Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Property Acquisition

The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Property Acquisition

On January 26, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Steadfast Income REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired a fee simple interest in a 424-unit multifamily residential property located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa commonly known as the Windsor on the River Apartments (the “Windsor Property”) through SIR Windsor on the River, LLC (“SIR Windsor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steadfast Income REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), from Windsor On The River, LLC, a third party seller (the “Seller”).

SIR Windsor acquired the Windsor Property from Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $33,000,000, exclusive of closing costs. SIR Windsor financed the payment of the purchase price for the Windsor Property with (1) proceeds from the Company’s public offering and (2) the assumption of an existing loan from the Iowa Finance Authority (the “Issuer”) to the Seller in the original principal amount of $24,000,000 (the “Windsor Loan”). For additional information on the terms of SIR Windsor’s assumption of the Windsor Loan, see Item 2.03 below.

The Windsor Property contains 424 units consisting of 244 one-bedroom units, 174 two-bedroom units and 6 three-bedroom units. The units at the Windsor Property range in size from 563 to 1,519 square feet with rents ranging from $657 to $1,005 per month. The Windsor Property was originally built in 1982 and received a $2.4 million renovation in 2007. Unit amenities include newly appointed interiors, with oak cabinetry, wood flooring and new carpeting, full-sized appliances, some with washers and dryers, vaulted ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, private patios and balconies and walk-in closets. Property amenities include a fitness center, night-lighted tennis courts, indoor racquetball courts, an Olympic-sized pool and a clubhouse. Occupancy at the Windsor Property was 95% as of January 24, 2012.

An acquisition fee of approximately $666,353 was earned by Steadfast Income Advisor, LLC, the Company’s external affiliated advisor (the “Advisor”), in connection with the acquisition of the Windsor Property, which acquisition fee is expected to be paid to the Advisor subject to the terms of the advisory agreement between the Company, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership.

Management of Property

On the Closing Date, SIR Windsor and Steadfast Management Company, Inc. (the “Property Manager”), an affiliate of the Company’s advisor, entered into a Property Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Property Manager will serve as the exclusive leasing agent and manager of the Windsor Property. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, SIR Windsor will pay the Property Manager a monthly management fee in an amount equal to 3.5% of the Windsor Property’s gross collections (as defined in the Management Agreement) for each month. The Management Agreement has an initial term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis unless either party gives 60 days’ prior notice of its desire to terminate the Management Agreement. SIR Windsor may terminate the Management Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Property Manager in the event of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad acts of the Property Manager or any of the Property Manager’s employees.


The material terms of the Management Agreement described herein are qualified in their entirety by the Management Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

Assumption of Windsor Loan

The Windsor Loan was originally funded with proceeds from the issuance of Iowa Finance Authority Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007A in the original aggregate principal amount of $24,000,000 (the “Bonds”) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated May 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), as trustee for the holders of the Bonds. As of the Closing Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bonds was $23,500,000.

In connection with the acquisition of the Windsor Property, SIR Windsor, the Seller and the Trustee entered into an Assumption Agreement dated the Closing Date (the “Assumption Agreement”). The Assumption Agreement provided for SIR Windsor’s assumption of the Windsor Loan and all of the Seller’s indebtedness and obligations under the Loan Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2007, by and between the Seller and Issuer, the Promissory Note (Series 2007A), dated February 1, 2008, by Seller in favor of the Trustee, the Remarketing Agreement, by and between Stern Brothers & Co. (the “Remarketing Agent”) and Seller (the “Remarketing Agreement”), the Land Use Restriction Agreement by and between the Issuer, the Seller and the Trustee (the “Land Use Agreement”), and the other loan documents related to the Windsor Loan (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).

The entire unpaid principal balance of the Windsor Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on May 1, 2042. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, SIR Windsor is required to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee on each date on which any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds is due (whether on an interest payment date, at maturity or upon redemption or acceleration), an amount which, together with the funds held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund (as defined below), will be sufficient to enable the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due on such date. The Windsor Loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the interest rate borne from time to time by the Bonds, calculated on the same basis and to be paid by SIR Windsor at the same time as interest on the Bonds is calculated and paid from time to time. Interest on the Bonds is calculated by the Remarketing Agent and is equal to the interest rate per annum, which in the professional judgment of the Remarketing Agent having due regard for prevailing market conditions, would be the minimum interest rate necessary to cause the sale of the Bonds on the first day of an interest period at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds plus accrued interest. The Remarketing Agent will establish the interest rate for the Bonds for weekly, semi-annual or annual periods (the “Interest Rate Period”) as provided under the Indenture. The Bonds currently bear interest at a weekly rate. SIR Windsor may change the Interest Rate Period applicable to the Bonds upon 25 days prior written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Credit Provider and the Remarketing Agent.

Pursuant to the Loan Documents, SIR Windsor is to pay the Trustee amounts sufficient to pay the purchase price of Bonds tendered for purchase by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, provided that SIR Windsor will receive a credit for all proceeds from draws on the Letter of Credit (as defined below) in the Bond Fund available for such purposes.


During any period when the Interest Rate Period applicable to the Bonds is weekly, the holders of the Bonds have the option to tender Bonds for purchase by the Trustee on any business day at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the tendered Bond plus any accrued interest thereon. Upon 20 days prior written notice by the Trustee to the Bond holders, the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the Trustee at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus any accrued interest thereon (1) on each date that SIR Windsor converts the Interest Rate Period for the Bonds, (2) on the business day following the last day of any semi-annual or annual Interest Rate Period; and (3) on the interest payment date prior to the expiration or termination of the Letter of Credit (or any replacement thereto) subject to an extension to the term of the Letter of Credit which complies with the terms of the Indenture. In certain circumstances, the Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory redemption.

If SIR Windsor defaults on any payment due under the Windsor Loan, SIR Windsor will pay interest, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the amount of such payment at a rate equal to the rate borne by the Bonds from time to time until such payment is paid in full. So long as any Bond is outstanding, SIR Windsor is to pay, or cause to be paid, all amounts required to prevent any deficiency or default in the payment of the principal or purchase price of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, including any deficiency caused by the action or failure to act of the Trustee, the Issuer or any other person. SIR Windsor may prepay all or any part of the amounts payable under the Loan Documents at the times that Bonds are subject to redemption pursuant to the Indenture, provided that during the term of the Letter of Credit, such prepayment may only be made with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider (as defined below). In the event of a mandatory redemption of the Bonds pursuant to the Indenture, SIR Windsor agrees to prepay, or cause to be prepaid, all amounts necessary for such mandatory redemption.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trustee has established a fund (the “Bond Fund”) into which the Trustee deposits, as and when received: (1) all payments and prepayments by SIR Windsor with respect to the Bonds pursuant to the Loan Documents, (2) proceeds from draws by the Trustee on the Letter of Credit, and (3) all other funds received by the Trustee under the Loan Documents or the Indenture that are required to be deposited into the Bond Fund. All amounts in the Bond Fund will be used to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as such amounts become due and payable (whether on an interest payment date, at maturity or upon redemption or acceleration of the bonds). At any time the amount held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund is sufficient to pay on the dates due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds then remaining unpaid, the Borrower will not be obligated to make any further payments to the Trustee under the Loan Documents.’

The Land Use Agreement imposes certain restrictions upon the use, and requirements for the operation, of the Windsor Property.

Letter of Credit

On the Closing Date, pursuant to a Reimbursement and Credit Agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) by and between SIR Windsor and PNC Bank, National Association (the “Credit Provider”), the Credit Provider issued an Irrevocable Letter of Credit to the Trustee (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit authorizes the Trustee to make one or more draws on the Letter of Credit up to an aggregate of $23,789,727 (as reduced and reinstated from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the “Letter of Credit Amount”), of which initially (1) $23,500,000 will be in respect of the principal of the Bonds and (2) $289,727 will be in respect of accrued interest on the Bonds. The purpose of the Letter of Credit is to provide the Trustee with funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and the purchase price of Bonds that have been tendered pursuant to the tender provisions of the Indenture to the extent remarketing proceeds or other funds are not available for such purposes. The Letter of Credit will expire on January 25, 2017, unless the Credit Provider, at its option, upon written request of SIR Windsor, grants an extension to the Letter of Credit for an additional period. The Credit Provider is under no obligation to grant any such extensions.


SIR Windsor paid the Credit Provider a nonrefundable fee in connection with the origination of the Letter of Credit in the amount of $118,950. In addition, SIR Windsor will pay the Credit Provider an annual fee based upon a fixed percentage of the Letter of Credit Amount (the “Facility Fee”). The Facility Fee will be: (1) for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0% per annum; (2) for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the third anniversary of the Closing Date 2.25% per annum; and (3) for the period commencing on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and thereafter, 2.50% per annum. In addition, SIR Windsor will pay all reasonable transaction charges that the Credit Provider may charge for draws under the Letter of Credit and any and all other reasonable charges and expenses which the Credit Provider may pay or incur relative to the Letter of Credit.

Except with respect to draws on the Letter of Credit by the Trustee to fund the purchase of Bonds tendered for repurchase pursuant to the Indenture (“Tender Draws”), SIR Windsor will reimburse the Credit Provider for all amounts paid by the Credit Provider to the Trustee pursuant to a draw on the Letter of Credit on the day that the Credit Provider pays such amounts to the Trustee. The amount of any Tender Draw will be due and payable by SIR Windsor within five days of the date the Tender Draw is paid by the Credit Provider to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement. Interest on any amounts due under the Reimbursement Agreement will accrue from the date such amounts become due and payable until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to a fluctuating rate established by the Reimbursement Agreement plus 3.0%, subject to certain exceptions with respect to amounts payable with respect to Tender Draws.

SIR Windsor’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by (1) a Mortgage, Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing by SIR Windsor in favor of the Credit Provider with respect to the Windsor Property, (2) a Pledge and Security Agreement by and among SIR Windsor, the Trustee and the Credit Provider, pursuant to which SIR Windsor pledged, assigned, transferred and delivered to Credit Provider all of SIR Windsor’s right, title and interest in, and granted Credit Provider a first-priority lien upon, all Bonds repurchased by the Trustee from the holders thereof pursuant to the Indenture using proceeds from a draw on the Letter of Credit, and (3) an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the due and punctual payment and performance of SIR Windsor’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement by the Company in favor of the Credit Provider.

Pursuant to a Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity”), the Company and SIR Windsor (collectively, the “Indemnitors”) have agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Credit Provider and its affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which any such party may directly or indirectly incur as a result of, among other things, (1) the use, storage, treatment, release, discharge, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) in, on or under the Windsor Property in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or (2) the breach of any covenant or representation or warranty of any Indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity.

The material terms of the agreements described herein are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.11 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

A property manager or business manager at the Property and any other persons performing functions substantially similar to those of a business manager, including but not limited to assistant managers, leasing directors, leasing agents, sales directors, sales agents, bookkeepers, and other administrative and/or maintenance personnel performing work at the site, and on-site maintenance personnel, shall not be considered executive employees of Manager. All reimbursable payments made by Manager hereunder shall be reimbursed from funds deposited in an account established pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Manager shall not be obligated to make any advance to or for the account of Owner nor shall Manager be obligated to incur any liability or obligation for the account of Owner without assurance that the necessary funds for the discharge thereof will be provided by Owner. In the performance of its duties as agent and manager of the Property, Manager shall act solely as an independent contractor of Owner. All debts and liabilities to third persons incurred by Manager in the course of its operation and management of the Property shall be the debts and liabilities of Owner only, and Manager shall not be liable for any such debt or liabilities, except to the extent Manager has exceeded its authority hereunder.

Section 3.2 Covenants Concerning Payment of Operating Expenses. Owner covenants to pay all sums for reasonable operating expenses in excess of gross receipts required to operate the Property upon written notice and demand from Manager within five days after receipt of written notice for payment thereof.

Section 3.3 Employment of Personnel. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to investigate, hire, pay, supervise and discharge the personnel necessary to be employed by it to properly maintain, operate and lease the Property, including without limitation a property manager or business manager at the Property. Such personnel shall in every instance be deemed agents or employees, as the case may be, of Manager. Owner has no right of supervision or direction of agents or employees of Manager whatsoever; however, Owner shall have the right to require the reassignment or termination of any employee. All Owner directives shall be communicated to Manager’s senior level management employees. Manager and all personnel of Manager who handle or who are responsible for handling Owner’s monies shall be bonded in


favor of Owner. Manager agrees to obtain and keep in effect fidelity insurance in an amount not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). All reasonable salaries, wages and other compensation of personnel employed by Manager, including so-called fringe benefits, worker’s compensation, medical and health insurance and the like, shall be deemed to be reimbursable expenses of Manager. Manager may allow its employees who work at the Property and provide services to the Property after normal business hours, to reside at the Property for reduced rents (or rent fee as provided in the Operating Budget) in consideration of their benefit to Owner and the Property, provided such reduced rents are reflected in the Annual Business Plan.

Section 3.4 Utility and Service Contracts. Manager shall, at Owner’s expense and in Owner’s name or in Manager’s name as agent for Owner, enter into contracts for water, electricity, gas, fuel, oil, telephone, vermin extermination, trash removal, cable television, security protection and other services deemed by Manager to be necessary or advisable for the operation of the Property. Manager shall also, in Owner’s name or in Manager’s name as agent for Owner and at Owner’s expense, place orders for such equipment, tools, appliances, materials, and supplies as are reasonable and necessary to properly maintain the Property. Owner agrees to pay or reimburse Manager for all expenses and liabilities incurred by reason of this Section provided that such amounts are in accordance with the Operating Budget.

Section 3.5 Maintenance and Repair of Property. Manager shall use diligent efforts to maintain, at Owner’s expense, the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Property in good condition and repair, including interior and exterior cleaning, painting and decorating, plumbing, carpentry and such other normal maintenance and repair work as may be necessary or reasonably desirable taking into consideration the amount allocated therefor in the Annual Business Plan. With respect to any expenditure not contemplated by the Annual Business Plan, Manager shall not incur any individual item of repair or replacement in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) unless authorized in writing by Owner’s Representative, except, however, that emergency repairs immediately necessary for the preservation and safety of the Property or to avoid the suspension of any service to the Property or danger of injury to persons or damage to property may be made by Manager without the approval of Owner’s Representative. Owner shall not establish standards of maintenance and repair that violate or may violate any laws, rules, restrictions or regulations applicable to Manager or the Property or that expose Manager to risk of liability to tenants or other persons. Manager shall not be obligated by this Section to perform any Major Capital Improvements.

Section 3.6 Supervision of Major Capital Improvements or Repairs. When requested by Owner in writing or as set forth in an Approved Business Plan, Manager or an affiliate thereof, including Pacific Coast Land & Development, Inc., shall, at Owner’s expense and in Owner’s name or in Manager’s name as agent for Owner, supervise the installation and construction of all Major Capital Improvements to the Property where such work constitutes other than normal maintenance and repair, for additional compensation as set forth in a separate agreement. If Owner and Manager fail to reach an agreement for Manager’s additional compensation as provided in this Agreement, Section 3.6, Owner may contract with a third party to supervise installation or construction of Major Capital Improvements. In such events, Manager may negotiate contracts with all necessary contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, architects, and engineers on behalf of, and in the name of, Owner, and may


compromise and settle any dispute or claim arising therefrom on behalf of and in the name of Owner; provided only that Manager shall act in good faith and in the best interest of Owner at all times and Owner shall approve all contracts for such work. Manager will furnish or will cause to be furnished all personnel necessary for proper supervision of the work and may assign personnel located at the Property where such work is being performed to such supervisory work (and such assignment shall not reduce or abate any other fees or compensation owed to Manager under this Agreement). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Major Capital Improvements” shall mean work having an estimated cost of $25,000 or more.

Owner acknowledges that Manager, or an affiliate of Manager, may bid on any such work, and that Manager, or an affiliate of Manager, may be selected to perform part or all of the work; provided that if Manager desires to select itself, or its affiliate to do any work, it shall first notify Owner of the terms upon which it, or its affiliate, proposes to contract for the work, and terms upon which the independent contractors have offered to perform, and shall state the reasons for preferring itself, or its affiliate, over independent contractors and Owner shall have fifteen days to disapprove Manager, or its affiliate, and to request performance by an independent contractor. Only Owner shall have the power to compromise or settle any dispute or claim arising from work performed by Manager, or its affiliate; and it is expressly understood that the selection of Manager, or its affiliate, will not affect any fee or other compensation payable to Manager hereunder.

Section 3.7 Insurance.

(a) Owner Requirements. Owner agrees to maintain all forms of insurance required by law or by any loan requirements for the Property and as otherwise deemed by Owner to be reasonable and necessary to adequately protect Owner and Manager, including but not limited to public liability insurance, boiler insurance, fire and extended coverage insurance, and burglary and theft insurance. All insurance coverage shall be placed with such companies, in such amounts and with such beneficial interest appearing therein as shall be reasonably acceptable to Owner. Public liability insurance shall be maintained in such amounts as Owner determines as commercially reasonable or as otherwise required by its lenders or investors, but in no case in an amount less than $5,000,000.

Owner agrees to timely provide evidence of required insurance to Manager, and acknowledges that if evidence of insurance coverage is not timely furnished, Manager may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such coverage on Owner’s behalf. Manager shall be named an additional insured on all Owner obtained insurance.

(b) Manager Requirements. Manager agrees to maintain, at its own expense, public liability insurance in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and all other forms of insurance required by law and as otherwise deemed by Owner and Manager to be reasonable and necessary to adequately protect Owner and Manager, including but not limited to workers compensation insurance, professional liability, employee practices, and fidelity insurance. Manager agrees to timely provide evidence of required insurance to Owner and to name Owner as an additional insured on appropriate policies.


Manager shall use its diligent efforts to investigate and make a written report to the insurance company as to all accidents, claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, any damage or destruction to the Property and the estimated cost of repair thereof, and shall prepare any and all reports for any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports shall be timely filed with the insurance company as required under the terms of the insurance policy involved. With the prior written approval of Owner, Manager is authorized to settle any and all claims against insurance companies arising out of any policies, including the execution of proofs of loss, the adjustment of losses, signing of receipts and collection of monies (no approval by Owner shall be required for the settlement of claims of $5,000 or less). Manager is further authorized to contract for the maintenance and repair of any damage or casualty in accordance with Section 3.6 above. Manager shall receive as an additional fee for such services that fee designated in the loss adjustment as a general contractor’s fee, provided that insurance proceeds that exceed the cost of repairing the damage or restoring the loss are available to pay such fees. In such event Manager shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Manager in adjusting such loss and contracting for repairs.

(c) Loss or Liability Claims. Owner and Manager mutually agree for the benefit of each other to look only to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement in the event any demand, claim, action, damage, loss, liability or expense occurs as a result of injury to person or damage to property, regardless whether any such demand, claim, action, damage, loss, liability or expense is caused or contributed to, by or results from the negligence of Owner or Manager or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, directors, officers, agents or independent contractors and regardless whether the injury to person or damage to property occurs in and about the Property or elsewhere as a result of the performance of this Agreement. Except for claims that are covered by the indemnity contained in Section 3.7(d) below, Owner agrees that Owner’s insurance shall be primary without right of subrogation against Manager with respect to all claims, actions, damage, loss or liability in or about the Property. Nevertheless, in the event such insurance proceeds are insufficient to satisfy (or such insurance does not cover) the demand, claim, action, loss, liability or expense, Owner agrees, at its expense, to indemnify and hold Manager and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or independent contractors harmless to the extent of excess liability. For purposes of this Section 3.7(c), any deductible amount under any policy of insurance shall not be deemed to be included as part of collectible insurance proceeds.

(d) Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Manager and its representative subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or independent contractors from and against all claims, demands, or legal proceedings (including expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the defense of any such matter) (each a “Claim”) that are brought against Manager arising out of the operation or management of the Project, except with respect to claims arising out of Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Manager shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Owner and its representative subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or independent contractors from all Claims arising out of (he gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager. The indemnification obligations under this Section 3.7(d) shall survive termination of this Agreement.


(e) Acts of Tenants and Third Parties. In no event shall Manager have any liability to Owner or others for any acts of vandalism, trespass or criminal activity of any kind by tenants or third parties on or with respect to the Property and Owner’s insurance shall be primary insurance without right of subrogation against Manager regarding claims arising out of or resulting from acts of vandalism, trespass or criminal activity.

Section 3.8 Collection of Monies. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to collect all rents and other charges due from tenants, users of garage spaces, carports, storage spaces (if any), commercial lessees (if any) and concessionaires (if any) in respect of the Property and otherwise due Owner with respect to the Property in the ordinary course of business, provided that Manager does not guarantee the creditworthiness of any tenants, users, lessees or concessionaires or collectability of accounts receivable from any of the foregoing. Owner authorizes Manager to request, demand, collect, receive and receipt for all such rent and other charges and to institute legal proceedings in the name of Owner, and at Owner’s expense, for the collection thereof, and for the dispossession of tenants and other persons from the Property or to cancel or terminate any lease, license or concession agreement for breach or default thereunder, and such expense may include the engaging of legal counsel for any such matter. All monies collected by Manager shall be deposited in the separate bank account referred to in Section 5.2 herein.

Section 3.9 Manager Disbursements.

(a) Manager’s Compensation and Reimbursements. From Gross Collections, Manager shall be authorized to retain and pay (1) Manager’s compensation, together with all sales or other taxes (other than income) which Manager is obligated, presently or in the future, to collect and pay to the State or any other governmental authority with respect to the Property or employees at the Property, (2) the amounts reimbursable to Manager under this Agreement, (3) the amount of all real estate taxes and other impositions levied by appropriate authorities with respect to the Property which, if not escrowed with any mortgagee, shall be paid upon specific written direction of Owner before interest begins to accrue thereon; and (4) amounts otherwise due and payable as operating expenses of the Property authorized to be incurred under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Debt Service. The provisions of this Section 3.9 regarding disbursements shall include the payment of debt service related to any mortgages of the Property, unless otherwise instructed in writing by Owner.

(c) Third Parties. All costs, expenses, debts and liabilities owed to third persons that are incurred by Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in the course of managing, leasing and operating the Property shall be the responsibility of Owner and not Manager. Owner agrees to provide sufficient working capital funds to Manager so that all amounts due and owing may be promptly paid by Manager. Manager is not obligated to advance any funds. If at any time there is not sufficient cash in the account available to Manager pursuant to Section 5.2 with which to promptly pay the bills due and owing, Manager will request that the necessary additional funds be deposited by Owner in an amount sufficient to meet the shortfall. Owner will deposit the additional funds requested by Manager within five days.


(d) Other Provisions. The provisions of this Section 3.9 regarding reimbursements to Manager shall not limit Manager’s rights under any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.10 Use and Maintenance of Premises. Manager agrees that it will not knowingly permit the use of the Property for any purpose that might void any insurance policy held by Owner or that might render any loss thereunder uncollectible, or that would be in violation of Governmental Requirements, or any covenant or restriction of any lease of the Property. Manager shall use its good faith efforts to secure substantial compliance by the tenants with the terms and conditions of their respective leases. All costs of correcting or complying with, and all fines payable in connection with, all orders or violations affecting the Property placed thereon by any governmental authority or Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body shall be at the cost and expense of Owner.

Section 3.11 Annual Business Plan.

The Annual Business Plan shall include a detailed budget of projected income and expenses for the Property for such Fiscal Year (the “Operating Budget”) and a detailed budget of projected capital improvements for the Property for such Fiscal Year (the “Capital Budget”).

(b) Approval. Manager shall meet with Owner to discuss the proposed Annual Business Plan and Owner shall approve the proposed Annual Business Plan within 20 days of its submission to Owner, or as soon thereafter as commercially practicable. To be effective, any notice which disapproves a proposed Annual Business Plan must contain specific objections in reasonable detail to individual line items. If Owner fails to provide an effective notice disapproving a proposed Annual Business Plan within such 20-day period, the proposed Annual Business Plan shall be deemed to be approved. Owner acknowledges that the Operating Budget is intended only to be a reasonable estimate of the income and expenses of the Property for the ensuing Fiscal Year. Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Operating Budget.

(c) Revision. Manager may revise the Operating Budget from time to time, as necessary, to reflect any unpredicted significant changes, variables or events or to include significant additional, unanticipated items of revenue and expense. Any such revision shall be submitted to Owner for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) Implementation. Manager agrees to use diligence and to employ all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Property shall not exceed the Operating Budget either in total or in any one accounting category. Any expense causing or likely to cause a variance of greater than ten percent (10%) or $25,000, whichever is


greater, in any one accounting category for the current month cumulative year-to-date total shall be promptly explained to Owner by Manager in the next operating statement submitted by Manager to Owner.

Section 3.12 Records, Reporting. Manager shall maintain at the regular business office of Manager or at such other address as Manager shall advise Owner in writing, separate books and journals and orderly files, containing rental records, insurance policies, leases, correspondence, receipts, bills and vouchers, and all other documents and papers pertaining directly to the Property and the operation thereof. All corporate statements, receipts, invoices, checks, leases, contracts, worksheets, financial statements, books and records, and all other instruments and documents relating to or arising from the operation or management of the Property shall be and remain the property of Owner and the Owner shall have the right to inspect such records at any reasonable time upon prior notice; Manager shall have the right to request and maintain copies of all such matters, at Manager’s cost and expense, at all reasonable times during the term of this Agreement, and for a reasonable time thereafter not to exceed three years. All on-site records, including leases, rent rolls, and other related documents shall remain at the respective Property for which such records are maintained as the property of Owner.

Section 3.13 Financial Reports.

(a) Monthly Reports. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner’s Representative a statement of cash flow for the Property (on a cash and not an accrual basis) for the preceding calendar month. All notices from any mortgagee claiming any default in any mortgage on the Property, and any other notice from any mortgagee not of a routine nature, shall be promptly delivered by Manager to Owner’s Representative.

(b) Annual Reports. Within 45 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, Manager shall deliver to Owner’s Representative a statement of cash flow showing the results of operations for the Fiscal Year or portion thereof during which the provisions of this Agreement were in effect.

Section 3.14 Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Manager shall comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the management, leasing and occupancy of the Property, including any regulatory or use agreements. Manager acknowledges the regulatory or land use agreement(s) listed on Exhibit C attached to this Agreement (the “Regulatory Agreement”), and agrees to comply with such agreement and to promptly provide Owner with all notices and communications from governmental agencies with respect to the Regulatory Agreement. Owner acknowledges that Manager does not hold itself out to be an expert or consultant with respect to, or represent that, the Property currently complies with applicable ordinances, regulations, rules, statutes, or laws of governmental entities having jurisdiction over the Properties or the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar bodies or with the Regulatory Agreement (collectively, “Governmental Requirements”). Manager shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to comply with any Governmental


Requirements applicable to Manager, including the collection and payment of all sales and other taxes (other than income taxes) that may be assessed or charged by the State or any governmental entities in connection with Manager’s compensation. If Manager discovers that the Property does not comply with any Governmental Requirements, Manager shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to bring the Property into compliance with such Governmental Requirements, subject to the limitation contained in Section 3.5 of this Agreement regarding the making of alterations and repairs. Manager, however, shall not take any such action as long as Owner is contesting or has affirmed its intention to contest and promptly institute proceedings contesting any such order or requirement. If, however, failure to comply promptly with any such order or requirement would or might expose Manager to civil or criminal liability, Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be complied with and Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Manager harmless for taking such actions and to promptly reimburse Manager for expenses incurred thereby. Manager shall promptly, and in no event later than 72 hours from the time of receipt, notify Owner’s Representative in writing of all such orders or notices. Manager shall not be liable for any effort or judgment or for any mistake of fact or of law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence of Manager.

However, the Borrower may contest in good faith any such event and may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during any period, including appeals, when the Borrower is in good faith contesting the same, provided that such non-payment does not have a material adverse effect on the operations (financial or otherwise), business or properties of the Borrower.

(h) All necessary orders, consents, authorizations, permits, licenses and approvals legally required by governmental authorities to be obtained on the date hereof in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance and construction of the Project and of other facilities of the Borrower have been obtained and are in full force and effect, and the Borrower knows of no reason why it cannot obtain all other necessary orders, consents, authorizations, permits, licenses and approvals legally required by governmental authorities to be obtained after the date hereof in connection with the completion of the construction and the operation of the Project.

(i) No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon the issuance of the Bonds, would constitute a material violation of, breach of, or default under any of the Bond Documents or any material agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Reimbursement Agreement or this Agreement or which, with the lapse of time or with the giving of notice or both, would become or constitute such an Event of Default or such a violation, breach or default.

(j) The information furnished by the Borrower and filed by the Issuer with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 149(e) of the Code is true and correct in all material respects.

(k) Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or by the Indenture, contains, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, any untrue statement.

(1) The Borrower agrees to comply with the requirements of Section 148 of the Code as described in the Tax Certificate regarding the payment of certain investment earnings to the United States.

(m) None of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 147(b) of the Code.

(n) No event has occurred and no condition exists with respect to the Borrower that would constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement or that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would become an “Event of Default” under this Agreement.

(o) The Credit Provider does not control, either directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the Borrower or any of its members. Likewise, neither the Borrower or its members control, either directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the Credit Provider. “Control” for this purpose has the meaning given to such term in Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Borrower agrees to provide written notice to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Bondholders at least thirty days prior to its consummation of any transaction that would result in the Borrower controlling or being controlled by the Credit Provider or any provider of an alternate Credit Facility.

Moneys (including investment proceeds) remaining in the Project Fund on the date of such certificate may be used, at the direction of the Borrower Representative with the consent of the Credit Provider, to the extent indicated, for one or more of the following purposes:

(1) for the payment, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, of any Cost of the Project not theretofore paid, as specified in the above-mentioned completion certificate, or

(2) for transfer to the Bond Fund, but only if, and to the extent that, the Trustee and the Issuer have been furnished with an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such transfer is lawful under the Act and does not adversely affect the exclusion from Federal gross income of interest on any of the Series 2007A Bonds.

(a) to pay all or part of the price of purchasing Bonds on tender, in the open market or at private sale, at a purchase price not in excess of 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds plus accrued interest to the date of such purchase for the purpose of cancellation;

(b) for the payment of qualifying costs of any additional improvements to be installed or constructed on the Project site, provided that such use of funds is permitted under the Act; or

(c) for any other purpose permitted by the Act;

provided, that the earnings on the investment of the moneys on deposit in such escrow account shall be transferred on each interest payment date on the Bonds to the Bond Fund and shall be used to pay interest on the Bonds coming due on each interest payment date on the Bonds (or to reimburse the Credit Provider for draws under the Letter of Credit to pay interest on the Bonds), but no moneys on deposit in such escrow account may be used for any of the purposes specified in this paragraph (including the redemption of Bonds) unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer have been furnished with an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such use is lawful under the Act and does not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for Federal income tax purposes of the interest on any of the Series 2007A Bonds; and provided further that, until used for one or more of the foregoing purposes, moneys on deposit in such escrow account may be invested in investments authorized by Section 4.4 of this Agreement, but may not be invested to produce a yield on such moneys (computed from the Completion Date and taking into account any investment of such moneys during the period from the Completion Date until such moneys were deposited in such escrow account) greater than the yield on the Bonds from which such proceeds were derived, all as such terms are used in and determined in accordance with the code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

- 11 -


In the event the moneys in the Project Fund available for payment of the Costs of the Project should not be sufficient to pay the costs thereof in full, the Borrower agrees, to pay directly, or to deposit in the Project Fund moneys sufficient to pay, the costs of completing the Project as may be in excess of the moneys available therefor in the Project Fund. THE ISSUER DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE MONEYS WHICH WILL BE PAID INTO THE PROJECT FUND AND WHICH, UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE COSTS OF THE PROJECT, WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY ALL THE COSTS WHICH WILL BE INCURRED IN THAT CONNECTION. The Borrower agrees that if after exhaustion of the moneys in the Project Fund the Borrower should pay or deposit moneys in the Project Fund for the payment of any portion of the said Costs of the Project pursuant to the provisions of this Section, it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Issuer, the Trustee, the Credit Provider, or from the owners of any of the Bonds, nor shall the Borrower be entitled to any diminution of the amounts payable under Article V hereof.

The Trustee may make any and all such investments through its own investment department or through any of the Trustee’s affiliates or subsidiaries.

The investments so purchased shall be held by the Trustee and shall be deemed at all times a part of the fund, account or subaccount for which they were made and the interest accruing thereon and any profit realized therefrom shall be credited to such fund, account or subaccount and any net losses resulting from such investment shall be charged to such fund, account or subaccount.

Section 4.5. Operation of the Project. The Borrower will not, nor will it allow any lessee, sublessee or other user of the Project to, make any material change in its use of the Project unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such change will not impair the exclusion of interest on any Series 2007A Bonds issued from the gross income of holders of the Series 2007A Bonds for Federal income tax purposes.

The Borrower agrees to operate the Project, or cause any lessee, sublessee or other user of the Project to operate the Project, as a “project” as contemplated by the Act and in such a manner that it will not impair the exclusion of interest on any Series 2007A Bonds issued from gross income of the holders of the Series 2007A Bonds for Federal income tax purposes.

Upon a transfer, sale or sublease of all or any portion of the Borrower’s interest in the Project (to the extent permitted hereunder and under the Reimbursement Agreement), the Borrower will obtain the agreement of the purchaser, transferee or sublessee of the Project or any interest therein to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of whether such purchaser, transferee or sublessee assumes the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement generally.

In addition, the Borrower shall provide the Iowa Finance Authority with any other information which may from time to time be requested concerning the Bonds according to the rules and interpretations of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board required to be disclosed concerning conduit debt obligations.

Section 4.9. No Warranty by Issuer. THE BORROWER RECOGNIZES THAT THE ISSUER HAS NOT MADE AN INSPECTION OF THE PROJECT OR OF ANY FIXTURE OR OTHER ITEM CONSTITUTING A PORTION THEREOF, AND THE ISSUER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME OR THE LOCATION, USE, DESCRIPTION, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR USE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONDITION OR DURABILITY THEREOF, OR AS TO THE ISSUER’S OR BORROWER’S TITLE THERETO OR OWNERSHIP THEREOF OR OTHERWISE, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE BY THE BORROWER. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY OF ANY NATURE IN THE PROJECT OR ANY FIXTURE OR OTHER ITEM CONSTITUTING A PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER PATENT OR LATENT, THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.9 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS BY THE ISSUER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT OR ANY FIXTURE OR OTHER ITEM CONSTITUTING A PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER ARISING PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OF THE STATE OF IOWA OR ANOTHER LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR OTHERWISE.

ARTICLE V.

PAYMENTS

Section 5.1. Repayment. (a) Principal, Premium and Interest. As evidence of its obligation to repay the Loan made hereunder by the Issuer, the Borrower will issue its Series 2007B Note in the original principal amount of $24,000,000. When and if the Series 2007A Bonds are issued, the Borrower will issue its Series 2007A Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of any Series 2007A Bonds issued. At such time, the Borrower’s Series 2007B Note will be reduced in a like principal amount. The Notes shall be dated the date of their respective issuance and delivery and shall mature on May I, 2042, except as the provisions hereinafter set forth with respect to prepayment may become applicable thereto. The Notes shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date of the Notes at such rates equal to the interest rates from time to time borne by the Bonds, calculated on the same basis and to be paid at the same times as interest on the Bonds is calculated and paid from time to time. The Notes shall be subject to prepayment as herein provided. Payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or other immediately available funds. The Notes shall be in substantially the same forms as Exhibit C and Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Issuer and the Borrower agree that the Notes shall be payable to the Trustee. The Borrower covenants and agrees that the payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall at all times be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds; provided, that the Excess Amount (as hereinafter defined) held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund on a payment date shall be credited against the payment due on such date; and provided further, that, subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, if at any time the amount held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund should be sufficient (and remain sufficient) to pay on the dates required the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds then remaining unpaid, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any further payments under the provisions of this Section 5.1(a) or on the Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, if on any date the Excess Amount held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund is insufficient to make the then required payments of principal (whether at maturity or upon redemption prior to maturity or acceleration), premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds on such date, the Borrower shall forthwith pay such deficiency. The term “Excess Amount” as of any interest payment date shall mean the amount in the Bond Fund on such date in excess of the amount required for the payment of the principal of the Bonds which theretofore has matured at maturity or on a date fixed for redemption and premium, if any, on such Bonds in all cases where Bonds have not been presented for payment and paid, or for the payment of interest which has theretofore come due in all cases where interest checks have not been presented for payment and paid.

If the Borrower shall fail to pay any installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or under this Section 5.1 (a), the installment so in default shall continue as an obligation of the Borrower until the amount so in default shall have been fully paid, and the Borrower agrees to pay the same with interest thereon until paid (to the extent legally enforceable) at a rate equal to the rate borne by the Bonds from time to time from the due date thereof until paid. If the Borrower defaults in any payment required by this Section, the Borrower will pay interest (to the extent allowed by law) on such amount until paid at the rate provided for in the Bonds.

 

- 14 -


(b) Purchase Price. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Tender Agent (or if the Bonds are in the Book Entry System, the Trustee) amounts sufficient to pay the purchase price of Bonds on each Purchase Date and Mandatory Tender Date pursuant to the Indenture, provided the Borrower shall receive a credit for the amount of remarketing or Letter of Credit proceeds available for such purpose in the Bond Fund on each such date.

(c) Borrower to Make up Deficiencies. In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as any Bonds are outstanding, the Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, all amounts required to prevent any deficiency or default in any payment of the principal or purchase price of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, including any deficiency caused by an act or failure to act by the Trustee, the Borrower, the Issuer or any other person.

(d) Assignment. All amounts payable under this Section by the Borrower are assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Bondholders. The Borrower consents to such assignment. Accordingly, the Borrower will pay, or cause to be paid, directly to the Trustee (or in the case of the purchase price of Bonds when the Bonds are not in a Book Entry System, to the Tender Agent) at its principal corporate trust office all payments payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section without defense or set-off by reason of any dispute between the Borrower and the Issuer or the Trustee.

(e) Payments under Reimbursement Agreement. The Borrower will pay all amounts owing to the Credit Provider under the Reimbursement Agreement directly to the Credit Provider when due and no such payment shall be made to the Trustee.

(f) Credit. In the event that the Trustee is authorized and directed to draw moneys under the Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and the purchase price of Bonds if and when due, any moneys derived from a drawing under the Letter of Credit shall constitute a credit against the obligations of the Borrower to make corresponding payments on the Notes and under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2. Additional Payments. The Borrower agrees to pay the following within 30 days after receipt of a bill therefor:

(a) The reasonable fees and expenses of the Issuer, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with this Agreement and the Bonds, such fees and expenses to be paid directly to the Issuer or as otherwise directed in writing by the Issuer.

(b) (i) The reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Tender Agent and all other fiduciaries and agents serving under the Indenture (including any expenses in connection with any redemption of the Bonds), and (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of the Trustee for any extraordinary services rendered by it under the Indenture. All such fees and expenses are to be paid directly to the Trustee or other fiduciary or agent for its own account as and when such fees and expenses become due and payable.

 

- 15 -


(c) The fees and expenses of the Remarketing Agent in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement.

(d) All other reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.

Section 5.3. Prepayments. The Borrower may (and during the term of the Letter of Credit, only with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider) prepay to the Trustee all or any part of the amounts payable under Section 5.1 at the times and subject to the conditions that Bonds are subject to redemption as described in the Bonds and the Indenture. A prepayment shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement until all the Bonds have been paid or provision for the payment of all the Bonds has been made in accordance with the Indenture. In the event of a mandatory redemption of the Bonds, the Borrower agrees to prepay, or cause to be prepaid, all amounts necessary for such redemption.

Section 5.4. Obligations of Borrower Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower to make the payments required by Sections 5.1 and 5.3 and to perform its other agreements contained in this Agreement and the Notes shall be absolute and unconditional. Until the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment of the Bonds made in accordance with the Indenture, the Borrower (a) will not suspend or discontinue any payments provided for in Section 5.1 hereof, (b) will perform all its other agreements in this Agreement and the Notes and (c) will not terminate this Agreement for any cause including any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the laws of the United States or of the State or any political subdivision of either or any failure of the Issuer to perform any of its agreements, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising from or connected with this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 5.5. Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall provide for the delivery of a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Indenture to the Trustee simultaneously with the original issuance and delivery of the Bonds. The Borrower may provide for the delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility in substitution or replacement for the then current Letter of Credit but only in accordance with Section 401 of the Indenture. The Borrower agrees that, after the issuance of the Bonds, it will not at any time pledge, or grant a lien on or security interest in, any property as security for its reimbursement obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement to the Credit Provider or the issuer or provider of the Letter of Credit unless the Borrower has furnished to the Trustee and the Issuer an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such action will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on any Series 2007A Bonds issued from gross income for Federal income tax purposes.

permitted by State law, if, when and to the extent that said Section 148 or regulations promulgated thereunder shall be repealed or relaxed or shall be held void by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, but only if any investment made by virtue of such repeal, relaxation or decision would not, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel, result in making the interest on the Series 2007A Bonds includable in the federal gross income of the owners of the Series 2007A Bonds.

Section 6.5. Borrower Obligation with Respect to Exclusion of Interest Paid on the Series 2007A Bonds.

NO RECOURSE TO ISSUER; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. No Recourse to Issuer. The Bonds constitute special obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the revenues pledged to the payment thereof pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture, and do not now and shall never constitute an indebtedness or a loan of the credit of the Issuer, the State of Iowa or any political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision whatsoever.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in any of the Bond Documents against any past, present or future member, officer, agent or employee of the Issuer, or any incorporator, commissioner, member, officer, employee, director or trustee of any successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law or equity, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and all such liability of any such incorporator, commissioner, member, officer, employee, director, agent or trustee as such is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of and consideration for the execution of the Bond Documents to which the Issuer is a party and the issuance of the Bonds.

Section 7.2. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, protect, indemnify and save the Issuer, the State and the Trustee and their officers, agents, and employees and any person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Issuer), taxes, causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or arising from or related to the issuance or sale of the Bonds, including but not limited to:

(i) any injury to or death of any person or damage to property in or upon the Project or growing out of or connected with the use, non-use, condition or occupancy of the Facilities or any part thereof, including any and all acts or operations relating to the acquisition or installation of property or improvements. The foregoing indemnification obligations shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Borrower, customers, suppliers or affiliated organizations under any Workers’ Compensation Acts, Disability Benefit Acts or other employee benefit acts;

(ii) violation of any agreement, provision or condition of this Agreement, the Bonds or the Indenture, except a violation by the party seeking indemnification;

(v) any statement or information relating to the expenditure of the proceeds of the Bonds contained in the Tax Certificate or similar document furnished by the Borrower to the Issuer or Trustee which, at the time made, is misleading, untrue or incorrect in any material respect;

(vi) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any offering material relating to the sale of the Bonds (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or failure to properly register or otherwise qualify the sale of the Bonds or failure to comply with any licensing or other law or regulation which would affect the manner whereby or to whom the Bonds could be sold; and

(vii) with respect to the Trustee, from and against any and all costs, claims, liabilities, losses or damages whatsoever (including reasonable costs and fees of counsel, auditors or other experts), asserted or arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trusts established pursuant to the Indenture, except costs, claims, liabilities, losses or damages resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, including the reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) of defending itself against any such claim or liability in connection with its exercise or performance of any of its duties hereunder and of enforcing this indemnification provision.

(b) Promptly after receipt by the Issuer or any such other indemnified person, as the case may be, of notice of the commencement of any action with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Borrower under this Section, such person will notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Borrower shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel subject to the approval of the Issuer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the payment of expenses). Insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Borrower, the Issuer or any such other indemnified person shall have the right to employ separate counsel of their own choice in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent.

(c) Notwithstanding the fact that it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer shall not incur any pecuniary liability by reason of the terms of this Agreement or the undertakings required of the Issuer hereunder, by reason of the issuance of the

 

- 21 -


Bonds, by reason of the execution of the Indenture or by reason of the performance of any act requested of the Issuer by the Borrower, including all claims, liabilities or losses arising in connection with the violation of any statutes or regulation pertaining to the foregoing; nevertheless, if the Issuer should incur any such pecuniary liability, then in such event the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Issuer harmless against all claims, demands or causes of action whatsoever, by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation or other legal entity arising out of the same or out of any offering statement or lack of offering statement in connection with the sale or resale of the Bonds and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such claim or in connection with any action or proceeding brought thereon, and upon notice from the Issuer, the Borrower shall defend the Issuer in any such action or proceeding. All references to the Issuer in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to include its commissioners, directors, members, officers, employees, and agents.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 7.2 shall survive any assignment or termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the payment and discharge of the Bonds.

(a) The Issuer or the Trustee with the written consent of the Credit Provider (provided the Credit Provider is not in default of its obligation under the Letter of Credit) may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to it by law as a holder of the Notes, and shall have in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to declare the entire principal and all unpaid interest accrued on the Notes to the date of such declaration and any premium the Borrower shall have become obligated to pay to be immediately due and payable, if concurrently with or prior to such notice the unpaid principal of and all unpaid accrued interest and premium on the Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under the Indenture, and upon such declaration the Notes and the unpaid accrued interest thereon and such premium shall thereupon become forthwith due and payable in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds under Section 802 of the Indenture, without presentment, demand or protest, all of which is hereby expressly waived. The Borrower shall forthwith pay to the Trustee the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on the Notes.

In case the Issuer or the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce its fights under this Agreement or the Notes, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, then and in every such case the Borrower, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Borrower, the Issuer and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken, except as provided for in any court order.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy of the Borrower under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Borrower, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower, or to the property of the Borrower, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a

 

- 25 -


claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes and, in ease of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized to make such payments to the Trustee, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for compensation and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

No delay or omission to exercise any fight or power and accruing upon any Event of Default hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such fight and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article IX, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be herein expressly required. Such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the owners from time to time of the Bonds shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of all covenants and agreements contained herein.

PROMISSORY NOTE (SERIES 2007A)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, intending to be legally bound hereby, Windsor on the River, LLC (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., or its successors and assigns (the “Trustee”), in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or other immediately available funds, the principal amount of                      Million Dollars ($            ) due on May 1, 2042, and to pay interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance hereof at such rates equal to the interest rates from time to time borne by the Series 2007A Bonds (as hereinafter defined), calculated during the Weekly Period (as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to) on the basis of a calendar year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated on the actual number of days elapsed, and calculated during the Semi-Annual Period and the Multi-Annual Period (as each is defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to) on the basis of a calendar year consisting of 360 days of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, payable in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or other immediately available funds (i) during said Weekly Period on the first Business Day (as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to) of each calendar month, (ii) during said Semi-Annual Period the first Business Day following any Semi-Annual Period and (iii) during said Multi-Annual Period the first Business Day of every sixth calendar month in a Multi-Annual Period, commencing with the first Business Day of the seventh calendar month occurring within such Multi-Annual Period, and the first Business Day following such Multi-Annual Period, until said principal amount is paid.

This Promissory Note shall bear interest on any overdue installment of principal hereof, premium, if any, or interest hereon (to the extent legally enforceable) at a rate equal to the interest rate borne by this Promissory Note, from time to time, from the due date thereof until paid.

This Promissory Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007, by and between the Iowa Finance Authority (the “Issuer”) and the Borrower, and is issued in consideration of the loan made thereunder and to evidence the obligations of the Borrower set forth in Section 5.1(a) thereof. The Borrower covenants and agrees that the payments of principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest hereon will be sufficient to enable the Borrower to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the issued and outstanding amount of the Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007A (the “Series 2007A Bonds”), issued pursuant to the Indenture of Trust dated as of May 1, 2007, by and between the Issuer and the Trustee.

Each payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Promissory Note shall at all times be sufficient to pay the total amount of principal of (whether at maturity or upon acceleration or prior redemption), premium, if any, and interest due on the Series 2007A Bonds on the same date. The total payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of (whether at maturity or upon acceleration or prior redemption), premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2007A Bonds; provided, that the Excess Amount (as hereinafter defined) held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund (as defined in the Agreement) on a payment date shall be credited against the payment due on such date; and provided further, that, subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, if at any time the amount held

 

C-1


by the Trustee in said Bond Fund should be sufficient (and remain sufficient) to pay at the times required the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Series 2007A Bonds then remaining unpaid, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any further payments under the provisions of the preceding sentence. If on any day the Excess Amount held by the Trustee in said Bond Fund is insufficient to make the then required payments of principal of (whether at maturity or upon redemption prior to maturity or acceleration), interest and premium, if any, on the Series 2007A Bonds on such date, the Borrower shall forthwith pay such deficiency.

(2) If the Bank or any Participating Bank shall have determined that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or change in any applicable law, treaty, regulation, rule or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, by any administrative or governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank or any Participating Bank (or any controlling affiliate) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply thereunder would be unlawful) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any Participating Bank (or any controlling affiliate) and the Bank or any Participating Bank determines, on the basis of reasonable allocations, that the amount of such capital is increased by or is based on its issuance or maintenance of the Letter of Credit or its obligations or risks under this Agreement or any Participation Agreement, then, within 10 Business Days after demand by the Bank or any Participating Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank or such Participating Bank, from time to time as specified by the Bank or such Participating Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such Participating Bank therefor. A certificate as to such additional amounts submitted to the Borrower by the Bank or the applicable Participating Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(i) No Deductions. The Borrower shall not deduct or withhold Taxes (as defined below) from payments required to be made under this Agreement if and to the extent that, pursuant to applicable provisions of an income tax treaty between the United States and the country under the laws of which the Bank or any Participating Bank is organized, the Code or any other applicable law, the Borrower is permitted to make such payments free of any such deduction or withholding. Upon request of the Borrower, the Bank and any Participating Bank will provide the Borrower with the form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying the exemption of the Bank or such Participating Bank under current law from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement. Except as set forth above in this Section, all payments by the Borrower to the Bank or any Participating Bank under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes or other amounts for or on account of levies, imposts, duties,

deductions, withholdings or other charges of whatsoever nature (including, without limitation, interest, additions to tax and penalties thereon, but excluding any taxes based on income of the Bank or any Participating Bank and excluding franchise and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which the Bank’s or such Participating Bank’s principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof), imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct Taxes from any sum payable to the Bank or any Participating Bank hereunder, (i) the sum payable to the Bank or such Participating Bank shall be increased as may be necessary so that the Bank or such Participating Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such necessary withholdings and deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant authority according to applicable law so that the Bank or such Participating Bank shall not be required to make any deduction or payment of such Taxes.

(j) General Interest Accrual; Place of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.02(b) and (c), all payments to the Bank under this Agreement (including without limitation all payments becoming due under Sections 2.02(g) and 2.02(h)) shall be accompanied by interest thereon, from the date such payments become due until they are paid in full, at a fluctuating rate per annum (computed for the actual number of days elapsed, based on a 360-day year) equal to the Default Rate. All payments by the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement shall be made in lawful currency of the United States at the Bank’s office at 500 First Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, or at such other address and to the attention of such other person as the Bank may stipulate by written notice to the Borrower, or by a wire transfer in immediately available funds from the Borrower to the Bank in accordance with written wire instructions given to the Borrower by the Bank; provided that (i) all reimbursement and transaction charge payments under Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(g) shall be made at the Bank’s office at 500 First Avenue, Second Floor, P7-PFSC-02-T, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, Attention: Letter of Credit Department, or such other address as the Bank may stipulate by written notice to the Borrower, and (ii) all reimbursement payments under Section 2.02(a) shall be made in immediately available funds.

The Borrower understands and agrees that no payment by it under any other agreement (whether voluntary or otherwise) shall constitute a defense to its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Bank has been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

17


Section 2.05 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Bank and the Participating Banks (and their directors, officers, employees and agents) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees for counsel of the Bank’s or any Participating Bank’s choice) whatsoever which the Bank or any Participating Bank may incur (or which may be claimed against the Bank or any Participating Bank by any person or entity whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with (a) the issuance or a transfer of, or payment or failure to pay under, the Letter of Credit, (b) any breach by the Borrower of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Agreement, including all fees or expenses resulting from the settlement or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default and (c) the involvement of the Bank or any Participating Bank in any legal suit, investigation, proceeding, inquiry or action as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the Bank’s issuance of the Letter of Credit, its entering into this Agreement or action taken thereunder or any other event or transaction contemplated by any of the foregoing; provided the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Bank or any Participating Bank for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank in determining whether documents presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Bank’s willful failure to pay under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Beneficiary of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit, unless the Bank in good faith believes that it is prohibited by law or other legal authority from making such payment. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations contained in Section 2.02(a). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.06 Liability of Bank.

(a) As between the Borrower and the Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the Beneficiary with respect to the Beneficiary’s use of the Letter of Credit. Neither the Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (1) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of the Beneficiary in connection therewith; (2) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any documents (including without limitation any documents presented under the Letter of Credit), or of any statement therein or endorsement thereon, even if any such documents, statements or endorsements should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent, forged, inaccurate or untrue; (3) the payment by the Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit, or any other failure by the Beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to effect a drawing under the Letter of Credit; (4) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit or the rights or benefit thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (5) errors, omissions, interruptions, losses or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telephone or otherwise; (6) any loss or

 

18


delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a drawing under the Letter of Credit; or (7) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under the Letter of Credit; except only that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Bank, and the Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused solely by (i) the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether documents presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms of the Letter of credit or (ii) the Bank’s willful failure to pay under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Beneficiary of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit, unless the Bank in good faith believes that it is prohibited by law or other legal authority from making such payment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided that if the Bank shall receive written notification from both the Beneficiary and the Borrower that documents conforming to the terms of the Letter of Credit to be presented to the Bank are not to be honored, the Bank agrees that it will not honor such documents.

(b) Except for the Bank’s obligations under the Letter of Credit, the Bank shall have no liability to the Borrower or any other person as a result of any reduction of the credit rating of the Bank or any deterioration in the Bank’s financial condition, and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Bank from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses relating to the Letter of Credit asserted by or on behalf of Borrower, or any affiliate or agent thereof, which the Bank may incur in connection therewith. No reduction of the credit rating of the Bank or deterioration in the Bank’s financial condition shall reduce or in any way diminish the obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement, including without limitation the Borrower’s obligation to pay Letter of Credit commitment fees to the Bank and to reimburse the Bank, with interest, for any drawing under the Letter of Credit.

Section 2.07 Accounts.

(a) Establishment of Accounts. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall establish and maintain with the Bank the Interest Reserve Account and the Capital Expenditures Reserve Account (each as defined below). The Borrower shall cause such accounts to be maintained at all times until such accounts are permitted to be closed in accordance with this Section 2.07.

(1) On the Date of Issuance, the Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts in respect of interest payments required pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Interest Reserve Account”) in an amount equal to the amount of the Interest Component under the Letter of Credit from time to time (the “Interest Reserve”).

(2) In the event an Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Documents, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, apply all or any portion of the Interest Reserve to the repayment of the Reimbursement Obligations or any other amounts due hereunder, in such order and priority as Bank so chooses in its sole discretion.

 

19


(3) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists and all Reimbursement Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise provided for to the Bank’s satisfaction, on the Stated Expiration Date, the balance of the Interest Reserve Account, if any, shall be paid over to the Borrower.

(4) Establishment of an Interest Reserve shall in no way relieve the Borrower of its obligations to pay the Reimbursement Obligations as set forth herein.

(c) Capital Expenditure Reserve Account

(1) On the Date of Issuance, the Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts for the payment of Capital Expenditures in respect of the Facility (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Account”).

(2) Upon the request of the Borrower at any time that no Default or Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), the Bank shall make disbursements to the Borrower from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account to pay for or to reimburse the Borrower for Capital Expenditures in respect of the Facility; provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank invoices evidencing that the costs for Capital Expenditures which such disbursement is requested are due and payable;

(ii) the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank a certification confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by the Borrower or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement; and

(iii) the Bank may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (A) reasonable evidence establishing that the Borrower has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this subsection (2) for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (B) a reasonably satisfactory site inspection, and (C) receipt of lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others entitled to filing a Lien with respect to work paid for with the proceeds of the immediately preceding requested disbursement.

(3) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists and all Reimbursement Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise provided for to the Bank’s satisfaction, on the Stated Expiration Date, the balance of the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account, if any, shall be paid over to the Borrower.

 

20


(d) The Borrower hereby grants to the Bank a security interest in all rights of the Borrower in and to the Interest Reserve Account and the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account (collectively, the “Accounts”), and all sums on deposit therein. Subject to the rights of the Borrower expressly set forth herein to make withdrawals from the Accounts, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall have sole dominion and control of the Accounts. The Borrower shall not close any Account without obtaining the prior consent of the Bank. The Borrower shall maintain the Accounts and shall pay all fees and charges with respect thereto when due. All interest earned on amounts deposited in any Account shall be re-deposited therein and become part thereof. No funds in any Account may be commingled with any other funds of the Borrower or of any other Person or with any funds contained in any other Account. The Bank shall not be liable for any loss of interest on or any penalty or charge assessed against the funds in, payable on, or credited to any Account as a result of the exercise by the Bank of any of its rights, remedies or obligations under any of the Credit Documents. All sums held in the Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Reimbursement Obligations. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower may apply any funds on deposit in the Accounts to repay the Reimbursement Obligations.

Section 5.19 Priority of Mortgage The Mortgage constitutes a valid first lien against the real and personal property described therein, prior to all other liens or encumbrances, including those which may hereafter accrue, excepting only Permitted Liens which do not and

In lieu thereof, the Bank will accept proof, satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion, that the Improvements are not within the boundaries of a designated “flood zone area” or “special flood hazard area”.

(e) Workers’ compensation insurance, if applicable and required by state law, subject to applicable state statutory limits.

(f) Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, including property damage coverage and time element coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost, without deduction for depreciation, of the Property housing the machinery, if steam boilers, pipes, turbines, engines or any other pressure vessels are in operation with respect to the

 

36


Property. Such insurance coverage shall include a “joint loss” clause if such coverage is provided by an insurance carrier other than that which provides the comprehensive “all risk” insurance described above.

(g) During the period of any construction and/or renovation of capital improvements with respect to the Property or any new construction at the Property, builder’s risk insurance for any improvements under construction and/or renovation, including, without limitation, costs of demolition and increased cost of construction or renovation, in an amount equal the amount of the general contract plus the value of any existing purchase money financing for improvements and materials stored on or off the Property, including “soft cost” coverage.

(h) Such other insurance coverages as may be deemed necessary at any time during the term of this Agreement and as shall be provided within such time periods as the Bank may determine, in each case, in its commercially reasonable discretion, provided that such coverages are available at commercially reasonable rates and are customarily required by institutional lenders for similar projects.

All insurance policies shall have a term of not less than one year, shall be in the amounts set forth herein, and shall be in the form and amounts as, from time to time, shall be acceptable to the Bank in its sole and reasonable discretion, and may be subject to commercially reasonable deductibles. All such policies (with the exception of workers’ compensation insurance) shall provide for loss payable solely to the Bank and shall contain a standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, among other things, to recovery by the Bank notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Borrower and notwithstanding (i) occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the terms of such policy, (ii) any foreclosure or other action taken by the Bank pursuant to the Mortgage upon the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, or (iii) any change in title or ownership of the Property.

All insurance policies must be written by an admitted carrier authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and such insurance carrier must have a long-term senior debt rating of at least “A-” by Standard and Poor’s Rating Service.

All liability insurance policies (including, but not limited to, general liability, professional liability and any applicable blanket and/or umbrella policies) must name “PNC Bank, National Association and its successors and/or assigns” as additional insureds, and all property insurance policies must name “PNC Bank, National Association and its successors and/or assigns” as the named mortgage holder entitled to all insurance proceeds.

All insurance policies for the above-required insurance must provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation to the Bank.

Policies or binders, together with evidence of the above required insurance on ACORD Form 25 for liability insurance and on ACORD Form 27 or ACORD Form 28 or their equivalents for property insurance, must be submitted to the Bank prior to the Date of Issuance.

With respect to insurance policies which require payment of premiums annually, prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower

 

37


shall pay such amount. Prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to the Bank of such payment, which premiums shall not be paid by the Borrower through or by any financing arrangement, shall be delivered by Borrower to the Bank at the address set forth in Section 8.01 hereof. The Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Section 6.23. If the limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or eliminated due to a covered loss, the Borrower shall pay the additional premium, if any, in order to have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or the Borrower shall purchase new insurance in the same type and amount that existed immediately prior to the loss.

If the Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to the Bank the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, the Bank may, at its option, following notice to the Borrower, procure such insurance and the Borrower shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse the Bank for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by the Bank, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by the Bank to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Reimbursement Obligations.

The insurance required by this Agreement may, at the option of the Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to the Borrower or to an Affiliate of the Borrower covering the Property and the properties of such Affiliate; provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement and allocate to the Property, from time to time, the coverage specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein. If the insurance required by this Agreement shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank original policies or certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to the Property.

Neither the Bank nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Agreement; it being understood that (a) the Borrower shall look solely to its insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (b) such insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against the Bank, its agents or employees, and (c) the Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against the Bank. If, however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation rights against the Bank (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or otherwise), then the Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent not prohibited by such insurance policies, to waive its rights of recovery, if any, against the Bank, its agents and employees, whether resulting from any damage to the Property, any liability claim in connection with the Property or otherwise. If any such insurance policy shall prohibit the Borrower from waiving such claims, then the Borrower must obtain from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against the Bank.

The Borrower appoints the Bank as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest, to cause the issuance of an endorsement of any insurance policy to bring the Borrower into compliance herewith and, as

 

38


limited below, at the Bank’s sole option, to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy; provided, however, that in no event will the Bank be liable for failure to collect any amounts payable under any insurance policy.

Section 6.24 Radon Remediation. The Borrower has provided the Bank with the January 18, 2012 report regarding Radon Resampling at: Windsor on the River prepared by EMG, Inc.

DESCRIPTION

Replace Site Light Lens

One of the Facility’s site light lens was found to be damaged. The damaged lens should be replaced at this time.

Replace CMU Retaining Wall

The concrete masonry unit retaining wall located at the east end of Buckingham Drive has started to fail. The wall has started to rotate. Continued wall movement is highly probable. Remove existing wall system and install a new designed concrete masonry unit retaining wall system.

Grind Down Sidewalk Tripping Hazard Edges

Several of the Facility’s concrete sidewalk sections have settled or heaved over the years - causing tripping hazards. While the sidewalk fields have not spalled or cracked, we recommend grinding down the trip edges only.

Replace Concrete Sidewalk Sections

Sidewalk sections are severely cracked and deteriorated. Such condition were noted at the front entrance sidewalks. Remove deteriorated sections, prepare bed, and install new 4" thick sidewalks. Sidewalk sections that exhibit cracks but that do not warrant replacement should have all cracks pointed with a non-shrinking grout.

Repair Eaves Soffit Metal Panel System

The eaves soffit panel system on the Fitness Center building consists of pre-finished vented aluminum panels. Some of the panels are dislodged or missing. At this time repairs are required to preserve its watertightness and to improve its general aesthetics.

Replace Damaged Area of Carpeting

The carpeting in Building 1913, Unit #7 was found to be torn. The affected area should be replaced as needed to improve overall curb appeal.

Replace Damaged Vinyl Wall Covering

Remove existing and install (fabric, vinyl) wall covering having a Class “A” smoke and flame spread rating located at the corridors of Building 2407 near apartments 127, 308, and 309.

Painting Gypsum Board Ceilings

Stained sheetrock ceiling conditions were observed at the foyer of Building 2407 and in the living room of Building 2407 unit # 127. All affected areas should be primed and finished with two (2) coats of flat latex paint to match the existing.

Mortgagor hereby relieves the lessees from any liability to Mortgagor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such notice or demand by Mortgagee.

 

  3.3 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. The foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause Mortgagee to be: (a) a mortgagee in possession; (b) responsible or liable for the control, care, management or repair of the Subject Property or for performing any of the terms, agreements, undertakings, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the Leases; or (c) responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Subject Property by the lessees under any of the Leases or any other parties; for any dangerous or defective condition of the Subject Property; or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Subject Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee, invitee or other person. Mortgagee shall not directly or indirectly be liable to Mortgagor or any other person as a consequence of: (i) the exercise or failure to exercise by Mortgagee, or any of their respective employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors, any of the rights, remedies or powers granted to Mortgagee hereunder; or (ii) the failure or refusal of Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor arising under the Leases.

  5.3

TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUNDS. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, at Mortgagee’s option and upon its demand, Mortgagor, shall, until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full, pay to Mortgagee monthly, annually or as otherwise directed by Mortgagee an amount estimated by Mortgagee to be equal to: (a) all taxes, assessments, levies and charges imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or utility company which are or may become a lien upon the Subject Property or Collateral and will become due for the tax year during which such payment is so directed; and (b) premiums for fire, hazard and insurance required or requested pursuant to the Credit Documents when same are next due, if Mortgagee determines that any amounts paid by Mortgagor are insufficient for the payment in full of such taxes, assessments, levies, charges and/or insurance premiums, Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor of the increased amounts required to pay all amounts when due, whereupon Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days thereafter the additional amount as stated in Mortgagee’s notice.

  (ii) The Improvements to which loss or damage has resulted shall be capable of being restored to the condition existing prior to the damage or destruction, and such restoration shall be capable of being completed prior to the Stated Expiration Date (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement), or if such restoration is not capable of being completed prior to the Stated Expiration Date, the Mortgagee reasonably determines that the value of the Property as of the Stated Expiration Date plus any remaining net proceeds will exceed the amount secured by this Mortgage as of the Stated Expiration Date;

 

  (iii) prior to any such proceeds being disbursed to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall have provided to Mortgagee all of the following:

  (vii) Each disbursement by Mortgagee of such proceeds and deposits shall be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with Mortgagee’s reasonable disbursement procedures and shall be made only upon receipt of disbursement requests on an AIA G702/703 form (or similar form approved by Mortgagee) signed and certified by Mortgagor and, if required by Mortgagee, its architect and general contractor with appropriate invoices and lien waivers as required by Mortgagee; and

 

  (viii) Mortgagee shall have a first lien on and security interest in all building materials and completed repair and restoration work and in all fixtures and equipment acquired with such proceeds, and Mortgagor shall execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements and other instruments as Mortgagee shall request to create, evidence, or perfect such lien and security interest.

In the event and to the extent that such Proceeds are One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more and are not required to be used for the repair, restoration and replacement of the Improvements to which a loss or damage has occurred, or, if the conditions set forth herein for such application are otherwise not satisfied, then Mortgagee shall be entitled without notice to or consent from Mortgagor to retain and apply such proceeds, or the balance thereof, at Mortgagee’s option either (a) to the reduction of or as a reserve against the Secured Obligations or (b) to the repair, restoration and/or replacement of all or any part of such Improvements to which a loss or damage has occurred.

Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor, or any other notices that Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee’s interest, (b) upon the issuance of a deed

 

17


  pursuant to the foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment or further assurance with respect to the Subject Property and Collateral, Leases and Payments in favor of the grantee of any such deed, as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagee’s security interests and rights in or to any of the Subject Property and Collateral, and (d) upon the occurrence of an event, act or omission which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, Mortgagee may perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; provided, however, that: (i) Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Mortgagee; and (ii) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to act (whether such failure constitutes negligence) by Mortgagee under this Section.

 

  6.8 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee provided hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to all rights and remedies provided by applicable law (including specifically that of foreclosure of this instrument as though it were a mortgage) or in any other agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee. No failure on the part of Mortgagee to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or subsequent Default. No delay on the part of Mortgagee in exercising any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time while that Default is continuing. Mortgagee may enforce any one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or concurrently. By accepting payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations after its due date, Mortgagee shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time is of the essence, nor shall Mortgagee waive either its right to require prompt payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Secured Obligations or its right to consider the failure to so pay or perform a Default.

 

  6.9 REDEMPTION. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage and sale of the Subject Property by sheriff’s sale in said foreclosure proceeding:

 

  (a) If the Subject Property, subject of this Mortgage, covers less than ten (10) acres and Mortgagee waives in the foreclosure action any rights to a deficiency judgment against Mortgagor, the redemption period shall be reduced to six (6) months, consistent with the provisions of §628.26, Code of Iowa, or any revision or successor thereof;

 

  (b)

If the Subject Property, subject of this Mortgage, covers less than ten (10) acres, the Court in the foreclosure action affirmatively finds that such property has been abandoned by the owners and those persons personally liable thereunder at the time of such foreclosure, and Mortgagee waives in the foreclosure action any rights to a deficiency judgment against

 

18


  Mortgagor, the redemption period shall be reduced to sixty (60) days, consistent with the provisions of §628.27, Code of Iowa, or any revision or successor thereof; and

 

  (c) If the Subject Property, subject of this Mortgage, is not used for agricultural purposes, as defined in Iowa Code §535.13, and is either not the residence of the Mortgagor or owner, or is such a residence but is not a single family or a two family dwelling, and the Mortgagee waives its right to a deficiency judgment in the foreclosure action, the redemption period shall be reduced to ninety (90) days, consistent with the provisions of §628.28, Code of Iowa, or any revision or successor thereof.

 

  6.10 FORCE PLACED INSURANCE. Unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee of the insurance coverage required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may purchase insurance at Mortgagor’s expense to protect Mortgagee’s interest in the Subject Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Mortgagor’s interest in the Subject Property. The coverages that Mortgagee purchases may not pay any claim that Mortgagor makes or any claim that is made against Mortgagor in connection with the Subject Property. Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee that Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by this Mortgage. If Mortgagee purchases insurance for the Subject Property, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest at the highest rate applicable during the continuance of a default and any other charges imposed by Mortgagee in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. The costs of the insurance may, at Mortgagee’s discretion, be added to Mortgagor’s total principal obligation owing to Mortgagee, and in any event shall be secured by the liens on the Subject Property created by this Mortgage. It is understood and agreed that the costs of insurance obtained by Mortgagee may be more than the costs of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain on its own.

 

  6.11 NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE. The Mortgagee may at its option elect to foreclose this Mortgage by nonjudicial procedures allowed by Iowa law.

EXHIBIT 10.7

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of January 26, 2012, is among SIR WINDSOR ON THE RIVER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pledgor”), The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and as custodian hereunder (the “Trustee”), and PNC Bank, National Association, as issuer of the hereinafter defined Letter of Credit (“Lender”).

RECITALS

The parties acknowledge the following:

A. The Iowa Finance Authority (the “Issuer”) has issued $24,000,000 of its Taxable Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007B (as the same have been converted into an equal aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007A pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the “Bonds”) under an Indenture of Trust dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and the Trustee.

B. In connection with the Bonds, Pledgor shall cause Lender to issue its irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit in favor of the Trustee (the “Letter of Credit”) pursuant to a Reimbursement and Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2012 (such Agreement, as amended, revised, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Reimbursement Agreement”) among Pledgor and Lender. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Reimbursement Agreement.

C. The Indenture requires the Trustee to purchase Bonds from the owners thereof or, if the Bonds are in book entry form, the beneficial ownership interests therein on such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Indenture and to register such purchased Bonds or beneficial ownership interests to the extent the purchase price for such purchase is obtained by a drawing under the Letter of Credit (any of such Bonds or beneficial ownership interests so purchased from a draw under the Letter of Credit being hereafter referred to as the “Pledged Bonds”) as directed by Lender.

D. To secure repayment of Pledgor’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, Pledgor shall grant to Lender a security interest in the Pledged Bonds and other collateral, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.

E. It is a condition precedent to the obligation of Lender to issue the Letter of Credit and to enter into the Reimbursement Agreement that Pledgor and Trustee shall have executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement to Lender.


AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the Recitals and in order to induce Lender to enter into the Reimbursement Agreement and issue the Letter of Credit thereunder, Pledgor and Trustee hereby agree with Lender as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Reimbursement Agreement shall have such defined meanings when used herein.

2. Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and delivers to Lender or its designee all its right, title and interest in, and grants to Lender a first-priority lien upon, (a) the Pledged Bonds as the same may from time to time either (i) be delivered to or held by the Trustee in the name of Lender or its nominee pursuant to Article V of the Indenture or (ii) if the Depository Trust Company or its nominee (“DTC”) is the registered owner of all Bonds, be registered in the name of DTC with Lender’s interest in such Bonds recorded by DTC on its books or by the Trustee on its books, as appropriate and all interest thereon, (b) all proceeds of the Pledged Bonds and (c) subject to the rights of the Trustee under the Bond Documents (as defined in the Indenture), all monies in all accounts created under the Indenture or the other Bond Documents, including, without limitation, the Bond Fund and the Project Fund (each, as defined in the Indenture) and all rights of Pledgor under the Bond Documents with respect to such monies (all property at any time pledged to Lender hereunder and all income therefrom and proceeds thereof are referred to herein collectively as the “Collateral”), all as collateral security for (x) the prompt and complete payment of all amounts payable to Lender under the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (y) the performance and observance of all covenants, terms, and conditions upon which the Letter of Credit is issued, including without limitation the covenants, terms, and conditions set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement, and (z) the performance of the covenants herein contained and any monies expended by Lender in connection therewith (collectively, the “Obligations”). Pledgor hereby agrees that the Trustee shall act as the agent and bailee of Lender for the purpose of perfecting the lien of this Pledge Agreement and of holding the Collateral for the benefit of Lender pursuant to the Indenture.

3. Payments on the Pledged Bonds. If, while this Pledge Agreement is in effect, Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any payment in respect of the Pledged Bonds either (a) pursuant to a remarketing of the Pledged Bonds under the Indenture, (b) pursuant to any redemption or maturing of the Pledged Bonds, or (c) as interest on the Pledged Bonds (collectively the “Proceeds”), Pledgor agrees to accept the same as Lender’s agent, to hold the same in trust on behalf of Lender and to deliver the same forthwith to Lender. Pledgor instructs and authorizes Trustee to hold and receive on Lender’s behalf and to deliver forthwith to Lender any payment received by it in respect of the Collateral (including the proceeds of any remarketing of the Pledged Bonds). All such payments in respect of the Pledged Bonds which are paid to Lender shall be credited against the Obligations of Pledgor to Lender as Lender may determine.

4. Release of Pledged Bonds. Lender agrees to release the Pledged Bonds from the lien of this Agreement and deliver the Pledged Bonds to the Remarketing Agent in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Reimbursement Agreement.

5. Rights of Lender. Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect the Obligations or for failure to realize upon any collateral security or guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing nor shall Lender be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. If an Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement has occurred and is continuing, Lender may thereafter without notice exercise all rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

6. Remedies. In the event that any portion of the Obligations has been declared due and payable, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to Lender upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released. Lender shall pay over the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any and all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “UCC”), need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. Lender agrees to give Pledgor, Trustee and Issuer not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place. Pledgor agrees that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to Pledgor if it has signed after an Event of Default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Pledgor further agrees to waive and agree not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-623 of the UCC (as such section may be renumbered from time to time) and Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled, and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.

7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor represents and warrants that: (a) on the date of delivery to Lender or its designee of any Pledged Bonds in accordance with Section 2 hereof, no other Person will have any right, title or interest in and to the Pledged Bonds; (b) it has, and on the date of delivery to Lender or its designee of any Pledged Bonds, it will have, full power, authority and legal right to pledge all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement; (c) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms; (d) no consent of any other party (including, without limitation, any creditors of Pledgor) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, is required to be obtained by Pledgor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement; (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or of the organizational documents of Pledgor or of any securities issued by Pledgor or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Pledgor is a party or which purports to be binding upon Pledgor or upon any of its assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of the assets of Pledgor except as contemplated by this Agreement; and (f) the pledge, assignment and delivery of such Pledged Bonds and the Proceeds thereof are subject to no prior pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a security interest in the property or assets of Pledgor which would include the Pledged Bonds. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend Lender’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to pledge to Lender the Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend Lender’s right thereto and security interest therein.

8. No Disposition, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture with respect to the Pledged Bonds, in each case sold by the Remarketing Agent, Pledgor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement.

9. Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact (such agency being coupled with an interest), and as such attorney-in-fact Lender may, without the obligation to do so, in Lender’s name, or in the name of Pledgor, prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve any of Lender’s security interests and rights in or to any of the Collateral, and, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) occurs and is continuing, take any other action required of Pledgor; provided, however, that Lender as such attorney-in-fact shall be accountable only for such funds as are actually received by Lender.

 

4


10. Sale of Collateral. (a) Pledgor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Bonds and accordingly may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, so long as Lender has conducted such private sale in good faith, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Bonds for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or under applicable state securities laws.

(b) Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of the Pledged Bonds valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at Pledgor’s expense. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this paragraph shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Reimbursement Agreement.

11. Collateral Agency Agreement.

(a) Lender hereby appoints Trustee as agent and bailee for Lender on the terms and conditions of this Section 11, and Trustee hereby accepts such appointment and agrees with Lender to act as agent without compensation separate from that provided to Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, except as otherwise provided in Section 15 hereof.

(b) The duties of Trustee as agent under this Agreement shall be as follows:

(i) Trustee shall hold in trust for Lender all Pledged Bonds purchased by Trustee with payments made under the Letter of Credit pursuant to the Indenture, all proceeds thereof and all other amounts held by Trustee and payable to Lender pursuant to the Indenture; and

(ii) upon remarketing of the Pledged Bonds, Trustee shall deliver to Lender the proceeds of such remarketing and all other amounts received by Trustee and payable to Lender pursuant to the Indenture.

(c) Trustee shall not pledge, hypothecate, transfer or release all or any part of the Collateral to any other Person or in any manner not in accordance with this Section 11 without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

5


(d) Neither Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Section 11 (except for its or such Person’s own negligence or willful misconduct). Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party. Trustee may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Trustee shall not be relieved of liability arising in connection with its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time within a reasonable time after its receipt of written request from Lender, Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Lender may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

13. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

15. Waivers; Amendments; Applicable Law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by all parties hereto. This Agreement and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

16. Fees and Expenses. The Pledgor agrees to pay and reimburse the Trustee and Lender for and, except to the extent of any liability to a third party arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Trustee or Lender, as applicable, indemnify and hold them

harmless against all costs, expenses, taxes and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and any liability incurred in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement. Such undertaking of the Pledgor shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

17. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Letter of Credit and payment in full and the performance and satisfaction of all Obligations, and upon such termination, Lender and Trustee shall assign, transfer and deliver without recourse and without warranty the Collateral to Pledgor (and any property received in respect thereof) as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies, and all such copies shall constitute one and the same Instrument.

EXHIBIT 10.8

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement” or “Guaranty”) is made as of January 26, 2012, by STEADFAST INCOME REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Guarantor”) in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Bank”), to secure obligations of SIR WINDSOR ON THE RIVER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) to Bank.

Background

A. Iowa Finance Authority (“Issuer”) has issued its Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project) Series 2007A in the original aggregate principal amount of $24,000,000 (the “Bonds”) under an Indenture of Trust dated as of May 1, 2007 between Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”) (with permitted amendments and supplements, the “Indenture”) the proceeds of which were loaned to Borrower’s predecessor-in-interest, Windsor on the River, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Borrower”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007 between Issuer and Original Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”) to finance the Project (as defined in the Loan Agreement) undertaken by Original Borrower. Borrower has assumed all of Original Borrower’s interests under the Loan Agreement pursuant to that certain Assumption Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower, Original Borrower and Trustee. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bonds on the date hereof is $23,500,000.

B. In order to enhance the marketability of the Bonds and thereby achieve interest cost savings and other savings to Borrower, Borrower has asked Bank to issue, pursuant to a Reimbursement and Credit Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Bank (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), its Irrevocable Letter of Credit (together with any substitute letter of credit issued pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Letter of Credit”) to Trustee for the account of Borrower authorizing Trustee to make one or more draws on Bank up to an aggregate of $23,789,727.

C. As a condition to entering into the Reimbursement Agreement and issuing the Letter of Credit, Bank has required the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Reimbursement Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Bank’s agreement to issue the Letter of Credit, and intending to be legally bound, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Payment and Performance of the Obligations. In order to secure payment and performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Bank, and become surety to Bank for, the due and punctual payment and performance of the principal and any interest accruing thereon

 

1


owed by Borrower to Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement (hereinafter referred to individually as “Obligation” and collectively as “Obligations”); plus all interest accrued thereon pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, plus all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable counsel fees, which may be incurred by Bank in collection or enforcement of the Obligations under this Guaranty. If any Obligation is not paid or performed by Borrower punctually when due, subject to any applicable notice and grace period, Guarantor will, upon Bank’s written demand, immediately pay or perform such Obligation or cause the same to be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. Guarantor will pay to Bank, upon written demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable counsel fees, which are incurred by Bank in the collection or enforcement of Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement. No reference hereinafter or in any other document to Obligations or to Borrower’s performance or to this Guaranty or to Guarantor shall change the nature or limits of this Guaranty as defined in this Section 1.

2. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank as of the date of this Agreement that:

(a) Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, is duly qualified and in good standing to conduct business in those jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and has the requisite power and authority to make and perform this Guaranty;

(b) This Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and such execution and delivery and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder will not violate any applicable provision of law or any rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award applicable to Guarantor nor conflict with or constitute a breach of or a default under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Guarantor or any instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or Guarantor’s property is bound, and this Guaranty is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms;

(c) There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against Guarantor, or against any of its properties or revenues, as to which there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination and which if adversely determined, would have or constitute a Material Adverse Effect, and Guarantor is not in violation in any material respect of any statute, rule, order or regulation of any governmental body applicable to Guarantor which individually or collectively could have or constitute a Material Adverse Effect, except for notices of violations received in the ordinary course of business which Guarantor is diligently proceeding in good faith and in full compliance with all Requirements of Law to remove or correct;

(d) The consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Guarantor as of December 31, 2010 are complete and correct, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly set forth the financial condition of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of Guarantor’s operations for the period covered thereby; and there has occurred no material adverse change in the financial condition of Guarantor as shown thereon since the date thereof, except such changes as have been heretofore disclosed to Bank in writing; and

 

2


(e) Guarantor has filed all income tax returns and all other material tax returns required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments received by it.

3. Affirmative Covenants. Guarantor covenants and agrees that so long as any Obligations are outstanding and unpaid, or not fully performed, and, except to the extent Bank shall otherwise consent in writing, Guarantor will:

(a) Comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to its business, operations or facilities the noncompliance with which would have or constitute a Material Adverse Effect, except for any such laws, rules, regulations and orders which it is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

(b) Notify Bank in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or any default or event of default under any other agreement or instrument of debt of Guarantor or any litigation or proceeding which, if adversely determined, could have or constitute a Material Adverse Effect or any other event which has had or constitutes a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) Furnish or cause to be furnished to Bank the financial statements and other information required by the Reimbursement Agreement;

(d) Permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of Bank to visit and inspect during normal business hours any of its properties and to examine and make excerpts from its books and records, except to the extent Guarantor is precluded by any Requirement of Law from disclosing any such information, and to discuss its business affairs, finances and accounts with any of its officers, all in such detail and at such times and as often as Bank may reasonably request, provided that Bank shall provide it with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection;

(e) Furnish Bank with prompt and detailed notice of any event which has or may have or constitutes a Material Adverse Effect; and

(f) (i) Maintain a Consolidated Net Worth of at least $100,000,000, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013.

(ii) Maintain Liquidity of not less than $5,000,000, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013.

(iii) Not pay any distributions or dividends during any fiscal quarter in excess of Adjusted Funds From Operations, starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013.

 

3


Any failure to meet any of the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, provided that and as long as the Guarantor shall immediately establish and thereafter maintain with Bank a restricted deposit account for the purpose of accumulating and reserving amounts for the payment of principal and interest in respect of the Bonds (the “Sinking Fund Account”). Beginning on the date the Guarantor fails to meet any of the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) above (the “Sinking Fund Creation Date”) and continuing until the Stated Expiration Date, Guarantor shall deposit, on or before the 15th day of each month, an amount in the Sinking Fund Account equal to $500,000 divided by the number of months remaining, as of the Sinking Fund Creation Date (including the current month), until the Stated Expiration Date.

Guarantor hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all rights of the Guarantor in and to the Sinking Fund Account established pursuant to the previous paragraph, and all sums deposited therein. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall have sole dominion and control of the Sinking Fund Account. Guarantor shall not close the Sinking Fund Account without obtaining the prior consent of Bank. Guarantor shall maintain the Sinking Fund Account and shall pay all fees and charges with respect thereto when due. All interest earned on amounts deposited in the Sinking Fund Account shall be re-deposited therein and become part thereof. No funds in the Sinking Fund Account may be commingled with any other funds of Guarantor or of any other Person. Except to the extent resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank, Bank shall not be liable for any loss of interest on or any penalty or charge assessed against the funds in, payable on, or credited to the Sinking Fund Account as a result of the exercise by the Bank of any of its rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement. All sums held in the Sinking Fund Account shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may apply any funds on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account to repay the Obligations.

As used herein:

(A) “Adjusted Funds from Operations” means, as of the end of any fiscal quarter of Guarantor, Funds from Operations during such quarter less Capital Reserves;

(B) “Capital Reserves” means the quotient obtained by multiplying Three Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($350.00) by the sum of the number of units owned by Guarantor plus any entity directly or indirectly owned by Guarantor (“Guarantor Subsidiary Owned Units”) and dividing the resulting product by four (4) (i.e. ($350 x (units owned by Guarantor plus Guarantor Subsidiary Owned Units))/4);

(C) “Consolidated Net Worth” means, on any date, all amounts that would be included under stockholders’ equity on a consolidated balance sheet of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP;

(D) “Funds From Operations” has the meaning promulgated by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts on the Date of Issuance;

 

4


(E) “Liquidity” means, at any time, the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash at such time; and

(F) “Unrestricted Cash” means unrestricted cash and cash equivalents owned by the Guarantor and not controlled by or subject to any Lien in favor of any creditor.

(g) Concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.08(a) and (c) of the Reimbursement Agreement, a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Guarantor in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Compliance Certificate”) showing in detail the calculations demonstrating compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 3(g) above, and stating that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the Guarantor during such period has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant and condition contained in this Agreement in all material respects.

4. Negative Covenants. Guarantor covenants and agrees that so long as any Obligations are outstanding and unpaid, or any Obligation is not fully performed, Guarantor will not:

(a) Wind-up, liquidate or dissolve its affairs, or convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its properties or assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired);

(b) Sell or transfer or permit or suffer to be sold or transferred, voluntarily or by operation of law a material amount of its property, other than in the ordinary course of business for equivalent value contemporaneously given; or

(c) Make or permit any material change in the nature of its business as carried on as of the date hereof.

5. Events of Default; Remedies. (a) The occurrence of any of the following and its continuance after any applicable notice and cure period herein provided shall be an “Event of Default”: (i) Guarantor’s failure to pay or perform any of its obligations hereunder when due which in the case of any payment obligation continues for ten (10) days after written notice from Bank, or in the case of any other obligation which continues for thirty (30) days after the earlier of the effective date of written notice from Bank, or the date on which Guarantor otherwise acquires knowledge that such failure has occurred, provided, however, that if Guarantor shall proceed to take any curative action that, if begun and prosecuted with due diligence, cannot be completed within such 30 day period, then such period shall be increased to such extent as shall be reasonably necessary to enable Guarantor to complete such curative action through the exercise of due diligence; (ii) the material falsity, material inaccuracy or material breach by Guarantor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Bank by or on behalf of Guarantor; or (iii) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty except as provided for in Section 7.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Guaranty, (i) Guarantor shall pay to Bank the amount of the Obligations then and at any time thereafter due under the Reimbursement Agreement; and (ii) Bank in its discretion may exercise, or cause to be exercised, from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it under this Guaranty or at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Guarantor hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of any action by Bank in reliance thereon, (ii) presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Obligations, and giving any notice of default or other notice to, or making any demand on anyone (including without limitation Borrower and Guarantor) liable in any manner for the payment of the Obligations, (iii) any right to require Bank to proceed initially against Borrower or any other collateral for the Obligations upon any default in the payment or performance of the Obligations, and (iv) notice of any election by Bank to sell any of the property mortgaged, assigned or pledged as security for any of the Obligations at a public or private sale, provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to be a waiver of any notice expressly required to be given to Borrower pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement.

(c) Bank may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Guarantor and without increasing, impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (i) exercise or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against Borrower or others, including without limitation Guarantor, or against any of the collateral and (ii) modify, amend, extend, supplement or waive or consent to the breach of any provision of the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the collateral, to which modifications, amendments, extensions, supplements, waivers and consents Guarantor hereby assents. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of Borrower’s liability under the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the collateral arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law hereafter initiated by or against Borrower will not affect, modify, or discharge the liability of Guarantor in any manner and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable against Guarantor to the same extent and with the same effect as if such proceedings had not been instituted.

(d) The guaranty and surety contained in paragraph 1 hereof is absolute and unconditional, primary, direct and immediate and shall be valid and binding upon Guarantor regardless of (i) any invalidity, irregularity, defect or unenforceability of or in the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the collateral for the Obligations or any other obligation or agreement of Borrower or Guarantor, (ii) any action or inaction by Bank or other occurrence referred to in subsection 6(c) above, or (iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge or release of, Borrower or Guarantor, by operation of law.

(e) No failure or delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof

 

6


or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of Bank hereunder are cumulative and concurrent and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies Bank may have.

(f) Guarantor hereby waives and releases all relief from any and all appraisement, stay or execution law of any state now in force or hereafter enacted.

(g) No set-off, permissive counterclaim, reduction or diminution of an obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature that Guarantor has or may have against Borrower or Bank except payment, satisfaction or defeasance of Borrower’s obligations that Guarantor is guaranteeing and acting as surety for under this Guaranty shall affect, modify or impair Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Any claim, if any, that Guarantor now or hereafter has against Borrower by way of subrogation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be fully subordinate in lien and payment to any claim that Bank now or hereafter has against Borrower.

(h) Guarantor hereby subordinates any claim, remedy or other right they may now or hereafter acquire against Borrower that arises from the existence or performance of the Obligations, including without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification against Borrower or any right to participate in any collateral for the Obligations, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, under contract, statute, or common law, to any right, claim or cause of action the Bank may now or hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Obligations until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Guaranty, Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off any or all of the property of Guarantor in Bank’s possession (including all deposits and other indebtedness owing by Bank to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor) at or subsequent to the occurrence of the Event of Default against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured.

(j) For the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably agree to service of process by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its address set forth in Section 8(b) of this Agreement. Guarantor irrevocably waive any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agree that service of process in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be deemed in every respect effective and valid personal service of process upon Guarantor. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of Bank to institute and conduct an action in any other appropriate manner, jurisdiction or court.

(k) Bank and Guarantor hereby waive all right to a trial by jury in any litigation relating to this Agreement.

 

7


7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Borrower’s or Guarantor’s payment in full of all of the Obligations and termination of Bank’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and the Letter of Credit, provided that this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, (as the case may be) if at any time payment of any of the Obligations is refunded or must otherwise be returned by Bank or if Bank’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement or Letter of Credit are reinstated as a result of any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under state or federal law, all as though such payment had not been made.

8. Miscellaneous.

Lender is willing to issue the Letter of Credit only on the condition, among others, that Indemnitors defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all claims, loss, damage, cost, expense or liability arising out of the presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on the Property, subject to the provisions of this Indemnity.

 

D. Since the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property may reduce the value of the Property to an extent that is unforeseeable and indeterminable and may, in fact, cause the value of the Property to be substantially less than the claims against Lender or the liabilities associated with ownership of such Property, Lender also is willing to issue the Letter of Credit only on the condition that this Indemnity be and remain an unsecured personal obligation of Indemnitors.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Lender contemporaneously herewith issuing the Letter of Credit as requested by Borrower, and for other good, valuable and adequate consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Indemnitors agree as follows:

 

1.

INDEMNITY. EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER, ANY AFFILIATE (AS DEFINED IN THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT) OF LENDER, AND EACH OF THEIR

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN, ON, UNDER OR ABOUT THE PROPERTY AS THE SOLE RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY LENDER, ANY AFFILIATE OF LENDER, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS.

9.

INDEMNITOR’S WAIVERS. Each Indemnitor waives: (a) any defense based upon any legal disability to enter into the Reimbursement Agreement or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower from any cause; (b) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners, joint venturers, members or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower, or any defect in the formation of Borrower or any principal of Borrower; (c) any defense based upon the application of the proceeds of the Bonds by Borrower for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower to Lender or intended or understood by Lender or Indemnitors; (d) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Indemnitor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal; (e) any defense based upon Lender’s failure to disclose to such Indemnitor any information concerning Borrower’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (f) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (g) any defense based upon Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) (2) of

 

5


  the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security Interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the obligations of the Borrower under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other Credit Documents now or hereafter held by Lender (j) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, (k) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of any of Borrower’s assets or the assets of any other party now or hereafter held as security for Borrower’s obligations; and (l) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Indemnitor hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Each Indemnitor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any part thereof or other act which toils any statute of limitations applicable to the Reimbursement Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Indemnitor’s liability hereunder. In addition, each Indemnitor understands that such Indemnitor’s duties, obligations and liabilities under this Indemnity are not limited in any way by any information (whether obtained from Borrower, from an Indemnitor, or from Lender’s own investigations) which Lender may have concerning the Property and the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property.

 

10. PARTICIPATIONS; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Each Indemnitor agrees that Lender may elect, at any time, to sell, assign or grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents and this Indemnity, and that any such sale, assignment or participation may be to one or more financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities, at Lender’s sole discretion. Each Indemnitor further agrees that Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participants) all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to Lender with respect to: (a) the Property and its operation; (b) any party connected with the Reimbursement Agreement (including, without limitation, such Indemnitor, Borrower, any partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower, any constituent partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower, any guarantor and any non-borrower mortgagor); and/or (c) any lending relationship other than the Letter of Credit which Lender may have with any party connected with the Letter of Credit in the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Credit Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves, in connection with any such sale, assignment or participation, such Indemnitor further agrees that this Indemnity shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of such Indemnitor to each purchaser, assignee, or participant, and upon written request by Lender, such Indemnitor shall consent to such amendments or modifications to the Credit Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation.

Anything in this Indemnity to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Indemnity including this section, Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations thereunder.

11. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Indemnity, or as a consequence of any default under the Indemnity, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, Indemnitors shall immediately pay to Lender, upon receipt of written demand therefor, the amount of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including all trial and appellate proceedings in any legal action, suit, bankruptcy or other proceeding, together with interest thereon accruing from the date that is ten (10) days after Indemnitor’s receipt of such demand until paid at the Default Rate.

 

12. ENFORCEABILITY. Each Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the obligations undertaken by such Indemnitor in this Indemnity are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Lender’s consideration for entering into this transaction, Lender has specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by such Indemnitor of all such defenses, and (d) such Indemnitor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, each Indemnitor does hereby represent and confirm to Lender that such Indemnitor is fully informed regarding, and that such Indemnitor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon such Indemnitor, and (iv) the legal consequences to such Indemnitor of waiving such defenses. Each Indemnitor acknowledges that such Indemnitor makes this Indemnity with the intent that this Indemnity and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by Lender, and that Lender is induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

 

13. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS; AMENDMENTS. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall be in addition to and shall not limit or in any way affect the obligations of Indemnitors under any other existing or future guaranties or indemnities unless said other guaranties or indemnities are expressly modified or revoked in writing. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Indemnity shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver or amendment, discharge or change is or may be sought.

 

14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All terms of this Indemnity shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

15. GOVERNING LAW. This Indemnity shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by federal laws.

 

7


16. MISCELLANEOUS. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions hereof. The liability of all persons and entities who are in any manner obligated hereunder to Lender as an Indemnitor shall be joint and several. If any provision of this Indemnity shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from this Indemnity and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of this Indemnity.

 

17. PERFORMANCE DATE. If the date (“Performance Date”) on which any action is to be taken, any obligation is to be performed, or any notice is to be given under this Indemnity falls on any day other than a business day (i.e., any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday), such Performance Date shall be automatically extended to the next business day.

 

18. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS INDEMNITY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS INDEMNITY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”) and between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and a resolution adopted by the Issuer on May 2, 2007 (the “Bond Resolution”), the Issuer has authorized the issuance of its Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007A, in the principal amount $17,000,000, and authorized in an amount up to $24,000,000 (the “Series 2007A Bonds”) and its Taxable Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Windsor on the River, LLC Project), Series 2007B, in the principal amount $7,000,000 (the “Series 2007B Bonds” and together with the Series 2007A Bonds, the “Bonds”), the proceeds of which will be lent to the Borrower to finance and/or refinance the acquisition and rehabilitation of an apartment project located in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa (the “Project”), to be partially occupied by individuals of low or moderate income within the meaning of Section 142 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

This instrument was prepared by Patra S. Geroulis, Ice Miller LLP, 200 West Madison Street, Suite 3500, Chicago, Illinois 60606.


B. The Code and the regulations and rulings promulgated with respect thereto prescribe that the use and operation of the Project be restricted in certain respects and in order to ensure that the Project will continue to be used and operated in accordance with the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower have determined to enter into this Land Use Restriction Agreement in order to set forth certain terms and conditions relating to the use and operation of the Project.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and intending to be legally bound, the Issuer, Trustee and the Borrower agree and declare as follows:

Section 1. Rental Requirement.

(a) Once available for occupancy, each unit of the Project (as “unit” is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.103-8(b)(8)(i) and “Project” is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.103-8(b)(4)) must be rented or available for rental on a continuous basis during the longer of (i) the period during which the Series 2007A Bonds are outstanding, or (ii) a period (the “Qualified Project Period”) (A) commencing on the first day on which at least 10% of the units in the Project were first occupied, and (B) ending on the date which is the latest of(l) 15 years after the date on which at least 50% of the units in the Project were first occupied, (2) the first day on which no tax-exempt private activity bond issued with respect to such Project is outstanding (all within the meaning of Section 142(d) of the Code), or (3) the date on which any assistance provided with respect to the Project under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, terminates.

(b) All of the units in the Project must be rented or available for rental on a continuous basis to members of the general public and substantially all of the Project must consist of similarly constructed units together with any functionally related or subordinate facilities, including facilities for use by tenants, e.g., swimming pools, recreational facilities, parking areas, and other facilities which are reasonably required for such Project as a residential rental facility.

Section 2. Low or Moderate Income Occupancy Requirement.

(a) Twenty percent (20%) or more of the completed units of the Project (the “Low or Moderate Income Units”) shall be occupied by Low or Moderate Income Tenants (as described in Section 3 hereof) continuously during the Qualified Project Period (the “Occupancy Requirement”).

(b) A unit shall be treated as occupied by Low or Moderate Income Tenants until re-occupied, other than for a temporary period not to exceed 31 days, by another occupant, at which time the character of the unit shall be redetermined.

Section 3. Low or Moderate Income Tenants; Annual Reviews.

(a) “Low or Moderate Income Tenants” means the occupants of a dwelling unit in the Project whose adjusted income, as computed in accordance with Exhibit B hereto, does not

 

- 2 -


exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Median Gross Income for the Area. “Median Gross Income for the Area” means the median income for th4 area where the Project is located as determined, with adjustments for larger and smaller family sizes, by the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under Section 8(f)(3) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. If programs under Section 8(f) are terminated, Median Gross Income for the Area shall be determined under the method used by the Secretary immediately prior to such termination.

(b) The determination of whether the income of the residents of a unit exceed the applicable income limit shall be made first at the time of occupancy and thereafter at least annually on the basis of the current income of such residents. If the income of the occupants of a unit did not exceed the applicable income limit upon commencement of such tenants’ occupancy, the income of such occupants shall be treated as continuing not to exceed the applicable income limit unless, as of the most recent determination of annual income, such occupants’ income exceeds 140% of the applicable income limit for new tenants at such Project and before the next income determination, another residential unit of comparable or smaller size in the Project is occupied by a new tenant whose income exceeds the applicable income limit.

(c) If all the occupants of a unit are students as defined under Section 151 (e)(4) of the Code, no one of whom is entitled to file a joint return under Section 6013 of the Code, such occupants shall not qualify as Low or Moderate Income Tenants hereunder.

(d) Determination of the status of an occupant of a unit as a Low or Moderate Income Tenant shall be made upon initial occupancy of a unit in the Project by such occupant, and a new determination shall be made (i) at least annually thereafter, and (ii) upon the initial occupancy by such occupant of any other unit in the Project.

(e) Except as provided in Section 10 hereof, the method of determining low or moderate income in effect on the date of issuance of the Bonds shall be determinative even if such method is subsequently changed.

Section 4. Additional Covenants. The Borrower further covenants and agrees that:

(a) The Borrower will own, manage and operate the Project on a continuous basis as a residential rental project Comprised of several proximate and interrelated buildings or structures, each containing at least one dwelling unit, and facilities functionally related and subordinate thereto, in accordance with Section 142(d) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder or applicable thereunder.

(b) All of the dwelling units in the Project will consist of similarly constructed units, and each dwelling unit in the Project will contain separate and complete facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation separate and distinct from other units, including cooking facilities equipped with a cooking range, refrigerator and sink.

(c) None of the dwelling units in the Project will at any time be utilized on a transient basis, will ever be leased or rented for an initial lease term of less than six months, nor will any portion of the Project ever be used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity house, sorority house, hospital, nursing home, retirement home, sanitarium, rest home or trailer court or park for use on a transient basis.

 

- 3 -


(d) Except for dwelling units occupied by a resident manager or maintenance personnel, the dwelling units in the Project will be rented to persons who are members of the general public, and the Borrower shall not give preference to any particular class or group of persons in renting units other than to Low or Moderate Income Tenants.

(e) The Borrower will annually file not later than December 31 and will submit to the Trustee as often as necessary to comply with the requirements of Sections 42 and 142(d) of the Code, copies of all annual filings of Project compliance required to be filed under the Code which are subject to independent investigation and verification by the Trustee.

(f) The Mortgage to be granted by the Borrower in connection with the Project as described in Section 22 below provide that the indebtedness secured thereby may be declared to be immediately due and payable, at the option of the holder thereof, upon sale or transfer of the Project or any interest therein or transfer of beneficial interest in the Borrower, unless certain conditions specified in the Mortgage are met. As a further condition to any sale or transfer of the Project, the proposed purchaser or assignee shall assume in writing and agree to be bound by all of the obligations and covenants of the Borrower and all restrictions applicable to the Project contained herein in the manner and subject to the conditions provided in Sections 5 and 22 below.

Section 5. Covenants and Restrictions Not to Apply Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5(b) below, the Occupancy Requirement shall be a continuing requirement on the part of the Borrower and their successors and assigns for the period prescribed in Section 1 hereof, regardless of whether or not the Series 2007A Bonds remain outstanding.

(b) In the event of an involuntary noncompliance with the requirements of this Agreement and Treas. Reg. § 1.103-8(b) caused by fire, seizure, requisition, foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, change in federal law or an action of a federal agency after the date of issuance of the Bonds which prevents the Trustee from enforcing the requirements of this Agreement or Treas. Reg. § 1.103-8(b), or condemnation or similar event, the covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall cease to apply, but only if, within a reasonable period, either the Series 2007A Bonds are retired or amounts received as a consequence of such event are used to provide a project which meets the requirement of Section 142(d) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § 1.103-8(b).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5(b), such requirements shall continue to apply to the Project subsequent to foreclosure, transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar event if, at any time during the Qualified Project Period subsequent to such event, the obligor on the “acquired purpose obligation” (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.103-13(b)(4)(iv)(a)) or “related person” (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.103-10(e)) obtains an ownership interest in the Project or any portion thereof for federal tax purposes.

(c) During any other portion of the term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Trustee a compliance certificate executed by the Borrower in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (the “Compliance Certificate”) on or before August 15 of each year stating, among other matters: (1) the dwelling units of the Project which were occupied by Low or Moderate Income Tenants during such period, together with photocopies of all residential leases and income certifications of Low or Moderate Income Tenants of the Project not previously furnished to the Trustee (or a certified compilation of the substantive context thereof in sufficient detail to enable the Trustee to ascertain compliance with the provisions hereof, together with copies of the forms of lease and income certifications then in use at the Project); (2) that no default has occurred in the observance of the covenants contained in this Agreement; (3) that no event has occurred in connection with the operation of the Project which has caused, or will cause, the Project to cease to meet the requirements of this Agreement; and (4) in the event the Borrower is unable to deliver any such Compliance Certificate, the Borrower shall furnish to the Trustee in writing a detailed explanation of the reasons for such failure or inability to provide the Compliance Certificate.

(e) As soon as is reasonably possible, the Borrower shall notify the Trustee and the Issuer of the existence of any situation or the occurrence of any event of which the Borrower has knowledge, the existence or occurrence of which would violate any of the provisions of this Agreement or cause the interest on the Series 2007A Bonds to become includable in the gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes, including the provision to the Trustee of all notices and correspondence from the Issuer or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to compliance with the provisions hereof.

(f) The Borrower shall deliver annually to the Secretary of the Treasury Form 8703, Annual Certification of Residential Rental Project, care of Internal Revenue Service Center, 1160 West 1200 South, Ogden, Utah 84201-0103, as required by the Code.

Section 9. Tenant Lease Requirements. All tenant leases with respect to Low or Moderate Income Units will contain as an additional event of default by the tenant thereunder any material misstatement contained in the income certification described in Treas. Reg. § 1.167(k)-3(b) submitted to Borrower. In addition, all leases entered into after the date of original issuance and delivery of the Bonds shall specifically provide that each such lease is subject and subordinate to the terms and provisions of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and whether or not a particular lease so provides, such lease shall nonetheless be subject and subordinate to the terms and provisions of the Loan.

Section 10. Modification of Covenants. It is understood and agreed that the covenants of the Issuer and the Borrower contained herein are intended to comply with Section 142(d) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Consistent with such intent it is agreed that any amendment to Section 142(d) of the Code (or any section of the Code or other law referred to or referenced therein) which would have the effect of reducing the restrictions imposed on the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement without further action on the part of the parties hereto, and this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended in accordance with the provisions of such amendment upon the effective date of such amendment. Such amendments shall include, without limitation, any modification of the definition of low or moderate income which would have the effect of increasing the maximum permissible income of the tenants of the Low or Moderate Income Units; provided, however, if any such amendment, in the opinion of Bond Counsel (such counsel to be acceptable to the Trustee), would adversely affect the excludability of the interest on the Series 2007A Bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes, such amendment shall be of no force or effect.

Section 11. Covenant Runs with the Land-Successors Bound. This Agreement shall be placed of record in the land records of Linn County, Iowa, and, except as provided in Sections 5 and 22 hereof, the covenants contained herein shall run with the land and shall bind, and the benefits shall inure to, respectively, the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and the Issuer and all subsequent owners of the Project or any interest therein, for the periods prescribed in Section 1 and Section 2 hereof.

Section 13. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, or the enforcement of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder waived (in whole or in part) only upon receipt by the Issuer of an opinion of qualified Bond Counsel, satisfactory to the Issuer and to the Trustee, to the effect that such proposed amendment or waiver will not adversely affect the excludability of the interest on the Series 2007A Bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes and, except in the case of a waiver, an amendment in writing executed by the parties hereto, except with respect to modifications and/or amendments made or deemed made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof, which modifications and/or amendments shall be self-executing without action of the parties. The Borrower agrees, from time to time, to take all actions and steps necessary to comply, and to cause the Project to comply, with the requirements of Section 142(d) of the Code and to enter into modifications and amendments to this Agreement to the extent required by Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Restrictions contained herein which are not required by such regulations may be amended in accordance with the first sentence of this section.

Section 14. Assignment of Issuer’s Interest. For so long as the Series 2007A Bonds are outstanding, the interest of the Issuer in this Agreement will be, and hereby is, assigned to the Trustee, and its successors, under the Indenture, and during such period this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Trustee in accordance with its terms. If the Series 2007A Bonds shall mature or be redeemed prior to the end of the periods set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof, the Trustee shall continue to enforce the provisions of this Agreement for and on behalf of the Issuer. In such case, the Borrower hereby covenants to pay the reasonable fees and expenses, including attorney’s fees, of the Trustee incurred by the Trustee in enforcing the provisions hereof.

Section 15. Defaults, Remedies. If the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein on its part to be observed or performed for a period of 30 days after the Trustee or the Issuer shall have given written notice to the Borrower of such failure, then and in such event, the Issuer or the Trustee shall be entitled, individually or collectively, in addition to all other remedies provided by law or in equity, to compel specific performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement or by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity require the Borrower to perform its obligations and covenants hereunder or enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Issuer or Trustee hereunder or otherwise seek injunctive relief, it being recognized that the beneficiaries of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages in the event of the Borrower’s default. The Trustee agrees that upon receipt from the Borrower of notice of noncompliance pursuant to Section 6 hereof, or if the Trustee otherwise believes that the Borrower is not in compliance with one or more of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, it will promptly, by written notice to the Borrower, direct the Borrower to institute action to correct such noncompliance, such corrective action to be taken within a reasonable period after the violation is first discovered. In no event shall the Issuer or the Trustee seek any form of compensation or monetary damages in the event of the Borrower’s default under this Agreement (other than indemnification of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement and payment of its fees and expenses).

1. Calculation of Eligible Income:

 

a

  

Enter amount entered for entire household, except minors, in 5 above:

   $                

b

  

If the amount entered in 6.a. above is greater than $5,000, enter the excess of     % (being the current passbook savings rate as determined by HUD) of line 6.a. over the amount entered on line 6.b., if any.

   $                
   TOTAL ELIGIBLE INCOME   
   (line 1.a plus line 1.b):    $                

 

2. First Year Certifications. In order to comply with applicable federal tax law, the development has elected to comply with the requirement that at least 20 percent of the units in the development will be set aside and rented to individuals and families with incomes less than or equal to 50 percent of Median Gross Income for the Area.* Based upon the foregoing election, the Total Eligible Income of the occupants of the unit as a first year tenant qualifies the unit as a set aside unit for purposes of the housing tax credit provisions contained in Section 42(g) and tax-exempt bond provisions of Section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

 

3. Recertifications. Applicable federal law requires that the determination of whether the income of residents of a unit in the development exceeds the applicable income limit shall be made at least annually on the basis of the current income of the residents. On recertification, the income of such resident shall be treated as continuing not to exceed the applicable income limit unless, as of the most recent annual recertification, (a) such resident’s income exceeds 140% of the income limit applicable for the first year tenants, and (b) before the next income determination, any residential unit of comparable or smaller size in the development is occupied by a new resident whose income exceeds the applicable income limit.

 

4. Students. If the answers to items 7.a., 7.b., 7.c. AND 7.d. above are all NO, the unit will not qualify as a set aside unit. If the answer to item 7.a., 7.b., 7.c. OR 7.d. above is YES, the unit does not fail to qualify as a set aside unit merely because all occupants are students. If the answer to 7.a. above is NO, but the answer to item 7.b., 7.c. or 7.d. is YES, the unit will not qualify as a set aside unit under the tax-exempt bond provisions of Section 142(d) of the Code but will qualify for purposes of low income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Code.

 

B-5


Applicant/Tenant: Under the ¨ 20/50 Test or ¨ 40/60 Test

 

  ¨ Qualifies as a first year set-aside tenant under paragraph 2 above.

 

  ¨ Qualifies, on recertification, as a continuing set-aside tenant under the 140% test under paragraph 3 above.

 

  ¨ Does not, on recertification, qualify as a set-aside tenant (NOTE: If this box is checked and the development is not 100% set-aside tenants, the next available unit of comparable or smaller size in the development may need to be rented to a first year qualifying set-aside tenant to assure that at least 20% of the units are occupied by, or available for rental to, qualifying tenants or to assure some greater percentage of units ale so rented to generate the desired level of tax credits).

 

Date:                       ,

* “Median Gross Income for the Area” means the median income for the statistical area where the Project is located as determined by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Section 8(f)(3) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, taking into account adjustments for family size or if programs under said Section 8(f) are terminated, median income determined under the method used by the Secretary immediately prior to the termination. Such income figures are to be updated annually by HUD.

(b) The Indenture set forth rights of and duties and obligations imposed on, the Remarketing Agent in connection with the tender and remarketing of the Bonds. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Remarketing Agent shall be incorporated herein by reference and be made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein, and the Remarketing Agent accepts such duties and obligations imposed pursuant to the Indenture.

STEADFAST INCOME REIT

ACQUIRES WINDSOR ON THE RIVER APARTMENTS IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA

REIT Portfolio Now Tops $100 Million with Nine Properties

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2012 – Steadfast Income REIT, Inc. announced today the $33 million acquisition of Windsor on the River, a 424-unit community in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cedar Rapids recently ranked near the top of Forbes Magazine’s 2011 list of “Best Places for Business and Careers.”

“Many of the factors that Forbes highlighted in their review of Cedar Rapids — namely its favorable employment growth and outlook, education, cost of doing business and cost of living — were key components in our decision to acquire Windsor on the River,” said Rodney F. Emery, CEO and president of Steadfast.

Windsor on the River was built in 1982 in a wooded, resort-style setting overlooking the Cedar River and the Ellis Golf Course, and consists of one-,two- and three-bedroom apartments averaging 930 square feet. The property underwent a $2.4 million renovation in 2007 that included newly appointed interiors with oak cabinetry, wood flooring and new carpeting. Additionally, many units include a washer/dryer, vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, private patios or balconies and sizeable walk-in closets.

The 95% occupied property boasts community features that include fitness facilities, lighted tennis courts, indoor racquetball courts, an Olympic-sized pool, gated underground parking and a clubhouse. Windsor’s proximity to park areas also affords it the distinction of being one of the only pet-friendly apartment communities in the area.

The acquisition marks the REIT’s second Iowa-area property. In December 2010, Steadfast acquired Park Place Apartments, a high-rise building located in downtown Des Moines.
