balance of the Note pertaining to such Property (based on the Allocated Loan
Amount therefore) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net

Code and will not adversely affect the status of the Note as

interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable

(vi) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Rating
Confirmation as to the Defeasance Event;

and expenses associated with the release of the lien of the Mortgages, including
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no
repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall
cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of
the lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay the Scheduled
Defeasance Payments shall be paid to Borrower monthly after Borrower causes the
Scheduled Defeasance Payments to be made to Lender. Borrower shall cause the
Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter an
agreement with Borrower and Lender, satisfactory to Lender in its sole
discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and
distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The
Borrower or Successor Borrower, as applicable, shall be the owner of the
Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance

and which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower
may, at Borrower's option, be an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating
Agencies shall require otherwise. Borrower shall transfer and assign all
obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the

-27-
without limitation, the Insurance Policies required pursuant to SECTION 6.1.
Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company

bond.

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

affect the use or operation of such Property in any material manner, (ii)
initiate, join in or consent to any private restrictive covenant, zoning
ordinance or amendment thereto, or other public or private restrictions,
materially limiting or materially adversely affecting the uses which may be made
of any Property or any material part thereof, (iii) enter into, modify or amend
any Lease for space located on any Property unless such Lease (or such
modification or amendment thereof) is consistent with normal and prudent
business practices pertaining to comparable leases of space in properties which

Borrower's usual business practices, and unless the rent payable thereunder and
the other terms of such Lease (or such modification or amendment) are consistent

-35-
5.2.2. Further Encumbrance or Sale. Except as otherwise set
forth in this Section 5.2, Borrower shall not further encumber, sell, transfer
or convey or permit to be further encumbered, sold, transferred or conveyed any
Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein) or any direct or indirect
interest in Borrower (or in any of Borrower's members) which would violate the
ownership covenants set forth in Section 5.1.12 hereof. Borrower shall not
create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist any lien on any portion of any
Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein) or legal or beneficial
ownership interest in Borrower (or in any of Borrower's members), subject to
Borrower's right to contest such liens as provided herein. Except as otherwise
expressly provided to the contrary in the Loan Documents, no part of the
Properties nor any interest of any nature whatsoever therein (whether legal or
beneficial or whether held directly or indirectly), nor any interest of any
nature whatsoever in Borrower (whether partnership, stock, equity, beneficial,
profit, loss or otherwise or whether held directly or indirectly), shall in any
manner be further encumbered, sold, transferred, assigned or conveyed without
the prior consent of Lender (other than indirect transfers of partnership,
stock, equity or beneficial interests which would not violate the ownership
covenants set forth in Section 5.1.12 hereof), which consent in any and all
circumstances may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. The
provisions of the foregoing sentence of this subsection shall apply to each and
every such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance,
regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to, or waived by its action or
inaction its rights hereunder with respect to, any such previous further
encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, and irrespective of
whether such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance is
voluntary, by reason of operation of law or is otherwise made. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) Borrower shall have the right to sell obsolete equipment or
the individual manager's home located at a particular Property, provided that
any such equipment or individual manager's home which is necessary for the
continued operation and management of the Property shall be replaced by
equipment or a home, as the case may be, of adequate quality, (ii) Borrower may
grant utility easements so long as the granting of such easement(s) is to an
unaffiliated third party for the sole purpose of allowing or otherwise providing
for utility service to the Property and does not materially impair its ability
to operate the property or encroach upon any improvements on the Property (iii)
ownership interests in ARC MEZZ may be transferred provided that, following such
transfer, ARC shall retain not less than a 51% ownership interest in ARC MEZZ
and shall be the sole managing member having the right to control day to day and
general management decisions of such entity, (iv) the "Class A" membership
interests in ARC may be transferred to a Qualified Transferee or to ARC IV or an
Affiliate of ARC IV, and (v) GMAC or a Qualified Transferee may become the
managing member of ARC and the "Class B" membership interests in ARC may be
transferred to GMAC or a Qualified Transferee which is the holder of the "Class
A" membership interests, provided that GMAC or such Qualified Transferee shall
then be the managing member of ARC as permitted herein.
5.2.3. Governing Documents. Except at the request of Lender,
Borrower shall not modify or amend any provision of its organizational documents
which relates to Borrower's Single-Purpose nature, nor modify or amend in any
material manner any other provision of its organizational documents.

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

if such assets do not enhance or improve the value of the Property, or (d)
acquire any assets having a value in excess of $50,000, except for capital
improvements contained in the Capital Improvement Plans approved by Lender or
otherwise permitted under this Agreement and manufactured home community
properties financed with Loans made under this Agreement or under a separate
facility extended by Lender as permitted hereunder.
5.2.6. Indebtedness. Borrower shall not incur, either
directly or as a guarantor, any liability (whether recourse or non-recourse) for
the payment of any indebtedness other than (i) the Debt, (ii) trade payables
incurred in the ordinary course of operating Borrower's business, provided that
each such amount shall be paid to trade creditors within sixty (60) days
following the date on which each such amount was incurred unless validly
contested and (iii) current liabilities for taxes and assessments incurred or
arising in the ordinary course of business.
5.2.7. Assignment. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement
by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, or the moneys to be advanced and
disbursed hereunder.
5.2.8. ERISA. Borrower shall not take any action which would
cause it to become an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, or a "governmental plan" as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or a
"plan" as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, or its
assets to become "plan assets" as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
5.2.9. Waste. Borrower shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any material waste with respect to any Property. The failure of
Borrower to pay any Taxes or any installment thereof, or any Insurance Premiums
payable with respect to any of the Insurance Policies covering the Properties or
any portion thereof, or to use and apply the Rents strictly in accordance with
the provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be deemed for all purposes to
constitute waste, regardless of whether the same would, in the absence of this
provision, otherwise constitute waste under applicable law.
5.2.10. Property Management. Borrower shall not modify,
amend, terminate or enter into any management or operating agreement with
respect to any Property, or waive any material provisions of any such management
operating agreement.
5.2.11. Distributions. Borrower shall not declare or make
any distribution of any property, cash or rights, or purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire for value any of its membership interests now or hereafter
outstanding, or advance funds to the holder of any of its membership interests
now or hereafter outstanding; provided, however, that Borrower shall be
permitted to distribute funds in the Operating Account in excess of amounts
required for Borrower to pay its liabilities and obligations on a current basis
and amounts deposited in the Investor Account established under the Cash
Management Agreement in accordance with the
-37-
terms of such agreement shall be deemed indirectly distributed to ARC, provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The provisions of the
operating agreement of Borrower restricting affiliate payments and the payment
of salaries and compensation shall not be amended or modified without the
consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event
shall Borrower have the right to declare or make any distribution of any
property, cash or rights, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any
of its membership interests now or hereafter outstanding, or advance funds to
the holder of any of its membership interests now or hereafter outstanding if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
5.2.12. Affiliate Transactions. Borrower shall not enter
into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of
the partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms
no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a
comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party. Borrower
shall not enter into leases for more than 20% of its home pads (in the
aggregate) with Affiliates of Borrower without the prior written consent of
Lender. Borrower shall cause all leases relating to leasing any portion of the
Property to any Affiliate of Borrower to be entered into on the then current
market terms.
ARTICLE VI.
INSURANCE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
SECTION 6.1. Insurance Coverage. Borrower will insure the
Properties against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts and with such
limits as Lender may from time to time reasonably require, and in any event will
continuously maintain with respect to each of the Properties, without cost to
Lender, the insurance described in EXHIBIT U of this Agreement (collectively,
the "INSURANCE POLICIES"). All Insurance Policies shall be in form, issued by
companies, in amounts and with deductibles satisfactory to Lender from time to
time and shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan without cost to
Lender. An insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance
company (a) has a Standard & Poor's rating of "AA" or better or Xxxxx'x Aa2 or
better; (b) is licensed in the State in which the insured Property is located;
(c) has actively been in business for at least five (5) years; (d) if it is a
mutual company, is a nonassessable company; and (e) does not provide insurance
on any one building in excess of ten (10%) percent of its policyholders' surplus
(including capital). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby approves
American Modern Lloyd's as a satisfactory insurance company provided American
Modern Lloyd's shall continue to maintain a Best's rating of "AVIII" or better
and a Standard & Poor's rating of "A" or better. All Insurance Policies insuring
against casualty and business interruption and other appropriate policies shall
include non-contributing mortgagee endorsements in favor of Lender with loss
payable to Lender, as well as standard waiver of subrogation endorsements, and
shall provide that the coverage shall not be terminated or modified, nor a risk
changed without thirty (30) days' advance written notice to Lender. A verified
copy of each Insurance Policy shall be delivered to Lender. If a blanket policy
is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with an
endorsement indicating that Lender, and its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors
and assigns are additional insureds under such policy in the designated amount.
If any portion of the insured
-38-
risks are reinsured, the reinsurance policies shall contain "cut-through"
endorsements in form satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall pay the premiums for
the Insurance Policies (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS") as the same become due and
payable. Borrower will deliver all Insurance Policies to Lender and, in case of
Insurance Policies about to expire, Borrower will deliver renewal or replacement
policies to Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of
expiration. The foregoing requirements of this Section shall apply to any
separate policies of insurance taken out by Borrower concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. If any Insurance
Policy or part thereof shall expire or be withdrawn or become void by reason of
the failure or impairment of the capital of any company in which the insurance
shall be carried, or if at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence
that all insurance required hereunder is in force and effect or if the Borrower
fails to obtain the insurance as required in EXHIBIT U and/or as is otherwise
set forth herein, Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right without
prior notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to
protect the interest of Lender in the Properties, including without limitation,
the obtaining of such insurance coverage as set forth herein, and all expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with such action or by Lender in obtaining such
insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon
demand together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Borrower shall at all
times comply with and shall cause the Properties, and the use, occupancy,
operation, maintenance, alteration, repair and restoration thereof to comply
with the terms, conditions, stipulations and requirements of the Insurance
Policies. If any building improvement on any Property, or any portion thereof,
is located in a Federally designated flood hazard area other than Zone C or Zone
X, in addition to the other Insurance Policies required under this paragraph, a
flood insurance policy shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender with respect
thereto. If no portion of a Property is located in a Federally designated
"special flood hazard area" such fact shall be substantiated by a certificate in
form satisfactory to Lender from a licensed surveyor, appraiser or professional
engineer or other qualified individual.
6.1.1. Damage or Destruction. If any Property shall be
damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other property hazard or
casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender and one hundred
(100%) percent of the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender or
Borrower as a result of such damage or destruction after deduction of reasonable
costs and the expenses, if any, in collecting the same, shall be applied in
reduction of the outstanding Principal Balance under the Note pertaining to the
Damaged Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if a
particular Property (a "DAMAGED PROPERTY") shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Lender shall, in accordance with
the provisions of this Section hereinafter set forth, make the net amount of all
insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement as a result of such damage or destruction after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same (hereinafter
referred to as the "NET PROCEEDS") available for the repair and restoration of
the Damaged Property, provided that (i) no default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower shall commence the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property, as nearly as possible to the condition
the Damaged Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty,
with such alterations as may be approved by Lender, as soon as reasonably
practicable, and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion,
(iii) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be
incurred with respect to the Damaged Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such fire or other casualty will be covered out of the Net Proceeds or by
-39-
Borrower out-of-pocket or with the proceeds, if any, of business interruption or
rental interruption insurance, (iv) Lender shall be satisfied that, within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following
the completion of such repair and restoration of the Damaged Property, the gross
cash flow and the net cash flow of the Damaged Property will be restored to a
level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the
Damaged Property, (v) Lender shall be satisfied that the repair and restoration
of the Damaged Property will be completed on or before the earlier to occur of
(w) ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, or (x) the date on which the
business interruption insurance covered by such Borrower shall expire, (vi)
Lender shall be satisfied that all of the terms, covenants and provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will continue to be complied with
during and subsequent to the completion of such repair and restoration and (vii)
Borrower and ARC IV shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender pursuant to the provisions of which
Borrower and ARC IV shall jointly and severally guaranty to Lender the lien-free
completion of the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property in accordance
with the provisions of this paragraph. The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender
in an interest-bearing account, and until disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, shall constitute additional security for the
payment of the Debt. The Net Proceeds together with interest earned thereon,
shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time
during the course of the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property, upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender (which evidence shall in each
instance and to the full extent required by Lender include receipted bills,
invoices, lien waivers and a continuation and date down of title to the Damaged
Property in form satisfactory to Lender and issued by the title company insuring
the lien of the Mortgage encumbering such Property or another title company
satisfactory to Lender) that (i) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the repair and restoration of the
Damaged Property have been paid for in full, and (ii) there exist no notice of
pendency, stop order, notice of intention to file mechanic's or materialman's
lien, mechanic's or materialman's lien or other lien or encumbrance of any
nature whatsoever on the Damaged Property arising out of the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property which have not either been fully bonded to
the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully
insured over to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the
lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Damaged Property. The repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property shall be done and completed by Borrower in
an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable
governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all
applicable Environmental Requirements), and all plans and specifications
required in connection with the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property
shall be subject to review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by the
Consultant. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days following a
request and submissions of plans and specifications for approval, such plans and
specification shall be deemed approved by Lender. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of such plan and specifications and
all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
repair and restoration of the Damaged Property. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the repair and restoration of the
Damaged Property, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged,
shall be identified to Lender and Consultant, if any. All costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the
repair and restoration of the Damaged
-40-
Property including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and reasonable
fees of the Consultant, shall be paid by Borrower. In no event shall Lender be
obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal
to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of
the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property, as certified by the
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY RETAINAGE" as used
in this paragraph shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually
incurred for work in place as part of the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property, as certified by the Consultant. The Casualty Retainage shall in no
event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein above set forth in
this paragraph, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the making of the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every thirty (30)
days. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Consultant
certifies to Lender that the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property have
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property have been paid in full or will be paid in
full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release
the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the repair and restoration of the
Damaged Property as of the date upon which the Consultant certifies to Lender
that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed
all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of
such contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, and such
contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers such lien waivers and evidence
of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Damaged Property. If required
by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be
approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, if the Net
Proceeds shall be less than $250,000 and if the costs of completing the repair
and restoration of the Damaged Property shall be less than $250,000, the Net
Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that no
default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Loan Documents,
and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence
and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the repair and restoration of
the Damaged Property. If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance
thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the
balance of the costs which will be incurred in connection with the completion of
the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property, Borrower shall deposit the
deficiency (hereinafter referred to as the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY") with
Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made, which
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing
account, shall be disbursed together with interest earned thereon, for costs
actually incurred in connection with the repair and restoration of the Damaged
Property on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute
additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply the undisbursed balance of any
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment
of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender shall deem to be
-41-
appropriate in its discretion. The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with
interest thereon, after the Consultant certifies to Lender that the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property have been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory
to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the repair and restoration
have been paid in full, shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding
Principal Balance of the Note with respect to such Damaged Property (based on
the Allocated Loan Amount, with any excess being applied to the Principal
Balance). All costs of the repair and restoration of the Damaged Property in
excess of the Net Proceeds shall be paid for by Borrower. All insurance proceeds
received by Lender and not required to be disbursed for the repair and
restoration of the Damaged Property pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
herein above set forth may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment
of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion
of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for
such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. If Lender shall
receive and retain insurance proceeds, the lien of the Mortgage with respect to
such Damaged Property shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and
retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
SECTION 6.2. Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking by any
public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, Borrower
shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its
payment in the Note, this Agreement and the Mortgages and the Debt shall not be
reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received
and applied by Lender to the discharge of the Debt. Except as hereinafter
specifically provided to the contrary in this paragraph, if all or any portion
of a Property is taken by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent
domain or otherwise, one hundred (100%) percent of the aggregate award or
payment received by Lender or Borrower as a result of such taking after
deduction of reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same shall
be applied in reduction of the portion of the outstanding Principal Balance
under the Note which pertains to such Property. If any Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or
payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on
the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award or
payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt, whichever is less.
Borrower shall file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such award or
payment in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected
and paid over to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
Lender, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any
such award or payment and, subsequent to the occurrence of a default beyond the
expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, if any, under any of the Loan
Documents and during the continuance thereof, to file and prosecute such claim
or claims. Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be
necessary in any event, Borrower shall, upon demand of Lender, make, execute and
deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the purpose
of assigning any such award or payment to Lender, free and clear of any
encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. If less than all of a particular
Property (the "TAKEN PROPERTY") is taken by any public or quasi-public authority
through eminent domain or otherwise, Lender shall, in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph hereinafter set forth, make the portion of the
aggregate award or payment received by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement as a result of such taking which is specifically awarded for the
-42-
repair and restoration of the portion of the Taken Property not taken or, in the
absence of any such specific award, is in the opinion of Lender reasonably
necessary to pay for the costs which will be incurred in connection with the
repair and restoration of the portion of the Taken Property not taken after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same
(hereinafter referred to as the "NET RESTORATION AWARD") available for the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property, provided that (i) no default shall
have occurred and shall be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower
shall commence the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, as nearly as
possible to the condition the Taken Property was in immediately prior to such
taking, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender, as soon as
reasonably practicable and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion, (iii) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which
will be incurred with respect to the Taken Property as a result of the
occurrence of any such taking will be covered out of the Net Restoration Award
or by Borrower out-of-pocket, (iv) Lender shall be of the opinion that it is
economically feasible to repair and restore the Taken Property, (v) Lender shall
be satisfied that within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days following completion of the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property, the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Taken Property
will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating
expenses of the Taken Property, (vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property will be completed on or before the earlier
to occur of (w) ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, or (x) the date on
which the business interruption insurance carried by such Borrower shall expire,
(vii) Lender shall be satisfied that all of the terms, covenants and provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will continue to be complied with
during and subsequent to the completion of such repair and restoration and
(viii) Borrower and ARC IV shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion
guaranty pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and ARC IV shall jointly
and severally guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion of the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph,
Lender shall not be obligated to make the Net Restoration Award available for
the repair and restoration of the Taken Property in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph if more than 30% of the Property (as measured by
area) is taken. The Net Restoration Award shall be held by Lender in an interest
bearing account, and until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. The
Net Restoration Award, together with interest thereon, shall be disbursed by
Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of
the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Lender (which evidence shall in each instance and to the full
extent required by Lender include receipted bills, invoices, lien waivers and a
continuation and date down of title to the Taken Property in form satisfactory
to Lender and issued by the title company insuring the lien of the Mortgage
pertaining to such Property or another title company satisfactory to Lender)
that (i) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the
extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in
connection with the repair and restoration of the Taken Property have been paid
for in full, and (ii) there exist no notice of pendency, stop order, notice of
intention to file mechanic's or materialman's lien, mechanic's or materialman's
lien or other lien or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on the Taken Property
arising out of the repair and restoration of the Taken Property which have not
either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record
or in the alternative otherwise fully insured over to the satisfaction of Lender
by the title company
-43-
insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Taken Property. The repair and
restoration of the Taken Property shall be done and completed by Borrower in an
expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable
governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all
applicable Environmental Requirements), and all plans and specifications
required in connection with the repair and restoration of the Taken Property
shall be subject to review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by the
Consultant. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days following a
request and submission of plans and specifications for approval, such plans and
specifications shall be deemed approved by Lender. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of such plans and specifications and
all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the repair and restoration of the
Taken Property, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged,
shall be identified to Lender and Consultant, if any. All costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Restoration Award available
for the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, including, without
limitation, appraisal fees, reasonable counsel fees and reasonable fees of the
Consultant shall be paid by Borrower. In no event shall Lender be obligated to
make disbursements of the Net Restoration Award in excess of an amount equal to
the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property, as certified by the Consultant, minus the
Condemnation Retainage. The term "CONDEMNATION RETAINAGE" as used in this
paragraph shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for
work in place as part of the repair and restoration of the Taken Property, as
certified by the Consultant. The Condemnation Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein-above set forth in this
paragraph, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the making of the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Restoration Award more frequently than once every
fifteen (15) days. The Condemnation Retainage shall not be released until the
Consultant certifies that the repair and restoration of the Taken Property have
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property have been paid in full or will be paid in full
out of the Condemnation Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release
the portion of the Condemnation Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the repair and restoration
of the Taken Property as of the date upon which the Consultant certifies to
Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of such contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, and
such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers such lien waivers and
evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
insuring the lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Taken Property. If required by
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Condemnation Retainage shall be
approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
The excess, if any, of the Net Restoration Award after the repair and
restoration of the Taken Property as nearly as possible to their former
condition and the payment in full of all costs incurred in connection therewith
shall be applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
-44-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, if the Net
Restoration Award shall be less than $250,000 and if the costs of completing the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property shall be less than $250,000, the
Net Restoration Award will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt,
provided that no default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the
Loan Documents, and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to
expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
repair and restoration of the Taken Property. If at any time the Net Restoration
Award, or the undisbursed balance thereof, shall not, in the opinion of Lender,
be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which will be incurred in
connection with the completion of the repair and restoration of the Taken
Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (hereinafter referred to as the
"NET AWARD DEFICIENCY") with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net
Restoration Award shall be made, which Net Award Deficiency deposit shall be
held by Lender in an interest bearing special account, shall be disbursed,
together with interest thereon, for costs actually incurred in connection with
the repair and restoration of the Taken Property on the same conditions
applicable to the disbursement of the Net Restoration Award, and shall until so
disbursed pursuant to this paragraph constitute additional security for the
payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall
have the right to apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Award Deficiency
deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt whether or
not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall
deem to be appropriate in its discretion. The excess, if any, of any Net Award
Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, remaining after the
Consultant certifies to Lender that the repair and restoration of the Taken
Property have been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all
costs incurred in connection with the repair and restoration have been paid in
full, shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding Principal Balance of
the Note pertaining to the Taken Property (based on the allocated Loan Amount,
with any excess being applied to the Principal Balance All costs of the repair
and restoration of the Taken Property in excess of the Net Restoration Award
shall be paid for by Borrower.
ARTICLE VII.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
SECTION 7.1. The Management Agreement. At all times during the
term of the Loan, the Properties shall be managed by ARC Management Services,
Inc. or another manager approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
("PROPERTY MANAGER") pursuant to the Management Agreement. Borrower shall (i)
diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and
(ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to Borrower of any default by Borrower
beyond any applicable cure period in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of
Borrower to be performed and observed. If Borrower shall default in the
performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then,
without limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its
obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the
right,
-45-
but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may
be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed.
Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not (a) consent to
the assignment by Property Manager of its interest under the Management
Agreement, (b) terminate, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the
Management Agreement, (c) change, replace or terminate Property Manager as the
manager of the Properties or (d) enter into a new management agreement with
respect to the Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event GMAC or a
Qualified Transferee shall become the managing member of ARC, Borrower may
replace ARC Management Services, Inc. with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
Management Agreement approved by Lender and provided that such Qualified Manager
shall execute and deliver to Lender an Assignment of Management Agreement and
Subordination of Management Fee in substantially the form delivered to Lender on
the Closing Date with such changes as shall be reasonably approved by Lender.
SECTION 7.2. SUBORDINATION OF FEES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY
MANAGER. Borrower agrees that all unpaid management fees shall be expressly
subordinate to the Debt and Property Manager shall not be entitled to receive
any property management fees, asset management fees or any other compensation or
reimbursements payable by Borrower with respect to any period of time during
which an Event of Default shall be continuing, it being agreed that Lender shall
be entitled to recover from Borrower, any and all property management fees,
asset management fees or any other compensation or reimbursements paid by
Borrower to Property Manager or to any Affiliate of Borrower during such period
of time. Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to replace Property
Manager with a Person chosen by Lender at any time following the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events: (i) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred, and/or (ii) if Property Manager has engaged in gross negligence, fraud
or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE VIII.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 8.1. Environmental Provisions. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
to Lender that to the best of Borrower's knowledge (i) except for standard
cleaning products and standard lawn care products used in connection with the
landscaping of any Property and petroleum products used in connection with the
operation of equipment at the Properties, no Hazardous Material is currently
located at, on, in, under or about any Property, except as specifically set
forth in the Environmental Reports, (ii) no Hazardous Material is currently
located at, in, on, under or about any Property in a manner which violates any
Environmental Requirement, or which requires cleanup or corrective action of any
kind under any Environmental Requirement, (iii) no releasing, emitting,
discharging, leaching, dumping or disposing of any Hazardous Material from any
Property onto or into any other property or from any other property onto or into
any Property has occurred or is occurring in violation of any Environmental
Requirement, (iv) no notice of violation, lien, complaint, suit, order or other
notice with respect to any Property is presently outstanding under any
Environmental Requirement, and (v) each Property and the operation thereof are
in compliance with all Environmental Requirements. Borrower shall comply, and
shall use its best efforts to cause all
-46-
tenants or other occupants of the Properties to comply, in all respects with all
Environmental Requirements, and will not generate, store, handle, process,
dispose of or otherwise use, and will not permit any tenant or other occupant of
any Property to generate, store, handle, process, dispose of or otherwise use,
Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under or about any Property in a manner that
could lead or potentially lead to the imposition on Borrower, Lender or any
Property of any liability or lien of any nature whatsoever under any
Environmental Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in the event of
any spill or other release of any Hazardous Material at, in, on, under or about
any Property which is required to be reported to a Governmental Authority under
any Environmental Requirement, will promptly forward Lender copies of any
notices received by Borrower relating to alleged violations of any Environmental
Requirement and will promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against
Lender, any Borrower or any Property relating to any Environmental Requirement.
If at any time it is determined that the operation or use of any Property
violates any applicable Environmental Requirement or that there are Hazardous
Materials located at, in, on, under or about any Property which, under any
Environmental Requirement, require special handling in collection, storage,
treatment or disposal, or any other form of cleanup or corrective action,
Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice thereof from any
Governmental Authority or from Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be
required by any such Governmental Authority or under applicable Environmental
Requirements), take, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, such actions as may be
necessary to fully comply in all respects with all Environmental Requirements;
provided, however, that if such compliance cannot reasonably be completed within
such sixty (60) day period, Borrower shall commence such necessary action within
such sixty (60) day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously
proceed to fully comply in all respects and in a timely fashion with all
Environmental Requirements. If Borrower fails to timely take, or to diligently
and expeditiously proceed to complete in a timely fashion, any such action,
Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make advances or payments
towards the performance or satisfaction of the same, but shall in no event be
under any obligation to do so. All sums so advanced or paid by Lender
(including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses,
investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, and fines or other penalty
payments) and all sums advanced or paid in connection with any judicial or
administrative investigation or proceeding relating thereto, will immediately,
upon demand, become due and payable from Borrower and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date any such sums are so advanced or paid by Lender until
the date any such sums are repaid by Borrower to Lender. Borrower will execute
and deliver, promptly upon request, such instruments as Lender may deem useful
or necessary to permit Lender to take any such action, and such additional
notes, as Lender may require to secure all sums so advanced or paid by Lender.
If a lien is filed against any Property by any Governmental Authority resulting
from the need to expend or the actual expending of monies arising from an action
or omission, whether intentional or unintentional, of Borrower or for which
Borrower is responsible, resulting in the releasing, spilling, leaking,
leaching, pumping, emitting, pouring, emptying or dumping of any Hazardous
Material into the waters or onto land located within or without the State in
which any Property is located, then Borrower will, within thirty (30) days from
the date that Borrower is first given notice that such lien has been placed
against such Property (or within such shorter period of time as may be specified
by Lender if such Governmental Authority has commenced steps to cause such
Property to be sold pursuant to such lien) either (a) pay the claim and remove
the lien, or (b) furnish a cash deposit, bond, or such other security with
respect thereto as is satisfactory in all respects to Lender and is
-47-
sufficient to effect a complete discharge of such lien on such Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any material item, Borrower, at
its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, promptly
initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity or
enforceability, in whole or in part, of any Environmental Requirement, provided
that (i) Borrower shall have given prior notice of such contest to Lender, (ii)
no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, the Mortgages,
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iii) such proceeding shall
suspend the obligation of Borrower to comply with any such Environmental
Requirement, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower, or the
Properties, are subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v)
failure to immediately comply with any such law, order, ordinance, rule or
regulation will not invalidate or vitiate any Insurance Policies, in whole or in
part, and will not in the opinion of Lender constitute a present danger to the
Properties or any portion thereof, or to the individuals using and entering upon
the Properties, (vi) neither the Properties nor any part thereof nor any
interest therein will in the opinion of Lender be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, confiscated, terminated, canceled or lost, (vii) delay in the
compliance with any Environmental Requirement will not, in the opinion of
Lender, result in a worsening or deterioration in the condition requiring
remediation, (viii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender in escrow all sums
necessary to insure the payment by Borrower of all costs of compliance, fines
and penalties, together with interest thereon, as may be incurred by Borrower in
the event of a determination in such proceeding adverse to Borrower, and (ix)
neither Borrower nor Lender will in the opinion of Lender be subject to any
criminal or civil liability as the result of such contestment by Borrower.
Lender may, at its option, at intervals of not more frequently than once a year,
or more frequently if Lender reasonably believes that a Hazardous Material or
other environmental condition violates or threatens to violate any Environmental
Requirement applicable to a Property, cause an environmental audit of such
Property to be conducted to confirm Borrower's compliance with the provisions of
this paragraph in respect of such Property, and Borrower shall cooperate in all
reasonable ways with Lender in connection with any such audit. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit. If any of the
Mortgages is foreclosed, or if any Property is sold pursuant to the provisions
of the Mortgages, or if Borrower tenders a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or sale, Borrower shall deliver such Properties to the purchaser at
foreclosure or sale or to Lender, its nominee, or wholly owned subsidiary, as
the case may be, in a condition that complies in all respects with all
Environmental Requirements. Borrower will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Lender, its employees, agents, officers, and directors, from and against any and
all claims, demands, penalties, causes of action, fines, liabilities,
settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or otherwise (including, without
limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and
laboratory fees and expenses, court costs, and litigation expenses) arising out
of, or in any way related to, (i) any breach by Borrower of any of the
provisions of this Section, (ii) the presence, disposal, spillage, discharge,
emission, leakage, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Material
which is at, in, on, under, about, from or affecting any Property, including,
without limitation, any damage or injury resulting from any such Hazardous
Material to or affecting any Property or the soil, water, air, vegetation,
buildings, personal property, individuals or animals located on any Property or
on any other property or otherwise, (iii) any personal injury (including
wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related
to any such Hazardous
-48-
Material, (iv) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or order
or directive of or by any Governmental Authority relating to such Hazardous
Material, or (v) any violation of any Environmental Requirement. The obligations
and liabilities of Borrower under this Section shall survive and continue in
full force and effect and shall not be terminated, discharged or released, in
whole or in part, irrespective of whether the Debt has been paid in full and
irrespective of any foreclosure of any of the Mortgages, sale of any one or more
of the Properties pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgages or acceptance by
Lender, its nominees or wholly owned subsidiaries of one or more deeds or
assignments in lieu of foreclosure or sale and irrespective of any other fact or
circumstance of any nature whatsoever.
ARTICLE IX.
RESERVE FUNDS
SECTION 9.1. Tax Funds.
9.1.1. Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrower shall deposit with
Lender on the Monthly Payment Date an amount (the "MONTHLY TAX DEPOSIT") equal
to one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the
next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient
funds to pay all such Taxes at least ten (10) days prior to their respective due
dates (such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "TAX
FUNDS"). If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not
be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the
amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least
ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if
Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days
prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit such amount within
two (2) Business Day after its receipt of such notice.
9.1.2. Release of Tax Funds. Lender shall, provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio shall not be less than 1.05:1, release Tax Funds to Borrower for payments
of Taxes prior to the date such Taxes are due or paid by Borrower, upon delivery
to Lender of an Officer's Certificate, certifying as to the actual amount of the
Taxes due and owing (the "CERTIFIED TAX AMOUNT") on the date thereof or within
thirty (30) days from the date thereof. Lender shall advance to Borrower for
same from the Tax Funds, within five (5) business days from the date Lender
receives such Officer's Certificate, an amount equal to the Certified Tax
Amount. In all other cases, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Lender shall either (i) release Tax Funds to Borrower for Taxes
paid by Borrower or (ii) apply the Tax Funds to the payment of Taxes. In making
any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement
or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes)
without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into
the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for
Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or
credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax
Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to
Borrower.
-49-
9.1.3. Application of Tax Funds. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Tax Funds from the
Tax Account and may apply the Tax Funds either to the payment of Taxes or to
payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may

SECTION 9.2. Insurance Premium Funds.
9.2.1. Deposits of Insurance Premium Funds. Borrower shall
deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount (the "MONTHLY
INSURANCE PREMIUM DEPOSIT") equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the
Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the Policies (such amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as the "INSURANCE PREMIUM FUNDS"). If at any time
Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Premium Funds will not be
sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the
amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least
thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.05:1, release the Insurance
Premium Funds to Borrower for payment of Insurance Premiums prior to the date
such Insurance Premiums are due or paid by Borrower, upon delivery to Lender of
an Officer's Certificate, certifying as to the actual amount of the Insurance
Premiums then due and owing (the "CERTIFIED INSURANCE AMOUNT") on the date
thereof or within sixty (60) days from the date thereof. Lender shall advance to
Borrower for same from the Insurance Funds, within five (5) business days from
the date Lender receives such Officer's Certificate, an amount equal to the
Certified Insurance Amount. In all other cases, provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall either (i) release the
Insurance Premium Funds to Borrower for Insurance Premiums paid by Borrower or
(ii) apply the Insurance Funds to the payment of Insurance Premiums. In making
any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of
the Insurance Premium Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Premium Funds.
Any Insurance Premium Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall
be returned to Borrower.
9.2.3. Application of Insurance Premium Funds. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender at its option may withdraw the
Insurance Premium Funds from the Insurance Premium Account and may apply the
Insurance Premium Funds to the payment of Insurance Premiums or to the payment
of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender shall determine in
its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Insurance
-50-

SECTION 9.3. Ordinary Capital Expenditures Funds.
9.3.1. Deposits of Ordinary Capital Expenditures Funds.
Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date with respect to
each Property constituting collateral for the Loan on such Monthly Payment Date
an amount (the "MONTHLY ORDINARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES DEPOSIT") equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (x) $50.00 multiplied by (y) the number of
manufactured home sites located at such Property (such amounts so deposited
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "ORDINARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FUNDS"),
provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to make a Monthly Ordinary
Capital Expenditure Deposit with respect to a particular Property if on the
Monthly Payment Date, the balance held in the Ordinary Capital Expenditures
Account with respect to such Property is equal to or in excess of $25.00
multiplied by the number of manufactured home sites located at such Property.
Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Capital Work from
time to time, and may require Borrower to amend the Ordinary Capital
Expenditures Budget and to increase the Monthly Ordinary Capital Expenditures
Deposit upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its
reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation
of the Properties.
9.3.2. Release of Ordinary Capital Expenditure Funds. Lender
shall disburse Ordinary Capital Reserve Funds with respect to a particular
Property only for Capital Work with respect to such Property. Lender shall
disburse to Borrower the Ordinary Capital Expenditures Funds to reimburse
Borrower for the actual costs incurred in connection with Capital Work at the
Properties upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) no default
shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower
shall submit a request for disbursement to Lender at least ten (10) days prior
to the date on which Borrower requests such disbursement be made, which request

Capital Work to be funded by the requested disbursement and the amount requested
to be funded with respect to each category of Capital Work, it being agreed that

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

apply the Ordinary Capital Expenditure Funds shall be in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.4. Capital Improvement Funds.
9.4.1. Capital Improvement Funds. Borrower shall, on the
date hereof, deposit with Lender the amounts shown on Schedule 2 attached hereto
with respect to each Property (the "CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS").
9.4.2. Release of Capital Improvement Funds. Lender shall
disburse the Capital Improvement Funds with respect to a particular Property
only for the costs of those items set forth on the Capital Improvement Plan
approved by Lender with respect to such Property as the same may be revised from
time to time with the approval of Lender. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the
Capital Improvement Funds with respect to a particular Property to reimburse
Borrower for the actual costs incurred in connection with the Capital
Improvement Plan at such Property upon satisfaction of each of the following
conditions: (i) no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan
Documents, (ii) Borrower shall submit a request for disbursement to Lender at
least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such
disbursement be made, which request shall be accompanied by, with respect to
each Property for which a disbursement from the Capital Improvement Funds is
being requested, a certificate of Borrower (A) describing by category the
Capital Work to be funded by the requested disbursement and the amount requested
to be funded with respect to each category of Capital Work, it being agreed that
the categories to be utilized in connection with such requests shall be
consistent with those categories set forth in the reconciliation statement in
EXHIBIT V attached hereto, (B) stating that all Capital Work to be funded by the
requested disbursement has been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with all legal requirements, (C) stating that each Person who has
supplied materials or labor in connection with such Capital Work has been paid
all sums due and owing or will be paid all such sums upon such disbursement, (D)
stating that Borrower has obtained lien waiver from all Persons supplying

of $10,000 and (iii) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender
shall reasonably request that the Capital Work to be funded by the requested
disbursement has been completed and is paid for or will be paid upon such
disbursement to Borrower, it being agreed that Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, at any time to request copies of licenses, permits or
approvals, plans and specifications, contracts, invoices, lien waivers, title
searches that such Capital Work has been completed and paid for. In addition, at
the time of each request Borrower shall submit to Lender, for informational
purposes, a statement of capital expenditures in the form of EXHIBIT X
-52-
which shall be certified by Borrower to the best of its knowledge to be true and
complete. In addition, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
any time to require an inspection report from Consultant with respect to any
Capital Work, provided, however, that such inspection report shall not be a
condition precedent to disbursement unless required by Lender and the cost of a
particular item of Capital Work is in excess of $150,000. At such time as
seventy percent (70%) of the amount originally budgeted with respect to the
Capital Improvement Funds for a particular Property (exclusive of the 25%
contingency funded in connection therewith) has been disbursed to Borrower,
Lender shall not be required to make further disbursements of the Capital
Improvement Funds with respect to such Property until Borrower has submitted to
Lender a category by category reconciliation of the Capital Work done to date
with the Capital Work originally planned and budgeted for in the Capital
Improvement Plan for such Property in the form of EXHIBIT V attached hereto and
Lender shall be satisfied in its reasonable judgment that the balance of the
Capital Improvement Funds with respect to such Property remaining in the Capital
Improvement Account with respect to such Property is sufficient to complete the
remaining items of the Capital Improvement Plan, as the same may be revised with
the reasonable approval of Lender (the amount by which such account balance is
less than the amount necessary to complete, the "DEFICIENCY"). At the option of
Lender, Lender may require Borrower to deposit into the Capital Improvement
Funds Account an amount equal to the Deficiency or to invest in the Capital Work
amounts equal to the Deficiency prior to further disbursements of the Capital
Improvement Funds with respect to such Property. Upon satisfaction by Lender
that sufficient funds remain to complete all necessary Capital Work in the
Capital Improvement Plan with respect to such Property, Lender shall continue to
disburse funds from the Capital Improvement Account with respect to such
Property in accordance with the foregoing procedures, provided, however, that a
second reconciliation and revision of the Capital Improvement Plan, if
necessary, shall be completed at such time as 95% of the amount originally
budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan for such Property has been disbursed.
In no event shall Lender be required to disburse the 25% contingency funded in
connection with such Property until such time as all Capital Work in connection
with the Capital Improvement Plan, as the same may have been revised from time
to time with the approval of Lender, shall have been completed exclusive of
punch list items. Upon completion of all of the Capital Work set forth in such
Capital Improvement Plan with respect to a particular Property and upon
satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement set forth herein, any remaining
funds held in the subaccount of the Capital Improvement Funds Account with
respect to such Property shall be released to Borrower. Lender shall not be
required to disburse Capital Improvement Funds more frequently than once each
calendar month or in amounts less than $25,000 in the aggregate, provided,
however, that the final disbursement from the Capital Improvement Account may be
in an amount less than $25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall,
subject to compliance with the terms hereof, be entitled to up to, but not in
excess of, three (3) additional disbursements from the Capital Improvement
Funds. Disbursements of Capital Improvement Funds shall be deposited into the
Cash Management Account.
9.4.3. Application of Capital Improvement Funds. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the
Capital Improvement Funds from the Capital Improvements Account and apply the
Capital Improvement Funds to completion of the Capital Work or to the payment of
the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Capital
-53-
Improvement Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided

Expenditure Funds and Capital Improvement Funds.

to the Ordinary Capital Expenditures Funds or the Capital Improvement Funds to

of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Capital Work and
all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and
shop drawings relating to such Capital Work. Borrower shall use reasonable
efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or
Lender's representatives or such other Persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this SECTION 9.5.2. Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such
inspections in excess of $100,000 over the term of the Loan, provided, however,
if any such inspection reveals that there has been a material deviation in the
Capital Work completed from that certified to have been completed by Borrower,
Borrower shall pay the cost of such inspection regardless of such cap.
9.5.3. Intentionally Deleted.
9.5.4. Insurance. In addition to any insurance required
under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided
workmen's compensation insurance, builder's risk, and public liability insurance
and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection
with all Capital Work. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably
satisfactory to Lender.
9.5.5. Compliance; Plans and Specifications and Contractors.
All Capital Work shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental
Requirements) and all plans and specifications required in connection with any
Capital Work shall, if the cost of same is estimated to exceed $150,000, be
subject to review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and Consultant. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of such plans
and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained
in connection with the Capital Work. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10)
Business Days following a request and submission of plans and specifications,
such plans and specifications shall be deemed approved by Lender.

-59-
(ii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other
remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and
delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in
equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time
to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall
have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action
for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the
Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be

discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without
impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees
that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not
subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or
rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and
effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies
against the Properties and each Mortgage has been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in
satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(iii) With respect to Borrower and the Properties,
nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall
be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Property
for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or
priority to any other Property, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part
thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.
In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time
to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for
any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as
determined by Lender in its sole discretion including,
without limitation, the following circumstances in the event
Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the
payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and
interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages
to recover such delinquent payments. Notwithstanding one or
more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain
subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured
by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(iv) In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender
provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, the Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such
notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due
and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise following an Event of
-60-
Default) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing
by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower.
Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The provisions of this Section
10.2(iv) shall be applicable only during such time as this
Loan shall be held by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank.
SECTION 10.3. Application of Moneys. All moneys received or
collected by Lender in respect of the Loan after an Event of Default shall be
applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion determine. The
balance, if any, of such moneys remaining after payment in full of such costs
and the Debt shall be remitted to Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.4. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and
remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may
determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any
remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such
remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to
Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or
Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
SECTION 10.5. Right to Cure Defaults. If default beyond any
applicable notice and cure period in the performance of any of the covenants of
Borrower shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, at its discretion, remedy
the same and for such purpose shall have the right to enter upon the Properties
or any portion thereof without thereby being liable to Borrower or any Person in
possession thereof holding under Borrower, and to pay all sums as may be
necessary to cure any such default (including, without limitation any default by
Borrower in the payment of any Insurance Premiums or any Taxes or other liens or
encumbrances covering the Properties or any part thereof). If Lender shall
remedy such a default (including, without limitation, any default by Borrower in
the payment of any Insurance Premiums or any Taxes or other liens or
encumbrances covering the Properties or any part thereof) or appear in, defend
or bring any action or proceeding to protect the interest of Lender in the
Properties, or any portion thereof, or to foreclose any of the Mortgages or
collect the Debt, the costs and expenses thereof (including reasonable
attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law) with interest as provided in
this paragraph, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and shall be
added to and constitute part of the Debt secured by the Mortgages. All such
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such default or in appearing
in, defending or bringing any such action or
-61-
proceeding, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand, with interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

SECTION 12.1. Syndication of the Loan. Lender shall have the
absolute and unconditional right at any time after the date of this Agreement

(i) to sell and assign the Loan in whole or in part, or (ii) to place one or

"SECURITIZATION." Any certificate, notes or other securities issued in
connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "SECURITIES").
In connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the
absolute and unconditional right without obtaining the prior approval of
Borrower, any Guarantor or indemnitor or any other person, party or entity
associated or connected with the Loan or the collateral therefor to disclose,
deliver and to share, on a confidential basis, with any prospective purchaser of
the Loan or of any participation or other interest therein (including any such
interest to be acquired in connection with a syndication or securitization of
the Loan) such information (financial or otherwise), documents and instruments
pertaining to the Loan, the Properties, Borrower or any Guarantor or indemnitor
or any other person, party or entity associated or connected with the Loan or
the collateral therefor as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in the exercise
of its sole and absolute discretion. Except as provided otherwise in SECTION

shall not be responsible for the payment of any costs and expenses in connection
with any Secondary Market Transaction.

satisfactory in all respects to Lender;
(ii) a detailed structural and physical inspection

12.1.1(II) with respect to those Properties which Borrower did not deliver such

Agencies or any other Person authorized by Lender);
(iii) use best efforts to provide opinions of counsel,
which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and
their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to

or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the
Properties and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel and
opinions shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating

as the Rating Agencies may reasonably require;

Borrower's organizational documents reasonably requested by

as set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) modify or amend
any other material economic term of the Loan;

-64-
SECTION 12.3. Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by
Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without
limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private
placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT")
and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), or
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and
may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities,
the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.
Lender shall provide Borrower adequate opportunity to review any such Disclosure
Document and to provide any such comment to Lender as Borrower deems necessary.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and
final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A)
certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by
Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower,
Borrower Affiliates, the Properties, the Property Manager and all other aspects
of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B)
indemnifying (and for purposes of this SECTION 12.3, Lender hereunder shall
include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender that has filed the
registration statement relating to the Securitization (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the
meaning of SECTION 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the "LENDER GROUP"), and Lender, each of its directors and each
Person who controls Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "UNDERWRITER GROUP")
for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "LIABILITIES")
to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to
make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading to the extent that Borrower failed to timely
notify the Lender, Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group with respect to the
same and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the
Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender,
the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or
defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in
any such case under clause (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such
loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with
the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, appraisals, market
studies, environmental site
-65-
assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act filings, Borrower shall (i)
indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to
which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to
be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the
Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading to the extent that Borrower failed to timely notify the Lender,
Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group with respect to the same and (ii)
reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the
Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have
to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it
(or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.
After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this
Section, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at
the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified
party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section is
for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof)
referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section,
the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
-66-
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the
amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the
following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender's and Borrower's relative
knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which
the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate
in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per
capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender
under this SECTION 12.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
SECTION 12.4. Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain, at its
sole costs, the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any
certificates issued in a Securitization.
SECTION 12.5. Component Notes. At no cost or expense to Borrower,
Lender shall have the right to modify the Note in order to create one or more
"component notes" provided that (a) the total principal balance of such notes as
of the effective date of such modification equals the total principal balance of
the Loan immediately prior to such modification, (b) the total weighted average
of the Interest Rates of all of the component notes as of the effective date of
such modification equals the weighted average of the Interest Rate of the Note
immediately prior to such modification and (c) the aggregate monthly debt
service on such component notes immediately after such modification equals the
monthly debt service immediately prior to such modification. Lender shall have
the right to modify the Notes in the accordance with this Section upon notice to
Borrower (in which event such modification shall then be deemed effective).
SECTION 12.6. Event of Default. It shall be an Event of Default
if either Borrower or Guarantors shall fail to comply with any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Article XII for three (3) Business Days after
notice from Lender provided, however, that if Borrower shall have commenced to
cure such default, and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure
the same, such three (3) day period will be extended for an additional five (5)
business days.
SECTION 12.7. Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain a
servicer (the "SERVICER") to act as its agent under the Loan with such powers as
are specifically delegated to the servicer by Lender including, without
limitation, (x) general administration of the Loan, including, without
limitation, the collection and remittance of payments, the maintaining of tax
and insurance escrows, the review of the monthly and quarterly reports required
to be submitted by Borrower and the issuance of periodic reports of available
borrowing capacity under the Loan, (y) the granting or withholding of any and
all consents or approvals which may be requested or given pursuant to the Loan
Documents, and (z) the exercise of, or determination to refrain from exercising,
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. In the event Lender retains a
Servicer as aforesaid, Borrower shall recognize that the Servicer shall have all
the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder and Borrower irrevocably
consents to the matters set forth in this SECTION 12.7 and agrees to cooperate
with the Servicer in all respects as if Servicer
-67-
were the Lender named herein. Lender shall be responsible for the payment of all
fees and expenses of Servicer.
SECTION 12.8. Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any
of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage
and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing
to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
ARTICLE XIII.
PARTIAL RELEASE OF PROPERTIES
SECTION 13.1. Partial Release of Properties. Borrower shall have
the right to obtain releases of individual Properties from the lien of the
Mortgages and the other Loan Documents (and to obtain a release of any Ordinary

Premium Funds held in connection therewith) upon the following terms and
conditions:
(i) no default shall have occurred and be continuing
under the Loan Documents;
(ii) the covenant set forth in SECTION 5.1.11 entitled
"Single Purpose" shall be fully satisfied, such that the
Borrower will no longer own the released Property;
(iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Defeasance

Principal Balance of the Note in such manner as Lender shall

into the Defeasance Collateral Account in an amount
equivalent to 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount with respect
to such property in such manner as Lender shall determine;

Properties released in accordance with this SECTION 13.1

reasonably request; and
(viii) Borrower shall have satisfied the other
conditions and requirements set forth in SECTION 2.5.
SECTION 13.2. Release of Portions of Mobile Gardens Property,
Xxxxxxxxxx Village Property and Lakeside of Palm Beaches Property. Borrower
shall have the right to obtain a release of the nonrevenue producing (as of the
date hereof) commercial frontage property of the Mobile Gardens Mobile Home
Community located in Denver, Colorado, the Xxxxxxxxxx Village Property located
in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the Lakeside of Palm Beaches Property located in
West Palm Beach, Florida (the "RELEASE PARCELS") from the lien of the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) Borrower shall provide Lender not less than thirty
(30) days notice (or a shorter period of time if permitted
by Lender in its sole discretion) specifying a date on which
the partial release is to occur;
(ii) To the extent applicable, Borrower shall have
delivered to Lender evidence that Borrower has complied with
all requirements of and obtained all approvals required
under any Leases applicable to the release of the Release
Parcel and that the release does not violate any of the
provisions of the Leases, including, without limitation,
provisions relating to the availability of parking at the
Property;
(iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (A) an
endorsement to the existing Lender's title insurance policy,
an opinion of counsel (from counsel reasonably acceptable to
Lender) or a certificate of an architect (from an architect
reasonably acceptable to Lender and licensed to practice in
the State) indicating that the Release Parcel has been
legally subdivided for zoning lot purposes from the
remainder of the Property pursuant to a zoning lot
subdivision in accordance with applicable law, (B) an
endorsement to the title insurance policy, an opinion of
counsel (from counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender) or a
certificate of an architect (from an architect reasonably
acceptable to Lender and licensed to practice in the State)
indicating that the balance of the Property separately
conforms to and is in material compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements and constitutes a separate tax
lot(s), (C) a certificate from an architect or engineer
licensed to practice in the State to the effect that the
Release Parcel is not necessary for the uses of the

therefor reserved over the Release Parcel for the benefit of
the remainder of the Property) and (D) an Officer's
Certificate with supporting documentation indicating that
either sufficient parking remains on the remainder of the
Property to comply with all
-69-
Leases of such remainder or reservations of parking (in
favor of such remainder) in that portion of the Property
released are sufficient to comply with all Leases of such
remainder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Borrower determines that it shall not effect a zoning lot
subdivision, but shall only effect a tax lot subdivision, in
lieu of subparagraph (A) above, Borrower shall deliver
evidence (either an opinion of counsel or a certificate from
an architect or engineer and licensed to practice in the
State) that (y) the entire Property remains a single zoning
lot and all improvements located thereon remain in
compliance with all Legal Requirements and (z) the entire
Property shall be subject to a zoning lot development
agreement recorded in the appropriate land records which
will restrict the use of the Release Parcel and will permit
the use, development and restoration (in the case of a
Casualty or other damage) of the remainder of the Property
such that the remainder of the Property may continue to be
used, developed and restored in the manner existing on the
date of release; and
(iv) If the requirements of this Section 13.2 have been
satisfied, the Release Parcel shall be released from the
lien of the Mortgage. In connection with the release of the
Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten
(10) days prior to the Partial Release Date (or such shorter
time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a
release of Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) for
execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form
appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is
located and that contains standard provisions protecting the
rights of the releasing lender. Borrower shall pay all
costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the
lien of the Mortgage, including Lender's reasonable
attorneys' fees. Borrower shall cause title to the Release
Parcel so released from the lien of the Mortgage to be
transferred to and held by a Person other than Borrower.
SECTION 13.3. Allocated Loan Amounts. SCHEDULE 1 sets forth the
allocation of the Principal Balance of the Loan amongst the Properties (such
allocation with respect to each Property, the "ALLOCATED LOAN AMOUNT"). The
Allocated Loan Amounts shall not be subject to adjustment or reallocation as a
result of any prepayments of the Principal Balance.
ARTICLE XIV.
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 14.1. Non-Waiver. The failure of Lender to insist upon
strict performance of any term of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any term of this Agreement. Borrower shall not be relieved of
Borrower's obligation to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for
its payment in the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement by reason of (i)
failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to
foreclose any one or more of the Mortgages or otherwise enforce any of the
provisions of this
-70-
Agreement, the Mortgages, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Properties
or any other collateral or security for the Debt, or (iii) any agreement or
stipulation between Lender and any subsequent owner or owners of the Properties
or other Person extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or
supplementing the terms of the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of Borrower, and
in the latter event, Borrower shall continue to be obligated to pay the Debt at
the time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Mortgages and this
Agreement, as so extended, modified and supplemented, unless, expressly released
and discharged from such obligation by Lender in writing. Regardless of
consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the
holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to
the Properties, Lender may release any Person at any time liable for the payment
of the Debt or any portion thereof or any part of the security held for the Debt
and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of the Note,
the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, a modification of the interest rate payable on the Principal
Balance, without in any manner impairing or affecting the Mortgages or the
respective liens thereof or the priority of the Mortgages, as so extended and
modified, as security for the Debt over any such subordinate lien, encumbrance,
right, title or interest. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any
other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender in its
discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any
portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the
right of Lender thereafter to foreclose any one or more of the Mortgages. Lender
shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but
shall be entitled to every additional right and remedy set forth in the Loan
Documents or now or hereafter afforded by law. The rights of Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be separate, distinct and
cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act
of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision
of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents to the exclusion of any other
provision set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.2. Sole Discretion. Except as may otherwise be
expressly provided to the contrary, wherever pursuant to the Note, the
Mortgages, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender exercises
any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or
any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender
shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and
conclusive.
SECTION 14.3. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation. Borrower
acknowledges that Borrower's obligation to pay the Debt in accordance with the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement is and shall at all
times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at
all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or
circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
defense to the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or the obligation of
Borrower thereunder to pay the Debt or the obligations of any other Person
relating to the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or the obligations of
Borrower under the Note, the Mortgages or this Agreement or otherwise with
respect to the Loan, and Borrower absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
waives any and all right to assert any defense (other than the defense of
payment), setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the obligation of Borrower to pay the Debt in accordance with the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgages and this Agreement
-71-
or the obligations of any other Person relating to the Note, the Mortgages or
this Agreement or the obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Mortgages or
this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action, case or
proceeding brought by Lender to collect the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to
enforce, foreclose and realize upon the lien and security interest created by
the Mortgages or any other document or instrument securing repayment of the
Debt, in whole or in part (provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of
this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of Borrower to assert
any compulsory counterclaim in any such action, case or proceeding brought by
Lender in any state court if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or
rule or procedure, or in any such action, case or proceeding brought by Lender
in a court of the United States, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this
sentence be deemed a waiver of the right of Borrower to assert any claim which
would otherwise constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any
nature whatsoever against Lender in any separate action, case or proceeding
brought by Borrower against Lender).
SECTION 14.4. Relationship. The relationship of Lender to
Borrower hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and
nothing contained in the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any
circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever
between Lender and Borrower other than as lender and borrower.
SECTION 14.5. Anti-Forfeiture. Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording
the Federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture
under any Federal or state RICO or similar law as against the Properties or any
part thereof or interest therein or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's
obligations under this Agreement, the Mortgages, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and
agrees to defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any loss, damage or
injury by reason of the breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in this
paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of
formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Borrower or against
the Properties or any part thereof or interest therein under any Federal or
state law for which forfeiture of the Properties or any part thereof or of any
monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents is
a potential result, shall, at the election of Lender, but otherwise subject to
the immediately following sentence, constitute an Event of Default hereunder
without notice or opportunity to cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after
prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may contest the
validity of or application of any such law affording such forfeiture, provided
that (i) no default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note,
the Mortgages, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower, or the Properties, are
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (iii) neither the
Properties nor any portion thereof nor any interest therein will in the opinion
of Lender be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost,
and (iv) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender cash, cash equivalent or
letter of credit satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge any
lien together with interest and penalties thereon arising out of such law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any
deposit with Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, if Lender
is reasonably satisfied
-72-
that (a) the act or omission affording such forfeiture was committed by a Person
other than Borrower or an Affiliate or subsidiary of Borrower, (b) Borrower is
diligently pursuing its rights and remedies against such Person, (c) neither the
Properties nor any portion thereof or interest therein will be in danger of
being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, and (d) the respective
liens and priorities of the Mortgages will not be in danger of being primed,
diminished or forfeited.
SECTION 14.6. Deposits. Whenever in this Agreement, Borrower is
required to deposit monies with Lender to secure obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement or as a condition precedent to Borrower's right to contest
certain obligations, such monies shall (unless otherwise specifically provided
to the contrary in this Agreement) be held in an interest-bearing account
selected by Lender. All such accrued interest shall be held, disbursed and
applied in accordance with the provisions applicable to such deposits, it being
agreed that interest earned on the Tax Fund Account and the Insurance Premium
Account shall be credited against future required monthly deposits. From time to
time, at the request of Borrower, Lender shall disburse interest earned on the
Capital Improvement Account to the Borrower for deposit into the Operating
Account provided Lender is reasonably satisfied that sufficient funds remain in
such Accounts to complete all Capital Work required hereunder. In order to
secure the payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of its
obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants and assigns to
Lender a security interest in and to all monies from time to time on deposit in
any such account. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as
such Event of Default shall continue, Lender shall have the absolute right to
apply all or any portion of the balances held in any such accounts to the
payment of the Debt whether or not due and payable in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem appropriate.
SECTION 14.7. No Brokers. Lender shall not be required to pay any
brokerage fees or commissions or other remuneration of any nature whatsoever
arising from the extension of the Loan or the funding of the Loan and Borrower
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless, from and against any and
all claims made against, or liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by
Lender in connection with any claims which are asserted by any broker with whom
Borrower has, or is alleged to have, dealt in connection with the Loan or any
other Person claiming by, through or under Borrower in connection with the Loan.
SECTION 14.8. Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees to
submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York in any action, case or
proceeding arising out of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(other than the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases and Rents), and, in
furtherance of such agreement, Borrower hereby agrees and consents that without
limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over
Borrower in any such action, case or proceeding may be obtained within or
without the jurisdiction of any court located in the State of New York and that
any process or notice of motion or other application to any such court in
connection with any such action, case or proceeding may be served upon Borrower
by registered or certified mail to or by personal service at the last known
address of Borrower, as the case may be, whether such address be within or
without the jurisdiction of any such court. Borrower also agrees that the venue
of any litigation arising in connection with the Debt or in respect of any of
the obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (other than enforcement actions
-73-
brought under the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases and Rents) shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be in New York County, New York.
SECTION 14.9. Retention of Counsel and Consultants. If Lender
deems it to be in its best interests to retain the assistance of any Person
(including, but not limited to, attorneys, title insurance companies, third
party escrow agents, appraisers, accountants, engineers and surveyors) with
respect to any request for consent or approval by Lender relating to the Loan
Documents, Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) days of its demand
for all reasonable costs incurred by them in connection with the employment of
such Persons.
SECTION 14.10. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled
to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except as required by
applicable law and except with respect to matters for which this Agreement
specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice
from Lender with respect to any matter for which applicable law or this
Agreement does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by Lender to Borrower.
SECTION 14.11. Indemnification of Lender. Borrower shall
indemnify Lender and its respective affiliates, subsidiaries, directors,
officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
judgments, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not Lender is a
party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby
or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of
any Loan hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate
Borrower to indemnify Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages,
penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses, imposed on or incurred by Lender
by reason of Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The obligations of
Borrower under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 14.12. Construction of Agreement. The titles and headings
preceding the Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the
subject matter of such Section and shall not be given any consideration in the

SECTION 14.13. Parties Bound, etc. All of the terms, covenants
and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns. Borrower
shall not have the right without the prior consent of Lender (which consent may
be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender) to assign or transfer
its rights under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, in
whole or in part, by agreement, operation of law or otherwise to any other
Person, it being agreed that any such assignment or transfer without the prior
consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect and shall constitute
an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement.
SECTION 14.14. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. NO STATEMENTS, AGREEMENTS OR
REPRESENTATIONS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MADE BY LENDER, OR BY ANY
EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR BROKER ACTING ON BEHALF OF LENDER, WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN SHALL
-74-
BE OF ANY FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH
IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND
REPRESENTATIONS IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN ARE MERGED IN THIS
AGREEMENT SO THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
LENDER AND BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN.
SECTION 14.15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all
respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 14.16. Severability. If any term, covenant, provision or
