3.2 or
3.4.3 hereof, the Prime Rate.
Interest rates under this Agreement and each Note shall be computed on the basis
of a year of three hundred sixty (36Q) days and actual days
elapsed.
3.2. Interest Rate
Determinations.
3.2.1. Prime Rate and Base Rate
Determination.
(a)
The initial Prime Rate applicable to any Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche required
under Sections
3.3.2 or
3.4.3 shall equal the Prime
Rate as of the Borrowing Date or Renewal Date, as applicable. The Prime Rate
shall thereafter fluctuate in accordance with any changes to the Prime Rate as
published from time to time during the term of the Prime Rate Borrowing
Tranche.
(b)
The Base Rate applicable to any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche hereunder
shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, equal the Base Rate calculated
as of the date of the Loan Request and set forth in the Loan Request. In the
event that the Base Rate, calculated as of the Borrowing Date, is more than
twenty-five basis points (0.0025) higher or lower than the Base Rate set forth
in the Loan Request, the Base Rate applicable to such Loan Request shall instead
be the Base Rate calculated as of the Borrowing Date. Thereafter, (i) the
portion of the Base Rate attributable to the Reference Bills® Rate (or such
alternative index as may be selected by Lender in accordance with the provisions
of Section
3.4) for any
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche shall be redetermined as of each renewal of such
Borrowing Tranche pursuant to Section
3.3.3 and
(ii) the Margin for all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding shall be
redetermined as of each determination and redetermination of the Net Spread. As
determined and redetermined pursuant to this Agreement, the same Margin shall
apply to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding. The portion of the
Margin attributable to the Net Spread shall be determined based on the Facility
Debt Service Coverage Ratio in accordance with the table set forth in Schedule
3.2. The Facility
Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Net Operating Income shall each be redetermined
in accordance with the definitions thereof, as applicable.
3.2.2. Prime Rate, Base Rate and
Margin Quotations.
Borrower
may call Servicer on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be
delivered or prior to the end of an Interest Period, to receive both a
calculation of the resulting Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio for a proposed
Prime Rate (if required pursuant to Sections
3.3.2 or 3.4.3) or Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche and an indication of the rates then in effect, including the Margin, but
both parties acknowledge that such projection shall not be binding on Lender or
Borrower, nor shall such projection affect the rate of interest which thereafter
is actually in effect when the election is made.
3.3. Interest
Periods.
Upon each Loan Request for a new Base
Rate Borrowing Tranche, and upon each Renewal Request applicable to a Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche, Borrower shall notify Lender of the period (the "Interest
Period") (which may only
be one-month (having original durations to maturity of approximately thirty (30)
days), three-month (having original durations to maturity of approximately
ninety (90) days), six-month (having original durations to maturity of
approximately one hundred eighty (180) days) or twelve-month (having original
durations to maturity of approximately three hundred sixty (360) days)) for
which the Reference Bills® Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, shall be
determined.
- 34 -
3.3.1. Interest Period to End on a
Business Day.
If the
last day of any Interest Period is not a Business Day, the Interest Period shall
be deemed to mature on the Business Day immediately following such
date.
3.3.2. No Interest Periods Beyond
the Expiration Date.
Borrower
shall not select or renew an Interest Period for any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche
that would end after the Expiration Date. If at the time of any such selection
or renewal the period of time remaining prior to the Expiration Date is less
than thirty (30) days then such Borrowing Tranche shall bear interest at the
Prime Rate. No Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche may remain outstanding in excess of
thirty (30) days at any one time.
3.3.3. Renewals.
In the case of a redetermination of an
Interest Period at the end of an Interest Period, for purposes of calculating
interest due under the applicable Base Rate Borrowing Tranche the first day of
the new Interest Period shall be the first Business Day immediately following
the last day of the preceding Interest Period (such date, the "Renewal
Date"). For each Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche, if no new Interest Period is specified within two (2)
Business Days prior to the last day of such Interest Period, by delivery to
Lender via facsimile of a fully completed, authorized and executed request
therefor (a "Renewal
Request") in the form
attached hereto as Schedule
3.3.3,
the Borrowing Tranche
shall be renewed for an Interest Period of one month at the Base Rate then
applicable to a Borrowing Tranche disbursed on the applicable Renewal Date
having a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, (i) no Borrowing Tranche may be renewed with a principal amount of
less than TEN MILLION and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and (ii) in the event
the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than required in accordance
with Section
2.5.3.2 or the Loan to Value Ratio exceeds the
ratio required in accordance with Section
2.5.3.1, Borrower may renew or consolidate (but
not increase the outstanding principal amount of) any Borrowing Tranche(s) with
Interest Periods of one-month then outstanding, all in
accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.3.3,
provided
that, as of the date of
such renewal or consolidation (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default,
other than Borrower's failure to comply with Section
2.5.3.1
or Section
2.5.3.2, shall then exist, (b) Borrower's
failure to comply with Section
2.5.3.1
or Section
2.5.3.2 shall have been for a period of less
than ninety (90) days, and (c) Borrower is otherwise in full compliance with all
other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, including the provisions of
Section
4.5. Borrower must assure compliance with
Section
2.5.3.1
or Section
2.5.3.2 pursuant to the provisions of
Section
4.3.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the Sublimits within
fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination of Borrower's
non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i)
the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding
(and thereafter renewed) shall automatically increase to one-hundred basis
points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such Net Spreads are adjusted by
Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d), 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at all, in
accordance with Schedule
3.2,
as a result of the
duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate
applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by
one-hundred basis points (0.01).
- 35 -
3.3.4. Interest After
Default.
So long
as (i) any payment under this Agreement remains past due for thirty (30) days or
more, or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
interest on the Loan shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the
earlier of the due date of the first unpaid installment or the occurrence of
such other Event of Default at the default rate set forth in the Note. If the
unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest on the Loan are not paid in
full on the Expiration Date, the unpaid principal balance and all accrued
interest on the Loan shall thereafter bear interest at the default rate set
forth in the Note. Borrower acknowledges that (a) its failure to make timely
payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and
processing the Loan, (b) during the time that any installment is delinquent for
more than thirty (30) days, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses
arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on
Lender's ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other
investment opportunities, and (c) it is extremely difficult and impractical to
determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that,
during the time that any installment is delinquent for more than thirty (30)
days or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender's risk
of nonpayment will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be
compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the
rate of interest set forth in the Note represents a fair and reasonable
estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this
Agreement, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of
Borrower's delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled
to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent
loan.
3.3.5. Late
Charge.
If any
amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, other
than (i) the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Note payable on the
Maturity Date, (ii) the then outstanding amount of any Fixed Rate Note payable
on the Maturity Date, or (iii) the then outstanding amount of the Loan payable
upon acceleration of the Note, is not received by Lender as provided in the
Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a
late charge as specified in the Note. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to
make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing
and processing the Loan, and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to
determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge
payable specified in the Note represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking
into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, of the
additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late
charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at
the default rate specified in the Note.

3.4. Reference Bills® Rate
Unascertainable: Illegality; Increased Costs.
3.4.1. Unascertainable.
In the
event Xxxxxxx Mac shall at any time cease to designate any unsecured general
obligations of Xxxxxxx Mac as "Reference Bills®", at its option, Lender may (i)
select from time to time another unsecured general obligation of Xxxxxxx Mac
having original maturities, most comparable to the term of the Interest Period
for the applicable Borrowing Tranche, and issued by Xxxxxxx Mac at regularly
scheduled auctions within the sixty (60) day period prior to the first day of
such Interest Period, and the term "Reference Bills®" as used herein shall mean
such other unsecured general obligations as selected by Lender; or (ii) for any
one or more Interest Periods, use the applicable LIBO Rate for purposes of
determining the Base Rate for such Interest Period(s). If Xxxxxxx Mac has not
conducted an auction of its Reference Bills® or other unsecured general
obligations within sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the Interest Period
for the proposed Borrowing Tranche, the Base Rate shall be determined as the
LIBO Rate plus the Margin for such Interest Period(s).
3.4.2. Illegality; Increased
Costs.
At any
time at which (i) the Reference Bills® Rate shall not be available and the Base
Rate shall be determined based on the LIBO Rate in accordance with the
provisions of Section
3.4.1 and
(ii) Lender shall have also reasonably determined that (a) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate, (b) a
contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London
interbank market, (c) the making, maintenance or funding of any Borrowing
Tranche bearing interest in part at the LIBO Rate has been made unlawful by
Lender's compliance in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any
such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law, but other than as a
result of any misconduct by Lender), (d) the Base Rate (as determined with
reference to the LIBO Rate) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
Lender of the establishment or maintaining of any such Borrowing Tranche, or (e)
after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars
for the relevant Interest Period for a Borrowing Tranche are not available to
Lender in the London interbank market, then Lender shall have the rights
specified in Section
3.4.3.
3.4.3. Lender's
Rights.
In the case of the events specified in
items (i) and (ii) of Section
3.4.2 above, Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower thereof. Upon the date as shall be specified in such Notice, the
obligation of Lender to make advances under any Borrowing Tranche(s) at the Base
Rate shall be suspended until Lender shall have later notified Borrower of
Lender's reasonable determination that the circumstances set forth in
Section
3.4.2 no longer exist. If at any time Lender
notifies Borrower that it has made a determination under Section
3.4.2, then with respect to any Loan Request previously
submitted but not yet funded, and with respect to any Borrowing Tranche on which
an Interest Period shall thereafter expire, each such new or renewal Borrowing
Tranche(s) shall thereafter bear interest at the Prime Rate (unless, with
respect to a pending Loan Request, Borrower immediately notifies
Lender by written Notice of its election not to borrow such funds, or, in the
case of a Renewal Borrowing Tranche, Borrower instead elects to repay
such Borrowing Tranche upon the
expiration of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement), in each case subject to Section
3.3.2 hereof.

PAYMENTS
4.1. Payments.
All
payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Unused

hereunder shall be due and payable on the date when due without presentment,
demand, protest, or notice of any kind, including, but not limited to, notice of
Lender's intent to accelerate Borrower's Obligations under the Loan and notice
of such acceleration, all of which (unless expressly provided in the Loan
Documents) are hereby waived by Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or
other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.
Such payments shall be made to Lender in immediately available funds when due.
Lender's Monthly Payment Statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be

(1) year of the date of such Monthly Payment Statement.
4.2. Payment
Dates.
Subject
to the provisions of Section
4.3, interest on
the Loan shall be payable in arrears and shall be due, together with all other
amounts set forth on the applicable Monthly Payment Statement, prior to 2:00
Eastern Time on the first (1st) day of any calendar month during the term hereof
(the "Payment

to an account specified by Servicer. Lender shall deliver to Borrower an invoice

the succeeding calendar month. In the instance of a renewal of an Interest
Period pursuant to Section
3.3.3, interest
on such renewed Borrowing Tranche shall be due and payable on the next Payment
Date, subject to any adjustments in interest rates, as if the Interest Period
had not expired and then been renewed. Interest on prepayments under Section
4.3 shall be
due on the date such prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of the
Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such
principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether
on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
4.3. Prepayments.
4.3.1. Voluntary
Prepayments.
Borrower shall have the right, at its
option, from time to time to prepay the Loan in whole or part at any time, but no prepayment
may be less than the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the
applicable Borrowing Tranche(s) being prepaid. Whenever Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loan,
Borrower shall provide a prepayment Notice to Lender by 2:00 Eastern Time at least two (2)
Business Days prior to the date of the proposed prepayment setting forth the
following information:
- 38 -
(x)
the estimated date on which the proposed
prepayment is to be made; and
(y)
a statement indicating the application of the prepayment to a
particular Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) or Fixed Rate Borrowing
Tranche(s).
All
prepayment Notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Borrowing
Tranche(s) for which a prepayment Notice is given, together with interest on
such principal amount, shall be due and payable by 2:00 Eastern Time on the date
specified in such prepayment Notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment
is to be made. Lender shall, upon receipt of Borrower's Notice, prepare and
deliver to Borrower the same day via facsimile or other electronic transmittal a
statement of interest due with respect to such prepayment, provided that in the
event Borrower's prepayment Notice is not received by Lender prior to 2:00
Eastern Time, Lender shall not be obligated to prepare and deliver such
statement of interest until the Business Day following Lender's receipt of such
Notice.
4.3.2. Prepayment Fee Not
Applicable (Mandatory Prepayment / Collateral
Addition).
4.3.2.1. If
at the time of the release of a portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section
2.10, Borrower
shall be in violation of any of the Sublimits set forth in Section
2.5.3, Borrower
may cure such violation prior to or simultaneously with such release by either
(i) pledging multi-family real property collateral in form, substance, value and
in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, in accordance with
Section
2.9 or (ii)
prepaying that portion of the Loan outstanding as is necessary to cause
compliance with such Sublimit without any Prepayment Fee or similar fee or
penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause
compliance with the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following
Lender's determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then,
for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread
applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter
renewed) shall automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over
the highest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such
Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at
all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2, as a result
of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest
rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). Lender shall deliver to Borrower as
soon as practicable, but in any event not less than two (2) Business Days prior
to such release, a statement of the principal and interest due with respect to
any required prepayment.
4.3.2.2. If
at the time of a Valuation pursuant to Section
2.12 or at
any other time, Borrower shall be in violation of any of the Sublimits set forth
in Section
2.5.3, Borrower
shall cure such violation, within the time periods set forth in (a) and (b)
below, by either (a) within ninety (90) days of Notice, pledging multi-family
collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender in
its sole discretion, in accordance with Section
2.9 or (b)
within fifteen (15) days of Notice from Lender of such decrease, prepaying so
much of the Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits
(together with the payment of any applicable Prepayment Fee or similar fee or
penalty). If at the time of a Material Adverse Change pursuant to Section
2.14, Borrower
shall cure such violation within the time periods set forth in (i), (ii) and
(iii) below, by either (i) within ninety (90) days of Notice, pledging
multi-family collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable
to Lender in its sole discretion, in accordance with Section
2.9, (ii) within
fifteen (15) days of Notice from Lender of such decrease, prepaying so much of
the Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, or (iii) provided that
Borrower is not in violation of a Sublimit, within ninety (90) days of Notice,
releasing one or more Collateral Pool Properties (together with the payment of
any applicable Prepayment Fee or similar fee or penalty). Lender shall deliver
to Borrower within two (2) Business Days following the notice of Valuation,
Material Adverse Change or other event, as the case may be, a statement of the
principal and interest due with respect to any required prepayment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with
the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination
of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower
fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base
Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall
automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such
Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further
increased, if at all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2, as a result
of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest
rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01).
- 39 -
4.3.2.3.
In the event of a casualty or condemnation affecting any of the Collateral Pool
Properties, any award and/or proceeds payable with respect to such casualty or
condemnation shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable Loan Documents, provided that
Borrower may elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section
2.13.
4.3.2.4. Any
mandatory prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section
4.3.2
shall be applied, as directed by Borrower, to a particular Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche or Base Rate Borrowing Tranches under the Revolving Credit Note until
the Revolving Credit Note has been repaid in full and thereafter, to the
outstanding principal balances of the Fixed Rate Note(s) pro rata or, in the
absence of any specific direction from Borrower, as selected by Lender in its
sole discretion.
4.4. Prepayment
Fee.
Unless Borrower for any reason (i)
repays a Borrowing Tranche permitted hereunder accruing interest at the Prime
Rate, (ii) has elected to prepay in advance all of the interest, applicable to
the particular Borrowing Tranche being prepaid, which would have otherwise
accrued over the applicable Interest Period, (iii) repays all or a part of a
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche upon the expiration of such Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche's Interest Period or (iv) repays a Fixed Rate Note within the applicable
Window Period, any prepayment under Section
4.3 shall be accompanied by a prepayment
fee (the "Prepayment
Fee"), unless otherwise
provided herein. The Prepayment Fee for (x) any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche,
shall be determined in
accordance with Schedule
4.4 and (y) any Fixed Rate Borrowing
Tranche, shall be determined in accordance with the
applicable Fixed Rate Note. The Prepayment Fee shall not constitute the payment of interest and
therefore shall not be included in the calculation of Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the
determination of Borrower's compliance with the Sublimits set forth in
Section
2.5.3.
In addition, upon Lender's
exercise of any right of acceleration under this Agreement, the Note, or any
other Loan Document following an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender
the Prepayment Fee on all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches and Fixed Rate Borrowing
Tranches outstanding at the time of acceleration in addition to all interest
accrued thereon, and all other sums and fees payable to Lender hereunder, in
lieu of determining the same based on the principal amounts being prepaid under
the Revolving Credit Note as specified in Schedule
4.4.
- 40 -
4.5. Additional Payment
Obligations.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Lender shall determine that the
Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than required pursuant to Section
2.5.3.2 or
that the Loan to Value Ratio exceeds the ratio permitted in accordance with
Section
2.5.3.1, and such
noncompliance shall continue uncured for fifteen (15) Business Days following
Lender's determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then,
for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread
applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter
renewed) shall automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over
the highest Net Spread shown on Schedule
3.2 (as such
Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections
2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2), further increased, if at
all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2, as a result
of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest
rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). In the event that the Facility Debt
Service Coverage Ratio shall continue to be less than required pursuant to Section
2.5.3.2 or
the Loan to Value Ratio shall exceed the ratio permitted in accordance with
Section
2.5.3.1 for
a period of ninety (90) consecutive days after receipt of Notice of the same,
the same shall constitute an Event of Default.
4.6. Additional Compensation in
Certain Circumstances.
4.6.1. Increased Costs Resulting
from Taxes, Etc.
If any
change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any
Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or
compliance with any written request or directive of any Official Body (other
than as a result of any misconduct by Lender) which is applicable to
Lender:
4.6.1.1. subjects
Lender to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this
Agreement, the Note, the Loan or payments by Borrower of any principal,
interest, fees, or other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or under the
Revolving Credit Note or any Fixed Rate Note (except for taxes on the overall
net or gross income of Lender or any franchise taxes);
4.6.1.2. imposes
upon Lender any condition or denies Lender any right, the result of which is to
increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense
(including breakage costs) upon Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Note
or the making, maintenance or funding of any Borrowing Tranche by an amount
which Lender in its discretion deems to be material;
- 41 -
then
Lender shall from time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good
faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by
Lender to be necessary to compensate Lender for such increase in cost. Such
Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.
Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender thirty (30) days
after such Notice is given.
4.6.2. Termination.
Upon the
occurrence of any event described in Section
4.6.1, Borrower
may elect to terminate this Agreement and the parties' obligations under the
Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.13, and
Borrower's obligations hereunder shall terminate upon Borrower's repayment in
full of the Loan and the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set
forth in Section
2.13.4
4.6.3. Indemnity.
In
addition to the compensation required by Section
4.6.1, Borrower
shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender and Servicer against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (excluding opportunity costs but including
breakage costs) which Lender and/or Servicer sustains or incurs as a consequence
of any:
4.6.3.1. attempt
by Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in
whole or part any Loan Request under Section
2.5 (except
as provided in Section
3.4.3), any
request to release a Collateral Pool Property under Section
2.10. or notice
relating to prepayments under Section
4.3,
or
4.6.3.2. default
by Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of
Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest,
Prepayment Fee, Unused Facility Fee, Minimum Usage Fee or any other amount due
hereunder.
If Lender
sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify
Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by Lender (which determination
may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or
attribution methods as Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to
indemnify Lender for such loss or expense. Such Notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such determination (which shall be conclusive
absent manifest error). Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to
Lender thirty (30) days after such Notice is given.
4.7. Non-Recourse.
The Loan
shall be non-recourse as and to the extent provided in the Loan
Documents.

and Borrower has the lawful power to own or lease the Collateral Pool Properties
and to engage in the business it presently conducts or proposes to conduct.
Borrower is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in all jurisdictions
where the property owned or leased by it or where the nature of the business
transacted by it or both makes such licensing or qualification necessary and
where the failure to be so qualified would result in a Material Adverse
Change.

Entity.
Borrower
is a Single Asset Entity, with a purpose limited to owning, maintaining and
operating only the Collateral Pool Properties.
6.1.3. Power and

Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and each
other Loan Document which Borrower is required to execute and deliver on or

obligations of Borrower on and after its date of delivery thereof, enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that

default under or result in any breach or violation of (i) the terms and
conditions, as applicable, of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws,
certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of
formation, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents
of Borrower or its Affiliates, (ii) any Law or any material agreement or
instrument or order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree to which Borrower or

its Affiliates is bound, or (iii) result in the creation or enforcement of any
Lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any property (now or hereafter acquired) of

Disclosure.
Neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any material certificate,
statement, agreement or other documents furnished to Lender in connection
herewith or therewith, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. There is no fact known to Borrower which materially adversely
affects the business, property, assets, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of Borrower, or any of its Affiliates which has not been

financial projections or other documents furnished in writing to Lender prior to

hereby.
6.1.10. Taxes.
All federal, state, local and other tax
returns required to have been filed with respect to Borrower and its Affiliates
have been filed, and payment or adequate provision has been made for the payment
of all taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental charges which have or may
become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received, except to the
extent that such taxes, fees, assessments and other charges are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and
for which such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be
required by GAAP shall have been made. There are no agreements or waivers
extending the statutory period of limitations applicable to any federal income
tax return of Borrower, or its Affiliates for any
period.

6.1.11. Consents and
Approvals.
Except
for the filing of financing statements and the relevant Collateral Pool Property
Documents in the appropriate state and county filing offices, there are no other
filings, consents or approvals necessary for the execution of this Agreement by
Borrower or its performance hereunder or under the Loan Documents, all of which
shall have been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing
Date.
6.1.12. No Event of Default;
Compliance with Instruments.
No event
has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists or will exist after
giving effect to the borrowings or other extensions of credit to be made on the
Closing Date or thereafter under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, which
constitutes an Event of Default or a Potential Default.
6.1.13. Security
Interests.
The Liens
and security interests granted to and for the benefit of Lender pursuant to the
Loan Documents constitute and will continue to constitute first priority
security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in each
applicable jurisdiction (the "Uniform Commercial
Code") or other Law, entitled to all the rights, benefits and priorities
provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or such Law, subject to the Permitted
Exceptions. Upon the filing of financing statements relating to said security
interests in each office in which filing is required under the Uniform
Commercial Code all such action as is necessary in Lender's sole opinion to
establish such rights of Lender will have been taken, and there will be, upon
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, such filings and such taking of
possession, no necessity for any further action in order to preserve, protect
and continue such rights, except the filing of continuation statements with
respect to such financing statements within six (6) months prior to the
expiration of such filing of such financing statements. All filing fees and
other expenses in connection with each such action have been or will be paid by
Borrower. All continuations and any assignments of any such financing statements
have been or will be timely filed or refiled, as appropriate, in the appropriate
recording offices. Without limiting the foregoing representations and
warranties, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements,
continuation statements and financing statement amendments, in such form as
Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of such security
interests and in all events without Borrower's signature.
6.1.14. Mortgage
Liens.
The Liens granted to and for the
benefit of Lender pursuant to the Collateral Pool Property Documents constitute
a valid first priority Lien under applicable Law, subject to any Permitted
Exceptions. All such action as will be necessary in Lender's sole opinion to
establish such Lien of Lender and its priority as described in the preceding
sentence will be taken at or prior to the time required for such
purpose, and there will be as of the date of execution and delivery of the Collateral Pool
Property Documents no necessity for any further action in order to protect, preserve and continue such
Lien and such priority (except for the timely filing in the required offices of
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement continuations). All filing fees and
other expenses in connection with each such action have been or will be paid by
Borrower.

has been made, and no grounds exist, to cancel or avoid any of such policies or
bonds or to reduce the coverage provided thereby. Such policies and bonds
provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in
amounts sufficient to insure the assets and risks of Borrower and its Affiliates
in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of Borrower and its
Affiliates. The representations made in this Section
6.1.15 with

could result in a Material Adverse Change.
6.1.16. Material Contracts;
Burdensome Restrictions.

material contracts relating to Borrower and those contracts relating to
Affiliates of the Borrower, of which a default thereunder could result in a
Material Adverse Change, taken as a whole, are valid, binding and enforceable

Affiliates, as applicable, and, to Borrower's knowledge, each of the other
parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms (except as disclosed
in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof). There is no default
under any such contracts by Borrower, or to Borrower's knowledge by any of the
other parties thereto, except for defaults which would not result in a Material
Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is bound by any
contractual obligation, or subject to any restriction in any organizational
document, or any requirement of Law, which is reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change.
6.1.17. Investment Companies;
Regulated Entities.
Borrower
is not an "investment company" registered or required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or under the "control" of an "investment company"
as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and shall not
become such an "investment company" or under such "control." Borrower is not
subject to any other federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability

to the provisions of ERISA.
6.1.18.1. Borrower and
each other member of the ERISA Group are in compliance in all material respects
with any applicable provisions of ERISA with respect to all Benefit
Arrangements, Pension Plans and Multiemployer Plans. There has been
no Prohibited Transaction
with respect to any Benefit Arrangement or any Pension Plan or, with respect to
any Multiemployer Plan, which could result in any material liability of Borrower
or any other member of the ERISA Group. Borrower and all members of the ERISA

respect to each Pension Plan and Multiemployer Plan, Borrower and each member of
the ERISA Group (i) have fulfilled in all material respects their obligations

occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan,
and no amendment with respect to which security is required under Section 307 of
ERISA has been made or is reasonably expected to be made to any Pension
Plan.
6.1.18.5. The
aggregate actuarial present value of all benefit liabilities (whether or not
vested) under each Pension Plan, determined on a plan termination basis, as
disclosed in, and as of the date of, the most recent actuarial report for such
Pension Plan, does not exceed the aggregate fair market value of the assets of
such Pension Plan.
6.1.18.6. Neither
Borrower nor any other member of the ERISA Group has incurred or reasonably
expects to incur any material withdrawal liability under ERISA to any
Multiemployer Plan. Borrower nor any other member of the ERISA Group has been
notified by any Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan has been
terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Multiemployer Plan is
reasonably expected to be reorganized or terminated, within the meaning of Title
IV of ERISA.
6.1.18.7. To
the extent that any Benefit Arrangement is insured, Borrower and all members of
the ERISA Group have paid when due all premiums required to be paid for all
periods through and including the Closing Date. To the extent that any Benefit
Arrangement is funded other than with insurance, Borrower and all other members

hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.
Borrower does not intend to, and Borrower does not believe that it will, incur
debts and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature

easement for same, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve each
Collateral Pool Property either (i) without passing over other property or, (ii)
if such utilities pass over other property, pursuant to valid easements. All
roads necessary for the full utilization of each Collateral Pool Property for
its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted
by all Official Bodies or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of
such Collateral Pool Property.

and (ii) with any portion of such Collateral Pool Property which may be deemed
to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any
taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or
levied or charged to such Collateral Pool Property as a single lien, which joint
assessment would result in a Material Adverse Change. Borrower shall not suffer,
permit or initiate the joint assessment of any Collateral Pool Property (i) with
any other real property constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with any
portion of such Collateral Pool Property which may be deemed to constitute
personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which
may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or

any manner which would result in a Material Adverse Change.

covenants or conditions affecting such Collateral Pool Property, including
without limitation, the applicable zoning and land use ordinances except as
otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender prior to the Closing Date. Each
Collateral Pool Property contains all equipment necessary to use and operate
such Collateral Pool Property in a manner similar to that as of Lender's final

Property.

any, under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan
Documents will not cause Borrower to be in default under the provisions of any
agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower
is bound. There is no litigation or other claim pending before any court or
administrative or governmental body or overtly threatened by a written

Agreement and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the

|
3.
|
Payments.
|
(a) Interest
will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Fixed
Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.
(b) Interest
under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an
actual/360 interest calculation schedule. Each monthly payment of principal and
interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of
the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.
(c) The

3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the
First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as
provided in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in
arrears.
(d) Beginning
on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the
monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, accrued interest only shall be
payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the
first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of
interest only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d) on an Installment Due Date
shall vary, and shall equal $ _____________ [insert the per diem amount,
expressed
to the fifth decimal place, derived by multiplying the original

(e) All
remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and
payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
Maturity Date of this Note may not be extended pursuant to Sections 2.2(b) or
2.2 (c) of the Credit Agreement. If Borrower exercises the First Extension
Option or the Second Extension Option pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)
Page
3
(f) All
payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available
U.S.
funds.
(g) Any
regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and
interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before
the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the
purpose of calculating interest due.
(h) Any
accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender's discretion,
may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and
any reference to "accrued interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has
not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal
pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or
rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand
by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of
principal and interest.
(i) In
accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the
Maximum Interest Rate. If the Fixed Interest Rate at any time exceeds the
Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be
limited to the Maximum interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Fixed
Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note
accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest
accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the
Fixed Interest Rate at all times been in effect.
4. Application of Payments. If at
any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to
the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time,
Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any
manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender's discretion. Borrower
agrees that neither Lender's acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount
that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender's application of
such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the
unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.
5. Security. The Indebtedness is
secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument and the Credit
Agreement, and reference is made to the Security Instrument and the Credit
Agreement for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the
Indebtedness.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any
accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under the Credit Agreement, if
any, and all other amounts payable under this Note, the Credit Agreement and any
other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of
Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by
applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to
accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.
For
purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment
premium, if any, as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If
prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium,
if any, as of the actual prepayment date.

7.
Late Charge.
(a) If
any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount
payable under this Note, the Credit Agreement, the Security Instrument or any
other Loan Document, other than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
payable on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note, is not received
in full by Lender within ten (10) days after the installment or other amount is
due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is
due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge
may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted),
Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other amount due
(unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such
lesser amount shall be substituted).
(b) Borrower
acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur
additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses.
Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents
a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing
on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason
of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.
8.
Default
Rate.
(a) So
long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for thirty
(30) days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the
contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance
from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or
the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default
Rate.
(b) From
and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear
interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire
principal balance is paid in full.
(c) Borrower
acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to
incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the
time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30)
days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its
loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender's ability
to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment
opportunities; and (iii) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine
those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the
time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30)
days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lender's risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender
is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the
increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate
represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances
existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender
will incur by reason of the Borrower's delinquent payment and the additional
compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment
associated with a delinquent loan.

Limits
on Personal Liability.
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 9, in the Revolving Credit Note or in any
guaranty, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the
Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document for the
repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of
Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender's only recourse for the
satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall
be Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral
Pool Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the
Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower's liability shall not limit or impair
Lender's enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of the indebtedness or
any guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower.
(b) Borrower
shall be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base Recourse, plus
any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section
9.
(c) In
addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for
the repayment of a further portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or
damage suffered by Lender as a result of the occurrence of any of the following
events:
|
(i)
|
Borrower
fails to pay to Lender upon demand after, but only during the continuance
of, an Event of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under
Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument and the amount of all security
deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence. However,
Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this
subsection (i) if Borrower is unable to pay to Lender all Rents and
security deposits as required by the Security Instrument because of a
valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial
proceeding.
|
|
(ii)
|
Borrower
fails to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as
required by the Security Instrument. However, Borrower will not be
personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (ii) if
Borrower is unable to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required
by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a
bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial
proceeding.

|
the
performance of all of Borrower's obligations under Section 18 of the
Security Instrument (relating to environmental
matters);
|
(ii)
|
the
costs of any audit under Section 14(g) of the Security Instrument;
and
|
(iii)
|
any
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of
any amount for which Borrower is personally liable under this Section 9,
including Attorneys' Fees and Costs and the costs of conducting any
independent audit of Borrower's books and records to determine the amount
for which Borrower has personal
liability.
|
(e) All
payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts

(f) Notwithstanding
the Base Recourse, Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the
repayment of all of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following
Events of Default:
Page

|
(i)
|
Borrower's
ownership of any property or operation of any business not permitted by
Section 33 of the Security
Instrument;
|
|
(ii)
|
a
Transfer (including, but not limited to, a lien or encumbrance) that is an
Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument, other than a
Transfer consisting solely of the involuntary removal or involuntary
withdrawal of a general partner in a limited partnership or a manager in a
limited liability company; or
|
|
(iii)
|
fraud
or written material misrepresentation by Borrower or any officer,
director, partner, member or employee of Borrower in connection with the
application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any
action or consent by Lender.
|
(g) Notwithstanding
the Base Recourse, Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the
repayment of all of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following
events:
|
(i)
|
any
Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United
States Bankruptcy Code; or
|
|
(ii)
|
any
Borrower voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership,
insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other
federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights;
or
|
|
(iii)
|
an
order of relief is entered against any Borrower pursuant to the United
States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and
creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or
joined in by a Related Party (provided, that if such Borrower or any
Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any
proceeding referred to in this Section 9, regardless of whether any of the
creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding,
then such proceeding shall be considered as having been initiated by a
Related Party).
|
(h) To
the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may
exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender
has exercised any rights against the Collateral Pool Property or any other
security, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the
Credit Agreement, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable
law. For purposes of this Section 9, the term "Collateral Pool Property" shall
not include any funds that (1) have been applied by Borrower as required or
permitted by the Security Instrument prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default or following the cure, if Lender consents to such cure, of an Event of
Default or (2) Borrower was unable to apply as required or permitted by the
Security Instrument because of a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar
proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to
enforce Borrower's
personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off
the value of the Collateral Pool Property against such personal
liability.

10. Voluntary and Involuntary
Prepayments.
(a) Any
receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date,
other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to
Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without
limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date,
of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion
of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this
Note.
(b) Borrower
may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an
Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment
in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of
such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls
on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under
this Section 10 only, the term "Installment Due Date" shall mean the Business
Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date.
(c) Notwithstanding
subsection (b) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid
principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due
Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in subsection (b) and
meets the other requirements set forth in this subsection. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day
other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment
received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been
received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and
Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the
prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately
following such prepayment.
(d) Unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily
prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to
voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must
also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all
accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to
Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium
calculated pursuant Section
10(e) below.
(e) Except
as provided in Section 10(f), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by
Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during
the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium shall be computed as
follows:
|
(i)
|
For
any prepayment made during the Yield Maintenance Period, the prepayment
premium shall be whichever is the greater of subsections (A) and (B)
below:
|
Page
9
|
(A)
|
1.0%
of the amount of principal being prepaid;
or
|
|
(B)
|
the
product obtained by multiplying:
|
|
(1)
|
the
amount of principal being prepaid or accelerated, by
|
|
(2)
|
the
excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the Assumed Reinvestment
Rate,
|
by
|
(3)
|
the
Present Value Factor.
|
For
purposes of subsection (B), the following definitions shall apply:
Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth
(1/12) of the Fixed Interest Rate, expressed as a decimal calculated to five
digits.
Prepayment Date: in the case
of a voluntary prepayment, the date on which the prepayment is made; in the case
of the application by Lender of collateral or security to a portion of the
principal balance, the date of such application.
Assumed Reinvestment Rate:
one-twelfth (1/12) of the yield rate, as of the close of the trading
session which is 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the Treasury
Security, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, expressed as a decimal
calculated to five digits. In the event that no yield is published on the
applicable date for the Treasury Security, Lender, in its discretion, shall
select the non-callable Treasury Security maturing in the same year as the
Treasury Security with the lowest yield published in The Wall Street Journal as of the applicable
date. If the publication of such yield rates in The Wall Street Journal is discontinued for any
reason, Lender shall select a security with a comparable rate and term to the
Treasury Security. The selection of an alternate security pursuant to this
Section shall be made in Lender's discretion.
Present Value Factor: the
factor that discounts to present value the costs resulting to Lender from the
difference in interest rates during the months remaining in the Yield
Maintenance Period, using the Assumed Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate,
with monthly compounding, expressed numerically as follows:
Page
10
1-(1/1+ARR)
ARR
n = the number of months
remaining in Yield Maintenance Period; provided, however, if a prepayment occurs
on an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield
Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month in which such
prepayment occurs and if such prepayment occurs on a Business Day other than an
Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield
Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month immediately
following the date of such prepayment.
ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate
|
(ii)
|
For
any prepayment made after the expiration of the Yield Maintenance Period
but during the remainder of the Prepayment Premium Period, the prepayment
premium shall be 1.0% of the amount of principal being
prepaid.
|
(f) No
prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made
during the Window Period, (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the
application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security
Instrument or (iii) as otherwise set forth in the Credit Agreement.
(g) Unless
Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less
than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the
due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such
installments.
(h) Borrower
recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this
Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by
Borrower, will result in Lender's incurring loss, including reinvestment loss,
additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's ability to meet its
commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand
damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages.
Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating
prepayment premiums set forth in Section
10(e) above
represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a
prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that the prepayment premium provisions
of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the
terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result
of the Borrower's voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium
provisions.
Page
11
11. Costs and Expenses. To the
fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and
costs, including Attorneys' Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any
default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due
under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan
Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in
any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic
stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure
proceeding.
12. Forbearance. Any forbearance
by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Credit
Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise
afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of
that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after
the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required
payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt payment when
due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any
failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for
Borrower's obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by
Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy
available to Lender.
13. Waivers. Borrower and all
endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice
of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment,
notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the
Indebtedness.
14. Loan Charges. Neither this
Note, the Credit Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be
construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money
requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate.
If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted
to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that
any interest or other charge provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges
provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, violates that
law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or
charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation.
The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted
amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of
this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting
the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower
has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all
other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest,
shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over each Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche and Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche comprising the Revolving Credit Note,
this Note and each other Fixed Rate Note, if any, over the stated term of such
Notes. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and
spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so
computed is uniform throughout the stated term of such Notes.
Page
12
15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower
represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of
carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family,
household, or agricultural purposes.
16. Counting of Days. Except where
otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of
"days" means calendar days, not Business Days.
17. Governing Law. This Note shall
be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
18. Captions. The captions of the
Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in
construing this Note.
19. Notices; Written
Modifications.
(a) All
Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given
pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with the Credit
Agreement.
(b) Any
modification or amendment to this Note shall be ineffective unless in writing
signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment;
provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the
Security Instrument that requires Lender's consent, any or some or all of the
Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be
modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender's option, by Notice to Borrower
and the transferee, as a condition of Lender's consent.
20. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.
Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this
Note may be litigated in the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The state
and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of
Virginia shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under
or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service,
jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any
other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual
residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any
right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to
matters arising under this Note in any court of any other
jurisdiction.
21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY
JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY
AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE
EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH
THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
22. [Intentionally
Omitted].
23. Joinder. In accordance with
the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement, certain Affiliates of Borrower
may become liable under this Note, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents by executing (a) a separate Allonge to this Note, (b) a joinder
agreement in form satisfactory to Lender, and (c) any other documents reasonably
required by Lender to evidence and/or secure such Affiliate's obligations
hereunder, the Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, all as set
forth in the Credit Agreement.
24. Credit Agreement. In the event
that the terms of this Note directly conflict with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.

SCHEDULE
4.4
BASE RATE BORROWING TRANCHE
PREPAYMENT FEE
1. Definitions - As used in this
Schedule 4.4, the words and terms set forth below shall have the meanings set
forth below. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 4.4 and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
|
(a)
|
Interest Period Balance:
shall mean the number of days remaining in the Interest Period for
the applicable Borrowing Tranche as of the Prepayment
Date.
|
|
(b)
|
Reference BillsSM Rate: shall mean that
portion of the Base Rate for the applicable Borrowing Tranche attributable
to the Reference BillsSM
Rate for the applicable Borrowing Tranche, expressed as a decimal
calculated to four (4) digits.
|
|
(c)
|
Prepayment Date: shall
mean (i) in the case of a prepayment under Section 4.3.1 of the Credit
Agreement, the date on which the prepayment is made or (ii) in any other
case in which a Prepayment Fee is payable pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the date on which Lender accelerates the unpaid
principal balance of the Revolving Credit
Note.
|
|
(d)
|
Reinvestment Rate: shall
mean, as of the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
Prepayment Date, the Reference BillsSM
Rate for the Reference BillsSM
which matures as close as possible, but not prior to, the maturity date of
the Interest Period for the applicable Borrowing Tranche, expressed as a
decimal calculated to four (4)
digits.
|
2. Determination
of the Prepayment Fee - The Prepayment Fee
payable under Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement applicable to any particular
Borrowing Tranche shall be equal to the greater of the amounts obtained by the
formulae set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) below.
|
(a)
|
the
amount obtained by:
|
(i)
|
dividing:
|
(A)
|
the
Interest Period Balance
|
by
(B)
|
three
hundred and sixty (360) days
|
(ii)
|
then
multiplying the figure obtained in (i) above by one percent (1%);
and
|
Sch. 4.4 -
1
|
(iii)
|
then
multiplying the figure obtained in (ii) above by the amount of principal
being prepaid; or
|
|
(b)
|
the
amount obtained by
|
|
(i)
|
multiplying
|
|
(A)
|
the
amount of principal being prepaid
|
by
|
(B)
|
the
excess (if a positive number) of the Reference BillsSM
Rate over the Reinvestment
Rate;
|
|
(ii)
|
then
dividing the figure obtained in (i) above by three hundred and sixty (360)
days; and
|
|
(iii)
|
then
multiplying the figure obtained in (ii) above by the Interest Period
Balance.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Reinvestment Rate is greater than or equal to the
Reference BillsSM Rate
the fee calculated under this subparagraph (b) shall equal zero.
If at any
time a prepayment occurs of a Borrowing Tranche bearing interest at the LIBO
Rate, for purposes of computing the fee payable under this subparagraph (b), all
references in this Schedule 4.4 to Reference BillsSM Rate
shall be deemed to refer to LIBO Rate, as the context requires.
Borrower
recognizes that prepayment of any amount due under the Revolving Credit Note,
whether voluntary or involuntary resulting from a default by Borrower, will
result in Lender's incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional
expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's ability to meet its
commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand
damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the- extent of such damages.
Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating
prepayment premiums set forth above represents a reasonable estimate of the
damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges
that the above prepayment premium provisions are a material part of the
consideration for the Loan, and acknowledges that the terms of the Revolving
Credit Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the
Borrower's voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium
provisions.
Set forth
below, for informational purposes only, is an example of the computation of the
Prepayment Fee, based on a hypothetical (i) principal amount being prepaid of
Five Million and NO/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (ii) Interest Period Balance of
fifteen (15) days, (iii) Reference Bills
Rate of 2.75% and (iv) Reinvestment Rate of 2.25%. Based on such hypothetical
amounts:
Sch. 4.4 -
2
(a)
|
the
computation set forth in Section 2(a) above is as
follows:
|
|
(i)
|
the
Interest Period Balance (15 days) divided by three hundred sixty (360)
days yields an amount equal to approximately
.041666;
|
|
(ii)
|
one
percent (1%) of the figure obtained in (i) above (approximately .041666)
is an amount equal to approximately
..0004166;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
product of the figure obtained in (ii) above (approximately .0004166)
times the amount of principal being prepaid ($5,000,000.00) is an amount
equal to approximately $2,083.33.
|
(b)
|
the
computation set forth in Section 2(b) above is as
follows:
|
|
(i)
|
the
product of the principal being prepaid ($5,000,000.00) times the excess of
the Reference Bills Rate (2.75%) over the Reinvestment Rate (2.25%) (such
excess .5%) is an amount equal to
$25,000.00;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
figure obtained in (i) above ($25,000.00) divided by 360 days is an amount
equal to approximately 69.4444;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
product of the figure obtained in (ii) above (approximately 69.4444) times
the Interest Period Balance (15 days) is an amount equal to approximately
$1,041.67.
|
As the
figure obtained under the calculation set forth in (a) ($2,083.33) exceeds the
figure obtained under the calculation set forth in (b) ($1,041.67), the
Prepayment Fee under this example would be equal to the figure obtained in (a)
or $2,083.33.
