Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The Heights Loan

On December 21, 2007, we, through G&E Apartment REIT The Heights at old Towne, LLC, entered into a secured loan, or The Heights loan, with Freddie Mac. The Heights loan is evidenced by an original promissory note, or The Heights Note, and is secured by both a Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, conveying The Heights property and granting a security interest in its fixtures and personal property, or The Heights Deed, as well as a Guaranty executed by us as the guarantor of the The Heights loan, or the Heights Guaranty. The secured loan includes a fixed rate period as well as a potential extension period. During the fixed rate period, the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.79% and has an initial maturity date of January 1, 2018. Upon the initial maturity date, if the secured loan is not in default, an extension period automatically becomes effective for an additional 12-month period. During the extension period, the loan bears interest at an adjustable interest rate. The loan provides for the following payments: (a) during the fixed rate period, monthly interest payments of $1,684.73 beginning on February 1, 2008 and continuing and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2013, due the first of each month; (b) during the fixed rate period, monthly principal and interest payments of $61,395.69 beginning on February 1, 2013 continuing and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2018, due on the first of each month; and (c) during the extension period, monthly principal and interest payments calculated as per section 3(f) under the original promissory note from February 1, 2018 through January 1, 2019.

During the fixed rate period, the loan provides for a default interest rate equal to the lesser of: (a) 9.79% per annum or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. During the extension period, the loan provides for a default rate equal to the lesser of: (a) 4.0% above the adjustable interest ra te or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If any monthly payment is not received in full by the lender (i) during the fixed rate period, within ten days after the payment or other amount is due, or (ii) during the extension period, within five days after the payment or other amount is due, the borrower shall pay a late charge equal to five percent of such payment or other amount due. The loan is subject to a prepayment premium in the event any prepayment is made before January 1, 2018. In the event of prepayment, the prepayment premium to be paid shall be the greater of: (a) 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or (b) an amount calculated pursuant to the formula defined in section 10(e)(B) of the original promissory note. The loan documents also contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as well as provisions for reserves and impounds.

The Myrtles Loan

On December 21, 2007, we, through G&E Apartment REIT The Myrtles at Old Towne, LLC, ente red into a secured loan, or The Myrtles loan, with Freddie Mac. The Myrtles loan is evidenced by an original promissory note, or The Myrtles Note, and is secured by both a Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, conveying The Myrtles property and granting a security interest in its fixtures and personal property, or The Myrtles Deed, as well as a Guaranty executed by us as the guarantor of the The Myrtles loan, or The Myrtles Guaranty. The secured loan includes a fixed rate period as well as a potential extension period. During the fixed rate period, the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.79% and has an initial maturity date of January 1, 2018. Upon the initial maturity date, if the secured loan is not in default, an extension period automatically becomes effective for an additional 12-month period. During the extension period, the loan bears interest at an adjustable interest rate. The loan provides for the following payments: (a) during the fixed rat e period, monthly interest payments of $3,232.75 beginning on February 1, 2008 and continuing and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2013, due the first of each month; (b) during the fixed rate period, monthly principal and interest payments of $117,809.39 beginning on February 1, 2013 continuing and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2018, due on the first of each month; and (c) during the extension period, monthly principal and interest payments calculated as per section 3(f) under the original promissory note from February 1, 2018 through January 1, 2019.

During the fixed rate period, the loan provides for a default interest rate equal to the lesser of: (a) 9.79% per annum or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. During the extension period, the loan provides for a default rate equal to the lesser of: (a) 4.0% above the adjustable interest rate or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If any monthly payment is not received in full by the l ender (i) during the fixed rate period, within ten days after the payment or other amount is due, or (ii) during the extension period, within five days after the payment or other amount is due, the borrower shall pay a late charge equal to five percent of such payment or other amount due. The loan is subject to a prepayment premium in the event any prepayment is made before January 1, 2018. In the event of prepayment, the prepayment premium to be paid shall be the greater of: (a) 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or (b) an amount calculated pursuant to the formula defined in section 10(e)(B) of the original promissory note. The loan documents also contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as well as provisions for reserves and impounds.

Wachovia Loan

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on November 11, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement with Wachovia to obtain a loan in an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $ 10,000,000, or the Wachovia loan. On December 21, 2007, we borrowed $10,000,000, which we applied $9,993,000 towards the acquisition of The Heights property and The Myrtles property, as discussed above in 2.01, and lender legal fees of $7,000. On December 21, 2007, we, executed a First Amendment to and Waiver of Loan Agreement with Wachovia and Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT Holdings, Inc., our operating partnership, or Holdings, entered into a First Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement with Wachovia to pledge in connection with the $10,000,000 borrowings under the Wachovia loan.

Unsecured Loan

On December 21, 2007, in connection with our acquisition of The Height and The Myrtles, we, through Holdings, entered into an unsecured loan with NNN Realty Advisors, as evidenced by an Unsecured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000, or the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note matures on June 20, 2008. The Unsecured Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.46% per annum and requires mont hly interest-only payments beginning on January 1, 2008 for the term of the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note also provides for a default interest rate of 9.46% per annum. The loan proceeds were applied as follows: $3,208,000 towards the acquisition of The Heights property and $6,792,000 towards the acquisition of The Myrtles property. Since NNN Realty Advisors is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of our sponsor, this loan is deemed a related party loan. Therefore, the terms of the unsecured loan and the Unsecured Note were approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, and deemed fair, competitive and commercially reasonable by our directors.

The material terms of The Heights loan, The Myrtles loan, Wachovia Loan and the unsecured loan are qualified in their entirety by the terms of The Heights Note, The Heights Deed, The Heights Guaranty, The Myrtles Note, The Myrtles Deed, The Myrtles Guaranty, First Amendment to and Waiver of Loan Agreement, First Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement and Unsecured Note, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.6 through 10.14 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

3.1   Earnest Money Deposit.

  3.1.1   Payment of Deposit. Upon the full and final execution of this Agreement and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the First Deposit with Escrow Agent.

In addition, no later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (provided that this Agreement is not sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), and as a condition to the continued effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the Second Deposit with Escrow Agent.

  3.1.2   Applicable Terms; Failure to Make Deposit. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and shall otherwise be held and delivered by Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.

4.2   Title Defects.
     
 
    4.2.1     Buyer’s Objections to Title; Seller’s Obligations and Rights.
 
           

  (a)   Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions). In addition, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters which are not Permitted Exceptions and which materially adversely affect Buyer’s title to the Real Property that may first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period so long as such objection is made by Buyer within five (5) business days after Buyer becomes aware of the same (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date). Unless Buyer is entitled to and timely objects to such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.

  (b)   To the extent that any Title Objections do not constitute Required Exceptions, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections. Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within five (5) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (c)   If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same. If Seller is unable to Remove any Required Exceptions prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (d)   Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any exceptions to title.

  4.2.2   No New Exceptions. From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has received a true, correct and complete copy thereof and has approved the same in advance, in writing. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within five (5) business days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing.

4.3   Title Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

ARTICLE 6 - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS
The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing:
6.1
  Lease Rentals and Other Revenues.
 
   

  6.1.1   Rents. All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. Subject to Section 6.1.3 below, Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.

  6.1.2   Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection 6.1.1), security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.6), and pre-paid installments or other payments under Contracts that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.

  6.1.3   Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases or other revenue due Seller with respect to the period prior to Closing, and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any percentage rent that may be due with respect to any period of time prior to Closing, regardless of when the same is to be paid to the owner of the Property pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease); provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

6.2   Reserved.

6.3   Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.

  6.3.1   Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes for the Property that are actually due and payable during Closing Tax Year, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate or personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove and, as between Buyer and Seller, subject to this Section 6.3, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes due and payable after the Closing. Because ad valorem real estate taxes and personal property taxes are paid quarterly throughout the Closing Tax Year with the next such quarterly payment being due on December 31, 2007, the proration of the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows:

  (a)   Seller shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 (the “Payment Period”), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and

  (b)   Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Payment Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.

  6.3.2   Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.

     
6.3.3
  Special Assessments. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   
6.3.4
  Tenant Reimbursements. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   
6.3.5
  Reassessment. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   

6.4   Other Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

6.5   Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (a) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy (including endorsements), (b) the cost of preparing the Survey, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) one-half of all escrow or closing charges, (e) the so-called “Grantee’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (f) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, and (g) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer. Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) the so-called “Grantor’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (ii) any bulk sales tax or personal property tax applicable to the transfer of the Property (iii) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (iv) all fees due its attorneys, and (v) all costs incurred in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Exceptions. The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

6.6   Cash Security Deposits. To the extent that Seller has collected from any tenant any deposits or fees in addition to security deposits (including, without limitation, pet fees), Seller shall retain any such deposits or fees that are non-refundable, and any refundable deposits or fees shall be transferred to Buyer in the form of a credit at Closing.

6.7   Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price.

6.8   Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6, as shown on the Closing Statement (as hereinafter defined) at Closing, shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of written proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before ninety (90) days after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

  (ii)   If any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but are not, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (c)   The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed material for purposes of this Section 9.3.3 and the rest of this Agreement only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed $50,000.00.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove set forth, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.3.1 below, Buyer may disclose such information (i) on a need-to-know basis to its affiliates and its and their employees, lenders, consultants, agents, and members of professional firms serving it or potential lenders, (ii) as any governmental agency may require in order to comply with applicable Laws or a court order, and (iii) to the extent that such information is a matter of public record. The provisions of this Subsection 10.1.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

  10.1.2   Buyer’s Indemnity. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold each of the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) arising out of or resulting from the breach of the terms of Subsection 10.1.1; provided, however, that for purposes of Buyer’s indemnity hereunder the definition of Liabilities shall not include “problems or conditions.” The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

  10.1.3   Delivery of Information Regarding Compliance. No later than ten (10) business days from the Effective Date, Buyer agrees to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 are true, accurate and complete, which documentation shall include, without limitation, information regarding the ownership of Buyer and a list of any person or entity that directly or indirectly owns more than a 25% interest in Buyer, together with the Social Security number, FEIN number, or a copy of the passport, as applicable, for each such person or entity. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller may disclose such information, with notice to Buyer, if practicable (and if not, then promptly after such disclosure), to any government agency or regulators in connection with any regulatory examination or if Seller reasonably believes that such disclosure is required by Law or its regulatory compliance policies.

             
10.2   Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants as follows:
     
 
    10.2.1     Contracts.
 
           

  (a)   Without Buyer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller shall not extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or enter into any new service contract or agreement unless such Contract, service contract or agreement (as so extended, renewed, replaced or modified) can be terminated by the owner of the Property without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice. Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of the proposed transaction which shall contain information that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed transaction.

Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such transaction that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such transaction that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing.

  (b)   On or before the Closing, Seller shall terminate any management agreements currently in effect with respect to the Property at the sole cost and expense of Seller.

  10.2.2   Maintenance of Property. Except to the extent Seller is relieved of such obligations by Article 12 hereof, between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however, that, subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms of Article 5 hereof, Buyer hereby agrees that, except for breaches of this Section 10.2.2, Buyer, shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical conditions which would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller will advise Buyer of any written notice Seller receives after the date hereof from any governmental authority of the violation of any Laws regulating the condition or use of the Property, and shall provide Buyer a copy of such notice.

10.3   Mutual Covenants.

  10.3.1   Publicity. Seller and Buyer each hereby covenant and agree that (a) prior to the Closing neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any Release (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Transaction without the prior consent of the other, except to the extent required by applicable Law, and (b) after the Closing, any Release issued by either Seller or Buyer shall be subject to the review and approval of both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except to the extent required by applicable Law. If either Seller or Buyer is required by applicable Law to issue a Release, such party shall, at least two (2) business days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Release to the other party for its review. As used herein, the term “Release” shall mean any press release or public statement with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.3.1 shall be deemed to prohibit any disclosures otherwise permitted by Buyer under Section 10.1.1 above, or to prohibit any of Buyer’s activities undertaken pursuant to Section 15.19 below (including without limitation the promotion of a Registered Company (as defined below) or the making of required disclosures or filings to or with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Seller shall pay any brokerage commission due to Seller’s Broker in accordance with the separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any claims by Seller’s Broker or any other party claiming to have represented Seller as broker in connection with the Transaction. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of any claims by any party claiming to have represented Buyer as broker in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of the indemnities set forth in this Section, the definition of Liabilities shall not include “problems or conditions.”

  10.3.3   Tax Protests; Tax Refunds and Credits. Seller shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and all prior Tax Years. Buyer shall have the right to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any tax contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all Tax Years subsequent to the Closing Tax Year. All real estate and personal property tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Property shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit; second, to pay any amounts due to any past or present tenant of the Property as a result of such tax refund or credit to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Leases; and third, apportioned between Buyer and Seller as follows:

  (a)   with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), such refunds and credits shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller in the manner provided in Section 6.3;

  (b)   with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during any period prior to the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Seller shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits; and

  (c)   with respect to any refunds or credits attributable to real estate and personal property taxes due and payable during any period after the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed), Buyer shall be entitled to the entire refunds and credits.

  10.3.4   Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11 — FAILURE OF CONDITIONS

11.1   To Seller’s Obligations. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s representations or warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages as its sole remedy hereunder, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction.

11.2   To Buyer’s Obligations. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.

ARTICLE 12 — CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

12.1   Right to Terminate. If, after the date hereof, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining notice or knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the date hereof, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) business days after the receipt of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.2   Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing:

  (a)   if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller allocated Amounts; and

  (b)   to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within one (1) business day after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller.

Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, incurred in connection with obtaining payment of any awards or proceeds resulting from a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or incurred in connection with the negotiation and/or settlement of any casualty claim with an insurer with respect to the Property shall be paid Seller prior to the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Buyer) and be paid by Buyer after the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Seller).

12.3   Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.

12.4   Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12.

ARTICLE 13 — ESCROW PROVISIONS

The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

  (a)   The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

  (b)   If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.

  (c)   If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection (c). If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court.

  (d)   The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

  (e)   Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 33-0802019.

  (f)   The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.

The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14 — LEASING MATTERS

14.1   New Leases; Lease Modifications. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall not change its current leasing or management practices without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller shall provide Buyer with information outlining any such proposed changes to such leasing or management practices, and Buyer shall have three (3) business days to provide written approval or disapproval of such proposed changes; provided, however, that failure of Buyer to respond within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed to constitute approval of such proposed changes. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all vacant units to be made rent-ready and available for occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement and shall cause all appliances in all vacant units to be clean and in working order (the “Appliance Standards”). Buyer shall receive a credit of Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($750.00) for each unit that became vacant on a date that is seven (7) or more days prior to Closing and that is not rent-ready (as reasonably determined by Buyer based on standards customary in the industry) and available for occupancy as of the day of Closing, provided that such $750.00 shall not include any costs to cause the appliances to meet the Appliance Standards.

14.2   Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller’s failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.

     
ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS
15.1
  Buyer’s Assignment.
 
   

  (a)   Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the transfer of stock in a publicly traded company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.1(a) to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, to a Registered Company (as defined in Section 15.20) or another entity managed or controlled by Buyer or an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Buyer.

  (b)   Reserved.

  (c)   In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder:

  (i)   Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its request at least five (5) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of the valid legal existence of Buyer’s assignee, its qualification (if necessary) to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and of the authority of Buyer’s assignee to execute and deliver any and all documents required of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement; and

  (ii)   Buyer shall provide Seller any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee; and

  (iii)   Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee.

  (d)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

  (i)   Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Article 5, Article 9 and Article 10 hereof, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer.

  (ii)   No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement and no transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing.

15.2   Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:

  (a)   Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.

  (b)   Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.

  (c)   Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is 20-0305046.

  (d)   Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.

15.3   Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.

15.4   Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

15.5   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State in which the Property is located.

15.6   Captions Not Binding; Exhibits.

If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.9   Notices. Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed duly given or made at the time and on the date when received by facsimile or by e-mail (provided that the sender of such communication shall orally confirm receipt thereof by the appropriate parties) or when personally delivered as shown on a receipt therefor (which shall include delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service) or three (3) business days after being mailed by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for each party set forth below.

ARTICLE 3 — PURCHASE PRICE

In consideration of the sale of the Property to Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price, as prorated and adjusted as set forth in Article 6, Section 7.2, or as otherwise provided under this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

3.1   Earnest Money Deposit.

  3.1.1   Payment of Deposit. Upon the full and final execution of this Agreement and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the First Deposit with Escrow Agent. The First Deposit (i) shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be invested in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, (ii) shall be deemed earned by Seller upon Seller’s execution of the Sale Agreement, and (iii) shall be non-refundable to Buyer under all circumstances, save and except a default by Seller under this Agreement, a failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, or a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12. If Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as set forth in Section 5.3, Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the First Deposit to Seller without the need of any further action by Buyer or Seller. In addition, no later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (provided that this Agreement is not sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), and as a condition to the continued effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the Second Deposit with Escrow Agent. The Second Deposit shall be made in immediately available funds, shall be invested in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller and shall be non-refundable to Buyer (other than for a default by Seller under this Agreement, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12, or Buyer’s termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period). In addition, if Buyer elects to extend the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.1, Buyer shall deposit the Extension Deposit with Escrow Agent simultaneously with Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Extension Notice (as defined in Section 7.1) to Seller. Upon receipt of the Extension Deposit, Escrow Agent shall immediately pay the Deposit to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer without the need of any further action by Buyer or Seller and the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer (other than for a default by Seller under this Agreement, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2, a casualty or condemnation that results in a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 12).

  3.1.2   Applicable Terms; Failure to Make Deposit. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and shall otherwise be held and delivered by Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Article 13. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to timely make the Deposit as provided herein, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.2   Cash at Closing. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount equal to the balance of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer as more particularly set forth in Section 7.2, as prorated and adjusted as set forth in Article 6, Section 7.2, or as otherwise provided under this Agreement, and (b) cause the Escrow Agent to simultaneously pay the Deposit to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer as more particularly set forth in Section 7.2 if the Deposit was not previously released to Seller pursuant to Section 3.1.1.

ARTICLE 4 — TITLE MATTERS

4.1   Title to Real Property. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Title Commitment, copies of all of the Title Documents, and the Survey as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Buyer shall notify Seller when it receives any of the aforementioned documents and shall promptly furnish Seller copies of the same.

             
4.2   Title Defects.
     
 
    4.2.1     Buyer’s Objections to Title; Seller’s Obligations and Rights.
 
           

  (a)   Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions). In addition, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters which are not Permitted Exceptions and which materially adversely affect Buyer’s title to the Real Property that may first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period so long as such objection is made by Buyer within five (5) business days after Buyer becomes aware of the same (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date). Unless Buyer is entitled to and timely objects to such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions.

  (b)   To the extent that any Title Objections do not constitute Required Exceptions, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to Remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections. Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within five (5) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (c)   If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed any Required Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same. If Seller is unable to Remove any Required Exceptions prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the First Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Second Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (d)   Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any exceptions to title.

  4.2.2   No New Exceptions. From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not execute any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has received a true, correct and complete copy thereof and has approved the same in advance, in writing. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within five (5) business days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Closing.

4.3   Title Insurance. At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

ARTICLE 6 - ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS
The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing:
6.1
  Lease Rentals and Other Revenues.
 
   

  6.1.1   Rents. All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. Subject to Section 6.1.3 below, Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.

  6.1.2   Other Revenues. Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents (which shall be prorated as provided in Subsection 6.1.1), security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.6), and pre-paid installments or other payments under Contracts that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.

  6.1.3   Post-Closing Collections. After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller upon receipt; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., current Rents and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller. Buyer shall not have an exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Leases or other revenue due Seller with respect to the period prior to Closing, and Seller hereby retains its rights to pursue claims against any tenant under the Leases or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any percentage rent that may be due with respect to any period of time prior to Closing, regardless of when the same is to be paid to the owner of the Property pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease); provided, however, that with respect to any legal proceedings against any tenant under a Lease, Seller (a) shall be required to notify Buyer in writing of its intention to commence or pursue such legal proceedings; (b) shall only be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings after the date which is three (3) months after Closing; and (c) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

6.3   Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.

  6.3.1   Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall only prorate ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes for the Property that are actually due and payable during Closing Tax Year, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. There shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate or personal property taxes other than as set forth hereinabove and, as between Buyer and Seller, subject to this Section 6.3, Buyer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all such ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes due and payable after the Closing. Because ad valorem real estate taxes and personal property taxes are paid quarterly throughout the Closing Tax Year with the next such quarterly payment being due on December 31, 2007, the proration of the ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows:

  (a)   Seller shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 (the “Payment Period”), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365; and

  (b)   Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Payment Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Period subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.

  6.3.2   Insufficient Information. If, at Closing, the real estate and/or personal property tax rate and assessments have not been set for the taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, then the proration of such taxes shall be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding Tax Year, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer after Closing upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year differ from the amounts used at Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8.

     
6.3.3
  Special Assessments. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   
6.3.4
  Tenant Reimbursements. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   
6.3.5
  Reassessment. Intentionally Deleted.
 
   

6.4   Other Property Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the Property shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property to, but not including the Closing Date (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases) and Buyer shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer’s name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

6.5   Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (a) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy (including endorsements), (b) the cost of preparing the Survey, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) one-half of all escrow or closing charges, (e) the so-called “Grantee’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (f) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, and (g) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer. Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) the so-called “Grantor’s tax” applicable to the transfer of the Property, (ii) any bulk sales tax or personal property tax applicable to the transfer of the Property (iii) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (iv) all fees due its attorneys, and (v) all costs incurred in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Exceptions. The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

6.6   Cash Security Deposits. To the extent that Seller has collected from any tenant any deposits or fees in addition to security deposits (including, without limitation, pet fees), Seller shall retain any such deposits or fees that are non-refundable, and any refundable deposits or fees shall be transferred to Buyer in the form of a credit at Closing.

6.7   Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price.

6.8   Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6, as shown on the Closing Statement (as hereinafter defined) at Closing, shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of written proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before ninety (90) days after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”). In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to tenants in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

  9.2.2   Seller’s Knowledge Representations. To Seller’s knowledge:

  (d)   As of the date of this Agreement, the only tenants under signed leases at the Property are the tenants listed in Exhibit L attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Rent Roll”); provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended (and shall not be construed) as a representation by Seller of the parties that are in actual possession of any portion of the Property since there may be subtenants, licensees or assignees that are in possession of portions of the Property of which Seller may not be aware. An updated Rent Roll shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing.

  (e)   Except for violations cured or remedied on or before the date hereof and except as listed in Exhibit K attached hereto, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller has not received any written notice from any governmental authority of any violation of any Law applicable to the Property.

  (g)   The documents delivered or otherwise made available to Buyer prior to Closing (i) include all documents used by Seller in the day-to-day operations and management of the Property, and (ii) are the same documents used in connection with (A) the performance by Seller of its fiduciary obligations to its clients and investors, and (B) the preparation of financial statements and reports submitted to the clients and investors of Seller.

9.3   General Provisions.

  9.3.2   Seller’s Warranties Deemed Modified. To the extent that Buyer knows or is deemed to know prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that Seller’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Buyer’s knowledge or deemed knowledge, as the case may be.

  9.3.3   Breach of Seller’s Warranties prior to Closing

  (a)   If at or prior to the Closing, any Buyer’s Representative obtains actual knowledge that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). If at or prior to the Closing, Seller obtains actual knowledge that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Seller shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for the purpose of such cure.

  (b)   If any misrepresentation or breach of any of Seller’s Warranties is first discovered by Buyer after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but prior to Closing and Seller either does not elect to or is not able to so cure any such misrepresentation or breach, then Buyer, as its sole remedies for any and all such misrepresentations or breaches, shall have the following rights:

  (i)   If any of Seller’s Warranties are, individually or in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, then Buyer may elect either (A) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches and consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (B) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement.

  (ii)   If any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but are not, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.

  (c)   The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed material for purposes of this Section 9.3.3 and the rest of this Agreement only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed $50,000.00.

  9.3.4   Survival; Limitation on Seller’s Liability. Seller’s Warranties shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein for a period of ninety (90) days and Seller shall only be liable to Buyer hereunder for a breach of a Seller’s Warranty with respect to which a claim is made by Buyer against Seller on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the date of the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller for breaches of Seller’s Warranties shall be limited as set forth in Section 15.15 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Buyer may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the Transaction, as the result of any of Seller’s Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (a) Buyer knew or is deemed to know that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing, or (b) Buyer’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are reasonably estimated to aggregate less than $50,000.00.

  9.3.5   Disclosure. If and to the extent that Seller’s representations and warranties become inaccurate, untrue or incorrect to the current actual knowledge of the Designated Representatives, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing.

10.2   Seller’s Covenants. Seller hereby covenants as follows:
     
 
    10.2.1     Contracts.
 
           

  (a)   Without Buyer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller shall not extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify any Contract or enter into any new service contract or agreement unless such Contract, service contract or agreement (as so extended, renewed, replaced or modified) can be terminated by the owner of the Property without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice.

ARTICLE 11 — FAILURE OF CONDITIONS

11.1   To Seller’s Obligations. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s representations or warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages as its sole remedy hereunder, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction.

11.2   To Buyer’s Obligations. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller.

Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.

ARTICLE 12 — CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

12.1   Right to Terminate. If, after the date hereof, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining notice or knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the date hereof, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) business days after the receipt of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.2   Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the remainder of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing:

  (a)   if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller allocated Amounts; and

  (b)   to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within one (1) business day after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller.

Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, incurred in connection with obtaining payment of any awards or proceeds resulting from a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or incurred in connection with the negotiation and/or settlement of any casualty claim with an insurer with respect to the Property shall be paid Seller prior to the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Buyer) and be paid by Buyer after the Closing Date (without the right to seek reimbursement from Seller).

12.3   Insurance. Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.

12.4   Waiver. The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12.

ARTICLE 13 — ESCROW PROVISIONS

The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

  (a)   The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

  (b)   If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.

  (c)   If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection (c). If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after such party’s receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court.

  (d)   The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

  (e)   Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 33-0802019.

  (f)   The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.

ARTICLE 14 — LEASING MATTERS

14.1   New Leases; Lease Modifications. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall not change its current leasing or management practices without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller shall provide Buyer with information outlining any such proposed changes to such leasing or management practices, and Buyer shall have three (3) business days to provide written approval or disapproval of such proposed changes; provided, however, that failure of Buyer to respond within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed to constitute approval of such proposed changes. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all vacant units to be made rent-ready and available for occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement and shall cause all appliances in all vacant units to be clean and in working order (the “Appliance Standards”).

14.2   Lease Enforcement. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller’s failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to remove any tenant), and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Buyer to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Buyer.

     
ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS
15.1
  Buyer’s Assignment.
 
   

  (a)   Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the transfer of stock in a publicly traded company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.1(a) to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, to a Registered Company (as defined in Section 15.20) or another entity managed or controlled by Buyer or an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Buyer.

  (b)   Reserved.

  (c)   In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder:

  (i)   Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its request at least five (5) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name and structure of the proposed assignee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of the valid legal existence of Buyer’s assignee, its qualification (if necessary) to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and of the authority of Buyer’s assignee to execute and deliver any and all documents required of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement; and

  (ii)   Buyer shall provide Seller any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee; and

  (iii)   Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee.

  (d)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

  (i)   Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Article 5, Article 9 and Article 10 hereof, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer.

  (ii)   No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement and no transfers of direct or indirect interests in Buyer shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide documentation reasonably necessary or desirable for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing.

15.2   Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction.

(b) Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument.

2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at c/o Capmark Finance Inc., 116 Welsh Road, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attn: Servicing — Account Manager, or such other place as may be designated by Notice to Borrower from or on behalf of Lender.

3. Payments.

(a) During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Fixed Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note. During the Extension Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Adjustable Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.

(b) Interest under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the Fixed Interest Rate (during the Fixed Rate Period) or the applicable Adjustable Interest Rate (during the Extension Period), dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months). However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

(c) Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month shall be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears.

  (d)   (i) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2013, accrued interest only shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of each monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Subsection 3(d)(i) on an Installment Due Date shall vary, and shall equal $1,684.73 multiplied by the number of days in the month prior to the Installment Due Date.

  (ii)   Beginning on February 1, 2013, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Initial Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Subsection 3(d)(ii) on an Installment Due Date shall be Sixty One Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Five and 69/100 Dollars ($61,395.69).

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(e), all remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Initial Maturity Date. However, so long as (i) the Initial Maturity Date has not occurred prior to the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, and (ii) no Event of Default or event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default exists on the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, then the Extension Period automatically will become effective and the date for full payment of the Indebtedness automatically shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date. If the Extension Period becomes effective, monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only will be payable during the Extension Period as provided in Section 3(f). Anything in Section 21 of the Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Extension Period, Borrower will not request that Lender consent to, and Lender will not consent to, a Transfer that, absent such consent, would constitute an Event of Default.

(f) If the Extension Period becomes effective, beginning on February 1, 2018, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Extended Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(f) on an Installment Due Date shall be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date was to be fully amortized, together with interest thereon at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, in equal consecutive monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over the Remaining Amortization Period.

(g) During the Extension Period, Lender shall provide Borrower with Notice, given in the manner specified in the Security Instrument, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note. However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower shall pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received notice. If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender).

(h) All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

(i) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

(j) Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.

(k) In accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Adjustable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Adjustable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Adjustable Interest Rate at all times been in effect.

4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

7. Late Charge.

(a) If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender (i) during the Fixed Rate Period, within ten (10) days after the installment or other amount is due, or (ii) during the Extension Period, within five (5) days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount shall be substituted).

(b) Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.

8. Default Rate.

(a) So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for thirty (30) days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.

(b) From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.

(c) Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities; and (iii)  it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

9. Limits on Personal Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender’s only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall be Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower’s liability shall not limit or impair Lender’s enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of the Indebtedness or any guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower.

(b) Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base Recourse, plus any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9.

(c) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a further portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a result of the occurrence of any of the following events:

  (i)   Borrower fails to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument and the amount of all security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (i) if Borrower is unable to pay to Lender all Rents and security deposits as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

  (ii)   Borrower fails to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (ii) if Borrower is unable to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

  (iii)   Borrower fails to comply with Section 14(g) or (h) of the Security Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements, schedules and reports.

  (iv)   Borrower fails to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the Security Instrument the amount of any item below marked “Deferred”; provided however, that if no item is marked “Deferred”, this Section 9(c)(iv) shall be of no force or effect.

     
[Collect]
[Collect]
  Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums,
Taxes,

      [Deferred] water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property),  

[N/A] ground rents,

      [Deferred] assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property)  

(d) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for:

(i) the performance of all of Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to environmental matters);

(ii) the costs of any audit under Section 14(g) of the Security Instrument; and

(iii) any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of any amount for which Borrower is personally liable under this Section 9, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of conducting any independent audit of Borrower’s books and records to determine the amount for which Borrower has personal liability.

(e) All payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which Borrower has no personal liability.

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

(i) Borrower’s ownership of any property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of the Security Instrument;

(ii) a Transfer (including, but not limited to, a lien or encumbrance) that is an Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument, other than a Transfer consisting solely of the involuntary removal or involuntary withdrawal of a general partner in a limited partnership or a manager in a limited liability company; or

(iii) fraud or written material misrepresentation by Borrower or any officer, director, partner, member or employee of Borrower in connection with the application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any action or consent by Lender.

(g) To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower’s personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability.

10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

(a) Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note.

(b) Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, the term “Installment Due Date” shall mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in subsection (b) and meets the other requirements set forth in this subsection. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(e).

(e) Except as provided in Section 10(f), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium shall be whichever is the greater of subsections (A) and (B) below:

  (A)   1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or

  (B)   the product obtained by multiplying:

  (1)   the amount of principal being prepaid or accelerated,

by

  (2)   the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the Assumed Reinvestment Rate,

by

  (3)   the Present Value Factor.

For purposes of subsection (B), the following definitions shall apply:

Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the Fixed Interest Rate, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits.

Prepayment Date: in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date on which the prepayment is made; in the case of the application by Lender of collateral or security to a portion of the principal balance, the date of such application.

Assumed Reinvestment Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the yield rate, as of the date 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the Treasury Security, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits. In the event that no yield is published on the applicable date for the Treasury Security, Lender, in its discretion, shall select the non-callable Treasury Security maturing in the same year as the Treasury Security with the lowest yield published in The Wall Street Journal as of the applicable date. If the publication of such yield rates in The Wall Street Journal is discontinued for any reason, Lender shall select a security with a comparable rate and term to the Treasury Security. The selection of an alternate security pursuant to this Section shall be made in Lender’s discretion.

Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the costs resulting to Lender from the difference in interest rates during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period, using the Assumed Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate, with monthly compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

n = the number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period; provided, however, if a prepayment occurs on an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month in which such prepayment occurs and if such prepayment occurs on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month immediately following the date of such prepayment.

ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument.

(g) Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

(h) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions.

11. Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

12. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

13. Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness.

14. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.

15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

16. Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days.

17. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

18. Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.

19. Notices; Written Modifications.

(a) All Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 31 of the Security Instrument.

(b) Any modification or amendment to this Note shall be ineffective unless in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Security Instrument that requires Lender’s consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender’s consent.

20. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction.

21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

22. State-Specific Provisions. N/A

ATTACHED EXHIBIT. The Exhibit noted below, if marked with an “X” in the space provided, is attached to this Note:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and in consideration of the Lender’s agreement to lend Borrower the principal amount set forth above, Borrower has signed and delivered this Note under seal or has caused this Note to be signed and delivered under seal by its duly authorized representative.

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to prepare and file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest and Borrower agrees, if Lender so requests, to execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments. Borrower shall pay all filing costs and all costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements and/or amendments that Lender may require. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or permit to exist any other lien or security interest in any of the UCC Collateral.

(b) Unless Borrower gives Notice to Lender within 30 days after the occurrence of any of the following, and executes and delivers to Lender modifications or supplements of this Instrument (and any financing statement which may be filed in connection with this Instrument) as Lender may require, Borrower shall not (i) change its name, identity, structure or jurisdiction of organization; (ii) change the location of its place of business (or chief executive office if more than one place of business); or (iii) add to or change any location at which any of the Mortgaged Property is stored, held or located.

(d) This Instrument constitutes a financing statement with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture, if permitted by applicable law.

3. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Rents shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on Rents in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender and to apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents shall automatically terminate and Lender shall without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled. At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, (i) Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender, (ii) no tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.

(c) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of Rents (other than an assignment of Rents securing any prior indebtedness that is being assigned to Lender, or paid off and discharged with the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note), that Borrower has not performed, and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Section 3, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any Rents for more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents. Borrower shall not collect or accept payment of any Rents more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents.

(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable. Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to Borrower’s solvency and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law. Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property. Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon the Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and shall deliver to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property and all security deposits and prepaid Rents. In the event Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

(e) If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under Section 3(d), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

(g) Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

4. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES; LEASES AFFECTING THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

(b) Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower shall have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases shall automatically terminate. Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.

(c) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and the Improvements. The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall not (i) be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease); (ii) be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

(d) Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, Lender immediately shall have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

(e) Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, deliver to Lender an executed copy of each residential Lease then in effect. All Leases for residential dwelling units shall be on forms approved by Lender, shall be for initial terms of at least six months and not more than two years, and shall not include options to purchase. If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, association or other validly organized entity under municipal, county, state or federal law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, so long as Borrower is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender hereby consents to the execution of leases of apartments for a term in excess of two years from Borrower to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, to the surrender or termination of such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where the Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of the Borrower. However, no consent is hereby given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terms that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

(f) Borrower shall not lease any portion of the Mortgaged Property for non-residential use except with the prior written consent of Lender and Lender’s prior written approval of the Lease agreement. Borrower shall not modify the terms of, or extend or terminate, any Lease for non-residential use (including any Lease in existence on the date of this Instrument) without the prior written consent of Lender. However, Lender’s consent shall not be required for the modification or extension of a non-residential Lease if such modification or extension is on terms at least as favorable to Borrower as those customary at that time in the applicable market and the income from the extended or modified Lease will not be less than the income received from the Lease as of the date of this Instrument. Borrower shall, without request by Lender, deliver an executed copy of each non-residential Lease to Lender promptly after such Lease is signed. All non-residential Leases, including renewals or extensions of existing Leases, shall specifically provide that (i) such Leases are subordinate to the lien of this Instrument; (ii) the tenant shall attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, such attornment to be self-executing and effective upon acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property by any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or by Lender in any manner; (iii) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale may from time to time request; (iv) the Lease shall not be terminated by foreclosure or any other transfer of the Mortgaged Property; (v) after a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or any other purchaser at such foreclosure sale may, at Lender’s or such purchaser’s option, accept or terminate such Lease; and (vi) the tenant shall, upon receipt after the occurrence of an Event of Default of a written request from Lender, pay all Rents payable under the Lease to Lender.

(g) Borrower shall not receive or accept Rent under any Lease (whether residential or non-residential) for more than two months in advance.

5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS; PERFORMANCE UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Borrower shall pay the Indebtedness when due in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents and shall perform, observe and comply with all other provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

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

7. DEPOSITS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.

(a) Unless this requirement is waived in writing by Lender, which waiver may be contained in this Section 7(a), Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the day monthly installments of principal or interest, or both, are due under the Note (or on another day designated in writing by Lender), until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an additional amount sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required to pay, when due, the items marked “Collect” below. Lender will not require the Borrower to make Imposition Deposits with respect to the items marked “Deferred” below.

      [Collect] Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums required by Lender under Section 19,  

[Collect] Taxes,

      [Deferred] water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property),  

[N/A] ground rents,

      [Deferred] assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property)  

The amounts deposited under the preceding sentence are collectively referred to in this Instrument as the “Imposition Deposits.” The obligations of Borrower for which the Imposition Deposits are required are collectively referred to in this Instrument as “Impositions.” The amount of the Imposition Deposits shall be sufficient to enable Lender to pay each Imposition before the last date upon which such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added. Lender shall maintain records indicating how much of the monthly Imposition Deposits and how much of the aggregate Imposition Deposits held by Lender are held for the purpose of paying Taxes, insurance premiums and each other Imposition.

(b) Imposition Deposits shall be held in an institution (which may be Lender, if Lender is such an institution) whose deposits or accounts are insured or guaranteed by a federal agency. Lender shall not be obligated to open additional accounts or deposit Imposition Deposits in additional institutions when the amount of the Imposition Deposits exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. Lender shall apply the Imposition Deposits to pay Impositions so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless applicable law requires, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Imposition Deposits. As additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Lender a security interest in the Imposition Deposits and all proceeds of, and all interest and dividends on, the Imposition Deposits. Any amounts deposited with Lender under this Section 7 shall not be trust funds, nor shall they operate to reduce the Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose under Section 7(e).

(c) If Lender receives a bill or invoice for an Imposition, Lender shall pay the Imposition from the Imposition Deposits held by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to pay any Imposition to the extent it exceeds Imposition Deposits then held by Lender. Lender may pay an Imposition according to any bill, statement or estimate from the appropriate public office or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition.

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

(e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any Imposition Deposits, in any amounts and in any order as Lender determines, in Lender’s discretion, to pay any Impositions or as a credit against the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender shall refund to Borrower any Imposition Deposits held by Lender.

(f) If Lender does not collect an Imposition Deposit with respect to an Imposition either marked “Deferred” in Section 7(a) or pursuant to a separate written waiver by Lender, then on or before the date each such Imposition is due, or on the date this Instrument requires each such Imposition to be paid, Borrower must provide Lender with proof of payment of each such Imposition for which Lender does not require collection of Imposition Deposits. Lender may revoke its deferral or waiver and require Borrower to deposit with Lender any or all of the Imposition Deposits listed in Section 7(a), regardless of whether any such item is marked “Deferred” in such section, upon Notice to Borrower, (i) if Borrower does not timely pay any of the Impositions, (ii) if Borrower fails to provide timely proof to Lender of such payment, or (iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default.

(g) In the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, Lender’s waiver of the collection of any Imposition Deposit in this Section 7 may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s) as a condition of Lender’s approval of such Transfer.

8. COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall deposit with Lender such amounts as may be required by any Collateral Agreement and shall perform all other obligations of Borrower under each Collateral Agreement.

9. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the Note shall remain unchanged.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority and all recorded lawful covenants and agreements relating to or affecting the Mortgaged Property, including all laws, ordinances, regulations, requirements and covenants pertaining to health and safety, construction of improvements on the Mortgaged Property, fair housing, disability accommodation, zoning and land use, and Leases. Borrower also shall comply with all applicable laws that pertain to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits. Borrower shall at all times maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section 10. Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent, and shall not engage in or knowingly permit, any illegal activities at the Mortgaged Property that could endanger tenants or visitors, result in damage to the Mortgaged Property, result in forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property, or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be purchased with the proceeds of any illegal activity.

11. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law, Borrower shall not (a) allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is being used at the time this Instrument was executed, except for any change in use approved by Lender, (b) convert any individual dwelling units or common areas to commercial use, (c) initiate a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property or acquiesce without Notice to and consent of Lender in a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property, (d) establish any condominium or cooperative regime with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (e) combine all or any part of the Mortgaged Property with all or any part of a tax parcel which is not part of the Mortgaged Property, or (f) subdivide or otherwise split any tax parcel constituting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of Lender.

12. PROTECTION OF LENDER’S SECURITY; INSTRUMENT SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES.

(a) If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including (i) payment of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, (ii) payment of fees and out-of-pocket expenses of accountants, inspectors and consultants, (iii) entry upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property, (iv) procurement of the insurance required by Section 19, and (v) payment of amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under Sections 15 and 17.

(b) Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 12, or under any other provision of this Instrument that treats such disbursement as being made under this Section 12, shall be secured by this Instrument, shall be added to, and become part of, the principal component of the Indebtedness, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the “Default Rate,” as defined in the Note.

(c) Nothing in this Section 12 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

13. INSPECTION.

(a) Lender, its agents, representatives, and designees may make or cause to be made entries upon and inspections of the Mortgaged Property (including environmental inspections and tests) during normal business hours, or at any other reasonable time, upon reasonable notice to Borrower if the inspection is to include occupied residential units (which notice need not be in writing). Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) If Lender determines that Mold has developed as a result of a water intrusion event or leak, Lender, at Lender’s discretion, may require that a professional inspector inspect the Mortgaged Property as frequently as Lender determines is necessary until any issue with Mold and its cause(s) are resolved to Lender’s satisfaction. Such inspection shall be limited to a visual and olfactory inspection of the area that has experienced the Mold, water intrusion event or leak. Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of such professional inspection and any remediation deemed to be necessary as a result of the professional inspection. After any issue with Mold, water intrusion or leaks is remedied to Lender’s satisfaction, Lender shall not require a professional inspection any more frequently than once every three years unless Lender is otherwise aware of Mold as a result of a subsequent water intrusion event or leak.

(c) If Lender or Loan Servicer determines not to conduct an annual inspection of the Mortgaged Property, and in lieu thereof Lender requests a certification, Borrower shall be prepared to provide and must actually provide to Lender a factually correct certification each year that the annual inspection is waived to the following effect:

Borrower has not received any written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication from tenants, management agent or governmental authorities regarding odors, indoor air quality, mold, fungus, microbial contamination or pathogenic organisms (“Mold”) or any activity, condition, event or omission that causes or facilitates the growth of Mold on or in any part of the Mortgaged Property or if Borrower has received any such written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication that Borrower has investigated and determined that no Mold activity, condition or event exists or alternatively has fully and properly remediated such activity, condition, event or omission in compliance with the Moisture Management Plan for the Mortgaged Property.

If Borrower is unwilling or unable to provide such certification, Lender may require a professional inspection of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower’s expense.

14. BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL REPORTING.

(a) Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times at the Mortgaged Property or the management agent’s office, and upon Lender’s request shall make available at the Mortgaged Property (or, at Borrower’s option, at the management agent’s office), complete and accurate books of account and records (including copies of supporting bills and invoices) adequate to reflect correctly the operation of the Mortgaged Property, and copies of all written contracts, Leases, and other instruments which affect the Mortgaged Property. The books, records, contracts, Leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination and inspection by Lender at any reasonable time.

(b) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement of income and expenses for Borrower’s operation of the Mortgaged Property for that fiscal year, a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property for that fiscal year and, when requested by Lender, a balance sheet showing all assets and liabilities of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property as of the end of that fiscal year. If Borrower’s fiscal year is other than the calendar year, Borrower must also submit to Lender a year-end statement of income and expenses within 120 days after the end of the calendar year.

(c) Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, and at any other time, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may, upon written request to Borrower, require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

  (i)   a rent schedule for the Mortgaged Property showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable for the current month, the date through which rent has been paid, and any related information requested by Lender;

  (ii)   an accounting of all security deposits held pursuant to all Leases, including the name of the institution (if any) and the names and identification numbers of the accounts (if any) in which such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to access information regarding such accounts; and

  (iii)   a statement that identifies all owners of any interest in Borrower and any Controlling Entity and the interest held by each (unless Borrower or any Controlling Entity is a publicly-traded entity in which case such statement of ownership shall not be required), if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a corporation, all officers and directors of Borrower and the Controlling Entity, and if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a limited liability company, all managers who are not members.

(d) At any time upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

  (i)   a balance sheet, a statement of income and expenses for Borrower and a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower for Borrower’s most recent fiscal year;

  (ii)   a quarterly or year-to-date income and expense statement for the Mortgaged Property; and

  (iii)   a monthly property management report for the Mortgaged Property, showing the number of inquiries made and rental applications received from tenants or prospective tenants and deposits received from tenants and any other information requested by Lender.

(e) Upon Lender’s request at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall furnish to Lender monthly income and expense statements and rent schedules for the Mortgaged Property.

(f) An individual having authority to bind Borrower shall certify each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) to be complete and accurate. Each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) shall be in such form and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably require. Lender also may require that any of the statements, schedules or reports listed in Section 14(b) and 14(c)(i) and (ii) be audited at Borrower’s expense by independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or at any time that Lender, in its reasonable judgment, determines that audited financial statements are required for an accurate assessment of the financial condition of Borrower or of the Mortgaged Property.

(g) If Borrower fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through (e), Lender shall give Borrower Notice specifying the statements, schedules and reports required by Section 14(b) through (e) that Borrower has failed to provide. If Borrower has not provided the required statements, schedules and reports within 10 Business Days following such Notice, then Lender shall have the right to have Borrower’s books and records audited, at Borrower’s expense, by independent certified public accountants selected by Lender in order to obtain such statements, schedules and reports, and all related costs and expenses of Lender shall become immediately due and payable and shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(h) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall deliver to Lender upon written demand all books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property or its operation.

(i) Borrower authorizes Lender to obtain a credit report on Borrower at any time.

15. TAXES; OPERATING EXPENSES.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c) and Section 15(d), Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes when due and before the addition of any interest, fine, penalty or cost for nonpayment.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c), Borrower shall (i) pay the expenses of operating, managing, maintaining and repairing the Mortgaged Property (including utilities, repairs and replacements) before the last date upon which each such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added, and (ii) pay insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of each policy of insurance, unless applicable law specifies some lesser period.

(c) If Lender is collecting Imposition Deposits, to the extent that Lender holds sufficient Imposition Deposits for the purpose of paying a specific Imposition, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Imposition, so long as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has timely delivered to Lender any bills or premium notices that it has received. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise any rights Lender may have with respect to Imposition Deposits without regard to whether Impositions are then due and payable. Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for failing to pay any Impositions to the extent that (i) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) insufficient Imposition Deposits are held by Lender at the time an Imposition becomes due and payable or (iii) Borrower has failed to provide Lender with bills and premium notices as provided above.

(d) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Imposition other than insurance premiums, if (i) Borrower notifies Lender of the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) the Mortgaged Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, (iii) if Borrower has not already paid the Imposition, Borrower deposits with Lender reserves sufficient to pay the contested Imposition, if requested by Lender, and (iv) Borrower furnishes whatever additional security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested by Lender.

(e) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and invoices for, Impositions, and if Borrower pays any Imposition directly, Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or before the date this Instrument requires such Impositions to be paid, receipts evidencing that such payments were made.

16. LIENS; ENCUMBRANCES. Borrower acknowledges that, to the extent provided in Section 21, the grant, creation or existence of any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security interest or other lien or encumbrance (a “Lien”) on the Mortgaged Property (other than the lien of this Instrument) or on certain ownership interests in Borrower, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether or not such Lien has priority over the lien of this Instrument, is a “Transfer” which constitutes an Event of Default and subjects Borrower to personal liability under the Note.

17. PRESERVATION, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

(a) Borrower shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Property.

(b) Borrower shall not abandon the Mortgaged Property.

(c) Borrower shall restore or repair promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damaged part of the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, whether or not insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are available to cover any costs of such restoration or repair; however, Borrower shall not be obligated to perform such restoration or repair if (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Lender has elected to apply any available insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards to the payment of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 19(h)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), or pursuant to Section 20.

(d) Borrower shall keep the Mortgaged Property in good repair, including the replacement of Personalty and Fixtures with items of equal or better function and quality.

(e) Borrower shall provide for professional management of the Mortgaged Property by a residential rental property manager satisfactory to Lender at all times under a contract approved by Lender in writing, which contract must be terminable upon not more than 30 days notice without the necessity of establishing cause and without payment of a penalty or termination fee by Borrower or its successors.

(f) Borrower shall give Notice to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument. Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any tenant or other person to) remove, demolish or alter the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property, including any removal, demolition or alteration occurring in connection with a rehabilitation of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, except (i) in connection with the replacement of tangible Personalty, (ii) if Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, to the extent permitted with respect to individual dwelling units under the form of proprietary lease or occupancy agreement and (iii) repairs and replacements in connection with making an individual unit ready for a new occupant.

(g) Unless otherwise waived by Lender in writing, Borrower must have or must establish and must adhere to the MMP. If the Borrower is required to have an MMP, the Borrower must keep all MMP documentation at the Mortgaged Property or at the management agent’s office and available for the Lender or the Loan Servicer to review during any annual assessment or other inspection of the Mortgaged Property that is required by Lender.

18. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS.

(a) Except for matters described in Section 18(b), Borrower shall not cause or permit any of the following:

  (i)   the presence, use, generation, release, treatment, processing, storage (including storage in above ground and underground storage tanks), handling, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on or under the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property;

  (ii)   the transportation of any Hazardous Materials to, from, or across the Mortgaged Property;

  (iii)   any occurrence or condition on the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property, which occurrence or condition is or may be in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws;

  (v)   any violation or noncompliance with the terms of any O&M Program as defined in subsection (d).

The matters described in clauses (i) through (v) above, except as otherwise provided in Section 18(b), are referred to collectively in this Section 18 as “Prohibited Activities or Conditions.”

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

(d) As required by Lender, Borrower shall also have established a written operations and maintenance program with respect to certain Hazardous Materials. Each such operations and maintenance program and any additional or revised operations and maintenance programs established for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 18 must be approved by Lender and shall be referred to herein as an “O&M Program.” Borrower shall comply in a timely manner with, and cause all employees, agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other persons present on the Mortgaged Property to comply with each O&M Program. Borrower shall pay all costs of performance of Borrower’s obligations under any O&M Program, and Lender’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of each O&M Program and Borrower’s performance shall be paid by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Any such out-of-pocket costs of Lender that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

(e) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, except as previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing (which written disclosure may be in certain environmental assessments and other written reports accepted by Lender in connection with the funding of the Indebtedness and dated prior to the date of this Instrument):

  (i)   Borrower has not at any time engaged in, caused or permitted any Prohibited Activities or Conditions on the Mortgaged Property;

  (ii)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no Prohibited Activities or Conditions exist or have existed on the Mortgaged Property;

  (iii)   the Mortgaged Property does not now contain any underground storage tanks, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the Mortgaged Property has not contained any underground storage tanks in the past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Mortgaged Property that has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials Laws;

  (iv)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, Borrower has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements for notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws now in effect and all such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect;

  (v)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no event has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property that constitutes, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would constitute, noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental Permit;

  (vi)   there are no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involve the Mortgaged Property and allege, arise out of, or relate to any Prohibited Activity or Condition; and

  (vii)   Borrower has not received any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any Governmental Authority with regard to air emissions, water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.

(f) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

  (i)   Borrower’s discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

  (ii)   Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, management agent, Governmental Authority or other person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; or

  (iii)   Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 18.

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

(g) Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“Environmental Inspections”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Section 21, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. As long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender shall make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results to any third party of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of, the delivery of any of Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

(h) If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, restoration or other remedial work (“Remedial Work”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower shall, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and shall in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

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

(j) Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) Lender, (ii) any prior owner or holder of the Note, (iii) the Loan Servicer, (iv) any prior Loan Servicer, (v) the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and trustees of any of the foregoing, and (vi) the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnitees”) from and against all proceedings, claims, damages, penalties and costs (whether initiated or sought by Governmental Authorities or private parties), including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and remediation costs, whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from any of the following:

  (i)   any breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower in this Section 18;

  (ii)   any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Section 18;

  (iii)   the existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

  (iv)   the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on or under the Mortgaged Property or in any of the Improvements or on or under any property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; and

  (v)   the actual or alleged violation of any Hazardous Materials Law.

(k) Counsel selected by Borrower to defend Indemnitees shall be subject to the approval of those Indemnitees. In any circumstances in which the indemnity under this Section 18 applies, Lender may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. However, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the interests of Borrower and Lender are in conflict, as determined by Lender in its discretion, Lender shall permit Borrower to undertake the actions referenced in this Section 18 in accordance with this Section 18(k) and Section 18(l) so long as Lender approves such action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements entered into in good faith, consultants’ fees and Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

(l) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (a “Claim”), settle or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and adversely affect Lender, as determined by Lender in its discretion.

(m) Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

  (i)   any amendment or modification of any Loan Document;

  (ii)   any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document;

  (iii)   any provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender’s recourse to property securing the Indebtedness, or limiting the personal liability of Borrower or any other party for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness;

  (iv)   the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by Borrower under this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

  (v)   the release of Borrower or any other person, by Lender or by operation of law, from performance of any obligation under any Loan Document;

  (vi)   the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Indebtedness; and

  (vii)   Lender’s failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security for the Indebtedness.

(n) Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

  (i)   pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18;

  (ii)   reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18; and

  (iii)   reimburse Indemnitees for any and all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement by Indemnitees of their rights under this Section 18, or in monitoring and participating in any legal or administrative proceeding.

(o) The provisions of this Section 18 shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or under other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 18 without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligation of those persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of this Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 after the date of the release of record of the lien of this Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

19. PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE.

(a) Borrower shall keep the Improvements insured at all times against such hazards as Lender may from time to time require, which insurance shall include but not be limited to coverage against loss by fire and allied perils, general boiler and machinery coverage, rent loss and extra expense insurance. If Lender so requires, such insurance shall also include sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance, earthquake insurance, and, if the Mortgaged Property does not conform to applicable zoning or land use laws, building ordinance or law coverage. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s insurance requirements may change from time to time throughout the term of the Indebtedness. If any of the Improvements is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor to that agency) as an area having special flood hazards, Borrower shall insure such Improvements against loss by flood. All insurance required pursuant to this Section 19(a) shall be referred to as “Hazard Insurance.”

(b) All premiums on Hazard Insurance policies required under Section 19(a) shall be paid in the manner provided in Section 7, unless Lender has designated in writing another method of payment. All such policies shall also be in a form approved by Lender. All policies of property damage insurance shall include a non-contributing, non-reporting mortgage clause in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender. Lender shall have the right to hold the original policies or duplicate original policies of all Hazard Insurance required by Section 19(a). Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all renewal and other notices received by Borrower with respect to the policies and all receipts for paid premiums. At least 5 days prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that the policy has been renewed. If Borrower has not delivered the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy in a form satisfactory to Lender within 120 days after the expiration date of the original policy.

(c) Borrower shall maintain at all times commercial general liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and such other liability, errors and omissions and fidelity insurance coverages as Lender may from time to time require.

(d) All insurance policies and renewals of insurance policies required by this Section 19 shall be in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may from time to time require, and shall be issued by insurance companies satisfactory to Lender.

(e) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not permit any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property that would invalidate any part of any insurance coverage that this Instrument requires Borrower to maintain.

(f) In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Hazard Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Hazard Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Hazard Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 19 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Lender may, at Lender’s option, (i) require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring and repairing the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (the “Restoration”), or (ii) require an “actual cash value” settlement in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due. To the extent Lender determines to require a repair or replacement settlement and apply insurance proceeds to Restoration, Lender shall apply the proceeds in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the restoration of casualty damage on similar multifamily properties.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 19, as long as no Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing,

  (i)   in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost $10,000 or less to repair, the Borrower shall have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of the Lender so long as the insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property; and

  (ii)   in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost more than $10,000 but less than $50,000 to repair, the Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender shall hold the applicable insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and shall not apply such proceeds to the payment of sums due under this Instrument.

(h) Lender will have the right to exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness only if Lender determines that at least one of the following conditions is met:

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

  (ii)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that there will not be sufficient funds from insurance proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration;

  (iii)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that the rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will not be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, Imposition Deposits, deposits to reserves and loan repayment obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property;

  (iv)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that the Restoration will not be completed at least one year before the Maturity Date (or six months before the Maturity Date if Lender determines in its discretion that re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such six-month period); or

  (v)   Lender determines that the Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the loss or casualty.

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

(j) Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments.

(k) Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any insurance proceeds as Lender may require.

20. CONDEMNATION.

(a) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (a “Condemnation”). Borrower shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 20 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

(b) Lender may apply such awards or proceeds, after the deduction of Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) at Lender’s option, to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment of the Indebtedness, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

(b) any failure by Borrower to maintain the insurance coverage required by Section 19;

(c) any failure by Borrower to comply with the provisions of Section 33;

(d) fraud or material misrepresentation or material omission by Borrower, any of its officers, directors, trustees, general partners or managers or any guarantor in connection with (i) the application for or creation of the Indebtedness, (ii) any financial statement, rent schedule, or other report or information provided to Lender during the term of the Indebtedness, or (iii) any request for Lender’s consent to any proposed action, including a request for disbursement of funds under any Collateral Agreement;

(e) any failure to comply with the provisions of Section 20;

(f) any Event of Default under Section 21;

(g) the commencement of a forfeiture action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, which, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, could result in a forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property;

(h) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument (other than those specified in Sections 22(a) through (g)), as and when required, which continues for a period of 30 days after Notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower. However, if Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations as described in this Section 22(h) is of the nature that it cannot be cured within the 30 day grace period but reasonably could be cured within 90 days, then Borrower shall have additional time as determined by Lender in its discretion, not to exceed an additional 60 days, in which to cure such default, provided that Borrower has diligently commenced to cure such default during the 30-day grace period and diligently pursues the cure of such default. However, no such Notice or grace periods shall apply in the case of any such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Instrument, result in harm to Lender, impairment of the Note or this Instrument or any other security given under any other Loan Document;

(i) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations as and when required under any Loan Document other than this Instrument which continues beyond the applicable cure period, if any, specified in that Loan Document;

(j) any exercise by the holder of any other debt instrument secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt on the Mortgaged Property of a right to declare all amounts due under that debt instrument immediately due and payable;

(k) Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code or voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights, or an involuntary case is commenced against Borrower by any creditor (other than Lender) of Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights and is not dismissed or discharged within 90 days after filing; and

(l) any of Borrower’s representations and warranties in this Instrument is false or misleading in any material respect.

23. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order.

24. FORBEARANCE.

(a) Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) agree with Borrower, from time to time, and without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or having any effect upon the obligations of, any guarantor or other third party obligor, to take any of the following actions: extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; reduce the payments due under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; release anyone liable for the payment of any amounts under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; accept a renewal of the Note; modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness; join in any extension or subordination agreement; release any Mortgaged Property; take or release other or additional security; modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note; and otherwise modify this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document.

(b) Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 19 and 20 shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

25. LOAN CHARGES. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the Indebtedness. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

26. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document.

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

28. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements or amendments, transfers and assurances as Lender may require from time to time in order to better assure, grant, and convey to Lender the rights intended to be granted, now or in the future, to Lender under this Instrument and the Loan Documents.

29. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Within 10 days after a request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written statement, signed and acknowledged by Borrower, certifying to Lender or any person designated by Lender, as of the date of such statement, (i) that the Loan Documents are unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications); (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iii) the date to which interest under the Note has been paid; (iv) that Borrower is not in default in paying the Indebtedness or in performing or observing any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (or, if the Borrower is in default, describing such default in reasonable detail); (v) whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses known to Borrower against the enforcement of any right or remedy of Lender under the Loan Documents; and (vi) any additional facts requested by Lender.

30. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

(a) This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Land is located (the “Property Jurisdiction”).

(b) Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness, or any other Loan Document. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Section 30 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.

31. NOTICE.

(a) All Notices, demands and other communications (“Notice”) under or concerning this Instrument shall be in writing. Each Notice shall be addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in this Instrument, and shall be deemed given on the earliest to occur of (i) the date when the Notice is received by the addressee; (ii) the first Business Day after the Notice is delivered to a recognized overnight courier service, with arrangements made for payment of charges for next Business Day delivery; or (iii) the third Business Day after the Notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested.

(b) Any party to this Instrument may change the address to which Notices intended for it are to be directed by means of Notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 31. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or reject delivery of any Notice given in accordance with this Section 31, that it will acknowledge, in writing, the receipt of any Notice upon request by the other party and that any Notice rejected or refused by it shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 31 to have been received by the rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as conclusively established by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the courier service.

(c) Any Notice under the Note and any other Loan Document that does not specify how Notices are to be given shall be given in accordance with this Section 31.

32. SALE OF NOTE; CHANGE IN SERVICER; LOAN SERVICING. The Note or a partial interest in the Note (together with this Instrument and the other Loan Documents) may be sold one or more times without prior Notice to Borrower. A sale may result in a change of the Loan Servicer. There also may be one or more changes of the Loan Servicer unrelated to a sale of the Note. If there is a change of the Loan Servicer, Borrower will be given Notice of the change. All actions regarding the servicing of the loan evidenced by the Note, including the collection of payments, the giving and receipt of Notice, inspections of the Mortgaged Property, inspections of books and records, and the granting of consents and approvals, may be taken by the Loan Servicer unless Borrower receives Notice to the contrary. If Borrower receives conflicting Notices regarding the identity of the Loan Servicer or any other subject, any such Notice from Lender shall govern.

33. SINGLE ASSET BORROWER. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower (a) shall not own any real or personal property other than the Mortgaged Property and personal property related to the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property; (b) shall not operate any business other than the management and operation of the Mortgaged Property; and (c) shall not maintain its assets in a way difficult to segregate and identify.

34. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND. This Instrument shall bind, and the rights granted by this Instrument shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower. However, a Transfer not permitted by Section 21 shall be an Event of Default.

35. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity signs this Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several.

36. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.

(a) The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Instrument shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower.

(b) No creditor of any party to this Instrument and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) any arrangement (a “Servicing Arrangement”) between the Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds shall constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower shall not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

37. SEVERABILITY; AMENDMENTS. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Instrument shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Instrument contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Instrument. This Instrument may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, any or some or all of the Modifications to Instrument set forth in Exhibit B (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s).

38. CONSTRUCTION. The captions and headings of the Sections of this Instrument are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to an “Exhibit” or a “Section” shall, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an Exhibit attached to this Instrument or to a Section of this Instrument. All Exhibits attached to or referred to in this Instrument are incorporated by reference into this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to a statute or regulation shall be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time. Use of the singular in this Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. As used in this Instrument, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

39. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Lender may furnish information regarding Borrower or the Mortgaged Property to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, purchase or securitization of the Indebtedness, including but not limited to trustees, master servicers, special servicers, rating agencies, and organizations maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of multifamily mortgage loans. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy.

40. NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. Borrower warrants that (a) all information in the application for the loan submitted to Lender (the “Loan Application”) and in all financial statements, rent schedules, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan Application are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (b) there has been no material adverse change in any fact or circumstance that would make any such information incomplete or inaccurate.

41. SUBROGATION. If, and to the extent that, the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note are used to pay, satisfy or discharge any obligation of Borrower for the payment of money that is secured by a pre-existing mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property (a “Prior Lien”), such loan proceeds shall be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender shall automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

42. ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE — THIRD PARTY CAP AGREEMENT “CAP COLLATERAL.”

(a) If the Note provides for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the “Extension Period,” as defined in the Note, if applicable), then the definition of “Mortgaged Property” shall include the “Cap Collateral.” The “Cap Collateral” shall mean

  (i)   any interest rate cap agreement, interest rate swap agreement, or other interest rate-hedging contract or agreement obtained by Borrower as a requirement of any Loan Document or as a condition of Lender’s making the Loan (a “Cap Agreement”);

  (ii)   any and all moneys (collectively, “Cap Payments”) payable pursuant to any Cap Agreement by the interest rate cap provider or other counterparty to a Cap Agreement or any guarantor of the obligations of any such cap provider or counterparty (a “Cap Provider”);

  (iii)   all rights of Borrower under any Cap Agreement and all rights of Borrower to all Cap Payments, including contract rights and general intangibles, whether existing now or arising after the date of this Instrument;

  (iv)   all rights, liens and security interests or guaranties granted by a Cap Provider or any other person to secure or guaranty payment of any Cap Payment whether existing now or granted after the date of this Instrument;

  (v)   all documents, writings, books, files, records and other documents arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, whether existing now or created after the date of this Instrument; and

  (vi)   all cash and non-cash proceeds and products of (ii) – (v) above.

(b) As additional security for Borrower’s obligation under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby assigns and pledges to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Cap Collateral. Borrower has instructed and will instruct each Cap Provider and any guarantor of a Cap Provider’s obligations to make Cap Payments directly to Lender or to Loan Servicer on behalf of Lender.

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

(d) Following an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies Lender may have, Lender may retain any Cap Payments and apply them to the Indebtedness in such order and amounts as Lender determines. Neither the existence of a Cap Agreement nor anything in this Instrument shall relieve Borrower of its primary obligation to timely pay in full all amounts due under the Note and otherwise due on account of the Indebtedness.

(e) If the Note does not provide for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the Extension Period) then this Section 42 shall be of no force or effect.

43. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender, at Lender’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Virginia law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may exercise the power of sale granted by this Instrument without prior judicial hearing to the extent allowed by Virginia law. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert that an Event of Default does not exist or to raise any other defense Borrower may have to acceleration and sale. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys, including Lender’s in-house counsel, and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender or Trustee shall deliver a copy of a notice of sale to Borrower in the manner prescribed by Virginia law. Trustee shall give public notice of the sale in the manner prescribed by Virginia law and shall sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Virginia law. Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at public auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Virginia law. Lender or Lender’s designee may purchase the Mortgaged Property at any sale.

Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale, within a reasonable time after the sale, a deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold with special warranty of title. The recitals in Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made in the recitals. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order unless Virginia law recites a different order of distribution: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including Trustee’s fees in an amount prescribed by Virginia law, or if Trustee’s fees are not so prescribed, in an amount equal to 5 percent of the gross sale price, attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the discharge of all Taxes, if any, as provided by Virginia law; (c) to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, directs; and (d) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess, including, if any, the holders of liens inferior to this Instrument in the order of their priority, provided that Trustee has actual notice of such liens. Trustee shall not be required to take possession of the Mortgaged Property before the sale or to deliver possession of the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser at the sale.

44. RELEASE. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender shall request Trustee to release this Instrument and shall deliver the Note to Trustee. Trustee shall release this Instrument. Borrower shall pay Trustee’s reasonable costs incurred in releasing this Instrument.

45. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE. Lender may from time to time, in Lender’s discretion, remove Trustee and appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed under this Instrument. Without conveyance of the Mortgaged Property, the successor trustee shall succeed to all the title, power and duties conferred upon the predecessor Trustee and by applicable law.

46. STATUTORY PROVISIONS. The following provisions of Section 55-60, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, are made applicable to this Instrument:

Exemptions waived
Subject to all upon default
Renewal or extension permitted
Substitution of trustee permitted
Any trustee may act

47. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

The Heights at Olde Towne

GUARANTY
MULTISTATE
(for use in all Property jurisdictions except California)
REVISION DATE 05/06/2005

This Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is entered into to be effective as of December 21, 2007, by the undersigned person(s) (the “Guarantor” jointly and severally if more than one), for the benefit of CAPMARK BANK, a Utah industrial bank (the “Lender”).

RECITALS

A. G&E Apartment REIT The Heights at Olde Towne, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $10,475,000.00 (the “Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by a Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (the “Note”). The Note will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Deed to Secure Debt dated effective as of the effective date of the Note (the “Security Instrument”), encumbering the Mortgaged Property described in the Security Instrument.

B. As a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that the Guarantor execute this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1. Defined Terms. "Indebtedness,” “Loan Documents” and "Property Jurisdiction” and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Instrument.

2. Scope of Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:

  (i)   the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of each of the following:

  (A)   a portion of the Indebtedness equal to zero percent (0%) of the original principal balance of the Note (the “Base Guaranty”); and

  (B)   in addition to the Base Guaranty, all other amounts for which Borrower is personally liable under Sections 9(c), 9(d) and 9(f) of the Note; and

  (C)   all costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty; and

  (ii)   the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all of Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument.

(b) If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then (i) the Base Guaranty shall mean and include the full and complete guaranty of payment of the entire Indebtedness and the performance of all Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents; and (ii) for so long as the Base Guaranty remains in effect (there being no limit to the duration of the Base Guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty), the obligations guaranteed pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i)(B), 2(a)(i)(C) and Section 3 shall be part of, and not in addition to or in limitation of, the Base Guaranty.

If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is less than 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then this Section 2(b) shall be completely inapplicable and shall be treated as if not a part of this Guaranty.

(c) If Guarantor is not liable for the entire Indebtedness, then all payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (except this Guaranty) shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which neither Borrower nor Guarantor has personal liability.

3. Additional Guaranty Relating to Bankruptcy.

(a) Notwithstanding any limitation on liability provided for elsewhere in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the entire Indebtedness, in the event that:

  (i)   Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code; or

  (ii)   Borrower voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights; or

  (iii)   an order of relief is entered against Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or joined in by a “Related Party.”

(b) For purposes of this Section, the term “Related Party” means:

  (i)   Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (ii)   any person or entity that holds, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest in or right to manage Borrower or Guarantor, including without limitation, any shareholder, member or partner of Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (iii)   any person or entity in which any ownership interest (direct or indirect) or right to manage is held by Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (iv)   any other creditor of Borrower that is related by blood, marriage or adoption to Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor.

(c) If Borrower, Guarantor or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in this Section, regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding shall be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

4. Guarantor’s Obligations Survive Foreclosure. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security Instrument, and, in addition, the obligations of Guarantor relating to Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of or held title to the Mortgaged Property, Guarantor shall have no obligation under this Guaranty relating to Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument after the date of the release of record of the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the payment in full of the Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

5. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

6. No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be performed without demand by Lender and shall be unconditional regardless of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor;

(b) the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to a guarantor, a surety, a borrower or a mortgagor, and any other rights of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor under such statutes or laws;

(c) diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness;

(d) all rights to cause a marshalling of the Borrower’s assets or to require Lender to:

  (i)   proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower’s payment or performance under the Loan Documents (an “Other Guarantor”);

  (ii)   proceed against any general partner of Borrower or any Other Guarantor if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership;

  (iii)   proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness; or

  (iv)   pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower;

(e) any right to object to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender’s enforcement of its rights under any of the Loan Documents; and

(f) any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future advances by Lender under the terms of the Security Instrument to protect Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.

7. Modification of Loan Documents. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, Lender may:

(a) extend the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness or renew the Indebtedness in whole or in part;

(b) extend the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, or waive such performance or compliance;

(c) accelerate the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness as provided in the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document;

(d) with Borrower, modify or amend the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document in any respect, including, but not limited to, an increase in the principal amount; and/or

(e) modify, exchange, surrender or otherwise deal with any security for the Indebtedness or accept additional security that is pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness.

8. Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of Guarantor (and each party named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty) and any Other Guarantor shall be joint and several. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(a) bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, and any Other Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them;

(b) compromise or settle with Guarantor, any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;

(c) release one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, from liability; and

(d) otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9. Subordination of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Guarantor. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and shall be subordinated to the Indebtedness and Guarantor shall collect, enforce and receive any such indebtedness of Borrower as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

10. Waiver of Subrogation. Guarantor shall have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

11. Preference. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

12. Financial Statements. Guarantor, from time to time upon written request by Lender, shall deliver to Lender such financial statements as Lender may reasonably require.

13. Assignment. Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties, and the term “Lender” shall also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of the Note. Reference in this Guaranty to “person” or “persons” shall be deemed to include individuals and entities.

14. Complete and Final Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has received a copy of the Note and all other Loan Documents. Neither this Guaranty nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that writing.

15. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, without giving effect to the choice of law principles of the Property Jurisdiction that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Property Jurisdiction.

16. Jurisdiction; Venue. Guarantor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Guaranty may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction, and that the state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in relation to this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing herein is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Guaranty against Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets in any court of any other jurisdiction.

17. Guarantor’s Interest in Borrower. Guarantor represents to Lender that Guarantor has a direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Borrower and/or will otherwise derive a material financial benefit from the making of the Loan.

The Reference Bill Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the Money Market Yield for the Reference Bills as established by the Reference Bill auction conducted by Freddie Mac most recently preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. The “Reference Bill Index Page” is the Freddie Mac Debt Securities Web Page (accessed via the Freddie Mac internet site at www.freddiemac.com), or at the option of Lender, any publication of Reference Bills auction results available from Freddie Mac. However, if Freddie Mac has not conducted a Reference Bill auction within the 60-calendar day period prior to the first day of an Interest Adjustment Period, the Reference Bill Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period will be the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period.

"Remaining Amortization Period” means, at any point in time, the number of consecutive calendar months equal to the number of months in the Amortization Period minus the number of scheduled monthly installments of principal and interest that have elapsed since the date of this Note.

"Security Instrument” means the multifamily mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust effective as of the effective date of this Note, from Borrower to or for the benefit of Lender and securing this Note.

"Treasury Security” means the 9.125% U.S. Treasury Security due May 15, 2018.

"Window Period” means the Extension Period.

"Yield Maintenance Period” means the period from and including the date of this Note until but not including the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date.

(b) Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument.

2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at c/o Capmark Finance Inc., 116 Welsh Road, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attn: Servicing — Account Manager, or such other place as may be designated by Notice to Borrower from or on behalf of Lender.

3. Payments.

(a) During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Fixed Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note. During the Extension Period, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Adjustable Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.

(b) Interest under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the Fixed Interest Rate (during the Fixed Rate Period) or the applicable Adjustable Interest Rate (during the Extension Period), dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months). However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

(c) Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month shall be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears.

  (d)   (i) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on January 1, 2013, accrued interest only shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of each monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Subsection 3(d)(i) on an Installment Due Date shall vary, and shall equal $3,232.75 multiplied by the number of days in the month prior to the Installment Due Date.

  (ii)   Beginning on February 1, 2013, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Initial Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Subsection 3(d)(ii) on an Installment Due Date shall be One Hundred Seventeen Thousand Eight Hundred Nine and 39/100 Dollars ($117,809.39).

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(e), all remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Initial Maturity Date. However, so long as (i) the Initial Maturity Date has not occurred prior to the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, and (ii) no Event of Default or event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default exists on the Scheduled Initial Maturity Date, then the Extension Period automatically will become effective and the date for full payment of the Indebtedness automatically shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date. If the Extension Period becomes effective, monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only will be payable during the Extension Period as provided in Section 3(f). Anything in Section 21 of the Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Extension Period, Borrower will not request that Lender consent to, and Lender will not consent to, a Transfer that, absent such consent, would constitute an Event of Default.

(f) If the Extension Period becomes effective, beginning on February 1, 2018, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Extended Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(f) on an Installment Due Date shall be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date was to be fully amortized, together with interest thereon at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, in equal consecutive monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over the Remaining Amortization Period.

(g) During the Extension Period, Lender shall provide Borrower with Notice, given in the manner specified in the Security Instrument, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note. However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower shall pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received notice. If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender).

(h) All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

(i) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

(j) Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.

(k) In accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Adjustable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Adjustable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Adjustable Interest Rate at all times been in effect.

4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

7. Late Charge.

(a) If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender (i) during the Fixed Rate Period, within ten (10) days after the installment or other amount is due, or (ii) during the Extension Period, within five (5) days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount shall be substituted).

(b) Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.

8. Default Rate.

(a) So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for thirty (30) days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.

(b) From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.

(c) Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities; and (iii)  it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

9. Limits on Personal Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender’s only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall be Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower’s liability shall not limit or impair Lender’s enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of the Indebtedness or any guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower.

(b) Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base Recourse, plus any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9.

(c) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a further portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a result of the occurrence of any of the following events:

  (i)   Borrower fails to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument and the amount of all security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (i) if Borrower is unable to pay to Lender all Rents and security deposits as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

  (ii)   Borrower fails to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (ii) if Borrower is unable to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

  (iii)   Borrower fails to comply with Section 14(g) or (h) of the Security Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements, schedules and reports.

  (iv)   Borrower fails to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the Security Instrument the amount of any item below marked “Deferred”; provided however, that if no item is marked “Deferred”, this Section 9(c)(iv) shall be of no force or effect.

     
[Collect]
[Collect]
  Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums,
Taxes,

      [Deferred] water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property),  

[N/A] ground rents,

      [Deferred] assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property)  

(d) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for:

(i) the performance of all of Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to environmental matters);

(ii) the costs of any audit under Section 14(g) of the Security Instrument; and

(iii) any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of any amount for which Borrower is personally liable under this Section 9, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of conducting any independent audit of Borrower’s books and records to determine the amount for which Borrower has personal liability.

(e) All payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which Borrower has no personal liability.

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

(i) Borrower’s ownership of any property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of the Security Instrument;

(ii) a Transfer (including, but not limited to, a lien or encumbrance) that is an Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument, other than a Transfer consisting solely of the involuntary removal or involuntary withdrawal of a general partner in a limited partnership or a manager in a limited liability company; or

(iii) fraud or written material misrepresentation by Borrower or any officer, director, partner, member or employee of Borrower in connection with the application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any action or consent by Lender.

(g) To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower’s personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability.

10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

(a) Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note.

(b) Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, the term “Installment Due Date” shall mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in subsection (b) and meets the other requirements set forth in this subsection. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(e).

(e) Except as provided in Section 10(f), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium shall be whichever is the greater of subsections (A) and (B) below:

  (A)   1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or

  (B)   the product obtained by multiplying:

  (1)   the amount of principal being prepaid or accelerated,

by

  (2)   the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the Assumed Reinvestment Rate,

by

  (3)   the Present Value Factor.

For purposes of subsection (B), the following definitions shall apply:

Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the Fixed Interest Rate, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits.

Prepayment Date: in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date on which the prepayment is made; in the case of the application by Lender of collateral or security to a portion of the principal balance, the date of such application.

Assumed Reinvestment Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the yield rate, as of the date 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the Treasury Security, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits. In the event that no yield is published on the applicable date for the Treasury Security, Lender, in its discretion, shall select the non-callable Treasury Security maturing in the same year as the Treasury Security with the lowest yield published in The Wall Street Journal as of the applicable date. If the publication of such yield rates in The Wall Street Journal is discontinued for any reason, Lender shall select a security with a comparable rate and term to the Treasury Security. The selection of an alternate security pursuant to this Section shall be made in Lender’s discretion.

Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the costs resulting to Lender from the difference in interest rates during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period, using the Assumed Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate, with monthly compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

n = the number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period; provided, however, if a prepayment occurs on an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month in which such prepayment occurs and if such prepayment occurs on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period shall be calculated beginning with the month immediately following the date of such prepayment.

ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument.

(g) Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

(h) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions.

11. Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

12. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

13. Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness.

14. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.

15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

16. Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days.

17. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

18. Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.

19. Notices; Written Modifications.

(a) All Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 31 of the Security Instrument.

(b) Any modification or amendment to this Note shall be ineffective unless in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Security Instrument that requires Lender’s consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender’s consent.

20. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction.

21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

22. State-Specific Provisions. N/A

ATTACHED EXHIBIT. The Exhibit noted below, if marked with an “X” in the space provided, is attached to this Note:

MULTIFAMILY DEED OF TRUST,
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(VIRGINIA – REVISION DATE 05-11-2004)

THIS MULTIFAMILY DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “Instrument”) is made to be effective as of December 21, 2007, by G&E APARTMENT REIT THE MYRTLES AT OLDE TOWNE, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, whose address is c/o Triple Net Properties, LLC, 1606 Santa Rosa Road, Suite 109, Richmond, Virginia 23229, as grantor (“Borrower”), to MARK S.

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to prepare and file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest and Borrower agrees, if Lender so requests, to execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments.

Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or permit to exist any other lien or security interest in any of the UCC Collateral.

(d) This Instrument constitutes a financing statement with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture, if permitted by applicable law.

3. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Rents shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on Rents in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender and to apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents shall automatically terminate and Lender shall without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled. At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, (i) Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender, (ii) no tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.

(c) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of Rents (other than an assignment of Rents securing any prior indebtedness that is being assigned to Lender, or paid off and discharged with the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note), that Borrower has not performed, and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Section 3, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any Rents for more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents. Borrower shall not collect or accept payment of any Rents more than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents.

(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable. Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to Borrower’s solvency and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law. Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property. Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon the Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and shall deliver to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property and all security deposits and prepaid Rents. In the event Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

(e) If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under Section 3(d), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

(g) Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

4. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES; LEASES AFFECTING THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases shall be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

(b) Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower shall have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases shall automatically terminate. Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.

(c) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and the Improvements. The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall not (i) be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease); (ii) be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

(d) Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, Lender immediately shall have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

(e) Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, deliver to Lender an executed copy of each residential Lease then in effect. All Leases for residential dwelling units shall be on forms approved by Lender, shall be for initial terms of at least six months and not more than two years, and shall not include options to purchase. If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, association or other validly organized entity under municipal, county, state or federal law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, so long as Borrower is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender hereby consents to the execution of leases of apartments for a term in excess of two years from Borrower to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, to the surrender or termination of such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where the Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of the Borrower. However, no consent is hereby given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terms that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

(f) Borrower shall not lease any portion of the Mortgaged Property for non-residential use except with the prior written consent of Lender and Lender’s prior written approval of the Lease agreement. Borrower shall not modify the terms of, or extend or terminate, any Lease for non-residential use (including any Lease in existence on the date of this Instrument) without the prior written consent of Lender. However, Lender’s consent shall not be required for the modification or extension of a non-residential Lease if such modification or extension is on terms at least as favorable to Borrower as those customary at that time in the applicable market and the income from the extended or modified Lease will not be less than the income received from the Lease as of the date of this Instrument. Borrower shall, without request by Lender, deliver an executed copy of each non-residential Lease to Lender promptly after such Lease is signed. All non-residential Leases, including renewals or extensions of existing Leases, shall specifically provide that (i) such Leases are subordinate to the lien of this Instrument; (ii) the tenant shall attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, such attornment to be self-executing and effective upon acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property by any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or by Lender in any manner; (iii) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale may from time to time request; (iv) the Lease shall not be terminated by foreclosure or any other transfer of the Mortgaged Property; (v) after a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or any other purchaser at such foreclosure sale may, at Lender’s or such purchaser’s option, accept or terminate such Lease; and (vi) the tenant shall, upon receipt after the occurrence of an Event of Default of a written request from Lender, pay all Rents payable under the Lease to Lender.

(g) Borrower shall not receive or accept Rent under any Lease (whether residential or non-residential) for more than two months in advance.

5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS; PERFORMANCE UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Borrower shall pay the Indebtedness when due in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents and shall perform, observe and comply with all other provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

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

7. DEPOSITS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.

(a) Unless this requirement is waived in writing by Lender, which waiver may be contained in this Section 7(a), Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the day monthly installments of principal or interest, or both, are due under the Note (or on another day designated in writing by Lender), until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an additional amount sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required to pay, when due, the items marked “Collect” below.

The amounts deposited under the preceding sentence are collectively referred to in this Instrument as the “Imposition Deposits.” The obligations of Borrower for which the Imposition Deposits are required are collectively referred to in this Instrument as “Impositions.” The amount of the Imposition Deposits shall be sufficient to enable Lender to pay each Imposition before the last date upon which such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added. Lender shall maintain records indicating how much of the monthly Imposition Deposits and how much of the aggregate Imposition Deposits held by Lender are held for the purpose of paying Taxes, insurance premiums and each other Imposition.

(b) Imposition Deposits shall be held in an institution (which may be Lender, if Lender is such an institution) whose deposits or accounts are insured or guaranteed by a federal agency. Lender shall not be obligated to open additional accounts or deposit Imposition Deposits in additional institutions when the amount of the Imposition Deposits exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. Lender shall apply the Imposition Deposits to pay Impositions so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless applicable law requires, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Imposition Deposits. As additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Lender a security interest in the Imposition Deposits and all proceeds of, and all interest and dividends on, the Imposition Deposits. Any amounts deposited with Lender under this Section 7 shall not be trust funds, nor shall they operate to reduce the Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose under Section 7(e).

(c) If Lender receives a bill or invoice for an Imposition, Lender shall pay the Imposition from the Imposition Deposits held by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to pay any Imposition to the extent it exceeds Imposition Deposits then held by Lender. Lender may pay an Imposition according to any bill, statement or estimate from the appropriate public office or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition.

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

(e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any Imposition Deposits, in any amounts and in any order as Lender determines, in Lender’s discretion, to pay any Impositions or as a credit against the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender shall refund to Borrower any Imposition Deposits held by Lender.

(f) If Lender does not collect an Imposition Deposit with respect to an Imposition either marked “Deferred” in Section 7(a) or pursuant to a separate written waiver by Lender, then on or before the date each such Imposition is due, or on the date this Instrument requires each such Imposition to be paid, Borrower must provide Lender with proof of payment of each such Imposition for which Lender does not require collection of Imposition Deposits. Lender may revoke its deferral or waiver and require Borrower to deposit with Lender any or all of the Imposition Deposits listed in Section 7(a), regardless of whether any such item is marked “Deferred” in such section, upon Notice to Borrower, (i) if Borrower does not timely pay any of the Impositions, (ii) if Borrower fails to provide timely proof to Lender of such payment, or (iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default.

(g) In the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, Lender’s waiver of the collection of any Imposition Deposit in this Section 7 may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s) as a condition of Lender’s approval of such Transfer.

8. COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall deposit with Lender such amounts as may be required by any Collateral Agreement and shall perform all other obligations of Borrower under each Collateral Agreement.

9. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument and the Note shall remain unchanged.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority and all recorded lawful covenants and agreements relating to or affecting the Mortgaged Property, including all laws, ordinances, regulations, requirements and covenants pertaining to health and safety, construction of improvements on the Mortgaged Property, fair housing, disability accommodation, zoning and land use, and Leases. Borrower also shall comply with all applicable laws that pertain to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits. Borrower shall at all times maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section 10. Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent, and shall not engage in or knowingly permit, any illegal activities at the Mortgaged Property that could endanger tenants or visitors, result in damage to the Mortgaged Property, result in forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property, or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be purchased with the proceeds of any illegal activity.

11. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law, Borrower shall not (a) allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is being used at the time this Instrument was executed, except for any change in use approved by Lender, (b) convert any individual dwelling units or common areas to commercial use, (c) initiate a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property or acquiesce without Notice to and consent of Lender in a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property, (d) establish any condominium or cooperative regime with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (e) combine all or any part of the Mortgaged Property with all or any part of a tax parcel which is not part of the Mortgaged Property, or (f) subdivide or otherwise split any tax parcel constituting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of Lender.

12. PROTECTION OF LENDER’S SECURITY; INSTRUMENT SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES.

(a) If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including (i) payment of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, (ii) payment of fees and out-of-pocket expenses of accountants, inspectors and consultants, (iii) entry upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property, (iv) procurement of the insurance required by Section 19, and (v) payment of amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under Sections 15 and 17.

(b) Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 12, or under any other provision of this Instrument that treats such disbursement as being made under this Section 12, shall be secured by this Instrument, shall be added to, and become part of, the principal component of the Indebtedness, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the “Default Rate,” as defined in the Note.

(c) Nothing in this Section 12 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

13. INSPECTION.

(a) Lender, its agents, representatives, and designees may make or cause to be made entries upon and inspections of the Mortgaged Property (including environmental inspections and tests) during normal business hours, or at any other reasonable time, upon reasonable notice to Borrower if the inspection is to include occupied residential units (which notice need not be in writing). Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) If Lender determines that Mold has developed as a result of a water intrusion event or leak, Lender, at Lender’s discretion, may require that a professional inspector inspect the Mortgaged Property as frequently as Lender determines is necessary until any issue with Mold and its cause(s) are resolved to Lender’s satisfaction. Such inspection shall be limited to a visual and olfactory inspection of the area that has experienced the Mold, water intrusion event or leak. Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of such professional inspection and any remediation deemed to be necessary as a result of the professional inspection. After any issue with Mold, water intrusion or leaks is remedied to Lender’s satisfaction, Lender shall not require a professional inspection any more frequently than once every three years unless Lender is otherwise aware of Mold as a result of a subsequent water intrusion event or leak.

(c) If Lender or Loan Servicer determines not to conduct an annual inspection of the Mortgaged Property, and in lieu thereof Lender requests a certification, Borrower shall be prepared to provide and must actually provide to Lender a factually correct certification each year that the annual inspection is waived to the following effect:

Borrower has not received any written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication from tenants, management agent or governmental authorities regarding odors, indoor air quality, mold, fungus, microbial contamination or pathogenic organisms (“Mold”) or any activity, condition, event or omission that causes or facilitates the growth of Mold on or in any part of the Mortgaged Property or if Borrower has received any such written complaint, notice, letter or other written communication that Borrower has investigated and determined that no Mold activity, condition or event exists or alternatively has fully and properly remediated such activity, condition, event or omission in compliance with the Moisture Management Plan for the Mortgaged Property.

If Borrower is unwilling or unable to provide such certification, Lender may require a professional inspection of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower’s expense.

14. BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL REPORTING.

(a) Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times at the Mortgaged Property or the management agent’s office, and upon Lender’s request shall make available at the Mortgaged Property (or, at Borrower’s option, at the management agent’s office), complete and accurate books of account and records (including copies of supporting bills and invoices) adequate to reflect correctly the operation of the Mortgaged Property, and copies of all written contracts, Leases, and other instruments which affect the Mortgaged Property. The books, records, contracts, Leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination and inspection by Lender at any reasonable time.

(b) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement of income and expenses for Borrower’s operation of the Mortgaged Property for that fiscal year, a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property for that fiscal year and, when requested by Lender, a balance sheet showing all assets and liabilities of Borrower relating to the Mortgaged Property as of the end of that fiscal year. If Borrower’s fiscal year is other than the calendar year, Borrower must also submit to Lender a year-end statement of income and expenses within 120 days after the end of the calendar year.

(c) Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, and at any other time, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may, upon written request to Borrower, require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

  (i)   a rent schedule for the Mortgaged Property showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable for the current month, the date through which rent has been paid, and any related information requested by Lender;

  (ii)   an accounting of all security deposits held pursuant to all Leases, including the name of the institution (if any) and the names and identification numbers of the accounts (if any) in which such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to access information regarding such accounts; and

  (iii)   a statement that identifies all owners of any interest in Borrower and any Controlling Entity and the interest held by each (unless Borrower or any Controlling Entity is a publicly-traded entity in which case such statement of ownership shall not be required), if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a corporation, all officers and directors of Borrower and the Controlling Entity, and if Borrower or a Controlling Entity is a limited liability company, all managers who are not members.

(d) At any time upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender each of the following. However, Lender shall not require any of the following more frequently than quarterly except when there has been an Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender may require Borrower to furnish any of the following more frequently:

  (i)   a balance sheet, a statement of income and expenses for Borrower and a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower for Borrower’s most recent fiscal year;

  (ii)   a quarterly or year-to-date income and expense statement for the Mortgaged Property; and

  (iii)   a monthly property management report for the Mortgaged Property, showing the number of inquiries made and rental applications received from tenants or prospective tenants and deposits received from tenants and any other information requested by Lender.

(e) Upon Lender’s request at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall furnish to Lender monthly income and expense statements and rent schedules for the Mortgaged Property.

(f) An individual having authority to bind Borrower shall certify each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) to be complete and accurate. Each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through 14(e) shall be in such form and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably require. Lender also may require that any of the statements, schedules or reports listed in Section 14(b) and 14(c)(i) and (ii) be audited at Borrower’s expense by independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or at any time that Lender, in its reasonable judgment, determines that audited financial statements are required for an accurate assessment of the financial condition of Borrower or of the Mortgaged Property.

(g) If Borrower fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules and reports required by Sections 14(b) through (e), Lender shall give Borrower Notice specifying the statements, schedules and reports required by Section 14(b) through (e) that Borrower has failed to provide. If Borrower has not provided the required statements, schedules and reports within 10 Business Days following such Notice, then Lender shall have the right to have Borrower’s books and records audited, at Borrower’s expense, by independent certified public accountants selected by Lender in order to obtain such statements, schedules and reports, and all related costs and expenses of Lender shall become immediately due and payable and shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. Notice to Borrower shall not be required in the case of an emergency, as determined in Lender’s discretion, or when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(h) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall deliver to Lender upon written demand all books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property or its operation.

(i) Borrower authorizes Lender to obtain a credit report on Borrower at any time.

15. TAXES; OPERATING EXPENSES.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c) and Section 15(d), Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes when due and before the addition of any interest, fine, penalty or cost for nonpayment.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c), Borrower shall (i) pay the expenses of operating, managing, maintaining and repairing the Mortgaged Property (including utilities, repairs and replacements) before the last date upon which each such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added, and (ii) pay insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of each policy of insurance, unless applicable law specifies some lesser period.

(c) If Lender is collecting Imposition Deposits, to the extent that Lender holds sufficient Imposition Deposits for the purpose of paying a specific Imposition, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Imposition, so long as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has timely delivered to Lender any bills or premium notices that it has received. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise any rights Lender may have with respect to Imposition Deposits without regard to whether Impositions are then due and payable. Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for failing to pay any Impositions to the extent that (i) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) insufficient Imposition Deposits are held by Lender at the time an Imposition becomes due and payable or (iii) Borrower has failed to provide Lender with bills and premium notices as provided above.

(d) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Imposition other than insurance premiums, if (i) Borrower notifies Lender of the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) the Mortgaged Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, (iii) if Borrower has not already paid the Imposition, Borrower deposits with Lender reserves sufficient to pay the contested Imposition, if requested by Lender, and (iv) Borrower furnishes whatever additional security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested by Lender.

(e) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and invoices for, Impositions, and if Borrower pays any Imposition directly, Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or before the date this Instrument requires such Impositions to be paid, receipts evidencing that such payments were made.

16. LIENS; ENCUMBRANCES. Borrower acknowledges that, to the extent provided in Section 21, the grant, creation or existence of any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security interest or other lien or encumbrance (a “Lien”) on the Mortgaged Property (other than the lien of this Instrument) or on certain ownership interests in Borrower, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether or not such Lien has priority over the lien of this Instrument, is a “Transfer” which constitutes an Event of Default and subjects Borrower to personal liability under the Note.

17. PRESERVATION, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

(a) Borrower shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Property.

(b) Borrower shall not abandon the Mortgaged Property.

(c) Borrower shall restore or repair promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damaged part of the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, whether or not insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are available to cover any costs of such restoration or repair; however, Borrower shall not be obligated to perform such restoration or repair if (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Lender has elected to apply any available insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards to the payment of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 19(h)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), or pursuant to Section 20.

(d) Borrower shall keep the Mortgaged Property in good repair, including the replacement of Personalty and Fixtures with items of equal or better function and quality.

(e) Borrower shall provide for professional management of the Mortgaged Property by a residential rental property manager satisfactory to Lender at all times under a contract approved by Lender in writing, which contract must be terminable upon not more than 30 days notice without the necessity of establishing cause and without payment of a penalty or termination fee by Borrower or its successors.

(f) Borrower shall give Notice to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument. Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any tenant or other person to) remove, demolish or alter the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property, including any removal, demolition or alteration occurring in connection with a rehabilitation of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, except (i) in connection with the replacement of tangible Personalty, (ii) if Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation, to the extent permitted with respect to individual dwelling units under the form of proprietary lease or occupancy agreement and (iii) repairs and replacements in connection with making an individual unit ready for a new occupant.

(g) Unless otherwise waived by Lender in writing, Borrower must have or must establish and must adhere to the MMP. If the Borrower is required to have an MMP, the Borrower must keep all MMP documentation at the Mortgaged Property or at the management agent’s office and available for the Lender or the Loan Servicer to review during any annual assessment or other inspection of the Mortgaged Property that is required by Lender.

18. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS.

(a) Except for matters described in Section 18(b), Borrower shall not cause or permit any of the following:

  (i)   the presence, use, generation, release, treatment, processing, storage (including storage in above ground and underground storage tanks), handling, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on or under the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property;

  (ii)   the transportation of any Hazardous Materials to, from, or across the Mortgaged Property;

  (iii)   any occurrence or condition on the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property, which occurrence or condition is or may be in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws;

  (iv)   any violation of or noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental Permit with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property;

  (v)   any violation or noncompliance with the terms of any O&M Program as defined in subsection (d).

The matters described in clauses (i) through (v) above, except as otherwise provided in Section 18(b), are referred to collectively in this Section 18 as “Prohibited Activities or Conditions.”

(b) Prohibited Activities or Conditions shall not include lawful conditions permitted by an O&M Program or the safe and lawful use and storage of quantities of (i) pre-packaged supplies, cleaning materials and petroleum products customarily used in the operation and maintenance of comparable multifamily properties, (ii) cleaning materials, personal grooming items and other items sold in pre-packaged containers for consumer use and used by tenants and occupants of residential dwelling units in the Mortgaged Property; and (iii) petroleum products used in the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles from time to time located on the Mortgaged Property’s parking areas, so long as all of the foregoing are used, stored, handled, transported and disposed of in compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws.

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

(d) As required by Lender, Borrower shall also have established a written operations and maintenance program with respect to certain Hazardous Materials. Each such operations and maintenance program and any additional or revised operations and maintenance programs established for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 18 must be approved by Lender and shall be referred to herein as an “O&M Program.” Borrower shall comply in a timely manner with, and cause all employees, agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other persons present on the Mortgaged Property to comply with each O&M Program. Borrower shall pay all costs of performance of Borrower’s obligations under any O&M Program, and Lender’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of each O&M Program and Borrower’s performance shall be paid by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Any such out-of-pocket costs of Lender that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

(e) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, except as previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing (which written disclosure may be in certain environmental assessments and other written reports accepted by Lender in connection with the funding of the Indebtedness and dated prior to the date of this Instrument):

  (i)   Borrower has not at any time engaged in, caused or permitted any Prohibited Activities or Conditions on the Mortgaged Property;

  (ii)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no Prohibited Activities or Conditions exist or have existed on the Mortgaged Property;

  (iii)   the Mortgaged Property does not now contain any underground storage tanks, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the Mortgaged Property has not contained any underground storage tanks in the past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Mortgaged Property that has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials Laws;

  (iv)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, Borrower has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements for notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws now in effect and all such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect;

  (v)   to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no event has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property that constitutes, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would constitute, noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental Permit;

  (vi)   there are no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involve the Mortgaged Property and allege, arise out of, or relate to any Prohibited Activity or Condition; and

  (vii)   Borrower has not received any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any Governmental Authority with regard to air emissions, water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.

(f) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

  (i)   Borrower’s discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

  (ii)   Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, management agent, Governmental Authority or other person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; or

  (iii)   Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 18.

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

(g) Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“Environmental Inspections”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Section 21, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12. As long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender shall make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results to any third party of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of, the delivery of any of Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

(h) If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, restoration or other remedial work (“Remedial Work”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower shall, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and shall in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

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

(j) Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) Lender, (ii) any prior owner or holder of the Note, (iii) the Loan Servicer, (iv) any prior Loan Servicer, (v) the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and trustees of any of the foregoing, and (vi) the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnitees”) from and against all proceedings, claims, damages, penalties and costs (whether initiated or sought by Governmental Authorities or private parties), including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and remediation costs, whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from any of the following:

  (i)   any breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower in this Section 18;

  (ii)   any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Section 18;

  (iii)   the existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

  (iv)   the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on or under the Mortgaged Property or in any of the Improvements or on or under any property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; and

  (v)   the actual or alleged violation of any Hazardous Materials Law.

(k) Counsel selected by Borrower to defend Indemnitees shall be subject to the approval of those Indemnitees. In any circumstances in which the indemnity under this Section 18 applies, Lender may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. However, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the interests of Borrower and Lender are in conflict, as determined by Lender in its discretion, Lender shall permit Borrower to undertake the actions referenced in this Section 18 in accordance with this Section 18(k) and Section 18(l) so long as Lender approves such action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements entered into in good faith, consultants’ fees and Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

(l) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (a “Claim”), settle or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and adversely affect Lender, as determined by Lender in its discretion.

(m) Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

  (i)   any amendment or modification of any Loan Document;

  (ii)   any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document;

  (iii)   any provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender’s recourse to property securing the Indebtedness, or limiting the personal liability of Borrower or any other party for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness;

  (iv)   the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by Borrower under this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

  (v)   the release of Borrower or any other person, by Lender or by operation of law, from performance of any obligation under any Loan Document;

  (vi)   the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Indebtedness; and

  (vii)   Lender’s failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security for the Indebtedness.

(n) Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

  (i)   pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18;

  (ii)   reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18; and

  (iii)   reimburse Indemnitees for any and all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement by Indemnitees of their rights under this Section 18, or in monitoring and participating in any legal or administrative proceeding.

(o) The provisions of this Section 18 shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or under other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 18 without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligation of those persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of this Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 after the date of the release of record of the lien of this Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

19. PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE.

(a) Borrower shall keep the Improvements insured at all times against such hazards as Lender may from time to time require, which insurance shall include but not be limited to coverage against loss by fire and allied perils, general boiler and machinery coverage, rent loss and extra expense insurance. If Lender so requires, such insurance shall also include sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance, earthquake insurance, and, if the Mortgaged Property does not conform to applicable zoning or land use laws, building ordinance or law coverage. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s insurance requirements may change from time to time throughout the term of the Indebtedness. If any of the Improvements is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor to that agency) as an area having special flood hazards, Borrower shall insure such Improvements against loss by flood. All insurance required pursuant to this Section 19(a) shall be referred to as “Hazard Insurance.”

(b) All premiums on Hazard Insurance policies required under Section 19(a) shall be paid in the manner provided in Section 7, unless Lender has designated in writing another method of payment. All such policies shall also be in a form approved by Lender. All policies of property damage insurance shall include a non-contributing, non-reporting mortgage clause in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender. Lender shall have the right to hold the original policies or duplicate original policies of all Hazard Insurance required by Section 19(a). Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all renewal and other notices received by Borrower with respect to the policies and all receipts for paid premiums. At least 5 days prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that the policy has been renewed. If Borrower has not delivered the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy prior to the expiration date of any Hazard Insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver the original (or a duplicate original) of a renewal policy in a form satisfactory to Lender within 120 days after the expiration date of the original policy.

(c) Borrower shall maintain at all times commercial general liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and such other liability, errors and omissions and fidelity insurance coverages as Lender may from time to time require.

(d) All insurance policies and renewals of insurance policies required by this Section 19 shall be in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may from time to time require, and shall be issued by insurance companies satisfactory to Lender.

(e) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not permit any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property that would invalidate any part of any insurance coverage that this Instrument requires Borrower to maintain.

(f) In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Hazard Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Hazard Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Hazard Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 19 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Lender may, at Lender’s option, (i) require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring and repairing the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (the “Restoration”), or (ii) require an “actual cash value” settlement in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due. To the extent Lender determines to require a repair or replacement settlement and apply insurance proceeds to Restoration, Lender shall apply the proceeds in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the restoration of casualty damage on similar multifamily properties.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 19, as long as no Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing,

  (i)   in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost $10,000 or less to repair, the Borrower shall have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of the Lender so long as the insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property; and

  (ii)   in the event of a casualty resulting in damage to the Mortgaged Property which will cost more than $10,000 but less than $50,000 to repair, the Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender shall hold the applicable insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and shall not apply such proceeds to the payment of sums due under this Instrument.

(h) Lender will have the right to exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness only if Lender determines that at least one of the following conditions is met:

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

  (ii)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that there will not be sufficient funds from insurance proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration;

  (iii)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that the rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will not be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, Imposition Deposits, deposits to reserves and loan repayment obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property;

  (iv)   Lender determines, in its discretion, that the Restoration will not be completed at least one year before the Maturity Date (or six months before the Maturity Date if Lender determines in its discretion that re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such six-month period); or

  (v)   Lender determines that the Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the loss or casualty.

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

(j) Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments.

(k) Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any insurance proceeds as Lender may require.

20. CONDEMNATION.

(a) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (a “Condemnation”). Borrower shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 20 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

(b) Lender may apply such awards or proceeds, after the deduction of Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) at Lender’s option, to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment of the Indebtedness, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Section 7 of this Instrument or any Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

21. TRANSFERS OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR INTERESTS IN BORROWER. [RIGHT TO UNLIMITED TRANSFERS — WITH LENDER APPROVAL].

  (2)   For the purposes of these Preapproved Transfers, a transferor’s immediate family members will be deemed to include a spouse, parent, child or grandchild of such transferor.

(d) fraud or material misrepresentation or material omission by Borrower, any of its officers, directors, trustees, general partners or managers or any guarantor in connection with (i) the application for or creation of the Indebtedness, (ii) any financial statement, rent schedule, or other report or information provided to Lender during the term of the Indebtedness, or (iii) any request for Lender’s consent to any proposed action, including a request for disbursement of funds under any Collateral Agreement;

(e) any failure to comply with the provisions of Section 20;

(f) any Event of Default under Section 21;

(g) the commencement of a forfeiture action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, which, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, could result in a forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise materially impair the lien created by this Instrument or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property;

(h) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument (other than those specified in Sections 22(a) through (g)), as and when required, which continues for a period of 30 days after Notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower. However, if Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations as described in this Section 22(h) is of the nature that it cannot be cured within the 30 day grace period but reasonably could be cured within 90 days, then Borrower shall have additional time as determined by Lender in its discretion, not to exceed an additional 60 days, in which to cure such default, provided that Borrower has diligently commenced to cure such default during the 30-day grace period and diligently pursues the cure of such default. However, no such Notice or grace periods shall apply in the case of any such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Instrument, result in harm to Lender, impairment of the Note or this Instrument or any other security given under any other Loan Document;

(i) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations as and when required under any Loan Document other than this Instrument which continues beyond the applicable cure period, if any, specified in that Loan Document;

(j) any exercise by the holder of any other debt instrument secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt on the Mortgaged Property of a right to declare all amounts due under that debt instrument immediately due and payable;

(k) Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code or voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights, or an involuntary case is commenced against Borrower by any creditor (other than Lender) of Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights and is not dismissed or discharged within 90 days after filing; and

(l) any of Borrower’s representations and warranties in this Instrument is false or misleading in any material respect.

23. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order.

24. FORBEARANCE.

(a) Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) agree with Borrower, from time to time, and without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or having any effect upon the obligations of, any guarantor or other third party obligor, to take any of the following actions: extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; reduce the payments due under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; release anyone liable for the payment of any amounts under this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document; accept a renewal of the Note; modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness; join in any extension or subordination agreement; release any Mortgaged Property; take or release other or additional security; modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note; and otherwise modify this Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document.

(b) Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 19 and 20 shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

25. LOAN CHARGES. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the Indebtedness. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

26. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document.

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

28. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements or amendments, transfers and assurances as Lender may require from time to time in order to better assure, grant, and convey to Lender the rights intended to be granted, now or in the future, to Lender under this Instrument and the Loan Documents.

29. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Within 10 days after a request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written statement, signed and acknowledged by Borrower, certifying to Lender or any person designated by Lender, as of the date of such statement, (i) that the Loan Documents are unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications); (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iii) the date to which interest under the Note has been paid; (iv) that Borrower is not in default in paying the Indebtedness or in performing or observing any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (or, if the Borrower is in default, describing such default in reasonable detail); (v) whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses known to Borrower against the enforcement of any right or remedy of Lender under the Loan Documents; and (vi) any additional facts requested by Lender.

30. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

(a) This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Land is located (the “Property Jurisdiction”).

(b) Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument, or any other Loan Document may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness, or any other Loan Document. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Section 30 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.

31. NOTICE.

(a) All Notices, demands and other communications (“Notice”) under or concerning this Instrument shall be in writing. Each Notice shall be addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in this Instrument, and shall be deemed given on the earliest to occur of (i) the date when the Notice is received by the addressee; (ii) the first Business Day after the Notice is delivered to a recognized overnight courier service, with arrangements made for payment of charges for next Business Day delivery; or (iii) the third Business Day after the Notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested.

(b) Any party to this Instrument may change the address to which Notices intended for it are to be directed by means of Notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 31. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or reject delivery of any Notice given in accordance with this Section 31, that it will acknowledge, in writing, the receipt of any Notice upon request by the other party and that any Notice rejected or refused by it shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 31 to have been received by the rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as conclusively established by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the courier service.

(c) Any Notice under the Note and any other Loan Document that does not specify how Notices are to be given shall be given in accordance with this Section 31.

32. SALE OF NOTE; CHANGE IN SERVICER; LOAN SERVICING. The Note or a partial interest in the Note (together with this Instrument and the other Loan Documents) may be sold one or more times without prior Notice to Borrower. A sale may result in a change of the Loan Servicer. There also may be one or more changes of the Loan Servicer unrelated to a sale of the Note. If there is a change of the Loan Servicer, Borrower will be given Notice of the change. All actions regarding the servicing of the loan evidenced by the Note, including the collection of payments, the giving and receipt of Notice, inspections of the Mortgaged Property, inspections of books and records, and the granting of consents and approvals, may be taken by the Loan Servicer unless Borrower receives Notice to the contrary. If Borrower receives conflicting Notices regarding the identity of the Loan Servicer or any other subject, any such Notice from Lender shall govern.

33. SINGLE ASSET BORROWER. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower (a) shall not own any real or personal property other than the Mortgaged Property and personal property related to the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property; (b) shall not operate any business other than the management and operation of the Mortgaged Property; and (c) shall not maintain its assets in a way difficult to segregate and identify.

34. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND. This Instrument shall bind, and the rights granted by this Instrument shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower. However, a Transfer not permitted by Section 21 shall be an Event of Default.

35. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity signs this Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several.

36. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.

(a) The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Instrument shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower.

(b) No creditor of any party to this Instrument and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) any arrangement (a “Servicing Arrangement”) between the Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds shall constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower shall not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

37. SEVERABILITY; AMENDMENTS. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Instrument shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Instrument contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Instrument. This Instrument may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Section 21, any or some or all of the Modifications to Instrument set forth in Exhibit B (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s).

38. CONSTRUCTION. The captions and headings of the Sections of this Instrument are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to an “Exhibit” or a “Section” shall, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an Exhibit attached to this Instrument or to a Section of this Instrument. All Exhibits attached to or referred to in this Instrument are incorporated by reference into this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to a statute or regulation shall be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time. Use of the singular in this Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. As used in this Instrument, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

39. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Lender may furnish information regarding Borrower or the Mortgaged Property to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, purchase or securitization of the Indebtedness, including but not limited to trustees, master servicers, special servicers, rating agencies, and organizations maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of multifamily mortgage loans. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy.

40. NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. Borrower warrants that (a) all information in the application for the loan submitted to Lender (the “Loan Application”) and in all financial statements, rent schedules, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan Application are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (b) there has been no material adverse change in any fact or circumstance that would make any such information incomplete or inaccurate.

41. SUBROGATION. If, and to the extent that, the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note are used to pay, satisfy or discharge any obligation of Borrower for the payment of money that is secured by a pre-existing mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property (a “Prior Lien”), such loan proceeds shall be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender shall automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

42. ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE — THIRD PARTY CAP AGREEMENT “CAP COLLATERAL.”

(a) If the Note provides for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the “Extension Period,” as defined in the Note, if applicable), then the definition of “Mortgaged Property” shall include the “Cap Collateral.” The “Cap Collateral” shall mean

  (i)   any interest rate cap agreement, interest rate swap agreement, or other interest rate-hedging contract or agreement obtained by Borrower as a requirement of any Loan Document or as a condition of Lender’s making the Loan (a “Cap Agreement”);

  (ii)   any and all moneys (collectively, “Cap Payments”) payable pursuant to any Cap Agreement by the interest rate cap provider or other counterparty to a Cap Agreement or any guarantor of the obligations of any such cap provider or counterparty (a “Cap Provider”);

  (iii)   all rights of Borrower under any Cap Agreement and all rights of Borrower to all Cap Payments, including contract rights and general intangibles, whether existing now or arising after the date of this Instrument;

  (iv)   all rights, liens and security interests or guaranties granted by a Cap Provider or any other person to secure or guaranty payment of any Cap Payment whether existing now or granted after the date of this Instrument;

  (v)   all documents, writings, books, files, records and other documents arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, whether existing now or created after the date of this Instrument; and

  (vi)   all cash and non-cash proceeds and products of (ii) – (v) above.

(b) As additional security for Borrower’s obligation under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby assigns and pledges to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Cap Collateral. Borrower has instructed and will instruct each Cap Provider and any guarantor of a Cap Provider’s obligations to make Cap Payments directly to Lender or to Loan Servicer on behalf of Lender.

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

(d) Following an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies Lender may have, Lender may retain any Cap Payments and apply them to the Indebtedness in such order and amounts as Lender determines. Neither the existence of a Cap Agreement nor anything in this Instrument shall relieve Borrower of its primary obligation to timely pay in full all amounts due under the Note and otherwise due on account of the Indebtedness.

(e) If the Note does not provide for interest to accrue at an adjustable or variable interest rate (other than during the Extension Period) then this Section 42 shall be of no force or effect.

43. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender, at Lender’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Virginia law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may exercise the power of sale granted by this Instrument without prior judicial hearing to the extent allowed by Virginia law. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert that an Event of Default does not exist or to raise any other defense Borrower may have to acceleration and sale. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys, including Lender’s in-house counsel, and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender or Trustee shall deliver a copy of a notice of sale to Borrower in the manner prescribed by Virginia law. Trustee shall give public notice of the sale in the manner prescribed by Virginia law and shall sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Virginia law. Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at public auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Virginia law. Lender or Lender’s designee may purchase the Mortgaged Property at any sale.

Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale, within a reasonable time after the sale, a deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold with special warranty of title. The recitals in Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made in the recitals. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order unless Virginia law recites a different order of distribution: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including Trustee’s fees in an amount prescribed by Virginia law, or if Trustee’s fees are not so prescribed, in an amount equal to 5 percent of the gross sale price, attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the discharge of all Taxes, if any, as provided by Virginia law; (c) to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, directs; and (d) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess, including, if any, the holders of liens inferior to this Instrument in the order of their priority, provided that Trustee has actual notice of such liens. Trustee shall not be required to take possession of the Mortgaged Property before the sale or to deliver possession of the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser at the sale.

44. RELEASE. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender shall request Trustee to release this Instrument and shall deliver the Note to Trustee. Trustee shall release this Instrument. Borrower shall pay Trustee’s reasonable costs incurred in releasing this Instrument.

45. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE. Lender may from time to time, in Lender’s discretion, remove Trustee and appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed under this Instrument. Without conveyance of the Mortgaged Property, the successor trustee shall succeed to all the title, power and duties conferred upon the predecessor Trustee and by applicable law.

46. STATUTORY PROVISIONS. The following provisions of Section 55-60, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, are made applicable to this Instrument:

Exemptions waived
Subject to all upon default
Renewal or extension permitted
Substitution of trustee permitted
Any trustee may act

47. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

FHLMC Loan No. 487791347

The Myrtles at Olde Towne

GUARANTY
MULTISTATE
(for use in all Property jurisdictions except California)
REVISION DATE 05/06/2005

This Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is entered into to be effective as of December 21, 2007, by the undersigned person(s) (the “Guarantor” jointly and severally if more than one), for the benefit of CAPMARK BANK, a Utah industrial bank (the “Lender”).

RECITALS

A. G&E Apartment REIT The Myrtles at Olde Towne, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $20,100,000.00 (the “Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by a Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (the “Note”). The Note will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Deed to Secure Debt dated effective as of the effective date of the Note (the “Security Instrument”), encumbering the Mortgaged Property described in the Security Instrument.

B. As a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that the Guarantor execute this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1. Defined Terms. "Indebtedness,” “Loan Documents” and "Property Jurisdiction” and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Instrument.

2. Scope of Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender:

  (i)   the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of each of the following:

  (A)   a portion of the Indebtedness equal to zero percent (0%) of the original principal balance of the Note (the “Base Guaranty”); and

  (B)   in addition to the Base Guaranty, all other amounts for which Borrower is personally liable under Sections 9(c), 9(d) and 9(f) of the Note; and

  (C)   all costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty; and

  (ii)   the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all of Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument.

(b) If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then (i) the Base Guaranty shall mean and include the full and complete guaranty of payment of the entire Indebtedness and the performance of all Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents; and (ii) for so long as the Base Guaranty remains in effect (there being no limit to the duration of the Base Guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty), the obligations guaranteed pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i)(B), 2(a)(i)(C) and Section 3 shall be part of, and not in addition to or in limitation of, the Base Guaranty.

If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is less than 100 percent of the original principal balance of the Note, then this Section 2(b) shall be completely inapplicable and shall be treated as if not a part of this Guaranty.

(c) If Guarantor is not liable for the entire Indebtedness, then all payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (except this Guaranty) shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which neither Borrower nor Guarantor has personal liability.

3. Additional Guaranty Relating to Bankruptcy.

(a) Notwithstanding any limitation on liability provided for elsewhere in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the entire Indebtedness, in the event that:

  (i)   Borrower voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code; or

  (ii)   Borrower voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights; or

  (iii)   an order of relief is entered against Borrower pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or joined in by a “Related Party.”

(b) For purposes of this Section, the term “Related Party” means:

  (i)   Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (ii)   any person or entity that holds, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest in or right to manage Borrower or Guarantor, including without limitation, any shareholder, member or partner of Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (iii)   any person or entity in which any ownership interest (direct or indirect) or right to manage is held by Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor; and

  (iv)   any other creditor of Borrower that is related by blood, marriage or adoption to Borrower, Guarantor or any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other person or entity holding an interest in, Borrower or Guarantor.

(c) If Borrower, Guarantor or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in this Section, regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding shall be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

4. Guarantor’s Obligations Survive Foreclosure. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security Instrument, and, in addition, the obligations of Guarantor relating to Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of or held title to the Mortgaged Property, Guarantor shall have no obligation under this Guaranty relating to Borrower’s obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument after the date of the release of record of the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the payment in full of the Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

5. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

6. No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be performed without demand by Lender and shall be unconditional regardless of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor;

(b) the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to a guarantor, a surety, a borrower or a mortgagor, and any other rights of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor under such statutes or laws;

(c) diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness;

(d) all rights to cause a marshalling of the Borrower’s assets or to require Lender to:

  (i)   proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower’s payment or performance under the Loan Documents (an “Other Guarantor”);

  (ii)   proceed against any general partner of Borrower or any Other Guarantor if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership;

  (iii)   proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness; or

  (iv)   pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower;

(e) any right to object to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender’s enforcement of its rights under any of the Loan Documents; and

(f) any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future advances by Lender under the terms of the Security Instrument to protect Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.

7. Modification of Loan Documents. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, Lender may:

(a) extend the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness or renew the Indebtedness in whole or in part;

(b) extend the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, or waive such performance or compliance;

(c) accelerate the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness as provided in the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document;

(d) with Borrower, modify or amend the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document in any respect, including, but not limited to, an increase in the principal amount; and/or

(e) modify, exchange, surrender or otherwise deal with any security for the Indebtedness or accept additional security that is pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness.

8. Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of Guarantor (and each party named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty) and any Other Guarantor shall be joint and several. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(a) bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, and any Other Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them;

(b) compromise or settle with Guarantor, any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;

(c) release one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, from liability; and

(d) otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9. Subordination of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Guarantor. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and shall be subordinated to the Indebtedness and Guarantor shall collect, enforce and receive any such indebtedness of Borrower as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

10. Waiver of Subrogation. Guarantor shall have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

11. Preference. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

12. Financial Statements. Guarantor, from time to time upon written request by Lender, shall deliver to Lender such financial statements as Lender may reasonably require.

13. Assignment. Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties, and the term “Lender” shall also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of the Note. Reference in this Guaranty to “person” or “persons” shall be deemed to include individuals and entities.

14. Complete and Final Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has received a copy of the Note and all other Loan Documents. Neither this Guaranty nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that writing.

15. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, without giving effect to the choice of law principles of the Property Jurisdiction that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Property Jurisdiction.

16. Jurisdiction; Venue. Guarantor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Guaranty may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction, and that the state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in relation to this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing herein is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Guaranty against Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets in any court of any other jurisdiction.

17. Guarantor’s Interest in Borrower. Guarantor represents to Lender that Guarantor has a direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Borrower and/or will otherwise derive a material financial benefit from the making of the Loan.

18. STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Guarantor waives the benefit of the provisions of Sections 49-25 and 49-26 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended.

19. Residence; Community Property Provision.

20. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS GUARANTOR AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Lender shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on its part in refraining from so doing at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto (subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement), and no waiver or omission to act by Lender as to any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or of the same Event of Default at a future time, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise of that or of any other right or remedy.

5. Protection of Security Interest. Pledgor covenants that:

(a) Pledgor will, at all times the Loan Agreement remains in full force and effect, remain the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for liens and encumbrances in favor of Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor will not sell, convey, transfer, assign or encumber in any way, all or any portion of the Collateral.

(b) Pledgor will, at all times the Loan Agreement remains in full force and effect, remain the legal and beneficial owner of (i) all Membership Interests in each Owned LLC, (ii) all Partnership Interests in each Owned LP, and (iii) all membership interests in each Property Owner GP, each of which in turn will remain the beneficial owner of all general partnership interests in the respective Owned LP, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for, as to the Collateral, liens and encumbrances in favor of Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor will not sell, convey, transfer, assign or encumber in any way, all or any portion of any Membership Interests, any Partnership Interests, or any membership interests in the Property Owner GP’s, and will not permit the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or encumbrance, in any way, of any general partnership interests owned by any Property Owner GP in any Owned LP, in each case except in favor of Lender.

(c) Except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lender, Pledgor will not (i) change its name, identity, or corporate structure or jurisdiction of incorporation so as to make any financing or other statement filed as provided herein become seriously misleading, (ii) with respect to Hidden Lakes, opt out of Article 8 for purposes of classifying the Partnership Interests therein as securities or (iii) with respect to any Owned LLC or any Owned LP other than Hidden Lakes, opt into Article 8 for purposes of classifying the Membership Interests or Partnership Interests therein as securities.

(d) Pledgor will, upon request of Lender, prepare and deliver such financing statements, notices of lien, notices of assignment and continuations or amendments to any of the foregoing, and other documents (and pay the costs of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed necessary by Lender) and do such other acts and things, all as Lender may from time to time request to establish and maintain a valid perfected first priority pledge and security interest in the Collateral to secure the payment of the Obligations. Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints Lender (and any of its officers) as its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to execute and deliver all documents necessary to perfect and keep perfected the security interests created hereby. This power of attorney hereby granted is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by Pledgor.

(e) Pledgor will pay or cause to be paid, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral, except to the extent and so long as (i) the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (ii) the effect of any lien, charge or encumbrance is stayed pending final resolution.

(f) Pledgor will pay promptly on demand by Lender all advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting and preserving the Collateral or in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement.

(g) Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Pledgor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Owned Company to issue any additional Membership Interests or Partnership Interests, as applicable, except for such additional Membership Interests or Partnership Interests that will be subject to the security interest granted herein in favor of the Lender or (ii) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Owned LLC to recharacterize its Membership Interests into classes other than those existing as of the date hereof, or discontinue any classes existing as of the date hereof, or transfer Membership Interests among classes, or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the Pledgor or the Lender to sell, assign or transfer any Collateral. The Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Lender in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(h) The Pledgor will deliver to the Lender all Partnership Interests or Membership Interests evidenced by a certificate (including, without limitation, certificates evidencing the Partnership Interests in Hidden Lakes), together with such effective endorsements and assignments as may be required. If the Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive (i) any certificate evidencing any Collateral, whether in addition to, in substitution of, or as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof or (ii) any sums paid upon or in respect of any Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Owned Company, the Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent for the Lender, hold the same in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and promptly deliver the same to the Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

6. Events of Default. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) which has not been cured during the applicable cure period, if any, provided for therein, shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) hereunder.

7. Lender’s Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to exercise all such rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral as (i) are available under the UCC and (ii) are otherwise available at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests or other proceeds paid in respect of any Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests, and any or all of any Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests shall be registered in the name of the Lender or its nominee, and the Lender or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests at any meeting of partners or members, as applicable, of the relevant Owned Companies and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the limited liability company or partnership structure of any Owned Company or upon the exercise by the Pledgor or the Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Lender shall have no duty to the Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Lender shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, the Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Owned Company to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor, and the Pledgor agrees that each Owned Company shall be fully protected in so complying following receipt of such notice and prior to notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Membership Interests and/or Partnership Interests directly to the Lender.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Lender shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on its part in refraining from so doing at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto (subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement), and no waiver or omission to act by Lender as to any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or of the same Event of Default at a future time, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise of that or of any other right or remedy. The provisions, rights and remedies hereof are cumulative to and concurrent with those of all other agreements and documents held by Lender in connection with the Obligations.

UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”)

$10,000,000

December 21, 2007 (the “Note Date”)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT Holdings, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (“Borrower”), unconditionally promises to pay NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided, the principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the Note Date until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in Schedule A attached hereto), provided that any principal amount not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (both before as well as after judgment), shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. Interest on this Note shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month beginning on the Commencement Date, each date on which an installment of principal is due and payable hereunder, upon any prepayment of this Note (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity. All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a 365-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period (including the first day but excluding the last day). In no event shall the interest rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

1. Maturity Date. The outstanding principal amount of the Note, and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be automatically due and payable on the Maturity Date.

2. Payments. All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds at the office of Lender located at 1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Ana, California 92705, or at such other place as Lender may direct. Whenever any payment on this Note is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined herein), such payment shall instead be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable on this Note. Each payment made hereunder shall be credited first to interest then due and the remainder of such payment shall be credited to principal, and interest shall thereupon cease to accrue upon the principal so credited. Each of Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that before disposing of this Note or any part hereof the Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note will mutually agree on the amount of all principal payments previously made hereunder and of the date to which interest hereon has been paid; provided, however, that the failure to make a notation of any payment made on this Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder with respect to payments of principal or interest on this Note. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of California or any other day on which banking institutions located in such state are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Maturity Date to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

(a) promptly provide to Lender financial and operational information with respect to Borrower or any of its subsidiaries as Lender may reasonably request;

(b) promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined herein) or an event, act or condition that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, provide Lender with a certificate of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or general partner(s) of Borrower specifying the nature thereof and Borrower’s proposed response thereto; and

(c) not merge or consolidate with any other Person (as defined herein), or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial part of its property or assets to any other Person.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, declare the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon, to be due and payable, and the principal amount of this Note, together with such interest, shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, further notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower). From and after any Event of Default until such time as the Event of Default has been cured, the Default Interest Rate shall be applicable.

(c) No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any other holder of this Note to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Note and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall impair such right, power or privilege or operate as a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Note are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies that Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT Acquires

The Heights at Olde Towne in Portsmouth, Virginia

Santa Ana, California (December 31, 2007) – Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc. has acquired The Heights at Olde Towne in Portsmouth, Virginia. The acquisition closed on December 21, 2007.

The Heights at Olde Towne is a 148-unit multifamily property totaling more than 118,000 rentable square feet on more than 3.75 acres. Built in 1972 and renovated between 2003 and 2006, the property consists of two eight-story apartment buildings that offer five floor plans ranging in size from 604-square-foot one bedroom/one bath units to 1,122-square-foot three bedroom/three bath units. Amenities include balconies or patios, spacious closets, laundry facilities, new swimming pool with fountains, business center with wireless internet access, a club room featuring a flat screen television, and a new fitness center.

The Heights at Olde Towne is located two miles from Interstate 264 on the border of the Olde Towne Portsmouth historic district. The property provides 237 parking spaces for a parking ratio of 1.6 spaces per unit. The community is adjacent to the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, one of the largest and most modern U.S. Navy hospitals and one of the area’s major employers. The Heights at Olde Towne is currently 94 percent occupied.

Portsmouth is a part of the Hampton Roads metropolitan statistical area, which boasts a population in excess of 1.6 million people and an unemployment rate of approximately three percent, significantly less than the national average, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the military and government are main drivers of the local economy, accounting for nearly 21 percent of employment, recent growth in the area has transformed Portsmouth into a major shipping hub with a diverse economy. According to Moody’s Economy.com, average household income in the region exceeds $96,000.

Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT offers a monthly distribution of 7.0 percent per annum, and is seeking to acquire properties in geographically-diverse markets throughout the United States that are poised for strong population and economic growth. As of December 14, 2007, Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT has sold approximately eight million shares of its common stock for more than $80 million through its initial public offering, which began in the third quarter of 2006.

Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT Acquires

The Myrtles at Olde Towne in Portsmouth, Virginia

Santa Ana, California (December 31, 2007) – Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc. has acquired The Myrtles at Olde Towne in Portsmouth, Virginia. The acquisition closed on December 21, 2007.

The Myrtles at Olde Towne is a 246-unit multifamily property totaling more than 221,000 rentable square feet on approximately 10 acres. Built between 2004 and 2005, the property consists of six three-story apartment buildings that offer five floor plans ranging in size from 751-square-foot one bedroom/one bath units to 1,137-square-foot two bedroom/two bath units. Unit amenities include balconies or patios, nine foot ceilings, track lighting, walk-in closets, washer/dryers and built-in surround sound speakers. Community amenities include a luxury clubhouse with veranda, modern movie theater, state-of-the-art fitness center, billiards room with wet bar and a resort-style swimming pool with fountain.

The Myrtles at Olde Towne is located two miles from Interstate 264 on the border of the Olde Towne Portsmouth historic district. The property provides 413 parking spaces, including 72 garages, for a parking ratio of 1.6 spaces per unit. The community is adjacent to the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, one of the largest and most modern U.S. Navy hospitals and one of the area’s major employers. The Myrtles at Olde Towne is currently 89 percent occupied.

Portsmouth is a part of the Hampton Roads metropolitan statistical area, which boasts a population in excess of 1.6 million people and an unemployment rate of approximately three percent, significantly less than the national average, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the military and government are main drivers of the local economy, accounting for nearly 21 percent of employment, recent growth in the area has transformed Portsmouth into a major shipping hub with a diverse economy. According to Moody’s Economy.com, average household income in the region exceeds $96,000.
