MASTER CREDIT FACILITY
AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT is made as
of the 31st day of December, 2008, by and among (i) the
parties listed on Schedule I attached hereto, each as a
Borrower hereunder; (ii) RED MORTGAGE CAPITAL, INC., an Ohio
corporation; and (iii) EDUCATION REALTY TRUST, INC., a
Maryland corporation, and EDUCATION REALTY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP,
LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as guarantor.
A. Borrower owns one (1) or more
Rental Properties (unless otherwise defined or the context clearly
indicates otherwise, capitalized terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in Appendix I of this Agreement) as
more particularly described in Exhibit A to this
Agreement.
B. Borrower has requested that Lender
establish a $222,411,000 Credit Facility in favor of Borrower,
comprised initially of (a) a $74,550,000 Variable Facility, of
which $49,874,000 will be advanced initially, all or part of which
can be converted to a Fixed Facility in accordance with, and
subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
(b) a $147,861,000 Fixed Facility.
C. To secure the obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents issued in
connection with the Credit Facility, Borrower shall create a
Collateral Pool in favor of Lender. The Collateral Pool shall be
comprised of (i) the Rental Properties listed on Exhibit
A and (ii) any other collateral pledged to Lender from
time to time by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents.
D. Each Note and Security Document related
to the Mortgaged Properties comprising the Collateral Pool shall be
cross-defaulted ( i.e. , a default under any Note, Security
Document relating to the Collateral Pool and under this Agreement,
shall constitute a default under each Note, Security Document and
this Agreement related to the Mortgaged Properties comprising the
Collateral Pool) and cross-collateralized ( i.e. , each
Security Instrument related to the Mortgaged Properties within the
Collateral Pool shall secure all of Borrower’s obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and it is the
intent of the parties to this Agreement that, after an Event of
Default, Lender may accelerate any Note without needing to
accelerate any other Note and that in the exercise of its rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents, Lender may, except as
provided in this Agreement, exercise and perfect any and all of its
rights in and under the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged
Property without needing to exercise and perfect its rights and
remedies with respect to any other Mortgaged Property and that any
such exercise shall be without regard to the Allocable Facility
Amount assigned to such Mortgaged Property and that Lender may
recover an amount equal to the full amount outstanding in respect
of any of the Notes in connection with such exercise and any such
amount shall be applied as determined by Lender pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents.
E. Subject to the terms, conditions and
limitations of this Agreement, Lender has agreed to establish the
Credit Facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower, Lender, and Guarantor
in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in
this Agreement, hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.01. The Commitment.
Subject to the
terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement:
(a) Variable Facility Commitment
.
(i) Subject to the provisions of subsection
(a)(ii) below, Lender agrees to make Variable DMBS Advances and
Variable Structured ARM Advances to Borrower from time to time
during the Variable Facility Availability Period in accordance with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The aggregate principal
balance of the Variable Advances Outstanding at any time shall not
exceed the Variable Facility Commitment. No Variable DMBS Advances
shall be made, or be permitted to remain Outstanding unless the
aggregate of Variable DMBS Advances Outstanding is at least
$25,000,000. The borrowing of a Variable Advance shall permanently
reduce the Variable Facility Commitment by the original principal
amount of such Variable Advance. Borrower may not re-borrow any
part of a Variable Advance which it has previously borrowed and
repaid. Except as set forth in Section 2.06 of this
Agreement, no Variable Advances shall be made as a result of
increases in the Valuation of any Mortgaged Property. Any portion
of the Variable Facility Commitment that is not advanced on the
Initial Closing Date and which Lender determines may be advanced to
Borrower, is available to be advanced to Borrower within ninety
(90) days of the Initial Closing Date.
(ii) Limitation on Variable DMBS Advances.
Fannie Mae, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a
Variable DMBS Advance execution is available to Borrower in
connection with each proposed Variable DMBS Advance. The
limitations set forth in this Section 1.01(a)(ii) do not apply
to Rollover Variable Advances.
(b) Fixed Facility Commitment .
Lender agrees to make Fixed Advances to Borrower from time to time
during the Fixed Facility Availability Period. The aggregate
original principal of the Fixed Advances shall not exceed the Fixed
Facility Commitment. The borrowing of a Fixed Advance shall
permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by the original
principal amount of such Fixed Advance. Borrower may not re-borrow
any part of a Fixed Advance which it has previously borrowed and
repaid. Except as set forth in Section 2.06 , no Fixed
Advances shall be made as a result of increases in the Valuation of
any Mortgaged Property. Any portion of the Fixed Facility
Commitment that is not advanced on the Initial Closing Date and
which Lender determines may be advanced to Borrower, is available
to be advanced to Borrower within ninety (90) days of the
Initial Closing Date.
2
Section 1.02. Requests for
Advances .
Borrower shall request an Advance by giving
Lender an Advance Request in accordance with
Section 2.04 . The Advance Request shall indicate
whether the Request is for a Fixed Advance, a Variable DMBS
Advance, a Variable Structured ARM Advance or more than one type of
Advance.
Section 1.03. Maturity Date of Advances;
Amortization .
(a) Variable Advances; Amortization
. The maturity date of each Variable Advance shall be the earlier
of (i) the Variable Facility Termination Date, (ii) the
maturity date of the applicable outstanding DMBS (with respect to a
Variable DMBS Advance), or (iii) such other maturity date
referenced in any Variable Facility Note. Subject to the terms of
the preceding sentence, the maturity date of any Variable Advance
shall be specified by Borrower for such Variable Advance, provided
that such maturity date shall be no earlier than the date five
(5) years after the Closing Date of such Variable Advance and
no later than the date ten (10) years after the Closing Date
of such Variable Advance, provided that no maturity date shall
exceed the Variable Facility Termination Date. Not less than thirty
(30) Business Days prior to the maturity date of the
applicable outstanding DMBS, the relevant Borrower may request that
the Variable DMBS Advance backing the outstanding DMBS be
(1) refinanced with a Rollover Variable Advance through the
sale of a new DMBS using the DMBS Refinance Request Form (in the
form attached to the applicable Variable Facility Note) which,
shall take effect on the maturity date of the outstanding DMBS and
shall be funded by the sale of a single DMBS, in an amount
sufficient to fund the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
such Variable DMBS Advance or (2) converted to a Fixed Advance
which, shall take effect on the maturity date of the outstanding
DMBS. No Borrower may refinance any Variable DMBS Advance on or
after the Variable Facility Termination Date. The DMBS Issue Date
shall be the first day of the month in which the DMBS is issued,
and the maturity date of the DMBS funding each Variable DMBS
Advance shall be specified by Borrower in its Advance Request,
which date shall be three, six or nine full months after the DMBS
Issue Date; provided, however, in connection with a release, an
addition or a substitution of a Mortgaged Property and subject to
Borrower’s payment to Lender of an administrative fee of
$2,500, the maturity date of the DMBS funding a Variable DMBS
Advance may be one or two full months after the DMBS Issue
Date.
For these purposes, a year shall be deemed to
consist of twelve (12) 30-day months. For example, the date
which completes three full months after September 1 shall be
December 1; and the date which completes three full months after
January 1 shall be April 1. The initial Variable Advance will
require amortization calculated over the Amortization Period. Any
Future Advances that are Variable Advances may be payable interest
only, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Fixed Advances; Amortization .
The maturity date of any Fixed Advance shall be specified by
Borrower for such Fixed Advance, provided that such maturity date
shall be no earlier than the date five (5) years after the
Closing Date of such Fixed Advance and no later than the date ten
(10) years after the Closing Date of such Fixed Advance,
provided that no maturity date shall exceed the Fifteenth
Anniversary. The initial Fixed Advance will require amortization
calculated over the Amortization Period. Any Future Advances that
are Fixed Advances may be payable interest only, in Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion.
3
(i) Fixed Advances are not prepayable at
any time, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower
may prepay all or a portion of any Fixed Advance pursuant to the
yield maintenance provisions of the Fixed Facility Note.

then Outstanding DMBS (for example, if the DMBS term is three
(3) months and the entire Discount is $100,000, such monthly
installments shall equal one third (1/3) of the entire Discount (
i.e. $33,333). The first installment shall be payable on or
prior to the Closing Date of such Variable DMBS Advance. Subsequent

Structured ARM Advances .
(i) Adjustable Rate . Each Variable
Structured ARM Advance shall bear interest at an Adjustable Rate

with respect to each Variable Structured ARM Advance shall change
on each Rate Change Date until such Variable Structured ARM Advance
is repaid in accordance with the applicable Variable Facility
Note.
(i) Annual Interest Rate . Each
Fixed Advance shall bear interest at a rate, per annum, equal to

monthly installments of the Cash Interest Rate to Lender for each
Fixed Advance from the first day of the month following the Closing
Date for such Advance, to its maturity date. The Cash Interest Rate

shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs payable to the
potential investor and other reasonable costs, fees and damages
incurred by Lender in connection with its failure to fulfill the
DMBS Commitment or Fannie Mae Commitment. Lender reserves the right

satisfied on or before the Closing Date for the Initial Advance,
Lender shall make the Initial Advance on the Initial Closing Date
or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree.
(b) If the Advance Request is to obtain a
Future Advance, such Advance Request shall be in the minimum amount
of $3,000,000, except that any Request for a Variable DMBS Advance
shall be in the minimum amount of $25,000,000. If all conditions
precedent contained in Section 6.03 and

Initial Closing Date, Lender shall determine (i) the Allocable
Facility Amount and Valuation for each Initial Mortgaged Property,
(ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the
Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, (iii) the Advance Amount, and
(iv) the Commitment amount. The determinations made as of the
Initial Closing Date shall remain unchanged until the First
Anniversary. Changes in Allocable Facility Amount, Valuations, the
Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to
Value Ratio shall be made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)
.
(b) Monitoring Determinations .
Once each Calendar Quarter within twenty (20) Business Days
after Borrower has delivered to Lender the reports required in
Section 8.03 , Lender shall determine the Aggregate
Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, the
Valuations and the Allocable Facility Amounts and whether Borrower
is in compliance with the other covenants set forth in the Loan

Loan Year, monitoring determinations shall be calculated based on
the prior twelve (12) month period. After the First
Anniversary, on an annual basis, and if Lender decides that changed
market or property conditions warrant, Lender shall redetermine
Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations. Lender shall also
redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts to take account of any
addition or release of Collateral or other event that invalidates
the outstanding determinations. In determining Valuations, Lender
shall use Cap Rates based on its internal survey and analysis of
cap rates for comparable sales in the vicinity of the Mortgaged
Property, with such adjustments as Lender deems appropriate and
without any obligation to use any information provided by Borrower.
If Lender is unable to determine a Cap Rate for a Mortgaged
Property, Lender shall have the right, not more than once annually,
to obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a market study in order to
establish a Cap Rate. Lender shall promptly disclose its
determinations to Borrower. Until redetermined, the outstanding
Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no
change in Allocable Facility Amounts, Valuations, the Aggregate
Loan to Value Ratio or the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio
shall, unless resulting from the removal of Collateral from the
Collateral Pool, (i) result in a Potential Event of Default or
Event of Default, (ii) require the prepayment of any Advances,
(iii) require the addition of Collateral to the Collateral
Pool, or (iv) preclude the making of a Rollover Variable
Advance.
Section 2.06. Future Advances Made on
Increased Values.
Borrower may request, and Lender, in its sole
discretion, may advance Future Advances based on decreases in the
Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio and increases in the Aggregate Debt
Service Coverage Ratio as determined by Lender in accordance with
this Agreement and based on Lender’s determination that such
Future Advance may be made pursuant to Lender’s Underwriting
Requirements for the Fannie Mae “Supplemental Loan”
product line then in effect, and pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents, but only to the extent that such
Future Advance and subsequent reallocation of the Allocable
Facility Amounts do not cause the Geographical Diversification
Requirements to be violated. Borrower shall pay all reasonable
costs related to such Future Advance requested under this
Section 2.06 (whether or not such Future Advance is actually
made), including but not limited to Appraisal costs, environmental
site assessment costs, physical needs assessment costs,
Lender’s nonrefundable due diligence fee of $4,000 for each
Mortgaged Property in the Collateral Pool at the time plus
out-of-pocket expenses payable at the time a Request for a Future
Advance is made, a reunderwriting fee in the amount equal to the
greater of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of such proposed Future
Advance, all legal fees incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae in
connection with such proposed Future Advance and any other actual
out of pocket third party costs incurred in connection with such
proposed Future Advance. In relation to any Future Advance made
pursuant to this Section 2.06, Borrower shall be obligated to pay
an interest rate and fees, determined in accordance with the
applicable requirements of the Fannie Mae “Supplemental
Loan” product line then in effect. Borrower shall request
such Future Advance by giving Lender an Advance Request in

applied first against the Variable Advances Outstanding until there
are no further Variable Advances Outstanding, then against the
prepayment of Fixed Advances Outstanding, so long as the prepayment
is permitted under the applicable Fixed Facility Note. The
remainder of the Release Price, if any, shall be held by Lender (or
its appointed collateral agent) as Additional Collateral, in

Substitute Mortgaged Property) (the “ Property Delivery
Deadline ”) in accordance with the terms of this

Substitution Deposit .
(a) The Deposit . If a Substitution
of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property is to occur
subsequent to the release of the Release Mortgaged Property
pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(ii), at the Closing Date of the
release of the Release Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall deposit
with Lender the “ Substitution Deposit ”

lieu of depositing cash for the Substitution Deposit, Borrower may
post a Letter of Credit issued by a financial institution
acceptable to Lender and having terms and conditions acceptable to
Lender, having a face amount equal to the Substitution
Deposit.
(b) Substitution Deposit Amount .
The “ Substitution Deposit ” for each
proposed substitution shall be an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the Release Price, plus (ii) any and all of the fee
maintenance for the DMBS, or the prepayment premium for a Note
funded through a cash execution, calculated as of the end of the

such month, plus (iii) interest on the Note (or Discount, if
applicable, and if necessary as estimated by Lender) through the
end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline occurs, if
necessary as reasonably estimated by Lender, plus (iv) costs,
expenses and fees of Lender pertaining to the substitution (the

Substitution of the last remaining asset is taking place, the cash
collateral or Letter of Credit must include, (A) any yield
maintenance that would be due to the extent that the Fixed Advance
must be prepaid to effect a Release at that time, (B) any Discount
that would be due for any Variable DMBS Advance, as applicable, if
necessary as reasonably estimated by Lender and (C) any fee
maintenance that would be due to the extent that the Variable

cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Lender and Fannie Mae, including any out-of-pocket legal fees and
expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such
substitution whether such substitution actually closes. In the
event that the Borrower elects to post a Letter of Credit in lieu
of cash for the Substitution Deposit, Borrower shall also be
obligated to make any regularly scheduled payments of principal and
interest due under the applicable Note during any period between
the closing of the Release Mortgaged Property and the earlier of
the closing of the Substitute Mortgaged Property and the date of
prepayment of the Note, or the applicable DMBS.
15
(c) Failure to Close Substitution .
If the substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property
does not occur by the Property Delivery Deadline in accordance with
Section 3.06(c)(ii) , then such Borrower shall have
irrevocably waived its right to substitute such Release Mortgaged
Property with the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property, and the
release of the Release Mortgaged Property shall be deemed a
prepayment of the Note and the DMBS, if applicable. The Property
Delivery Deadline shall be no later than the date ninety
(90) days (or one hundred eighty (180) days, if
applicable) after the date the Lender’s lien on such Release
Mortgaged Property is released. Any DMBS being prepaid shall be
deemed to be prepaid as of the end of the month in which the
Property Delivery Deadline falls, and the Lender, shall follow
standard Fannie Mae procedures for the prepayment of the Note, or
any applicable DMBS, including delivery of the Substitution Deposit
(less the Substitution Cost Deposit) to Fannie Mae in accordance
with such procedures. Any portion of the Substitution Deposit not
needed to prepay the Note, or any applicable DMBS, all interest,
and any prepayment fees (including any portion of the Substitution
Cost Deposit not used by Lender to cover all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae,
including any out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by

including any out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by
Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such substitution)

Coverage and LTV Tests are not met when required to be satisfied by
the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall have the option of
either (A) providing to Lender a Letter of Credit which shall
either have a term equal to the Term of this Agreement or shall
have a term of at least 364 days and provide for a drawing
30 days prior to its date of termination in the event it is
not renewed; (B) depositing cash or Cash Equivalents to the
Cash Collateral Account; (C) adding an Additional Mortgaged
Property to the Collateral Pool in a manner which meets the
requirements of Article 3 but which Additional Mortgaged
Property is to be encumbered solely by a Security Instrument in
favor of Lender securing all of the Obligations (any of the above
constituting “ Additional Collateral ”); or
(D) to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents,
prepaying in part or in whole the outstanding principal amount of
Advances designated by Lender, in each case in an amount or, in
relation to an Additional Mortgaged Property, with value equal to
that amount which Lender determines will cause the Coverage and LTV
Tests to be satisfied. For purposes of making such calculation,
Lender shall deduct the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents
deposited to the Cash Collateral Account or the amount available
under the Letter of Credit from the outstanding principal balance
of all Advances (the “ Assumed Mortgage Principal
Amount ”) and (i) calculate the interest component
of debt service based on such Assumed Mortgage Principal Amount and
(ii) calculate the principal component of debt service by
multiplying the actual amount of principal times a fraction with a
numerator equal to the Assumed Mortgage Principal Amount and a
denominator equal to the actual outstanding principal amount of all
of the Advances. In the event such Borrower exercises either of the
options set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of this
paragraph, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Cash Collateral
Agreement. Lender shall agree at the request of Borrower to
exchange one type of Additional Collateral for another type of
Additional Collateral provided such other type of Additional
Collateral is of equivalent value and which meets the requirements
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the
contrary, except for any Substitution Deposit delivered in
accordance with Section 3.07 (the amount and application of
which shall be determined in accordance with said
Section 3.07), (i) the value of any Additional Collateral
delivered pursuant to this Section 6.13 (other than
Substitution Deposits) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the
aggregate Valuation of all Mortgaged Properties in the Collateral
Pool, and (ii) in the event the Coverage and LTV Tests
(without regard to the Additional Collateral) are not satisfied
within one year after delivery of the Additional Collateral,
Borrower shall be required to prepay the Advances Outstanding in an
amount determined by Lender to cause the Coverage and LTV Tests to
be satisfied, and the Lender may draw on such Additional Collateral
and use the monies to make such prepayment. Any Advances required
to be prepaid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be selected
by the Borrower and, in addition to the prepayment of the related
Notes, Borrower shall pay all associated prepayment premiums and
other amounts due under the Notes being prepaid.

Credit.

of the long-term or short term debt obligations of the LOC Bank

of Credit with a replacement Letter of Credit which satisfies the
requirements of this Agreement and does not deliver such
replacement Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days of such
downgrading.
(c) Deposit to Cash Collateral
Agreement . If Lender draws under the Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 6.15(b)(ii) or (iii) above, Lender shall
deposit such draw monies into the Cash Collateral Account, pursuant
to the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement.

under the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.15(b)(i) above,
Lender shall have the right to use monies drawn under the Letter of
Credit for any of the following purposes:
(i) to pay any amounts required to be paid
by Borrower under the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, any amounts required to be paid to Lender under this
Agreement);
(ii) to (on such Borrower’s behalf,
or on its own behalf if Lender becomes the owner of the Mortgaged
Property) prepay any Note;
(iii) to make improvements or repairs to
any Mortgaged Property which Lender determines are necessary to
ensure that the Mortgaged Property meets the requirements set forth
in the Loan Documents; or
(iv) to
