    “(a) 
The Borrower may enter into a Hedge Transaction meeting the following

    (i) 
such Hedge Transaction shall be entered into with a Hedge Counterparty and be
governed by a Hedge Agreement;

     

    (ii)

coinciding with each Settlement Period, the first of which commences on the
first day of the current Settlement Period and the last of which ends on the
Settlement Period in which the related Loan Balance is repaid in

    (iii) 
such Hedge Transaction shall have an amortizing notional amount such that the
Hedge Notional Amount in effect during any such monthly payment period shall be
equal to the aggregate outstanding Loan Balance related to the Mortgage Loans
being renewed as of such date scheduled to be outstanding as of the commencement
of each such monthly payment period (assuming that the Hedge Schedule was
calculated in accordance with the modeling assumptions used in the Hedge
Spreadsheet);

    “(c) 
On or before each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall deposit into the Reserve
Account an amount, if any, equal to the premium (the “LIBOR Cap Premium”)

    (i) 
The Hedge Rate for such LIBOR Cap shall be a rate such that the Hedged Excess
Spread Rate for such LIBOR Cap shall not be less than 0.50%;

     

    (ii) 
Such LIBOR Cap shall have a schedule of monthly payment periods coinciding with
each Settlement Period, the first of which commences on the first day of the
current Settlement Period and the last of which ends on the Settlement Period in
which the related Loan Balance is repaid in full according to the related Hedge
Schedule;

     

    The Hedge
Counterparty shall provide the Borrower with the Hedge Rate for the related
Hedge Transaction and the amount of the LIBOR Cap Premium for the related LIBOR
Cap within one Business Day of receipt of the Hedge Request.

    


    No later
than seven (7) Business Days prior to each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall
request the Hedge Counterparty to provide to it the LIBOR Cap Premium for all
outstanding LIBOR Caps based on the respective Hedge Rates and the future
respective notional schedules then in effect.  The aggregate amount of
such LIBOR Cap Premiums as of any date of determination is referred to as the
“Aggregate LIBOR Cap
Premiums.”  The Borrower shall be required to deposit funds
into the Reserve Account in an amount equal to any excess of (i) the Aggregate
LIBOR Cap Premiums over (ii) the amount then on deposit in the Reserve
Account.  If the Borrower fails to deposit such funds prior to the
related Settlement Date, it agrees to furnish written notice to MPIC advising
that its failure to make such deposit constitutes an Event of
Default.  Any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of
the Required Reserve Amount will be released to the Borrower only upon the
payment in full of the outstanding Loan Balance.  At any time after
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender will have the
right to use the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account to purchase one or
more LIBOR Caps in its sole discretion.”
