2. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

         2.1. Revolving Credit Commitment.

         2.1.1. Initial Revolving Credit Commitment

         Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, Lender agrees to advance funds
to Borrower at any time or from time to time during the term hereof, provided
that after giving effect to any particular advance the Loan amount outstanding
at any one time shall not exceed the amount which would be permitted to be
outstanding under the Sublimits. Within such limits of time and amount and
subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay
and reborrow pursuant to this SECTION 2.1. All advances under this Agreement
constitute a single indebtedness, and all of the Collateral is security for the
Revolving Credit Note and for the performance of all of the Obligations.

         2.1.2. Increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment.

                  2.1.2.1. Prior to the First Anniversary.

                  Borrower shall have the right to make one election prior to
the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, to increase the Commitment to a
total amount not to exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount. Borrower shall
exercise such right by delivering to Lender on or prior to the first (1st)
anniversary of the Closing Date written notice of its intent to increase the
Commitment, which notice shall indicate the amount up to which Borrower desires
to increase the Commitment, together with a transaction fee equal to the product
of sixty-five basis points

                                       13
<PAGE>

(.0065) times the amount of such increase in the Commitment. Thereafter, the
Commitment shall be increased to the amount set forth in Borrower's notice upon
(i) Borrower's payment of all reasonable costs and expenses that Lender and
Servicer incur in connection with such increase, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorney's fees and (ii) Borrower's submission of amendments to this
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and any of the other Loan Documents, as
Lender deems necessary, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender,
executed and where appropriate acknowledged by Borrower, evidencing the increase
in the Commitment, including, but not limited to, amendments to the title
insurance policy(ies) increasing the amount of coverage provided thereunder.

                  2.1.2.2. Following the First Anniversary.

                  After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower
shall have the right to submit up to four (4) written requests during each
subsequent twelve month period throughout the term of this Agreement to increase
the Commitment to an amount up to the Maximum Commitment Amount. Borrower shall
provide Lender with written notice of such request specifying the amount of such
proposed increase in the Commitment, provided that any such request shall be for
an amount not less than Ten Million and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and
shall be accompanied by a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of Ten
Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000.00). Upon Lender's receipt of such request,
Lender shall, within thirty (30) days, provide written notice to Borrower of the
proposed new SCHEDULE 3.2 setting forth any revisions to the G-Fees described
therein. Upon Borrower's receipt of Lender's new proposed SCHEDULE 3.2, Borrower
shall have five (5) days within which to provide Lender with written notice of
its election to increase the Commitment by such requested amount and accept the
revised G-Fees set forth in the new SCHEDULE 3.2, with such written election to
be accompanied by the payment of a transaction fee equal to the product of
sixty-five basis points (.0065) times the amount of such increase in the
Commitment (with the processing fee having accompanied Borrower's initial
request being applied as a credit thereto). If Borrower elects not to proceed or
fails to respond or submit said transaction fee within such five (5) day period,
Borrower's request shall be deemed terminated. All initial Borrower requests
pursuant to this Section 2.1.2.2. must be received by Lender within the first
five (5) calendar days of any Month. Any initial Borrower request not received
within said time period shall be of deemed delivered during the first five (5)
days of the subsequent Month.

         2.2. Term.

         The term of the Loan shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate
on the Expiration Date unless otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to the
provisions hereof.

         2.3. Nature of Lender's Obligations with Respect to the Loan.

         Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of
the Loan outstanding hereunder at any time shall never exceed the amount which
would be permitted to be outstanding under the Sublimits. Lender shall have no
obligation to make any advance hereunder on or after the Business Day next
preceding the Expiration Date. While a Potential Default, Event of

                                       14
<PAGE>

Default or Material Adverse Change exists, Lender may refuse to make any
additional advances to Borrower.

         2.4. Fees.

         2.4.1. Fees Paid Prior to the Closing Date.

         Lender acknowledges that, in addition to Borrower's obligations under
SECTION 5.1.6, Borrower has paid to Lender, as consideration for Lender's costs
in underwriting the transaction contemplated hereby, a Mortgage Review Fee and a
Seismic Report Fee, if and as applicable, for each property described at
SCHEDULE 1.1(A) and proposed by Borrower to be included in the Collateral Pool
on the Closing Date.

         2.4.2. Fees Due on the Closing Date.

                  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date
(simultaneously with the closing of the Loan), as further consideration for
Lender's cost in underwriting the commitment, a non-refundable transaction fee
in the amount of One Million Three Hundred Thousand and NO/100 Dollars
($1,300,000.00).

         2.4.3. Intentionally Omitted.

         2.4.4. Minimum Usage Fee.

         Accruing from the Closing Date until the Expiration Date, Borrower
agrees to pay to Lender, as further consideration for Lender's commitment
hereunder, a nonrefundable minimum usage fee (the "Minimum Usage Fee") equal to
the product obtained by (i) an assumed Borrowing Tranche in an amount equal to
the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount times (ii) the lowest applicable G-Fee, provided
that the Minimum Usage Fee shall be due and payable only if, and to the extent
that, the foregoing calculation results in an amount which is greater than the
G-Fee Amount actually paid by Borrower for all Borrowing Tranches outstanding
during the same computation period. The Minimum Usage Fee shall be computed for
each calendar year, or part thereof, during the term of this Agreement and shall
be payable, if at all, in arrears on the Payment Date scheduled for January of
each year of the term hereof, provided that any Minimum Usage Fee due in the
year in which the Expiration Date falls shall be due and payable on the
Expiration Date. Upon Borrower's election to terminate the Loan and the parties'
obligations under the Loan Documents prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to the
terms of SECTION 2.13, Borrower shall pay, in addition to any other fees due
hereunder, a liquidated Minimum Usage Fee computed in accordance with SECTION
2.13.2. Minimum Usage Fee payments which cover a period of less than one (1)
calendar year shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed.

         2.4.5. Intentionally Omitted.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         2.4.6. Concentration Fee.

         Borrower shall pay a fee (the "Concentration Fee") equal to eight basis
points (.0008), if at any time, and for so long as, the Collateral Pool either
(i) does not consist of at least four (4) different Collateral Pool Properties
located in three (3) different U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas or (ii)
contains a single real estate property with a value that equals or exceeds forty
percent (40%) of the aggregate value of all real estate properties in the
Collateral Pool.

         2.5. Loan Requests.

         Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower may from time to time
prior to the Expiration Date request Lender to make an advance, consistent with
the sublimits, by delivering to Lender via facsimile, a request therefor (a
"Loan Request") fully completed, authorized and executed by Servicer and an
Authorized Officer of Borrower, all in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 2.5.
Borrower may at any one time submit one (1) or more Loan Requests; each Loan
Request shall specify the items set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5, including, but not
limited to, (i) the proposed Borrowing Date (which Borrowing Date shall be in
accordance with the requirements of SECTION 2.6); (ii) the amount of the
proposed Borrowing Tranche, which shall not be less than One Million and NO/100
Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (iii) in the case of a Loan Request for a Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche, (a) the Interest Period for purposes of determining the
Reference BillsSM Rate (or such alternative index as may be selected by Lender
in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 3.4); and (b) the Base Rate,
including the Reference BillsSM Rate (or such alternative index as may be
selected by Lender in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 3.4) and Margin
that comprise such Base Rate.

         2.5.1. Sublimits.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower may
borrow hereunder only to the extent that after giving effect to such borrowing
(collectively, the "Sublimits"):

                  2.5.1.1. the Loan to Value Ratio shall not exceed the Maximum
         Loan to Value Ratio;

                  2.5.1.2. the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be
         less than 1.50 : 1.00;

                  2.5.1.3. the number of Borrowing Tranches outstanding shall
         not exceed ten (10); and

                  2.5.1.4. the Loan shall not exceed the Commitment.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Facility Debt Service
Coverage Ratio is less than 1.50 : 1.00 or the Loan to Value Ratio exceeds the
Maximum Loan to Value Ratio at any time prior to the Expiration Date, Borrower
shall be entitled to renew or consolidate (but not increase the outstanding
principal amount of) such existing outstanding Borrowing Tranches or convert the
Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche (if then outstanding) to a Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche with an Interest Period of thirty (30) days, provided that, (i) as of
the date of

                                       16
<PAGE>

such renewal or consolidation (a) no Event of Default, Potential Default or
Material Adverse Change, other than Borrower's failure to comply with SECTIONS
2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2, shall then exist, (b) Borrower's failure to comply with
SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2 shall have been for a period of less than sixty (60)
days, and (c) Borrower is otherwise in full compliance with all other terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents and (ii) throughout the period of Borrower's
non-compliance with SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2, Borrower shall comply with the
provisions of SECTION 4.5. Borrower may assure compliance with SECTIONS 2.5.1.1
and 2.5.1.2 pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 4.3. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall not be permitted to convert a Base Rate Borrowing

with the provisions of SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2.

subject to the Sublimits of SECTION 2.5.1 and the provisions of SECTION 5.2,

forth in Borrower's organizational documents.

         2.9. Additions to the Collateral Pool.

         2.9.1. Procedure for Proposing a Real Property Addition to the
Collateral Pool.

         Borrower or Proposed Borrower, as the case may be, may propose to add
one or more multi-family real properties to the Collateral Pool by delivering to
Lender (i) a written proposal for addition of the proposed real property(ies),
(ii) a Mortgage Review Fee for each proposed real property, (iii) a Seismic
Report Fee, if and as applicable, for each proposed real property and (iv) the
Underwriting Materials with respect to the proposed real property(ies) and with
respect to Proposed Borrower, if applicable, provided that, no more than one (1)
such proposal shall be submitted to Lender in any one (1) Month. Upon Lender's
receipt of the Mortgage Review Fee, the Seismic Report Fee, if and as
applicable, and all Underwriting Materials, Lender shall notify Borrower or
Proposed Borrower of the same. The determination of whether Borrower or Proposed
Borrower has provided Lender with all Underwriting Materials shall be in
Lender's discretion. For purposes of this

                                       17
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.9, Borrower or Proposed Borrower may submit a multi-family real
property for addition to the Collateral Pool, if Borrower or Proposed Borrower
has a contract to purchase such real property, provided that Borrower or
Proposed Borrower consummates the purchase of such real property on or before
the date such real property is proposed to be added to the Collateral Pool. Both
the Mortgage Review Fee and the Seismic Report Fee, if any, shall be deemed
earned upon delivery thereof, whether or not Lender approves or disapproves such
real property for addition hereunder. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs
and expenses that Lender and Servicer incur in connection with any such proposal
to add a real property to the Collateral Pool, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorney's fees and any reasonable costs and expenses incurred with
respect to third party reports, whether or not Lender approves or disapproves
such real property for addition hereunder.

         2.9.2. Procedure for Adding a Real Property to the Collateral Pool.

                  2.9.2.1. With respect to any multi-family real property that
Borrower or Proposed Borrower , as the case may be, proposes for addition to the
Collateral Pool, Lender shall, within fifty (50) days of the date on which
Lender notifies Borrower or Proposed Borrower that it has received all
Underwriting Materials, use its best efforts to accept or reject in writing the
proposed real property on the basis of whether such proposed real property meets
Lender's then current requirements for addition to the Collateral Pool, and in
the event that Lender accepts the proposed real property for addition to the
Collateral Pool, Lender shall use its best efforts to add such real property to
the Collateral Pool within thirty (30) days of the date of such acceptance,
subject to Borrower's or Proposed Borrower's timely performance of all
obligations listed under SECTION 2.9.2.2. Each property must pass Lender's own
assessment of earthquake risk to be included in the Collateral Pool.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no real property
shall be submitted for addition which will yield an Additional Collateral
Facility (to be determined by Lender in accordance with its underwriting
policies and procedures, utilizing a capitalization of net operating income to
determine value) of less than Ten Million and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
The failure of Lender to respond to Borrower's or Proposed Borrower's request
within such fifty (50) day period shall be deemed a rejection by Lender of the
proposal to add the real property to the Collateral Pool. If Lender provide(s)
the reason(s) for such rejection, Borrower or Proposed Borrower shall have
forty-five (45) days to cure or otherwise resolve to the satisfaction of Lender,
the objections of Lender to such proposed real property (Lender, in its sole
discretion, may require that Borrower provide within such forty-five (45) day
cure period necessary updates of any or all of the Underwriting Materials). If
Borrower or Proposed Borrower does not satisfy Lender's objections, then such
proposal shall be deemed terminated (unless Lender, in its sole discretion shall
opt to extend such forty-five (45) day cure period) provided that, any such
termination shall not prevent Borrower or Proposed Borrower from subsequently
resubmitting a real property (together with a Mortgage Review Fee, a Seismic
Report Fee, if and as applicable, and the Underwriting Materials) for addition
to the Collateral Pool, further provided that Borrower may not resubmit the same
real property for addition to the Collateral Pool more often than one (1) time
in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
foregoing to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the addition of any real
property increase the amount of the Commitment.

                  2.9.2.2. If and upon the date of acceptance by Lender of a
multi-family real property submitted for addition to the Collateral Pool (such
acceptance to be in writing, together with Lender's determination of the Initial
Market Value of such real property and the Net

                                       18
<PAGE>

Operating Income of such property), whether following the initial proposal of
such real property or after satisfying any objections of Lender, such real
property shall be added to the Collateral Pool, provided that, prior to such
addition (or in the instance of the documents required under item (iii)(b)
below, as soon as practicable after such addition), Borrower or Proposed
Borrower shall (i) pay the Addition Fee pursuant to SECTION 2.9.3, (ii) pay all
costs and expenses that Lender or Servicer incur in connection with the
inclusion of such real property, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees,
and (iii) submit the following to Lender: (a) all Collateral Pool Property
Documents requested by Lender, including, without limitation, a reaffirmation of
the Limited Guaranty dated as of the date hereof, fully executed and where
appropriate duly acknowledged and filed of record in the appropriate official
public records, (b) copies of all filing receipts and acknowledgements issued by
any governmental authority evidencing any recordation or filing necessary to
perfect Lender's Lien on the subject real property or other evidence
satisfactory to Lender of such recordation and filing of the applicable Security
Instrument, (c) evidence satisfactory to Lender that, subject to the Permitted
Exceptions, (1) in the case of personal property, the Lien constitutes a first
priority security interest in favor of Lender and, (2) in the case of real
property, the Security Instrument constitutes a valid and perfected first
priority Lien in favor of Lender (such evidence to be in the form of a title
insurance policy acceptable to Lender in both form and substance), and (d) an
opinion of counsel acceptable to Lender and (iv) in the case of a Proposed
Borrower, such Proposed Borrower shall execute (a) an allonge to the Revolving
Credit Note and (b) a joinder agreement, both of which shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion. If Borrower or Proposed
Borrower fails to perform any of the acts, where applicable, or to submit any of
the documents and evidence listed under (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above together
with any and all updates to the Underwriting Materials reasonably requested by
Lender within forty-five (45) days of the date of Lender's acceptance, Lender
may at its option reject the proposed real estate property and terminate such
proposal. In the event that Borrower or Proposed Borrower performs all of the
acts and submits all of the documents and evidence listed in (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) above within forty-five (45) days of the date of Lender's acceptance,
the proposed real estate property shall be added to the Collateral Pool.

                  2.9.3. Addition Fee.

                  Borrower shall, in addition to paying Freddie Mac's costs and
expenses, including attorney's fees, pay a fee (the "Addition Fee") equal to ten
basis points (.0010) times the Additional Collateral Facility resulting from any
real property being added to the Collateral Pool. The Addition Fee shall be due
and payable upon consummation of the addition of the proposed real property into
the Collateral Pool.

         2.10. Release of Collateral.

         Lender shall, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice, release the
Liens granted hereunder with respect to a Collateral Pool Property or Properties
which constitute(s) less than all Collateral Pool Properties, provided that (i)
prior to such release Borrower shall pay Lender a fee of Ten Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($10,000.00) for each Collateral Pool Property to be released and all
costs and expenses that Lender or Servicer incur in connection with such
release, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, (ii) at the time of the
request for such release, no Event of Default or Potential Default shall exist,
and (iii) after giving effect to such release, no Event of Default or Potential
Default shall exist, and Borrower shall be in compliance with all provisions
hereof,

                                       19
<PAGE>

provided, however, that if such release would otherwise cause Borrower to be in
non-compliance with the Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1, Borrower shall
have the opportunity to cure the same prior to or simultaneously with such
release by either (a) pledging collateral in form, substance, value and in a
manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, or (b) prepaying so
much of the Loan as is necessary to cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 4.3. Notwithstanding such thirty (30)
day time period to obtain a release, Lender shall upon five (5) Business Days
notice provide a "payoff letter" stating the amount necessary to obtain a
release so as to effectuate a sale or refinance of the subject Collateral Pool
Property. Upon the release of a Lien on a Collateral Pool Property, if the owner
of such Collateral Pool Property owns no other Collateral Pool Properties, such
owner shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, under no circumstances may Borrower receive a release of the Security
Instrument with respect to the last property in the Collateral Pool prior to the
Maturity Date, unless Borrower has elected to terminate this Agreement under
SECTION 2.13 hereunder.

         2.11. Payment of the Loan Balance Without Termination.

         Borrower shall have the right to repay the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan (subject to any Prepayment Fee due hereunder) without any
release of any Lien, and subsequently reborrow hereunder, provided that,
Borrower is at such time and thereafter remains in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations to
pay all fees due and payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any
time that the Collateral Pool contains at least one property located in the
State of Georgia, the outstanding balance of the Loan shall never be less than
$1.00.

         2.12. Valuations.

         2.12.1. Timing and Procedure of Valuation.

         In addition to any other provisions requiring valuations hereunder,
Lender shall perform, in accordance with its then current underwriting policies,
practices and procedures consistently applied (utilizing a capitalization of net
operating income to determine value), an annual valuation (the "Valuation") to
determine the then Market Value of each of the Collateral Pool Properties, which
Valuation shall be performed on or before August 31st of each calendar year
during the term of this Agreement, commencing on or about August 31, 2004. In
connection with such Valuation, Borrower shall deliver to Servicer on or before
May 31st of the applicable calendar year, a current rent roll and a twelve (12)
month operating statement with respect to each Collateral Pool Property, each
certified by an Authorized Officer. Any operating statement required hereunder
shall relate to the operations of the applicable Collateral Pool Property during
the preceding calendar year. Without limiting the foregoing, each such rent roll
and operating statement shall be in such form and contain such detail as Lender
may reasonably require and Lender may require that any such rent rolls and
operating statements shall be audited by an independent accountant acceptable to
Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to an annual Valuation with
respect to any particular Collateral Pool Property, Borrower may make one (1)
request per Collateral Pool Property that Lender re-underwrite one or more of
such Collateral Pool Properties in accordance with its then current underwriting
policies, practices and procedures consistently applied (utilizing a
capitalization

                                       20
<PAGE>

of Net Operating Income to determine value) (any such re-underwriting, a
"Re-Underwriting"), by delivering to Lender a written request therefor, at any
time between January 15th and February 1st of the applicable year, which request
shall specify the Collateral Pool Property(ies) which are to be subject to a
Re-Underwriting and shall be accompanied by (i) a Re-Underwriting fee in the
amount of Five Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) and, if applicable, a
Seismic Report Fee for each such Collateral Pool Property and (ii) the
Underwriting Materials with respect to each such Collateral Pool Property, which
materials shall be current as of February 1st (if Borrower is unable to submit
all Underwriting Materials current as of February 1st with its request, Borrower
shall have until no later than February 15th to submit all Underwriting
Materials which are current through February 1st). Upon receipt of the
Underwriting Materials, Servicer shall proceed to underwrite the applicable
Collateral Pool Property(ies) on or prior to March 15th of such calendar year.
Lender shall thereafter proceed to perform the Re-Underwriting of the applicable
Collateral Pool Property(ies) on or before April 30th of such year.

         2.12.2. Valuations that Disclose a Decrease in Market Value.

         If any Valuation discloses that the Market Value of the Collateral Pool
Properties has decreased below the then current Market Value thereof, the
Maximum Facility Available shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions
hereof and in the event such decrease in Market Value shall cause Borrower to be
in non-compliance with the Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1, Borrower shall
within thirty (30) days of notice from Lender of such decrease, cure the same by
bringing the Loan into compliance with the Sublimits by either (i) pledging
collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender,
in its sole discretion, or (ii) prepaying so much of the Loan as is necessary to
cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the provisions of
SECTION 4.3.

         2.12.3. Valuations that Disclose an Increase in Market Value.

         If any Valuation(s) pursuant to SECTION 2.12.2 previously resulted in a
decrease in the Market Value of any Collateral Pool Property (each such decrease
in the aggregate, the "Valuation Caused Decrease"), and thereafter a Valuation
discloses that the Market Value of any Collateral Pool Property has increased
over the then current Market Value of such Collateral Pool Property, the Market
Value of such Collateral Pool Property shall be deemed to have increased (the
"Valuation Caused Increase"), without the payment of any Addition Fee to the
extent of the Valuation Caused Decrease, and the Valuation Caused Decrease shall
simultaneously be deemed reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to the
Valuation Caused Increase. To the extent the Valuation Caused Increase exceeds
the previous Valuation Caused Decrease, or if there was no previous Valuation
Caused Decrease, then the Valuation Caused Increase shall be subject to an
Addition Fee. The Addition Fee shall be due within thirty (30) days of Lender's
notice of same.

         2.13. Termination.

         2.13.1. Borrower's Right to Terminate.

         Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the
parties' obligations under the Loan Documents provided that (i) Borrower
delivers to Lender thirty (30) days advance

                                       21
<PAGE>

written notice of its election to terminate specifying the Expiration Date and
(ii) Borrower repays all accrued interest on, and principal with respect to, the
Loan in full, and performs all Obligations under this Agreement, the Revolving
Credit Note and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to,
Borrower's obligation to pay the Prepayment Fee, if any, and the liquidated
Minimum Usage Fee, all as specified in SECTION 2.13.2. In the event that
Borrower shall comply with the foregoing requirements, Lender shall release the
Liens granted hereunder on the Expiration Date in accordance with SECTION 2.10.
Without limiting any other provision contained herein to the contrary, in the
event Borrower shall revoke any such request to terminate this Agreement and its
obligations hereunder, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender and Servicer in connection with such revocation.

         2.13.2. Fees Due Upon Early Termination.

         In the event Borrower shall terminate this Agreement and the parties'
obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to the provisions of SECTION
2.13.1, Borrower shall pay (i) a Prepayment Fee with respect to each outstanding
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche calculated in accordance with SECTION 4.4, and (ii)
a liquidated Minimum Usage Fee to be calculated as the product of the lowest
G-Fee shown on SCHEDULE 3.2 times a Borrowing Tranche to be assumed in an amount
equal to the Deemed Minimum Loan Amount, as if this Agreement had not
terminated, for each Month which will elapse from the Month in which such
termination occurs through and including the Month of the Maturity Date, such
liquidated Minimum Usage Fee to be discounted to net present value at a discount
rate equal to the Treasury Rate, together with all accrued Minimum Usage Fees
payable as of the date of such termination.

         2.14. Material Adverse Change to Borrower or a Collateral Pool
Property.

         If (i) Borrower or a Collateral Pool Property experiences a Material
Adverse Change or (ii) a Material Adverse Change occurs with respect to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents taken as a whole, Borrower shall
promptly notify Lender of the same in writing as soon as Borrower has notice
thereof. If Lender shall receive notice of a Material Adverse Change in
accordance with the preceding sentence, or otherwise becomes aware of a Material
Adverse Change, which Material Adverse Change affects a Collateral Pool
Property, Lender shall promptly conduct a Valuation of the affected Collateral
Pool Property pursuant to SECTION 2.12. Until such time as such Valuation shall
be completed the Collateral Pool Property which experienced the Material Adverse
Change, or which is owned by a Borrower that experienced a Material Adverse
Change, shall be deemed (but only for the purposes of determining whether any
new borrowing request satisfies all of the Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1)
to have a Market Value equal to a value to be reasonably determined and
quantified by Lender upon the information then available to Lender. Lender shall
promptly provide Borrower with written notice of the results of such Valuation.
If the results of such Valuation disclose that the Market Value of the affected
Collateral Pool Property has decreased, then the Market Value shall thereafter
be deemed to be the amount shown in such Valuation. In the event that such
Valuation hereunder shall cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the
Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days
of the notice of such valuation, cure the same by bringing the Loan into
compliance with the Sublimits by either (i) pledging collateral in form,
substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole
discretion, or (ii) prepaying so much of the Loan as is necessary to cause
compliance with the Sublimits, each in

                                       22
<PAGE>

accordance with the provisions of SECTION 4.3. If Lender shall receive notice of
a Material Adverse Change from Borrower hereunder, or otherwise becomes aware of
a Material Adverse Change which affects Borrower or the enforceability of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents taken as a whole, Borrower shall
immediately provide any information or documents reasonably requested by Lender,
including, but not limited to, (a) with respect to a Material Adverse Change
which affects Borrower, financial statements and Borrower's business plan to
cure such Material Adverse Change or (b) with respect to a Material Adverse
Change which affects the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents taken as a whole, replacement documents in form and substance
acceptable to Lender in its discretion, together with a legal opinion regarding
the enforceability of such replacement documents, acceptable to Lender in its
discretion.

         2.15. Release of Collateral Followed by a Permanent Loan.

         2.15.1. Permanent Loan.

         Borrower may request that Lender cause Servicer to make a permanent
loan (the "Permanent Loan") to be secured by one or more Collateral Pool
Properties designated by Borrower (the "Permanent Loan Collateral") to be
simultaneously released from the Collateral Pool and encumbered in favor of
Servicer as security for Borrower's obligations under the Permanent Loan, which
request shall be made in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.15.2. The
Permanent Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Streamlined Refinancing Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no
circumstances may Borrower receive a release of the Security Instrument with
respect to the last property in the Collateral Pool prior to the Maturity Date,
unless Borrower has elected to terminate this Agreement under SECTION 2.13
hereunder.

         2.15.2. Procedure for Making a Permanent Loan.

         Borrower may request that Lender cause Servicer to make a Permanent
Loan to Borrower, which request (i) shall be in writing, which writing shall
specify (a) the Collateral Pool Property(ies) that will constitute the Permanent
Loan Collateral, (b) the original principal amount of the requested Permanent
Loan, which amount shall be greater than or equal to Five Million and NO/100
Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (c) the related reduction in the Maximum Facility
Available, (d) whether Borrower has selected Lender's then current early rate
lock delivery option, and (e) any payment or prepayment of a Borrowing Tranche,
and (ii) shall be accompanied by (a) any fees then due and owing under Lender's
Streamlined Refinancing Program for each Collateral Pool Property proposed by
Borrower to be subject to the Permanent Loan, and (b) the Underwriting
Materials. Following receipt of all of the items specified in (i) and (ii) of
the previous sentence, Lender shall use its best efforts to consent to
Borrower's request within sixty (60) days of such notice, provided that (1) at
the time of such request no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, (2)
the Permanent Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Streamlined Refinancing Program, (3) after giving effect to such release no
Event of Default or Potential Default shall exist and Borrower will be in
compliance with all provisions hereof, including the Sublimits set forth in
SECTION 2.5.1, further provided that if any release occasioned by a Permanent
Loan would otherwise cause Borrower to be in non-compliance with the Sublimits,
Borrower shall have the opportunity to cure the same, prior to or simultaneously
with the release and the consummation of the Permanent Loan (which shall occur
pursuant to the Streamlined Refinancing Program), by either (A) pledging

                                       23
<PAGE>

collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender,
in its sole discretion, or (B) prepaying so much of the Loan as is necessary to
cause compliance with the Sublimits, each in accordance with the provisions of
SECTION 4.3, (4) Borrower shall provide evidence to Lender of title insurance in
form and substance acceptable to Lender and in the face amount of the Permanent
Loan, (5) the proposed Borrower under the Permanent Loan shall execute and
deliver such documents as Lender, in its discretion, may request in order to
evidence the making of the Permanent Loan and in order to grant Lender a first
priority Lien on the real and personal property constituting the Permanent Loan
Collateral subject, in each case, to any Permitted Exceptions, and (6) Borrower
shall pay Lender any fees then due and owing under Lender's Streamlined
Refinancing Program. Thereafter, Lender shall use its best efforts to consummate
the Permanent Loan within thirty (30) days of the granting of Lender's consent
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower selects
Lender's then current early rate lock delivery option, Lender shall use its best
efforts, subject to Borrower's timely compliance with Lender's requests, to lock
the interest rate for the requested Permanent Loan within seven (7) Business
Days of Borrower's notice hereunder. Any Permanent Loan granted pursuant to the
foregoing provisions shall not reduce the Commitment hereunder. Simultaneous
with the closing of the Permanent Loan, Lender shall release the Lien granted
hereunder on the Permanent Loan Collateral.

3. INTEREST RATES

         3.1. Interest Rate.

         The interest rate on each Borrowing Tranche shall be either the Prime
Rate or the Base Rate, as specified in the Loan Request. Interest rates under
this Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

         3.2. Interest Rate Determinations.

         3.2.1. Prime Rate and Base Rate Determination.

         The initial Prime Rate applicable to any Borrowing Tranche hereunder
shall equal the Prime Rate as of the Borrowing Date. The Prime Rate shall
thereafter fluctuate in accordance with any changes to the Prime Rate as
published from time to time during the term of the Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche.
The Base Rate applicable to any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche hereunder shall,
subject to the provisions set forth below, equal the Base Rate set forth in the
Loan Request, which shall be the Base Rate as it exists on the date of the Loan
Request. In the event that the Base Rate, as determined on the Borrowing Date,
is more than twenty-five basis points (.0025) higher or lower than the Base Rate
set forth in the Loan Request, the Base Rate shall be Base Rate as it exists on
the Borrowing Date. Thereafter, (i) the portion of the Base Rate attributable to
the Reference BillsSM Rate (or such alternative index as may be selected by
Lender in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 3.4) for any Borrowing
Tranche shall be redetermined as of each renewal of such Borrowing Tranche
pursuant to SECTION 3.3.3 and (ii) the Margin for all Borrowing Tranches then
outstanding shall be redetermined as of each determination and redetermination
of the G-Fee. In all events, the same Margin shall apply to all Borrowing
Tranches then outstanding. The portion of the Margin attributable to the G-Fee
shall be determined based on the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio in
accordance with the table set forth in SCHEDULE 3.2. The Facility Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (but

                                       24
<PAGE>

not Net Operating Income, which shall only be redetermined (a) on or before
August 31st of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, commencing
on or about August 31, 2004 and (b) on each addition or deletion of a real
property from the Collateral Pool pursuant to SECTIONS 2.9, 2.10 and 2.15
respectively), and the G-Fee for all Borrowing Tranches then outstanding and/or
requested shall be determined and redetermined (1) as of each Loan Request, (2)
as of each Renewal Request, (3) on or before August 31st of each calendar year
during the term of this Agreement, commencing on or about August 31, 2004, (4)
as of each addition or deletion of a real property to or from the Collateral
Pool pursuant to SECTIONS 2.9, 2.10 and 2.15 respectively, and (5) as of each
expiration of an Interest Period for any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche.

         3.2.2. Prime Rate, Base Rate and Margin Quotations.

         Borrower may call Lender on or before the date on which a Loan Request
is to be delivered or prior to the end of an Interest Period, to receive both a
calculation of the resulting Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio for a proposed
Prime Rate or Base Rate Borrowing Tranche and an indication of the rates then in
effect, including the Margin, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall
not be binding on Lender or Borrower, nor shall such projection affect the rate
of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

         3.3. Interest Periods.

         Upon each Loan Request for a new Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, and upon
each Renewal Request applicable to a Base Rate Borrowing Tranche (including, but
not limited to, a Renewal Request pursuant to which Borrower shall convert all
or a portion of the Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche to a Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche), Borrower shall notify Lender of the period (the "Interest Period")
(which may only be (i) a thirty (30) day, sixty (60) day or ninety (90) day
period or (ii) subject to a four basis point ( .0004) increase in the G-Fee
otherwise applicable to such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, a one hundred and
eighty (180) day or three hundred and sixty (360) day period) for which the
Reference BillsSM Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, shall be determined.

         3.3.1. Interest Period to End on a Business Day.

         If the last day of any Interest Period is not a Business Day, the
Interest Period shall be deemed to mature on the Business Day immediately
following such date.

         3.3.2. No Interest Periods Beyond the Expiration Date.

         Borrower shall not select or renew an Interest Period for any Base Rate
Borrowing Tranche that would end after the Expiration Date. If at the time of
any such selection or renewal the period of time remaining prior to the
Expiration Date is less than thirty (30) days then such Borrowing Tranche shall
bear interest at the Prime Rate. No Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche may remain
outstanding in excess of thirty (30) days at any one time.

         3.3.3. Renewals.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         In the case of a redetermination of an Interest Period at the end of an
Interest Period, for purposes of calculating interest due under the applicable
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche the first day of the new Interest Period shall be
the first Business Day immediately following the last day of the preceding
Interest Period (such date, the "Renewal Date"). For each Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche, if no new Interest Period is specified within two (2) Business Days
prior to the last day of such Interest Period, by delivery to Lender via
facsimile of a fully completed, authorized and executed request therefor (a
"Renewal Request") in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 3.3.3, the Borrowing
Tranche shall be renewed for an Interest Period of thirty (30) days at the Base
Rate then applicable to a Borrowing Tranche disbursed on the applicable Renewal
Date having a thirty (30) day Interest Period. Borrower may convert a Prime Rate
Borrowing Tranche to a Base Rate Borrowing Tranche or a Base Rate Borrowing
Tranche to a Prime Rate Borrowing Tranche by delivering to Lender via facsimile,
a fully completed, authorized and executed Renewal Request in the form attached
hereto as SCHEDULE 3.3.3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, (i) no Borrowing Tranche may be renewed with a principal amount of
less than One Million and NO/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and (ii) in the event
the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.50 : 1:00 or the Loan to
Value Ratio exceeds the Maximum Loan to Value Ratio, Borrower may renew or
consolidate (but not increase the outstanding principal amount of) any Borrowing
Tranche(s) then outstanding or convert some or all of the Prime Rate Borrowing
Tranche, if then outstanding, to a Base Rate Borrowing Tranche having an
Interest Period of thirty (30) days, all in accordance with the provisions of
this SECTION 3.3.3, provided that, as of the date of such renewal or
consolidation (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default, other than
Borrower's failure to comply with SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2, shall then exist,
(b) Borrower's failure to comply with SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 or 2.5.1.2 shall have
been for a period of less than sixty (60) days, and (c) Borrower is otherwise in
full compliance with all other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents,
including the provisions of SECTION 4.5. Borrower may assure compliance with
SECTIONS 2.5.1.1 and 2.5.1.2 pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 4.3.

         3.3.4. Interest After Default.

         So long as (i) any payment under this Agreement remains past due for
thirty (30) days or more, or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, interest on all Borrowing Tranches shall accrue on the unpaid
principal balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid
installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default at the default rate
set forth in the Revolving Credit Note. If the unpaid principal balance and all
accrued interest are not paid in full on the Expiration Date, the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest from the
Expiration Date at the default rate set forth in the Revolving Credit Note.
Borrower acknowledges that (a) its failure to make timely payments will cause
Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (b)
during the time that any installment is delinquent for more than thirty (30)
days, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of
the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender's ability to meet
its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities,
and (c) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional
costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any
installment is delinquent for more than thirty (30) days or any other Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender's risk of nonpayment will be
materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased
risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest set forth in the
Revolving Credit Note represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking

                                       26
<PAGE>

into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, of the
additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower's
delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive
for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

         3.3.5. Late Charge.

         If any amount payable under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note
or any other Loan Document, other than the then outstanding amount of the Loan
payable on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Revolving Credit
Note, is not received by Lender as provided in the Revolving Credit Note,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late
charge as specified in the Revolving Credit Note. Borrower acknowledges that its
failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses
in servicing and processing the Loan, and that it is extremely difficult and
impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the
late charge payable specified in the Revolving Credit Note represents a fair and
reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date
of this Agreement, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of
such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any interest payable at the default rate specified in the Revolving Credit
Note.

         3.4. Reference BillsSM Rate Unascertainable: Illegality; Increased
Costs.

         3.4.1. Unascertainable.

         In the event Freddie Mac shall at any time cease to designate any
unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac as "Reference BillsSM", at its
option, Lender may (i) select from time to time another unsecured general
obligation of Freddie Mac having original maturities, most comparable to the
term of the Interest Period for the applicable Borrowing Tranche, and issued by
Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions within the sixty (60) day period
prior to the first day of such Interest Period, and the term "Reference BillsSM"
as used herein shall mean such other unsecured general obligations as selected
by Lender; or (ii) for any one or more Interest Periods, use the applicable LIBO
Rate for purposes of determining the Base Rate for such Interest Period(s). If
Freddie Mac has not conducted an auction of its Reference BillsSM or other
unsecured general obligations within sixty (60) days prior to the first day of
the Interest Period for the proposed Borrowing Tranche, the Base Rate shall be
determined as the LIBO Rate plus the Margin for such Interest Period(s).

         3.4.2. Illegality; Increased Costs.

         At any time at which (i) the Reference BillsSM Rate shall not be
available and the Base Rate shall be determined based on the LIBO Rate in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 3.4.1 and (ii) Lender shall have also
reasonably determined that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate, (b) a contingency has occurred which
materially and adversely affects the London interbank market, (c) the making,
maintenance or funding of any Borrowing Tranche bearing interest in part at the
LIBO Rate has been made unlawful by Lender's compliance in good faith with any
Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with
any request or directive of any such Official

                                       27
<PAGE>

Body (whether or not having the force of Law, but other than as a result of any
misconduct by Lender), (d) the Base Rate as determined by the LIBO Rate will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of the establishment or
maintaining of any such Borrowing Tranche, or (e) after making all reasonable
efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest
Period for a Borrowing Tranche are not available to Lender in the London
interbank market, then Lender shall have the rights specified in SECTION 3.4.3.

         3.4.3. Lender's Rights.

         In the case of the events specified in items (i) and (ii) of SECTION
3.4.2 above, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof. Upon the date as
shall be specified in such notice, the obligation of Lender to make advances
under any Borrowing Tranche(s) at the Base Rate shall be suspended until Lender
shall have later notified Borrower of Lender's reasonable determination that the
circumstances set forth in SECTION 3.4.2 no longer exist. If at any time Lender
notifies Borrower that it has made a determination under SECTION 3.4.2, then
with respect to any Loan Request previously submitted but not yet funded, and
with respect to any Borrowing Tranche on which an Interest Period shall
thereafter expire, each new or renewal Borrowing Tranche(s) shall thereafter
bear interest at the Prime Rate and Borrower shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement as provided in SECTION 4.6.2.

         3.4.4. Option to Select LIBO Rate.

         Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 3.4 to the contrary, but
subject to the provisions of SECTION 3.4.2, Borrower shall have the one-time
option to select the LIBO Rate as the index for all Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches. In order to change the index for purposes of determining the Base Rate
from the Reference BillsSM Rate to the LIBO Rate, Borrower shall provide Lender
and Servicer with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, specifying its
election together with the effective date of Borrower's election. Thereafter the
LIBO Rate shall be the index rate for each Base Rate Borrowing Tranche resulting
from a Loan Request or Renewal Request, as the case may be, received on or after
the effective date specified in Borrower's notice. Borrower's election pursuant
to this SECTION 3.4.4 shall be irrevocable for the term of the Loan.

4. PAYMENTS

         4.1. Payments.

         All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest, Minimum Usage Fees, or other fees or amounts due from Borrower
hereunder shall be due and payable on the date when due without presentment,
demand, protest, or notice of any kind, including, but not limited to, notice of
Lender's intent to accelerate Borrower's Obligations under the Loan and notice
of such acceleration, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower (unless such
presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind are expressly provided in
the Loan Documents), and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any
nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be

Payment Statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to
the amount of principal of and interest on the Loan and other amounts owing
under this Agreement, provided that Borrower may challenge the accuracy of any
Monthly Payment Statement within one (1) year of the date of such Monthly
Payment Statement.

         4.2. Payment Dates.

         Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.3, interest on the Loan shall be
payable in arrears and shall be due, together with all other amounts set forth
on the applicable Monthly Payment Statement, prior to 12:00 noon Eastern Time on
the Business Day immediately prior to the first (1st) day of any calendar month
during the term hereof (the "Payment Date"), and shall be paid by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account specified by Servicer. Lender shall
deliver to Borrower an invoice (the "Monthly Payment Statement") detailing the
interest, Minimum Usage Fees, and other fees due and payable. Except in the case
of a prepayment under SECTION 4.3, Lender shall deliver the Monthly Payment
Statement detailing charges due for the current calendar month via fax at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of the succeeding calendar month.
In the instance of a renewal of an Interest Period pursuant to SECTION 3.3.3,
interest on such renewed Borrowing Tranche shall be due and payable on the next
Payment Date, subject to any adjustments in interest rates, as if the Interest
Period had not expired and then been renewed. Interest on prepayments under
SECTION 4.3 shall be due on the date such prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of the Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and
payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation
becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration
or otherwise).

         4.3. Prepayments.

         4.3.1. Voluntary Prepayments.

         Borrower shall have the right, at its option, from time to time to
prepay the Loan in whole or part at any time, but no prepayment may be less than
the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the applicable
Borrowing Tranche(s) being prepaid. Whenever Borrower desires to prepay any part
of the Loan, Borrower shall provide a prepayment notice to Lender by 12:00 Noon
Eastern Time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
prepayment setting forth the following information:

         (x) the estimated date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;
and

         (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment to a
particular Borrowing Tranche or Borrowing Tranches.

         All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of
the Borrowing Tranche(s) for which a prepayment notice is given, together with
interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable by 12:00 Noon
Eastern Time on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on
which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Lender shall, upon receipt of
Borrower's notice, prepare and deliver to Borrower the same day via facsimile or
other electronic transmittal a statement of interest due with respect to such
prepayment, provided that in the event

                                       29
<PAGE>

Borrower's prepayment notice is not received by Lender prior to 12:00 Noon
Eastern Time, Lender shall not be obligated to prepare and deliver such
statement of interest until the Business Day following Lender's receipt of such
notice.

         4.3.2. Mandatory Prepayment / Collateral Addition.

                  4.3.2.1. If at the time of the release of a portion of the
Collateral pursuant to SECTION 2.10, Borrower shall be in violation of any of
the Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1, Borrower may cure such violation prior
to or simultaneously with such release by either (i) pledging collateral in
form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender, in its sole
discretion, or (b) prepaying that portion of the Loan outstanding as is
necessary to cause compliance with such Sublimit, without any Prepayment Fee or
similar fee or penalty. Lender shall deliver to Borrower as soon as practicable,
but in any event within two (2) Business Days prior to such release, a statement
of the principal and interest due with respect to any required prepayment.

                  4.3.2.2. If at the time of a Material Adverse Change pursuant
to SECTION 2.14, Borrower shall be in violation of any of the Sublimits set
forth in SECTION 2.5.1, Borrower shall cure such violation within thirty (30)
days of notice of such Material Adverse Change, by either (a) pledging
collateral in form, substance, value and in a manner all acceptable to Lender,
in its sole discretion or (b) prepaying that portion of the Loan outstanding as
is necessary to cause compliance with such Sublimit , without any Prepayment Fee
or similar fee or penalty. Lender shall deliver to Borrower within two (2)
Business Days following the notice of Material Adverse Change, as the case may
be, a statement of the principal and interest due with respect to any required
prepayment.

                  4.3.2.3. In the event of a casualty or condemnation affecting
any of the Collateral Pool Properties, any award and/or proceeds payable with
respect to such casualty or condemnation and applied to Borrower's Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Instrument shall be
applied without any Prepayment Fee or other penalty, and this Agreement, and the
parties' obligations under the Loan Documents, shall be terminated, at
Borrower's election in accordance with SECTION 2.13.

                  4.3.2.4. Any mandatory prepayment of the Loan in accordance
with the provisions of this SECTION 4.3.2 shall be applied, as directed by
Borrower, to a particular Borrowing Tranche or Borrowing Tranches or, in the
absence of any specific direction from Borrower, as selected by Lender in its
sole discretion.

         4.4. Prepayment Fee.

         Unless Borrower (i) repays a Borrowing Tranche accruing interest at the
Prime Rate, (ii) has elected to prepay in advance all of the interest,
applicable to the particular Borrowing Tranche being prepaid, which would have
otherwise accrued over the applicable Interest Period, or (iii) repays all or a
part of a Borrowing Tranche upon the expiration of such Borrowing Tranche's
Interest Period, any prepayment under SECTION 4.3 shall be accompanied by a
prepayment fee (the "Prepayment Fee") which shall be determined in accordance
with SCHEDULE 4.4. The Prepayment Fee shall not constitute the payment of
interest and therefore shall not be included in the calculation

                                       30
<PAGE>

of Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the determination of Borrower's
compliance with the Sublimits set forth in SECTION 2.5.1. In addition, upon
Lender's exercise of any right of acceleration under this Agreement, the
Revolving Credit Note, or any other Loan Document following an Event of Default,
Borrower shall pay to Lender the Prepayment Fee on all Base Rate Borrowing
Tranches outstanding at the time of acceleration in addition to all interest
accrued thereon, and all other sums and fees payable to Lender hereunder, in
lieu of determining the same based on the principal amounts being prepaid under
the Revolving Credit Note as specified in SCHEDULE 4.4.

         4.5. Additional Payment Obligations.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in
SCHEDULE 3.2, if and for so long as Lender shall determine in accordance with
the provisions of SECTION 3.2.1 that the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio is
less than 1.50 : 1.00 or the Loan to Value Ratio exceeds the Maximum Loan to
Value Ratio, the G-Fee applicable to all Base Rate Borrowing Tranches then
outstanding (and thereafter renewed) shall increase by an additional one hundred
basis points (.01) over the highest G-Fee shown on SCHEDULE 3.2, further
increased, if at all, in accordance with SCHEDULE 3.2, as a result of the
duration of such Base Rate Borrowing Tranche(s), unless Borrower cures such
non-compliance within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notification of such
non-compliance. In the event that the Facility Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall
continue to be less than 1.50 : 1.00 or the Loan to Value Ratio shall exceed the
Maximum Loan to Value Ratio for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, the
same shall constitute an Event of Default (without any additional notice of cure
period).

         4.6. Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

         4.6.1. Increased Costs Resulting from Taxes, Etc.

         If any change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application
thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof or compliance with any written request or directive of any Official Body
(other than as a result of any misconduct by Lender) which is applicable to
Lender:

                  4.6.1.1. subjects Lender to any tax or changes the basis of
taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, the Loan or
payments by Borrower of any principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due from
Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Note (except for taxes on the
overall net income of Lender);

                  4.6.1.2. imposes upon Lender any condition or denies Lender
any right, the result of which is to increase the cost to, reduce the income
receivable by, or impose any expense (including breakage costs) upon Lender with
respect to this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or the making, maintenance
or funding of any Borrowing Tranche by an amount which Lender in its discretion
deems to be material;

then Lender shall from time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in
good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith)
by Lender to be necessary to compensate Lender for such increase in cost. Such
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis

                                       31
<PAGE>

for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to
Lender thirty (30) days after such notice is given.

         4.6.2. Termination.

         Upon the occurrence of any event described in SECTION 4.6.1 and SECTION
3.4.3, Borrower may elect to terminate this Agreement and the parties'
obligations under the Loan Documents, in accordance with the provisions of
SECTION 2.13, and Borrower's obligations hereunder shall terminate upon
Borrower's repayment in full of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything in SECTION
2.13 to the contrary, a termination of this Agreement upon the occurrence of an
event described in SECTION 4.6.1 or 3.4.3 shall not result in any fees otherwise
payable under SECTION 2.13.2.

         In addition to the compensation required by SECTION 4.6.1, Borrower
shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender and Servicer against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (including breakage costs) which Lender and/or
Servicer sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

                  4.6.2.1. attempt by Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Request under
SECTION 2.5, any request to release a Collateral Pool Property under SECTION
2.10, or notice relating to prepayments under SECTION 4.3, or

                  4.6.2.2. default by Borrower in the performance or observance
of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, including any failure of Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or
otherwise) any principal, interest, Prepayment Fee, Minimum Usage Fee or any
other amount due hereunder.

         If Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from
time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by Lender
(which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and
expenses and averaging or attribution methods as Lender shall deem reasonable)
to be necessary to indemnify Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall
set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination (which shall be
conclusive absent manifest error). Such amount shall be due and payable by
Borrower to Lender thirty (30) days after such notice is given.

standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as the

Pool Properties and to engage in the business it presently conducts or proposes
to conduct. Borrower is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in all
jurisdictions where the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the
business transacted by it or both makes such licensing or qualification
necessary and where the failure to be so qualified would result in a Material
Adverse Change.

         Borrower, other than Summit Properties, is a single purpose entity,
with a purpose limited to owning, maintaining and operating only the Collateral

authorized by all necessary proceedings on its part.

         6.1.4. Validity and Binding Effect.

         This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
Borrower and each other Loan Document which Borrower is required to execute and
deliver on or after the date hereof will have been duly executed and delivered

Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes, or will constitute, legal,
valid and binding obligations of Borrower on and after its date of delivery

right of specific performance. There is no offset, defense, counterclaim or
right of rescission with respect to any of the Loan Documents.

         6.1.5. No Conflict.

         Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents by Borrower nor the consummation of the transactions herein or therein
contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by

breach or violation of (i) the terms and conditions, as applicable, of the
certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of limited partnership,
partnership agreement, certificate of formation, limited liability company
agreement or other organizational documents of Borrower, (ii) any Law or any

Properties and to all other assets which it purports to own or which are
reflected as owned on its books and records, free and clear of all Liens and
encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions. The Permitted Exceptions do not
and will not materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of Borrower to pay

Obligations in a timely manner, (ii) the use of any Collateral Pool Property for
the use currently being made thereof, (iii) the operation of any Collateral Pool
Property as currently being operated, or (iv) the value of any Collateral Pool
Property.

         6.1.8. Use of Proceeds.

         Borrower intends to use the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with

         Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any material
certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to Lender in
connection herewith or therewith, contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. There is no fact known to Borrower which materially
adversely affects the business, property, assets, financial condition, results
of operations or prospects of Borrower, or any of its Affiliates which has not
been set forth in this Agreement or in the certificates, statements, agreements,
financial projections or other documents furnished in writing to Lender prior to
or at the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

         6.1.10. Taxes.

         All federal, state, local and other tax returns required to have been
filed with respect to Borrower and its Affiliates have been filed, and payment
or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all taxes, fees,
assessments and other governmental charges which have or may become due pursuant
to said returns or to assessments received, except to the extent that such

appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserves or
other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have
been made. There are no agreements or waivers extending the statutory period of
limitations applicable to any federal income tax return of Borrower, or its
Affiliates for any period.

         6.1.12. No Event of Default; Compliance with Instruments.

         No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists or will
exist after giving effect to the borrowings or other extensions of credit to be
made on the Closing Date or thereafter under or pursuant to the Loan Documents,
which constitutes an Event of Default or a Potential Default. Neither Borrower,
nor any of its Affiliates is, by execution of this Agreement and the Collateral
Pool Property Documents, as applicable, in violation of (i) any term of its
certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of limited partnership,
partnership agreement, certificate of formation, limited liability company
agreement or other organizational documents or (ii) any material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it, or any of its Collateral Pool
Properties, may be subject or bound where such violation would constitute a
Material Adverse Change.

         6.1.13. Security Interests.

         The Liens and security interests granted to and for the benefit of
Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents constitute and will continue to constitute
first priority security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in each applicable jurisdiction (the "Uniform Commercial Code") or other Law,
entitled to all the rights, benefits and priorities provided by the Uniform
Commercial Code or such Law, subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Upon the
filing of financing statements relating to said security interests in each
office in which filing is required under the Uniform Commercial Code all such
action as is necessary or advisable to establish such rights of Lender will have
been taken, and there will be, upon execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, such filings and such taking of possession, no necessity for any
further action in order to preserve, protect and continue such rights, except
the filing of continuation statements with respect to such financing statements
within six (6) months prior to the expiration of such filing of such financing
statements. All filing fees and other expenses in connection with each such
action have been or will be paid by Borrower. All continuations and any
assignments of any such financing statements have been or will be timely filed
or refiled, as appropriate, in the appropriate recording offices. Without
limiting the foregoing representations and warranties, Borrower hereby
authorizes Lender to file financing statements, continuation statements and
financing statement amendments, in such form as Lender may require to perfect or
continue the perfection of such security interests and in all events without
Borrower's signature.

         6.1.14. Mortgage Liens.

         The Liens granted to and for the benefit of Lender pursuant to the
Collateral Pool Property Documents constitute a valid first priority Lien under
applicable Law, subject to any Permitted Exceptions. All such action as will be
necessary or advisable to establish such Lien of Lender and its priority as
described in the preceding sentence will be taken at or prior to the time
required for such purpose, and there will be as of the date of execution and
delivery of the Collateral Pool Property Documents no necessity for any further
action in order to protect, preserve and continue such Lien and such priority
(except for the timely filing in the required offices of Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement continuations). All filing fees and other expenses in

Affiliates are a party are valid and in full force and effect. No notice has
been given, no claim has been made, and no grounds exist, to cancel or avoid any
of such policies or bonds or to reduce the coverage provided thereby. Such

parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms (except as disclosed
in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof). There is no default
under any such contracts by Borrower, or to Borrower's Knowledge by any of the
other parties thereto, except for defaults which would not result in a Material
Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is bound by any
contractual obligation, or subject to any restriction in any organizational
document, or any requirement of Law, which is reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change.

ERISA with respect to all Benefit Arrangements, Pension Plans and Multiemployer
Plans. There has been no Prohibited Transaction with respect to any Benefit

which could result in any material liability of Borrower or any other member of
the ERISA Group. Borrower and all members of the ERISA Group have made when due
any and all payments required to be made under any agreement relating to a
Multiemployer Plan or any Law pertaining thereto. With respect to each Pension
Plan and Multiemployer Plan, Borrower and each member of the ERISA Group (i)

plan termination basis, as disclosed in, and as of the date of, the most recent
actuarial report for such Pension Plan, does not exceed the aggregate fair
market value of the assets of such Pension Plan.

                  6.1.18.6. Neither Borrower nor any other member of the ERISA
Group has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material withdrawal
liability under ERISA to any Multiemployer Plan. Borrower nor any other member

facilities as are adequate for full utilization of such Collateral Pool Property
for its use as a multifamily residential property. All public utilities
necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of each Collateral Pool Property as
presently used and enjoyed are connected so as to serve each Collateral Pool
Property either (i) without passing over other property or, (ii) if such
utilities pass over other property, pursuant to valid easements. All roads
necessary for the full utilization of each Collateral Pool Property for its
current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by
all Official Bodies or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of
such Collateral Pool Property.

         6.1.29. No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots.

         Borrower has not and shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint

which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot.

         6.1.30. Assessments.

         Except as disclosed in the title insurance policies, there are no

         The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations imposed on
Borrower, if any, under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the other
Loan Documents will not cause Borrower to be in default under the provisions of
any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party or by which
Borrower is bound. There is no litigation or other claim pending before any
court or administrative or governmental body or overtly threatened by a written
communication against Borrower, any Collateral Pool Property, or any other
property of Borrower which would result in a Material Adverse Change or which is

general partner, managing member or principal thereof is an Affiliate or

         Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower has not claimed, nor
does Borrower intend to claim a low income housing tax credit for any of the
Collateral Pool Properties under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, or any successor Section thereto. Should Borrower later decide to pursue
claiming such a tax credit, Borrower will not proceed without obtaining Lender's
prior written consent to do so, to be granted in Lender's sole discretion.

         6.1.41. No Restrictions.

         Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, there are no rent level
restrictions or tenant income restrictions on any Collateral Pool Property.

         6.1.42. No Adverse Affect on the Loan.

         Nothing involving the Collateral Pool Properties, Borrower or
Borrower's credit standing may be reasonably expected to (i) cause any payments

become delinquent or (ii) adversely affect the Market Value of any Collateral
Pool Property.

         6.1.43. Term of Leases.

         Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, all residential leases with
respect to the Collateral Pool Property are for terms of two (2) years or less.

         Borrower shall provide with each Loan Request that will result in an
increase in the Loan, written revisions to any representations or warranties in
this Agreement which have become outdated or incorrect in any material respect.
In addition, should any such updates, corrections or additions relate to a
matter which would be a Material Adverse Change, Borrower shall promptly provide
Lender in writing with such revisions as may be necessary or appropriate, to
correct or update same. Notwithstanding the providing of revised information, a
breach of warranty or representation resulting from the prior inaccuracy or
incompleteness shall not be deemed to have been cured thereby or waived by
Lender unless and until Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have
accepted in writing such revisions or updates; further provided that no
representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been updated by any such
revision unless and until Lender funds the additional Loan Request.

         6.3. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

                  Borrower agrees that (i) all of the representations and
warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan
Documents delivered on the Closing Date are made as

                                       44
<PAGE>

representations and warranties made by Borrower shall survive the delivery of
the Revolving Credit Note and continue (a) for so long as any amount remains
owing to Lender under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any of the
other Loan Documents or (b) until the date on which Lender releases all assets
in the Collateral Pool from any Lien securing the Loan Documents pursuant to the
provisions of SECTION 2.10 or SECTION 2.15, whichever is later. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or
in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on
its behalf.

                  disclosures and governmental filings required under ERISA or
                  the Internal Revenue Code, where such failure is likely to
                  result in a Material Adverse Change.

         7.1.11. Indebtedness.

         No Borrower other than Summit Properties shall at any time create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness, except:

tangible or intangible, now owned or hereafter acquired, or agree or become
liable to do so, except the Permitted Exceptions. Upon Lender's reasonable
request, which request shall not be made more frequently than annually unless

perform or cause to be performed, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, a title
search satisfactory to Lender, demonstrating compliance with the provisions of
this SECTION 7.1.12.

         7.1.13. Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions.

         No Borrower shall dissolve, liquidate or wind-up its affairs. No
Borrower may become a party to any merger or consolidation unless such Borrower
is either directly or indirectly the surviving entity. Notwithstanding anything
in the foregoing to the contrary, Summit Properties may merge with another
publicly-held corporation (the "Merger Partner") regardless of whether or not

Partner nor any of its principals (officers, directors or shareholders able to
exert management influence or control) or affiliates has (A) materially
defaulted during the ten (10) year period prior to the date of the proposed
merger under any loan from Freddie Mac or proffered a deed in lieu of
foreclosure in satisfaction of any loan from Freddie Mac, or (B) been found
liable in any malfeasance litigation including, without limitation, breach of
fiduciary duty or fraud or convicted in any suit alleging criminal misconduct,
or

                                       48
<PAGE>

been the subject of a government enforcement action, or (C) has filed a petition
seeking reorganization or liquidation under applicable bankruptcy laws, or had
an involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it which was not dismissed
within ninety (90) days of filing or, made a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, and (ii) the "Net Worth" of the surviving entity of such merger is
equal to or greater than the Net Worth of Summit Properties prior to such
merger. Net Worth, for the purposes of the preceding sentence, shall mean assets
plus accumulated depreciation less liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Borrower which is an Affiliate of Summit Properties may be merged into
Summit Properties at any time. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the
occurrence of any merger or consolidation permitted hereunder, together with
copies of all relevant documentation related to such merger or consolidation.

         7.1.14. Dispositions of Assets or Affiliates.

         Borrower shall not sell, convey, assign, lease, abandon or otherwise

provisions or resolutions relating to capital stock), by-laws, certificate of
limited partnership, or limited partnership agreement (as applicable) or other
formation agreement or other organizational documents without first sending
notice to Lender and obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which shall
be granted or denied within thirty (30) Business Days of Lender's receipt of the
proposed amendment, a brief explanation of its purpose and effect, and such
other documents as Lender may reasonably request. Borrower shall not amend,
revise or otherwise change its name in any material respect, without the prior
written consent of Lender.

         7.1.18. Intentionally Omitted.

         7.1.19. Further Documentation.

         In the event any further documentation or information is required by
Lender to enable Lender to sell the Loan, Borrower shall provide, or cause to be
provided to Lender, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, such documentation or
information. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such documentation,
including, but not limited to, any amendments, corrections, deletions or

                                       49
<PAGE>

additions to this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, and the other Loan
Documents as is required by Lender; provided that Borrower shall not be required
to do anything that has the effect of (i) changing the material economic or
other business terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, or any other
Loan Documents or (ii) imposing on Borrower greater liability or obligation than
that set forth in this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any other Loan
Documents.

Documents or (ii) imposing on Borrower greater liability or obligation than that
set forth in this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any other Loan
Documents.

         7.1.21. Subordination of Leases.

         Borrower covenants, if any lease of any Collateral Pool Property is not
subordinate to the Security Instrument securing such Collateral Pool Property,
Borrower shall (i) use a new standard lease form containing subordination
language acceptable to Lender, for all new leases of such Collateral Pool
Property; and (ii) execute the new form of lease on any renewal of any existing
leases of such Collateral Pool Property.

         7.1.22. Enforceability of Loan Documents.

         In the event that any of the Loan Documents shall cease to be legal,
valid and binding agreements enforceable against the party executing the same or
such party's successors and assigns (as permitted under the Loan Documents) in
accordance with the respective terms thereof (except to the extent that
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the enforceability of creditors'
rights generally or limiting the right to specific performance) or shall in any
way be terminated (except in accordance with its terms) or become or be declared
ineffective or inoperative or shall in any way be challenged or contested,
resulting in the failure to provide the practical benefit of the respective
Liens, security interests, rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers or
privileges intended to be created thereby, Borrower shall use best efforts to
cure any such defect(s) in such Loan Document(s), provided that if Borrower is
unable to cure any such defect(s) within a reasonable time period, not to exceed
thirty (30) days, Lender may in its discretion, upon ten (10) days notice to
Borrower, accelerate Borrower's obligations under the Revolving Credit Note.

         7.1.23. ERISA Matters.

Reportable Event, which Lender determines in good faith constitutes grounds for
the termination of any Pension Plan by the PBGC or the appointment of a trustee
to administer or liquidate any Pension Plan, shall have occurred and be
continuing; (ii) proceedings shall have been instituted or other action taken to
terminate any Pension Plan, or

                                       50

a termination notice shall have been filed with respect to any Pension Plan;
(iii) a trustee shall be appointed to administer or liquidate any Pension Plan;
(iv) the PBGC shall give notice of its intent to institute proceedings to
terminate any Pension Plan or Pension Plans or to appoint a trustee to
administer or liquidate any Pension Plan; and, in the case of the occurrence of
(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, Lender determines in good faith that the amount
of Borrower's liability is likely to cause a Material Adverse Change; (v)
Borrower or any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to make any contributions
when due to a Pension Plan or a Multiemployer Plan; (vi) Borrower or any member

occurrence would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the
total enterprise represented by Borrower and the other members of the ERISA
Group, Borrower shall use best efforts to cure such occurrence(s), provided that
if Borrower is unable to cure any such occurrence(s) within a reasonable time
period, not to exceed thirty (30) days, Lender may in its discretion, upon ten
(10) days notice to Borrower, accelerate Borrower's obligations under the
Revolving Credit Note.

         7.2. Reporting Requirements.

         Borrower covenants and agrees that until the later of (i) payment in
full of the Loan and satisfaction of all of Borrower's other Obligations

         9.1. Cooperation by Borrower; Borrower's Obligations.

         Lender and Servicer shall not disclose any information provided by

required by applicable law or any court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) for
any information which is otherwise a matter of public record or available from
any non-confidential source.

         9.2. Successors and Assigns.

         This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Lender, Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, except that
Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its respective rights or Obligations

         9.3. Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.

         Lender and Borrower may from time to time enter into written agreements
amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the rights of Lender or Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or may grant
written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the
Obligations of Borrower hereunder or thereunder. Any such written

                                       54
<PAGE>

agreement, waiver or consent (i) shall be effective to bind Lender and Borrower
and (ii) shall be accompanied at all times by a written joinder agreement
executed by the guarantor under that certain Limited Guaranty dated as of the
date hereof in favor of Lender, consenting and/or agreeing to the same.

         9.4. Forbearance.

         Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) agree with Borrower, from
time to time, and without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or
having any effect upon the obligations of, any guarantor or other third party
obligor, to take any of the following actions: extend the time for payment of
all or any part of the Loan; reduce the payments due under this Agreement, the
Revolving Credit Note, or any other Loan Document; release anyone liable for the
payment of any amounts under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, or any
other Loan Document; modify the terms and time of payment of the Loan; join in
any extension or subordination agreement; release any Collateral Pool Property;

         Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the
Revolving Credit Note, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or otherwise
afforded by applicable Law, shall be in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver
of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of
payment of all or any part of the Loan after the due date of such payment, or in
an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of
Lender's right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on
account of the Loan or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt
payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Loan shall not constitute
an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other
right available to Lender. Lender's receipt of any awards or proceeds shall not
operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

         9.5. Remedies Cumulative.

         Each right and remedy provided in this Agreement is distinct from all

disbursements (including fees and expenses of counsel for Lender and Servicer,
incurred by Lender and Servicer (a) in connection with the administration and
interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents
pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or collection of

                                       55
<PAGE>

amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim
arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy
or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (d) in any workout or
restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or
bankruptcy proceedings, or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Lender or Servicer, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by Lender or Servicer hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Borrower
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(A) if the same results from Lender's negligence or willful misconduct or breach
of this Agreement or any action taken with respect to a Collateral Pool Property
after Lender has acquired title to such Collateral Pool Property in a
foreclosure proceeding, or (B) if Borrower was not given notice of the subject
claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give
notice does not result in a loss to Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a
compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of Borrower,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay
all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar
impositions now or hereafter determined by Lender to be payable in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower agrees
unconditionally to hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and
all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting
from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions.

         9.7. Holidays.

         Whenever the funding of a Borrowing Tranche hereunder shall be due on a
day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business
Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees,
except that the Loan shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration
Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or
action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loan) shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action
shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection
with such payment or action.

         9.9. Severability.

         The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all
other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement contains
the entire agreement between the parties as to the rights granted

                                       57

and the obligations assumed in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended
or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought.

         9.10. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

         This Agreement, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly
identify the Law that is to apply to it, shall be governed by the Laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or
in relation to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which does not
expressly identify the Law that is to apply to it, shall be litigated
exclusively in the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The state and federal
courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in
relation to this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably consents to service,
jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any
other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual
residence or otherwise.

         9.11. Prior Understanding.

         This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior
understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties
hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein,
including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.

         9.12. Duration; Survival.

         All representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or made
in connection herewith shall survive the funding of the initial advance
hereunder and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, any investigation by Lender, the funding of any Borrowing Tranche, or
payment in full of the Loan. All covenants and agreements of Borrower contained
herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so
long as Borrower may borrow hereunder and until the later of (i) the Expiration
Date or (ii) the payment in full of the Obligations. All covenants and
agreements of Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal,
interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification,
including those set forth in the Note, shall survive payment in full of the Loan
and the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary,
in no event shall (a) the release of Lender's Lien on any Collateral Pool
Property, (b) the maturity, expiration or early termination of the Revolving
Credit Note, or (c) the expiration or early termination of this Agreement, be
deemed to terminate any covenants, agreements, representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, to the
extent that such covenant, agreement, representation or warranty, shall, by its
terms survive the, release, maturity, expiration or early termination of this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

         9.13. Disclosure of Information.

         Subject to the limitations of SECTION 9.1, Lender may furnish
information regarding Borrower or the Collateral Pool Properties to third
parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement,
evaluation, performance, purchase or

                                       58
<PAGE>

securitization of the Loan, including, but not limited to, trustees, master
servicers, special servicers, rating agencies, and organizations maintaining
databases on the underwriting and performance of multifamily mortgage loans.
Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable Law
to prohibit such disclosure, including, but not limited to, any right of
privacy.

         9.14. Exceptions.

         The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be
independent of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or
covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any
such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable Law.

         9.15. Relationship of Parties; No Third Parties Benefited.

         The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of
creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall
create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. No creditor of any
party to this Agreement and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of
the preceding sentence, (i) an agreement, if any, including any Servicing
Agreement, between Lender and Servicer for interim advancement of funds shall
constitute a contractual obligation of such Servicer that is independent of the
obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Loan, (ii) Borrower shall not be a
third party beneficiary of any Servicing Agreement, and (iii) no payment by
Servicer under any such agreement will reduce the outstanding principal amount
of the Loan or any interest accrued thereon.

         9.16. Authority to File Notices.

         Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution, to file for record, at Borrower's cost and expense and in
Borrower's name, any notices that Lender considers reasonably necessary or
desirable to protect the Collateral.

         9.17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

         BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT
BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

                           the amount of principal being prepaid; or

         (b)      the amount obtained by

                  (i)      multiplying

                           (A)      the amount of principal being prepaid

                           by

                           (B)      the excess (if a positive number) of the
                                    Reference BillsSM Rate over the Reinvestment
                                    Rate;

                  (ii)     then dividing the figure obtained in (i) above by
                           three hundred and sixty (360) days; and

                  (iii)    then multiplying the figure obtained in (ii) above by
                           the Interest Period Balance.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reinvestment Rate is
                  greater than or equal to the Reference BillsSM Rate the fee
                  calculated under this subparagraph (b) shall equal zero.

                  If at any time a prepayment occurs of a Borrowing Tranche
                  bearing interest at the LIBO Rate, for purposes of computing
                  the fee payable under this subparagraph (b), all references in
                  this Schedule 4.4 to Reference BillsSM Rate shall be deemed to
                  refer to LIBO Rate, as the context requires.

         Borrower recognizes that prepayment of any amount due under the
Revolving Credit Note, whether voluntary or involuntary resulting from a default
by Borrower, will result in Lender's incurring loss, including reinvestment
loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's ability to
meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon
demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages.
Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating
prepayment premiums set forth above represents a reasonable estimate of the
damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges
that the above prepayment premium provisions are a material part of the
consideration for the Loan, and acknowledges that the terms of the Revolving
Credit Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the
Borrower's voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium provisions.

         Set forth below, for informational purposes only, is an example of the
computation of the Prepayment Fee, based on a hypothetical (i) principal amount
being prepaid of Five Million and NO/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (ii) Interest
Period Balance of fifteen (15) days, (iii) Reference BillsSM Rate of 2.75% and
(iv) Reinvestment Rate of 2.25%. Based on such hypothetical amounts:

         (a)      the computation set forth in Section 2(a) above is as follows:

                  (i)      the Interest Period Balance (15 days) divided by
                           three hundred sixty (360) days yields an amount equal
                           to approximately .041666;

                  (ii)     one percent (1%) of the figure obtained in (i) above
                           (approximately .041666) is an amount equal to
                           approximately .0004166;

                  (iii)    the product of the figure obtained in (ii) above
                           (approximately .0004166) times the amount of
                           principal being prepaid ($5,000,000.00) is an amount
                           equal to approximately $2,083.33.

         (b)      the computation set forth in Section 2(b) above is as follows:

                  (i)      the product of the principal being prepaid
                           ($5,000,000.00) times the excess of the Reference
                           Bills Rate (2.75%) over the Reinvestment Rate (2.25%)
                           (such excess .5%) is an amount equal to $25,000.00;

                  (ii)     the figure obtained in (i) above ($25,000.00) divided
                           by 360 days is an amount equal to approximately
                           69.4444;

                  (iii)    the product of the figure obtained in (ii) above
                           (approximately 69.4444) times the Interest Period
                           Balance (15 days) is an amount equal to approximately
                           $1,041.67.

         As the figure obtained under the calculation set forth in (a)
($2,083.33) exceeds the figure obtained under the calculation set forth in (b)
($1,041.67), the Prepayment Fee under this example would be equal to the figure
obtained in (a) or $2,083.33.
