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.

RECITALS

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:

ARTICLE 1
THE COMMITMENT

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.

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


 

(c) Prepayment .

(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.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Variable Facility Notes, the Indebtedness extended to Borrowers hereunder through Variable Advances is prepayable in whole or in part at any time pursuant to the fee maintenance provisions of the Variable Facility Notes.

Section 1.04. Interest on Advances .

(a)  Partial Month Interest . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.04 , if an Advance is not made on the first day of a calendar month, and, with respect to a Variable DMBS Advance, the DMBS Issue Date is the first day of the month following the month in which the Advance is made, Borrower shall pay interest on the original stated principal amount of the Advance for the partial month period commencing on the Closing Date for the Advance and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs. Borrower shall pay interest for such partial month on any (i) Variable DMBS Advance at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) the Coupon Rate as determined in accordance with Section 1.05 and (2) a rate determined by Lender, based on Lender’s cost of funds and approved at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Advance, in writing, by Borrower, (ii) Variable Structured ARM Advance at a rate per annum equal to a rate determined by Lender based on Lender’s cost of funds and approved at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Advance in writing by Borrower; and (iii) Fixed Advance at a rate, per annum equal to the greater of (1) the interest rate described in subsection (d)(i) of this Section 1.04 and (2) a rate determined by Lender, based on Lender’s cost of funds, and approved at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Advance, in writing, by Borrower.

(b) Variable DMBS Advances .

(i)  Discount . Each Variable DMBS Advance shall be a discount loan. The original stated principal amount of a Variable DMBS Advance shall be the sum of the Price and the Discount. The Price and Discount of each Variable DMBS Advance shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.01 . The proceeds of the Variable DMBS Advance made available by Lender to Borrower will equal the Price. Borrower shall pay to Lender, in advance of Lender making the initial Variable DMBS Advance requested by Borrower, the entire Discount for the Variable DMBS Advance. With respect to any subsequent Variable DMBS Advances, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Discount for the Variable DMBS Advance in monthly installments. Each monthly installment shall be equal to the product of (1) a fraction with one as the numerator and the number of months in the term of the applicable DMBS as the denominator, multiplied by (2) the Discount calculated on the applicable 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 installments shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first day of the second full calendar month following the DMBS Issue Date, to the first day of the month prior to the maturity date of such DMBS.

 

4


 

(ii)  Variable Facility Fee . In addition to paying the Discount and the partial month interest, if any, Borrower shall pay monthly installments of the Variable Facility Fee to Lender for each Variable DMBS Advance Outstanding from the applicable DMBS Issue Date to its maturity date. The Variable Facility Fee shall be payable in advance, in accordance with the terms of the Variable Facility Note. The first installment shall be payable on or prior to the Closing Date for the Variable DMBS Advance and shall apply to the first full calendar month of the DMBS issued in connection with such Variable DMBS Advance. Subsequent installments shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first day of the second full calendar month of such DMBS, to its maturity date.
