GUARANTY

This Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is made as of November 4, 2005 by Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (“Guarantor”) in favor of Bank of America, N.A., successor by merger to Fleet National Bank, in its capacity as Agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the “Agent”) under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement (as defined below). Unless otherwise defined in this Guaranty or in Schedule 1 hereto, capitalized terms used in this Guaranty (including Schedule 1 hereto) shall have the meanings given such terms in the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Banks have extended and propose to extend credit to and have entered into and propose to continue credit arrangements with MMA Financial Warehousing, LLC and MMA Financial Bond Warehousing, LLC (collectively, the “Borrower”), pursuant to and as now or hereafter evidenced by that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Agreement of even date herewith among the Borrower, the Agent, the Banks, the Guarantor and the Other Guarantors (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Guarantor is an affiliate of and controls the Borrower and, will realize substantial economic benefits from the extension of credit and the continuation of the credit arrangements between the Banks and Borrower described in the Credit Documents;

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the businesses of the Guarantor and Borrower; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, and the extension and continuation of the credit facilities described in the Credit Documents, that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Banks to enter into the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, and to make, extend or continue the credit arrangements evidenced thereby and by the Credit Documents, and in consideration thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Agent, as the primary obligor and not secondarily, that Borrower will duly and punctually pay and perform at the place specified therefor, or if no place is specified, at Agent’s address set forth in the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities, direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, primary or secondary, certain or contingent, of Borrower under the Credit Documents, whether now or hereafter owing or incurred, including without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent or the Banks in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Obligations”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the liabilities and

*	The term “<[CONFIDENTIAL]>” indicates material that has been omitted and for which confidential treatment has been requested. All such omitted material has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of Agent, become forthwith due and payable to Agent without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by Guarantor. Payments by Guarantor hereunder may be required by Agent on any number of occasions.

2. Enforcement and Collection Costs. Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor, to pay to Agent, forthwith upon demand, in immediately available federal funds, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by Agent in connection with this Guaranty, and the enforcement hereof and thereof, together with interest on amounts thereon from the time such amounts become due until payment at the Default Rate applicable to Prime Rate Amounts. All such costs and expenses, together with interest thereon, are referred to herein as “Expenses”.

3. Payments. Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Obligations and the Expenses will be paid strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Agent with respect thereto, and that all payments and obligations to Agent with respect to the Obligations and the Expenses, whether by Borrower or Guarantor, will be made in immediately available federal funds on the due date thereof.

4. Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, levies, imposts, charges and withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature (collectively, “Taxes”), which are now or may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by any country, political subdivision or taxing authority on payments hereunder, excluding, however, all taxes on or measured by Agent’s (or any Bank’s) net income, all of which will be for the account of and paid by Guarantor. If for any reason any such reduction is made or any Taxes are paid by Agent (or any Bank), Guarantor will pay to Agent (or such Bank) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Agent (or such Bank) receives the same net amount which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes paid.

5. Absolute; Joint and Several. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Agent first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from Borrower or resort to any security, guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Agent has and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under the Credit Documents, the Other Guaranty (as defined below), any other guaranty of the Obligations, or applicable law, and the release or discharge of any guarantor of the Obligations or other person or entity (including, without limitation, Borrower or any of the Other Guarantors (as defined below)) now or hereafter liable (whether in whole or in part, primarily or otherwise) for the Obligations (or the Expenses, as applicable) shall not affect the continuing liability of Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of MMA Financial Holdings Inc., MMA Equity Corporation, MMA Financial TC Corp., MMA Financial BFGLP, LLC, MMA Financial BFRP, Inc., MMA Financial BFG Investments, LLC and MMA Special Limited

- 2 -

Partner, Inc. (collectively, the “Other Guarantors”), which have guaranteed on a joint and several basis the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Guaranty (as defined in the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, but defined herein as the “Other Guaranty”). The obligations of Guarantor hereunder and of the Other Guarantors under the Other Guaranty shall be joint and several obligations, and, further, shall be joint and several with the liability of each other party who has guaranteed or who in the future guarantees the Obligations.

6. Effectiveness. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty (a) shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations and Expenses have been paid in full indefeasibly in cash or are otherwise fully satisfied and the Banks shall be under no further obligation to extend credit to or enter into credit arrangements with Borrower under the Credit Documents or otherwise, and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations or the Expenses is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any of the Other Guarantors), or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws, or any other similar law, or any law or order of any governmental body or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations or the Expenses shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. If acceleration of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any of the Other Guarantors, all such Obligations otherwise subject to such acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor.

7. Security; Set-off. The Guarantor grants to Agent, as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in all of Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to amounts, securities and property now or hereafter (a) due to Guarantor from Borrower, (b) belonging to Borrower and held by Guarantor, or (c) belonging to Guarantor and held by any of the Banks, including without limitation, all loans, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, bills, drafts, acceptances, instruments, documents, securities, investment property of any kind, deposits and chattel paper and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Guaranty Collateral”). Regardless of the adequacy of any security, guaranty or other means of obtaining repayment of the Obligations or the Expenses, Agent may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default set off the whole or any portion or portions of any or all sums due from Agent to Guarantor, including Guaranty Collateral consisting of such sums, against the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

8. Freedom of Agent to deal with Borrower and Other Parties. Agent shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Guarantor and without relieving Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with Borrower, the Other Guarantors and each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations or Expenses, in such manner as Agent in its sole discretion deems fit, and in furtherance, but not limitation, of this end, Guarantor gives to Agent full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to Borrower at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as Agent may approve, (b) increase the amount of, vary the terms and grant extensions of any

- 3 -

present or future Obligations or Expenses, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect to the Obligations or the Expenses to any party, including Borrower, Guarantor, or any of the Other Guarantors, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or Expenses which Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof, including, without limitation, under the Other Guaranty, (e) accept partial payments of the Obligations and the Expenses from Borrower, any of the Other Guarantors, or any other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any guarantor of the Obligations or other person or entity (including, without limitation, Borrower, Guarantor, or any of the Other Guarantors) now or hereafter liable (whether in whole or in part, primarily or otherwise) for the Obligations or the Expenses and compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with Borrower, Guarantor, any of the Other Guarantors, or any such guarantor, other person or entity, and (g) amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, the Other Guaranty, or the other Credit Documents in any respect, including, without limitation, to increase the Maximum Amount, extend or accelerate the Maturity Date or increase the LIBOR Rate or the Prime Rate.

9. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become unrecoverable from Borrower by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to the Other Guaranty and any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of the Other Guaranty or any such other guaranty or security, regardless of whether such invalidity results from any failure of Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain or preserve any rights with respect to the Other Guaranty or such other guaranty or security.

10. Representations, Warranties, Acknowledgments and Covenants. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with Agent that:

10.1. Guarantor does not currently have (and will not have, upon execution of this Guaranty) any defenses, counterclaims or rights of set-off against Agent in connection with this Guaranty;

10.2. Other than in favor of Agent, Guarantor does not currently have, and shall not at any time after the date of this Guaranty create, assume, incur, or permit to exist, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind in respect of any of the Guaranty Collateral whether heretofore or hereafter acquired by the Guarantor;

10.3. Guarantor does not now, and shall not while any of the Obligations or Expenses remain outstanding, have, exercise or benefit from, and hereby waives, any security interest in or lien (whether granted consensually by operation of law or otherwise) upon the assets or properties of Borrower; and

10.4. All representations and warranties made herein shall survive until such

- 4 -

time as all of the Obligations and Expenses have been paid in full indefeasibly in cash or are otherwise fully satisfied and Agent shall be under no further obligation to extend credit to or enter into credit arrangements with Borrower under the Credit Documents or otherwise.

10.5. Each warranty and representation made by Guarantor or by the Borrower on Guarantor’s behalf in the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement or any other Credit Document is true, accurate and complete and is incorporated herein by reference.

10.6. In addition to the covenants and obligations set forth elsewhere in this Guaranty or by which Guarantor is bound under any other Credit Document, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that Guarantor shall comply with the additional covenants and obligations set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

11. Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor waives: presentment, demand, notice of any delinquency or default by Borrower, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable (whether in whole or in part, primarily or otherwise) for the Obligations or Expenses, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted by Agent in reliance hereon, any requirement that Agent be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving notice of any default by Borrower or asserting any other rights of Agent hereunder. Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses that at any time may be available in respect of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.

12. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. While any Obligations or Expenses are outstanding, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable law, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against Borrower on account of payments made under this Guaranty, including without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral now or hereafter securing the Obligations or the Expenses which may be held by Agent or any agent of Agent. In addition, Guarantor shall not claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in respect of any liability they may now or hereafter have to Borrower.

13. Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates its rights to payment of any principal, interest and all other amounts now or hereafter owing from Borrower (including, without limitation, any Co-Funding Amounts) and its rights in and to any collateral therefor (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”) to Agent’s right to receive payment of all Obligations and Expenses. Until the Obligations and Expenses have been paid in full indefeasibly in cash or are otherwise fully satisfied and Agent shall be under no further obligation to extend credit to or enter into credit arrangements with Borrower under the Credit Documents or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Agent:

13.1. Guarantor shall not demand, nor accept from Borrower or any other person, any payment or transfer of property in payment or satisfaction or otherwise on account of the Subordinated Debt, nor take any action prejudicial to, or inconsistent with,

- 5 -

Agent’s right to have the Obligations and the Expenses fully paid and discharged prior to the Subordinated Debt;

13.2. Should any distribution of Borrower’s property be made to Guarantor other than as specifically permitted by this Guaranty, such property shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Agent, shall not be commingled with any other assets of Guarantor, and shall be delivered immediately to Agent with all necessary assignments and/or endorsements; and

13.3. Guarantor shall not commence nor participate in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding against Borrower. In the event any such proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower, Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to: (a) enforce claims associated with the Subordinated Debt, either in Agent’s name or in the name of Guarantor, by proof of claim or otherwise; (b) collect all assets of Borrower distributed on account of the Subordinated Debt and apply them to the Obligations and the Expenses, delivering any surplus to Guarantor; (c) vote claims associated with the Subordinated Debt to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension; and (d) take any other action in connection with any such proceeding which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled to take.

Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above in this Section, provided there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, Guarantor may accept and retain repayment of the Co-Funding Amount advanced in connection with Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit used by Borrower or an MTE in connection with investment in or loans to a particular Property Partnership after the Release Conditions with respect to such Property Partnerships have been satisfied.

14. Demands and Notices. All notices, requests and demands required or permitted under the terms of this Guaranty shall be given and deemed received in accordance with the notice provisions of the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement.

15. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No provision of this Guaranty can be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by Agent and Guarantor expressly referring to the provision of this Guaranty to which such instrument relates and no such waiver shall extend to, affect or impair any right of Agent with respect to any Obligation which is not expressly dealt with therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.

16. Further Assurances. Guarantor at its sole cost and expense agrees to do all such things and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and instruments as Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of Agent hereunder.

- 6 -

17. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between any provision of this Guaranty, the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other document evidencing the Obligations or Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, it is the express and absolute understanding and agreement of Guarantor that this Guaranty shall be interpreted so as to be consistent with such other agreements and documents and to give full effect to the rights granted to Agent herein and therein.

18. Provisions to Survive. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Guaranty shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and of the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith and shall continue until payment in full of the Obligations and the Expenses and the termination of any further commitment to make any Revolving Loans or to issue Letters of Credit under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement.

19. Governing Law. This Guaranty is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law, but otherwise without regard to its conflicts of law rules).

20. Miscellaneous Provisions. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Banks and their respective its successors and assigns, and shall be binding on Guarantor and its successors, assigns and legal representatives. The rights of the Agent and the Banks hereunder may be transferred to the extent that any of the Obligations are assigned. The Guarantor shall have no right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more sections of this Guaranty in their entirety or under certain circumstances shall not affect the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions or the invalid or unenforceable provisions in different circumstances. Captions are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of the relevant provisions. The meanings of all defined terms used in this Guaranty shall be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.

21. Default; Cure. It shall be a default hereunder, and an Event of Default under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, if: (a) the Guarantor fails to perform or observe any of its covenants in this Guaranty (other than the covenants set forth in Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 11.1, 12, 13, 15, 20, 21 and 22 of Schedule 1 to this Guaranty), and such failure continues uncured for 10 days; (b) the Guarantor fails to perform or observe any of its covenants under Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 11.1, 12, 13 and 15 of this Schedule 1, and such failure continues uncured for a period of 30 days after the Guarantor becomes aware of such failure (whether through notice from the Agent, any Bank or otherwise); or (c) the Guarantor fails to perform or observe any of its covenants under Sections 20, 21 and 22 of Schedule 1 to this Guaranty (for which there shall be no cure period).

SCHEDULE 1

GUARANTOR COVENANTS

So long as any Obligation remains unsatisfied, or the Banks are obligated to make additional advances or the Agent is obligated to issue letters of credit pursuant to the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, or any such letter of credit continues to be outstanding and is not fully cash collateralized, the Guarantor hereby covenants to the Agent and the Banks as follows:

1. Merger; Sale. Without obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent and the Majority Banks under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement in each instance, the Guarantor shall not reorganize, be reconstituted, or enter into any agreement for the sale or other transfer of substantially all of its assets or for the merger or consolidation of the Guarantor with or into another entity.

2. Taxes; Reserves. The Guarantor shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes, assessments or governmental charges on or against it or its properties prior to the time when they shall become delinquent, except to the extent that failure to make such payments would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Guarantor; and provided that this covenant shall not apply to any tax, assessment or charge which is being contested in good faith and with respect to which adequate reserves have been established and are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

3. Notices.

3.1 Defaults. The Guarantor, promptly after obtaining actual knowledge thereof, shall advise the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, of the existence of any default or event of default under any agreement or other document binding upon or executed and delivered by any of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Other Guarantors, the MTEs, or MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC, including any Default or Event of Default under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement; provided, however, that such notice(s) need not be provided if such default or event of default does not constitute a Default or an Event of Default and: (a) could not reasonably be expected to subject them to liability in excess of $1,000,000 (as to the Other Guarantors) or $10,000,000 (as to the Guarantor or MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC); (b) does not involve a default by MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC on its P-Float^sm program or any other securitization; or (c) does not occur with respect to any entity under the direct or indirect Control of MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC.

3.2 Litigation and Judgments. The Guarantor, as the case may be, will give notice to the Agent and each of the Banks in writing, in form and detail satisfactory to the Agent and each Bank, within five Business Days of becoming aware of (a) any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing against it or any pending litigation or proceedings to which it is or becomes a party involving a fully or partially uninsured claim against it; or (b) any litigation or proceeding against any Persons; in either case, which, if adversely determined could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, assets or operations and stating the nature and status of such litigation or proceedings. The Guarantor will give notice, in writing, to the Agent and each of the Banks, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and each Bank within five

- 9 -

Business Days of any judgments, final or otherwise, against it in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000 as to the Borrower or any MTE or $1,000,000 as to the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors which is not fully covered by insurance (other than customary deductibles disclosed to and reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

3.3 Material Adverse Change. The Guarantor will promptly notify the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, of any material adverse change which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) or which would cause any Offering Memorandum to be materially incorrect, incomplete or misleading.

3.4 Governmental Authorities. The Guarantor will promptly notify the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, of all material notices received from any Governmental Authority and shall provide copies thereof to the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, promptly after receipt thereof.

3.5 ERISA. With respect to any Plan, the Guarantor, shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, promptly (a) written notice of the occurrence and its obtaining knowledge of a Reportable Event, (b) a copy of any request for a waiver of the funding standards or an extension of the amortization periods required under Section 412 of the Code and Section 302 of ERISA, (c) a copy of any notice of intent to terminate any funded Plan, (d) notice that the Guarantor or any Affiliate will or may incur any liability to or on account of a Plan, and (e) upon the Agent’s request, a copy of the annual report of each Plan (Form 5500 or comparable form) required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and/or the Department of Labor. Any notice to be provided to the Agent under this Section shall include a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Guarantor setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, which the Guarantor and/or the Affiliate is required or proposes to take, together with any notices required or proposed to be filed with or by the Borrower, and/or any Affiliate, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service, the trustee or the Plan administrator with respect thereto. Prior to the adoption of any Plan subject to ERISA, the Guarantor shall notify the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, of such adoption and of the vesting and funding schedules and other principal provisions thereof.

3.6 Environmental Laws. If the Guarantor shall (a) receive notice that any violation of Environmental Laws may have been committed or is about to be committed by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or the Other Guarantors or a general partner of any Property Partnership, (b) receive notice that any administrative or judicial complaint or order has been filed or is about to be filed against either the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors alleging a violation of any Environmental Law or requiring the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors to take any action in connection with the release of toxic or hazardous wastes, substances or materials into the environment, or (c) receive any notice from a federal, state, or local governmental agency or private party alleging that either the Borrower, the Guarantor or Other Guarantors may be liable or responsible for any costs associated with a response to or cleanup of a release of toxic or hazardous wastes, substances or materials into the environment or any damages caused thereby, then the Guarantor shall provide the Agent and each of the Banks with a copy of such notice within ten (10) days after the Borrower’s, the Guarantor’s or the Other Guarantors’, as the case may be, receipt thereof. Within fifteen (15) days after any of the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors have learned of the enactment or promulgation

- 10 -

of any Environmental Law which to Guarantor’s knowledge, may result in any material adverse change in the business, properties or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors or in which the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Other Guarantors hold a direct or indirect ownership or beneficial interest, the Guarantor shall provide the Agent and each of the Banks with notice thereof.

4. Inspection. The Guarantor will permit the Agent or its agents, at the Guarantor’s expense, to inspect any of its properties, including, without limitation, books and records, computer files and tapes and financial records, to examine and make copies of its books of account and other records and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and other responsible employees and professional advisers at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent may designate after reasonable notice and during normal business hours; provided, however, that as long as no Default or Event of Default exists under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement, the Guarantor shall not be liable for the costs of more than one such inspection and examination during each calendar quarter. The Agent shall use its best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained pursuant to such inspections and examinations; provided, however, such information may be disclosed (a) to the Banks, (b) to the Agent’s directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys, (c) to the Agent’s independent third party auditors, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys, (d) to all federal and state bank examiners and to all parties to whom the Agent is required to disclose such information under any present or future federal and/or state banking law or regulation, as determined by the Agent, (e) in accordance with any subpoena or court order which the Agent in good faith believes requires such disclosure, (f) to potential participants in and assignees of the Agent’s or Banks’ interests hereunder pursuant to the Agent or the Banks’ customary confidentiality practices, and (g) as the Agent and the Majority Banks under the Tax Credit Warehouse Agreement deems necessary in connection with any exercise of the Banks’ rights and remedies under the Credit Documents.
