MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of July 3, 2012, by and among (i) (a) CANYON CREEK OWNER LLC, (b) DESERT FLOWER OWNER LLC, (c) ORCHARD PARK OWNER LLC, (d) REGENT COURT OWNER LLC, (e) SHELDON PARK OWNER LLC, (f) SUN OAK OWNER LLC, (g) SUNSHINE VILLA OWNER LLC, (h) WILLOW PARK OWNER LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, and (i) such Additional Borrowers as may from time to time become borrowers under this Agreement (individually and collectively, Borrower); (ii) (a) PROPCO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and (b) TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (individually and together, Guarantor); and (iii) OAK GROVE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Lender).
RECITALS:
A. Borrower owns one (1) or more Seniors Housing Facilities (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 Credit Facility in the original principal amount of $88,400,000 in favor of Borrower, comprised initially of a $23,400,000 Variable Facility, 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 a $65,000,000 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) certain Seniors Housing Facilities owned by Borrower and (ii) any other collateral pledged to Lender from time to time by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. As of the Initial Closing Date, the Collateral Pool shall consist of the Mortgaged Properties listed on Exhibit A.
D. Each Note and Security Document shall be cross-defaulted (i.e., a default under any Note, Security Document, or under this Agreement, shall constitute a default under each other Note, Security Document, and this Agreement) and cross-collateralized (i.e., each Security Instrument shall secure all of Borrowers obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that Lender may accelerate any Note without the obligation, but with the right 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 and remedies in and under the Loan Documents with regard to any Mortgaged Property without the obligation, but with the right 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 to the Obligations as determined by Lender.
1
E. Guarantor has an economic interest in Borrower or will otherwise obtain a material financial benefit from the Credit Facility.
F. 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. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more Variable Advances to Borrower on the Initial Closing Date in the aggregate amount of the Variable Facility Commitment in effect on the Initial Closing Date. Subject to the availability of Future Advances pursuant to Section 2.05 and Article 3 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may agree to make one or more additional Variable Advances to Borrower. At such time that any additional Variable Advance may be made, the Variable Facility Commitment shall be increased by such Variable Advance amount. The aggregate principal balance of the Variable Advances Outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Variable Facility Commitment. The repayment in full of a Variable Advance shall permanently reduce the Variable Facility Commitment by the original principal amount of such Variable Advance. The repayment in part of a Variable Advance shall permanently reduce the Variable Facility Commitment by such repaid amount. Borrower may not re-borrow any part of any Variable Advance that it has previously borrowed and repaid. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Borrower may convert all or part of any Variable Advance to a Fixed Advance.
(b) Fixed Facility Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more Fixed Advances to Borrower on the Initial Closing Date in the aggregate amount of the Fixed Facility Commitment in effect on the Initial Closing Date. Subject to the availability of Future Advances pursuant to Section 2.05 and Article 3 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may agree to make one or more additional Fixed Advances to Borrower from time. At such time that any additional Fixed Advance may be made, the Fixed Facility Commitment shall be increased by such Fixed Advance amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Advances Outstanding shall not exceed the Fixed Facility Commitment. The repayment in full of a Fixed Advance shall permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by the original principal amount of such Fixed Advance. The repayment in part of a Fixed Advance shall permanently reduce the Fixed Facility Commitment by such repaid amount. Borrower may not re-borrow any part of any Fixed Advance which it has previously borrowed and repaid.
2
Section 1.02. Requests for Advances.
Borrower shall request an Advance by giving Lender an Advance Request. The Advance Request shall indicate whether the Request is for a Fixed Advance, a Variable Advance, or both.
Section 1.03. Maturity Date of Advances; Prepayment.
(a) Maturity Date of Variable Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.10, the maturity date of each Variable Advance shall be specified in the Advance Request by Borrower for such Variable Advance, provided that such maturity date shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Variable Advance, and no later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date ten (10) years after the Closing Date of such Advance, provided no maturity date shall be later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date. The term of the Variable Advance made on the Initial Closing Date shall be seven (7) years.
(b) Maturity Date of Fixed Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.10, the maturity date of each Fixed Advance shall be specified by Borrower in the Advance Request for such Fixed Advance, provided that such maturity date shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Fixed Advance and no later than the first day of the month following the date ten (10) years after the Closing Date of such Fixed Advance, provided no maturity date shall be later than the date that is the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date. The term of the Fixed Advance made on the Initial Closing Date shall be seven (7) years.
(c) Prepayment of Advances. Borrower may prepay all or a portion of any Advance pursuant to the prepayment provisions of the applicable Note and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Any repaid Advances shall automatically result in a permanent reduction of the Commitment.
Section 1.04. Interest on Advances.
(a) Partial Month Interest. If a Fixed Advance or Variable Advance is not made on the first day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay interest on the original stated principal amount of such Advance for the partial month period commencing on the Closing Date for such 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 such Advance at a rate per annum equal to interest rate described in the applicable Note.
3
(b) Interest on Advances. Each Advance shall bear interest at a rate, per annum, as set forth in the applicable Note.
Section 1.05. Notes.
The obligation of Borrower to repay each Advance shall be evidenced by a separate Fixed Facility Note or Variable Facility Note. Each Note shall be payable to the order of Lender and shall be made in the original principal amount of such Advance.
Section 1.06. Conversion of Variable Advances to Fixed Advances.
(a) Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 1.10 below, Borrower shall have the right, from time to time during the Conversion Availability Period, to convert all or any portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances (a Conversion). The Variable Facility Commitment shall be reduced by, and the Fixed Facility Commitment shall be increased by, such converted amount. No prepayment premiums shall be due in connection with such Conversion except in connection with a prepayment as provided in Section 1.07(c).
(b) Request. To convert all or a portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances, Borrower shall deliver a Conversion Request to Lender.
Section 1.07. Conditions and Limitations on Right to Convert Advances.
Borrowers right to convert all or a portion of a Variable Advance to one (1) or more Fixed Advances is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 1.10 and the following limitations:
(a) Minimum Request. Each Conversion Request shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000, or any lesser amount of the Variable Advances then Outstanding.
(b) Compliance with Coverage and LTV Tests. Immediately after the proposed Conversion, the Coverage and LTV Tests shall be satisfied.
(c) Failure to Underwrite. In the event that the Coverage and LTV Tests would not be satisfied after the proposed Conversion, if Borrower continues to elect the Conversion, Borrower shall prepay a portion of the Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 3.04(e) to meet the Coverage and LTV Tests and shall pay all prepayment premiums and other fees associated with such prepayment.
(d) Maturity Date of Converted Advances. Upon Conversion, such Advance shall have a maturity date elected by Borrower that shall be no earlier than the date that is the first day of the month following the date five (5) years after the Closing Date of such Conversion, and subject to Section 1.03(b), not later than the first day of the month following the date fifteen (15) years after the Initial Closing Date.
4
(e) General Conditions. Satisfaction of all applicable General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 and Section 5.07 on or before the Closing Date.
(f) Closing. The Closing Date shall occur during the Conversion Availability Period on a Rate Change Date. The Closing Date of a Conversion shall not be earlier than thirty (30) Business Days after Lenders receipt of the Conversion Request (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree). Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, the Conversion Documents to be effective as of the Closing Date.
Section 1.08. Interest Rate for Converted Advance.
The interest rate for any converted Advance shall be determined pursuant to the terms of Section 2.01 of this Agreement. The Margin applicable to the converted Advance shall be determined by Lender prior to such Conversion; provided that (a) with respect to an Advance converted within five (5) years of the original closing of such Variable Advance, the portion of the Margin comprising the Fixed Facility Fee for such converted Advance shall equal the Variable Facility Fee in effect at the original closing of such Variable Advance, and (b) with respect to an Advance converted after five (5) years of the original closing of such Variable Advance, the portion of the Margin comprising the Fixed Facility Fee for such converted Advance shall be mutually agreed to by Lender and Borrower.
Section 1.09. Interest Rate Protection.
(a) If required by Lender at the time of any Advance, to protect against fluctuations in interest rates during the term of this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Cap Security Agreement, Borrower shall make arrangements for a LIBOR-based interest rate cap in form and substance satisfactory to Lender with a counterparty satisfactory to Lender (Interest Rate Cap) to be in place and maintained at all times with respect to any Variable Advance that has been funded and remains Outstanding. The seller of the Interest Rate Cap (seller and its transferees and assigns, the Counterparty) shall be a financial institution meeting the minimum requirements for hedge counterparties acceptable to Lender. The Interest Rate Cap shall have a minimum initial term of four (4) years. Borrower shall be required to make Monthly Deposits (as defined in the Cap Security Agreement) to be held in an Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account (as defined in the Cap Security Agreement). As set forth in the Cap Security Agreement, Borrower agrees to pledge its right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap to Lender as additional collateral for the Obligations.
Section 1.10. Limitations on Executions.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Future Advance, whether a Variable Advance or a Fixed Advance, and any Conversion of an Advance shall be subject to the precondition that Lender must confirm with Fannie Mae that Fannie Mae is generally offering to purchase in the marketplace advances of the execution type requested by Borrower at the time of the request and at the time of the Rate Setting Date for the requested Advance. In the event Fannie Mae is not purchasing advances of the type requested by
5
Borrower, Lender agrees to offer, to the extent available from Fannie Mae, alternative advance executions based on the types of executions Fannie Mae is generally offering to purchase in the marketplace at that time. Any alternative execution offered would be subject to mutually agreeable documentation necessary to implement the terms and conditions of such alternative execution.
ARTICLE 2
THE ADVANCES
Section 2.01. Rate Setting for an Advance.
Rates for an Advance (whether drawn or converted) shall be set in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Preliminary, Nonbinding Quote. At Borrowers request Lender shall quote an estimate of the interest rate for such proposed Advance. Lenders quote shall be based on (i) a solicitation of bids from institutional investors selected by Lender, and (ii) the proposed terms and amount of the Advance selected by Borrower. The quote shall not be binding upon Lender.
(b) Rate Setting. If Borrower substantially satisfies all of the conditions to Lenders obligation to make an Advance (or convert a Note, as applicable), then Borrower may request that Lender submit to Borrower a completed draft Rate Form. The draft Rate Form shall specify the proposed maximum interest rate for such Advance (Maximum Annual Interest Rate) and other terms set forth therein including, without limitation, the Fixed Facility Fee or the Variable Facility Fee, as applicable. If the draft Rate Form is approved by Borrower, Borrower shall execute and return the approved Rate Form to Lender before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Savings Time, as applicable, on any Business Day (Rate Setting Date).
(c) Rate Confirmation. Within one (1) Business Day after receipt of the Rate Form and upon satisfaction of substantially all of the conditions to Lenders obligation to make such Advance (or for Conversion, as applicable), Lender shall solicit bids from institutional investors selected by Lender based on the information in the Rate Form. If Lender obtains a commitment (Funding Commitment) on terms equivalent to (or better than) the terms in the draft Rate Form, Lender shall then complete and countersign the Rate Form thereby confirming the terms set forth therein, and shall immediately deliver the confirmed Rate Form to Borrower. The interest rate for such Advance, as set forth in the confirmed Rate Form, shall be the most favorable bid, not to exceed the Maximum Annual Interest Rate.
Section 2.02. Breakage and Other Costs.
If Lender obtains, and then fails to fulfill the Funding Commitment because the Advance is not made (or the Conversion does not occur, as applicable) (for a reason other than Lenders default unless Lenders default results from or is on account of a default by Borrower), Borrower shall pay all reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs payable to the potential investor and other reasonable costs, fees and actual damages incurred by Lender in connection with such failure to fulfill the Funding Commitment. Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to post a deposit at the time the Funding Commitment is obtained. Such deposit shall be refunded to Borrower upon the settlement of the related MBS or purchase of the Note by Fannie Mae, as applicable. For any Funding Commitment entered into after the Initial Closing Date, Borrowers obligations under the Funding Commitment shall be secured by each Mortgaged Property.
6
Section 2.03. Advances.
(a) Initial Advance. In connection with the Initial Advance, if all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 and the General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 are satisfied on or before the Initial Closing Date, Lender shall make the Initial Advance on the Initial Closing Date.
(b) Future Advance. Subject to Lenders consent to the making of a Future Advance pursuant to the terms of Section 1.10 and Section 2.05, Borrower may submit an Advance Request for a Future Advance in the minimum amount of $5,000,000. If all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.03 and Section 3.02 (if such Future Advance is being made in connection with an addition of Mortgaged Property) and the General Conditions contained in Section 5.01 are satisfied, and Lender has approved an increase in the Commitment pursuant to Section 1.10 and Section 2.05, Lender shall make the Future Advance, at a closing to be held at offices reasonably designated by Lender on a Closing Date reasonably agreed to by Lender and Borrower, which date shall not be more than three (3) Business Days after Borrowers receipt from Lender of the confirmed Rate Form (or on such other date as Borrower and Lender may agree).
Section 2.04. Determination of Allocable Facility Amount and Valuations.
(a) Initial Determinations. On the 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, and (iii) the Initial Advance Amount and the initial Commitment amount. 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 2.04(b).
(b) Subsequent Monitoring Determinations.
(i) 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 and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio. On the First Anniversary and on an annual basis thereafter, and if Lender decides that changed market or property conditions warrant, Lender shall redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations. After the First Anniversary, Lender shall also redetermine Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations before and after a Collateral Event and to take account of any Collateral Event or other event that invalidates the outstanding determinations. Upon receipt by Borrower of any such new determinations by Lender, Borrower shall promptly acknowledge such receipt.
(ii) Lender shall promptly disclose its determinations to Borrower. Until redetermined, the outstanding Allocable Facility Amounts and Valuations shall remain in effect.
7
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 result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.
Section 2.05. Additional Financing; Future Advances Made on Decreases in Loan to Value Ratios and Increases in Debt Service Coverage Ratios.
(a) Subject to Section 1.10 and satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 5.01 and Section 5.03, Borrower may request an increase in the Commitment in order to draw additional financing with a fixed or variable interest rate (each such loan, a Future Advance). Any such Future Advance shall be subject to the Underwriting and Servicing Requirements. The Variable Facility Commitment and/or the Fixed Facility Commitment, as applicable, shall be increased by the amount of any Future Advance made by Lender. The maximum amount of any Future Advance shall be equal to or less than (x) the amount determined by the definition of Advance Amount and (y) the amount, when combined with Advances Outstanding, equal to or less than the maximum amount of Advances that could be Outstanding based on the Coverage and LTV Tests. Once made, any Future Advance hereunder shall be subject to this Agreement in all respects and shall be secured by the Security Instruments encumbering the Mortgaged Properties. Subject to the terms of Section 2.05(b) below, a Future Advance may be permitted with or without the addition of an Additional Mortgaged Property.

Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of Article 3 and Article 5, Borrower shall have the right during the period beginning on the First Anniversary and ending on the date twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date to obtain the Release of one or more Release Mortgaged Properties from the Collateral Pool by replacing such Release Mortgaged Property with one (1) or more additional Mortgaged Properties that meet the requirements of this Agreement (the Substitute Mortgaged Property) thereby effecting a Substitution of Collateral.
(b) Request. Borrower shall simultaneously deliver to Lender both a completed and executed Addition Request (unless a Substitute Mortgaged Property has not been identified by Borrower, in which case Borrower shall submit a Request that indicates a Substitute Mortgaged Property is undetermined, and not less than sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the date on which Borrower desires to add such Substitute Mortgaged Property, but not later than sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the Property Delivery Deadline (defined hereinafter) shall submit a supplemental Addition Request that identifies the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property) and Release Request (together, the Substitution Request). Each Substitution Request shall be accompanied by the following: (i) the information required by the Underwriting and Servicing Requirements with respect to the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property and any additional information Lender reasonably requests; and (ii) the payment of all Additional Collateral Due Diligence Fees.
12

Lender shall determine the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Loan to Value Ratio of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property and the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio applicable to the Collateral Pool. The Loan to Value Ratio and Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio, shall be determined on the basis of the lesser of (A) the acquisition price of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property if purchased by Borrower in an arms-length transaction within twelve (12) months of the related Substitution Request, and (B) a Valuation made with respect to the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property.
(ii) A Substitution shall be permitted provided that all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(A)(1) the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the proposed Collateral Pool immediately following the Substitution will be less than or equal to the lesser of (a) sixty percent (60%) and (b) the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately prior to the Substitution; and
(2) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the proposed Collateral Pool immediately following the Substitution will be greater than or equal to the greater of (a) 1.55:1.0 for the portion of the Advances drawn from the Fixed Facility Commitment and 1.35:1.0 for the portion of the Advances drawn from the Variable Facility Commitment and (b) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately prior to the Substitution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the tests identified in clauses (c)(ii)(A)(1) and (2) above are not satisfied, such Substitution shall be permitted provided that the Alternate Coverage and LTV Tests are met after giving effect to the Substitution and all other conditions in this Section 3.05 are met.
(B) as of the Closing Date, the Substitute Mortgaged Property shall be leased to an Operator pursuant to the Operating Lease and subject to a Management Agreement with a Manager; and
(C) all conditions precedent contained in this Section 3.05 and Section 5.01, Section 5.05 and Section 5.06 are satisfied.
(iii) After receipt of (1) the Substitution Request and (2) all reports, certificates and documents required to determine compliance with this Agreement, Lender shall notify Borrower whether the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property meets the requirements of Section 3.05(c)(ii) for a Substitution. If the proposed Substitution meets the conditions set forth
13
in this Agreement, Lender shall calculate the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio that Lender estimates shall result from the proposed Substitution. After receipt of Lenders written confirmation that the proposed Substitution will satisfy the conditions precedent of Section 3.05(c)(ii), Borrower shall notify Lender in writing whether it elects to add the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool.
(iv) Borrower may substitute one or more Mortgaged Properties that have Allocable Facility Amounts greater than the Allocable Facility Amount of the Release Mortgaged Property. Borrower may substitute one or more Substitute Mortgaged Properties that have an aggregate Allocable Facility Amount that is less than the Allocable Facility Amount of the Release Mortgaged Property, provided that if Borrower advises Lender that no further property will be substituted or the Property Delivery Deadline has elapsed, then Borrower shall promptly pay the Release Price applicable to such Release Mortgaged Property after taking into account the Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) to be added to the Collateral Pool, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premiums that are payable in connection such prepayment amount.
(d) Closing. If the Substitution and the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property satisfies all the conditions set forth in this Section 3.05, and Borrower timely elects to cause such Substitution to occur, then the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) shall be substituted into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Release Mortgaged Property, at a closing to be held at offices designated by Lender on a Closing Date agreed to by Lender and Borrower, and occurring
(i) if the Substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) is to occur simultaneously with the release of the proposed Release Mortgaged Property, within sixty (60) days after Lenders receipt of Borrowers Substitution Request (or on such other date to which Borrower and Lender may agree); or
(ii) if the Substitution of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property(ies) is to occur subsequent to the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property (a Staggered Substitution), within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the release of such Release Mortgaged Property (provided such date shall be extended an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower provides reasonable evidence of Borrowers diligent efforts in finding a suitable proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property) (the Property Delivery Deadline).
(e) Substitution Deposit.
(i) The Deposit. If a Substitution is a Staggered Substitution, on or before the Closing Date of the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Substitution Deposit described below in the form of cash in a non-interest bearing account held by Lender as additional Collateral. In lieu of (or in partial satisfaction of) depositing cash for the Substitution Deposit, Borrower may post a Letter of Credit as additional Collateral issued by a financial institution acceptable to Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 5.11 of this Agreement, with a face amount available to be drawn equal to the Substitution Deposit (less any amount that has been deposited in cash).
14
(ii) Substitution Deposit Amount.
(A) The Substitution Deposit for each proposed Staggered Substitution shall be an amount equal to the sum of:
(1) the Release Price relating to the Release Mortgaged Property, plus
(2) any and all of the yield maintenance, fee maintenance or the prepayment premium, as applicable, for the Selected Note that shall be prepaid if the Substitution fails to take place, calculated as of the end of the month in which the Property Delivery Deadline occurs, as if the Selected Note were to be prepaid in such month; plus
(3) a deposit of $6,000 per Substitute Mortgaged Property to be applied towards the estimated third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses and fees of Lender pertaining to the Substitution (the Substitution Cost Deposit); plus
(4) without duplication to any other amounts included in this definition of Substitution Deposit, in the event that (a) at the time of the Release no Note is prepayable (i.e. all Notes are subject to a lockout period) or (b) the Release Price is in excess of all Notes that are open to prepayment, all scheduled principal and interest due and owing through the end of the lockout period with respect to such Selected Note.
(B) The Substitution Cost Deposit shall be used by Lender to cover all reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae, including legal fees and expenses incurred by Fannie Mae and Lender in connection with such Substitution whether such Substitution actually closes (the Substitution Costs). On or prior to the Closing Date of the Substitution, Lender shall notify Borrower of the actual amount of the Substitution Costs incurred by Lender and Fannie Mae in connection with the Substitution and Borrower shall, on or before the Substitution Closing Date, pay to Lender the remainder of such Substitution Costs (if the actual amount of the Substitution Costs exceed the Substitution Cost Deposit and the other amounts previously deposited with Lender by Borrower) or Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Substitution Cost Deposit deposited with Lender by Borrower in excess of the Substitution Costs (if the actual amount of the Substitution Costs is less than the Substitution Cost Deposit deposited with Lender by Borrower).
(C) With respect to the Substitution Deposit, in determining which Notes shall be prepaid, the order of application shall be governed by Section 3.04(e).
(iii) Failure to Close Substitution. If the addition of the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property does not occur by the Property Delivery Deadline in accordance with Section 3.05(d)(ii), then Borrower shall have irrevocably waived its right to substitute such Release Mortgaged Property with the proposed Substitute Mortgaged Property, and the release of
15
the Release Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to be a Release pursuant to Section 3.04 and shall trigger a prepayment of the Release Price, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premium then due in connection with such payment. In such event, Borrower shall pay Lender all amounts that would be payable under Section 3.04 upon such a Release and prepayment, and such payment shall be applied in the manner prescribed for Release Prices pursuant to Section 3.04(e). The Substitution Deposit shall be applied by Lender in payment of the Release Price, together with all yield maintenance, fee maintenance or prepayment premium then due in connection with such payment. Any portion of the Substitution Deposit not needed to make such payment shall be promptly refunded to Borrower after the Property Delivery Deadline.
(iv) Substitution Deposit Disbursement. At closing of the Substitution, Lender shall disburse or return the Substitution Deposit, as applicable (less any portion of the Substitution Costs), directly to Borrower at such time as the conditions precedent in Section 3.05, Section 5.01, Section 5.05 and Section 5.06 for the Substitution have been satisfied, which must occur no later than the Property Delivery Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower adds a Substitute Property to the Collateral Pool prior to the Property Delivery Deadline but the addition of such Substitute Mortgaged Property has not in and of itself satisfied the requirements of Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A), the Substitution Deposit shall be reduced by the Allocable Facility Amount for such Substitute Mortgaged Property, and such reduction in the Substitution Deposit shall be returned to Borrower, or in the case of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be reduced by such reduction in the Substitution Deposit. If Borrower has not satisfied the requirements to close the Substitution by the Property Delivery Deadline, the terms of Section 3.05(e)(iii) shall apply with respect to the remaining Substitution Deposit.
(f) Conditions Precedent to Substitutions. The obligation of Lender to make a requested Substitution is also subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent for additions of Substitute Mortgaged Properties and Releases of Release Mortgaged Properties set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.06 of this Agreement.
(g) Restriction on Borrowings. If the addition of the Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool and the release of the Release Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool do not occur simultaneously then, until the addition of the Substitute Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool, no Future Advances or other Requests (other than a Credit Facility Termination Request, which shall be permitted subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Article 4, and other than a Conversion pursuant to a Conversion Request, which shall be permitted subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 1.07; provided, however, with respect to any Conversion, the Substitution Deposit shall be recalculated based on the provisions in this Section 3.05 and Borrower shall deposit with Lender as additional Collateral all increases, if any, in such Substitution Deposit within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the same) will be permitted unless and until the provisions of Section 3.05(e)(iii) are satisfied.
(h) Additional Requirement for Staggered Substitutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Staggered Substitution shall be permitted unless the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio of the Collateral Pool immediately after the Release of the Release Mortgaged Property is less than or equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). For the purposes of the foregoing requirement, neither the value of the Substitution Deposit nor the value of any undelivered Substitute Mortgaged Property shall be taken into account.

The Waiving Borrower further waives any and all rights and defenses that it may have because the Other Borrower Secured Obligation is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that: (A) Lender may collect from the Waiving Borrower without first
59
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrower; (B) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the other Borrower, then (C) the amount of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (D) Lender may foreclose on the real property encumbered by the Security Instrument executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral of the Other Borrower, has destroyed any right the Waiving Borrower may have to collect from the Other Borrower. Subject to the last sentence of Section 14.03, the foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Waiving Borrower may have because the Other Borrower Secured Obligation is secured by real property. These rights and defenses being waived by the Waiving Borrower include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, the Waiving Borrower further expressly waives, except as provided in Section 14.04(g) below, to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.
(c) The Waiving Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so the Security Instrument executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation shall be and remain in full force and effect even if the other Borrower had no liability at the time of incurring the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, or thereafter ceases to be liable. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so the Waiving Borrowers liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of the other Borrower. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of any of its waivers, and agrees that the Waiving Borrowers waivers shall not be affected by any circumstances, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. The Waiving Borrower hereby waives the benefits of any right of discharge and all other rights under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lenders rights against the Waiving Borrower hereunder, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents evidencing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, notice of the incurring by the other Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness and all rights to require Lender to (i) proceed against the other Borrower, (ii) proceed against any general partner or managing member of the other Borrower, (iii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, or (iv) if the other Borrower is a partnership, pursue any other remedy it may have against the other Borrower, or any general partner of the other Borrower, including any and all benefits under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850.
60
(d) The Waiving Borrower understands that the exercise by Lender of certain rights and remedies contained in a Security Instrument executed by the other Borrower (such as a nonjudicial foreclosure sale) may affect or eliminate the Waiving Borrowers right of subrogation against the other Borrower and that the Waiving Borrower may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimburseable liability. Nevertheless, the Waiving Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any right or remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of the Waiving Borrower that its waivers shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
(e) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, the Waiving Borrower also waives any right or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, even though such election (e.g., nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any collateral held by Lender to secure repayment of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation) destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of the Waiving Borrower to any right to proceed against the other Borrower for reimbursement, or both, by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(f) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, the Waiving Borrower waives any and all other rights and defenses available to the Waiving Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including any and all rights or defenses the Waiving Borrower may have by reason of protection afforded to the other Borrower with respect to the Other Borrower Secured Obligation pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, including Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(g) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code and pursuant to any other Applicable Law, the Waiving Borrower agrees to withhold the exercise of any and all subrogation, contribution and reimbursement rights against the other Borrower, against any other person, and against any collateral or security for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, including any such rights pursuant to Sections 2847 and 2848 of the California Civil Code, until the Other Borrower Secured Obligation has been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, all obligations owed to Lender under the Loan Documents have been fully performed, and Lender has released, transferred or disposed of all of their right, title and interest in such collateral or security.
(h) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that in the event that, notwithstanding Section 14.04(g) hereof, to the extent its agreement and waiver set forth in Section 14.04(g) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason and such Borrower has any subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower, any such claims, direct or indirect, that such Borrower may have by subrogation rights or other form of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, against any other Borrower or to any security or any such Borrower, shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations. Until payment and performance in full with interest
61
(including post-petition interest in any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Obligations, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of Indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of any such subrogation rights arising by virtue of payments made pursuant to this Article 14, and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of any such subrogation rights shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender, and any amount so collected should be turned over to Lender for application to the Obligations.
(i) At any time without notice to the Waiving Borrower, and without affecting or prejudicing the right of Lender to proceed against the Collateral described in any Loan Document executed by the Waiving Borrower and securing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, (i) the time for payment of the principal of or interest on, or the performance of, the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be extended or the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be renewed in whole or in part; (ii) the time for the other Borrowers performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents evidencing the Other Borrower Secured Obligation, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived; (iii) the maturity of the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be accelerated as provided in the related Note or any other related Loan Document; (iv) the related Note or any other related Loan Document may be modified or amended by Lender and the other Borrower in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount; and (v) any security for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation may be modified, exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Other Borrower Secured Obligation.
(j) It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that all of the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents and that but for the provisions of this Section 14.04 and such waivers Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.
Section 14.05. Joint and Several Obligation; Cross-Guaranty.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.05 and the provisions of Section 14.01 and Section 14.12), each Borrower shall have joint and several liability for all Obligations. Notwithstanding the intent of all of the parties to this Agreement that all Obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower, each Borrower, on a joint and several basis, hereby irrevocably guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower. Subject to Section 14.01, each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction, cross- claim or defense based upon any claim any Borrower may have against Lender or any other Borrower.
62
Section 14.06. No Impairment.
Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Article 14 are for the benefit of Lender and their successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Section 14.07. Election of Remedies.
(a) Lender, in its discretion, may (i) bring suit against any one or more Borrower, jointly and severally, without any requirement that Lender first proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person; (ii) compromise or settle with any one or more Borrower, or any other Person, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper; (iii) release one or more Borrower, or any other Person, from liability; and (iv) otherwise deal with any Borrower and any other Person, or any one or more of them, in any manner, or resort to any of the Collateral at any time held by it for performance of the Obligations or any other source or means of obtaining payment of the Obligations, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from any Borrower any amount guaranteed by any Borrower under this Article 14.
(b) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its rights to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to election of remedies or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss or any rights of subrogation which each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrowers obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustees sale or at any private sale permitted by law or any of the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Article 14, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
Section 14.08. Subordination of Other Obligations.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all amounts payable from time to time to such Borrower by any other Borrower pursuant to any agreement, whether secured or unsecured, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, other than the amounts
63
referred to in this Article 14 (collectively, the Subordinated Obligations), shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are, hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations; provided, however, that payments may be received by any Borrower in accordance with, and only in accordance with, the provisions of Section 14.08(b) hereof.
(b) Until the Obligations under all the Loan Documents have been finally paid in full or fully performed and all the Loan Documents have been terminated, each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive, directly or indirectly, by set-off, redemption, purchase or in any other manner whatsoever, any payment with respect to, or any security or guaranty for, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, and in issuing documents, instruments or agreements of any kind evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not receive any payment of any kind on account of the Subordinated Obligations, so long as any of the Obligations under all the Loan Documents are Outstanding or any of the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents are in effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or both has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, then (i) payments may be received by such Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with the stated terms thereof, and (ii) each Borrower and Guarantor shall be permitted to make distributions in accordance with the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents. Except as aforesaid, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Fannie Mae, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of Subordinated Obligations shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender, and any amount so collected shall be turned over to Lender upon demand.
Section 14.09. Insolvency and Liability of Other Borrower.
So long as any of the Obligations are Outstanding, if a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against any Borrower (the Subject Borrower for the purposes of Section 14.09, Section 14.10, Section 14.11 and Section 14.12 of this Agreement), each other Borrower (each, an Other Borrower for the purposes of Section 14.09, Section 14.10, Section 14.11 and Section 14.12 of this Agreement) agrees to file all claims against the Subject Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in connection with indebtedness owed by the Subject Borrower and to assign to Lender all rights thereunder up to the amount of such indebtedness. In all such cases, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claims shall pay to Lender the full amount thereof and Lender agrees to pay such Other Borrower any amounts received in excess of the amount necessary to pay the Obligations. Each Other Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all of such Borrowers rights to all such payments to which such Other Borrower would otherwise be entitled but not to exceed the full amount of the Obligations. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment shall be received by any Other Borrower before the Obligations shall have been finally paid in full, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to Lender upon demand. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Borrower hereunder shall in no way be affected by:
64
(a) the release or discharge of any Other Borrower in any creditors, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings; or
(b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of any Other Borrower or the estate of any Other Borrower in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision in any court.
Section 14.10. Preferences, Fraudulent Conveyances, Etc.
If Lender is required to refund, or voluntarily refunds, any payment received from any Borrower because such payment is or may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds under the bankruptcy laws or for any similar reason, including without limitation any judgment, order or decree of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of its property, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or any statement or compromise of any claim effected by Lender with any Borrower or any other claimant (a Rescinded Payment), then each Other Borrowers liability to Lender shall continue in full force and effect, or each Other Borrowers liability to Lender shall be reinstated and renewed, as the case may be, with the same effect and to the same extent as if the Rescinded Payment had not been received by Lender, notwithstanding the cancellation or termination of any of the Loan Documents, and regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In addition, each Other Borrower shall pay, or reimburse Lender for, all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys fees, court costs and related disbursements) incurred by Lender in the defense of any claim that a payment received by Lender in respect of all or any part of the Obligations must be refunded. The provisions of this Section 14.10 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and any satisfaction and discharge of any Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law.
Section 14.11. Maximum Liability of Each Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Security Instruments granted by any Borrower are determined to exceed the reasonably equivalent value received by such Borrower in exchange for such obligations or grant of such Security Instruments under any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined), then such liability of such Borrower shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement or all other Loan Documents subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the Fraudulent Transfer Laws), in each case after giving effect to all other
65
liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of Indebtedness to any Other Borrower or any other Person that is an Affiliate of the Other Borrower to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Borrower in respect of the Obligations) and after giving effect (as assets) to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to Applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement including any contribution agreement.
Section 14.12. Liability Cumulative.
The liability of each Borrower under this Article 14 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations of any Other Borrower.
