Dear Mr. Valeri:

 

Wachovia Multifamily Capital, Inc. (“Lender”) is pleased to advise you that your application for permanent financing on the above referenced property (the “Property”) has been approved subject to and upon strict compliance by Borrower with each of the terms, conditions and provisions of this commitment letter (collectively, with the “Special Conditions”, “General Conditions” and all Exhibits attached hereto, the “Commitment”). Lender hereby agrees to make the mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) in the proposed amount (the “Loan Amount”) set forth above to Borrower pursuant to the Fannie Mae Multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing product line for early rate lock execution (“DUS ERL Program”) as set forth in the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Guide in its present form and as amended, supplemented and reissued from time to time (the “DUS Guide”). This Commitment is issued in material reliance upon (i) the continuing truth and accuracy of all information and documentation furnished (or to be furnished) to Lender in connection with the Lender DUS Program Loan Application (“Loan Application”) or otherwise with respect to Borrower, its principals (including the Key Principals) and the Property; (ii) the continuing accuracy of the recitations of fact set forth in this Commitment; and (iii) Borrower’s covenant, evidenced by its acceptance of this Commitment, to comply with each of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Commitment.

 

1.             (a) Borrower. Borrower shall be the Borrower identified above. If there is any change in the organizational structure or ownership of the Borrower from that previously disclosed to Lender, then at Lender’s option, this Commitment shall terminate and Lender shall have no obligations hereunder including the obligation to make the Loan. The Borrower shall be in good standing and duly authorized to transact business in the state of its formation and, in the event the Property is located in a different state, the state where the Property is located. The Borrower shall hold legal and beneficial title to the Property on the Closing Date (hereinafter defined) and for the entire Mortgage Loan Term, shall be a single purpose entity having no other assets, legal purpose or business other than the ownership and operation of the Property.

 

(b) Key Principals. The Key Principals shall be as identified above and shall be required to sign certain loan documents to evidence their liability for the exceptions to non-recourse liability provisions contained in the loan documents.

 

2.                                  Mortgage Loan Terms.

 

                                                     (a) Interest Rate.

 

(i) Processed Interest Rate. Based on the related materials submitted to date to Lender, the Mortgage Loan has been partially underwritten, and this Commitment is being issued, on the basis of the Processed Interest Rate set forth above. Borrower understands and

 

2



 

acknowledges that as of the date hereof Lender has not obtained a Commitment from Fannie Mae to purchase the Mortgage Loan (“Fannie Mae Commitment”) and that the Fannie Mae Commitment will not be obtained by Lender pursuant to this Section 2 unless and until Borrower has satisfied all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this Commitment. Accordingly, since Fannie Mae interest rates and pricing options fluctuate from time to time, the actual interest rate selected by Borrower pursuant to subsection (ii) below (“Selected Interest Rate”) may be other than the Processed Interest Rate based on the Fannie Mae interest rate and price quotations at the time the Fannie Mae Commitment is obtained. Borrower acknowledges that the rates quoted by Lender will also include the servicing fee payable to Lender in connection with servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Any difference between the Selected Interest Rate and the Processed Interest Rate may, in accordance with applicable Fannie Mae DUS ERL Program underwriting guidelines, result in a corresponding change in the Loan Amount. By accepting this Commitment, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no liability for fluctuations in the Fannie Mae interest rate and pricing options.

 

(ii) Selected Interest Rate. On the date (subsequent to Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this Commitment and payment to Lender of the Good Faith Deposit described in this Commitment) that Borrower selects a current interest rate and price (“Rate Setting Date”) and immediately prior to Lender obtaining the Fannie Mae Commitment, Borrower must sign and return by telecopier Lender’s DUS rate setting authorization in a form to be provided on such date by Lender (“Rate Setting Form”) by 2:00 p.m. New York, New York time. The Rate Setting Form shall confirm the Selected Interest Rate, Loan Amount, the monthly interest payment shall be based upon an Actual/360 payment schedule and the date by which the Closing Date must occur.

 

If Borrower has not satisfied the preconditions set forth in Section 3 of this Commitment and selected an interest rate and price by 2:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the Rate Setting Expiration Date, this Commitment shall automatically terminate, Lender shall have no obligation to make the Mortgage Loan and shall be relieved of any further obligations to Borrower hereunder or otherwise. Unless the Rate Setting Expiration Date has been extended, which extension may be granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, Lender shall return to Borrower, without interest, the Good Faith Deposit, if previously received from Borrower, less any amounts due and owing by the Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Commitment.

 

Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender has issued this Commitment and may accept the Rate Setting Form and allow Borrower to select the Interest Rate in reliance on Borrower’s agreement that it shall provide the balance of the documents required for underwriting and close the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Commitment as such terms may be modified. Borrower shall be liable for any and all actual damages (which amounts may exceed the Good Faith Deposit) that Lender and/or Fannie Mae may incur as a result of the Borrower’s failure to close the Mortgage Loan or, if the Borrower has provided false or materially misleading information in connection with the Loan Application.

 

(b) Maturity Date. The Mortgage Loan term shall commence on the Closing Date and shall terminate on the date that is the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the first day of the first

 

 

3



 

calendar month following the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(c)     Monthly Mortgage Payment. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay interest due on the Mortgage Loan, at the Selected Interest Rate, from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs. Thereafter, commencing on the first day of the second calendar month following the Closing Date (the “Payment Commencement Date”), and on the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter, the Borrower shall make a fixed payment of interest only at the Selected Interest Rate. If the Closing Date is the first day of a month, the monthly payments of interest only described in this paragraph shall commence on the first day of the calendar month that follows the month in which the Closing occurs. Interest during the term of the Mortgage Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of calendar days elapsed during such month. The Borrower understands that the amount allocated to interest for each month will vary depending on the actual number of calendar days during such month. As a result, loans using Actual/360 payment schedule amortize more slowly and generate more interest than a loan at the same note rate using a 30/360 payment schedule. Unless sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

(d)     Prepayment Terms. The Mortgage Loan may be prepaid only in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Fannie Mae Multifamily Note. The Yield Maintenance Period applicable to the Mortgage Loan Term shall be fourteen and one-half (14.5) years and the “Specified U.S. Treasury Security” will be determined by Fannie Mae at the time Lender obtains the Fannie Mae Commitment.

 

(e)     Late Charges; Default Interest Rate; Notice and Cure. Any payment on the Note that has not been received by Lender on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month shall be subject to a late charge of five (5.0%) percent on such payment. If any payment on the Note has not been received by Lender on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the scheduled payment date, the Mortgage Loan shall accrue interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note on a per annum rate equal to four (4%) percent above the Selected Interest Rate. Lender shall not be obligated to include in the Loan Documents clauses providing Borrower with notice of defaults and the opportunity to cure such defaults.

 

3.             Conditions Precedent for Selecting the Interest Rate and Fannie Mae Commitment. In addition to Lender’s receipt of the Good Faith Deposit described in this Commitment, Lender’s obtaining of the Fannie Mae Commitment shall be expressly conditioned upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, to the satisfaction of Lender and Lender’s Counsel (as hereinafter defined). All documents and other instruments to be delivered hereunder shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

 

a.               Receipt by Lender of a fully executed DUS Cash Extended Rate Lock Borrower Certification (the “Borrower Certification”) executed by Borrower and Key Principal, the form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

For purposes of this Commitment, a “material modification” shall mean a change that Lender and Fannie Mae deem to be material. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is obligated to accept all changes to this Commitment that are not material; or

 

(ii)           purchase of the Loan by Fannie Mae, in which event the Good Faith Deposit will be refunded to Borrower.

c.     Administration of Funds.

Key Principal(s):

 

Harold Brown and The Harold Brown 1999 Revocable Trust

Lender:

 

Wachovia Multifamily Capital, Inc.

 

The undersign undersigned Borrower is entering i into a commitment (the “Loan Commitment”) with the Lender, specified above regarding a loan (the “Loan”), in the above-referenced amount (the “Rate Lock Loan Amount”) to be made by the Lender to the Borrower and secured by a first lien on the property, described above (the “Property”). The Lender is entering into a commitment (the “DUS ERL Commitment”) to sell the Loan to Fannie Mae pursuant to Fannie Mae’s DUS requirements even though the Lender has not yet fully completed its underwriting of the Loan.

 

The DUS ERL Commitment entered into between Fannie Mae and the Lender has allowed the Borrower to (i) lock the interest rate for the Loan in the Loan Commitment prior to completion of the underwriting process, and (ii) delay the delivery of the Loan to Fannie Mae until the date referenced in the DUS ERL Commitment (the “DUS ERL Commitment Expiration Date”). The Borrower agrees that it is obligated to deliver the Loan to the Lender on or prior to February 11, 2008 (the “Loan Commitment Expiration Date”). Borrower and Key Principal(s) acknowledge that by rate locking the Loan, Borrower is causing Fannie Mae to take a position in the financial markets in reliance on the delivery of the Loan in accordance with the Lender’s DUS ERL Commitment with Fannie Mae. Failure of the Borrower to close the Loan in accordance with the Loan Commitment will cause Fannie Mae to incur economic damages.

 

It is a condition of the an Commitment and the DUS ERL Commitment that the Borrower and its Key Principal(s) execute this Certification. Therefore, in order to induce the Lender to make the Loan and to enter into the Loan Commitment and to induce Fannie Mae to enter into the DUS ERL Commitment with the Lender, each of the undersigned hereby certifies and agrees as follows:

 

1.                                       Representations and Warranties. Borrower and Key Principals represent and warrant that all of the following statements are true, complete, and correct in all material respect:

 

a.               To the best of the undersigned’s knowledge, with regards to the Property (i) there are no structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or other building component, roofs or system defects, latent or otherwise (“Building Components”), (ii) all Building Components are

 

16



 

in good and proper working order, and (iii) there is no material deferred maintenance on the Property (each except as otherwise noted on Exhibit A).

 

b.              No part of the Property has been taken in condemnation or other like proceeding, nor is any such proceeding pending or known to be contemplated (except as otherwise noted on Exhibit A).

 

c.               The Borrower and the Property are in compliance with all provisions of all zoning, subdivision, environmental protection, disability accommodation, land use, fire and building code, and occupational safety and health act rules, regulations, and statutes to which they are subject, and all licenses, permits, and approvals necessary for the ownership of the Borrower’s Property and the conduct of its business have been obtained (except as otherwise noted on Exhibit A).

 

d.              To the best of the undersigned’s knowledge (i) no part of the Property contains underground storage tanks, asbestos containing materials, or lead based paint, and (ii) there are no hazardous waste facilities that could affect the operation or value of the Property. In addition, the Property is not subject to any hazardous materials operations and maintenance programs (each except as otherwise noted on Exhibit A).

 

e.               The Borrower is the legal and equitable owner of the Property (or will be so at the time of Loan Closing) and there are no recorded or unrecorded leases, easements, deed restrictions, covenants, conditions, or restrictions, or other agreements, that could affect the marketability of title to the Property or the Borrower’s right to occupy and operate the Property. The Property has all reciprocal use agreements in place necessary to use and operate the Property as represented to the Lender, and the Lender will have the benefit of all such agreements (in such form as the Lender shall request) at Loan closing (except as otherwise noted on Exhibit A).

 

f.                 Each of the undersigned have reviewed the forms of all Loan Documents that the Lender will use to consummate the Loan, and each of the undersigned will accept and execute, or will cause to be accepted and executed, such documents in the form reviewed. (Subject to any subsequent changes required to comply with applicable law.)

 

2.                                       Preliminary Underwriting. Each of the undersigned understands that the Net Operating Income and the Property Value developed by the Lender to determine the Rate Lock Loan Amount are preliminary and may change once the Lender completes its underwriting of the Loan. Such change could affect the Loan Amount available under the Loan Commitment and the DUS ERL Commitment. The Lender is obligated to complete its underwriting of the Loan no later than 30 days after the rate lock date and the Borrower agrees to provide the necessary assistance and documentation to enable the Lender to fulfill this obligation.

 

After completion of final underwriting, the Lender shall determine if any changes to the terms of the Loan Commitment are necessary in order to close the Loan transaction. Each of the undersigned acknowledges that the Borrower is obligated to accept non-material

 

17



 

modifications (if any) to the Loan Commitment. The Lender, in consultation with Fannie Mae, shall make the determination as to whether a change to the Loan Commitment and, as a result, to the DUS ERL Commitment, is material. A modification will be deemed to be a material change if, based on the parties’ understanding of the transaction, a reasonable borrower or lender would find the modification to be a substantial change to the terms and conditions of the Loan which would cause the parties to terminate the transaction (a “Material Modification”). In the event of any Material Modification, the Borrower may accept or reject the change. The Borrower is not obligated to accept Material Modifications (if any) to the Loan Commitment.

 

If the Borrower refuses to accept a proposed Material Modification, the Borrower shall not be liable to the Lender for any damages incurred, and the Good Faith Deposit collected by the Lender as provided in the Loan Commitment (the “Good Faith Deposit”) will be refunded in full to the Borrower.

 

3.                                       Replacement Reserves and Completion/Repair Deposits. The following are estimates (to be finalized upon the Lender’s review of consultants’ reports, inspection of the Property, and the Lender’s final underwriting of the Loan) of replacement reserve and repair deposits that the Borrower shall be required to make and/or maintain in connection with the Loan:

 

Replacement Reserves:

 

Initial Deposit:

TBD (Subject to Final Engineering Report)

Monthly Deposit:

TBD (Subject to Final Engineering Report)

 

 

Completion/Repair:

TBD (Subject to Final Engineering Report)

 

Any changes to the required funding of deposits for Replacement Reserves or Completion/Repair after Lender’s review of third party reports and final underwriting shall not be deemed to be a Material Modification. The Borrower will be required to accept such change and close the Loan pursuant to all other terms of the Loan Commitment.

 

4.                                       Non-Delivery Prior to Completion of Underwritinn. Each of the undersigned agrees that the Lender will be entitled to terminate the Loan Commitment upon the occurrence of any of the following prior to the time the Lender completes its underwriting of the Loan:

 

a.               The third party reports (i.e., Appraisal, Environmental Assessments, Physical Needs Assessment) reveal material adverse conditions;

 

b.              The state of title of the Property as evidenced by a title insurance commitment reveals material adverse conditions;

 

c.               A material adverse change in the Property’s Net Operating Income, title, physical or operating condition has occurred since the Lender determined the Rate Lock Loan Amount;

 

18



 

d.              A material adverse change in the financial condition or credit of the Borrower, Key Principals or Principals has occurred since the Lender determined the Rate Lock Loan Amount.

 

If the Loan Commitment is terminated as a result of any one or more of the events described above, then the Borrower and Key Principal(s), jointly and severally, shall be liable for such failure to close the Loan transaction in an amount equal to the Pair-Off Fee defined in Exhibit B.

 

5.                                       Events of Default. Each of the undersigned agrees that the Borrower will be in breach of the Loan Commitment and that the Lender will be entitled to terminate the Loan Commitment at any time upon the occurrence of any of the following:

 

a.               The Borrower fails to deliver the loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Commitment for any reason after the Lender has completed its underwriting of the Loan and confirmed the terms of the Loan Commitment;

 

b.              The Borrower otherwise elects not to honor the terms of the Loan Commitment, or fails to perform its obligations under the Loan Commitment;

 

c.               Any representation, warranty, statement, certificate or other data and information provided by the Borrower to the Lender, including but not limited to the statements made in this Certification, is materially false or misleading as of the date given.

 

If the Loan is not delivered as a result of any one or more of the events of default described above, then the Borrower and Key Principal(s), jointly and severally, shall be liable for such failure to close the Loan transaction in an amount equal to the Default Fee defined in Exhibit C.

 

At Fannie Mae’s election, the Lender may be required to assign to Fannie Mae any claims the Lender may have against the Borrower and or the Key Principal(s) relating to the Borrower’s failure to close the Loan, and, in such respect, Fannie Mae will be deemed to be a third party beneficiary.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that the Lender and Fannie Mae are relying upon the truth and accuracy of all representations made in this Certification and all representations, warranties, statements, certificates and other information furnished to the Lender in connection with the issuance of this Loan Commitment.

This Certification is executed by the undersigned parties as of the          day of                    , 2008.

Exhibit B
Pair-Off Fee

 

The “Pair-Off Fee” is the greater of

 

(1)           2% of the Rate Lock Loan Amount; or

 

(2)           an amount calculated by multiplying:

 

·                                          the difference between (i) the Note Rate in the DUS ERL Commitment less the Guaranty Fee and Servicing Fee (the Required Net Coupon Rate”) and (ii) the Required Net Coupon Rate offered for purchase by Fannie Mae for an immediate funding loan with the same terms as the Loan on the DUS ERL Commitment Expiration Date or, if terminated prior to the DUS ERL Commitment Expiration Date, the last day of the calendar month in which the DUS ERL Commitment is terminated; TIMES

 

·                                          the Rate Lock Loan Amount; TIMES

 

·                                          a present value factor, calculated using the following formula:

 

1 - (1+r)-n
r

 

·                                          where:

 

                                                r               =              the Required Net Coupon Rate used in (ii) above; and

 

                                                n              =              the number of years the Loan Term on the DUS ERL Commitment.

 

In the event of a partial reduction to the Loan Amount, the Pair-Off Fee that is due will be determined based on the amount of the reduction that exceeds 5% of the Rate Lock Loan Amount. No Pair-Off Fee is due on a reduction to the Loan Amount that does not exceed 5% of the Rate Lock Loan Amount.

 

24



 

Exhibit C
Default Fee

 

The “Default Fee” is the greater of

 

(1)           2% of the Rate Lock Loan Amount; or

 

(2)           an amount calculated by multiplying:

 

·                                          the difference between (i) the interest rate for the Loan in the DUS ERL Commitment and (ii) the yield rate (“Yield Rate”) of the on the run U.S. Treasury security whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Loan, as the Yield Rate is reported in The Wall Street Journal on the DUS ERL Commitment Expiration Date or, if terminated prior to the DUS ERL Commitment Expiration Date, the last day of the calendar month in which the DUS ERL Commitment is terminated; TIMES

 

·                                          the Rate Lock Loan Amount; TIMES

 

·                                          a present value factor, calculated using the following formula:

 

1 - (1+r)-n
r

 

·                                          where:

 

                                                r               =              the Yield Rate; and

 

                                                n              =              the number of years the Loan Term on the DUS ERL Commitment.
