On June 18, 2008, GERI, executed a First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Creekside Amendment, with the Creekside Seller. The material terms of the Creekside Amendment expanded Section 1.6 – Intangible Property to specifically include the name "Creekside Crossing."

On June 26, 2008, GERI executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement Assignment, or the Creekside Assignment, assigning its rights, title and interest as the buyer in the Creekside Agreement, as amended, to G&E Apartment REIT Creekside Crossing, LLC, our subsidi ary.

On June 26, 2008, we acquired the Creekside property for a purchase price of $25,400,000, plus closing costs. We financed the purchase price with a secured loan of $17,000,000, or the Creekside loan, from Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, without Recourse, or Freddie Mac, and $9,487,000 in borrowings under a loan from Wachovia Bank, National Association, or Wachovia, or the Wachovia loan, (the Creekside loan and Wachovia loan are described in Item 2.03 below). An acquisition fee of $762,000, or 3.0% of the purchase price, was paid to our advisor and its affiliate.

On June 23, 2008, GERI enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Kedron Agreement, with AMLI at Peachtree City-Phase I, LLC and AMLI at Peachtree City-Phase II, LLC, unaffiliated third parties, for the purchase of AMLI at Kedron Village, located in Peachtree City, Georgia, or the Kedron property, and AMLI at Peachtree City, located in Peachtree City, Georgia, or the Peachtree property, for a total purchase price of $66,200,000, with allocated purchase prices of $29,600,000 for the Kedron property and $36,600,000 for the Peachtree property.

On June 27, 2008, we acquired the Kedron property for a purchase price of $29,600,000, plus closing costs. We financed the purchase price with a secured loan of $20,000,000 from Freddie Mac, or the Kedron loan, $6,513,000 in borrowings under the Wachovia loan, a $3,700,000 unsecured loan from NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., or NNN Realty Advisors, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of our sponsor, Grubb & Ellis Company (the Kedron loan, Wachovia loan and unsecured loan are described in Item 2.03 below) and the remaining balance from funds raised through our initial public offering. An acquisition fee of $888,000, or 3.0% of the purchase price, was paid to our advisor and its affiliate.

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

Creekside Loan

On June 26, 2008, we, through G&E Apartment REIT Creekside Crossing, LLC, entered into a secured loan, or the Creekside loan, with Freddie Mac. The Creekside loan is evidenced by a Multifamily Note in the principal amount of $17,000,000, or the Creekside Note, and is secured by both a Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, conveying the Creekside property and granting a security interest in its fixtures and personal property, or the Creekside Deed, as well as a Guaranty executed by us as the guarantor of the Creekside loan, or the Creekside Guaranty. The Creekside loan matures on July 1, 2015 and bears interest at an adjustable interest rate, as defined in the Creekside Note; however, in no event will the adjustable interest rate exceed 6.5% per annum. The Creekside loan provides for interest-only payments due on the first day of each calendar month, beginning on August 1, 2008. If any monthly installment that is due is not received by the lender within five days after the installment is due, the Creekside loan provides for a late charge equal to 5.0% of such monthly installment. In the event of default, the Creekside loan also provides for a default interest rate of 4.0% above the adjustable interest rate, or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. The Creekside loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part, subject to a prepayment premium. In the event of prepayment, the amount of prepayment premium will be paid according to the prepayment premium schedule listed in the Creekside Note. The Creekside loan documents contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

Kedron Loan

On June 27, 2008, we, through G&E Apartment REIT Kedron Village, LLC, entered into a secured loan, or the Kedron loan, with Freddie Mac. The Kedron loan is evidenced by a Multifamily Note in the principal amount of $20,000,000, or the Kedron Note, and is secured by both a Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Ren ts and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, conveying the Kedron property and granting a security interest in its fixtures and personal property, or the Kedron Deed, as well as a Guaranty executed by us as the guarantor of the Kedron loan, or the Kedron Guaranty. The Kedron loan matures on July 1, 2015 and bears interest at an adjustable interest rate, as defined in the Kedron Note; however, in no event will the adjustable interest rate exceed 6.5% per annum. The Kedron loan provides for interest-only payments due on the first day of each calendar month, beginning on August 1, 2008. If any monthly installment that is due is not received by the lender within five days after the installment is due, the Kedron loan provides for a late charge equal to 5.0% of such monthly installment. In the event of default, the Kedron loan also provides for a default interest rate of 4.0% above the adjustable interest rate, or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. The Kedron loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part, subject to a prepayment premium. In the event of prepayment, the amount of prepayment premium will be paid according to the prepayment premium schedule listed in the Kedron Note. The Kedron loan documents contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

Wachovia Loan

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on November 7, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement for a revolving $10,000,000 loan with Wachovia, or the Wachovia loan. On June 26, 2008, in connection with the Wachovia loan, we entered into a Third Amendment to and Waiver of Loan Agreement with Wachovia, or the Wachovia amendment. In connection with the Wachovia amendment, we secured the Amended and Restated Promissory Note which we entered into with Wachovia on March 31, 2008 by executing a Third Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement (Membership and Partnership Interests), or the Wachovia pledge agreement. The Wachovia pledge agreement grants a security interest in 100% o f Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT Holdings, L.P.’s, our operating partnership, or Holdings, Class B membership interests, as defined in the Wachovia pledge agreement, in each of G&E Apartment REIT Creekside Crossing, LLC and G&E Apartment REIT Kedron Village, LLC, which constitutes a 49% interest in each of G&E Apartment REIT Creekside Crossing, LLC and G&E Apartment REIT Kedron Village, LLC. The material terms of the Wachovia amendment temporarily extends the aggregate principal amount available under the Wachovia loan to $16,000,000, until the amount of the overage advanced, as defined in the Wachovia amendment, has been repaid in full. On June 26, 2008, we borrowed $16,000,000 under the Wachovia loan, which was applied towards the purchase price of both the Creekside property and Kedron property, including their respective closing costs.

Unsecured Loan

On June 27, 2008, in connection with our acquisition of the Kedron property, we, through Holdings, entered into an unsecured loan with NN N Realty Advisors, as evidenced by an Unsecured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3,700,000, or the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note matures on December 27, 2008. The Unsecured Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.95% per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments beginning on August 1, 2008 for the term of the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note also provides for a default interest rate of 6.95% per annum. 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 Creekside loan, Kedron loan, Wachovia Loan and the unsecured loan are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Creekside Note, Creekside Deed, Creekside Guaranty, Kedron Note, Kedron Deed, Kedron Guaranty, Third Amendment to and Waiver of Loan Agreement, Third 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.

2.3 Inspections; Indemnity Insurance.

2.3.1 Inspections. Purchaser and its employees and agents shall have the right and permission from and after the Execution Date through Closing to enter upon the Property or any part thereof at all reasonable times upon at least one (1) business day’s advance notice by Purchaser to Seller, in a manner not to unreasonably disturb the tenants and other occupants of the Property (collectively, the “Tenants”) nor materially damage or injure the Property, to inspect all aspects of the Property, at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and expense, and to make such physical inspections, studies and tests of the Property which Purchaser deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion. Seller shall have the right to have its representative present at any such inspections. The inspections, studies and tests permitted under this Section 2.3.1 shall include the right to examine the books and records of Seller with respect to the Property (including, without limitation, all environmental assessment reports, building evaluations, financial data and other investigations and materials pertaining to the Property as are in the possession or control of the Seller), and make copies thereof, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall require Seller to make available any communications to investors or other internal confidential information which is not the subject of customary and reasonable due diligence investigation. Within three (3) business days following the Execution Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of those documents listed on Schedule 2.3.1. Any entry by Purchaser also shall be in compliance with the terms of the Leases. Any testing that requires a physical or other intrusive invasion of the Land or Improvements shall require Seller’s consent (it being agreed that the standard testing and gathering of samples for a customary Phase I environmental study shall be permitted without Seller’s consent), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except to the extent such disclosure is required or permitted pursuant to Section 14.10, Purchaser agrees that it will not disclose to any third party not approved by Seller the results of its inspections or tests. Unless legally required to report a condition that is revealed by its inspections, Purchaser shall not contact any governmental authority without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller thereto and Seller, at Seller’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative on any telephone call or other contact made by Purchaser to a governmental authority and to be present at any meeting between Purchaser and a governmental authority. The foregoing shall not, however, prevent Purchaser from contacting governmental authorities to request zoning and code compliance letters, property tax information, utility expenses or other customary due diligence and shall not prohibit Purchaser from reviewing or requesting copies of public files relating to the Property. Any notice which Purchaser is required to give under this Section 2.3.1 may be given verbally to Kelly Seabold at (757) 961-2062.

2.3.2 Indemnity. Purchaser shall INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Seller, its members, managers, principals, employees and agents from all claims and liability arising due to any activities of Purchaser or its authorized representatives on the Property in connection with such inspections, studies and tests (but excluding any such matters arising in connection with the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its agents or employees), and Purchaser shall restore any portion of the Land or Improvements disturbed by any such inspections, studies and tests by Purchaser or its authorized representatives to substantially the condition existing immediately prior to such inspection, study or test. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Purchaser shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(d) all matters shown on Seller’s existing survey of the Land, the Improvements and the Appurtenances (the “Survey”), a copy of which will be delivered to Purchaser as required herein (“Existing Survey Matters”), together with any additional matters as are disclosed by the “Updated Survey” described below;

2.4.2 Title/Survey Review Period. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 17, 2008 (the “Title/Survey Review Period”) to obtain an update to the Title Commitment (the “Updated Title Commitment”) for, and an update to the Survey (the “Updated Survey”) of, the Land, the Improvements and the Appurtenances and to make written objection to Seller due to any exceptions, defects or conditions shown on the Title Commitment, Updated Title Commitment, Survey, and/or the Updated Survey (collectively, “Purchaser’s Objections”). Seller shall, within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s notice to Seller of Purchaser’s Objections, notify Purchaser in writing that: (a) Seller will cure all or certain of Purchaser’s Objections as of or prior to Closing, or (b) Seller will not cure all or certain of Purchaser’s Objections. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Purchaser’s Objections. If Seller fails to deliver the foregoing notice with respect to all or any of Purchaser’s Objections, Seller shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above with respect to any such Purchaser’s Objections. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any or all of Purchaser’s Objections, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, (x) waive said Purchaser’s Objections or (y) only by written notice to Seller given on or prior to the expiration of three (3) business days after the expiration of Seller’s response period described above, terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. Failure by Purchaser to terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the last date of the Title/Survey Review Period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any Purchaser’s Objections previously raised and which Seller elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure.

2.5 Contingency Period. The Contingency Period shall commence on May 19, 2008 and shall end at 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 17, 2008 (the “Contingency Period”). Purchaser, at its election and in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason by giving written notice thereof to Seller at any time before the expiration of the Contingency Period. Purchaser shall endeavor to simultaneously deliver a copy of any such notice to Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the delivery of any such notice to Escrow Agent shall not affect the validity or timing of any such notice to Seller. If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement under this Section 2.5, then the Earnest Money shall be paid to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder unless otherwise specifically stated. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 2.5, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement, except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, and the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

If either party discovers any errors in the Closing Statement which would result in an adjustment in excess of $2,500.00, both parties agree to correct and reconcile such error as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but, in any event, no such later corrections or reconciliations shall be made more than one year after the Closing Date.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Environmental Laws” means any and all federal, state and local, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, guidance documents, judgments, governmental authorizations, or any other requirements of governmental authorities, as may presently exist, or as may be amended or supplemented, or hereafter enacted, relating to the presence, release, generation, use, handling, treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Materials, or the protection of the environment or human, plant or animal health, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 , as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.), the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.), the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.), the Oil Pollution Act (33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. § 11001 et seq.), or any other statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any Hazardous Material(s) (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material(s)” includes, without limitation, any hazardous or toxic material, substance, irritant, chemical, or waste, including without limitation (a) any material defined, classified, designated, listed or otherwise considered under any Environmental Law as a “hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,” “hazardous material,” “extremely hazardous waste,” “acutely hazardous waste,” “radioactive waste,” “biohazardous waste,” “pollutant,” “toxic pollutant,” “contaminant,” “restricted hazardous waste,” “infectious waste,” “toxic substance,” or any other term or expression intended to define, list, regulate or classify substances by reason of properties harmful to health, safety or the indoor or outdoor environment, (b) any material, substance or waste which is toxic, ignitable, corrosive, reactive, explosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive, carcinogenic or mutagenic, and which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, any agency of the State of Indiana or any agency of the United States Government, (c) asbestos, (d) oil, petroleum, petroleum based products and petroleum additives and derived substances, (e) urea formaldehyde foam insulation, (f) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), (g) freon and other chlorofluorocarbons, (h) any drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal resources, and (i) lead-based paint.

11.   CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

11.1 Risk of Loss. Seller shall bear all risk of loss or damage to the Property from all causes until the Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to repair such loss or damage.

11.2 Option to Terminate. If prior to the Closing: (a) any material portion of the Property is destroyed by fire, the elements or by any other casualty, or (b) any material portion of the Property is taken by eminent domain, or made the subject of condemnation proceedings (“Taking”), Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice thereof and Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after Purchaser shall have received written notice of such event from Seller (and the Closing Date shall be extended until the two (2) business days after the expiration of such termination election period, if applicable), to terminate this Agreement without further liability, except for indemnity or other obligations or provisions set forth in this Agreement that expressly survive termination. If prior to the Closing a portion of the Property is destroyed by fire, the elements or by any other casualty (which is not a material portion) or a Taking occurs (which does not affect a material portion), subject to Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.5, at Closing Purchaser shall receive a credit of the proceeds previously received by Seller and/or an assignment of proceeds to be received after Closing in accordance with Section 11.3 below, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of any deductible under any applicable insurance policy. For the purposes of this Section 11, a “material portion” of the Property shall mean (i) any portion of the Property valued at more than $500,000.00, or (ii) with respect to a Taking only, any portion which affects access to or parking upon the Property solely to the extent such remaining parking is not in compliance with applicable ordinances. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, then the Escrow Agent will pay the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for indemnity or other obligations or provisions set forth in this Agreement that expressly survive termination.

11.3 Failure to Terminate. If any portion of the Property is destroyed by casualty, taken by eminent domain or made the subject of condemnation proceedings, and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, then at the Closing the following shall occur:

11.3.1 Credit of Award or Proceeds. Seller shall credit on account of the Purchase Price the amount, as applicable, of all condemnation awards actually received by Seller or any sums of money collected by Seller (whether retained by Seller or paid directly to a holder of any lien on the Property) under its policies of insurance or renewals thereof insuring against the loss in question to the extent same have not been expended for the purpose of restoration or repair of the Property.

11.3.2 Assignment of Future Awards. In the case of a condemnation, Seller shall also assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (a) such claims and further sums payable thereunder, and (b) any awards that may be made with respect to any pending or future condemnation proceeding, and, after the Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost or expense to Seller) to cause all such awards to be paid to Purchaser. If such awards are paid to Seller, Seller shall immediately endorse and transfer its rights in the awards to Purchaser. This Section 11.3.2 shall survive the Closing.

11.3.3 Assignment of Casualty Insurance Proceeds. In the case of a casualty, Seller shall also assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to the proceeds of any casualty insurance policies payable to Seller, and after the Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (at no cost or expense to Seller) to cause all such proceeds to be paid to Purchaser. If such proceeds are paid to Seller, Seller shall immediately endorse and transfer its rights in such proceeds to Purchaser. Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This Section 11.3.3 shall survive the Closing.

11.3.4 Credit Deductible. In the case of a casualty, Seller shall credit against the Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, but not to exceed the amount required to repair or replace the portion of the Property destroyed.

11.4 Control of Condemnation Proceedings Before End of Contingency Period. In the event of condemnation proceedings, Seller shall have total control and authority over such proceedings and the prosecution of any claim therein unless the Contingency Period has expired (or Purchaser affirmatively waives the Contingency Period in writing). Seller shall keep Purchaser currently apprised of all actions taken or agreed to by Seller in such proceeding prior to Purchaser’s election to waive the Contingency Period (if not already expired) and/or its termination option hereunder, such that any decision by Purchaser shall be made based on the then-current status of the proceeding. If the Contingency Period has expired, Seller agrees that it will not agree to an award or convey the Property to the condemning authority in lieu of condemnation during Purchaser’s termination election period set forth in Section 11.2, or thereafter if Purchaser does not elect to terminate in accordance with Section 11.2, without Purchaser’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.   DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

12.1 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser is in material default (which default includes Purchaser failing to close as required by and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) of this Agreement prior to or at the Closing, and such default or breach continues for five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such default or breach from Seller, Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect to terminate this Agreement, and the Earnest Money shall be forfeited by Purchaser and retained on behalf of Seller, and both parties shall thereafter be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Seller’s damages would be difficult or impossible to determine in the event of Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement and that the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of such damages. The Earnest Money shall, therefore, be liquidated damages to Seller.

12.2 Seller’s Default. If Seller is in material default (which default includes Seller failing to close as required by and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) of this Agreement prior to or at the Closing Purchaser may elect either:

(i) to be paid the Earnest Money and all interest earned thereon, and reimbursement for all out-of-pocket due diligence expenses and non-refundable fees (including fees paid to its lender) not to exceed $30,000.00 in the aggregate, and thereafter terminate this Agreement, in which event neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further liability hereunder; or

(ii) to maintain this Agreement in full force and effect and bring suit for specific performance or injunctive relief within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date.

Purchaser expressly waives all other remedies, including suit for damages, provided that nothing herein precludes a claim against Seller after Closing for a breach of any representations and warranties, subject to the limitations of Section 8.5 hereof. If Purchaser does not bring suit within sixty (60) days of the scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above.

13.   BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS.

Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not incurred, and shall not have incurred as of the Closing Date, any liability for the payment of any brokerage fee or commission in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement other than Cushman & Wakefield of Georgia, Inc. (to whom Seller shall pay a commission at Closing pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and such Broker). Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not incurred, and shall not have incurred as of the Closing Date, any liability for the payment of any brokerage fee or commission in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all claims of any person claiming a brokerage fee or commission through the indemnifying party. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.

14.   MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings between Seller and Purchaser and constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the transaction herein contemplated. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by Seller and Purchaser.

14.2 Waiver. Each party hereto may waive any breach by the other party of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any default by such other party in the observance or performance of any covenant or condition required to be observed or performed by it contained herein; PROVIDED, ALWAYS, that such waiver or waivers shall be in writing, shall not be construed as a continuing waiver, and shall not extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent breach, act or omission or default or affect each party’s rights resulting therefrom. No waiver will be implied from any delay or failure by either party to take action on account of any default by the other party. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

14.3 Notices. All notices and demands given or required to be given by any party hereto to any other party (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person or sent by facsimile with electronic confirmation of receipt thereof and with concurrent notice given by another method permitted hereunder, or by a reputable overnight carrier that provides a receipt, such as Federal Express or UPS, or by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows (or sent to such other address as any party shall specify to the other party pursuant to the provisions of this Section):

14.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 14.15 or as otherwise set forth in this Section 14.4, this Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that without the consent of Seller, but only after prior written notice to Seller, Purchaser may, at or immediately prior to Closing, assign its interest in this Agreement to an entity that is controlled by Purchaser or its principals, under common control with Purchaser, controls Purchaser, or is a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by the Purchaser. The Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that if the purchaser is a Registered Company, the assignee is required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) for the Property. To assist the assignee in preparing the SEC Filings, the Seller agrees to provide the assignee with the following:

The delivery obligations of this Section 14.4 shall survive the Closing Date and the recordation of the Deed for a period of six (6) months, at which time they will be deemed to be merged into and superseded by the Closing Documents, except to the extent written requests for such information have been delivered by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of such six (6) month period.

14.5 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and the venue of any legal action filed in connection herewith shall be in Atlanta, Georgia. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby absolutely and irrevocably waive any right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding between them.

14.6 No Third Parties Benefited. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the parties hereto do not intend to confer any benefit on any person, firm, or corporation other than the parties to this Agreement, and their respective successors and assigns.

14.7 Legal Fees. In the event either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event a dispute arises concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable legal fees.

14.8 Construction. The section titles or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement. All pronouns and any variations of pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require. Whenever the terms referred to herein are singular, the same shall be deemed to mean the plural, as the context indicates, and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed as if it had been prepared only by Purchaser or Seller but rather as if both Purchaser and Seller had prepared the same. If any term, covenant, condition, or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, at any time or 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 to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.9 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each and every term and provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a business day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first business day following such date.

14.10 Confidentiality. Purchaser covenants and agrees that: (a) all information provided to it by Seller in connection with the Property or resulting from Purchaser’s inspections of the Property and review of relevant materials which is not already public information or which subsequently becomes public information through no fault or action of Purchaser will be held in confidence by it, its agents and employees, and (b) Purchaser will return all such information to Seller in the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may (i) share its information on a need-to-know basis with its consultants, accountants, attorneys and potential equity and financing sources so long as such information is delivered to such parties on the condition of confidentiality consistent with the requirements of this paragraph, and (ii) make disclosure in response to any legal process. Seller and Purchaser further covenant and agree that, neither of them will issue any press releases regarding the Property or the transaction contemplated herein without the prior consultation and express written approval of other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.12 Exhibits. All of the Exhibits and Schedules referenced in this Agreement are attached hereto and incorporated as part of this Agreement and shall have the same meaning as if they were incorporated fully within the text of this Agreement.

14.13 Limitation of Liability. No obligation or liability of Seller or Purchaser hereunder shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of its shareholders, partners, members, trustees, officers, employees, or agent, regardless whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort, or otherwise, and any and all such obligations and liabilities shall be satisfied, if at all, out of such party’s assets only.

14.14 Execution Date. The “Execution Date” shall mean the date upon which the last of Seller and Purchaser has executed this Agreement.

14.15 Tax-Deferred Exchange. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that either party may wish to structure this transaction as a tax deferred exchange of like kind property within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other party to effect such an exchange; provided, however, that (a) the cooperating party shall not be required to acquire or take title to any exchange property, (b) the cooperating party shall not be required to incur any expense or liability whatsoever in connection with the exchange, including, without limitation, any obligation for the payment of any escrow, title, brokerage or other costs including attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to the exchange, (c) no substitution of the effectuating party shall release said party from any of its obligations, warranties or representations set forth in this Agreement or from liability for any prior or subsequent default under this Agreement by the effectuating party, its successors, or assigns, which obligations shall continue as the obligations of a principal and not of a surety or guarantor, (d) the effectuating party shall give the cooperating party at least two (2) business days prior notice of the proposed changes required to effect such exchange and the identity of any party to be substituted in the escrow, (e) the effectuating party shall be responsible for preparing all additional agreements, documents and escrow instructions (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”) required by the exchange, at its sole cost and expense, (f) the effectuating party shall be responsible for making all determinations as to the legal sufficiency, tax considerations and other considerations relating to the proposed exchange, the Exchange Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the cooperating party shall in no event be responsible for, or in any way be deemed to warrant or represent any tax or other consequences of the exchange transaction, and (g) the election to effect such an exchange shall not delay the Closing of the transaction as defined herein.

On the Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) pay or cause to be paid to Seller through an escrow arrangement acceptable to Seller and Buyer and as set forth on the Closing Statement (as hereinafter defined) 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) in connection with the Closing of the sale of the KV Property, cause Escrow Agent to simultaneously pay $750,000.00 of the Deposit to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer as more particularly set forth in Section 7.2.

ARTICLE 4 — TITLE MATTERS

4.1 Title to Real Property. Seller has ordered, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Buyer, 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 updates or supplements to 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 that are not Permitted Exceptions and that materially adversely affect Buyer’s title to the Real Property if such matters first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment 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 object 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 Removal Exceptions (which are to be removed by Seller as set forth in Subsection 4.2.1(c)), Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections and Seller may 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 Removal Exception. If Seller elects not to Remove one or more Title Objections (or is deemed to have so elected), then, within five (5) Business Days after such 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 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 Removal Exceptions. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Removal 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 Removal Exceptions at or prior to the Closing, Buyer may at Closing elect to either (a) exercise Buyer’s rights under Section 11.2, except that the cure period thereunder shall be limited to one (1) Business Day (including, as set forth therein, the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer an 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 and Closing Deadline (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of the Removal of any Required Removal Exceptions or other 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 pursuant to the Title Commitment in such form as Buyer determines is acceptable to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such further 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 any such endorsements that Buyer did not obtain in the Title Commitment or any endorsements thereto, or reissuances thereof, received during the Due Diligence Period, 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 (as Buyer has the opportunity to determine during the Due Diligence Period whether such endorsements are acceptable to Buyer), and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

ARTICLE 5 — BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE/CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY

5.1 Buyer’s Due Diligence.

In addition, commencing prior to the date hereof and continuing to the Closing Date, Seller has and will continue to allow Buyer’s Representatives access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times provided (a) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Property or the rights of tenants; (b) Buyer shall coordinate with Seller and Seller’s Property Manager prior to and during each visit to the Property by any Buyer’s Representatives, and representatives of Seller shall accompany Buyer’s Representatives during each such visit; (c) Buyer’s Representatives may only contact tenants of the Property if Seller receives at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the intended contact and Seller is entitled to have a representative present when any Buyer’s Representatives has any such contact; and (d) Seller or its designated representative shall have the right to pre-approve and be present during any physical testing of the Property (which right of approval shall be exercised reasonably, and with Seller to cooperate with respect to any such request and not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay Seller’s consent to such inspection if Buyer’s consultants have recommended such testing, but Buyer acknowledging that certain physical testing may, under certain circumstances, not be indicated and that Seller’s consultants may offer different opinions with respect to any suggested need for such testing; notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that standard non-invasive testing and gathering of samples of asbestos, lead paint, drinking water and radon for a customary Phase I Environmental Study shall be permitted). Buyer shall deliver promptly to Seller copies of all Buyer’s Reports ; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to deliver a copy of any Buyer’s Report if doing so would violate Buyer’s agreements with third parties. Buyer shall repair promptly any physical damage to the Property caused by its Due Diligence and shall immediately return such portions of the Property to the condition existing immediately prior to Buyer’s Due Diligence. Prior to such time as any Buyer’s Representatives enter the Property, Buyer shall (A) obtain policies of general liability insurance which insure Buyer’s Representatives with liability insurance limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury and property damage and name Seller and Seller’s Property Manager as additional insureds and which are with such insurance companies, provide such coverages and carry such other limits as Seller shall reasonably require, and (B) provide Seller with certificates of insurance evidencing that Buyer has obtained the aforementioned policies of insurance.

5.1.2 Limit on Government Contacts. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called “Phase I” environmental report with respect to the Property and obtaining a standard “zoning letter” or “departmental search” regarding laws or regulations applicable to the Property, Buyer’s Representatives shall not contact any governmental official or representative regarding hazardous materials on or the environmental or other condition of the Property without Seller’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, if Seller’s consent is obtained by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) days prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a representative present when any Buyer’s Representative has any such contact with any governmental official or representative.

5.1.3 Other Due Diligence Obligations of Buyer. All inspections by Buyer’s Representatives shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and shall be in accordance with applicable Laws, including without limitation, Laws relating to worker safety and the proper disposal of discarded materials. Buyer shall cause each of Buyer’s Representatives to be aware of the terms of this Agreement as it relates to the conduct of Buyer’s Due Diligence and the obligations of such parties hereunder.

5.1.4 Waiver and Release. Buyer, for itself and all of the other Buyer’s Representatives, hereby waives and releases Seller and each of the Seller Parties from all claims resulting directly or indirectly from access to, entrance upon, or inspection of the Property by Buyer’s Representatives, except as may arise in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of the Seller Parties. The provisions of this Section 5.1.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5.2 As-Is, Where-Is, With All Faults Sale. Buyer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer has conducted, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and shall continue to conduct, or has waived its right to conduct, such Due Diligence as Buyer has deemed or shall deem necessary or appropriate.

(b) The Property shall be sold, and Buyer shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, except only for Seller’s Warranties, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price, subject to prorations and adjustments as required hereunder.

(c) Except for Seller’s Warranties, none of the Seller Parties have or shall be deemed to have made any verbal or written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter set forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including, but not limited to, the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results of Buyer’s Due Diligence.

(d) Without limiting Seller’s Warranties and the terms of this Agreement applicable thereto, Buyer shall independently confirm to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Property or the Transaction.

In addition, Buyer expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Liabilities may exist with respect to the Property and that Buyer explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the Purchase Price, and that a portion of such consideration, having been bargained for between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown Liabilities shall be given in exchange for a full accord and satisfaction and discharge of all such Liabilities, to the extent expressly discharged herein and under the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C.

5.3 Termination of Agreement During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, is not satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence during the Due Diligence Period, or for any reason whatsoever, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and, in the event of such termination, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer. In the event Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or in the event that the Closing of the sale by APCII of the KV Property occurs prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, in either event, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Article 5. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that although Buyer may continue to conduct Due Diligence after the Due Diligence Period, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such further Due Diligence or otherwise pursuant to this Article 5 after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

5.4 Buyer’s Certificate. At Closing, Buyer shall execute (and cause to be executed by any parties noted thereon) and deliver to Seller, a certificate and agreement (“Buyer’s As-Is Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

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 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period prior to but not including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. Without limiting 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 Rents 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; 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 Vacant Unit Credit. 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

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 the Closing Tax Year, based on (if applicable) the maximum discount available for early payment, regardless of the year for which such taxes are assessed. As a result, if real estate or personal property taxes for the Property are paid in arrears (i.e., taxes paid during any Tax Year are assessed for or otherwise attributable to the previous Tax Year), there shall be no proration of real estate taxes assessed for or attributable to the Property for the Closing Tax Year (that would be due and payable during the following Tax Year), but rather there shall be a proration of real estate taxes payable during the Closing Tax Year and assessed for or attributable to the previous Tax Year. 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. 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 during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year; and

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

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
  Reassessments. 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 to parties other than Seller or Seller’s Property Manager 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 (and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that Buyer may obtain uninterrupted service, with Buyer entering into any account agreements and making any deposits required by any such companies on a timely basis).

6.5 Closing Costs. Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the following: (a) all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including fees due its consultants and attorneys, (b) all lenders’ fees related to any financing to be obtained by Buyer, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instruments by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) the commission due Buyer’s Broker, (e) one half of all escrow or closing charges, (f) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy (including endorsements), and (g) the cost of the Survey (including any reasonable survey costs incurred by Seller in anticipation of the sale of the Property, which costs are not to exceed $18,000 for the PC Property and $7,500 for the KV Property for the survey work ordered by Seller, but which costs otherwise remain subject to negotiation and the delivery of a final invoice from the respective survey providers) Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction: (i) the commission due Seller’s Broker, (ii) all fees due its attorneys, (iii) all costs incurred in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Removal Exceptions, (iv) one half of all escrow or closing charges, and (v) all transfer taxes, sales taxes, documentary stamp taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the transfer of the Property to Buyer (but not with respect to any financing to be obtained by Buyer). 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. At Closing, Seller shall give Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any cash security deposits then held by Seller under the Leases. 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 prorated or credited at Closing as 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 applicable 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.

6.9 Repair Credit. Buyer and Seller have noted that certain repair obligations are in process at the KV Property (the “Doorway Repair Work”); accordingly, at Closing, to the extent such work is not theretofore completed at or prior to Closing and funded (evidenced in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer), Seller shall grant Buyer a credit in reduction of the Purchase Price in the amount of in the amount required to complete such work and/or in the amount necessary to complete the funding of the payment for such work, as applicable, as reasonably determined by Buyer and Seller, and Buyer shall thereafter undertake and assume the Doorway Repair Work. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

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 and Closing Deadline (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such cure.

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 (a) the breach of the terms of Subsection 10.1.1, or (b) the entry on the Real Property and/or the conduct of any Due Diligence by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives at any time prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Buyer’s obligations under the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the mere discovery of a pre-existing environmental or physical condition at the Property; and provided further, however, 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.

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.

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).

ARTICLE 11 — DEFAULT

11.1 Buyer Default. If, at or before Closing, (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 Seller Default. If, at or before 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 (except that if the default is as to Seller’s failure to remove a Required Removal Exception as of Closing, the period “five (5) Business Days” shall be “one (1) Business Day”), 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 any 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.

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.

(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).

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 Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

13.1 Deposit. Upon receipt of a completed W-9 form from Buyer, 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 Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

13.2 Delivery. If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.

13.3 Failure of Closing. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, 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 Section 13.3. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall either (a) continue to hold such amount or items until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court, or (b) file a suit in interpleader in a court of competent jurisdiction, tender such items into court, and obtain an order requiring the parties to litigate their several claims among themselves, upon which event Escrow Agent shall ipso facto be released and discharged from all obligations and duties under this Agreement.

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

13.5 Taxes. Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits. Buyer represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 33-0802019 and Buyer shall provide a Form W-9 to Escrow Agent.

13.6 Execution By Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that 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.

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

ARTICLE 14 — LEASE EXPENSES

14.1 Apartment Leasing. 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 vacant apartment units at the Property to be “made ready” available for reletting and occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement.

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.

(b) 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, which assignments may occur separately as to each of the PC Property and the KV Property, so that one assignee of Buyer shall receive an assignment of the right, title and interest under this Agreement as to the purchase of the PC Property and another assignee of Buyer shall receive an assignment of the right, title and interest under this Agreement as to the purchase of the KV Property.

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

  (i)   Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its intended assignment at least five (5) Business Days prior to the 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;

  (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 Subsection 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 (i) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (ii) 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 36-4367775 for APCI and 36-4367778 for APCII.

(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. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the provisions hereof. All Exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated by reference as if set out herein in full.

15.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.8 Severability. 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 such as Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air, Purolator Courier or Airborne Express) 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. Any party, by written notice to the other in the manner herein provided, may designate an address different from that set forth below.

15.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

15.11 No Recordation. Seller and Buyer each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded and Buyer agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof in connection herewith and (b) to indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Buyer of such notice of pendency or other instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to applicable Laws, Buyer shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens if Buyer is entitled to seek (and is actually seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2 hereof. For purposes of the indemnity set forth in this Section, the definition of Liabilities shall not include “problems or conditions.”

15.12 Additional Agreements; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such documents as the other party shall reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such documents by such party shall not result in any additional liability or cost to such party.

15.13 Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereof or any of the Closing Documents.

15.14 ERISA. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller (as used in this Section, Seller shall be deemed to mean “Seller and Prudential”) that:

(a) Buyer is not an employee pension benefit plan subject to the provisions of Title IV of ERISA or subject to the minimum funding standards under Part 3, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA or Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA, and none of its assets constitutes or will constitute assets of any such employee benefit plan subject to Part 4, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA.

(b) Buyer is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and the funds used by Buyer to acquire the Property are not subject to State statutes regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans.

(c) Neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates (within the meaning of Part V(c) of PTE 84-14) has, or during the immediately preceding year has exercised, the authority to appoint or terminate Prudential as investment manager of any assets of the employee benefit plans whose assets are held by Prudential or to negotiate the terms of any management agreement with Seller on behalf of any such plan.

(d) The Transaction is not specifically excluded by Part I(b) of PTE 84-14.

(e) Buyer is not a related party of Seller (as defined in Part V(h) of PTE 84-14).

(f) The terms of the Transaction have been negotiated and determined at arm’s length, as such terms would be negotiated and determined by unrelated parties.

Buyer hereby agrees to execute such documents or provide such information as Seller or Prudential may require in connection with the Transaction or to otherwise permit Seller or Prudential to determine whether: (i) the Transaction would constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or any applicable similar prohibition under State Law, (ii) the Transaction is otherwise in full compliance with ERISA and such applicable similar State Laws, and (iii) Seller or Prudential would be in violation of ERISA or any applicable similar State Laws by complying with this Agreement or by closing the Transaction. Seller shall not be obligated to consummate the Transaction unless and until Seller and Prudential are reasonably satisfied that the Transaction complies in all respects with ERISA and any applicable similar State Laws, provided however, Seller agrees that (1) provided Buyer provides Seller with all reasonably requested information regarding ERISA compliance, Seller shall make such determination, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and notify Buyer thereof in writing if such determination is negative, not later than ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement (and if the determination is negative, that ERISA compliance is lacking, either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except with respect to obligations that by their express terms survive the termination hereof), and (2) if the representations of Buyer above are true, correct and complete now and as of Closing, then Seller agrees that: (A) the Transaction will not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or any applicable similar prohibition under State Law, (B) the Transaction is in full compliance with ERISA and such applicable similar State Laws, and (C) Seller and Prudential will not be in violation of ERISA or any applicable similar State Laws by complying with this Agreement or by closing the Transaction. The obligations of Buyer under this Section shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 15.14 are intended to inure to the benefit of both Seller and Prudential and Prudential shall be entitled to rely hereon and enforce the provisions hereof.

15.15 Maximum Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Closing Documents, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller Parties, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer, in connection with the Transaction, the Property, under this Agreement and under all Closing Documents (including, without limitation, in connection with the breach of any of Seller’s Warranties for which a claim is timely made by Buyer) shall not exceed $400,000.00 for the PC Property or $400,000.00 for the KV Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

15.16 Time of The Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

15.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.18 Facsimile Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or email shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or emailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or emailed signature of the other party to this Agreement.

15.19 SEC Filings. Buyer may assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to this Agreement in accordance with Section 15.1. The assignee may be a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”) promoted by the Buyer. The Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that if the purchaser is a Registered Company, the assignee is required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Audited Year”) for the Property. To assist the assignee in preparing the SEC Filings, the Seller agrees to provide the assignee with the following prior to and/or up to six (6) months following Closing, so long as Buyer or the assignee reimburse Seller for its costs in providing such items to Buyer or the assignee:

  (a)   Access to bank statements for the Audited Year;

  (b)   Rent Roll as of the end of the Audited Year;

  (c)   Income and expense statements, year-end financial and monthly operating statements for the Audited Year;

Buyer and Buyer’s assignee hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold each of the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against any Liabilities (including reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and expenses) arising out of or resulting from the use by Buyer’s assignee of the information provided to it by Seller or the reliance on such information by any third party or governmental entity; provided, however, that for purposes of such indemnity the definition of Liabilities shall not include “problems or conditions”. The provisions of this Section 15.19 shall survive the Closing.

"Interest Adjustment Period” means each successive one (1) calendar month period until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full, except that the first Interest Adjustment Period is the period from the date of this Note through June 30, 2008. Therefore, the second Interest Adjustment Period shall be the period from July 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008, and so on until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full.

"Lender” means the holder from time to time of this Note.

"LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, the BBA’s LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index released by the BBA most recently preceding the first day of such Interest Adjustment Period, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page. The LIBOR Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the British Bankers Association’s (BBA) LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index released by the BBA most recently preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page. “LIBOR Index Page” is the Bloomberg L.P., page “BBAM”, or such other page for the LIBOR Index as may replace page BBAM on that service, or at the option of Lender (i) the applicable page for the LIBOR Index on another service which electronically transmits or displays BBA LIBOR Rates, or (ii) any publication of LIBOR rates available from the BBA. In the event the BBA ceases to set or publish a LIBOR rate/interest settlement rate for the LIBOR Index, Lender will designate an alternative index, and such alternative index shall constitute the LIBOR Index Page.

"Maximum Interest Rate” means the rate of interest that results in the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law.

"Prepayment Premium Period” means the period during which, if a prepayment of principal occurs, a prepayment premium will be payable by Borrower to Lender.

In the event Freddie Mac shall at any time cease to designate any unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac as “Reference Bills Securities”, then at the option of Lender (i) Lender may select from time to time another unsecured general obligation of Freddie Mac having original durations to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions, and the term “Reference Bills” as used in this Note shall mean such other unsecured general obligations as selected by Lender; or (ii) for any one or more Interest Adjustment Periods, Lender may use the applicable LIBOR Index Rate as the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period(s).

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.

(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) 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 applicable Adjustable Interest Rate, 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) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, 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 the monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d) on an Installment Due Date shall equal the product of (i) annual interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, divided by 360, multiplied by (ii) the number of days in such Interest Adjustment Period.

(e) All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date.

(f) 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).

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

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

(j) 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 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 ]
  Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums,
 
 
[ 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)  

(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 not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period, if a Lockout Period is applicable to this Note. However, if any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of principal being prepaid.

(c) Following the end of the Lockout Period, 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.

(d) Notwithstanding subsection (c) 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 (c) 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.

(e) 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(f).

(f) Except as provided in Section 10(g), 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:

  (i)   5.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs prior to the twelfth (12th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (ii)   4.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the twelfth (12th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the twenty-fourth (24th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (iii)   3.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the twenty-fourth (24th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the thirty-sixth (36th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (iv)   2.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the thirty-sixth (36th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the forty-eighth (48th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (v)   1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the forty-eighth (48th) Installment Due Date under this Note.

(g) 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, or (iii) any prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note that occurs on or after the sixtieth (60th) Installment Due Date under this Note with the proceeds of a fixed interest rate or fixed-to-float interest rate mortgage loan that is the subject of a binding commitment for purchase between the Freddie Mac and a Freddie Mac-approved Program Plusâ Seller/Servicer.

(h) 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.

(i) 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 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:

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. If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower hereby agrees that if a receiver is appointed, the order appointing the receiver may contain a provision requiring the receiver 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, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indebtedness is an obligation of the Borrower and must be paid out of maintenance charges payable by the Borrower’s tenant shareholders under their proprietary leases or occupancy agreements. 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.

(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.

(h) If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation or association, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection or in Section 21, so long as Borrower remains a cooperative housing corporation or association and is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender hereby consents to:

  (i)   the execution of leases of apartments for a term in excess of two years from Borrower to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, so long as such leases, including proprietary leases, are and will remain subordinate to the lien of this Instrument; and

  (ii)   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.

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 AND ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS.

(a) 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.

(b) Borrower shall at all times maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.

(c) 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.

(d) Borrower shall at all times comply with all laws, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority relating to Borrower’s formation, continued existence and good standing in the Property Jurisdiction. Borrower shall at all times comply with its organizational documents, including but not limited to its partnership agreement (if Borrower is a partnership), its by-laws (if Borrower is a corporation or housing cooperative corporation or association) or its operating agreement (if Borrower is an limited liability company, joint venture or tenancy-in-common ). If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a “cooperative housing corporation” as such term is defined in Section 216(b) of the Internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute thereto.

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. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Lender acknowledges and consents to Borrower’s use of the Mortgaged Property as a housing cooperative.

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, (v) payment of amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under Sections 15 and 17, and (vi) advances made by Lender 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”).

(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 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 or association, 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.

(h) If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, until the Indebtedness is paid in full Borrower shall not reduce the maintenance fees, charges or assessments payable by shareholders or residents under proprietary leases or occupancy agreements below a level which is sufficient to pay all expenses of the Borrower, including, without limitation, all operating and other expenses for the Mortgaged Property and all payments due pursuant to the terms of the Note and any Loan Documents.

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; or

  (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, windstorm and allied perils, general boiler and machinery coverage, and business interruption including loss of rental value insurance for the Mortgaged Property with 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. In the event any updated reports or other documentation are reasonably required by Lender in order to determine whether such additional insurance is necessary or prudent, Borrower shall pay for all such documentation at its sole cost and expense. 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.” All policies of Hazard Insurance must include a non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clause in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender.

(b) All premiums on insurance policies required under this Section 19 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. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a legible copy of each insurance policy (or duplicate original) and 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 insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that the policy has been renewed. If Borrower has not delivered a legible copy of each renewal policy (or a duplicate original) prior to the expiration date of any insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver a legible copy of each renewal policy (or a duplicate original) 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. All policies for general liability insurance must contain a standard additional insured provision, in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender.

(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.

  (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.

  (3)   Either directly or indirectly, [See Exhibit B] shall retain at all times a managing interest in the Borrower.

  (4)   At the time of the proposed Preapproved Transfer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing that, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.

(d) The occurrence of any of the following Transfers shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument, provided that Borrower has notified Lender in writing within 30 days following the occurrence of any of the following, and such Transfer does not constitute an Event of Default under any other Section of this Instrument:

(f) Lender shall consent, without any adjustment to the rate at which the Indebtedness secured by this Instrument bears interest or to any other economic terms of the Indebtedness set forth in the Note, to a Transfer that would otherwise violate this Section 21 if, prior to the Transfer, Borrower has satisfied each of the following requirements:

(a) any failure by Borrower to pay or deposit when due any amount required by the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

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

(l) any representations and warranties by Borrower in this Instrument which 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, as well as governmental regulatory agencies having regulatory authority over Lender. 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, or subsequent advances under Section 12, are used to pay, satisfy or discharge a Prior Lien, such loan proceeds or advances 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 granted in this Instrument (and Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise such power of sale in the name and on behalf of Borrower) and any other remedies permitted by Georgia law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Instrument may be exercised by Lender without prior judicial hearing. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

Lender may sell and dispose of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, at the usual place for conducting sales at the courthouse in the county where all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is located, to the highest bidder for cash, first advertising the time, terms and place of such sale by publishing a notice of sale once a week for four consecutive weeks (without regard to the actual number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s advertisements are published in such county, all other notice being waived by Borrower; and Lender may thereupon execute and deliver to the purchaser a sufficient instrument of conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple, which may contain recitals as to the happening of the default upon which the execution of the power of sale granted by this Section depends. The recitals in the instrument of conveyance shall be presumptive evidence that Lender duly complied with all preliminary acts prerequisite to the sale and instrument of conveyance. Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to make such recitals, sale and conveyance. Borrower ratifies all of Lender’s acts, as such attorney-in-fact, and Borrower agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon Borrower and that the conveyance to be made by Lender (and in the event of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, then as to such conveyance) shall be effectual to bar all right, title and interest, equity of redemption, including all statutory redemption, homestead, dower, curtsey and all other exemptions of Borrower, or its successors in interest, in and to the Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety, or in such parcels, manner or order as Lender, in its discretion, may elect, and one or more exercises of the powers granted in this Section shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full, and Lender shall collect the proceeds of such sale, applying such proceeds as provided in this Section. In the event of a deficiency, Borrower shall immediately on demand from Lender pay such deficiency to Lender, subject to the provisions of the Note limiting Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may bid for and purchase the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price. Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, directs; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess. The power and agency granted in this Section 43 are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable by death or otherwise and are in addition to the remedies for collection of the Indebtedness as provided by law.

If the Mortgaged Property is sold pursuant to this Section 43, Borrower, or any person holding possession of the Mortgaged Property through Borrower, shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser at such sale on demand. If possession is not surrendered on demand, Borrower or such person shall be a tenant holding over and may be dispossessed in accordance with Georgia law.

44. RELEASE. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender shall cancel this Instrument. Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable costs incurred in canceling this Instrument.

45. BORROWER’S WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, homestead, moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling or forbearance, and Borrower, for Borrower, Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement (including all rights under O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-85), notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Indebtedness, and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Borrower, including the Mortgaged Property.

46. DEED TO SECURE DEBT. This conveyance is to be construed under the existing laws of the State of Georgia as a deed passing title, and not as a mortgage, and is intended to secure the payment of the Indebtedness.

47. ASSUMPTION NOT A NOVATION. Lender’s acceptance of an assumption of the obligations of this Instrument and the Note, and the release of Borrower pursuant to Section 21, shall not constitute a novation and shall not affect the priority of the lien created by this Instrument.

48. 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.

Creekside Crossing Apartments

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 June 26, 2008, 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 Creekside Crossing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $17,000,000.00 (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.

MULTIFAMILY NOTE
MULTISTATE – ADJUSTABLE RATE
(REVISION DATE 2-15-2008)

     
US $20,000,000.00
  Effective Date: As of June 27, 2008

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (together with such party’s or parties’ successors and assigns, “Borrower”), jointly and severally (if more than one) promises to pay to the order of CAPMARK BANK, a Utah industrial bank the principal sum of Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars (US $20,000,000.00), with interest on the unpaid principal balance as hereinafter provided.

1. Defined Terms.

(a) As used in this Note:

"Adjustable Interest Rate” means the variable annual interest rate calculated for each Interest Adjustment Period so as to equal the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period (truncated at the fifth (5th) decimal place if necessary) plus the Margin. However, in no event will the Adjustable Interest Rate exceed the Capped Interest Rate.

"Amortization Period” means a period of -0- full consecutive calendar months.

"Base Recourse” means a portion of the Indebtedness equal to zero percent (-0-%) of the original principal balance of this Note.

"Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which Lender or the national banking associations are not open for business.

"Capped Interest Rate” means six and five tenths percent (6.5%) per annum.

"Default Rate” means a variable annual interest rate equal to four (4) percentage points above the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect from time to time. However, at no time will the Default Rate exceed the Maximum Interest Rate.

"Index Rate” means, for any Interest Adjustment Period, the Reference Bill Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period.

"Installment Due Date” means, for any monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest, the date on which such monthly installment is due and payable pursuant to Section 3 of this Note. The “First Installment Due Date” under this Note is August 1, 2008.

"Interest Adjustment Period” means each successive one (1) calendar month period until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full, except that the first Interest Adjustment Period is the period from the date of this Note through June 30, 2008. Therefore, the second Interest Adjustment Period shall be the period from July 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008, and so on until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full.

"Lender” means the holder from time to time of this Note.

"LIBOR Index” means the British Bankers Association’s (BBA) one (1) month LIBOR Rate for United States Dollar deposits, as displayed on the LIBOR Index Page used to establish the LIBOR Index Rate.

"LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, the BBA’s LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index released by the BBA most recently preceding the first day of such Interest Adjustment Period, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page. The LIBOR Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the British Bankers Association’s (BBA) LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index released by the BBA most recently preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page. “LIBOR Index Page” is the Bloomberg L.P., page “BBAM”, or such other page for the LIBOR Index as may replace page BBAM on that service, or at the option of Lender (i) the applicable page for the LIBOR Index on another service which electronically transmits or displays BBA LIBOR Rates, or (ii) any publication of LIBOR rates available from the BBA. In the event the BBA ceases to set or publish a LIBOR rate/interest settlement rate for the LIBOR Index, Lender will designate an alternative index, and such alternative index shall constitute the LIBOR Index Page.

"Loan” means the loan evidenced by this Note.

"Lockout Period” is not applicable, there is no Lockout Period under this Note.

"Margin” means two hundred thirty-eight (238) percentage points (238 basis points).

"Maturity Date” means the earlier of (i) July 1, 2015 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”), and (ii) the date on which the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Loan Documents or the exercise by Lender of any right or remedy under any Loan Document.

"Maximum Interest Rate” means the rate of interest that results in the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law.

"Prepayment Premium Period” means the period during which, if a prepayment of principal occurs, a prepayment premium will be payable by Borrower to Lender. The Prepayment Premium Period is the period from and including the date of this Note until but not including the first day of the Window Period.

"Reference Billsâ” means the unsecured general obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) designated by Freddie Mac as “Reference Billsâ Securities” and having original durations to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index, and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions. In the event Freddie Mac shall at any time cease to designate any unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac as “Reference Bills Securities”, then at the option of Lender (i) Lender may select from time to time another unsecured general obligation of Freddie Mac having original durations to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions, and the term “Reference Bills” as used in this Note shall mean such other unsecured general obligations as selected by Lender; or (ii) for any one or more Interest Adjustment Periods, Lender may use the applicable LIBOR Index Rate as the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period(s).

"Reference Bill Index” means the one month Reference Bills. One-month reference bills have original durations to maturity of approximately 30 days.

"Reference Bill Index Rate” means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, 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 such Interest Adjustment Period, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. 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.

"Window Period” means the three (3) consecutive calendar month period prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

"Yield Maintenance Period” is not applicable, there is no Yield Maintenance Period under this Note.

(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) 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 applicable Adjustable Interest Rate, 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) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, 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 the monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d) on an Installment Due Date shall equal the product of (i) annual interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, divided by 360, multiplied by (ii) the number of days in such Interest Adjustment Period.

(e) All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date.

(f) 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).

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

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

(j) 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 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 ]
  Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums,
 
 
[ 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)  

(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 not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period, if a Lockout Period is applicable to this Note. However, if any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of principal being prepaid.

(c) Following the end of the Lockout Period, 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.

(d) Notwithstanding subsection (c) 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 (c) 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.

(e) 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(f).

(f) Except as provided in Section 10(g), 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:

  (i)   5.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs prior to the twelfth (12th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (ii)   4.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the twelfth (12th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the twenty-fourth (24th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (iii)   3.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the twenty-fourth (24th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the thirty-sixth (36th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (iv)   2.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the thirty-sixth (36th) Installment Due Date under this Note and prior to the forty-eighth (48th) Installment Due Date under this Note; or

  (v)   1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the forty-eighth (48th) Installment Due Date under this Note.

(g) 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, or (iii) any prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note that occurs on or after the sixtieth (60th) Installment Due Date under this Note with the proceeds of a fixed interest rate or fixed-to-float interest rate mortgage loan that is the subject of a binding commitment for purchase between the Freddie Mac and a Freddie Mac-approved Program Plusâ Seller/Servicer.

(h) 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.

(i) 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 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

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.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to all remedies provided by this Instrument or existing under applicable law. In exercising any remedies, Lender may exercise its remedies against the UCC Collateral separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s other remedies.

(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. If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower hereby agrees that if a receiver is appointed, the order appointing the receiver may contain a provision requiring the receiver 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, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indebtedness is an obligation of the Borrower and must be paid out of maintenance charges payable by the Borrower’s tenant shareholders under their proprietary leases or occupancy agreements. 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.

(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.

(h) If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation or association, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection or in Section 21, so long as Borrower remains a cooperative housing corporation or association and is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender hereby consents to:

  (i)   the execution of leases of apartments for a term in excess of two years from Borrower to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, so long as such leases, including proprietary leases, are and will remain subordinate to the lien of this Instrument; and

  (ii)   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.

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 AND ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS.

(a) 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.

(b) Borrower shall at all times maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.

(c) 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.

(d) Borrower shall at all times comply with all laws, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority relating to Borrower’s formation, continued existence and good standing in the Property Jurisdiction. Borrower shall at all times comply with its organizational documents, including but not limited to its partnership agreement (if Borrower is a partnership), its by-laws (if Borrower is a corporation or housing cooperative corporation or association) or its operating agreement (if Borrower is an limited liability company, joint venture or tenancy-in-common ). If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a “cooperative housing corporation” as such term is defined in Section 216(b) of the Internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute thereto.

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. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Lender acknowledges and consents to Borrower’s use of the Mortgaged Property as a housing cooperative.

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, (v) payment of amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under Sections 15 and 17, and (vi) advances made by Lender 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”).

(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 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 or association, 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.

(h) If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, until the Indebtedness is paid in full Borrower shall not reduce the maintenance fees, charges or assessments payable by shareholders or residents under proprietary leases or occupancy agreements below a level which is sufficient to pay all expenses of the Borrower, including, without limitation, all operating and other expenses for the Mortgaged Property and all payments due pursuant to the terms of the Note and any Loan Documents.

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; or

  (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, windstorm and allied perils, general boiler and machinery coverage, and business interruption including loss of rental value insurance for the Mortgaged Property with 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. In the event any updated reports or other documentation are reasonably required by Lender in order to determine whether such additional insurance is necessary or prudent, Borrower shall pay for all such documentation at its sole cost and expense. 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.” All policies of Hazard Insurance must include a non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clause in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender.

(b) All premiums on insurance policies required under this Section 19 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. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a legible copy of each insurance policy (or duplicate original) and 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 insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that the policy has been renewed. If Borrower has not delivered a legible copy of each renewal policy (or a duplicate original) prior to the expiration date of any insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver a legible copy of each renewal policy (or a duplicate original) 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. All policies for general liability insurance must contain a standard additional insured provision, in favor of, and in a form approved by, Lender.

(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].

(a) "Transfer” means

  (vii)   any Transfer of an interest in Borrower or any interest in a Controlling Entity (which, if such Controlling Entity were Borrower, would result in an Event of Default) listed in (A) through (F) below (a “Preapproved Transfer”), under the terms and conditions listed as items (1) through (7) below:

  (A)   a sale or transfer to one or more of the transferor’s immediate family members; or

(d) The occurrence of any of the following Transfers shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument, provided that Borrower has notified Lender in writing within 30 days following the occurrence of any of the following, and such Transfer does not constitute an Event of Default under any other Section of this Instrument:

Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default in order to exercise any of its remedies with respect to an Event of Default under this Section 21.

(f) Lender shall consent, without any adjustment to the rate at which the Indebtedness secured by this Instrument bears interest or to any other economic terms of the Indebtedness set forth in the Note, to a Transfer that would otherwise violate this Section 21 if, prior to the Transfer, Borrower has satisfied each of the following requirements:

  (vi)   in the case of a Transfer of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (A) the execution by the transferee of Lender’s then-standard assumption agreement that, among other things, requires the transferee to perform all obligations of Borrower set forth in the Note, this Instrument and any other Loan Documents, and may require that the transferee comply with any provisions of this Instrument or any other Loan Document which previously may have been waived or modified by Lender, (B) if Lender requires, the transferee causes one or more individuals or entities acceptable to Lender to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty in a form acceptable to Lender, and (C) the transferee executes such additional Collateral Agreements as Lender may require;

22. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument:

(a) any failure by Borrower to pay or deposit when due any amount required by the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

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

(l) any representations and warranties by Borrower in this Instrument which 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, as well as governmental regulatory agencies having regulatory authority over Lender. 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, or subsequent advances under Section 12, are used to pay, satisfy or discharge a Prior Lien, such loan proceeds or advances 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 granted in this Instrument (and Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise such power of sale in the name and on behalf of Borrower) and any other remedies permitted by Georgia law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Instrument may be exercised by Lender without prior judicial hearing. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

Lender may sell and dispose of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, at the usual place for conducting sales at the courthouse in the county where all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is located, to the highest bidder for cash, first advertising the time, terms and place of such sale by publishing a notice of sale once a week for four consecutive weeks (without regard to the actual number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s advertisements are published in such county, all other notice being waived by Borrower; and Lender may thereupon execute and deliver to the purchaser a sufficient instrument of conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple, which may contain recitals as to the happening of the default upon which the execution of the power of sale granted by this Section depends. The recitals in the instrument of conveyance shall be presumptive evidence that Lender duly complied with all preliminary acts prerequisite to the sale and instrument of conveyance. Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to make such recitals, sale and conveyance. Borrower ratifies all of Lender’s acts, as such attorney-in-fact, and Borrower agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon Borrower and that the conveyance to be made by Lender (and in the event of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, then as to such conveyance) shall be effectual to bar all right, title and interest, equity of redemption, including all statutory redemption, homestead, dower, curtsey and all other exemptions of Borrower, or its successors in interest, in and to the Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety, or in such parcels, manner or order as Lender, in its discretion, may elect, and one or more exercises of the powers granted in this Section shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full, and Lender shall collect the proceeds of such sale, applying such proceeds as provided in this Section. In the event of a deficiency, Borrower shall immediately on demand from Lender pay such deficiency to Lender, subject to the provisions of the Note limiting Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may bid for and purchase the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price. Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, directs; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess. The power and agency granted in this Section 43 are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable by death or otherwise and are in addition to the remedies for collection of the Indebtedness as provided by law.

If the Mortgaged Property is sold pursuant to this Section 43, Borrower, or any person holding possession of the Mortgaged Property through Borrower, shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser at such sale on demand. If possession is not surrendered on demand, Borrower or such person shall be a tenant holding over and may be dispossessed in accordance with Georgia law.

44. RELEASE. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender shall cancel this Instrument. Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable costs incurred in canceling this Instrument.

45. BORROWER’S WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, homestead, moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling or forbearance, and Borrower, for Borrower, Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement (including all rights under O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-85), notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Indebtedness, and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Borrower, including the Mortgaged Property.

46. DEED TO SECURE DEBT. This conveyance is to be construed under the existing laws of the State of Georgia as a deed passing title, and not as a mortgage, and is intended to secure the payment of the Indebtedness.

47. ASSUMPTION NOT A NOVATION. Lender’s acceptance of an assumption of the obligations of this Instrument and the Note, and the release of Borrower pursuant to Section 21, shall not constitute a novation and shall not affect the priority of the lien created by this Instrument.

48. 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. 504133209

Kedron Village Apartments

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 June 27, 2008, 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 Kedron Village, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $20,000,000.00 (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.

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.

The Company has requested an Advance under the Loan Agreement to finance, in part, the Proposed Acquisition, which Advance shall require the temporary increase of the aggregate principal amount available under the Loan Agreement. The Lender has agreed to make such Advance, to agree to such temporary increase, and to continue to make available to the Company the credit facilities provided for in the Loan Agreement, on the terms and conditions stated herein.

C. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have such meaning as assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

(a) Paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entireties and the following paragraphs are hereby substituted in lieu thereof:

“1(a) Loan. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may elect, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to advance to the Company, from time to time from the date hereof until the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, an aggregate principal amount up to the Aggregate Availability (collectively, the “Loan” and each, an “Advance”). If the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, refuses to fund a requested Advance, the Lender shall use its best efforts to provide notice thereof to the Company. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts repaid by the Company prior to the Maturity Date may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be reborrowed by the Company, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Aggregate Availability, and (ii) neither the Arboleda Advance Overage nor the Creekside and Kedron Advance Overage, once repaid in accordance with the terms hereof, may be reborrowed. In the event that in connection with any Advance made hereunder, the Company has not commenced repayment of such Advance within three (3) months following the applicable Advance Date by a principal amount of at least $500,000, such amount to consist of Equity Proceeds, such failure to repay such Advance in such amount shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

1(b) Interest Rate. The Loan shall bear interest as follows: (i) the outstanding principal amount of that portion of the Loan consisting of the Creekside and Kedron Advance Overage shall bear interest at a fixed rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum, and (ii) the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable LIBOR Rate, except as otherwise provided herein.”

(b) Paragraph 2(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence of such Section in its entirety and substituting the following sentence in lieu thereof:

“It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the proceeds of the Loan made available to the Company pursuant to the Myrtles and Heights Advance shall finance those required acquisition costs on the Properties acquired thereby which are in excess of the costs funded through each Property Loan related thereto in the approximate principal amount of fifty-six percent (56%) of each Property’s appraised value; provided that the sum of such Property Loan proceeds and any proceeds disbursed hereunder pursuant to the Myrtles and Heights Advance shall not exceed seventy-four percent (74%) of each such Property’s appraised value; and (ii) the above percentages shall not apply to (A) the proceeds of the Loan made available to the Company pursuant to the Arboleda Advance, or to the Arboleda Property Loan, or (B) the proceeds of the Loan made available to the Company pursuant to the Creekside and Kedron Advance, or to the Creekside Property Loan or the Kedron Property Loan.”

(c) Paragraph 2(k)(6) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following paragraph is hereby substituted in lieu thereof:

"(6) Each prepayment or repayment of principal shall be applied as follows: (i) to the outstanding amount of the Creekside and Kedron Advance Overage, until the Creekside and Kedron Advance Overage has been repaid in full, any excess principal being applied to the Advance then outstanding which was made on the earliest date as among all remaining outstanding Advances; (ii) then, to the Advance then outstanding which was made on the earliest date as among all outstanding Advances, until such Advance is paid in full, any excess principal being applied to the Advance then outstanding which was made on the earliest date as among all remaining outstanding Advances; (iii) and continuing on in like manner until all outstanding Advances have been paid in full.”

(d) Paragraph 7(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso to the end thereof immediately preceding the period at the end of the sentence:

; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing prohibition, the Pledgor shall be permitted to incur Indebtedness in the form of an unsecured loan in the maximum principal amount of $10,000,000.00 from NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “NNN Advisor Loan”) so long as (i) the NNN Advisor Loan remains at all times unsecured, (ii) the NNN Advisor Loan is expressly subordinated by the terms of its constituent documents to the Loan, the terms of such subordination to be reasonably acceptable to the Lender, and (iii) at any time at which any principal amount is outstanding under the Loan, the Pledgor shall not make any repayment of any principal amount outstanding under the NNN Advisor Loan, whether from Equity Proceeds or from any other source of funding”

(e) The following paragraph is hereby added as a new Paragraph 9(k) to the Loan Agreement:

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.
