(i) I agree reasonably promptly to perform such acts and deeds, and to execute and deliver such conveyances, assignments, proxies, consents, agreements, instruments, Form 2530s or letters of resignation, or communicate any reasonable objections thereto to the Company’s General Counsel, as the Company may at any time reasonably request in writing in connection with the implementation of this Agreement or in order to better assure and confirm unto the parties hereto their respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder, or in connection with the management transition resulting from my resignation, including, but not limited to the execution of any documents reasonably requested by any lender, partner or affiliate of the Company (the “Documentation”). I shall review, sign and return Form 2530s submitted to me by the Company within five (5) business days of delivery thereof or to communicate any reasonable objection thereto to the Company’s General Counsel (the “General Counsel”) within such time period. I shall cooperate with the General Counsel, and provide the General Counsel with such documentation as the General Counsel shall reasonably request, to effect the rapid and efficient filing of Form 2530s. The General Counsel, and the officers of Company as necessary, shall cooperate with me, and provide me with information or documentation I may reasonably request to enable me to execute the required documentation. “Form 2530” means a Form HUD-2530 Previous Participation Certificate.
(ii) I further agree to cooperate with the Company by making myself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the CharterMac Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, as reasonably requested; provided, however, that the same does not materially interfere with my then current professional activities or important personal activities and is not contrary to my best interests. The Company agrees to reimburse me, on an after-tax basis, for all reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with my provision of testimony or assistance and to pay me reasonable per diem costs for such testimony or assistance.
|
(i) |
Remedies. |
(i) I acknowledge that a material breach of my covenants contained in this Section 13 after material compliance by the Company with its obligations under this Agreement will cause irreparable damage to the Company, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such material breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, I agree that if I breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 13 in any material respect, and provided the Company has not materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the need to post any bond or any other undertaking or prove the inadequacy of money damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to specific performance regarding my execution of any governmental filing which is not deemed by me to be correct and/or complete in all material respects.
|
12 |
(ii) The Company and I further acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 13 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and that the covenants contained in this Section 13 are reasonable. In the event that the agreements in this Section 13 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their being overly broad as to time or geographical scope or by reason of their being overreaching in any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.
(j) Non-Circumvention. I acknowledge and agree that I will not engage in activities, or utilize any of the exceptions to the covenants contained in this Sections 13 in a manner intended to circumvent the my obligations under this Sections 13.
14. Company Cooperation. The Company shall cooperate in providing me with such information regarding the entities comprising the Company in which I own an interest as such entities are required to provide to similarly situated interest holders whether or not such indirect holders are employees, officers or directors of the Company. I, at my sole expense, shall have the right to inspect and copy the books and records of such entities to the same extent such entities are required to provide such rights to similarly situated interest holders during normal business hours upon reasonable written notice, provided that such inspection and copying does not materially interfere with the normal business operations of the Company; and provided further that such inspection and copying is for a purpose reasonably related to my interest as a partner, member or shareholder of the applicable entity. I shall have the right to audit the books and records of entities comprising the Company in which I own an interest, at my sole expense, during normal business hours upon reasonable written notice, provided that such audit does not materially interfere with the normal business operations of the Company.
15. AMAC Standstill. I hereby agree, on behalf of myself and my affiliates, that from the date hereof until November 15, 2010, I will not, and will cause any of my affiliates to not, without the prior written approval of CharterMac (which approval shall require the approval of not less than a majority of the CharterMac Board to, directly or indirectly, (i) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way assist any other person or entity to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (A) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) of AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions; (B) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions; (C) any recapitalization, restructuring, conversion, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions; (D) any acquisition of a material or significant amount of the assets of AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions; or (E) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents with respect to any voting securities of AMAC; (ii) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (i) above; (iii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, board of directors, managing member or trustees or
|
13 |
policies of AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions; (iv) take any action which might force or require AMAC or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (i) above; or (v) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing.
16. Power of Attorney. If, for any reason or no reason, I shall both fail to execute any Documentation (exclusive of any Federal, state or local filings) and fail to communicate any reasonable objection thereto within five (5) business days following delivery of a written reasonable request therefor, I hereby make and appoint Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., or his successor as General Counsel of CharterMac, as my attorney-in-fact (“Attorney-in-Fact”) to act in my name, place and xxxxx for the purpose of making, executing and delivering the Documentation (exclusive of any Federal, state or local filings), and, without limiting the foregoing, for the purpose of making, executing and delivering all documents and doing such lawful things which the Attorney-in-Fact deems necessary to (i) effect my resignation as a trustee, director or officer of any entity related to the Company; (ii) execute and deliver consents pursuant to Section 13(g) hereof; and (iii) take any further ministerial actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing. This power is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and all powers conferred upon the Attorney-in-Fact herein above shall remain at all times in full force and effect, notwithstanding my incapacity, disability, death, or any uncertainty with regard thereto. I hereby consent and agree that any third party shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof as conclusive evidence of the right of the Attorney-in-Fact to execute and deliver the Documentation and to effect any other action pursuant to the provisions hereof, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by my or on my behalf. Upon exercise of this power of attorney, the Attorney-in-Fact will deliver written notice to me, including a copy of the executed Documentation.
17. Return of Company Property. Upon the termination of the Consulting Period, I will return to the Company all files, documents, records, and copies of the foregoing (whether in hard or electronic form), Company-provided computer and telephone equipment, PDAs, pagers, credit cards, keys, building passes, security passes, access or identification cards, and any other property of the Company in my possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I may keep such information I may need to be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of completing my income tax returns and determining my rights and benefits (i) under the plans and arrangements of the Company and (ii) in the investments I have in certain entities.
18. No Admission of Guilt. This Agreement is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing by either me or the Company.
19. Indemnification and D&O Insurance. The Company shall at all times indemnify me and provide me with the advancement of expenses with respect to any actions or omissions as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, any entity comprising the Company or any entity at the request of the Company to the fullest extent provided for senior executive officers and directors providing services for the Company. Following the termination of my Employment Agreement and thereafter, the Company shall maintain, or shall cause any entity comprising the Company for whom I provide or provided services at the request of the Company to maintain, directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage in an amount not less than $15 million,
|
14 |
provided that such coverage can be obtained at rates that the Company reasonably determines are not cost prohibitive.
20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between me and the Company with respect to my employment with Company and the termination of such employment.

CHARTERMAC ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES
New York, NY – November 8, 2005 – CharterMac (the “Company”) (AMEX: CHC) today announced that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx will step down as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Trustees of the Company, effective November 15, 2005. The Board of Trustees has appointed Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, who is currently the Chairman of CharterMac, as the interim Chief Executive Officer and has begun a search to find a replacement for Xx. Xxxxxx.
“After nearly twenty years of dedication to CharterMac, including the last five years as Chief Executive Officer, Stuart has decided that at this juncture of his life, he would like to pursue other opportunities,” said Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, Chairman of CharterMac. “Stuart has made an extraordinary contribution to CharterMac and has been the key architect of most of the successes that our Company has experienced over the past two decades. Since we listed on the American Stock Exchange in 1997, Stuart’s goal for the Company was to establish CharterMac as a dominant force in the real estate finance industry, and it is clear that he accomplished this. During his tenure as CEO, the Company’s assets under management more than doubled, our market capitalization more than tripled and there is no doubt that CharterMac has cemented its reputation as a driving force in our industry. Having achieved all of this, Stuart has decided that it was the right time in his career to explore other initiatives. He will stay on as a consultant for a period of one year in order to ensure a smooth transition. It has been a privilege to work with Stuart, and we wish him all of the best.”
“It has been an honor to have played a key role in building CharterMac into one the nation’s leading real estate finance companies,” said Xx. Xxxxxx. “With the operating platform that we have amassed over the last eight years, the Company is well positioned for continued growth and success. Given all that this Company has accomplished, I felt it was the right time in my career for me to tackle some new challenges and opportunities. I will miss my close collaboration with the other members of our executive management team, but I leave knowing that the talent at this Company runs deep, and CharterMac will continue to prosper. ”
“We are quite fortunate that CharterMac has very strong bench strength,” continued Xx. Xxxx. “Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, our President and Xxxx Xxxxxx, our Chief Financial Officer will assume several of Stuart’s responsibilities and will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of our Company. Marc and Xxxx have each been with CharterMac and its predecessors for over twenty years, and worked in tandem with Stuart. The Board and I are extremely confident that this transition will be seamless to our clients, our shareholders and our employees. As we move forward, we will continue to build upon the entrepreneurial culture that Stuart worked so hard to create at CharterMac.”
The Board of Trustees has begun a search for a new Chief Executive Officer and will review both internal and external candidates. During the search, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx will act as interim Chief Executive Officer. Xx. Xxxx founded CharterMac’s predecessor in 1972 and has been Chairman of CharterMac since the Company listed on the American Stock Exchange in 1997. Xx. Xxxx is one of the nation’s foremost real estate developers and is the Chairman and founder of The Related Companies, LP, which currently holds an approximately 13% ownership interest in CharterMac. The Related Companies is a fully integrated real estate firm with divisions specializing in development, acquisitions, financial services, and property management. In the thirty-three years since launching Related, Xx. Xxxx has assembled a team of over 1,500 professionals who oversee a real estate portfolio valued in excess of $12 billion. Xx. Xxxx graduated from The University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and from Xxxxx State School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree. He then received a Master of Law degree in Taxation from the New York University School of Law. Based on a substantial gift in 2004, the University of Michigan renamed its Business School the “Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx School of Business at The University of Michigan.”

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
|
1. |
Why is Stuart leaving? Did he approach the Board on this or did the Board approach him? |
In the context of re-negotiations of Stuart’s contract, which was to expire in November of 2006, Stuart decided that at this juncture of his career, he would like to pursue other opportunities and challenges outside of our organization. Discussions for his contract renegotiation began approximately two months ago, and when it became apparent that Stuart was not going to renew his contract, the Board felt that it was better for him to step down now and remain as a consultant rather than stay on until the end of his contract in order to ensure a smooth transition.
|
2. |
What effect does Stuart’s severance package have on CAD/share? |
Roughly $0.02/share (after tax)
|
3. |
Why are you choosing to go outside of the Company to look for a new CEO? Why not promote someone from within? |
The Board is going to review both internal and external candidates in order to ensure that the right person is picked for the job. CharterMac has great depth and we are confident that the team in place, with Stephen’s assistance, will continue to move CharterMac forward. It may very well end up that an internal candidate will emerge.
|
4. |
What are the terms of Stuart’s consulting agreement (length and scope)? |
One year contract, renewable if both parties are jointly in agreement. The agreement can be terminated by either party on 30 days’ notice
Stuart will direct his consulting efforts toward Centerbrook and the AMAC CDO, and will be available to offer advice on other matters of importance relating to CharterMac’s existing portfolio of activities. He will have an office with TRCLP and, separately, will be available to consult with TRCLP if he and TRCLP so desire.
|
5. |
How involved will Xxxxxxx Xxxx be? |
Xxxxxxx Xxxx founded this company over 30 years ago and has always played an active role in managing it. He has been our Chairman since we listed on the AMEX in 1997 and he currently has an approximately 13% economic interest in CharterMac. While the oversight of day to day management of the Company will be the responsibility of Xxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx will devote a significant amount of time to directing the strategic initiatives of the Company.
