MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT is made as of the 2nd day of May,
2003 by and among (i) BRE-FMCF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(together with any Additional Borrowers, individually and collectively,
"Borrower"), and (ii) PRUDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGE, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Lender").
RECITALS
A. Borrower owns one or more Multifamily Residential Properties
(unless otherwise defined or the context clearly indicates otherwise,
capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix I
of this Agreement) as more particularly described in Exhibit A to this
Agreement.
B. Borrower has requested that Lender establish a $100,000,000 Credit
Facility in favor of Borrower, comprised initially of a $100,000,000 Variable
Facility, all or part of which can be converted to a Fixed Facility in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
C. To secure the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents issued in connection with the Credit Facility, Borrower
shall create a Collateral Pool in favor of Lender. The Collateral Pool shall be
comprised of (i) the Multifamily Residential Properties listed on Exhibit A and
(ii) any other collateral pledged to Lender from time to time by Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
D. Each Note and Security Document related to the Mortgaged
Properties comprising the Collateral Pool shall be cross-defaulted (i.e., a
default under any Note, Security Document relating to the Collateral Pool and
under this Agreement, shall constitute a default under each Note, Security
Document and this Agreement related to the Mortgaged Properties comprising the
Collateral Pool) and cross-collateralized (i.e., each Security Instrument
related to the Mortgaged Properties within the Collateral Pool shall secure all
of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and
it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that Lender may accelerate any
Note without needing to accelerate any other Note and that in the exercise of
its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, except as provided
in this Agreement, exercise and perfect any and all of its rights in and under
the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged Property without needing to
exercise and perfect its rights and remedies with respect to any other Mortgaged
Property and that any such exercise shall be without regard to the Allocable
Facility Amount assigned to such Mortgaged Property and that Lender may recover
an amount equal to the full amount outstanding in respect of any of the Notes in
connection with such exercise and any such amount shall be applied as determined
by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.
E. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this
Agreement, Lender has agreed to establish the Credit Facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender, in consideration of the mutual
promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE COMMITMENT
SECTION 1.01. The Commitment.
Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement:
(a) Variable Facility Commitment. Lender agrees to make
Variable Advances to Borrower from time to time during the Variable Facility
Availability Period. The aggregate principal balance of the Variable Advances
Outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Variable Facility Commitment.
Borrower may re-borrow any part of the Variable Advances which it has previously
borrowed and repaid. Except as provided in Section 2.04(c) of this Agreement, no
Variable Advances shall be made as a result of increases in the Valuation of any
Mortgaged Property. Any portion of the Variable Facility Commitment not
available to be advanced due to the inability of Borrower to satisfy the
requirements for the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and the Aggregate Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for a period of two (2) years shall be deemed terminated
and the partial termination provisions (including payment of the Facility
Termination Fee) set forth in Article 5 and Article 6 shall apply to such
partial termination.
(b) Fixed Facility Commitment. Lender agrees to make Fixed
Advances to Borrower from time to time during the Fixed Facility Availability
Period. The aggregate original principal of the Fixed Advances shall not exceed
the Fixed Facility Commitment. The borrowing of a Fixed Advance shall
permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by the original principal
amount of such Fixed Advance. Borrower may not re-borrow any part of the Fixed
Advance which it has previously borrowed and repaid. Except as provided in
Section 2.04(c) of this Agreement, no Fixed Advances shall be made as a result
of increases in the Valuation of any Mortgaged Property. Any portion of the
Fixed Facility Commitment not available to be advanced due to the inability of
Borrower to satisfy the requirements for the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and
the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for a period of two (2) years shall be
deemed terminated and the partial termination provisions (including payment of
the Facility Termination Fee) set forth in Article 5 and Article 6 shall apply
to such partial termination.
SECTION 1.02. Requests for Advances.
Borrower shall request an Advance by giving Lender an Advance Request in
accordance with Section 2.04. The Advance Request shall indicate whether the
Request is for a Fixed Advance, a Variable Advance or both.
SECTION 1.03. Maturity Date of Advances.
2
(a) Variable Advances. The MBS Issue Date shall be the first
day of a month and the maturity date of the MBS funding each Variable Advance
shall be specified by Borrower in its Advance Request, which date shall be:
(i) no earlier than the date which completes one full
month after the MBS Issue Date; and
(ii) no later than the date which completes nine full
months after the MBS Issue Date.
For these purposes, a year shall be deemed to consist of 12 30-day
months. For example, the date which completes three full months after September
1 shall be December 1; and the date which completes three full months after
January 1 shall be April 1.
(b) Fixed Advances; Amortization Period. The maturity date of
each Fixed Advance shall be the 10th anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.
The principal of each Fixed Advance shall be amortized on a 30-year schedule.
(c) Prepayment. Fixed Advances are not prepayable at any time,
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower (i) may prepay not less
than all of any Fixed Advance during the last ninety (90) days of the term of
such Fixed Advance, and (ii) may, if defeasance is elected pursuant to Section
1.11, defease not less than all of any Fixed Advance pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 1.11, or, if yield maintenance is selected pursuant to
Section 1.11, may prepay not less than all of any Fixed Advance pursuant to the
yield maintenance provisions of the Fixed Facility Note.
SECTION 1.04. Interest on Advances.
(a) Partial Month Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section, if an Advance is not made on the first day of a
calendar month, and the MBS Issue Date is the first day of the month following
the month in which the Advance is made, Borrower shall pay interest on the
original stated principal amount of the Advance for the partial month period
commencing on the Closing Date for the Advance and ending on the last day of the
calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, (i) for a Variable Advance at a
rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) the Coupon Rate as determined in
accordance with Section 1.05(a) and (2) a rate determined by Lender, based on
Lender's cost of funds and approved in advance, in writing, by Borrower,
pursuant to the procedures mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Lender, and (ii)
for a Fixed Advance at a rate, per annum equal to the greater of (1) the
interest rate described in subsection (c)(i) of this Section and (2) a rate
determined by Lender, based on Lender's cost of funds, and approved in advance,
in writing, by Borrower, pursuant to procedures mutually agreed upon by Borrower
and Lender.
(b) Variable Advances.
(i) Discount. Each Variable Advance shall be a discount
loan. The original stated principal amount of a Variable Advance shall be the
sum of the Price and the Discount. The Price and Discount of each Variable
Advance shall be determined in accordance
3
with the procedures set out in Section 2.01. The proceeds of any Variable
Advance made available by Lender to Borrower will equal the Price. Borrower
shall pay to Lender, in advance of each Rollover Variable Advance, the entire
Discount for such Rollover Variable Advance. The Discount for the initial
advance of each Variable Advance which is not a Rollover Variable Advance is
reflected in the original stated principal amount of such Variable Advance and
shall be paid by Borrower upon repayment of such Variable Advance.
(ii) Variable Facility Fee. In addition to paying the
Discount and the partial month interest, if any, Borrower shall pay monthly
installments of the Variable Facility Fee to Lender for each Variable Advance
from the applicable MBS Issue Date to its maturity date. The Variable Facility
Fee shall be payable in advance, in accordance with the terms of the Variable
Facility Note. The first installment shall be payable on or prior to the Closing
Date for the Variable Advance and shall apply to the first full calendar month
of such MBS. Subsequent installments shall be payable on the first day of each
calendar month, commencing on the first day of the second full calendar month of
such MBS, to its maturity date. Each installment of the Variable Facility Fee
shall be in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Variable Facility Fee, (2)
the original stated principal amount of the Variable Advance, and (3) 1/12.
(c) Fixed Advances.
(i) Annual Interest Rate. Each Fixed Advance shall bear
interest at a rate, per annum, equal to the sum of (1) the MBS Pass-Through Rate
for such Fixed Advance and (2) the Fixed Facility Fee.
(ii) Fixed Facility Fee. In addition to paying the
partial month interest, if any, Borrower shall pay monthly installments of the
MBS Pass-Through Rate and the Fixed Facility Fee to Lender for each Fixed
Advance from the applicable MBS Issue Date to its maturity date. The MBS
Pass-Through Rate and the Fixed Facility Fee shall be payable in arrears, in
accordance with the terms of the Fixed Facility Note. The first installment
shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the
first day of the second full calendar month of such MBS, to its maturity date.
Each installment of the Fixed Facility Fee shall be in an amount equal to the
product of (1) the Fixed Facility Fee, (2) the amount of the Fixed Advance, and
(3) 1/12.
SECTION 1.05. Coupon Rates for Advances.
(a) Variable Advances. The Coupon Rate shall equal the sum of
(1) an interest rate as determined by Lender (rounded to three places) payable
for the MBS pursuant to the MBS Commitment ("MBS Imputed Interest Rate") and (2)
the Variable Facility Fee.
(b) Fixed Advances. The Coupon Rate shall be the rate of
interest applicable to such Fixed Advance pursuant to Section 1.04(c)(i).
SECTION 1.06. Notes.
(a) Variable Advances. The obligation of Borrower to repay the
Variable Advances shall be evidenced by the Variable Facility Note. The Variable
Facility Note shall be
4
payable to the order of Lender and shall be made in the amount of the Variable
Facility Commitment.
(b) Fixed Advances. The obligation of Borrower to repay the
Fixed Advances shall be evidenced by the Fixed Facility Notes. The Fixed
Facility Notes shall be payable to the order of Lender and shall be made in the
original principal amount of each Fixed Advance.
SECTION 1.07. Extension of Variable Facility Termination Date.
Borrower shall have the right to extend the Variable Facility Termination
Date for one (1) five (5) year period ("Extension") upon satisfaction of each of
the following conditions:
(a) Borrower provides written notice requesting the Extension
("Extension Notice") to Lender not less than thirty (30) nor more than ninety
(90) days prior to the then effective Variable Facility Termination Date.
(b) No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists on
either the date the Extension Notice is given or on the then effective Variable
Facility Termination Date.
(c) All of the representations and warranties of Borrower
contained in Exhibit T to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other
than those which speak only as to an earlier date) are true and correct in all
material respects on the date the Extension Notice is given and on the then
effective Variable Facility Termination Date.
(d) Borrower is in compliance with all of the covenants
contained in Articles 8 and 9 on the date the Extension Notice is given and on
the then effective Variable Facility Termination Date.
Upon receipt of the Extension Notice and upon compliance with conditions
set forth above, the Variable Facility Termination Date shall be extended for
one (1) five (5) year period on the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the Fees applicable to the
Variable Facility during the Extension shall be as determined by Lender prior to
the Extension, provided that if Borrower does not wish to accept the Fees
determined by Lender for the Extension, Borrower may, prior to the then
effective Variable Facility Termination Date, withdraw (which withdrawal shall
be by written notice to Lender) the Extension Notice and repay all Variable
Amounts Outstanding and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents not
later than the Variable Facility Termination Date.
SECTION 1.08. Conversion from Variable Facility Commitment to Fixed
Facility Commitment.
Except as provided in Section 1.09, in connection with a Fixed Advance
only, Borrower shall have the right, from time to time during the Fixed Facility
Availability Period, to convert all or any portion of the Variable Facility
Commitment to the Fixed Facility Commitment. The Variable Facility Commitment
shall be reduced by, and the Fixed Facility Commitment shall be increased by,
the amount of each conversion.
5
(a) Request. To convert all or a portion of the Variable
Facility Commitment to the Fixed Facility Commitment, Borrower shall deliver a
Conversion Request to Lender. Each Conversion Request shall designate (1) the
amount of the conversion and (2) any Variable Advances Outstanding which will be
prepaid on or before the Closing Date for the conversion as required by Section
1.09(c).
(b) Closing. Subject to Section 1.09 and provided that all
conditions contained in Section 1.10 are satisfied, Lender shall permit the
requested conversion to close at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date
selected by Lender, and occurring within 30 Business Days after Lender's receipt
of the Conversion Request (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may
agree). At the closing, Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver, at the
sole cost and expense of Borrower, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
the Conversion Documents.
SECTION 1.09. Limitations on Right to Convert.
Borrower's right to convert all or any portion of the Variable Facility
Commitment to the Fixed Facility Commitment is subject to the following
limitations:
(a) Closing Date. The Closing Date shall occur during the Fixed
Facility Availability Period.
(b) Minimum Request. Each Conversion Request shall be in the
minimum amount of $10,000,000.
(c) Obligation to Prepay Variable Advances. Borrower shall
prepay any difference by which, after the conversion, the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all Variable Advances Outstanding will exceed the Variable
Facility Commitment.
SECTION 1.10. Conditions to Conversion.
The conversion of all or any portion of the Variable Facility Commitment
to the Fixed Facility Commitment is subject to the satisfaction, on or before
the Closing Date, of (a) the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.08 and
(b) all applicable General Conditions contained in Section 6.01.
SECTION 1.11. Defeasance; Yield Maintenance.
At such time as Borrower requests the first Fixed Advance, or, if prior
in time, elects to convert all or a portion of the Variable Facility Commitment
to a Fixed Facility Commitment, Borrower shall select defeasance or yield
maintenance with respect to all prepayments of Fixed Advances. Borrower shall
notify Lender of such selection on the Advance Request for the first Fixed
Advance or on the first Conversion Request, as applicable. The terms and
conditions of defeasance and yield maintenance are contained in the Fixed
Facility Note. If the Borrower elects defeasance and any Fixed Facility Note is
defeased pursuant to the terms thereof, such defeasance shall satisfy Borrower's
obligations with respect to such Fixed Facility Note. The selection of Borrower
as to defeasance or yield maintenance made at the time of the first
6
Advance Request for a Fixed Advance or the first Conversion Request shall apply
to the prepayment of all Fixed Advances during the term of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
THE ADVANCES
SECTION 2.01. Rate Setting for an Advance.
Rates for an Advance shall be set in accordance with the following
procedures:
(a) Preliminary, Nonbinding Quote. At Borrower's request Lender
shall quote an estimate of the MBS Pass-Through Rate (for a proposed Fixed
Advance) or MBS Imputed Interest Rate (for a proposed Variable Advance).
Lender's quote shall be based on (1) a solicitation of bids from institutional
investors selected by Lender and (2) the proposed terms and amount of the
Advance selected by Borrower. The quote shall not be binding upon Lender.
(b) Rate Setting. If Borrower satisfies all of the conditions
to Lender's obligation to make the Advance to be satisfied prior to the setting
of the MBS Pass-Through Rate, then Borrower may submit to Lender, by facsimile
transmission before 1:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on any Business Day ("Rate
Setting Date"), a completed and executed Rate Form. The Rate Form shall specify
the amount, term, MBS Issue Date, Facility Fee, any breakage fee deposit amount,
the proposed maximum Coupon Rate ("Maximum Annual Coupon Rate") and Closing Date
for the Advance.
(c) Rate Confirmation. Within one Business Day after receipt of
the Rate Form, Lender shall solicit bids from institutional investors selected
by Lender based on the information in the Rate Form and, provided the actual
Coupon Rate would be at or below the Maximum Annual Coupon Rate, shall obtain a
commitment ("MBS Commitment") for the purchase of an MBS having the bid terms
described in the related Rate Form. Lender shall then complete and countersign
the Rate Form thereby confirming the amount, term, MBS Issue Date, MBS Delivery
Date, MBS Imputed Interest Rate or MBS Pass-Through Rate, Facility Fee, Coupon
Rate, Discount, Price, and Closing Date for the Advance and shall immediately
deliver by facsimile transmission the Rate Form to Borrower.
SECTION 2.02. Advance Confirmation Instrument for Variable
Advances.
On or before the Closing Date for a Variable Advance, Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender a fully executed Advance Confirmation Instrument,
confirming the amount, term, MBS Issue Date, MBS Delivery Date, MBS Imputed
Interest Rate, Variable Facility Fee, Coupon Rate, Discount, Price and Closing
Date for the Advance, and Borrower's obligation to repay the Variable Advance in
accordance with the terms of the Variable Facility Note and this Agreement. Upon
the funding of the Variable Advance, Lender shall insert the date of funding on
the Advance Confirmation Instrument and deliver a copy of the completed Advance
Confirmation Instrument to Borrower to evidence the date of funding and to
confirm that the Advance Confirmation Instrument is not effective until the date
of funding. Lender's failure to do so shall not invalidate the Advance
Confirmation Instrument or otherwise affect in any way
7
any obligation of Borrower to repay Variable Advances in accordance with the
Advance Confirmation Instrument, the Variable Facility Note or the other Loan
Documents.
SECTION 2.03. Breakage and other Costs.
If Lender obtains, and then fails to fulfill, the MBS Commitment
because the Advance is not made (for a reason other than Lender's default),
Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs payable to the potential
investor and other reasonable costs, fees and damages incurred by Lender in
connection with its failure to fulfill the MBS Commitment. Lender reserves the
right to require Borrower to post a deposit at the time the MBS Commitment is
obtained, provided that no such deposit shall be required in connection with a
Rollover Variable Advance. Such deposit shall be refundable to Borrower upon the
delivery of the related MBS.
SECTION 2.04. Advances.
Borrower may deliver an Advance Request to Lender.
(a) If the Advance Request is to obtain the Initial Advance and
all conditions precedent contained in Section 6.02 and the General Conditions
contained in Section 6.01 are satisfied on or before the Closing Date for the
Initial Advance, Lender shall make the Initial Advance on the Initial Closing
Date or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree.
(b) If the Advance Request is to obtain a Future Advance, such
Advance Request shall be in the minimum amount of $3,000,000. If all conditions
precedent contained in Section 6.03 and the General Conditions contained in
Section 6.01 are satisfied, Lender shall make the requested Future Advance, at a
closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date selected by
Lender, which date shall be not more than three (3) Business Days after
Borrower's receipt from Lender of the confirmed Rate Form (or on such other date
as Borrower and Lender may agree).
(c) At any time prior to the date two (2) years before the
Variable Facility Termination Date, Borrower shall be entitled to Advances based
on decreases in the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and increases in the Aggregate
Debt Service Coverage Ratio as determined by Lender. The amount of such
additional Advance shall be equal to the amount which, when combined with
Advances already outstanding, equals the maximum amount of Advances that could
be outstanding and the Coverage and LTV Tests satisfied. No such Additional
Advance shall be permitted if the Recourse Termination Date has occurred or if
there are Outstanding Advances in the full amount of the Variable Facility
Commitment and the Fixed Facility Commitment.
SECTION 2.05. Determination of Allocable Facility Amount and
Valuations.
(a) Initial Determinations. On the Initial Closing Date, Lender
shall determine (i) the Allocable Facility Amount and Valuation for each
Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the
Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and (iii) the maximum Initial Advance Amount
available to Borrower. The aggregate of the Allocable Facility Amounts shall, at
all times, equal the aggregate of Advances Outstanding. The
8
determinations made as of the Initial Closing Date shall remain unchanged until
the First Anniversary, provided that Allocable Facility Amounts shall be
adjusted prior to the First Anniversary to reflect increases or decreases in
Advances Outstanding (which adjustments shall only be made to reflect changes in
Advances Outstanding and not changes in Valuations). Changes in Allocable
Facility Amount, Valuations, the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the
Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio shall be made pursuant to Section 2.05(b).
(b) Monitoring Determinations. Once each Calendar Quarter or,
if the Commitment consists only of a Fixed Facility Commitment, once each
Calendar Year, within 20 Business Days after Borrower has delivered to Lender
the reports required in Section 8.03, Lender shall determine the Aggregate Debt
Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and whether
Borrower is in compliance with the other covenants set forth in the Loan
Documents. After the First Anniversary, on an annual basis, and if Lender
reasonably decides that changed market or property conditions warrant, Lender
shall determine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations. Lender shall also
redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts to take account of any addition or
release of Collateral or other event which invalidates the outstanding
determinations. In determining Valuations, Lender shall use Cap Rates based on
its internal survey and analysis of cap rates for comparable sales in the
vicinity of the Mortgaged Property, with such adjustments as Lender deems
appropriate and without any obligation to use any information provided by
Borrower. If Lender is unable to determine a Cap Rate for a Mortgaged Property,
Lender shall have the right, not more than once annually, to obtain a market
study in order to establish a Cap Rate. Lender shall promptly disclose its
determinations to Borrower. Until redetermined, the outstanding Allocable
Facility Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, no change in Allocable Facility Amounts,
Valuations, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio or the Aggregate Debt Service
Coverage Ratio shall, unless resulting from the removal of Collateral from the
Collateral Pool, (i) result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
or (ii) preclude the making of a Rollover Variable Advance.
ARTICLE 3
COLLATERAL CHANGES
SECTION 3.01. Right to Add Collateral.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, Borrower shall have
the right, from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, to add
Multifamily Residential Properties to the Collateral Pools.
SECTION 3.02. Procedure for Adding Collateral.
The procedure for adding Collateral contained in this Section 3.02 shall
apply to all additions of Collateral.
(a) Request. Borrower may deliver to Lender an Addition Request
to add one or more Multifamily Residential Properties to a Collateral Pool. Each
Addition Request shall be accompanied by the following: (i) the information
required by the DUS Guide Underwriting
9
Requirements and any additional information Lender may reasonably request; and
(ii) the payment of all Additional Collateral Due Diligence Fees.
(b) Underwriting. Prior to the First Anniversary, Borrower may
add any Additional Mortgaged Property provided that, after such addition, the
Coverage and LTV Tests are satisfied. Thereafter, the proposed Additional
Mortgaged Property must itself have a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less
than 1.35 to 1.0 and a Loan to Value Ratio of not more than 65% and, after such
addition, the Coverage and LTV Tests must be satisfied. Lender shall evaluate
the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property in accordance with the DUS Guide
Underwriting Requirements, including then applicable underwriting interest rate
floors, and shall make underwriting determinations as to the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio and the Loan to Value Ratio of the proposed Additional Mortgaged
Property and the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to
Value Ratio applicable to the Collateral Pool on the basis of the lesser of (1)
the acquisition price of the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property if purchased
by Borrower within 12 months of the related Addition Request, and (2) a
Valuation made with respect to the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property.
Within 30 Business Days after receipt of (1) the Addition Request and (2) all
reports, certificates and documents required by the DUS Guide Underwriting
Requirements, including a zoning analysis undertaken in accordance with Section
206 of Part III of the DUS Guide, Lender shall notify Borrower whether it shall
consent to the Addition Request. If Lender consents it shall set forth the
Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio
which it estimates shall result from the addition of the proposed Additional
Mortgaged Property. Within five Business Days after receipt of Lender's consent
to the Addition Request, Borrower shall notify Lender whether it elects to add
the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property to a Collateral Pool. If Borrower
fails to respond within the period of five Business Days, it shall be
conclusively deemed to have elected not to add the proposed Additional Mortgaged
Property to a Collateral Pool.
(c) Closing. If Lender consents to the Addition Request,
Borrower timely elects to add the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property to a
Collateral Pool and all conditions precedent contained in Section 6.04 and all
General Conditions contained in Section 6.01 are satisfied, Lender shall permit
the addition of the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property to a Collateral Pool,
at a closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date
selected by Lender, occurring within 30 Business Days after Lender's receipt of
Borrower's election (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree).
SECTION 3.03. Right to Obtain Releases of Collateral.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, Borrower shall have
the right to obtain a release of Collateral from the Collateral Pool.
SECTION 3.04. Procedure for Obtaining Releases of Collateral.
(a) Request. To obtain a release of Collateral from the
Collateral Pool, Borrower may deliver a Release Request to Lender. The Release
Request shall not result in a termination of all or any part of the Credit
Facility. Borrower may terminate all or any part of the Credit Facility only by
delivering a Facility Termination Request or Credit Facility Termination Request
pursuant to Article 5.
10
(b) Closing. If all conditions precedent contained in Section
6.05 and all General Conditions contained in Section 6.01 are satisfied, Lender
shall cause the Release Property to be released, at a closing to be held at
offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date selected by Lender, and occurring
within 30 days after Lender's receipt of the Release Request (or on such other
date as Borrower and Lender may agree), by executing and delivering, and causing
all applicable parties to execute and deliver, all at the sole cost and expense
of Borrower, the Release Documents. Borrower shall prepare the Release Documents
and submit them to Lender for its review.
(c) Release Price. The "Release Price" for each Mortgaged
Property means (A) if the Recourse Termination Date has not occurred, the
amount, if any, of Advances Outstanding which are required to be repaid by the
Borrower to the Lender in connection with the proposed release of the Mortgaged
Property from the Collateral Pool so that, immediately after the release, the
Coverage and LTV Tests will be satisfied, and (B) if the Recourse Termination
Date has occurred, the greater of (i) the Allocable Facility Amount for the
Mortgaged Property to be released and (ii) the amount, if any, of Advances
Outstanding which are required to be repaid by the Borrower to the Lender in
connection with the proposed release of the Mortgaged Property from the
Collateral Pool so that, immediately after the release, the Coverage and LTV
Tests will be satisfied. In addition to the Release Price, the Borrower shall
pay to the Lender the Release Fee and all associated prepayment premiums and
other amounts due under the Notes and any Advance Confirmation Instruments
evidencing the Advances being repaid.
(d) Application of Release Price. The portion of the Release
Price equal to 100% of the Allocable Facility Amount for the Release Property
shall be applied first against the Variable Advances Outstanding until there are
no further Variable Advances Outstanding, then against the prepayment of Fixed
Advances Outstanding, so long as the prepayment is permitted under the
applicable Fixed Facility Note. The remainder of the Release Price shall be held
by Lender (or its appointed collateral agent) as substitute Collateral
("Substitute Cash Collateral"), in accordance with a security agreement and
other documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Substitute Cash
Collateral remaining will be returned to the Borrower on (A) if the Recourse
Termination Date has not occurred, in whole or in part, from time to time, upon
written request of the Borrower, provided that, immediately after such return,
the Coverage and LTV Tests will be satisfied (calculated using the definition of
"Facility Debt Service" set forth in paragraph (b) of such definition), and (B)
if the Recourse Termination Date has occurred, the Termination Date. If, on the
date Borrower pays the Release Price, Variable Advances are Outstanding but not
then due and payable, Lender shall hold the Release Price as additional
Collateral, until the next date on which Variable Advances are due and payable,
at which time Lender shall apply the appropriate portion of the Release Price to
such Variable Advances.
(e) Title Insurance. Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Section 3.04, no release of any of the Mortgaged Properties shall be made
unless the Borrower has provided title insurance, taking into account tie-in
endorsements, to Lender in respect of each of the remaining Mortgaged Properties
in the Collateral Pool in an amount equal to 125% of the Initial Valuation of
each of such remaining Mortgaged Properties.
11
SECTION 3.05. Right to Substitute Collateral.
Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of Section 3.02 and
Section 3.04, Borrower shall have the right to add a Multifamily Residential
Property to the Collateral Pool simultaneously with the release of a Release
Property thereby effecting a substitution. In connection with a substitution,
Borrower shall pay all Substitution Fees and Release Fees, but shall not be
required to pay any Addition Fees or, to the extent of the Allocable Facility
Amount of the Mortgaged Property added to the Collateral Pool, any Release
Price.

opinion of counsel to Lender may prohibit Borrower from paying the Loan Document
Taxes to or for Lender, Borrower shall enter into such further instruments as
may be permitted by law to obligate Borrower to pay such Loan Document Taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any
payment pursuant to this Section 8.10 with respect to (i) any Loan Document

assignee or participant to provide timely Borrower with an applicable
certification or form (including, without limitation, the appropriate Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8) if providing such certification would have resulted in
an exemption from or reduction in such Loan Document Taxes or (ii) any Loan

participant becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise acquires an interest

or any of the other Loan Documents or to subject the Collateral to the lien and

implement, to assure the lien and security interests intended by the terms of

by Lender to make the determination required by this Section;
(ii) the absence of any Event of Default;
(iii) the transferee meets all of the eligibility, credit,
management and other standards (including any standards with respect to previous
relationships between Lender and the transferee and the organization of the

to the approval of Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, in connection with
the origination or purchase of similar mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to
secure debt on multifamily properties;
(iv) in the case of a Transfer of direct or indirect
ownership interests in Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, if transferor

assumption agreement that is acceptable to Lender and that, among other things,
requires the transferee to perform all obligations of transferor or such person
set forth in such Loan Document, and may require that the transferee comply with
any provisions of this Instrument or any other Loan Document which previously
may have been waived by Lender;
(v) Lender's receipt of all of the following:

affect the operation of the Mortgaged Property or Lender's interest in the
Mortgaged Property and Borrower pays to Lender, on demand, all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with reviewing Borrower's request.
Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to or withhold its agreement
to subordinate the lien of a Security Instrument to (A) the grant of a utility
easement serving a Mortgaged Property to a publicly operated utility, or (B) the
grant of an easement related to expansion or widening of roadways, provided that
any such easement is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and

such failure, the Borrower shall (i) add Additional Mortgaged Properties to the
Collateral Pool in accordance with Article 3 so that after such addition the
Coverage and LTV Tests are met, or (ii) prepay Advances Outstanding in an amount
sufficient to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Coverage and LTV
Tests. Any prepayments made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied
first against the Variable Advances Outstanding in the sequence specified by
Borrower until there are no further Variable Advances Outstanding then against
the prepayment of Fixed Advances Outstanding so long as the prepayment is
permitted under the applicable Fixed Facility Note. If no prepayment is
permitted under the applicable Fixed Facility Note, such prepayment amount shall
be held by Lender (or its appointed collateral agent) as Substitute Cash
Collateral in accordance with a security agreement and other documents in form

Subsidiaries, to exceed 15% of Total Asset Value.
If the financial covenants set forth in Guarantor's line of credit on
which the financial covenants set forth in this Section 8.18 are based are

REMEDIES
SECTION 12.01. Remedies; Waivers.
Subject to Article 15 of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Lender may do any one or more of the following (without presentment,
protest or notice of protest, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower):
(a) by written notice to Borrower, to be effective upon
dispatch, terminate the Commitment and declare the principal of, and interest
on, the Advances and all other sums owing by Borrower to Lender under any of the
Loan Documents forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Commitment will
terminate and the principal of, and interest on, the Advances and all other sums
owing by Borrower to Lender under any of the Loan Documents will become
forthwith due and payable.
(b) Lender shall have the right to pursue any other remedies
available to it under any of the Loan Documents.
(c) Lender shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity, including obtaining specific performance
and injunctive relief.
SECTION 12.02. Waivers; Rescission of Declaration.
Lender shall have the right, to be exercised in its complete discretion,
to waive any breach hereunder (including the occurrence of an Event of Default),
by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions, and extent of such waiver
signed by Lender and delivered to Borrower. Unless such writing expressly
provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the
specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the waiver and not to any other
similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.
45
SECTION 12.03. Lender's Right to Protect Collateral and Perform
Covenants and Other Obligations.
If Borrower or Guarantor fails to perform the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then Lender at
Lender's option may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such
action as Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Lender's
interest, including (i) disbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees, (ii) entry
upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs and replacements, (iii) procurement
of satisfactory insurance as provided in Section 5 of the Security Instrument
encumbering the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) if the Security Instrument is on a
leasehold, exercise of any option to renew or extend the ground lease on behalf
of Borrower and the curing of any default of Borrower in the terms and
conditions of the ground lease. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this
Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower
secured by the Loan Documents. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms
of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the weighted average, as determined by
Lender, of the interest rates in effect from time to time for each Advance
unless collection from Borrower of interest at such rate would be contrary to
applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest
rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. Nothing
contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any
action hereunder.
SECTION 12.04. No Remedy Exclusive.
Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given
under the Loan Documents or existing at law or in equity.
SECTION 12.05. No Waiver.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing under any
Loan Document upon the happening of any Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient.
SECTION 12.06. No Notice.
To entitle Lender to exercise any remedy reserved to Lender in this
Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as
may be required under the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.

the terms, limitations and conditions contained in the Special Pool Purchase

Borrower hereby acknowledges that, after the assignment of Loan Documents
contemplated in Section 13.02, Lender shall not have the right or power to
effect a release of any Collateral pursuant to Article 6. Borrower acknowledges
that the Security Instruments provide for the release of the Collateral under

obligations contained in Article 3, but shall look solely to the party secured
by the Collateral to be released for such performance. Lender represents and
warrants to Borrower that the party secured by the Collateral shall be subject
to the release provisions contained in Article 3 by virtue of the release
provisions in each Security Instrument.
SECTION 13.04. Replacement of Lender.
At the request of Xxxxxx Xxx, Borrower and Lender shall agree to the
assumption by another lender designated by Xxxxxx Mae (which lender shall meet
Xxxxxx Mae's then current standards for lenders for credit facilities of the
type and size of the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement), of all of the
obligations of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or
any related servicing obligations, and, at Xxxxxx Mae's option, the concurrent
release of Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and/or any related servicing obligations, and shall execute all
releases, modifications and other documents which Xxxxxx Xxx determines are
necessary or desirable to effect such assumption.
SECTION 13.05. Xxxxxx Mae and Lender Fees and Expenses.
Borrower agrees that any provision providing for the payment of fees,
costs or expenses incurred or charged by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall
be deemed to provide for Borrower's payment of all reasonable fees, costs and

matter for which fees, costs or expenses are payable.
47
SECTION 13.06. Third-Party Beneficiary.
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx Mae is a third party
beneficiary of all of the representations, warranties and covenants made by
Borrower to, and all rights under this Agreement conferred upon, Lender, and, by

liability of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document for
the performance of any Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents
shall be limited to an amount equal to 15% of the amount of Advances Outstanding
from time to time (the "Guaranteed Amount"), and the Lender's only recourse for
the payment and performance of the Obligations in excess of such Guaranteed
Amount shall be the Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties and any other Collateral held by the Lender as security
for the Obligations. From and after the Recourse Termination Date, except as
provided in this Article, Borrower shall not be personally liable for the
Obligations. Except as otherwise set forth in the Guaranty, this limitation on
the Borrower's liability shall not limit or impair the Lender's enforcement of
its rights against any guarantor of all or part of the Obligations.
(b) Exceptions to Limits on Personal Liability. Borrower shall
be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a portion of the Advances
and other amounts due under the Loan Documents equal to any loss or damage (but
not consequential loss or damage) suffered by Lender as a direct result of (1)
failure of Borrower to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event
48
of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the
Security Instrument encumbering the Mortgaged Property and the amount of all
security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence; (2)
failure of Borrower to apply all insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or
security deposits from tenants as required by the Security Instrument
encumbering the Mortgaged Property; (3) fraud or written material
misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor or any officer, director, partner,
member or employee of Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the application
for or creation of the Obligations or any request for any action or consent by
Lender; or (4) failure to apply Rents, first, to the payment of reasonable
operating expenses and then to amounts ("Debt Service Amounts") payable under
the Loan Documents (except that Borrower will not be personally liable (i) to
the extent that Borrower lacks the legal right to direct the disbursement of
such sums because of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding,
or (ii) with respect to Rents of a Mortgaged Property that are distributed in
any Calendar Quarter if Borrower has paid all operating expenses and Debt
Service Amounts for that Calendar Quarter).
(c) Full Recourse. Borrower shall be personally liable to
Lender for the payment and performance of all Obligations upon the occurrence of
any of the following Events of Default: (1) Borrower's acquisition of any
property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of any
Security Instrument; or (2) a Transfer that is an Event of Default under Section
21 of any Security Instrument; or (3) the failure to comply with any and all
indemnification obligations contained in Section 18 of any Security Instrument;
or (4) commencement of a voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy laws.
(d) Miscellaneous. To the extent that Borrower has personal
liability under this Section or the Guarantor has liability under the Guaranty,
such liability shall be joint and several and Lender may exercise its rights
against Borrower or Guarantor personally without regard to whether Lender has
exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or
pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available
to Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law. For purposes of this
Article, the term "Mortgaged Property" shall not include any funds that (1) have
been applied by Borrower as required or permitted by the Loan Documents prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (2) are owned by Borrower or Guarantor
and which Borrower was unable to apply as required or permitted by the Loan
Documents because of a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

50
applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest

shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to the next Business

EXHIBIT B TO MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
FIXED FACILITY NOTE
US $____________ __________, 20__
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the "Borrower") promises to pay to
the order of PRUDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGE, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Lender") the principal sum of _______________________________ AND NO/100
DOLLARS (US $____________), with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the
annual rate of percent ( %).
This Note is executed and delivered by Borrower pursuant to that certain
Master Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2003 by and between
Borrower and Lender (as amended from time to time, the "Master Agreement"), to
evidence the obligation of Borrower to repay a Fixed Advance made by Lender to
Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement. This Note is
entitled to the benefit and security of the Loan Documents provided for in the
Master Agreement, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of all of
the terms and conditions under which the Fixed Advance evidenced hereby is made.
1. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, (i) the term "Lender" means
the holder of this Note, and (ii) the term "Indebtedness" means the principal
of, interest on, or, to the extent in respect hereof, any other amounts due at
any time under, this Note, the Security Instruments or any other Loan Document,
including prepayment premiums, late charges, default interest, and advances to
protect the security of the Security Instruments under Section 12 of the
Security Instruments. Event of Default and other capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Master
Agreement or, if not defined in the Master Agreement, as defined in the Security
Instruments (as defined in Paragraph 5).
2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be
payable at Prudential Multifamily Mortgage, Inc., a Delaware corporation, c/o
Prudential Asset Resources, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000X, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000,
or such other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or
on behalf of Lender.
3. Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest shall be
paid as follows:
(a) Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on
the first day of the month, interest for the period beginning on the date of
disbursement and ending on and including the last day of the month in which such
disbursement is made shall be payable simultaneously with the execution of this
Note. Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.
B-1
(b) Consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, each
in the amount of ______________________________________ Dollars (US $ ), shall
be payable on the first day of each month beginning on _________________, until
the entire unpaid principal balance evidenced by this Note is fully paid. Any
accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more shall be added to and
become part of the unpaid principal balance and shall bear interest at the rate
or rates specified in this Note, and any reference below to "accrued interest"
shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid
principal balance. Any remaining principal and interest shall be due and payable
on _______________, 20__ or on any earlier date on which the unpaid principal
balance of this Note becomes due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (the
"Maturity Date"). The unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest
after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate set forth in this Note until and
including the date on which it is paid in full.
(c) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of principal and
interest that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to
have been received on the due date solely for the purpose of calculating
interest due.
4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from
Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness that is less
than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply that payment 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. Intentionally Omitted.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, the
prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts
payable under this Note and any other Loan Document shall at once become due and
payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower. Lender
may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.
7. Late Charge. If any monthly amount payable under this Note or
under the Security Instruments or any other Loan Document is not received by
Lender within 10 days after the amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender,
immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to 5 percent of
such amount. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will
cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the loan
evidenced by this Note (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 Paragraph 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 Paragraph 8.
B-2
8. Default Rate. So long as any monthly installment or any other
payment due under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more, interest under
this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the
due date of the first unpaid monthly installment or other payment due, as
applicable, at a rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of 4 percentage
points above the rate stated in the first paragraph of this Note or the maximum
interest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. If the
unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the
Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear
interest from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate. Borrower also acknowledges
that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional
expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, that, during the time that any
monthly installment or payment under this Note is delinquent for more than 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 that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional
costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any
monthly installment or other payment due under this Note is delinquent for more
than 30 days, 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 Borrower's delinquent payment
and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased
risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.
9. Limits on Personal Liability.
The provisions of Article 15 of the Master Agreement (entitled "Limits on
Personal Liability") are hereby incorporated into this Note by this reference to
the fullest extent as if the text of such Article were set forth in its entirety
herein.
10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

prepayment made under this Note as provided below:

notice of its intention to make such prepayment. Such prepayment shall be

interest, (C) all other sums due Lender under this Note and otherwise due
and payable in connection with such prepayment under the other Loan
Documents at the time of such prepayment, and (D) the prepayment premium

Note, a "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any
other day on which Lender is not open for business.
(2) Upon Lender's exercise of any right of acceleration under
this Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the entire unpaid
principal balance of this Note outstanding at the time of the
acceleration, (A) all accrued interest and all other sums due Lender
under this Note and the other Loan Documents, and (B) the prepayment
premium calculated pursuant to Schedule A.
(3) Any application by Lender of any collateral or other
security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance
of this Note prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of
acceleration shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment by Borrower,
requiring the payment to Lender by Borrower of a prepayment premium. The
amount of any such partial prepayment shall be computed so as to provide
to Lender a prepayment premium computed pursuant to Schedule A without
Borrower having to pay out-of-pocket any additional amounts.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 10(a), no
prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (A) any prepayment made no
more than 90 days before the Maturity Date, or (B) any prepayment occurring as a
result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under
any Security Instrument.
(c) Schedules A and B are hereby incorporated by reference into
this Note.
(d) Any required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall be applied to the final payment due in respect of
this Note and shall not extend or postpone the due date of any other monthly
installments or change the amount of such installments, unless Lender agrees
otherwise in writing.
(e) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of the unpaid
principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or 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 on Schedule A represents a reasonable
estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment.
(f) Borrower further acknowledges that the prepayment premium
provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the loan
evidenced by this Note, and acknowledges that the terms of this Note are in
other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of Borrower's voluntary
agreement to the prepayment premium provisions.
B-4
11. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable
expenses and costs, including fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and
expert witnesses and costs of investigation, 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 Security Instruments, 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. Except as expressly provided in the Master Agreement,
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 are
waived by Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other
third party obligors.
14. Loan Charges. 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 any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other
charges provided for in 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. Borrower agrees to
an effective rate of interest that is the stated rate of interest plus any
additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges or fees that are to
be paid by Borrower to Lender that may be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be interest. 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 the stated term of the Note. 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 the Note.
15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is
being incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or
commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family or household purposes.
B-5
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; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; WAIVER OF TRIAL
BY JURY. The provisions of Section 17.06 of the Master Agreement (entitled
"Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial") are hereby
incorporated into this Note by this reference to the fullest extent as if the
text of such Section were set forth in its entirety herein.
18. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for
convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.
19. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or
permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be given
in accordance with Section 17.08 of the Master Agreement.
20. Security for this Note. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is
secured by the Security Documents executed by Borrower or its Affiliates.
Reference is made hereby to the Master Agreement and the Security Documents for
additional rights and remedies of Lender relating to the indebtedness evidenced
by this Note. Each Security Document shall be released in accordance with the
provisions of the Master Agreement and the Security Documents.
21. Fixed Facility. This Note is issued as part of the Fixed Facility
established in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement. Borrower may
not re-borrow any amounts under this Note which it has previously borrowed and
repaid under this Note.
22. Cross-Default with Master Agreement. The occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Master Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" under
this Note, and, accordingly, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Master Agreement, the entire principal amount outstanding hereunder and
accrued interest thereon shall at once become due and payable, at the option of
the holder hereof.

MODIFICATIONS TO FIXED FACILITY NOTE
The Fixed Facility Note dated ___________, 20___, in the original
principal amount of $____________ (the "Note") issued by
_____________________________, a _____________________________ ("Borrower"), and
payable to the order of PRUDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGE, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Lender") is hereby amended as follows:
1. Defeasance. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10 of this Note, Advances
are not prepayable at any time, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Borrower may prepay the amount Outstanding with respect to the Facility
during the period ending on the date ninety (90) days preceding the Facility
Termination Date (the "Lockout Period") and the Borrower may provide for the
Defeasance of all (but not less than all) of the Advances Outstanding pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Section 1 in connection with the release of
Mortgaged Properties in conformance with Section 6.05 of the Master Agreement.
(a) Conditions. Subject to Section 1(d), the Borrower shall

consummated; (ii) the Mortgaged Property or Properties proposed to
be released and the related Allocable Facility Amount (the

Xxxxxx Xxx Investment Security to effect the Defeasance; and (iv)
whether, if Treasury Securities are to be used to effect the
Defeasance, the Successor Borrower will be designated by the
Borrower or Lender. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt after
Defeasance Notice, the Borrower shall, if it wishes to proceed
with the transaction described in the Defeasance Notice, sign the
Defeasance Notice and return it to the Lender.
(2) Lender Confirmation. With reasonable promptness, the
Lender shall determine whether Defeasance is then permitted as
provided in Section 1(d), whether the terms of the Defeasance
Notice are reasonably acceptable to it and, if requested to do so
by the Defeasance Notice, shall obtain from Xxxxxx Mae a
commitment to issue a Xxxxxx Xxx Investment Security to effect the
Defeasance.
B-12
Lender shall, thereupon, notify the Borrower of its determination
and, if it is able to obtain a commitment from Xxxxxx Xxx to issue
a Xxxxxx Mae Investment Security to effect the Defeasance, the
price of such Xxxxxx Xxx Investment Security. After Lender
notifies the Borrower of the availability of a Xxxxxx Mae
Investment Security in accordance with the foregoing, the Borrower
will have one (1) Business Day to accept such commitment and to

(3) Closing Documents. The Borrower shall deliver to
Lender on or before the Defeasance Closing Date the documents

applicable U.S. Treasury Securities to be delivered pursuant to
the Pledge Agreement referred to below. If a Xxxxxx Xxx Investment
Security will be used to effect the Defeasance, then, on or before
3:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the Defeasance Closing Date,
the Borrower shall pay the Defeasance Deposit (reduced by the
Defeasance Commitment Fee) to, or as directed by, Lender to be
used by Lender to purchase the Xxxxxx Mae Investment Security as
the Borrower's agent.
(5) Additional Amounts Payable by the Borrower. On or
before the Defeasance Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to
Lender, in addition to the U.S. Treasury Securities or the
Defeasance Deposit (reduced by the Defeasance Commitment Fee), an
amount equal to the sum of:
(A) The Next Scheduled P&I Payment; and
(B) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with the Defeasance, including the
fees and disbursements of Lender's legal counsel.
(6) Covenants, Representations and Warranties. On the
Defeasance Closing Date, the Borrower shall be in compliance with
all the covenants of the Borrower set forth in Articles 14, 15, 16
and 20 of the Master Agreement and all the representations and
warranties of the Borrower set forth in Articles 12 and 13 (solely

true and correct in all material respects as if made on such
Defeasance Closing Date.

B-13
all amounts paid with respect to the U.S. Treasury Securities be applied
to make Defeased Payments due with respect to the Defeased Amount.
(2) An assignment and assumption agreement (the "Assignment and
Assumption Agreement"), in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
executed by the Borrower and a successor entity (the "Successor
Borrower"), designated by Lender or Borrower as provided in the
Defeasance Notice and acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion,
providing for (i) the transfer and assignment by the Borrower to
Successor Borrower of the U.S. Treasury Securities, subject to the lien
and security interest in favor of Lender, (ii) the assumption by
Successor Borrower of all liabilities and obligations of the Borrower
with respect to the Defeased Amount and (iii) the release by Lender of
the Borrower from all liabilities and obligations with respect to the
Defeased Amount. The Lender shall execute the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement for the purpose of acknowledging the release of the Borrower's
obligations with respect to the Defeased Amount and return a counterpart
to the Borrower and Successor Borrower; provided, however, that such
acknowledgement shall not be a condition to the Defeasance
(3) An opinion of counsel for the Borrower, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, to the effect that (i) Lender has a
valid and perfected lien and security interest of first priority in the
U.S. Treasury Securities or Xxxxxx Mae Investment Security and the
proceeds thereof; (ii) the Pledge Agreement and the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement have been duly authorized and validly executed and
delivered by the Borrower and the Successor Borrower; and (iii) the
Defeasance, including the granting to Lender by both the Borrower and the
Substitute Borrower of a lien and security interest in the U.S. Treasury
Securities or Xxxxxx Xxx Investment Security used to effect the
Defeasance, is not subject to avoidance under any applicable federal or
state laws, including Sections 547 and 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
(4) Unless waived by Lender:
(A) a certificate in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender, issued by an independent certified public accountant, or
financial consultant or other person approved by Lender, to the
effect that the payments on U.S. Treasury Securities or Xxxxxx Mae
Investment Security used to effect the Defeasance due, on or
before each date on which a Defeased Payment is due, are not less
than such Defeased Payment;
(B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, that the Defeasance will not
result in a "sale or exchange" within the meaning of Section
1001(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and the temporary and final
regulations promulgated thereunder; and
(C) such other opinions, certificates, documents or
instruments as Lender may reasonably request.
(c) Release. Upon the Borrower's compliance with the requirements of
Sections 1(a) and (b), the Mortgaged Properties shall be released from the lien
of the Security Instruments.
B-14
Lender shall, with reasonable promptness, execute and deliver to the Borrower,
at the Borrower's cost and expense, any additional documents reasonably
requested by the Borrower in order to evidence or confirm the release of the
Security Instruments.
(d) Defeasance Not Allowed. The Borrower shall not have the right to
obtain a Defeasance at any of the following times:
(1) before the third anniversary of the Initial Closing Date;
or
(2) after Lender has accelerated the maturity of the unpaid
principal balance of, accrued interest on, and other amounts payable with
respect to the Advances.

the Defeasance, the Borrower authorizes Lender to use, and appoints Lender as
its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using, the Defeasance Deposit

to purchase a Xxxxxx Mae Investment Security and to deliver such Xxxxxx Xxx
Investment Security to itself in satisfaction of the Allocable Facility Amount
to be defeased.

Investment Security, the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under
Sections 1(a) and 1(b), Lender shall have the right to retain any
Defeasance Commitment Fee as liquidated damages for the Borrower's
default, as Lender's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to its
expenses in obtaining from Xxxxxx Mae a commitment to issue the Xxxxxx
Mae Investment Security, and, except as provided in Section 1(f)(2), the
Borrower shall be released from all further obligations under this
Section 1 with respect to such Defeasance Notice. The Borrower
acknowledges that, from and after the date on which Lender has delivered
the Defeasance Commitment Fee, Lender will incur financing costs in
obtaining a commitment for the issuance of the Xxxxxx Xxx Investment
Security and agrees that the Defeasance Commitment Fee represents a fair
and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing
on the date of the Master Agreement, of the damages (other than third
party costs referred to in Section 1(f)(2)) Lender will incur by reason
of the Borrower's default.
(2) Third Party Costs. The Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender
for all reasonable third party costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in reliance on the Defeasance
Notice, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a

EXHIBIT C TO MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
VARIABLE FACILITY NOTE
US $__________________ _________, 20__
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Borrower") promises to pay to the
order of PRUDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGE, INC., a Delaware corporation, the
principal sum of _________________________ Dollars and 00/100 Dollars (US
$________________________), or so much as shall be Outstanding from time to
time, with interest thereon at an annual rate as calculated in Section 3 hereof.
This Note is executed and delivered by Borrower pursuant to that certain
Master Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2003, by and between
Borrower and Lender (as amended from time to time, the "Master Agreement"), to
evidence the obligation of Borrower to repay Variable Advances made by Lender to
Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement. This Note is
entitled to the benefit and security of the Loan Documents provided for in the
Master Agreement, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of all of
the terms and conditions under which the Variable Advances evidenced hereby is
made. The Master Agreement requires certain of the terms of each Variable
Advance to be evidenced by an Advance Confirmation Instrument, and reference is
hereby made to each such Advance Confirmation Instrument for such terms.
This Note is issued as part of a Variable Facility established in
accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement. Subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of Article 1 of the Master Agreement, Borrower may
re-borrow any amounts under this Note which they have previously borrowed and
repaid under this Note.
1. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, (i) the term "Lender" means
the holder of this Note, and (ii) the term "Indebtedness" means the principal
of, interest on, or any other amounts due at any time under, this Note, and, to
the extent in respect hereof, the Security Instruments or any other Loan
Document, including prepayment premiums, late charges, default interest, and
advances to protect the security of the Security Instruments under Section 12 of
the Security Instruments. Event of Default and other capitalized terms used but
not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Master Agreement or, if not defined in the Master Agreement, as defined in the
Security Instruments (as defined in Paragraph 5).
2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be
payable at Prudential Multifamily Mortgage, Inc., a Delaware corporation, c/o
Prudential Asset Resources, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000X, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000,
or such other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or
on behalf of Lender.
C-1
3. Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest shall be
paid as follows:
(a) This Note shall evidence Variable Advances made from time to time
under the Master Agreement. Each Variable Advance shall bear interest at a rate
determined in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Master Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(b) of the Master
Agreement, Borrower shall pay imputed interest on each Variable Advance in
advance in the form of a Discount in accordance with Section 1.04(b) of the
Master Agreement (except that Borrower shall pay actual interest on the Variable
Advance for the partial month period, if any, in accordance with Section 1.04(a)
of the Master Agreement). If not sooner paid, the entire principal amount (which
amount shall not include the Discount, which Discount is paid in advance) of
each Variable Advance shall be due and payable on the maturity date of the
applicable Variable Advance (the "Maturity Date") in accordance with Section
1.03 of the Master Agreement. In addition to payment of principal and the
Discount, Borrower shall pay the Variable Facility Fee due on each Variable
Advance in accordance with Section 1.04(b)(ii) of the Master Agreement. No
Variable Advance may have a Maturity Date later than, and any then outstanding
Variable Advance shall be due and payable in full on, the related Variable
Facility Termination Date.
4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from
Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness that is less
than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply that payment 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, among other things, by the
Security Instruments described in the Master Agreement and reference is made to
the Security Instruments for other rights of Lender concerning the collateral
for the Indebtedness.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, the
prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts
payable under this Note and any other Loan Document shall at once become due and
payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower. Lender
may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.
7. Late Charge. If any monthly amount payable under this Note or
under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received by
Lender within 10 days after the amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender,
immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to 5 percent of
such amount. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will
cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the loan
evidenced by this Note (the "Loan"), and that it is extremely difficult and
impractical to
C-2
determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge
payable pursuant to this Paragraph 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 Paragraph 8.
8. Default Rate. So long as any monthly installment or any other
payment due under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more, interest under
this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the
due date of the first unpaid monthly installment or other payment due, as
applicable, at a rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of 4 percentage
points above the rate stated in the first paragraph of this Note or the maximum
interest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. If the
unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the
Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear
interest from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate. Borrower also acknowledges
that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional
expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, that, during the time that any
monthly installment or payment under this Note is delinquent for more than 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 that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional
costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any
monthly installment or other payment due under this Note is delinquent for more
than 30 days, 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 Borrower's delinquent payment
and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased
risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.
9. Limits on Personal Liability.
The provisions of Article 15 of the Master Agreement (entitled "Limits on
Personal Liability") are hereby incorporated into this Note by this reference to
the fullest extent as if the text of such Article were set forth in its entirety
herein.
10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.
Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, Borrower shall pay
the entire amount of the Discount on any Variable Advance in advance.
Accordingly, any Variable Advance may be prepaid in whole or in part and at any
time without penalty. Borrower shall give Lender five Business Days advance
notice of any prepayment.
11. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable
expenses and costs, including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
attorneys and expert witnesses and costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as
a result of any default under this Note or in
C-3
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 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. Except as expressly provided in the Master Agreement,
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 are
waived by Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other
third party obligors.
14. Loan Charges. 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 any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other
charges provided for in 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. Borrower agrees to
an effective rate of interest that is the stated rate of interest plus any
additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges or fees that are to
be paid by Borrower to Lender that may be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be interest. 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 the stated term of the Note. 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 the Note.
15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is
being incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or
commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family or household 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.
C-4
17. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The
provisions of Section 17.06 of the Master Agreement (entitled "Choice of Law;
Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial") are hereby incorporated into
this Note by this reference to the fullest extent as if the text of such Section
were set forth in its entirety herein.
18. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for
convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.
19. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or
permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be given
in accordance with Section 17.08 of the Master Agreement.
20. Cross-Default with Master Agreement. The occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Master Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" under
this Note, and, accordingly, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Master Agreement, the entire principal amount outstanding hereunder and
accrued interest thereon shall at once become due and payable, at the option of
the holder hereof.
21. Advance Confirmation Instruments; Accounting for Variable
Advances. The terms of the Master Agreement and this Note govern the repayment,
and all other terms relating to each Variable Advance. However, Borrower shall
execute an Advance Confirmation Instrument to create a physical instrument
evidencing the Variable Advance. The Advance Confirmation Instrument for a
Variable Advance executed by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02 of the
Master Agreement shall set forth the amount, term, Discount, Closing Date and
certain other terms of the Variable Advance. The Advance Confirmation Instrument
shall conclusively establish each of the terms described in the preceding
sentence, absent manifest error. The Variable Advance evidenced by the Advance
Confirmation Instrument does not represent a separate indebtedness from that
evidenced by this Note. In making proof of this Note, no other documents other
than this Note shall be required. In making proof of the amount and terms of the
outstanding Variable Advances under this Note, this Note, the Advance
Confirmation Instruments for the Variable Advances, and Lender's records
concerning payments made by Borrower under this Note, shall be conclusive
evidence of the terms and outstanding amounts of each Variable Advance, absent
manifest error.
23. Priority of Advances. Each Variable Advance under this Note shall
be evidenced by an Advance Confirmation Instrument, and the lien of each
Security Document executed by Borrower from time to time to secure this Note,
shall secure each separate Advance (and the lien of each Security Instrument and
other Security Document executed by Borrower to secure its obligations under the
Loan Documents) to the same extent and with the same effect as if the Advance
had been made (and any guaranty obligation had been incurred) on the date on
which (i) with respect to each other Security Instrument, the Security
Instrument is recorded in the land records of the jurisdiction in which the real
property covered by the Security Instrument is located, or (ii) with respect to
each other Security Document, the date on which the Security Document is
executed and delivered to Lender.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has signed and delivered this Note under

Delaware corporation ("Lender").
RECITALS
A. Lender has agreed to execute that certain Master Credit Facility
Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2003 (as amended from time to time, the "Master
Agreement"), pursuant to which, inter alia, Lender has agreed, subject to the
terms, conditions and limitations of the Master Agreement, to loan to the

guaranteed by this Guaranty to the extent of the Borrower's personal liability

This Guaranty shall be an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and
not of collection, and is in no way conditioned upon any attempt by Lender to
pursue or exhaust any remedy against Borrower. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty which shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid and performed in full; and Guarantor shall not be
released from any obligations to Lender under this Guaranty as long as any
amount payable by the Borrower to Lender, or any obligation by the Borrower,
under the Loan Documents is not performed, satisfied, settled or paid in full.
S-1
Section 3. Form of Payment. All payments under this Guaranty shall be
made to Lender in immediately available funds, without reduction by any
recoupment, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim against Lender.
Section 4. Guarantor's Obligations are Absolute. The obligations of
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be
subject to any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction, or defense (other
than the defense of payment) based upon any claim Guarantor may have against
Lender or Borrower and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to,
and shall not be released, discharged or terminated or in any other way affected
by, any circumstance or condition (whether or not Guarantor shall have any
knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation:
(a) any amendment or modification of, or extension of time for payment
of any of the principal of, interest on or other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents;
(b) any exercise or non-exercise by Lender of any right, power or
remedy under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any waiver, consent,
forbearance, indulgence or other action, inaction or omission by Lender under or
in respect of the Loan Documents;
(c) any assignment, sale or other transfer of Borrower's interest in
all or any part of the real or personal property which at any time constitutes
collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without
limitation, a conveyance of such property by Borrower to Lender by deed in lieu
of foreclosure;
(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding involving or affecting
Borrower or Lender or their respective properties or creditors, or any action
taken with respect to the Loan Documents by any trustee or receiver of Borrower
or Lender, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
(e) any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any
term or provision of the Loan Documents or Borrower's incapacity or lack of
authority to enter into the Loan Documents;
(f) any release, compromise, settlement or discharge with respect to
all or any portion of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents;
(g) any acceptance of additional or substituted collateral for payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any release or subordination of any collateral
held at any time by Lender as security for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or
(h) any resort to Guarantor for payment of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not Lender shall have resorted to any
collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or shall have proceeded
to pursue or exhaust its remedies against Borrower (or any other Person)
primarily or secondarily liable for the Guaranteed Obligations.
No exercise, delay in exercise or non-exercise by Lender of any right hereby
given it, no dealing by Lender with Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, no
change, impairment or suspension
S-2
of any right or remedy of Lender, and no act or thing which, but for this
provision, could act as a release or exoneration of the liabilities of Guarantor
hereunder, shall in any way affect, decrease, diminish or impair any of the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor or any other Person any
recourse or defense against Lender.
Section 5. Waiver. Guarantor unconditionally waives the following:
(a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any of the
matters referred to in Section 4 hereof;
(b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or
otherwise to preserve intact any rights which Lender may have against Guarantor
under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any demand, proof or notice
of non-payment of any of the principal of, interest on or other amounts payable
under the Loan Documents, and notice of any failure on the part of Borrower to
perform and comply with any covenant, agreement, term or condition of the Loan
Documents;
(c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right,
power or remedy conferred upon Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise;
(d) any requirement that Lender act with diligence in enforcing its
rights under the Loan Documents or this Guaranty;
(e) any right to require Lender to proceed against or exhaust its
recourse against Borrower or any security or collateral held by Lender, if any,
at any time for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to pursue any other
remedy in its power before being entitled to payment from Guarantor under this
Guaranty or before proceeding against Guarantor;
(f) any failure by Lender to file or enforce a claim against the
estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of
Borrower or any other Person;
(g) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender which
destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right
of Guarantor (after payment of the Guaranteed Obligations) to proceed against
Borrower for reimbursement, or both;
(h) any defense based upon any taking, modification or release of any
collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or any failure to perfect any
security interest in, or the taking of, or failure to take any other action with
respect to, any collateral securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, if
any;
(i) any defense based upon the addition, substitution or release, in
whole or in part, of any Person(s), including, without limitation, another
guarantor, primarily or secondarily liable for or in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
(j) any rights or defenses based upon an offset by Guarantor against
any obligation now or hereafter owed to Guarantor by Borrower; and
S-3
(k) all other notices which may or might be lawfully waived by
Guarantor;
it being the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal,
to the extent set forth in this Guaranty, until the payment and performance in
full of the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing
which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor
other than the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. No
delay by Lender in exercising any rights and/or powers hereunder or in taking
any action to enforce Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver as to such rights or powers or in any manner prejudice any
and all of Lender's rights and powers hereunder against Guarantor. The intention
of Guarantor under this Guaranty is that, so long as any of the Guaranteed
Obligations remains unsatisfied, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall
not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such
performance. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not
be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty,
which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
Section 6. Election of Remedies. This Guaranty may be enforced from
time to time, as often as occasion therefor may arise, and without any
requirement that Lender must first pursue or exhaust any remedies available to
it against Borrower under the Loan Documents or against any other Person or
resort to any collateral at any time held by it for performance of the
Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or any other source or means of obtaining
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 7. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor
hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:
(a) Due Organization; Qualification. Guarantor is qualified to
transact business and is in good standing in the State in which it is organized
and in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification and/or standing is
necessary to the conduct of its business and where the failure to be so
qualified would adversely affect the validity of, the enforceability of, or the
ability of Guarantor to perform the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b) Power and Authority. Guarantor has the requisite power and
authority (i) to own its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as contemplated to be conducted in connection with the performance
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) to execute and deliver this Guaranty and

and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in

of the Collateral or other assets of Guarantor is subject; or
(iii) does or will require the consent or approval of any creditor of

disclosed in writing, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of
Guarantor, written threat of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, at
law or in equity, before any court, board, body or official of any Governmental
Authority or arbitrator which, if decided adversely to Guarantor, would have, or
may reasonably be expected to materially interfere with Guarantor's ability to
perform its obligations under this Guaranty.
(g) Solvency. Guarantor is not insolvent and will not be rendered
insolvent by the transaction contemplated by this Guaranty and after giving
effect to such transaction, Guarantor will not be left with an unreasonably
small amount of capital with which to engage in its business or undertakings,
nor will Guarantor have incurred, have intended to incur, or believe that it has
incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Guarantor
did not receive less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for
incurrence of the Guaranteed Obligations. There (i) is no contemplated, pending
or, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, threatened bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership, insolvency or like proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary,
affecting Guarantor and (ii) has been no assertion or exercise of jurisdiction
over Guarantor by any court empowered to exercise bankruptcy powers.
(h) No Contractual Defaults. There are no material defaults by
Guarantor or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, by any other Person under any
contract to which Guarantor is a party other than defaults which do not permit
the non-defaulting party to terminate the contract and which do not have, and
are not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on
S-5
Guarantor. Neither Guarantor nor, to the knowledge of Guarantor, any other
Person, has received notice or has any knowledge of any existing circumstances
in respect of which it could receive any notice of default or breach in respect
of any contracts.
(i) Representations True and Correct. The representations and
warranties made by Guarantor in this Guaranty are true, complete and correct as
of the Initial Closing Date and do not contain any untrue statement of material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(j) ERISA. Guarantor is in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable provisions of ERISA and has not incurred any liability to the
PBGC under Title IV of ERISA. None of the assets of Guarantor constitute plan
assets (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101)
of any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA.
(k) Financial Information. The financial projections relating to
Guarantor and delivered to the Lender on or prior to the date hereof, if any,
were prepared on the basis of assumptions believed by Guarantor, in good faith
at the time of preparation, to be reasonable and Guarantor is not aware of any
fact or information that would lead it to believe that such assumptions are
incorrect or misleading in any material respect; provided, however, that no
representation or warranty is made that any result set forth in such financial
projections shall be achieved. The financial statements of Guarantor which have
been furnished to the Lender are complete and accurate in all material respects
and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor, as of its date, applied
on a consistent basis, and since the date of the most recent of such financial
statements no event has occurred which would have, or may reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on Guarantor, and there has not been any
material transaction entered into by Guarantor other than transactions related
to the business of owning, managing and operating real estate. Guarantor has no
material contingent obligations which are not otherwise disclosed in its most
recent financial statements.
(1) Accuracy of Information. No information, statement or report
furnished in writing to the Lender by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document or in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby contains any material misstatement
of fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(m) No Conflicts of Interest. To the best knowledge of Guarantor, no
member, officer, agent or employee of the Lender has been or is in any manner
interested, directly or indirectly, in that Person's own name, or in the name of
any other Person, in the Guaranty, the Loan Documents, or any Mortgaged
Property, in any contract for property or materials to be furnished or used in
connection with such Mortgaged Property or in any aspect of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.
S-6
(n) Governmental Approvals. To the best of Guarantor's knowledge, no
Governmental Approval not already obtained or made is required for the execution
and delivery of this Guaranty or the performance of the terms and provisions
hereof by Guarantor.
(o) Governmental Orders. Guarantor is not presently under any cease or
desist order or other orders of a similar nature, temporary or permanent, of any
Governmental Authority which would have the effect of preventing or hindering
performance of its duties hereunder, nor are there any proceedings presently in
progress or to its knowledge contemplated which would, if successful, lead to
the issuance of any such order.
(p) No Reliance. Guarantor acknowledges, represents and warrants that
it understands the nature and structure of the transactions contemplated by this
Guaranty and the other Loan Documents; that it is familiar with the provisions
of all of the documents and instruments relating to such transactions; that it
understands the risks inherent in such transactions, including the risk of loss
of all or any of the Mortgaged Properties; and that it has not relied on the
Lender or Xxxxxx Xxx for any guidance or expertise in analyzing the financial or
other consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document or otherwise relied on the Lender or Xxxxxx Mae in any
manner in connection with interpreting, entering into or otherwise in connection
with this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any of the matters contemplated
hereby or thereby.
(q) Compliance with Applicable Law. Guarantor is in compliance with

not reasonably expected to cause, a Material Adverse Effect on Guarantor.
(r) Contracts with Affiliates. Except as set forth on Schedule 1

up to the lesser of (i) the amount of such indebtedness or (ii) the amount of
the Guaranteed Obligations. In all such cases the Person or Persons authorized
to pay such claims shall pay to Lender the full amount thereof to the full
extent necessary to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, and Guarantor hereby assigns

would otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except to the

receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings; or

Borrower or the estate of Borrower in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of
any present or future provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from

required to refund, or voluntarily refunds, any payment received from Borrower

aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent
conveyance, impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds under the
bankruptcy laws or for any similar reason, including, without limitation, any
judgment, order or decree of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over Lender or any of its property, or any settlement or compromise
of any claim effected by Lender with Borrower or other claimant (a "Rescinded
Payment"), then Guarantor's liability to Lender shall continue in full force and
effect, or Guarantor's liability to Lender shall be reinstated, as the case may
be, with the same effect and to the same extent as if the Rescinded Payment had
not been received by Lender, notwithstanding the cancellation or termination of
any Note or any of the other Loan Documents. In addition, Guarantor shall pay,
or reimburse Lender for, all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees,
court costs and related disbursements) incurred by Lender in the defense of any
claim that a payment received by Lender in respect of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations from Guarantor must be refunded. The provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and any satisfaction and
discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or
state law.
Section 17. Waiver. Neither this Guaranty nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing
signed by Lender and Guarantor expressly referring to this Guaranty and to the
provisions so changed or limited. No such waiver shall extend to or affect any
obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No
course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any
right under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise by
prejudice thereto.
