Net Spread pursuant to this Section 2.4.6.2) . With
respect to (i) the First Extension Option, the Net Spread
applicable for any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche during such
extension period shall be determined by Lender in its sole

applicable Commitment Letter, Lender shall have no further
obligation to advance any funds at the Margin referenced in such
Commitment Letter.
2.5.2.2. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender will incur certain costs in connection
with a Rate Lock and, if after Rate Lock, Borrower (i) fails to
deliver the relevant fully executed originals of the applicable
Commitment Letter, Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter, Loan Request
and Fixed Rate Note to Lender in accordance with Section
2.5.2.1 or (ii) otherwise revokes the pending but
unfunded Loan Request (each, a " Rate Lock Termination Event

financial markets in reliance on its expectation that Borrower
would deliver the relevant fully executed originals of the
applicable Commitment Letter, Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter,
Loan Request and Fixed Rate Note to Lender in accordance with
Section 2.5.2.1 and accept the advance of the
requested Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranche. Borrower shall be obligated

unfunded Loan Request after Rate Lock, Lender shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable after all other conditions to advance are
satisfied under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, deliver the
requested funds to Borrower pursuant to the applicable Loan
Request; provided , that interest under any Fixed Rate Note
shall not begin to accrue until Lender delivers such requested
funds to Borrower.

borrowing (collectively, the " Sublimits "):
2.5.3.1. the Loan

Sections 2.5.3.1 or 2.5.3.2 ,
Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.5
. Borrower must assure compliance with Sections
2.5.3.1 or 2.5.3.2 pursuant to
the provisions of Section 4.3 . Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the
Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's
determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits,
then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits,
(i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches
then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall automatically
increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule 3.2 (as such Net
Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2) , further
increased, if at all, in accordance with Schedule 3.2
, as a result of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate
Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by one-hundred
basis points (0.01). In the event that the Facility Debt Service
Coverage Ratio shall continue to be less than required pursuant to
Section 2.5.3.2 or the Loan to Value Ratio shall
exceed the ratio permitted in accordance with Section
2.5.3.1 for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days from
the date of Borrower's receipt of Notice of such non-compliance,
the same shall constitute an Event of Default.

pursuant to Section 2.5.1 , and subject to the
Sublimits of Section 2.5.3 and the provisions
of Section 5.2 , Lender, relying on the truth and
accuracy of the matters set forth in the Loan Request (but without

matters), shall fund the amount requested in such Loan Request to
Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds on the
Borrowing Date. Provided all conditions set forth in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are satisfied, the Borrowing Date
shall be the Business Day set forth in the Loan Request,
provided that such date is at least three (3) but not more
than five (5) Business Days after the date of the Loan Request.
Lender shall fund the amounts requested in any Loan Request by 3:00
p.m. Eastern Time on the Borrowing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Loan Request (other than a Loan Request which is not
related to or dependent on the addition of a real property under
Section 2.9) made contemporaneously with a
request for the addition of a real property under Section
2.9 shall be subject to the time requirements set
forth in Section 2.9 .
The obligation of Borrower to repay the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan, together with
interest thereon, shall be evidenced by the Note payable to the
order of Lender.

solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial
enterprise (as set forth in the Borrower's organizational
documents) and not for personal, family, household or agricultural

Additions to the Collateral Pool .
2.9.1.
Procedure for Proposing a Real Property Addition to the
Collateral Pool .
Borrower or Proposed Borrower, as the case may
be, may propose to add one or more multi-family real properties to
the Collateral Pool by delivering to Lender (i) a written proposal
for addition of the proposed real property(ies), (ii) a Mortgage
Review Fee for each proposed real property, (iii) a Seismic Report
Fee, if and as applicable, for each proposed real property, and
(iv) the Underwriting Materials with respect to the proposed real
property(ies) and with respect to Proposed Borrower, if applicable,
provided that, no more than one (1) such proposal shall be
submitted to Lender in any one (1) Month. Upon Lender's receipt of
all fees required hereunder and all Underwriting Materials, Lender
shall notify Borrower or Proposed Borrower of the same. The
determination of whether Borrower or Proposed Borrower has provided
Lender with all Underwriting Materials shall be in Lender's
discretion. For purposes of this Section 2.9 ,
Borrower or Proposed Borrower may submit a multi-family real
property for addition to the Collateral Pool, if Borrower or
Proposed Borrower has a contract to purchase such real property,
provided that Borrower or Proposed Borrower consummates the
purchase of such real property on or before the date such real
property is proposed to be added to the Collateral Pool. Both the
Mortgage Review Fee and the Seismic Report Fee, if any, shall be
deemed earned upon delivery thereof, whether or not Lender approves
or disapproves such real property for addition hereunder. Borrower
shall pay all costs and expenses that Lender and Servicer incur in
connection with any such proposal to add a real property to the
Collateral Pool, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees and any reasonable costs and expenses incurred with
respect to third party reports, whether or not Lender approves or
disapproves such real property for addition hereunder. Borrower or
its Affiliate shall be permitted to engage and pay directly the
third-party consultants to be retained for the required property
condition reports and environmental reports, provided that
(A) Lender and Servicer approve in advance and in writing each such
consultant and the scope of each such report, and (B) each such
report states that it is made for the benefit, use and reliance of
Lender and Servicer, as well as Borrower and/or its
Affiliate.
2.9.2.
Procedure for Adding a Real Property to the Collateral Pool
.
2.9.2.1. With
respect to any fully stabilized multi-family real property that
Borrower or Proposed Borrower, as the case may be, proposes for
addition to the Collateral Pool, Lender shall, within fifty (50)
days of the date on which Lender notifies Borrower or Proposed
Borrower that it has received all Underwriting Materials and all
applicable fees, use its best efforts to accept or reject in
writing the proposed real property on the basis of whether such
proposed real property meets Lender's then current requirements for
addition to the Collateral Pool, and in the event that Lender
accepts the proposed real property for addition to the Collateral
Pool, Lender shall provide Borrower with a written approval letter
and use its best efforts to add such real property to the
Collateral Pool within twenty (20) days of the date of such
acceptance, subject to Borrower's or Proposed Borrower's timely
performance of all obligations listed under Section
2.9.2.2 . Each property must pass Lender's own assessment
of earthquake risk to be included in the Collateral Pool.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no real
property shall be submitted for addition unless (x) the Collateral
Pool Properties (after taking into consideration the Market Value
of the real property submitted for addition), in the aggregate,
have a Loan to Value Ratio as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion no greater than the Maximum Loan to Value Ratio and (y)
such property has a value as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion that exceeds NINE MILLION NINE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE AND NO/100 Dollars
($9,999,999.00). The failure of Lender to respond to Borrower's or
Proposed Borrower's request within such fifty (50) day period shall
be deemed a rejection by Lender of the proposal to add the real
property to the Collateral Pool. If Lender provides the reason(s)
for such rejection, Borrower or Proposed Borrower shall have fifty
(50) days to cure or otherwise resolve to the satisfaction of
Lender, the objections of Lender to such proposed real property
(Lender, in its sole discretion, may require that Borrower provide
within such fifty (50) day cure period necessary updates of any or
all of the Underwriting Materials). If Borrower or Proposed
Borrower does not satisfy Lender's objections, then such proposal
shall be deemed terminated (unless Lender, in its sole discretion
shall opt to extend such fifty (50) day cure period)
provided that, any such termination shall not prevent
Borrower or Proposed Borrower from subsequently resubmitting a real
property (together with all applicable fees due hereunder and the
Underwriting Materials) for addition to the Collateral Pool,
further provided that Borrower may not resubmit the same
real property for addition to the Collateral Pool more often than
one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, under no
circumstances shall the addition of any real property increase the
amount of the Commitment.
2.9.2.2. If and
upon the date of acceptance by Lender of a multi-family real
property submitted for addition to the Collateral Pool (such
acceptance to be in writing, together with Lender's determination
of the Initial Market Value of such real property and the Net
Operating Income of such property), whether following the initial
proposal of such real property or after satisfying any objections
of Lender, such real property shall be added to the Collateral
Pool, provided that, prior to such addition (or in the
instance of the documents required under item (iii)(b) below, as
soon as practicable after such addition), Borrower or Proposed
Borrower shall (i) pay the Addition Fee pursuant to Section
2.9.3 , (ii) pay all costs and expenses that Lender or
Servicer incur in connection with the inclusion of such real
property, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, and (iii)
submit the following to Lender: (a) all Collateral Pool Property
Documents reasonably requested by Lender, where appropriate, fully
executed and where appropriate duly acknowledged and filed of
record in the appropriate official public records, (b) copies of
all filing receipts and acknowledgements issued by any governmental
authority evidencing any recordation or filing necessary to perfect
Lender's Lien on the subject real property or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such recordation and filing of
the applicable Security Instrument, (c) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that, subject to the Permitted Exceptions,
(1) in the case of personal property, the Lien constitutes a first
priority security interest in favor of Lender and, (2) in the case
of real property, the Security Instrument constitutes a valid and
perfected first priority Lien in favor of Lender (such evidence to
be in the form of a title insurance policy acceptable to Lender in
both form and substance), and (d) opinions of counsel reasonably
acceptable to Lender and (iv) in the case of a Proposed Borrower,
such Proposed Borrower shall execute (a) separate allonges to the
Revolving Credit Note and any Fixed Rate Note(s) then outstanding
and (b) a joinder agreement, both of which shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.
If Borrower or Proposed Borrower fails to perform any of the acts,
where applicable, or to submit any of the documents and evidence
listed under (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above together with any and
all updates to the Underwriting Materials reasonably requested by
Lender within fifty (50) days of the date of Lender's acceptance,
Lender may at its option reject the proposed real property and
terminate such proposal. In the event that Borrower or Proposed
Borrower performs all of the acts and submits all of the documents
and evidence listed in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above within fifty
(50) days of the date of Lender's acceptance, the proposed real
property shall be added to the Collateral Pool.
For each property added to the Collateral Pool,
Borrower shall pay all of Lender's or Servicer's costs and expenses
in connection with such addition (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees) and a fee to Lender, in addition to any other fees
payable to Lender upon such addition, in the amount of FIFTEEN
THOUSAND and NO/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) (the " Addition Fee
"). The Addition Fee shall be due and payable upon consummation of
the addition of the proposed real property to the Collateral
Pool.
2.10.
Release of Collateral .
Lender shall, upon thirty (30) days advance
written Notice, release the Liens granted hereunder with respect to
a Collateral Pool Property or Properties which constitute(s) less
than all Collateral Pool Properties, provided that (i) prior
to such release Borrower shall pay Lender a non-refundable fee of
TEN THOUSAND and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (a " Release
Fee '") and all costs and expenses that Lender or Servicer
incur in connection with such release, including, but not limited
to, attorneys' fees and all other amounts due to Lender hereunder
in connection with such release, including, without limitation,
Prepayment Fees and accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable,
(ii) at the time of the request for such release, no Event of
Default or Potential Default shall exist, (iii) after giving effect
to such release, no Event of Default or Potential Default shall
exist, and (iv) Borrower shall be in compliance with all provisions
hereof, including without limitation, the Sublimits,
provided , however , that if such release would
otherwise cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits
set forth in Section 2.5.3 , Borrower shall have the
opportunity to cure the same prior to or simultaneously with such
release by either (a) pledging multi-family real property
collateral, in form, substance, value and in a manner all
acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, in accordance with
Section 2.9 or (b) prepaying so much of the
Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3 .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause
compliance with the Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days
following Lender's determination of Borrower's non-compliance with
the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply with
the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate
Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall
automatically increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the
highest Net Spread shown on Schedule 3.2 (as
such Net Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to
Sections 2.2(d). 2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2 ),
further increased, if at all, in accordance with Schedule
3.2 , as a result of the duration of such Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate applicable to all
Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by
one-hundred basis points (0.01). Notwithstanding such thirty (30)
day time period to obtain a release, Lender shall upon five (5)
Business Days Notice provide a "payoff letter", if applicable,
stating the amount necessary to obtain a release so as to
effectuate a sale or refinance of the subject Collateral Pool
Property. Upon the release of a Lien on a Collateral Pool Property,
if the Borrower that is the owner of such Collateral Pool Property
owns no other Collateral Pool Properties, such Borrower shall be
released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, under no circumstances may Borrower receive a
release of the Security Instrument with respect to the last
property in the Collateral Pool prior to the Maturity Date, unless
Borrower has elected to terminate this Agreement under
Section 2.13 hereunder. Borrower may revoke a
pending request to release a Collateral Pool Property at any time;
provided that Borrower pays all of Lender's reasonable costs
and expenses with respect to such release request, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees; provided ,
further , that Borrower shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of the Release Fee paid to Lender in connection with
such request to release a Collateral Pool Property.
2.11.
Payment of the Loan Balance Without Termination .
Prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall have
the right to repay the entire Loan (i.e., the Revolving Credit Note
and any Fixed Rate Note then outstanding), subject in each instance
to the provisions of Sections 4.3 and
4.4 , all without any release of any Lien, and
subsequently reborrow hereunder, provided that Borrower is
at such time, and thereafter remains, in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
obligation to be in compliance with the Sublimits and the
obligations to pay all fees due and payable hereunder. Under no
circumstances shall Borrower be entitled to any additional advances
or re-advances under (a) any Fixed Rate Note at any time or (b) the
Revolving Credit Note on or after the Maturity Date.
2.12.1.
Timing and Procedure of Valuation .
In addition to any other provisions requiring
valuations hereunder, Lender shall perform an annual valuation (the
" Valuation ") to determine, in its sole but reasonable
discretion in accordance with its then current underwriting
policies, practices and procedures consistently applied, (i) the
then Market Value and (ii) the Net Operating Income of each of the
Collateral Pool Properties, which Valuation shall be performed on
or about September 1 st of
each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, commencing on
or about September 1, 2009. In connection with such Valuation,
Borrower shall deliver to Servicer by no later than June 1 of each
calendar year, a current rent roll (which shall be no more than
thirty (30) days old) and a twelve (12) month operating statement
with respect to each Collateral Pool Property, each certified by an
Authorized Officer. Any operating statement required hereunder
shall relate to the operations of the applicable Collateral Pool
Property during the preceding calendar year. Without limiting the
foregoing, each such rent roll and operating statement shall be in
such form and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably require
and Lender may require that any such rent rolls and operating
statements shall be verified by an independent party acceptable to
Lender.
2.12.2.
Valuations that Disclose a Decrease in Market Value and/or Net
Operating Income .
If any Valuation discloses that the Market Value
and/or Net Operating Income of the Collateral Pool Properties has
decreased below the then current values or calculations thereof,
the Maximum Facility Available may be adjusted, if necessary, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.3 , and
in the event such decrease in Market Value or Net Operating Income
shall cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits set
forth in Section 2.5.3 , Borrower shall within the
time periods set forth in (i) and (ii) below, cure the same by
bringing the Loan into compliance with the Sublimits, by either (i)
within ninety (90) days of Notice from Lender of such decrease,
pledging multi-family real property collateral in form, substance,
value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole
discretion, in accordance with Section 2.9 or
(ii) within fifteen (15) days of Notice from Lender of such
decrease, prepaying so much of the Loan as is necessary to cause
compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.3 . Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the
Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's
determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits,
then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits,
(i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches
then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall automatically
increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule 3.2 (as such Net
Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2) , further
increased, if at all, in accordance with Schedule 3.2
, as a result of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate
Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by one-hundred
basis points (0.01).
2.12.3.
Valuations that Disclose an Increase in Market Value and/or Net
Operating Income
If any
Valuation discloses that the Market Value and/or Net Operating
Income of the Collateral Pool Properties has increased above the
then current values thereof, the Maximum Facility Available may be
adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.5.3 , and Borrower shall be entitled to
borrow and reborrow hereunder, subject to the Sublimits, up to the
amount of the Commitment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

Note or (b) the sum of (x) a liquidated Unused Facility Fee equal
to fifteen basis points (15) per annum (computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) times the difference
between the Commitment (as the same shall exist as of such date)
and the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount, for each Month which will
elapse from the Month in which such termination and/or acceleration
occurs through and including the Scheduled Maturity Date
(provided , that if such termination and/or acceleration of
the Loan occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date,
then such fee shall be calculated through and including the third
anniversary of the Closing Date), such liquidated Unused Facility
Fee to be discounted to net present value at a discount rate equal
to the Treasury Rate, together with all accrued Unused Facility
Fees payable as of the date of such termination, and (y) a

assumed Base Rate Borrowing Tranche in an amount equal to the
Deemed Minimum Loan Amount times the sum of (a) the lowest Net
Spread shown on Schedule 3.2 (or any
replacement schedule of Net Spreads in accordance with
Sections 2.2(d) , 2.2(e) or
2.4.6.2) plus (b) the Servicing Spread, for
each Month which will elapse from the Month in which such
termination and/or acceleration occurs through and including the

net present value at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate,
together with all accrued Minimum Usage Fees, if any, payable as of
the date of such termination and/or acceleration.
2.14.
Material Adverse Change to Borrower or a Collateral Pool
Property .
If (i) Borrower or a Collateral Pool Property
experiences a Material Adverse Change or (ii) a Material Adverse
Change occurs with respect to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents taken as a whole, Borrower shall promptly notify
Lender of the same in writing as soon as Borrower has notice
thereof. If Lender shall receive Notice of a Material Adverse
Change in accordance with the preceding sentence, or otherwise
becomes aware of a Material Adverse Change, which Material Adverse
Change affects a Collateral Pool Property, Lender may promptly
conduct a Valuation of the affected Collateral Pool Property
pursuant to Section 2.12 . Until such time as such
Valuation, if requested, shall be completed, the Collateral Pool
Property which experienced the Material Adverse Change, or which is
owned by a Borrower that experienced a Material Adverse Change,
shall be deemed for the purposes of determining whether any new
borrowing request satisfies all of the Sublimits set forth in
Section 2.5.3 to have the Market Value and Net
Operating Income reasonably determined and quantified by Lender
upon the information then available to Lender. Lender shall
promptly provide Borrower with written Notice of the results of
such Valuation. If the results of such Valuation disclose that the
Market Value of the affected Collateral Pool Property has
decreased, then the Market Value shall thereafter be deemed to be
the amount shown in such Valuation. In the event that such
Valuation hereunder shall cause Borrower to be in non-compliance
with the Sublimits set forth in Section 2.5.3 ,
Borrower shall, within the time periods set for the in (x) and (y)
below, cure the same by bringing the Loan into compliance with the
Sublimits by either (x) within ninety (90) days of the Notice of
such valuation, pledging multi-family real property collateral in
form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in
its sole discretion, in accordance with Section 2.9
or (y) within fifteen (15) days of Notice from Lender of
such decrease, prepaying so much of the Loan as is necessary to
cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.3 . Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the
Sublimits within fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's
determination of Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits,
then, for so long as Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits,
(i) the Net Spread applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches
then outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall automatically
increase to one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net
Spread shown on Schedule 3.2 (as such Net
Spreads are adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(d).
2.2(e) and 2.4.6.2) , further
increased, if at all, in accordance with Schedule 3.2
, as a result of the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate
Borrowing Tranches shall automatically increase by one-hundred
basis points (0.01). If Lender shall receive Notice of a Material
Adverse Change from Borrower hereunder, or otherwise becomes aware
of a Material Adverse Change which affects Borrower or the
enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents taken
as a whole, Borrower shall immediately provide any information or
documents reasonably requested by Lender, including, but not
limited to, (a) with respect to a Material Adverse Change which
affects Borrower, financial statements and Borrower's business plan
to cure such Material Adverse Change or (b) with respect to a
Material Adverse Change which affects the enforceability of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents taken as a whole, replacement
documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its
discretion, together with a legal opinion regarding the
enforceability of such replacement documents, acceptable to Lender
in its discretion.
2.15.
Release of Collateral Followed by a Permanent
Loan.
Borrower may request that Lender cause Servicer
to make a permanent loan (the " Permanent Loan ") to be
secured by one or more Collateral Pool Properties designated by
Borrower (the " Permanent Loan Collateral ") to be
simultaneously released from the Collateral Pool and encumbered in
favor of Servicer as security for Borrower's obligations under the
Permanent Loan, which request shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.15.2 . The Permanent Loan
shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Streamlined Refinancing Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
under no circumstances may Borrower receive a release of the
Security Instrument with respect to the last property in the
Collateral Pool prior to the Maturity Date, unless Borrower has
elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 2.13
hereunder.
2.15.2.
Procedure for Making a Permanent Loan .
Borrower may request that Lender cause Servicer
to make a Permanent Loan to Borrower, which request (i) shall be in
writing, which writing shall specify (a) the Collateral Pool
Property(ies) that will constitute the Permanent Loan Collateral,
(b) the original principal amount of the requested Permanent Loan,
which amount shall be greater than or equal to TEN MILLION and
No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), (c) the related reduction in the
Maximum Facility Available, (d) whether Borrower has selected
Lender's then current early rate lock delivery option, and (e) any
payment or prepayment of a Borrowing Tranche, and (ii) shall be
accompanied by (a) any fees then due and owing under Lender's
Streamlined Refinancing Program for each Collateral Pool Property
proposed by Borrower to be subject to the Permanent Loan, and (b)
the Underwriting Materials. Following receipt of all of the items
specified in (i) and (ii) of the previous sentence, Lender shall
use its best efforts to consent to Borrower's request within sixty
(60) days of such Notice, provided that (1) at the time of
such request no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, (2)
the Permanent Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Streamlined Refinancing Program, (3) after giving
effect to such release no Event of Default or Potential Default
shall exist and Borrower will be in compliance with all provisions
hereof, including the Sublimits set forth in Section
2.5.3 , further provided that if any release
occasioned by a Permanent Loan would otherwise cause Borrower to be
in non-compliance with the Sublimits, Borrower shall have the
opportunity to cure the same, prior to or simultaneously with the
release and the consummation of the Permanent Loan (which shall
occur pursuant to the Streamlined Refinancing Program), by either
(A) pledging collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner
all acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, or (B) prepaying
so much of the Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the
Sublimits, each in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.3 , (4) Borrower shall provide
evidence to Lender of title insurance in form and substance
acceptable to Lender and in the face amount of the Permanent Loan,
(5) the proposed Borrower under the Permanent Loan shall execute
and deliver such documents as Lender, in its discretion, may
request in order to evidence the making of the Permanent Loan and
in order to grant Lender a first priority Lien on the real and
personal property constituting the Permanent Loan Collateral
subject, in each case, to any Permitted Exceptions, and (6)
Borrower shall pay Lender any fees then due and owing under
Lender's Streamlined Refinancing Program. Thereafter, Lender shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Permanent
Loan within ninety (90) days after its consent to Borrower's
request thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is
unable to cause compliance with the Sublimits within fifteen (15)
Business Days following Lender's determination of Borrower's
non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as Borrower
fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread applicable
to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding (and
thereafter renewed) shall automatically increase to one-hundred
basis points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown on
Schedule 3.2 (as such Net Spreads are adjusted
by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(d). 2.2(e)
and 2.4.6.2) , further increased, if at all, in accordance
with Schedule 3.2 , as a result of the duration of
such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the interest rate
applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall automatically
increase by one-hundred basis points (0.01). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Borrower selects Lender's then current
early rate lock delivery option, Lender shall use its best efforts,
subject to Borrower's timely compliance with Lender's requests, to
lock the interest rate for the requested Permanent Loan within
fifteen (15) Business Days of Borrower's Notice hereunder. Any
Permanent Loan granted pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall
not reduce the Commitment hereunder. Simultaneous with the closing
of the Permanent Loan, Lender shall release the Lien granted
hereunder on the Permanent Loan Collateral. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time prior to the release and consummation of the
Permanent Loan, Borrower may by written Notice revoke its request
for a release and a Permanent Loan pursuant to this Section
2.15 ; provided, however, that Borrower shall reimburse
Lender and Servicer respectively, for Lender's and Servicer's
reasonable costs and expenses, including breakage costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and any other fees due under this
Agreement, that Lender or Servicer incur in connection with such
proposed release and Permanent Loan financing prior to Borrower's
revocation.
From time to time, Lender in its sole discretion
revises its form Loan Documents to add, delete or change
requirements, conditions and other provisions of its form
documents. The revised form of Loan Documents shall be used in
conjunction with any Fixed Rate Notes executed after the date
hereof, or any Properties added to the Collateral Pool after the
date hereof.
The interest rate on each Borrowing Tranche
evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note shall be the Base Rate or,
if required pursuant to Sections 3.3.2 or
3.4.3 hereof, the Prime Rate. Interest rates
under this Agreement and each Note shall be computed on the basis
of a year of three hundred sixty (36Q) days and actual days
elapsed.
3.2.
Interest Rate Determinations .
3.2.1.
Prime Rate and Base Rate Determination .
(a)
The initial Prime Rate applicable to any Prime Rate Borrowing
Tranche required under Sections 3.3.2 or
3.4.3 shall equal the Prime Rate as of the
Borrowing Date or Renewal Date, as applicable. The Prime Rate shall
thereafter fluctuate in accordance with any changes to the Prime
Rate as published from time to time during the term of the Prime
Rate Borrowing Tranche.
(b)
The Base Rate applicable to any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche
hereunder shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, equal
the Base Rate calculated as of the date of the Loan Request and set
forth in the Loan Request. In the event that the Base Rate,
calculated as of the Borrowing Date, is more than twenty-five basis
points (0.0025) higher or lower than the Base Rate set forth in the
Loan Request, the Base Rate applicable to such Loan Request shall
instead be the Base Rate calculated as of the Borrowing Date.
Thereafter, (i) the portion of the Base Rate attributable to the
Reference Bills® Rate (or such alternative index as may be
selected by Lender in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.4) for any Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche shall be redetermined as of each renewal of such Borrowing
Tranche pursuant to Section 3.3.3 and (ii) the
Margin for all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding shall
be redetermined as of each determination and redetermination of the
Net Spread. As determined and redetermined pursuant to this
Agreement, the same Margin shall apply to all Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches then outstanding. The portion of the Margin attributable
to the Net Spread shall be determined based on the Facility Debt
Service Coverage Ratio in accordance with the table set forth in
Schedule 3.2 . The Facility Debt Service Coverage
Ratio and Net Operating Income shall each be redetermined in
accordance with the definitions thereof, as applicable.
3.2.2.
Prime Rate, Base Rate and Margin Quotations .
Borrower may call Servicer on or before the date
on which a Loan Request is to be delivered or prior to the end of
an Interest Period, to receive both a calculation of the resulting
Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio for a proposed Prime Rate (if
required pursuant to Sections 3.3.2 or
3.4.3) or Base Rate Borrowing Tranche and an
indication of the rates then in effect, including the Margin, but
both parties acknowledge that such projection shall not be binding
on Lender or Borrower, nor shall such projection affect the rate of
interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election
is made.
Upon each Loan Request for a new Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche, and upon each Renewal Request applicable to a
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, Borrower shall notify Lender of the
period (the " Interest Period ") (which may only be
one-month (having original durations to maturity of approximately
thirty (30) days), three-month (having original durations to
maturity of approximately ninety (90) days), six-month (having
original durations to maturity of approximately one hundred eighty
(180) days) or twelve-month (having original durations to maturity
of approximately three hundred sixty (360) days)) for which the
Reference Bills® Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, shall
be determined.
3.3.1.
Interest Period to End on a Business Day.
If the last day
of any Interest Period is not a Business Day, the Interest Period
shall be deemed to mature on the Business Day immediately following
such date.
3.3.2.
No Interest Periods Beyond the Expiration Date .
Borrower shall
not select or renew an Interest Period for any Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche that would end after the Expiration Date. If at the time of
any such selection or renewal the period of time remaining prior to
the Expiration Date is less than thirty (30) days then such
Borrowing Tranche shall bear interest at the Prime Rate. No Prime
Rate Borrowing Tranche may remain outstanding in excess of thirty
(30) days at any one time.
In the case of a redetermination of an Interest
Period at the end of an Interest Period, for purposes of
calculating interest due under the applicable Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the first
Business Day immediately following the last day of the preceding
Interest Period (such date, the " Renewal Date "). For each
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, if no new Interest Period is specified
within two (2) Business Days prior to the last day of such Interest
Period, by delivery to Lender via facsimile of a fully completed,
authorized and executed request therefor (a " Renewal
Request ") in the form attached hereto as Schedule
3.3.3 , the Borrowing Tranche shall be renewed for an
Interest Period of one month at the Base Rate then applicable to a
Borrowing Tranche disbursed on the applicable Renewal Date having a
one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, (i) no Borrowing Tranche may be renewed
with a principal amount of less than TEN MILLION and NO/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) and (ii) in the event the Facility Debt Service
Coverage Ratio is less than required in accordance with
Section 2.5.3.2 or the Loan to Value Ratio
exceeds the ratio required in accordance with Section
2.5.3.1 , Borrower may renew or consolidate (but not
increase the outstanding principal amount of) any Borrowing
Tranche(s) with Interest Periods of one-month then outstanding, all
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3.3
, provided that, as of the date of such renewal or
consolidation (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default, other
than Borrower's failure to comply with Section 2.5.3.1 or
Section 2.5.3.2 , shall then exist, (b) Borrower's
failure to comply with Section 2.5.3.1 or Section
2.5.3.2 shall have been for a period of less than
ninety (90) days, and (c) Borrower is otherwise in full compliance
with all other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents,
including the provisions of Section 4.5 .
Borrower must assure compliance with Section 2.5.3.1 or
Section 2.5.3.2 pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.3 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Borrower is unable to cause compliance with the Sublimits within
fifteen (15) Business Days following Lender's determination of
Borrower's non-compliance with the Sublimits, then, for so long as
Borrower fails to comply with the Sublimits, (i) the Net Spread
applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then outstanding
(and thereafter renewed) shall automatically increase to
one-hundred basis points (0.01) over the highest Net Spread shown
on Schedule 3.2 (as such Net Spreads are
adjusted by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2(d), 2.2(e)
and 2.4.6.2) , further increased, if at
all, in accordance with Schedule 3.2 , as a result of
the duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s) and (ii) the
interest rate applicable to all Fixed Rate Borrowing Tranches shall
automatically increase by one-hundred basis points
(0.01).
3.3.4.
Interest After Default .
So long as (i) any payment under this Agreement
remains past due for thirty (30) days or more, or (ii) any other
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest on the
Loan shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier
of the due date of the first unpaid installment or the occurrence
of such other Event of Default at the default rate set forth in the
Note. If the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest on
the Loan are not paid in full on the Expiration Date, the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest on the Loan shall
thereafter bear interest at the default rate set forth in the Note.
Borrower acknowledges that (a) its failure to make timely payments
will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and
processing the Loan, (b) during the time that any installment is
delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, Lender will incur
additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of
the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender's ability to
meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other
investment opportunities, and (c) it is extremely difficult and
impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses.
Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any
installment is delinquent for more than thirty (30) days or any
other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender's
risk of nonpayment will be materially increased and Lender is
entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees
that the increase in the rate of interest set forth in the Note
represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all
circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, of the
additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of
Borrower's delinquent payment and the additional compensation
Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment
associated with a delinquent loan.
If any amount payable under this Agreement, the
Note or any other Loan Document, other than (i) the outstanding
amount of the Revolving Credit Note payable on the Maturity Date,
(ii) the then outstanding amount of any Fixed Rate Note payable on
the Maturity Date, or (iii) the then outstanding amount of the Loan
payable upon acceleration of the Note, is not received by Lender as
provided in the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and
without demand by Lender, a late charge as specified in the Note.
Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will
cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and
processing the Loan, and that it is extremely difficult and
impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees
that the late charge payable specified in the Note represents a
fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances
existing on the date of this Agreement, of the additional expenses
Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge
is payable in addition to, and not in lie
