MULTIFAMILY LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS MULTIFAMILY LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Loan Agreement”) is dated as of the 27th day of December, 2013 and is made by and between BERKSHIRE SQUARE LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, and BERKSHIRE II CUMBERLAND, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, jointly and severally, as co-borrowers (individually and collectively, “Borrower”), and GRANDBRIDGE REAL ESTATE CAPITAL LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).

RECITAL

Lender has agreed to make and Borrower has agreed to accept a loan in the original principal amount of $8,612,000.00 (“Loan”). Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these promises, the mutual covenants contained in this Loan Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I DEFINED TERMS; CONSTRUCTION.

1.01

Defined Terms. Each defined term in this Loan Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to that term in Article XII unless otherwise defined in this Loan Agreement.

1.02

Construction. The captions and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Loan Agreement are for convenience only and will be disregarded in construing this Loan Agreement. Any reference in this Loan Agreement to an “Exhibit,” an “Article” or a “Section” will, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an Exhibit attached to this Loan Agreement or to an Article or Section of this Loan Agreement. All Exhibits and Riders attached to or referred to in this Loan Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Loan Agreement. Any reference in this Loan Agreement to a statute or regulation will be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time. Use of the singular in this Loan Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. As used in this Loan Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to” and the term “includes” means “includes without limitation.” The use of one gender includes the other gender, as the context may require. Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document in this Loan Agreement will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth in this Loan Agreement), and (b) any reference in this Loan Agreement to any Person will be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 1

ARTICLE II LOAN.

2.01

Loan Terms. The Loan will be evidenced by the Note and will bear interest and be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Note.

2.02

Prepayment Premium. Borrower will be required to pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

2.03

Exculpation. Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness and for performance of the other obligations to be performed by it under this Loan Agreement is limited in the manner, and to the extent, provided in the Note.

2.04

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, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender (unless otherwise required by applicable law), in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable, nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized, will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

2.05

Usury Savings. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that 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 will be applied by Lender to reduce the principal amount of the Indebtedness. 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 which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness which constitute interest, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

2.06

Adjustable Rate Mortgage - Third Party Cap Agreement. If (a) the Note does not provide for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate, and (b) a third party Cap Agreement is not required, then this Section 2.06 and Section 3.04 will be of no force or effect.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 2

(a)

So long as there is no Event of Default, Lender or Loan Servicer will remit to Borrower each Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month for which Borrower has paid in full the monthly installment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable, due under the Note. Alternatively, at Lender’s option, so long as there is no Event of Default, Lender may apply a Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month to the applicable monthly payment of accrued interest due under the Note if Borrower has paid in full the remaining portion of such monthly payment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable.

(b)

Neither the existence of a Cap Agreement nor anything in this Loan Agreement will relieve Borrower of its primary obligation to timely pay in full all amounts due under the Note and otherwise due on account of the Indebtedness.

ARTICLE III LOAN SECURITY AND GUARANTY.

3.01

Security Instrument. Borrower will execute the Security Instrument dated of even date with this Loan Agreement. The Security Instrument will be recorded in the applicable land records in the Property Jurisdiction.

3.02

Reserve Funds.

(a)

Security Interest. To secure Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower conveys, pledges, transfers and grants to Lender a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the Property Jurisdiction or any other applicable law in and to all money in the Reserve Funds, as the same may increase or decrease from time to time, all interest and dividends thereon and all proceeds thereof.

(b)

Supplemental Loan. If this Loan Agreement is entered into in connection with a Supplemental Loan and if the same Person is or becomes both Senior Lender and Supplemental Lender, then:

(i)

Borrower assigns and grants to Supplemental Lender a security interest in the Reserve Funds established in connection with the Senior Indebtedness as additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under the Supplemental Note.

(ii)

In addition, Borrower assigns and grants to Senior Lender a security interest in the Reserve Funds established in connection with the Supplemental Indebtedness as additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Note.

(iii)

It is the intention of Borrower that all amounts deposited by Borrower in connection with either the Senior Loan Documents, the Supplemental Loan Documents, or both, constitute collateral for the Supplemental Indebtedness secured by the Supplemental Instrument and the Senior Indebtedness secured by the Senior Instrument, with the application of such amounts to such Senior Indebtedness or Supplemental Indebtedness to be at the discretion of Senior Lender and Supplemental Lender.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 3

3.03

Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Loan Agreement is also a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Mortgaged Property which, under applicable law, may be subjected to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, for the purpose of securing Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note, Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, whether such Mortgaged Property is owned now or acquired in the future, and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, “UCC Collateral”), and by this Loan Agreement, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the UCC Collateral.

3.04

Cap Collateral. Reserved.

3.05

Guaranty. Borrower will cause each Guarantor (if any) to execute a Guaranty of all or a portion of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents effective as of the date of this Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE IV RESERVE FUNDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

4.01

Reserves Generally.

(a)

Establishment of Reserve Funds; Investment of Deposits. Unless otherwise provided in Section 4.04, each Reserve Fund will be established on the date of this Loan Agreement and all Reserve Funds will be deposited in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution or invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies. Lender will not be obligated to open additional accounts or deposit Reserve Funds in additional institutions when the amount of any Reserve Fund exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will not have the right to direct Lender as to any specific investment of monies in any Reserve Fund. Lender will not be responsible for any losses resulting from investment of monies in any Reserve Fund or for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such investment.

(b)

Interest on Reserve Funds; Trust Funds. Unless applicable law requires, Lender will not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Reserve Funds. Any amounts deposited with Lender under this Article IV will not be trust funds, nor will they operate to reduce the Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement.

(c)

Use of Reserve Funds. Each Reserve Fund will, except as otherwise provided in this Loan Agreement, be used for the sole purpose of paying, or reimbursing Borrower for payment of, the item(s) for which the applicable Reserve Fund was established. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, except as specified in this Loan Agreement, monies in one Reserve Fund will not be used to pay, or reimburse Borrower for, matters for which another Reserve Fund has been established.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 4

(d)

Termination of Reserve Funds. Upon the payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender will pay to Borrower all funds remaining in any Reserve Funds.

4.02

Reserves for Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

(a)

Deposits to Imposition Reserve Deposits. Borrower will deposit with Lender on the day monthly installments of principal or interest, or both, are due under the Note (or on another day designated in writing by Lender), until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an additional amount sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required to pay, when due, the items marked “Collect” below. Except as provided in Section 4.02(e), Lender will not require Borrower to make Imposition Reserve Deposits with respect to the items marked “Deferred” below.


		[Collect]		Hazard Insurance premiums or premiums for other Insurance required by Lender under Section 6.10

		[Collect]		Taxes and payments in lieu of taxes

		[Deferred]		water and sewer charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property

		[N/A]		Ground Rents

		[Deferred]		assessments or other charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property

The amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) are collectively referred to in this Loan Agreement as the “Imposition Reserve Deposits.” The obligations of Borrower for which the Imposition Reserve Deposits are required are collectively referred to in this Loan Agreement as “Impositions.” The amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits must be sufficient to enable Lender to pay each Imposition before the last date upon which such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added. Lender will maintain records indicating how much of the monthly Imposition Reserve Deposits and how much of the aggregate Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender are held for the purpose of paying Taxes, Insurance premiums, Ground Rent (if applicable) and each other Imposition.

(b)

Disbursement of Imposition Reserve Deposits. Lender will apply the Imposition Reserve Deposits to pay Impositions so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender will pay all Impositions from the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender upon Lender’s receipt of a xxxx or invoice for an Imposition. If Borrower holds a ground lessee interest in the Mortgaged Property and Imposition Reserve Deposits are collected for Ground Rent, then Lender will pay the monthly or other periodic installments of Ground Rent from the


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 5

Imposition Reserve Deposits, whether or not Lender receives a xxxx or invoice for such installments. Lender will have no obligation to pay any Imposition to the extent it exceeds the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits then held by Lender. Lender may pay an Imposition according to any xxxx, statement or estimate from the appropriate public office, Ground Lessor (if applicable) or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition.

(c)

Excess or Deficiency of Imposition Reserve Deposits. If at any time the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition exceeds the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Lender, the excess will be credited against future installments of Imposition Reserve Deposits. If at any time the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition is less than the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be necessary, Borrower will pay to Lender the amount of the deficiency within 15 days after Notice from Lender.

(d)

Delivery of Invoices. Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and invoices for, Impositions.

(e)

Deferral of Collection of Any Imposition Reserve Deposits; Delivery of Receipts. If Lender does not collect an Imposition Reserve Deposit with respect to an Imposition either marked “Deferred” in Section 4.02(a) or pursuant to a separate written deferral by Lender, then on or before the date each such Imposition is due, or on the date this Loan Agreement requires each such Imposition to be paid, Borrower will provide Lender with proof of payment of each such Imposition. Upon Notice to Borrower, Lender may revoke its deferral and require Borrower to deposit with Lender any or all of the Imposition Reserve Deposits listed in Section 4.02(a), regardless of whether any such item is marked “Deferred” (i) if Borrower does not timely pay any of the Impositions, (ii) if Borrower fails to provide timely proof to Lender of such payment, or (iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default.

Title Exceptions. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry and investigation, none of the items shown in the schedule of exceptions to coverage in the title policy issued to and accepted by Lender contemporaneously with the execution of this Loan Agreement and insuring Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property will have a Material Adverse Effect on the (a) ability of Borrower to pay the Loan in full, (b) ability of Borrower to use all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in the manner in which the Mortgaged Property is being used on the Closing Date, except as set forth in Section 6.03, (c) operation of the Mortgaged Property, or (d) value of the Mortgaged Property.

(i)

Obligations Upon Casualty; Proof of Loss.

(i)

In the event of loss, Borrower will give immediate written notice to the Insurance carrier and to Lender.

(ii)

Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney in fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Hazard Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 30

such Hazard Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Hazard Insurance, to hold the proceeds of Hazard Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Lender may, at Lender’s option, take one of the following actions:

(A) Require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring and repairing the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (“Restoration”). If Lender determines to require a repair or replacement settlement and to apply Insurance proceeds to Restoration, Lender will apply the proceeds in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the Restoration of casualty damage on similar multifamily properties.

(B) Require an “actual cash value” settlement in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due.

(iii)

Subject to Section 6.10(j), Borrower may take the following actions:

(A) If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs will be less than the Borrower Proof of Loss Threshold, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the Insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

(B) If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs will be more than the Borrower Proof of Loss Threshold, but less than the Borrower Proof of Loss Maximum, Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender will hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and will not apply such proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness.

(j)

Right to Apply Insurance Proceeds to Indebtedness. Lender will have the right to apply Insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness if Lender determines, in Lender’s Discretion, that any of the following conditions are met:

(i)

An Event of Default (or any event, which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 31

(ii)

There will not be sufficient funds from Insurance proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration.

(iii)

The rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will not be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, deposits to Reserve Funds and Loan repayment obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property.

(iv)

The Restoration will not be completed by the earlier of (A) at least one year before the Maturity Date (or 6 months before the Maturity Date if re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such 6 month period) or (B) the expiration of the business interruption coverage.

(v)

The Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the loss or casualty.

(vi)

The casualty involved an actual or constructive loss of more than 30% of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, and rendered untenantable more than 30% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property.

(vii)

After completion of the Restoration the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is expected to be less than the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to such casualty (assuming the affected portion of the Mortgaged Property is relet within a reasonable period after the date of such casualty).

(viii)

Leases covering less than 35% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration.

(k)

Succession to Insurance Policies. If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any Insurance policies and unearned Insurance premiums and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Mortgaged Property prior to such sale or acquisition.

(l)

Payment of Installments After Application of Insurance Proceeds. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any Insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Article IV of this Loan Agreement or change the amount of such installments.

(m)

Assignment of Insurance Proceeds. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Insurance proceeds as Lender may require.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 32

6.11

Condemnation.

(a)

Rights Generally. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (“Condemnation”). Borrower will appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney in fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.11(a) will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

(b)

Application of Award. Lender may hold such awards or proceeds and apply such awards or proceeds, after the deduction of Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) at Lender’s option, to the Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment of the Indebtedness, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note or Article IV of this Loan Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Condemnation awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

(c)

Borrower’s Right to Condemnation Proceeds. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 6.11, but subject to Section 6.11(e), in the event of a partial Condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, as long as no Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a partial Condemnation resulting in proceeds or awards in the amount of less than $100,000, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the proceeds or awards are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

(d)

Right to Apply Condemnation Proceeds to Indebtedness. In the event of a partial Condemnation of the Mortgaged Property resulting in proceeds or awards in the amount of $100,000 or more and subject to Section 6.11(e), Lender will have the right to exercise its option to apply Condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness only if Lender, in Lender’s Discretion, determines that at least one of the following conditions is met:


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 33

(i)

An Event of Default (or any event, which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing.

(ii)

There will not be sufficient funds from Condemnation proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration.

(iii)

(iv)

The Restoration will not be completed at least one year before the Maturity Date (or 6 months before the Maturity Date if re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such 6 month period).

(v)

The Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the Condemnation.

(vi)

The Condemnation involved an actual or constructive loss of more than 15% of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, and rendered untenantable more than 25% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property.

(vii)

After Restoration the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is expected to be less than the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to the Condemnation (assuming the affected portion of the Mortgaged Property is relet within a reasonable period after the date of the Condemnation).

(viii)

Leases covering less than 35% of residential units of the Mortgaged Property will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration.

(e)

Right to Apply Condemnation Proceeds in Connection with a Partial Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Loan Agreement, including this Section 6.11, for so long as the Loan or any portion of the Loan is included in a Securitization, then each of the following will apply:

(i)

If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is released from the Lien of the Loan in connection with a Condemnation and if the ratio of (A) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to (B) the value of the Mortgaged Property (taking into account only the related land and buildings and not any personal property or going-concern value), as determined by Lender in its


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 34

sole and absolute discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted in connection with a Securitization, is greater than 125% immediately after such Condemnation and before any Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (but taking into account any planned Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property as if such planned Restoration or repair were completed), then Lender will apply any net proceeds or awards from such Condemnation, in full, to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, unless Lender has received an opinion of counsel that a different application of such net proceeds or awards will not cause such Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to any tax.

(ii)

If neither Borrower nor Lender has the right to receive any or all net proceeds or awards as a result of the provisions of any agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property (including any Ground Lease, condominium document, or reciprocal easement agreement) and, therefore cannot apply such net proceeds or awards to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness as set forth above, then Borrower will prepay the Indebtedness in an amount which Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary to ensure that the Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or be subject to any tax as a result of the Condemnation.

(f)

Succession to Condemnation Proceeds. If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any Condemnation proceeds and awards prior to such sale or acquisition.

6.12

Environmental Hazards.

(a)

Prohibited Activities and Conditions. Except for matters described in this Section 6.12, Borrower will not cause or permit Prohibited Activities or Conditions.

Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Borrower will (i) obtain and maintain all Environmental Permits required by Hazardous Materials Laws and comply with all conditions of such Environmental Permits, (ii) cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority, and (iii) comply with any governmental or judicial order that arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

(b)

Employees, Tenants and Contractors. Borrower will take all commercially reasonable actions (including the inclusion of appropriate provisions in any Leases executed after the date of this Loan Agreement) to prevent its employees, agents and contractors, and all tenants and other occupants from causing or permitting any Prohibited Activities or Conditions. Borrower will not lease or allow the sublease or use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to any tenant or subtenant for nonresidential use by any user that, in the ordinary course of its business, would cause or permit any Prohibited Activity or Condition.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 35

(c)

O&M Programs. As required by Lender, Borrower will also have established a written operations and maintenance program with respect to certain Hazardous Materials. Each such operations and maintenance program and any additional or revised operations and maintenance programs established for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 6.12 must be approved by Lender and will be referred to in this Loan Agreement as an “O&M Program.” Borrower will comply in a timely manner with, and cause all employees, agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other Persons present on the Mortgaged Property to comply with each O&M Program. Borrower will pay all costs of performance of Borrower’s obligations under any O&M Program, and Lender’s out of pocket costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of each O&M Program must be paid by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Any such out-of-pocket costs of Lender that Borrower fails to pay promptly will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02.

(d)

Notice to Lender. Borrower will promptly give Notice to Lender upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)

Borrower’s discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition.

(ii)

Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, Property Manager, Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property.

(iii)

Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 6.12.

(iv)

Any such Notice given by Borrower will not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver of, any obligation under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

(e)

Environmental Inspections, Tests and Audits. Borrower will pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“Environmental Inspections”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Article VII, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02. As long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 36

actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender will make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender reserves the right, and Borrower expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise ensure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender will have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender to any third party, and Borrower releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages or causes of action arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of the delivery of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

(f)

Remedial Work. If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, Restoration or other remedial work (“Remedial Work”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower will, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law, or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and must in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower will reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender will become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02.

6.13

However, if Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations as described in this Section 9.01(h) is of the nature that it cannot be cured within the 30 day cure period after such Notice from Lender but reasonably could be cured within 90 days, then Borrower will have additional time as determined by Lender in Lender’s Discretion, not to exceed an additional 60 days, in which to cure such default, provided that Borrower has diligently commenced to cure such default during the initial 30 day cure period and diligently pursues the cure of such default. However, no such Notice or cure periods will apply in the case of any such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Loan Agreement, result in harm to Lender, danger to tenants or third parties, or impairment of the Note, the Security Instrument or this Loan Agreement or any other security given under any other Loan Document.

In addition, if the Loan is a Supplemental Loan, as Borrower under both the Supplemental Instrument and the Senior Instrument, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if there is an Event of Default under the Supplemental Note, the Supplemental Instrument or any other Supplemental Loan Document, such Event of Default will be an Event of Default under the terms of the Senior Instrument and will entitle Senior Lender to invoke any and all remedies permitted to Senior Lender by applicable law, the Senior Note, the Senior Instrument or any of the other Senior Loan Documents.

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 58

9.03

Remedies.

(a)

Upon an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents and Borrower will pay all costs associated therewith, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

(b)

Each right and remedy provided in this Loan Agreement is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law or equity, and each will be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively, in any order. Lender’s exercise of any particular right or remedy will not in any way prevent Lender from exercising any other right or remedy available to Lender. Lender may exercise any such remedies from time to time and as often as Lender chooses.

(c)

Lender will have all remedies available to Lender under Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Property Jurisdiction, the Loan Documents and under applicable law.

(d)

Lender may also retain (i) all money in the Reserve Funds, including interest, and (ii) any Cap Payment, and in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, may apply such amounts, without restriction and without any specific order of priority, to the payment of any and all Indebtedness.

(e)

If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, then Lender will not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy will be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably will be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

9.04

Forbearance.

(a)

Lender may (but will not be obligated to) agree with Borrower, from time to time, and without giving Notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or having any effect upon the obligations of, any Guarantor or other third party obligor, to take any of the following actions:

Extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness.

Release any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

(ix)

Modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note.

(x)

Otherwise modify this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

(b)

Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, will not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness will not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 will not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

9.05

Waiver of Marshalling. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of the Security Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Loan Agreement.

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 63

consent of Borrower (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. However, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the interests of Borrower and Lender are in conflict, as determined by Lender in Lender’s Discretion, Lender will permit Borrower to undertake the actions referenced in this Article X so long as Lender approves such action, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligation of those Persons to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X will be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X will survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X after the date of the release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

This Section will apply only if at the time of any application referred to in Section 11.11(b), Xxxxxxx Mac has in effect a product described in its Multifamily Seller/Servicer Guide under which it purchases supplemental mortgages on multifamily properties that meet specified criteria (“Supplemental Mortgage Product”). For purposes of this Section 11.11 only, the term “Xxxxxxx Mac” will include any affiliate or subsidiary of Xxxxxxx Mac.

(b)

After the first anniversary of the date of the Senior Indebtedness, Xxxxxxx Mac will consider an application from an originating lender that is generally approved by Xxxxxxx Mac to sell mortgages to Xxxxxxx Mac under the Supplemental Mortgage Product (“Approved Seller/Servicer”) for the purchase by Xxxxxxx Mac of a proposed indebtedness of Borrower to the Approved Seller/Servicer to


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 68

be secured by one or more Supplemental Instruments on the Mortgaged Property. Xxxxxxx Mac will purchase each Supplemental Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

No Supplemental Loan may cause the combined debt service coverage ratio of the Mortgaged Property after the making of that Supplemental Loan to be less than the Required DSCR.

(A) the annual net operating income from the operations of the Mortgaged Property at the time of the proposed Supplemental Loan,

If the loan has an internal interest rate cap, the Capped Interest Rate.

(Y)

If the loan has an external interest rate cap, the external interest rate cap.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page 69

(Z)

If the loan has no interest rate cap, the greater of (I) 7%, or (II) the then-current LIBOR Index Rate plus the Margin plus 300 basis points.

Xxxxxxx Mac will determine the combined debt service coverage ratio of the Mortgaged Property based on its underwriting. Borrower will provide Xxxxxxx Mac such financial statements and other information Xxxxxxx Mac may require to make these determinations.

(A) the aggregate outstanding principal balances of all of the following:

(I) the Indebtedness under this Loan Agreement,

(II) any “Indebtedness” as defined in any security instruments recorded against the Mortgaged Property, and

(III) the proposed “Indebtedness” for any Supplemental Loan,

(B) the value of the Mortgaged Property.

Xxxxxxx Mac will determine the combined loan to value ratio of the Mortgaged Property based on its underwriting. Borrower will provide Xxxxxxx Mac such financial statements and other information Xxxxxxx Mac may require to make these determinations. In addition, Xxxxxxx Mac, at Borrower’s expense, may obtain MAI appraisals of the Mortgaged Property in order to assist Xxxxxxx Mac in making the determinations under this Section. If Xxxxxxx Mac requires an appraisal, then the value of the Mortgaged Property that will be used to determine whether the Required LTV has been met will be the lesser of the appraised value set forth in such appraisal or the value of the Mortgaged Property as determined by Xxxxxxx Mac.

(B)

There is no condition, event or act that would constitute a default (with or without Notice and/or lapse of time).

Any funds advanced will be added to the Indebtedness, secured by the Security Instrument and payable to Lender by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Note, this Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and any other Loan Document pertaining to the protection of Lender’s security and advances made by Lender.

If Lender, for purposes specified in this Section 4.03, elects to pay any portion of the money in the Repair Reserve Fund to parties other than Borrower, then Lender may do so, at any time and from time to time, and the amount of advances to which Borrower will be entitled under this Loan Agreement will be correspondingly reduced.

(vi)

Repair Schedule of Work. All disbursements from the Repair Reserve Fund will be limited to the costs of those items set forth on the Repair Schedule of Work. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower will not make any payments from the Repair Reserve Fund other than for the costs of those items set forth on the Repair Schedule of Work or alter the Repair Schedule of Work.

(e)

Termination of Repair Reserve Fund. If a Repair Reserve Fund has been established, the provisions of this Section 4.03 will cease to be effective upon the completion of the Repairs in accordance with this Loan Agreement to Lender’s satisfaction, and the full disbursement by Lender of the Repair Reserve Fund. If there are funds remaining in the Repair Reserve Fund after the Repairs have been completed in accordance with this Loan Agreement, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and no condition exists which but for the passage of time or giving of Notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, such funds remaining in the Repair Reserve Fund will be refunded by Lender to Borrower. If a Repair Reserve Fund has not been established, the provisions of this Section 4.03 will cease to be effective upon the completion of the Repairs in accordance with this Loan Agreement to Lender’s satisfaction.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page I-5

(f)

Right to Complete Repairs. If Borrower abandons or fails to proceed diligently with the Repairs or otherwise, or there exists an Event of Default under this Loan Agreement, Lender will have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Mortgaged Property and take over and cause the completion of the Repairs. Any contracts entered into or indebtedness incurred upon the exercise of such right may be in the name of Borrower, and Lender is irrevocably appointed the attorney in fact of Borrower, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to enter into such contracts, incur such obligations, enforce any contracts or agreements made by or on behalf of Borrower (including the prosecution and defense of all actions and proceedings in connection with the Repairs and the payment, settlement, or compromise of all claims for materials and work performed in connection with the Repairs) and do any and all things necessary or proper to complete the Repairs including signing Borrower’s name to any contracts and documents as may be deemed necessary by Lender. In no event will Lender be required to expend its own funds to complete the Repairs, but Lender may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, advance such funds. Any funds advanced will be added to the Indebtedness, secured by the Security Instrument and payable to Lender by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents pertaining to the protection of Lender’s security and advances made by Lender. Borrower waives any and all claims it may have against Lender for materials used, work performed or resultant damage to the Mortgaged Property.

(g)

Completion of Repairs. Lender’s disbursement of monies in the Repair Reserve Fund, if applicable, or other acknowledgment of completion of any Repair in a manner satisfactory to Lender will not be deemed a certification by Lender that the Repair has been completed in accordance with applicable building, zoning or other codes, ordinances, statutes, laws, regulations or requirements of any Governmental Authority. Borrower will at all times have the sole responsibility for insuring that all Repairs are completed in accordance with all such governmental requirements.

(h)

Radon Testing.

(i)

Borrower must deliver the results of Radon Testing to Lender for its review by the Radon Testing Completion Date.

(ii)

If Lender determines that the Radon Testing does not indicate the necessity for Radon Remediation, Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.03(h) will terminate. Such termination will not modify or diminish any other obligations of Borrower for any other Repairs under this Section 4.03.

(iii)

If Lender determines that the Radon Testing indicates the necessity for Radon Remediation, Lender will provide Borrower with a Radon Remediation Notice.


Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (CME)		Page I-6

(iv)

No later than 30 days after the date of the Radon Remediation Notice, Borrower must provide Lender with a signed, binding fixed price radon remediation contract with a qualified service provider.

(v)

Borrower must pay the Radon Remediation Deposit to Lender. Lender will place the Radon Remediation Deposit in the Repair Reserve Fund to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.03.

(vi)

Borrower must complete the Radon Remediation by the Radon Remediation Completion Date.

(vii)

If Radon Remediation is required, the Repair Schedule of Work contained in Exhibit C will be deemed automatically amended to add the required Radon Remediation and the Radon Remediation Completion Date and such Radon Remediation and Radon Remediation Completion Date will be considered Repairs as if originally part of the Repair Schedule of Work attached as an exhibit to this Loan Agreement. However, at Lender’s option, in Lender’s Discretion, Borrower will enter into a formal amendment to the Repair Schedule of Work to more fully set forth the Radon Remediation and the Radon Remediation Completion Date.

(viii)

When the Radon Remediation is completed, Borrower must provide a written certification from a qualified environmental consultant, as determined by Lender, that the Radon Remediation has been satisfactorily completed, that a minimum of 48 hours of testing has been conducted and that the Mortgaged Property now meets the environmental eligibility standard of radon concentrations at or below 4 pCi/L.

(ix)

When the Radon Remediation is completed, Borrower will be required to enter into an O & M Program that provides that Borrower will cause radon levels on the Mortgaged Property to be tested as recommended by the environmental consultant or as required by Lender, and will provide Lender with the results of such testing.

(x)

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that radon gas in concentrations above those recommended by any Governmental Authority constitutes a Prohibited Activity or Condition, and that the Radon Remediation constitutes required Remedial Work under Section 6.12.
