DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR INCORPORATED
HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SEE "RISK FACTORS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISKS AND
OTHER SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES
DISCUSSED HEREIN. SEE THE GLOSSARY BEGINNING ON PAGE G-1 FOR DEFINITIONS OF
TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
TITLE OF CERTIFICATES................. Mid-America Mortgage Trust, 1998-1
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1998-1 (the
"Certificates").
ISSUER OF CERTIFICATES................ Mid-America Mortgage Trust, 1998-1
(the "Trust"), a trust created
under the laws of the State of New
York pursuant to an agreement of
trust dated as of February 5, 1998
(as amended and restated from time to
time, the "Trust Agreement")
between Mid-America Finance, Inc. as
the sole depositor and grantor (the
"Depositor"), Mid-America Apartment
Communities, Inc. ("MAAC") and
LaSalle National Bank, as trustee
(together with any successor thereto,
the "Trustee").
DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATES........... The Certificates will evidence, in
the aggregate, all of the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust
established by the Depositor pursuant
to the Trust Agreement. The only
assets of the Trust will be
$142,000,000 aggregate principal
amount (the "Principal Amount") of
% First Mortgage Bonds, Due 2003
(the "Bonds") of Mid-America
Capital Partners, L.P. (the
"Borrower"). See "Description of
Bonds." The Certificates will be
payable solely from the amounts
received by the Trustee as payments
on the Bonds. See "Description of
the Certificates."
DISTRIBUTIONS ON CERTIFICATES:........ On the first Business Day of each
month beginning March 2, 1998 (each a
"Distribution Date"), funds
available to the Trustee from the
interest payments made on the Bonds
and, after an event of default under
any mortgage or other document
evidencing the Mortgage Liens
(individually, a "Mortgage" and
collectively, the "Mortgages"),
from payments in respect of the Bonds
or the liquidation of any of the
Mortgaged Properties, will be
distributed to the holders of the
Certificates. A "Business Day" is
any day other than (i) a Saturday or

Distribution Date, in the case of

limited to an aggregate amount of
$142,000,000. See "Description of
the Bonds."

irrevocable deposit with the
Indenture Trustee of cash or U.S.
government securities sufficient to
pay principal and interest when due
on the Bonds to the Stated Maturity
Date, (ii) delivery to the Indenture

independent accountants stating that
payments derived from such deposited
cash or securities will be sufficient
to pay principal and interest when
due on the Bonds to the Stated
Maturity Date, (iii) delivery of
certain required opinions of counsel,
(iv) receipt of written confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that such

debt of
8
MAALP, and (v) absence of an Event of
Default (as defined below) arising

and improvements thereon, (iii) an
assignment of rents and leases from
the Mortgaged Properties and (iv)
the funds and investments, if any,
in certain Accounts (as defined
below) of the Borrower. Prior to a
Permitted Merger and Security
Release, MAACP, Inc., a
special-purpose Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of
MAAC, the general partner of the
Borrower (the "General Partner"),
will have no personal liability with
respect to the Bonds, and no
Bondholder may claim recourse
against the General Partner or any
limited partner (including MAALP) or
officer, director, shareholder or
employee of the Borrower or the
General Partner for any deficiency
or personal judgment after a
foreclosure on the Mortgaged
Properties. The Bonds are neither
obligations of nor guaranteed by the
General Partner, MAALP, MAAC, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Underwriter
or any of their affiliates, or
insured or guaranteed by any
governmental entity or
instrumentality or by any other
person or entity.
NO COLLATERAL AFTER PERMITTED MERGER
AND SECURITY RELEASE. If a Permitted
Merger and Security Release occur,
the Bonds will become the general
unsecured obligations of MAALP
ranking in parity with all other
unsecured indebtedness of MAALP, and
persons previously holding
Certificates will thereafter have no
claim against the Mortgaged Proper-
ties, the rents and leases derived
from the Mortgaged Properties or any
other property of MAALP, except as
general unsecured creditors of MAALP.
The Permitted Merger and Security
Release are subject to certain
conditions described below in
"-- Permitted Merger; Security
Release and Trust Termination" and
"Description of the
Bonds -- Permitted Merger; Security
Release and Trust Termination," and
there can be no assurance that such
conditions will thereafter be met or
that a Permitted Merger and Security
Release will occur.
ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS:.................. Prior to a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, the Borrower may
9
not incur any indebtedness except the
Bonds and trade accounts payable
which are paid-in-full no more than
60 days after such trade accounts
payable are incurred.
From and after a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, MAALP (i) is
prohibited from incurring (a)
indebtedness in excess of 60% of
MAALP's Total Assets (as defined
below) (b) secured indebtedness in
excess of 40% of MAALP's Total Assets
or (c) indebtedness if the
Post-Permitted Merger Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (defined below) for
the four consecutive fiscal quarters
most recently ended prior to the date
on which such additional indebtedness
is to be incurred would be less than
1.50 to 1, on a pro forma basis; and
(ii) is required to maintain total
unencumbered assets of not less than
150% of the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding unsecured
indebtedness. See "Description of
the Bonds -- Restrictive Covenants."
DEFAULT RATE:............................. Pursuant to the Indenture, if a
Permitted Merger and Security Release
do not occur and the Borrower has not
paid the entire Principal Amount of
the Bonds and all other amounts out-
standing thereunder on or before the
Stated Maturity Date, the Borrower
will be required to pay accrued
interest on the unpaid portion of
such Principal Amount outstanding and
any other amounts payable under the
Bonds from such date until paid at a
default rate of interest (the
"Default Rate") equal to the
greater of (i) the interest rate on
the Bonds plus 2% per annum or (ii)
the 20 Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus
2.8% per annum (the "Default
Interest"). Payments of Default
Interest received by the Trustee will
be paid to the Certificate holders.
RECORD DATE:.............................. The Record Date for the Bonds with
respect to any Payment Date will be
the close of business on the Business
Day immediately preceding such
Payment Date (the "Record Date").
PERMITTED MERGER; SECURITY RELEASE; AND
TRUST TERMINATION....................... The Indenture provides that the
Mortgage Liens securing the Bonds
will be subject to release
("Security Release") if and when
each of the following conditions,
among others, occurs: (i) the
unsecured debt of MAALP, including
the Bonds, is rated at least "Baa3"
and "BBB-" by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies
("S&P"), respectively, and (ii)
MAALP is a reporting company under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
pursuant to an effective registration
statement on Form 10 (or any
successor form). Moody's and S&P are
referred to collectively herein as
the "Rating Agencies."
The ability of MAALP to procure the
required ratings of its unsecured
debt, including the Bonds, is
subject to satisfaction of the
criteria for such ratings as may be
imposed from time to time by
Moody's and S&P. MAALP believes
such criteria include ownership by
MAALP directly or through
subsidiaries of substantially all
of the real estate assets currently
owned by MAAC and satisfaction of
certain leverage and equity ratios.
MAAC presently owns substantial
assets, including those acquired in
its merger with Flournoy
Development Company in November
1997 (the "FDC" Merger), which,
pursuant to various agreements to
which MAAC and MAALP are parties,
cannot be transferred by MAAC to
MAALP until November 1999.
10
The rating criteria established by
Moody's and S&P are subject to change
from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Rating Agencies,
and such criteria are outside the
control of MAALP and may not be
satisfied by MAALP prior to repay-
ment of the Bonds in full. MAALP
therefore believes that before
November 1999 MAALP cannot, and there
can be no assurance that MAALP will
procure the required ratings and
effect a Permitted Merger and
Security Release.
At least 60 days prior to a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, MAALP
will deliver to the Certificate
holders notice of its intent to
consummate the Permitted Merger and
Security Release, which notice will
be accompanied by a prospectus
pursuant to a post-effective
amendment to the registration
statement of which such prospectus
will be a part providing Certificate
holders with information about MAALP
and describing the Permitted Merger
and Security Release (the
"Post-Effective Prospectus"). Upon
proof of proper notice and delivery
of the Post-Effective Prospectus and
certification by MAALP that the
conditions to the Permitted Merger
and Security Release have been met,
the Indenture Trustee will release
the Mortgage Liens, the Borrower will
merge with and into MAALP, with MAALP
as the surviving limited partnership
of the merger (the "Permitted
Merger"), and MAALP will assume the
obligations under the Bonds.
Simultaneously with a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, the
Trust will terminate (a "Trust
Termination"), and the Trustee will
deliver the Bonds to the holders of
the Certificates through the
book-entry facilities described
herein as a distribution in full
satisfaction of their beneficial
interests in the Trust, and the
Global Certificate evidencing the
Certificates will be canceled by the
Trustee and delivered to the
Depositor and will be of no further
force or effect. At such time, the
Bonds will be the general unsecured
obligations of MAALP ranking in
parity with all other unsecured
indebtedness of MAALP, and persons
previously holding Certificates shall
thereafter have no claim against the
Mortgaged Properties, the rents and
leases derived from the Mortgaged
Properties or any other property of
MAALP except as general unsecured
creditors of MAALP.
As of the date of this Prospectus the
Borrower and MAALP have not taken any
action to effect the Permitted Merger
and Security Release.
DENOMINATIONS............................. Bonds and Certificates will be
issuable in registered form, without
interest coupons, in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof.
CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT.................. Holders of Certificates (and, after
the Permitted Merger and Security
Release, Bondholders) will hold their
Certificates (or Bonds) through The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
which may include delivery through
Cedel Bank, S.A. ("CEDEL") and The
Euroclear System ("Euroclear") as
participants of the Depository Trust
Company. Transfers within DTC, CEDEL
and Euroclear, as the case may be,
will be in accordance with the usual
rules and operating procedures of
11
the relevant system. Transfers
between persons holding directly or
indirectly through DTC, CEDEL or
Euroclear will be effected in DTC
through the relevant depositories of
CEDEL and Euroclear. To facilitate
the foregoing, a single global
certificate (the "Global
Certificate") and a single global
bond (the "Global Bond"), each in
definitive, fully registered form
without interest coupons, will be
registered in the name of a nominee
of DTC and deposited with the Trustee
(in the case of the Global
Certificate) and the Indenture
Trustee (in the case of the Global
Bond) as custodians for DTC. Owners
of beneficial interests in the Global
Certificate (and, after the Permitted
Merger and Security Release, the
Global Bond) will be entitled to
physical delivery of Certificates (or
Bonds, after the Permitted Merger and
Security Release) only under the
limited circumstances described under
"Book-Entry Issuance, Clearance and
Settlement".
THE TRUST................................. Mid-America Mortgage Trust, 1998-1, a
trust created under the laws of the
State of New York pursuant to an
agreement of trust dated as of
February 5, 1998, as amended and
restated from time to time, between
the Depositor, MAAC and the Trustee.
THE DEPOSITOR............................. Mid-America Finance, Inc., a special
purpose Delaware corporation. All of
the shares of the Depositor are owned
by MAAC.
THE BORROWER.............................. Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P., a
special purpose Delaware limited
partnership. MAALP owns a 99% limited
partnership interest in the Borrower.
The General Partner owns a 1%
interest in and is the sole general
partner of the Borrower. The Borrower
was formed by MAALP and the General
Partner in November 1997. Twenty of
the Mortgaged Properties were
previously owned and operated by
MAALP and contributed to the Borrower
at the time of its formation. These
Mortgaged Properties comprise the
Capital Properties Group and are
considered the predecessor to the
Borrower due to the common control of
these Mortgaged Properties before and
after their contribution to the
Borrower. See "Note 1 to Notes to
Combined Financial Statements" of
Capital Properties Group.
MAAC...................................... Mid-America Apartment Communities
Inc., a Tennessee corporation that
has elected to be taxed as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT")
for federal income tax purposes. MAAC
owns an approximate 84.6% interest in
MAALP and is the sole general partner
of MAALP. MAAC's Common Stock, 9.5%
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock,
and 8 7/8% Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock are traded on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbols
"MAA," "MAA PrA," and "MAA
PrB," respectively. MAAC is the
owner of all of the outstanding
capital stock of both the Depositor
and the General Partner.
MAALP..................................... Mid-America Apartments, L.P., a
Tennessee limited partnership. MAALP
is the primary operating partnership
of MAAC's umbrella partnership REIT
("UPREIT") structure.
12
MAALP owns a 99% limited partnership
interest in the Borrower. Following a
Permitted Merger and Security
Release, MAALP will be the sole
obligor on the Bonds.
INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND TRUSTEE............. LaSalle National Bank, a national
banking association. The Indenture
Trustee will act as trustee and
paying agent for the benefit of
holders of the Bonds and is the
mortgagee of the Mortgages (or the
beneficiary under the deeds of trust,
as applicable), and the secured
party, assignee or beneficiary under
other security and related documents.
In addition, LaSalle National Bank
will serve as Trustee under the Trust
Agreement for the benefit of holders
of the Certificates.
ADVANCES.................................. Pursuant to the Indenture, prior to a
Permitted Merger and Security Release
the Indenture Trustee may make an
advance on any Payment Date in
respect of any scheduled payment of
interest on the Bonds (an "Interest
Advance") to the extent such payment
has not been paid by the Borrower,
subject to certain limitations more
fully described herein. Interest Ad-
vances are intended to maintain a
regular flow of scheduled payments
and are not intended to guarantee or
ensure against payment defaults on
the Bonds.
Prior to a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, the Indenture
Trustee may make an advance in
respect of any payment of taxes,
insurance premiums or other amounts
required under the Mortgages to be
paid with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties (a "Property Advance")
and an advance in respect of any
payment of the fees of the Indenture
Trustee, the Trustee or any servicer
appointed by the Indenture Trustee (a
"Fees Advance"), in each case to
the extent that the Indenture Trustee
is notified that these payments have
not been paid by the Borrower,
subject to certain limitations more
fully described herein.
Interest Advances, Property Advances,
and Fees Advances are collectively
referred to herein as "Advances"
and each as an "Advance." The
Indenture Trustee will be obligated
to make an Advance only if the
Indenture Trustee believes that the
amount to be advanced, together with
all previous Advances and interest
thereon, will be recoverable from
subsequent payments or collections in
respect of the Mortgaged Properties.
Advances, together with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to
the prime rate of the Indenture
Trustee in effect on the date such
Advance is made, compounded monthly
(the "Advance Rate"), will be
reimbursed to the Indenture Trustee
as described herein. The Indenture
prohibits the Permitted Merger and
Security Release if any Advances are
outstanding.
After a Permitted Merger and Security
Release, the Indenture Trustee is not
obligated to make any Advances with
respect to the Bonds.

THE MORTGAGED PROPERTIES.................. The Mortgaged Properties consist of
26 apartment communities containing
5,947 apartment units. The following
table reflects the metropolitan areas
in which the Mortgaged Properties are
located, and the number of apartment
units in each such Mortgaged Property
at September 30, 1997. The Mortgaged
Properties located in DeSoto County,
Mississippi, a suburb of Memphis,
Tennessee, are considered by the Bor-
rower a part of the Memphis,
Tennessee metropolitan area.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION............ The selected financial information
for the Borrower, the summary
consolidated financial and operating
data for MAAC, and the other property
level information included in this
Prospectus are based on operating
statements and other available
information that, in certain
instances, are unaudited and were
supplied by MAAC, MAALP or their
affiliates. In other instances such
information included in this
Prospectus is based on operating
statements and information that was
supplied by previous owners of
certain Mortgaged Properties. The
accuracy of such information has not
been verified.
TOTAL APPRAISED VALUE..................... In connection with the issuance of
the Bonds, the Borrower has obtained
an appraisal of each Mortgaged
Property (the "Appraisals"). The
Appraisals estimate the value of the
Mortgaged Properties to be
approximately $241 million, in the
aggregate. Neither the Borrower nor
the Depositor makes any
14
warranty or representation that the
Mortgaged Properties could be sold at
the appraised values. See
"Description of the Mortgaged
Properties -- Appraisal Reports."
INITIAL LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO............... The initial loan-to-value ratio for
the Bonds is approximately 59% which
represents a fraction, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which is
the $142 million Principal Amount of
the Bonds, and the denominator of
which is $241 million, which is the
aggregate of the appraised values of
the Mortgaged Properties. The
loan-to-value ratio is not
necessarily indicative of the present
or future ability of the Mortgaged
Properties to generate sufficient
cash flow to fund required payments
on the Bonds.
INITIAL DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO....... Based upon (i) the aggregate pro
forma "Adjusted Cash Flow"
generated by the Mortgaged Properties
for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and (ii) the pro forma
scheduled payments due during such
period on the Bonds, assuming their
issuance at the beginning of such
period, the initial debt service
coverage ratio with respect to the
Bonds is approximately 2.29x. See
"Selected Financial Information."
For purposes of the foregoing, the
aggregate "Adjusted Cash Flow" for
the indicated period equals
approximately $16 million, which is
based on (i) all revenue derived from
the Mortgaged Properties for the
indicated period less (ii) all
expenses incurred or accrued in the
operation of the Mortgaged Properties
for the indicated periods, including
a management fee equal to 4% of
revenue and a $200 per apartment unit
capital expenditure reserve per year.
MANAGEMENT OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTIES.... Pursuant to a management agreement
between the Borrower and MAALP (the
"Management Agreement"), MAALP is
required to operate and manage the
Mortgaged Properties on a day-to-day
basis. MAALP will be paid a fee under
the Management Agreement equal to 4%
of revenue derived from the Mortgaged
Properties.
ACCOUNTS.................................. Pursuant to the Cash Collateral
Account Security, Pledge and
Assignment Agreement among the
Borrower, the Indenture Trustee and
the Account Bank (the "Cash
Collateral Agreement"), the Borrower
has established, in the name of First
Union Bank (the "Account Bank") for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee,
as a secured party, a segregated cash
collateral account (the "Operating
Account") with the Account Bank. In
addition, the Borrower has
established (i) individual operating
accounts for the Mortgaged Properties
(the "Property Accounts") and (ii)
in the name of the Account Bank for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee,
as secured party, three separate cash
collateral accounts, maintained on a
book-entry basis (the "Interest
Escrow Account," the "Mortgage
Escrow Account" and the
"Replacement Reserve Account"),
which may be utilized during a Cash
Management Period. See "Description
of the Bonds -- Priority of Payments;
Cash Management."
The Borrower has irrevocably
instructed the property manager at
each Mortgaged Property to deposit
into the applicable Property Account
(i) all rents due under the Leases;
(ii) all
15
additional amounts, if any, due and
payable under the Leases; and (iii)
all other revenue derived from the
Mortgaged Properties. All funds in
each Property Account are transferred
to the Operating Account on a daily
basis. Prior to a Cash Management
Period, all money from the Operating
Account will be transferred on a
daily basis by automated clearing
house transfer to such accounts as
the Borrower may direct in accordance
with its standing instructions to the
Account Bank. During a Cash
Management Period which follows an
event described in clause (i) of the
next succeeding paragraph, funds in
the Operating Account will be
transferred to such accounts as the
Borrower may direct on the Business
Day following each Account Funding
Date (as defined below). During a
Cash Management Period which follows
an event described in clause (ii) or
(iii) below, no funds may be
transferred from the Operating
Account except at the direction of
the Indenture Trustee or its agent.
A "Cash Management Period" is a
period during which (i) the Borrower
fails to maintain a Pre-Permitted
Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio
(as defined below) of at least 1.30
to 1 or (ii) an event of default
occurs and is continuing under the
Bonds, the Indenture or any Security
Document or (iii) any event has
occurred and is continuing which
obligates or permits the Indenture
Trustee to make an Advance. The term
"Pre-Permitted Merger Debt Service
Coverage Ratio" means the ratio of
(a) the excess of all revenue derived
from the Mortgaged Properties for the
four most recent trailing quarters
over all expenses during such period
assuming a management fee of 4% of
revenue and a $200 per apartment unit
capital expenditure reserve per annum
to (b) the amount of debt service on
the Bonds then outstanding (based on
an assumed annual debt service
constant of 9.25% per annum).
Pursuant to the Cash Collateral
Agreement, the Borrower has
instructed the Account Bank to
withdraw from the Operating Account,
during any Cash Management Period, in
the priority listed below and to the
extent such funds are available, by
10:00 a.m. New York on the Business
Day preceding each Payment Date (an
"Account Funding Date"), (i) funds
in an amount equal to one-twelfth of
the annual amount of interest on the
Bonds outstanding at the time less
the amount of funds on deposit in the
Interest Escrow Account and deposit
the same into the Interest Escrow
Account; (ii) funds in an amount
equal to the tax payments and
insurance premiums required to be
paid during the six months following
such Account Funding Date less funds
on deposit in the Mortgage Escrow
Account and deposit the same into the
Mortgage Escrow Account; and (iii)
funds in an amount equal to the
annual amount required to be escrowed
during any Cash Management Period to
fund replacements pursuant to the
Mortgages less the amount on deposit
in the Replacement Reserve Account
and deposit the same into the
Replacement Reserve Account.
PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS...................... The Indenture provides that the
Borrower will deposit each monthly
16
payment on the Bonds with the
Indenture Trustee by 10:00 a.m. New
York time on each Payment Date for
disbursement to holders of the Bonds.
The Indenture also provides that the
Indenture Trustee will apply all
amounts so received and any other
amount received pursuant to the
Indenture, excluding fees of the
Indenture Trustee which are paid by
the Borrower in a timely manner, but
including, without limitation,
amounts in the Operating Account and
the other Accounts and any payment in
respect of the liquidation of the
Mortgaged Properties, in the
following order:
FIRST: to reimburse the Indenture
Trustee for any unreimbursed
Advances, plus interest thereon at
the Advance Rate;
SECOND: to make payments, if any are
required, from the Accounts as
provided in the Cash Collateral
Agreement;
THIRD: to make payments of interest
on the Bonds in accordance with their
terms;
FOURTH: to make payments of
principal on the Bonds, to the extent
any such payments are due;
FIFTH: to make payments of Default
Interest on the Bonds, to the extent
any such payments are due; and
SIXTH: to pay any other amounts due
and owing under the Indenture.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
THE CERTIFICATES.......................... The Trust will be treated as a
grantor trust and not as an
association (or publicly traded
partnership) taxable as a corpo-
ration or a taxable mortgage pool
under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").
Under the grantor trust rules, each
Certificate holder will be treated
for federal income tax purposes as
having purchased an undivided inter-
est in the assets of the Trust to the
extent of the Certificate holder's
proportionate interest in the Trust.
In general, the tax consequences of
an investment in the Certificates
will depend on the rules applicable
to the Bonds and, after foreclosure,
the Mortgaged Properties. The
Certificates will represent an undi-
vided proportionate interest in the
Bonds. See "Certain Federal Income
Tax Considerations."
THE BONDS................................. The Bonds will be taxable obligations
under the Code and interest paid or
accrued thereon, including original
issue discount, if any, will be
taxable to non-exempt Certificate
holders. Payments on Certificates
held by foreign persons not engaged
in a U.S. trade or business generally
will be exempt from United States
withholding tax, subject to
compliance with applicable
certification procedures. No election
will be made to treat the Borrower,
the Mortgaged Properties, or the
arrangement by which the Bonds are
issued as a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit" ("REMIC") for
federal income tax purposes. Interest
income will accrue on the Bonds as
described in "Certain Federal Income
Tax Considerations" herein.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS...................... Fiduciaries of employee benefit plans
and certain other retirement plans
17
and arrangements that are subject to
the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), or corresponding
provisions of the Code, including
individual retirement accounts and
annuities, Keogh plans, and
collective investment funds in which
such plans, accounts, annuities, or
arrangements are invested (any of the
foregoing, a "Plan"), persons
acting on behalf of a Plan, or
persons using the assets of a Plan
("Plan Investors") should review
carefully with their legal advisor
whether the purchase or holding of
the Certificates or, upon the
Permitted Merger and Security
Release, the Bonds, could give rise
to a transaction that is prohibited
by ERISA or the Code. See "ERISA
Considerations."
LEGAL INVESTMENT.......................... The appropriate characterization of
the Certificates under various legal
investment restrictions, and thus the
ability of investors subject to these
restrictions to purchase the
Certificates, may be subject to
significant interpretive
uncertainties. The Certificates will
not constitute "mortgage related
securities" within the meaning of
the Secondary Mortgage Market En-
hancement Act of 1984, as amended
("SMMEA"). Accordingly, investors
should consult with their own legal
advisors to determine whether and to
what extent the Certificates consti-
tute legal investments for them. See
"Legal Investment."
RATINGS OF CERTIFICATES................... It is a condition to the issuance of
the Certificates that they be rated
no lower than "Baa2" by Moody's and
rated no lower than "BBB" by S&P. A
credit rating is not a recommendation
to buy, sell or hold securities and
may be subject to downgrade,
withdrawal or requalification at any
time by the assigning rating
organization as a result of changes
in, or the unavailability of,
information. Neither Moody's nor S&P
is rating the likelihood of receipt
or the timing of receipt of Default
Interest by holders of the
Certificates.
The ratings assigned to the
Certificates by each of the Rating
Agencies are based primarily on its
evaluation of the income-producing
ability of the Mortgaged Properties
(including, without limitation, the
ability of the Mortgaged Properties
to produce cash flow) and reflect
only the views of the Rating
Agencies. Future events, such as
events affecting the Mortgaged
Properties or the Borrower, could
have an adverse impact on the rating
of the Certificates. Although it is
the intent of the Depositor to retain
the Rating Agencies to perform annual
monitoring and to provide the Rating
Agencies with certain financial and
other information in connection
therewith, none of the Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Trustee or the
Borrower is under any obligation to
maintain any particular rating, and
the Rating Agencies are under no
obligation whatsoever to continue to
issue any rating. A downgrade,
withdrawal or requalification of a
rating may have an adverse effect on
the market price of the Certificates
but will not constitute an Event of
Default under and as defined in the
Mortgages, the Indenture or the Trust
Agreement.
The ratings of the Rating Agencies
address the likelihood of the timely
receipt by the holders of the
Certificates of all payments (other
than Default Interest) to which such
holders are entitled, including
payment of all principal (and any
other amounts due under the Security
Documents), in the case of
18
Moody's, by the Scheduled Final
Distribution Date, and, in the case
of S&P, by the Expected Final
Distribution Date. The ratings take
into consideration the
characteristics of the Certificates
and the structural and legal aspects
thereof. The ratings do not, however,
represent any assessment of the
likelihood or frequency of principal
prepayments on the Bonds or the cor-
responding effect on the yield to
investors.
CHANGE IN RATING FOLLOWING MERGER AND
SECURITY RELEASE........................ The Certificates, as a condition to
issuance, must be rated no lower than
"Baa2" and "BBB" by Moody's and
S&P, respectively; however one of the
conditions to a Permitted Merger and
Security Release is that MAALP's
unsecured debt, including the Bonds,
is rated not less than "Baa3" and
"BBB-" by Moody's and S&P,
respectively, which are lower ratings
than those of the Certificates, as
issued.
USE OF PROCEEDS........................... The proceeds from the offer and sale
of the Certificates will be utilized
by the Depositor to purchase the
Bonds from the Borrower. The net
proceeds of this offering will be
used by the Borrower to repay certain
indebtedness of the Borrower to
Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc.
pursuant to the terms of a $140
million promissory note (the "MSMC
Loan"). The proceeds from the MSMC
Loan were used to partially finance
the acquisition of Flournoy
Development Company and certain
related limited partnerships and
other entities by MAAC and MAALP on
November 25, 1997. See "Certain
Information Regarding MAALP and
MAAC -- Overview" and "-- Present
and Anticipated Operating Structure
of the Company." Finally, any
remaining net proceeds of this
offering will be distributed to the
partners of the Borrower and used by
such partners for general corporate
purposes, including acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE CERTIFICATES, AND AFTER A PERMITTED MERGER AND
SECURITY RELEASE, THE BONDS, INVOLVES VARIOUS RISKS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED
BELOW. THE BORROWER AND THE DEPOSITOR BELIEVE THAT THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH
BELOW CONSTITUTE ALL OF THE MATERIAL RISKS INVOLVED IN AN INVESTMENT IN THE
CERTIFICATES. INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THESE RISK FACTORS TOGETHER
WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS IN DETERMINING WHETHER
TO PURCHASE THE CERTIFICATES. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY
CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH STATEMENTS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING TERMINOLOGY SUCH AS "MAY," "WILL," "EXPECT,"
"ANTICIPATE," "ESTIMATE," OR "CONTINUE" OR THE NEGATIVE THEREOF OR OTHER
COMPARABLE TERMINOLOGY. THE FOLLOWING MATTERS AND CERTAIN OTHER FACTORS NOTED
THROUGHOUT THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO CONSTITUTE CAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS IDENTIFYING IMPORTANT FACTORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, INCLUDING CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, THAT
COULD CAUSE RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTIES TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
NON-DIVERSIFIED COLLATERAL
Payments of interest and principal on the Bonds and, consequently, the
Certificates, before a Permitted Merger and Security Release are dependent upon
the financial performance of the Mortgaged Properties and at all times are
subject to risks inherent in owning and operating apartments. Adverse
developments in the apartment industry in general or, before a Permitted Merger
and Security Release, in the financial performance of the Mortgaged Properties,
are more likely to have a material adverse effect on payments with respect to
the Certificates than if the collateral for the Bonds consisted of diversified
assets comprised of several property types.
SOURCES OF PAYMENTS ON THE CERTIFICATES
The Certificates, when issued, will represent all of the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust, the sole asset of which is the Bonds. None of
the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Trustee, MAALP or MAAC will be
obligated to make any payments on the Certificates. Payments on the Certificates
will be derived solely from payments made by the Borrower on the Bonds. Until a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Bonds will represent a full-recourse
obligation of the Borrower (but not the General Partner or MAALP) secured by the
Mortgaged Properties. There can be no assurance that, prior to a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, the proceeds from and value of the Mortgaged
Properties will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
After a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Bonds will be the general
unsecured obligations of MAALP ranking in parity with all other unsecured
indebtedness of MAALP, and persons previously holding Certificates shall
thereafter have no claim against the Mortgaged Properties, the rents and leases
derived from the Mortgaged Properties, or any other property of MAALP, except to
the extent all general unsecured creditors of MAALP have such claims.
SOURCES OF PAYMENTS ON THE BONDS; LIMITED OBLIGATIONS
PRIOR TO A PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. Prior to a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, neither the General Partner nor MAALP will have any
liability with respect to the Bonds, and no Bondholder may claim recourse
against the General Partner, MAALP or any limited partner or officer, director,
shareholder or employee of the Borrower, MAALP or the General Partner for any
deficiency or personal judgment after a foreclosure on any Mortgaged Property.
Payments on the Bonds are expected to be derived from payments of rent made by
residents under the Leases. There is and can be no assurance that the net cash
flow from the Mortgaged Properties will be sufficient to pay principal and
interest due on the Bonds. In addition, the liquidation value of the Mortgaged
Properties may be adversely affected by risks generally incident to interests in
real property, as described below under " -- Risks Relating to Real Estate
Investments -- General Risks." The Borrower is a limited partnership organized
for the sole purpose of owning, operating and financing the Mortgaged
Properties. The Borrower will have no assets other than the Mortgaged
Properties, certain contract rights related to, and the revenue derived from the
operation of, the Mortgaged Properties. The Bonds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by the Borrower, the General Partner,
20
the Depositor, MAALP, MAAC, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the
Underwriter or any of their respective affiliates and are not insured or
guaranteed by any governmental entity or instrumentality or by any other person
or entity.
SUBSEQUENT TO PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. Upon a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, the Trust will terminate and the Trustee will cause
the Bonds to be delivered to the holders of Certificates through the book-entry
facilities described herein as a distribution in full satisfaction of their
beneficial interests in the Trust. See "Book-Entry, Clearance and Settlement."
At such time, the Bonds will be the general unsecured obligations of MAALP
ranking in parity with all other unsecured debt of MAALP, and persons previously
holding Certificates shall thereafter have no claim against the Mortgaged
Properties, the leases and rents derived from the Mortgaged Properties, or any
other property of MAALP except to the extent all general unsecured creditors of
MAALP have such claims. The Indenture provides that, after a Permitted Merger
and Security Release, MAALP will be subject to the following financial
covenants:
Total Debt: Not to exceed 60% of total assets
(based on undepreciated book value)
Secured Debt: Not to exceed 40% of total assets
Debt Service Coverage Ratio At least 1.50 to 1, on a pro forma
basis for trailing four quarters
Unencumbered Assets: Not less than 150% of unsecured debt
See "Description of the Bonds -- Restrictive Covenants -- Limitation on
Debt From and After Permitted Merger and Security Release," " -- Limitation on
Secured Debt From and After Permitted Merger and Security Release" and
" -- Minimum Unencumbered Assets From and After Permitted Merger and Security
Release." The Rating Agencies may determine that additional covenants or
conditions are required in order to issue the ratings required as conditions to
a Permitted Merger and Security Release. The Indenture provides that if such
additional covenants are requested by the Rating Agencies, MAALP will agree to
such other covenants or conditions. There can be no assurance that MAALP will be
able to meet all of the financial covenants and other covenants and conditions
set forth in the Indenture or required by the Rating Agencies after a Permitted
Merger and Security Release.
INABILITY OF CERTIFICATE HOLDERS TO VOTE ON PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY
RELEASE
Holders of the Certificates have no voting or other rights with respect to
matters affecting the Borrower, the Depositor or MAALP. Therefore, Certificate
holders will have no right to approve or disapprove a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, which will occur upon satisfaction of all conditions described
herein or set forth in the Indenture.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
GENERAL RISKS. Prior to a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the
Borrower's ability to make payments due on the Bonds and the Trust's ability to
make distributions on the Certificates depend primarily on the Borrower's
ability to generate sufficient cash flow from the Mortgaged Properties, which
will be subject to the risks generally associated with real estate investments,
many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower. The Borrower believes that
the Mortgaged Properties and the markets in which they are located are typical
apartment communities and markets and that the risks discussed in this paragraph
are characteristic of apartment communities, wherever located. These risks
include an oversupply of apartments, a reduction in demand for apartments in the
Borrower's markets, the cost of regulation, changes in tax or housing laws,
increasing interest rate levels, the unavailability of financing, adverse
changes in national economic conditions, adverse changes in local market
conditions due to changes in general or local economic conditions and
neighborhood characteristics, competition in local markets, declines in real
estate values, variations in supply and demand in the market for apartments,
declines in occupancy rates, civil unrest, acts of God, including earthquakes
and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses), acts of war,
and adverse changes in zoning laws. Due to these and other factors, the
performance of real estate historically has been cyclical. There can be no
assurance that the markets in which the Mortgaged Properties are located will be
strong at the Stated Maturity Date of the Bonds. Such factors, including general
21
economic conditions adversely affecting the availability of mortgage financing,
may make it impossible to sell or refinance the Mortgaged Properties when
desired or upon favorable terms. Also, if any major repair or improvement is
required at the Mortgaged Properties, there can be no assurance that the
Borrower will be able to obtain funds to make such repair or improvement. As
with all real estate, if reconstruction (for example, following fire or other
casualty) or any major repair or improvement is required at the Mortgaged
Properties, changes in governmental controls may be applicable and may
materially affect the cost to, or ability of, the Borrower to effect such
reconstruction, major repair or improvement. After a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, MAALP's ability to make payments on the Bonds will be
dependent on MAALP's ability to generate cash flow from operations of all its
properties, which ability may be adversely affected by the factors described
above.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Several Mortgaged Properties are located in
common geographic regions, with two Mortgaged Properties located in each of the
Little Rock, Arkansas, Lexington, Kentucky, and Greenville, South Carolina
metropolitan areas and three Mortgaged Properties located in each of the
Jackson, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan areas. Economic
downturns, changes in local law or regulation, and similar localized events
could affect the performance of all the Mortgaged Properties that are located in
a common region.
OPERATING RISKS. The Mortgaged Properties are subject to all operating
risks common to apartment communities in general. The Borrower believes that the
Mortgaged Properties and the markets in which they are located are typical
apartment communities and markets and that the risks discussed in this paragraph
are characteristic of apartment communities, wherever located. Such risks
include: (i) competition from other apartment communities and alternative
housing; (ii) new construction of comparable properties or adverse economic
conditions in the areas in which the Mortgaged Properties are located, either of
which might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; (iii)
increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and
other factors, which increases may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;
(iv) inability or unwillingness of residents to pay rent increases; and (v)
future enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily
housing, including present and possible future laws relating to access by
disabled persons. The local rental market may limit the extent to which rents
may be increased in response to operating expense increases without decreasing
occupancy rates. The Borrower anticipates increased operating expenses in the
third calendar quarter of each year due to planned increases in apartment unit
turnover during such quarter. The ability of the Borrower, and, after a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP, to make required payments on the
Bonds and, therefore, the ability of the Trustee to make distributions on the
Certificates, could be adversely affected by any of the above-described events.
POSSIBLE LIABILITY RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Under various
federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator
of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous substances released on or in its property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of,
or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence
of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, when
released, may adversely affect occupancy of the Mortgaged Property affected and
the owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. In addition to investigation and clean-up actions brought by
federal, state and local agencies, the presence of hazardous wastes on a
property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private
plaintiffs. The Borrower has not been notified by any governmental authority of
any noncompliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of its
Mortgaged Properties or developments, nor is the Borrower aware of any other
material environmental condition with respect to any of the Mortgaged
Properties.
Each of the Mortgaged Properties has been subjected to a Phase I
environmental site assessment ("ESA") (which does not involve invasive
procedures, such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent
environmental consultants. The ESAs have not revealed any significant
environmental liability that would have a material adverse effect on the
Borrower's ability to make required payments on the Bonds. In every instance,
the Phase I ESA included a record search for leaking underground storage tank
sites and sites included on certain environmental databases. In one instance, at
Willow Creek, the database
22
search revealed information that led the ESA to recommend a Phase II ESA (which
involves invasive sampling procedures) to determine whether any contaminants
affected the Mortgaged Property. Such Mortgaged Property is adjacent to a
leaking underground storage tank site and the ESA anticipates that the adjacent
contamination will affect the Mortgaged Property. An agency of the State of
Georgia has indicated that it will assume the responsibility and cost of
remediation of such contamination and based on discussions with the applicable
state regulatory agency, the Borrower believes that it will not be responsible
or liable for the remediation or cleanup of any environmental contaimination and
that there will be no material adverse effect on the affected Mortgage Property
or the Mortgaged Properties taken as a whole as a result of environmental
contamination. In the event that environmental contamination has affected or
will affect the Mortgaged Properties, the Borrower believes that other parties
would be held primarily responsible for any response required and that any
environmental costs or liabilities would not be material. There can be no
assurance that the Borrower is correct in concluding either that other parties
would bear or be able to bear primary responsibility, or that the environmental
costs or liabilities would not be material or would not have a material adverse
effect on the Mortgaged Property or the Borrower's ability to make required
payments on the Bonds.
Certain environmental and common law principles govern the responsibility
for the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials
("ACMs") such as ceiling and floor tiles, when these ACMs are in poor
condition or when a property with ACMs is undergoing renovation or demolition.
Such laws could also be used to impose liability upon owners and operators of
real property for the release of ACMs into the air that cause personal injury or
other damage or exceed permissible levels. At all Mortgaged Properties where ACM
has been identified, the ACM is being managed in place pursuant to ACM Operation
and Maintenance plans. The Borrower believes that ACM at all of the Mortgaged
Properties can be managed or removed adequately and without significant expense.
However, there can be no assurance that the Borrower will not be required to
remediate ACM in the future at significant expense, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Borrower's ability to make required payments on the Bonds.
Beyond statute-based environmental liability, there can be common law
causes of action (for example, actions based on nuisance or on toxic tort
resulting in death, personal injury or damage to property) relating to hazardous
environmental conditions on a property. Unanticipated or uninsured liabilities
of the Borrower may jeopardize the Borrower's ability to make required payments
on the Bonds.
No assurances can be given that all potential environmental liabilities
have been identified or properly quantified or that no prior owner, operator, or
past or current resident has created an environmental condition not known to the
Borrower. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances,
or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the
current environmental condition of the Mortgaged Properties will not be affected
by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the Mortgaged
Properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks), or by third
parties unrelated to the Borrower. Federal, state and local environmental
regulatory requirements change often. It is possible that compliance with a new
regulatory requirement could impose significant compliance costs on the
Borrower. Such costs may jeopardize the Borrower's ability to make required
payments on the Bonds.
The Indenture provides that the Indenture Trustee will not commence
foreclosure on any of the Mortgaged Properties unless a Phase I ESA (and if
appropriate, a Phase II ESA) is conducted at the expense of the Borrower, and no
material environmental liabilities or potential liabilities are detected
thereby. Only one Mortgaged Property, Willow Creek, did not obtain a recommended
Phase II ESA, and there is a risk that, if a Phase II ESA is not obtained for
such Mortgaged Property, the Indenture Trustee could not foreclose on that
Mortgaged Property. The procedures required by the Indenture may delay or
adversely affect the Indenture Trustee's ability to foreclose on the Mortgaged
Properties. Moreover, any such ESA may not reveal all potential environmental
liabilities to which such Mortgaged Property may be subject. There can be no
assurance that the requirements of the Indenture, even if fully observed, will
in fact insulate the assets of the Trust from liability for environmental
conditions.
23
COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. The Mortgaged Properties must comply with
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") to the extent
that the Mortgaged Properties are "public accommodations" and/or "commercial
facilities" as defined by the ADA. Compliance with the ADA requirements could
require removal of structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public
areas of the Mortgaged Properties, where such removal is readily achievable. The
ADA does not, however, consider residential properties such as apartment
communities to be public accommodations or commercial facilities, except to the
extent portions of such facilities, such as a leasing office, are open to the
public. The Borrower believes that the Mortgaged Properties comply with all
present requirements under the ADA and applicable state laws. Noncompliance with
the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private
litigants.
The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the "FHA") requires apartment
communities first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the
handicapped. Noncompliance with the FHA could result in the imposition of fines
or an award of damages to private litigants. The Borrower believes that the
Mortgaged Properties that are subject to the FHA are in compliance with such
law.
MANAGEMENT; POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The net income realized from operations of the Mortgaged Properties may be
affected by management decisions. The day-to-day management of the Mortgaged
Properties is currently performed by MAALP pursuant to the terms of the
Management Agreement. Because MAALP, MAAC and their affiliates own or operate
apartment communities other than the Mortgaged Properties, potential conflicts
of interest exist. In particular, MAALP, MAAC and their affiliates own and
operate, and in the future may own and operate, apartment communities that
compete directly or indirectly with the Mortgaged Properties. While MAALP and
its affiliates are experienced in managing apartment communities, there can be
no assurance that MAALP will be able to manage the Mortgaged Properties
successfully.
APPRAISALS
The Appraisals valued the Mortgaged Properties at $241 million. See "The
Mortgaged Properties -- Appraisal Reports." To the knowledge of the Borrower,
the assumptions on which the Appraisals are based provide, as of the date of
preparation thereof, a reasonable basis for the Appraisals. However, such
assumptions concern the occurrence of a complex series of future events,
including those concerning leasing, occupancy, rental rates, capitalization
rates and expenses of operating the Mortgaged Properties (including, without
limitation, capital expenses) and the tax treatment of various items, all of
which assumptions are subject to various risks and contingencies, including
those set forth herein and many of which are not within the control of the
Borrower. Some of the assumptions inevitably will prove inaccurate, and
unanticipated events and circumstances will occur subsequent to the date of the
Appraisals. Therefore actual results achieved will vary from the Appraisals and
the variations may be material. Appraisals are only estimates of value and
should not be relied upon as measures of realizable value. No assurance is or
can be given as to actual cash flow of the Mortgaged Properties or the actual
value of the Mortgaged Properties during the term of the Bonds or the life of
the Certificates.
NO PRINCIPAL AMORTIZATION
There will be no scheduled principal amortization of the Bonds prior to the
Stated Maturity Date. The entire principal amount of the Bonds is scheduled to
be paid on the Stated Maturity Date. The Borrower's (or, after a Permitted
Merger and Security Release, MAALP's) ability to pay the Bonds on the Stated
Maturity Date will be subject to its ability to refinance the Bonds or sell the
Mortgaged Properties (or, in MAALP's case, after a Permitted Merger and Security
Release, to sell other assets, generally) at that time. If the Borrower (or,
after a Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP) is unable to refinance the
Bonds or sell the Mortgaged Properties or other assets, as the case may be, or
the proceeds from any such sale or refinancing are insufficient to pay the Bonds
in full in a timely manner, the holders of the Certificates or, after a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, holders of the Bonds may not receive full
24
repayment of the principal amount of the Certificate or Bonds, as the case may
be, on the Expected Final Distribution Date or Stated Maturity Date, as the case
may be.
UNINSURED LOSS; SUFFICIENCY OF INSURANCE
The Borrower, through blanket policies, carries comprehensive general
public liability insurance, fire and extended coverage insurance, business
interruption insurance, worker's compensation insurance, employer's liability
insurance and other insurance (the "Required Insurance Policies") required
under the Indenture, Mortgages and other security documents (collectively, the
"Security Documents") with respect to the Mortgaged Properties with policy
specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties.
There are, however, certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature
(such as from floods, earthquakes and wars), that may be uninsurable and there
is therefore a risk of uninsured or underinsured losses. Should an uninsured or
underinsured loss occur, the Borrower could lose both its capital invested in,
and anticipated profits from, one or more Mortgaged Properties, and the
Borrower's ability to make required interest and principal payments on the Bonds
could be adversely affected. There is a possibility of casualty losses with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties for which insurance proceeds may not be
adequate. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any loss incurred will
not exceed the limits of policies obtained. In addition, inflation, changes in
building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors
may make it unfeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a Mortgaged Property
after such property has been damaged or destroyed.
RATINGS OF THE CERTIFICATES
It is a condition to the issuance of the Certificates that they be assigned
a rating no lower than "Baa2" by Moody's and a rating no lower than "BBB" by
S&P. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and
may be subject to downgrade, withdrawal or requalification at any time by the
assigning rating organization as a result of changes in, or the unavailability
of, information. Neither Moody's nor S&P is rating the likelihood of receipt or
the timing of receipt by the holders of the Certificates of Default Interest
payable in connection with a default under the Bonds in excess of the regular
interest. Moody's has rated the Certificates through the Scheduled Final
Distribution Date. S&P has rated the Certificates through the Expected Final
Distribution Date.
The ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies are based
solely on the anticipated performance of the Mortgaged Properties. Future events
could have an adverse impact on the ratings of the Certificates. There is no
assurance that any such rating will continue for any period of time or that it
will not be reviewed, revised, suspended or withdrawn entirely as a result of
changes in or unavailability of information by either Rating Agency if, in its
judgment, circumstances so warrant. The ratings do not represent an assessment
of the likelihood or frequency of principal prepayments on the Bonds or the
corresponding effect on the yield to investors. There is no obligation on behalf
of the Depositor or the Trustee to maintain any particular rating. A review,
revision, suspension or withdrawal of a rating may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Certificates but will not constitute an event of default
under the Security Documents.
CHANGE IN RATING FOLLOWING PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE
The Certificates, as a condition to issuance, must be rated no lower than
"Baa2" and "BBB" by Moody's and S&P, respectively; however, one of the
conditions to a Permitted Merger and Security Release is that MAALP's unsecured
debt, including the Bonds, must be rated not less than "Baa3" and "BBB-" by
Moody's and S&P, respectively, which are lower ratings than those of the
Certificates, when issued.
RISKS OF BANKRUPTCY OF THE BORROWER AND THE GENERAL PARTNER
In the event of the bankruptcy of the Borrower or its General Partner, the
application of certain provisions of the bankruptcy code could have a material
adverse effect on holders of the Bonds and, consequently, holders of the
Certificates. By reason of the "automatic stay" provisions (which could
significantly delay the Indenture Trustee's ability to cause the liquidation of
the Mortgaged Properties) and
25
other provisions of the bankruptcy code, delays in payments on the Bonds and
reductions in the principal balances thereof (each of which could be
significant) could occur. It is also possible that the bankruptcy trustee or the
Borrower as debtor-in-possession could argue, and the bankruptcy court could
agree, that, notwithstanding the existence of a security interest in the
Mortgaged Properties' receivables, the "equities of the case" provision in the
bankruptcy code dictates that the Bondholders' security interest should not
extend post-petition.
The Borrower has agreed to restrict its business to the ownership,
operation and financing of the Mortgaged Properties and those activities related
or incidental to that business. Similarly, the certificate of incorporation of
the General Partner generally limits its permitted activities to serving as the
general partner of the Borrower. The General Partner has two independent
directors. There is and can be no assurance, however, that either the Borrower
or the General Partner will not become bankrupt or insolvent.
The Borrower and its owners have several affiliates, including MAAC and
MAALP. Although the Borrower has been structured so as to limit the possibility
that it will be a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding other than for reasons
related to the ownership of the Mortgaged Properties, there is and can be no
assurance that, in a bankruptcy of such owners or any of their affiliates, the
Mortgaged Properties will be protected from the creditors of such owners or
affiliates.
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE STATUTES
The transfer and pledge of the Mortgaged Properties and the issuance of the
Bonds and Certificates are subject to review under relevant federal and state
fraudulent conveyance statutes ("Fraudulent Conveyance Statutes") in a
bankruptcy case involving, or a lawsuit by creditors of, the Borrower, the
Depositor, the General Partner, MAALP or MAAC. Generally, under Fraudulent
Conveyance Statutes, transfers made or indebtedness incurred by a person will be
subject to avoidance if (i) the transfer was made or the indebtedness incurred
with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (ii)(a) the
debtor did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for
incurring such indebtedness and (b) the debtor (1) was insolvent or rendered
insolvent by the transfer or the incurrence of such indebtedness, (2) had
unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business and any
transaction or transactions in which it intended to engage or (3) intended to
incur, or believed it would incur, indebtedness beyond its ability to repay such
indebtedness at maturity. The measure of insolvency will vary depending on the
law of the applicable jurisdiction. Generally, however, an entity would be
considered insolvent if the present fair value of its assets is less than (i)
the amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities discounted by
the likelihood of the contingency becoming actual) or (ii) the amount that would
be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become
absolute and mature. Fraudulent conveyance related claims against the Mortgaged
Properties may not be covered by title insurance policies.
If the transfer of the Mortgaged Properties by MAALP to the Borrower were
avoided under Fraudulent Conveyance Statutes, the Borrower could be required to
disgorge its ownership interest in the Mortgaged Properties, thereby negatively
impacting the Borrower's ability to make payments of principal and interest on
the Bonds. Moreover, if the pledge of the Mortgaged Properties or the issuance
of the Bonds by the Borrower was avoided under Fraudulent Conveyance Statutes,
the Bonds would no longer be secured by the Mortgaged Properties and would
constitute merely unsecured claims against the Borrower, which in bankruptcy are
likely to be paid at a significant discount from their face value.
LACK OF ESTABLISHED MARKET
There is currently no secondary market for the Certificates. The
Underwriter currently expects to make a secondary market in the Certificates,
but has no obligation to do so. There can be no assurance that such a market
will develop or, if it does develop, that it will continue.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED THROUGHOUT THIS PROSPECTUS ARE SUMMARIES OF
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT, THE CERTIFICATES, THE MORTGAGES AND
THE BONDS. THE DEPOSITOR BELIEVES THAT THE FOLLOWING
26
DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES INCLUDES ALL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
CERTIFICATES, BUT SUCH STATEMENTS DO NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND ARE
QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO SUCH AGREEMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS.
GENERAL
The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement in an
aggregate principal amount of U.S. $142,000,000. The Certificates represent
beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust, which consists exclusively of
the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $142,000,000. The Bonds will be
issued pursuant to the Indenture and, unless and until the occurrence of a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, will be secured by the Mortgage Liens on
the Mortgaged Properties. The Borrower was organized for the sole purpose of
owning, operating and financing the Mortgaged Properties, incurring the MSMC
Loan and issuing the Bonds which are secured by the Mortgage Liens. See
"Description of the Bonds."
The Indenture provides that the Mortgage Liens securing the Bonds will be
subject to the Security Release upon satisfaction of certain conditions and at
the time described below in "Description of the Bonds -- Permitted Merger and
Security Release." There can be no assurance that the conditions to a Permitted
Merger and Security Release will be satisfied or that a Permitted Merger and
Security Release will ever occur. See "Risk Factors -- Failure to Satisfy
Conditions to Permittted Merger and Security Release. Simultaneously with a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Trust will terminate, the Trustee
will deliver the Bonds to the holders of the Certificates through the book-entry
facilities described herein, as a distribution in full satisfaction of their
beneficial interests in the Trust, and the Global Certificate will be canceled
by the Trustee and delivered to the Depositor, and will be of no further force
or effect. At such time, the persons formerly owning beneficial interests in the
Certificates will, by operation of the Trust Termination and with no action
being required on their parts, own beneficial interests in the Bonds. See
"Book-Entry Clearance and Settlement."
STATUS
The Certificates will evidence, in the aggregate, all of the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust. The Certificates will be payable solely from
payments received by the Trustee with respect to the Bonds and will not
represent obligations of the Borrower, any general or limited partner of the
Borrower or any affiliate thereof or any other person.
FORM, DENOMINATIONS, EXCHANGE, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
The Certificates will be issued, maintained and transferred in the
book-entry form only in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. The Certificates will be represented by one Global
Certificate registered in the name of a nominee designated by DTC. No holder of
a Certificate will be entitled to receive a certificate issued in fully
registered, certificated form (a "Definitive Certificate") representing its
interest in the Certificates, except under the limited circumstances described
below under "Book Entry Issuance, Clearance and Settlement -- Definitive
Certificates and Bonds." Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in
respect of the Certificates, all transfers of Certificates will be cleared and
settled through the facilities of DTC, CEDEL and Euroclear. See "Book-Entry
Issuance, Clearance and Settlement."
PAYMENTS ON THE CERTIFICATES
Upon receipt of payments required to be made on the Bonds, the Trustee will
pay such amounts to holders of the Certificates through the facilities of DTC.
The Trustee will make all payments with respect to the Certificates to DTC or
its nominee as the registered owner thereof. None of the Borrower, the
Depositor, MAALP, MAAC, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in
the Global Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
27
The Depositor expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment
in respect of the Global Certificate held by it or its nominee, will immediately
credit the accounts of DTC participants (including Euroclear and CEDEL and their
respective depositories) with payments in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of Global Certificate as
shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. The Depositor also expects that
payments by DTC participants (including Euroclear and CEDEL and their respective
depositories) to owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificate held
through such DTC participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the case with respect to securities held for the
accounts of customers registered in street names. Such payments will be the
responsibility of the relevant DTC participant.
If a Definitive Certificate is issued in exchange for any portion of the
Global Certificate after the close of business at the office or agency where
such exchange occurs on (i) any Certificate Record Date and before the opening
of business at such office or agency on the related Distribution Date or (ii)
any special record date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of Default Interest, such
interest or Default Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Distribution Date or proposed date for payment of Default Interest, as the case
may be, in respect of such Certificate, but will be payable on such Distribution
Date or proposed date for payment of Default Interest, as the case may be, only
to DTC with respect to the Global Certificate, and the Depositor understands
that DTC will undertake to credit such interest to the account of the person who
was the beneficial owner of such portion of the Global Certificate on such
Record Date or special record date, as the case may be.
So long as the Certificates are held through DTC's book entry system,
distributions of interest and principal (and Default Interest, if any) on the
Certificates will be made, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire
transfer from the Trustee to DTC and will be forwarded to investors in
accordance with the payment procedures of DTC and the applicable DTC
participant.
If any Certificate is not held through DTC, distributions of interest (and
Default Interest, if any) on such Certificate will be made, subject to the
applicable laws and regulations, to the person in whose name such Certificate is
registered in the register of the Certificates as of the close of business on
the Certificate Record Date, upon compliance by such holder with reasonable
requirements of the Trustee, by wire transfer to the account designated by such
holder, and otherwise by check mailed to the address of such person. With
respect to the final payment of the Certificates, upon compliance by such holder
with reasonable requirements of the Trustee, such payment will be made by wire
transfer to the account designated by the person in whose name the Certificates
are registered in the register of the Certificates as of such date and otherwise
by check mailed to the address of such person, against surrender of such
Certificate at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in Chicago, Illinois.
Payments on any Certificate will be payable to the person in whose name the
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
immediately preceding each Payment Date; provided, however, that payments at
maturity will be payable to the person in whose name the Certificate is
registered at such time.
EXPECTED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE
The Expected Final Distribution Date for the Certificates is March 3, 2003,
which is the Stated Maturity Date of the Bonds. The Expected Final Distribution
Date is based on an assumption that the entire Principal Amount of the Bonds,
together with accrued interest and other amounts owed in respect of the Bonds,
will be paid on the Stated Maturity Date.
SCHEDULED FINAL DISTRIBUTION DATE
The Scheduled Final Distribution Date for the Certificates is September 1,
2005, two and one-half years after the Expected Final Distribution Date. If the
unpaid principal balance on the Bonds is paid after the Expected Final
Distribution Date and prior to the Scheduled Final Distribution Date, the
Certificates are required to be paid on the next Payment Date. See "Description
of the Bonds -- Payment on the Bonds --
28
Term and Prepayment Lockout." The Trust Agreement also provides that any
amounts received by the Trustee after the Scheduled Final Distribution Date will
be distributed prior to termination of the Trust. The ratings of Moody's and S&P
address the likelihood of the timely receipt by Certificate holders of all
payments (other than Default Interest) to which such holders are entitled by two
different dates: the Scheduled Final Distribution Date, in the case of Moody's,
and the Expected Final Distribution Date, in the case of S&P.
EXCESS FUNDS
The Trustee is required to hold payments received by it with respect to the
Certificates which are not distributed upon repayment in full of the Bonds in a
segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the "Holdover Account") in the
Trustee's name for the benefit of the holders of such Certificates. All such
monies so held by the Trustee and which remain unclaimed for a period of two
years after the final distribution of such Certificates (or such shorter period
as may be prescribed by applicable law) will be distributed by the Trustee to
the Depositor as provided in the Trust Agreement.
AMENDMENT
The Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and
the Trustee with the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate
principal amount of Certificates outstanding for the purpose of adding any
provision to or changing in any manner or eliminating any provision of the Trust
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the
Certificates; provided, that no such amendment will:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on the Bonds which are required to be distributed with
respect to the Certificates without the consent of each affected
Certificate holder;
(ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Certificates the holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all Certificates then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust
under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code.
The Trust Agreement provides that the parties thereto may agree, without
the consent of the holders of the Certificates, to any modification (subject to
certain exceptions) of the Trust Agreement or the Certificates, (i) to add to
the covenants for the benefit of the Trustee or surrender any right or power of
the Depositor, provided that such surrender will not adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Certificates, (ii) to evidence and provide for
the appointment and acceptance of any successor Trustee or (iii) to cure any
ambiguity or cure or correct any defective or inconsistent provision in the
Trust Agreement or any Certificate provided such action will not adversely
affect the interests of the holders of the Certificates.
The Trustee may not consent to any amendment or modification of the Trust
Agreement which would adversely affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for
federal income tax purposes.
In determining whether any change adversely affects the interests of
holders of the Certificates, the Trustee will rely upon written confirmation of
the Rating Agencies that such change will not result in the downgrading,
withdrawal or requalification of the rating on each class of Certificates then
outstanding and affected thereby.
INDEMNIFICATION
The Trust Agreement contains provisions for the indemnification of the
Trustee by the Trust and for relief for it from responsibility in certain
circumstances, including provisions relieving it from instituting proceedings to
enforce payment unless indemnified to its satisfaction.
29
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR ASSUMPTION
The Depositor will not consolidate or merge with any other corporation or
other entity or permit any other corporation or entity to merge into it, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to any person except as permitted by the Trust Agreement.
NOTICES
The Trustee will cause all notices to the holders of the Certificates to be
mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested to each
holder as its address appears on the security register or alternatively, will
publish notice in a financial newspaper of national circulation once per week
for at least two consecutive weeks.
TRUST TERMINATION
Simultaneously with a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Trust will
terminate. If a Permitted Merger and Security Release occurs, the Trustee will
deliver the Bonds to holders of the Certificates, without any action on the part
of Certificate holders, by means of the book-entry facilities described herein,
as distribution in full satisfaction of their beneficial interests in the Trust.
The Global Certificate evidencing the Certificates will be canceled at that time
by the Trustee and delivered to the Depositor and will be of no further force
and effect.
ACTION BY TRUSTEE PRIOR TO PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE
If, prior to a permitted Merger and Security Release, any event occurs that
gives rise to any right of Bondholders to act under the Indenture, the Trustee,
as legal owner of the Bonds, shall inform the Certificate holders of such event
and seek instruction from the Certificate holders regarding how to proceed. If
the Trustee receives direction from the Certificate holders beneficially owning
the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required to take an action pursuant
to the Indenture, then the Trustee, as legal owner of the Bonds, will take such
action.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS
CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED THROUGHOUT THIS PROSPECTUS ARE SUMMARIES OF
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE AND THE BONDS. THE BORROWER AND THE
DEPOSITOR BELIEVE THAT THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS INCLUDES ALL OF
THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE BONDS, BUT SUCH STATEMENTS DO NOT PURPORT TO BE
COMPLETE AND ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO SUCH AGREEMENTS AND
INSTRUMENTS.
GENERAL
The Bonds are to be issued under the Indenture, which has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), is incorporated by
reference herein, and is available for inspection at the corporate trust office
of the Trustee at 135 LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60674-4107. The
Indenture is subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended. The statements made hereunder relating to the Indenture and the Bonds
to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain provisions thereof and do not
purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to, all provisions of the Indenture and the Bonds. All section
references appearing herein are to sections of the Indenture.
The Bonds will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $142,000,000
and will mature on March 1, 2003. Until a Permitted Merger and Security Release,
the Bonds will be secured by (i) first priority mortgage liens on the Borrower's
fee interest in 26 Mortgaged Properties, including each of the parcels of land
on which the Mortgaged Properties are situated, (ii) liens and security
interests in all related assets, including buildings and improvements thereon,
(iii) an assignment of rents and leases from the Mortgaged Properties, and (iv)
the funds and investments, if any, in certain Accounts. Upon the occurrence of a
Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Bonds will become the general
unsecured obligations of MAALP ranking in parity with all other unsecured
indebtedness of MAALP, and Bondholders will have no claim against the Mortgaged
Properties or any other property of MAALP except as general unsecured creditors
of MAALP. The Bonds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Depositor, the
Borrower, the
30
General Partner, MAALP, MAAC, the Indenture Trustee, the Trustee or the
Underwriter or any of their affiliates, or by any governmental entity or
instrumentality or by any other person or entity.
PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE
The Indenture provides that a Permitted Merger and Security Release will
occur if and when each of the following conditions, among others, occurs: (i)
the unsecured debt of MAALP, including the Bonds, is rated at least "Baa3" and
"BBB-" by Moody's and S&P, respectively; and (ii) MAALP is a reporting company
under the Exchange Act pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form
10 (or any successor form).
The ability of MAALP to procure the required ratings of its unsecured debt,
including the Bonds, is subject to satisfaction of the criteria for such ratings
as may be imposed from time to time by Moody's and S&P. MAALP believes such
criteria include ownership by MAALP directly or through subsidiaries of
substantially all of the real estate assets currently owned by MAAC and
satisfaction of certain leverage and equity ratios. The rating criteria
established by Moody's and S&P are subject to change from time to time in the
sole discretion of the Rating Agencies, and such criteria are outside the
control of MAALP and may not be satisfied by MAALP prior to repayment of the
Bonds in full. In connection with the FDC Merger, MAAC has agreed not to
transfer certain apartment communities or interests in property-owning
partnerships to MAALP until November 1999. MAAC and MAALP believe that the
inability of MAAC to transfer those assets to MAALP and operate exclusively
through its UPREIT structure will preclude MAALP from obtaining the ratings from
the Rating Agencies necessary to effect a Permitted Merger and Security Release.
Therefore, MAALP believes that before November 1999 MAALP cannot, and there can
be no assurance that MAALP will thereafter, procure the required ratings and
effect a Permitted Merger and Security Release.
The Borrower is required to give written notice of an anticipated Permitted
Merger and Security Release to the Certificate holders at least 60 days prior to
the Permitted Merger and Security Release, which notice will be accompanied by
the Post-Effective Prospectus. Upon proof of proper notice and delivery of the
Post-Effective Prospectus and satisfaction of certain other conditions, the
Indenture Trustee will release the Mortgage Liens, the Permitted Merger will
occur, and MAALP will assume the obligations under the Bonds. At such time, the
Bonds will be the general unsecured obligations of MAALP ranking in parity with
all other unsecured debt of MAALP. Neither the Permitted Merger nor the Security
Release may occur if Advances are outstanding.
FORM, DENOMINATIONS, EXCHANGE, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
The Bonds will be issued, maintained and transferred in book-entry form
only in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The Bonds will be represented by one Global Bond registered in the name
of a nominee designated by DTC. No holder of a Bond will be entitled to receive
a Bond issued in fully registered, certificated form (a "Definitive Bond")
representing its interest in the Bonds, except under the limited circumstances
described below under "Book Entry Issuance, Clearance and
Settlement -- Definitive Certificates and Bonds." Unless and until Definitive
Bonds are issued in respect of the Bonds, all transfers of Bonds will be cleared
and settled through the facilities of DTC, CEDEL and Euroclear. See "Book-Entry
Issuance, Clearance and Settlement."
PAYMENT ON THE BONDS
PAYMENTS OF INTEREST. The Bonds will bear interest at the rate per annum
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, payable monthly on each Payment
Date with respect to interest accrued from the preceding Payment Date (or the
date of original issuance in the case of the first Payment Date) through the day
immediately preceding the Payment Date to Bondholders of record on the related
Record Date. Interest on the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. The Bonds will mature and the entire principal
amount of the Bonds will be due and payable on March 1, 2003.
31
PAYMENTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PHYSICAL CERTIFICATES. If the Bonds are no
longer represented by the Global Bond, payments of interest, at the option of
the Borrower, may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds,
but the Borrower may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
TERM AND PREPAYMENT LOCKOUT. The Bonds are non-callable for a period of
five (5) years, and the entire unpaid principal balance of the Bonds will be due
and payable on the Stated Maturity Date. There is no sinking fund for the Bonds,
and the Bonds are not subject to prepayment or principal amortization except
upon the occurrence of the certain events of default under the Indenture.
PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS; CASH MANAGEMENT
The Borrower has irrevocably instructed the property manager at each
Mortgaged Property to deposit into the applicable Property Account (i) all rents
due under the Leases; (ii) all additional amounts, if any, due and payable under
the Leases; and (iii) all other revenue derived from the Mortgaged Properties.
All funds in each Property Account will be transferred to the Operating Account
on a daily basis.
Prior to a Cash Management Period, all money from the Operating Account
will be transferred by automated clearinghouse transfer to such accounts as the
Borrower may direct on a daily basis in accordance with its standing
instructions to the Account Bank. During a Cash Management Period which follows
an event described in clause (i) of the next succeeding paragraph, funds in the
Operating Account will be transferred to such accounts as the Borrower may
direct on the Business Day following each Account Funding Date. During a Cash
Management Period which follows an event described in clause (ii) or (iii)
below, no funds may be transferred from the Operating Account except at the
direction of the Indenture Trustee or its agent.
A Cash Management Period is a period during which (i) the Borrower fails to
maintain a Pre-Permitted Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.30 to
1 or (ii) an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Bonds, the
Indenture or any Security Document or (iii) any event has occurred and is
continuing which obligates or permits the Indenture Trustee to make an Advance.
Pursuant to the Cash Collateral Account Agreement, during any Cash
Management Period, the Borrower, has instructed the Account Bank to withdraw
from the Operating Account, in the priority listed below and to the extent
available therein, by 10:00 a.m. New York on each Account Funding Date, (i)
funds in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual amount of interest on the
Bonds outstanding at the time less the amount of funds on deposit in the
Interest Escrow Account and deposit the same into the Interest Escrow Account;
(ii) funds in an amount equal to the tax payments and insurance premiums
required to be paid during the six months following such Account Funding Date
less funds on deposit in the Mortgage Escrow Account and deposit the same into
the Mortgage Escrow Account; and (iii) funds in an amount equal to one-half of
the annual amount required to be escrowed during any Cash Management Period to
fund replacements pursuant to each Mortgage less the amount on deposit in the
Replacement Reserve Account and deposit the same into the Replacement Reserve
Account.
The Indenture provides that the Borrower will deposit each monthly payment
on the Bonds with the Indenture Trustee by 10:00 a.m. New York time on the
Payment Date for disbursement to holders of the Bonds. The Indenture also
provides that the Indenture Trustee will apply any amounts so received and any
other amount received pursuant to the Indenture excluding fees of the Indenture
Trustee which are paid by the Borrower in a timely fashion, but including,
without limitation, amounts in the Operating Account and the other Accounts and
payments in respect of the liquidation, if any, of the Mortgaged Properties, in
the following order:
FIRST: to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any unreimbursed
Advances, plus interest thereon at the Advance Rate;
SECOND: to make payments, if any are required, from the Accounts as
provided in the Cash Collateral Agreement;
32
THIRD: to make payments of interest on the Bonds in accordance with
their terms;
FOURTH: to make payments of principal on the Bonds, to the extent any
such payments are due;
FIFTH: to make payments of Default Interest on the Bonds, to the
extent any such payments are due; and
SIX: to pay any other amounts due and owing under the Indenture.
COVENANTS
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Borrower and, after a Permitted Merger and
Security Release, MAALP are subject to the following covenants, as applicable:
MAINTENANCE OF LIENS PRIOR TO PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. Prior
to a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Borrower is required to maintain
and preserve the first priority of the Mortgage Liens and security interests
created by the Security Documents.
LIMITATION ON DEBT PRIOR TO PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. Prior
to a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Borrower is not permitted to
incur or permit to exist any indebtedness, except pursuant to the Bonds or trade
accounts payable which are paid in full no more than 60 days after the date on
which such accounts payable are created.
LIMITATION ON DEBT FROM AND AFTER PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY
RELEASE. From and after a Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP is
prohibited from incurring any indebtedness (except inter-company indebtedness
that is subordinate to the Bonds) if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such additional indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding indebtedness of MAALP and its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis is greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the cost (original cost plus capital
improvements) of real estate assets of MAALP and its subsidiaries before
depreciation and amortization, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and (ii) all other
assets of MAALP and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in
accordance with GAAP (but excluding intangibles and accounts receivable)
(collectively, "Total Assets").
LIMITATION ON SECURED DEBT FROM AND AFTER PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY
RELEASE. From and after a Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP is
prohibited from incurring any indebtedness secured by any mortgage, lien,
charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind ("Secured Debt")
if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured
Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt is greater
than 40% of MAALP's Total Assets.
MINIMUM UNENCUMBERED ASSETS FROM AND AFTER PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY
RELEASE. From and after a Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP is
required to maintain Total Assets which are not encumbered by any pledge,
mortgage or other encumbrance ("Total Unencumbered Assets") of not less than
150% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness which is
not Secured Debt.
DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE PRIOR TO PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. If
at any time prior to a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the ratio of (a)
the excess of all revenue derived from the Mortgaged Properties for the four
most recent trailing quarters over all expenses during such period assuming a
management fee of 4% of revenue and a $200 per apartment unit capital
expenditure reserve per year to (b) the amount of debt service on the Bonds then
outstanding (based on an assumed annual debt service constant of 9.25% per
annum) (the "Pre-Permitted Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio") of the
Borrower is less than 1.30 to 1, the Indenture Trustee will deliver a written
notice to the Account Bank (the "Trigger Notice") under the Cash Collateral
Agreement. At such time, funds in the Operating Account will be transferred to
the Accounts and any funds deposited into the Operating Account in the future
will be transferred from the Accounts only in accordance with the Cash
Collateral Agreement. If at any time after such delivery of a Trigger Notice the
Pre-Permitted Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than
1.30 to 1, the Indenture Trustee will promptly deliver notice to the Account
Bank under the Cash Collateral Agreement and the future funding of the Accounts
will cease.
33
If at any time prior to the Permitted Merger and Security Release, the
Pre-Permitted Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Borrower is less than
1.15 to 1, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon direction from the holders of 25%
in principal amount of the Bonds, will upon ten days' prior written notice to
the Borrower and each property manager of the Mortgaged Properties, terminate or
cause the termination of all such property managers and require the Borrower to
retain a different manager or managers satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or
such holders of the Bonds.
DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE FROM AND AFTER PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY
RELEASE. From and after any Permitted Merger and Security Release, MAALP and
its subsidiaries are prohibited from incurring any indebtedness if the
Post-Permitted Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined below) for the
four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which
such additional indebtedness is to be incurred has been less than 1.50 to 1, on
a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness and
to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption
that (i) such indebtedness and any other indebtedness incurred by MAALP or its
subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application
of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other indebtedness, had
occurred at the beginning of such period; (ii) the repayment or retirement of
any other indebtedness by MAALP or its subsidiaries since the first day of such
four-quarter period had been incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of
such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of indebtedness
under any revolving credit facility will be computed based upon the average
daily balance of such indebtedness during such period); (iii) the income earned
on any increase in Total Assets since the end of such four-quarter period,
including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset
purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of
indebtedness had occurred on the first day of such period with the appropriate
adjustment with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in
such pro forma calculation. The term "Post-Permitted Merger Debt Service
Coverage Ratio" means the ratio of (i) (a) the amount of consolidated net
income (or loss) of MAALP and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for such
period plus (b) amounts which have been deducted for (1) interest or
indebtedness of MAALP and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (2)
provision for taxes based on income; (3) amortization of indebtedness discount;
(4) provisions for gains and losses on properties; (5) depreciation and
amortization; (6) the effect of any noncash charge resulting from a change in
accounting principles; and (7) amortization of deferred charges to (ii) the
amount which is expensed in any 12-month period for interest on indebtedness of
MAALP and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND NOTICE
An "Event of Default" is defined in the Indenture to be (i) a default in
the payment of any interest upon any of the Bonds when due and payable; (ii) a
default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the
Bonds when the same becomes due and payable at the Stated Maturity Date; (iii)
the Borrower consolidates with or merges with or into, or conveys, transfers or
leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person or entity in any
transaction other than a Permitted Merger; (iv) the Borrower fails to observe or
perform certain covenants contained in the Indenture regarding the maintenance
of liens and recording, limitation on debt, limitation on Secured Debt, Total
Unencumbered Assets, debt service coverage, the formation of subsidiaries, and
amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement; (v) the Borrower fails to
observe or perform any of its covenants set forth in the Bonds or the Indenture
(other than those referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) and
such default, if subject to being cured, continues for a period of 30 days after
the earlier of knowledge by the Borrower thereof or notice thereof from the
Indenture Trustee to the Borrower; PROVIDED that if such Default is not subject
to being cured within such 30-day period and the Borrower (a) has delivered an
Officers' Certificate to the Indenture Trustee (1) certifying that such Default
is reasonably subject to cure and that the Borrower has commenced such cure and
(2) setting forth those actions the Borrower has taken and will take to pursue
such cure and (b) pursues such cure diligently to completion, then such 30-day
period will be extended for an additional period of 60 days; (vi) following the
Permitted Merger, MAALP defaults under any indebtedness for money borrowed by
MAALP if (a) such default either (1) results from the failure to pay the
principal of any such indebtedness at its stated maturity or (2) relates to an
obligation other than the obligation to pay the
34
principal of such indebtedness at its stated maturity and results in such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable (b) the principal amount of
such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated maturity or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $1,000,000 or more at any
one time outstanding and (c) such indebtedness is not discharged, or such
acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within 10 Business Days after written
notice as provided in the Indenture; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization relating to the Borrower; (viii) an event of
default occurs and is continuing under the Security Documents; (ix) any
representation, warranty or other statement made by or on behalf of the Borrower
set forth in the Indenture or any other Security Document proves to have been
false or misleading in any material respect as of the date when made; (x) any
judgment of decree for the payment of money in excess of $100,000 not covered by
insurance is rendered against the Borrower and is not discharged and either (a)
an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment
or decree or (b) there is a period of 60 days following such judgment or decree
during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or execution
thereof stayed; or (xi) the General Partner fails to comply with certain
provisions of its certificate of incorporation.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause
(vii) of the preceding paragraph) will occur and be continuing, either the
Indenture Trustee, by notice to the Borrower, or the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds by notice to the Indenture Trustee and
the Borrower may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all of the
Bonds and all other amounts due thereunder to be due and payable; provided, that
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of the
preceding paragraph, the principal or and accrued interest on all of the Bonds
will automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are waived by the Borrower.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (i) the recision would not
conflict with any judgment or decree; (ii) no amount has been paid to the
holders as principal, interest, or premium, if any, on the Bonds as a result of
such acceleration; (iii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of acceleration; and (iv) all costs and expenses incurred by the
Indenture Trustee prior to such waiver have been reimbursed to the Indenture
Trustee.
A holder of the Bonds may not pursue any remedy with respect to the
Indenture or the Bonds unless: (i) the holder gives to the Indenture Trustee
written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; (ii) the holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds make a written request to the
Indenture Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such holder or holders offer to
the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss,
liability or expense; (iv) the Indenture Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of
security or indemnity; and (v) the holders of a majority of principal amount of
the Bonds do not give the Indenture Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request during such 60-day period.
The Borrower is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee annually a
statement as to the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the
Indenture and as to any default in such performance.
SERVICER
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or any event requiring the
Indenture Trustee to exercise any discretion to give its consent or to act or
refrain from acting under any Mortgage, in any case prior to a Permitted Merger
and Security Release, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the
holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will, appoint
a servicer at the expense of the Borrower.
35
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS
The Indenture permits the Borrower (when authorized pursuant to a
resolution of the General Partner's Board of Directors) and the Indenture
Trustee, at any time and from time to time, to enter into one or more amendments
or supplements to the Indenture, in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee
for the following purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another person or
entity to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the assumption
by any such successor of the covenants of the Borrower contained in the Bonds
and the Indenture; (ii) to add to the covenants of the Borrower for the benefit
of the holders of all or any of the Bonds or to surrender any right or power
conferred upon the Borrower by the Indenture; (iii) to add any additional Events
of Default for the benefit of the holders of all or any of the Bonds; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in respect of any such additional Events of Default such amendment
or supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after
default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or
may limit the remedies available to the Indenture Trustee upon such default or
may limit the rights of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds; (iv) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of
a successor indenture trustee as provided in the Indenture; (v) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture
which will not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, PROVIDED
such provisions will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the
Bonds in any material respect; or (vi) to supplement any of the provisions of
the Indenture to the extent as will be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of the Bonds pursuant to and subject to the terms of
the Indenture, PROVIDEDthat any such action will not adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Bonds in any material respect.
The Indenture permits the Borrower and the Indenture Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Bonds (or, prior to a Permitted Merger, with the consent of the Trustee acting
as instructed by holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Certificates), to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders
of the Bonds, provided that the Indenture Trustee has first received written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action will not, in and of
itself, cause the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of their current rating
of the Certificates or, after a Permitted Merger, the unsecured indebtedness of
MAALP, and except that no such modification or amendment may, without the
consent of the holders of each of the Bonds affected thereby, among other
things, (i) reduce the amount of the Bonds whose holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for
payment of interest on the Bonds; (iii) reduce the principal of or extend the
fixed maturity of the Bonds; (iv) reduce the premium payable on the Bonds; (v)
make the Bonds payable in money other than that stated in the Bonds; (vi) make
any changes to Section 5.04, Section 5.07 or Section 8.02 of the Indenture;
(vii) waive any default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Bond
or any default depriving the Indenture Trustee or any holder of a lien upon any
of the Mortgaged Properties; or (viii) release any Mortgaged Properties from the
Mortgages Liens, except in accordance with the terms thereof and of the
Indenture.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds may on behalf of
the holders of all the Bonds waive compliance by the Borrower with certain
restrictive provisions of the Indenture. The holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Bonds may on behalf of the holders of all the Bonds waive any past
default under the Indenture and its consequences, except (i) a default in the
payment of the principal of or any interest on any Bond; (ii) a default
depriving the Indenture Trustee or any holder of a lien upon any of the
Mortgaged Properties; or (iii) a default in respect of any covenant or provision
which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the holder of each Bond affected.
36
DEFEASANCE
The Indenture provides for defeasance of the Bonds at any time prior to the
Stated Maturity Date, upon the compliance by the Borrower with the following
conditions: (i) an irrevocable deposit with the Indenture Trustee of cash or
U.S. government securities sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on
the Bonds to the Stated Maturity Date, (ii) delivery to the Indenture Trustee of
a certificate from independent accountants stating that payments derived from
such deposited cash or securities will be sufficient to pay principal and
interest when due on the Bonds to the Stated Maturity Date, (iii) delivery of
certain required opinions of counsel, (iv) receipt of written confirmation from
the Rating Agencies that such defeasance will not, in and of itself, cause the
withdrawal, downgrade or requalification of any rating of the Certificates or,
after a Permitted Merger, of the unsecured debt of MAALP, and (v) absence of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization relating to the Borrower.
PAYMENTS ON THE BONDS
All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Bonds will be made
by the Borrower in immediately available funds. The Bonds will trade in DTC's
Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity or until the Bonds are issued in
certificated form, and secondary market trading activity in the Bonds will
therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds.
BOOK ENTRY ISSUANCE, CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT
Holders of the Certificates (and after a Permitted Merger and Security
Release, holders of the Bonds) may hold their Certificates (or Bonds) directly
through DTC (for United States holders) and CEDEL and Euroclear (for European
holders) if they are participants in such systems ("Participants"), or
indirectly through organizations that are Participants ("Indirect
Participants"). CEDEL and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of
CEDEL Participants and Euroclear Participants through customers' securities
accounts in CEDEL's and Euroclear's name on the books of their respective
depositories (collectively, the "Depositories"), which in turn will hold such
positions in customers' securities accounts in the Depositories' names on the
books of DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of
the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New
York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its Participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between
Participants through electronic computerized book-entry changes in accounts of
its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers
(including the Underwriter), banks (including the Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee), trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other
organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Indirect
access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers,
dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect
Participant").
Upon the issuance of the Global Certificate and the Global Bond, DTC will
credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective
principal amounts of the Certificates represented by such Global Certificate to
the accounts of DTC Participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated
by the Underwriter. The account of the Trustee, as a Participant, will be
credited for the issuance of the Global Bond. Ownership of beneficial interests
in the Global Certificate and the Global Bond will be limited to DTC
Participants or Indirect Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the
Global Certificate and the Global Bond will be shown on, and the transfer of
those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by
DTC (with respect to DTC Participants' interests) or such DTC Participants (with
respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, and,
following the Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Global Bond, who own
such interests through Participants). The laws of some jurisdictions require
that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities
in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial
interests in the Global Certificate and Global Bond. Transfers between DTC
Participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers
37
between CEDEL Member Organizations and Euroclear Member Organizations will occur
in accordance with their applicable rules and operating procedures.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly
through DTC, on the one hand, and directly through CEDEL Participants or
Euroclear Participants on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with
DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by
its Depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of
to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in
such system in accordance with its rules and procedures. If the transaction
complies with all relevant requirements, CEDEL or Euroclear, as the case may be,
will then deliver instructions to the Depository to take action to effect final
settlement on its behalf.
Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in CEDEL or
Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made
during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day
following the DTC settlement date, and such credits or any transactions in such
securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant CEDEL
Participant or Euroclear Participant on such business day. Cash received in
CEDEL or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a CEDEL
Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received
with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant
CEDEL or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement
in DTC.
The holders of Certificates or, following the Permitted Merger and Security
Release, Bonds that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but desire to
purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in,
Certificates or Bonds may do so only through Participants and Indirect
Participants. In addition, holders of Certificates or, following the Permitted
Merger and Security Release, Bonds will receive all distributions of principal
and interest from the Trustee (or Indenture Trustee, following the Permitted
Merger and Security Release) through the Participants, who in turn will receive
them from DTC. Under a book-entry format, holders of Certificates or Bonds may
experience some delay in their receipt of payments since such payments will be
forwarded by the Trustee or Indenture Trustee to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.
DTC will forward such payments to its Participants, which thereafter will
forward them to Indirect Participants or beneficial owners of Certificates or
Bonds.
Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and
its operations (the "Rules"), DTC is required to make book-entry transfers of
Certificates or Bonds among Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to
the Certificates or Bonds and to receive and transmit distributions of principal
of, and interest on, the Certificates or Bonds. Participants and Indirect
Participants with which the holders of Certificates or Bonds have accounts with
respect to the Certificates or Bonds similarly are required to make book-entry
transfers and receive and transmit such payments on behalf of the respective
holders of Certificates or Bonds. Accordingly, although the holders of
Certificates or Bonds will not possess the Certificates or Bonds, the Rules
provide a mechanism by which Participants will receive payments on Certificates
or Bonds and will be able to transfer their interest.
Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on
behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a holder of
Certificates or Bonds to pledge such Certificates or Bonds to persons or
entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or to otherwise act with
respect to such Certificates or Bonds, may be limited due to the lack of
physical possession of such Certificates or Bonds.
CEDEL is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional
depository. CEDEL holds securities for its Participants and facilitates the
clearance and settlement of securities transactions between CEDEL Participants
through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of CEDEL, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for Participants of the
Euroclear system and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear
Participants though simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment.
Although DTC, CEDEL and Euroclear have implemented the foregoing procedures
in order to facilitate transfers of interests in global securities among
Participants of DTC and Participants of Euroclear
38
and CEDEL, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to comply with
such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of
the Depositor, the Trustee, Indenture Trustee, MAAC, MAALP or the Underwriter
will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or CEDEL or
their respective direct or indirect Participants or of their respective
obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. The
information herein concerning DTC, CEDEL and Euroclear and their book-entry
systems has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the
Depositor takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.
DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES AND BONDS
Definitive Certificates (or, following the Permitted Merger and Security
Release, Definitive Bonds), will be delivered to beneficial owners of the
Certificates (and, following the Permitted Merger and Security Release, the
Bonds) (or their nominees) only if (i) DTC is no longer willing or able properly
to discharge its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Certificates
or Bonds, as the case may be, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Trustee, or, following the Permitted Merger and Security
Release, the Indenture Trustee, at its sole option, elects to terminate the
book-entry system through DTC, or (iii) after the occurrence of an event of
default under the Trust Agreement, or, following the Permitted Merger and
Security Release, the Indenture, Certificate holders (or after the Permitted
Merger and Security Release, Bondholders) representing a majority in principal
amount of the Certificates (or Bonds, as the case may be) then outstanding
advise DTC through DTC Participants in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best
interest of such Certificate holders or Bondholders.
Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through
(iii) in the immediately preceding paragraph, DTC is required to notify all
affected DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Definitive
Certificates (or Definitive Bonds, as the case may be). Upon delivery of
Definitive Certificates (or Definitive Bonds, as the case may be), the Trustee
or Indenture Trustee and the registrar will recognize the holders of such
Definitive Certificates (or Definitive Bonds, as the case may be) as holder of
the Certificates or Bonds. Distributions of principal of and interest on the
Definitive Certificates (or Definitive Bonds) will be made by the Trustee (or
Indenture Trustee) directly to holders of Definitive Certificates (or Definitive
Bonds) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Trust Agreement (or
Indenture). Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i)
through (iii) in the immediately preceding paragraph, request for transfer of
Definitive Certificates or Definitive Bonds will be required to be submitted
directly to the registrar in a form acceptable to the registrar (such as the
forms which will appear on the back of the certificate representing a Definitive
Certificate or Definitive Bond), signed by the holder or such holder's legal
representative and accompanied by the Definitive Certificate or Certificates (or
Definitive Bond or Bonds) for which transfer is being requested.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTIES
The Mortgaged Properties consist of 26 apartment communities containing an
aggregate of 5,947 apartment units and have an average age of 12 years. The
Mortgaged Properties are primarily located in mid-size markets in the Southeast
and span 19 metropolitan areas across nine states. The Borrower believes that
the Mortgaged Properties are well positioned within their markets and feature an
appealing array of amenities, including swimming pools, washer/dryer
connections, fireplaces, tennis courts and fitness centers. Over the last three
years, average occupancy for the Mortgaged Properties has remained relatively
constant at approximately 95%.
MAAC, MAALP and their respective affiliates (collectively, the "Company")
have focused on owning, operating and acquiring apartment communities in
mid-size southeastern and Texas cities. The Company has implemented a practice
of having trained property managers and service technicians on-site at each of
the Company's apartment communities. The presence of these personnel will
continue at the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to the terms of the Management
Agreement. Moreover, MAALP intends to undertake frequent resident surveys and
focus groups, in order to measure resident satisfaction at the Mortgaged
Properties.
39
At December 31, 1997 MAAC owns, directly and through wholly owned
subsidiaries and controlled partnerships including MAALP and the Borrower, 115
apartment communities containing 30,468 apartment units in 13 states. MAAC
selected the Mortgaged Properties to be contributed by MAALP to, or acquired
directly by, the Borrower because such Mortgaged Properties (i) had established
operating histories, (ii) produced historical cash flow that would be adequate
to pay interest on the Bonds, (iii) had appraised values that resulted in a
loan-to-value ratio that, in the aggregate, supported an investment grade rating
and (iv) were free of previous mortgages and other encumbrances. See MAAC's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, incorporated
herein by reference.
THE APPRAISAL REPORTS
The Appraisals estimate the values of the Mortgaged Properties to be
approximately $241 million. The Appraisals do not render any opinion of value of
the Mortgaged Properties subsequent to the valuation dates of the Appraisals.
Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. (the "Appraiser") states in the Appraisals that
the Appraisals were performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice as promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board
of the Appraisal Foundation and adopted by the Appraisal Institute and the Code
of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute. An appraisal is an opinion of
value made by experts, subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions
contained therein. The Appraisals are based substantially on estimates,
assumptions and projections of income and expense related to the Mortgaged
Properties and are based on information available as of the date of the
particular Appraisal. However, neither the Borrower nor the Depositor makes any
warranty or representation that the Mortgaged Properties could be sold at the
appraised values.
ENGINEERING REPORTS
Creative Project Management, Inc. ("CPM") prepared evaluation reports for
each of the 26 Mortgaged Properties. These reports, dated in October and
November 1997, reviewed the Mortgaged Properties' structural and architectural
conditions, mechanical, electrical, fire and life safety systems as well as
compliance with the requirements of the ADA. Generally, CPM deemed the Mortgaged
Properties as well designed and constructed and provided with above-average
maintenance.
The reports contain analyses of repairs and improvements to the Mortgaged
Properties which are to be completed within one year, the estimated cost of
which aggregate $636,130.
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS
In November 1997, CPM performed Phase I ESAs (which did not include
invasive procedures, such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) on each of
the Mortgaged Properties. The ESAs did not reveal any significant environmental
liability that would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower's ability to
make required payments on the Bonds. In every instance, the Phase I ESA included
a record search for leaking underground storage tank sites and sites included on
certain environmental databases. In one instance, the database search revealed
information that led the ESA to recommend a Phase II ESA (which involves
invasive sampling procedures) to determine whether any contaminants affected the
Mortgaged Property. Such Mortgaged Property is adjacent to a leaking underground
storage tank site and the ESA anticipates that the adjacent contamination will
affect the Mortgaged Property. An agency of the State of Georgia has indicated
that it will assume the responsibility and cost of remediation of such
contamination, and based on discussions with such regulatory agency, the
Borrower believes that it will not be responsible or liable for the remediation
or cleanup of any environmental contamination and that there will be no material
adverse effect on the affected Mortgaged Property or the Mortgaged Properties
taken as a whole as a result of environmental costs or liabilities. There can be
no assurance that the Borrower is correct in concluding either that other
parties would bear or be able to bear primary responsibility, or that the
environmental costs or liabilities would not have a material adverse effect on
the Mortgaged Properties or the Borrower's ability to make required payments on
the Bonds.
40
The Phase I reports identified the presence of ACMs generally on or in
floor and ceiling coverings in four of Mortgaged Properties. The Borrower has
continuing ACM Operation and Maintenance Plans which include removal of
asbestos-containing materials if they are not in good condition and believes the
identified Mortgaged Properties can be managed pursuant to this plan. CPM
identified no other material environmental hazards on site.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGES
THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE MORTGAGES NOT
DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE BORROWER AND THE DEPOSITOR BELIEVE
THAT THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION INCLUDES ALL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
MORTGAGES, BUT THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN
ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE MORTGAGES. THE MORTGAGES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
UNTIL THE OCCURRENCE OF A PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE. FROM AND AFTER
THE OCCURRENCE OF A PERMITTED MERGER AND SECURITY RELEASE, THE BONDS WILL BE THE
GENERAL UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS OF MAALP RANKING IN PARITY WITH ALL OTHER
UNSECURED DEBT OF MAALP.
GENERAL
The Mortgages create first priority mortgage liens on the Mortgaged
Properties, including the Borrower's fee interest in each of the parcels of real
property on which such Mortgaged Properties are situated, and related assets.
The Mortgages will secure the payment in full of the Bonds and other charges
that may become due and payable under the Indenture.
SECURITY RELEASE
The Indenture provides that the Mortgage Liens will be subject to release
if and when each of the following conditions, among others, occur: (i) the
unsecured indebtedness of MAALP, including the Bonds, is rated at least "Baa3
" and "BBB-" by Moody's and S&P, respectively, and (ii) MAALP is a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, pursuant to an effective registration statement
on Form 10 (or any successor form). The ability of MAALP to procure the required
ratings of its unsecured debt, including the Bonds, is subject to satisfaction
of the criteria for such ratings as may be imposed from time to time by Moody's
and S&P. MAALP believes such criteria include ownership by MAALP directly or
through subsidiaries of substantially all of the real estate assets currently
owned by MAAC and satisfaction of certain leverage and equity ratios. The rating
criteria established by Moody's and S&P are subject to change from time to time
in the sole discretion of the Rating Agencies, and such criteria are outside the
control of MAALP and may not be satisfied by MAALP prior to repayment of the
Bonds in full. In connection with the FDC Merger, MAAC has agreed not to
transfer certain apartment communities or interests in property-owning
partnerships to MAALP until November 1999. MAAC and MAALP believe that the
inability of MAAC to transfer those assets to MAALP and operate exclusively
through its UPREIT structure will preclude MAALP from obtaining the ratings from
the Rating Agencies necessary to effect a Permitted Merger and Security Release.
Therefore, MAALP believes that before November 1999 MAALP cannot, and there can
be no assurance that MAALP will thereafter, procure the required ratings and
effect a Permitted Merger and Security Release.
The Borrower will give written notice to the Trustee which, in turn, will
give notice to the Certificate holders, of an anticipated Permitted Merger and
Security Release at least 60 days prior to any Security Release. Together with
such notice, the Borrower will deliver copies of the Post-Effective Prospectus
to each beneficial owner of the Certificates. Upon proof of proper notice and
delivery of the Post-Effective Prospectus and the satisfaction of certain other
conditions, the Indenture Trustee will release the Mortgage Liens, the Permitted
Merger will occur and MAALP will assume the obligations under the Bonds. Neither
a Permitted Merger nor a Security Release may occur if Advances are outstanding.
EFFECT OF SECURITY RELEASE
After a Permitted Merger and Security Release, the Bonds will be the
general unsecured obligations of MAALP ranking in parity with all other
unsecured indebtedness of MAALP, and persons previously holding Certificates
will thereafter have no claim against the Mortgaged Properties or any other
property of MAALP except as general unsecured creditors of MAALP.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS
Each Mortgage, or a separate certificate executed by the Borrower, contains
representations and warranties by the Borrower that are customary in
transactions similar to the issuance of the Bonds,
44
including representations as to the due formation of the Borrower; the authority
of the Borrower to enter into and to perform under the related loan documents;
the authority of the Borrower to conduct its business and its registration or
qualification to do business in the state of its organization and all states
where the Mortgaged Properties are located; the due authorization, execution and
delivery of the loan documents by the Borrower; the legality, validity and
binding effect of the loan documents and the enforceability thereof against the
Borrower; any required consents necessary to enter into and perform under the
loan documents; compliance with applicable laws (including zoning and
environmental laws); the absence of material defaults by the Borrower under
other agreements; the payment of taxes and other charges against the Mortgaged
Properties; the absence of material litigation; and the maintenance of all
necessary permits.
Each Mortgage also contains certain representations, warranties, and
covenants by the Borrower with respect to each Mortgaged Property and other
collateral that are typical in commercial mortgages securing transactions
similar to the issuance of the Bonds, including (i) representations regarding
the Borrower's good title to the Mortgaged Property and (ii) covenants (a) to
maintain good title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) to maintain insurance
required with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (c) to comply in all material
respects with laws, a failure of which would have a material adverse effect on
the Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, or the Indenture Trustee's interest
therein, (d) to allow no liens to be created against the Mortgaged Property and
other collateral other than liens permitted by the Indenture, the Mortgages and
the Bonds (collectively, the "Loan Documents") (subject to contract as set
forth in the Mortgages) (e) except as otherwise permitted in the Mortgage with
respect to a Security Release, to make no sale or assignment of any interest in
the Mortgaged Property to anyone other than the Indenture Trustee, except for
the granting of customary easements and similar rights in the ordinary course of
business, (f) to pay property taxes, assessments, and similar charges against
the Mortgaged Property as they become due, (g) to comply in all material
respects with the terms of the Leases, (h) to rebuild or restore the Mortgaged
Property after a casualty or condemnation (except where the Loan Documents
provide that such repair or restoration is not required), (i) to maintain the
validity and priority of the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the
Mortgaged Property and other collateral, (j) to make no amendment to the Leases
without the prior consent of the Indenture Trustee (except as permitted by the
Loan Documents), and (k) not to be a party to any merger, consolidation, or
reorganization not permitted by the Loan Documents.
LIMITATIONS ON ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS
Under each Mortgage, the Borrower has covenanted not to incur, assume or
guaranty any indebtedness other than (i) the indebtedness represented by the
Bonds and (ii) trade and operational debt incurred in the ordinary course of
business with trade creditors in such amounts as are normal and reasonable under
the circumstances, provided such debt is not evidenced by a note and is not
outstanding for more than sixty days (or such longer period as any such debt
will be contested by the Borrower in good faith (collectively, the "Permitted
Indebtedness").
DISCHARGE OF LIENS
The Borrower has covenanted to discharge by payment or by procurement of an
appropriate surety bond, or otherwise, within 30 days after receiving written
notice of the filing thereof (and in any event before foreclosure is permitted
under law) any lien, encumbrance, or charge upon any Mortgaged Property not
permitted under the terms of the respective Mortgage (subject to certain rights
to contest those liens).
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ALTERATIONS
The Borrower has covenanted in the Mortgages and the Indenture (i) to
maintain the Mortgaged Properties in good order and condition such that the
utility and operation of the Mortgaged Properties will not be affected in any
material adverse respect, subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty, (ii)
subject to the provisions of the Mortgages regarding casualty and condemnation,
to make or cause to be made all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements,
and renewals to the Mortgaged Properties, and (iii) not to commit or permit any
waste of the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof.
45
The Borrower may make, or permit to be made, material alterations with
respect to a Mortgaged Property only with the consent of the Indenture Trustee.
INSURANCE
The Borrower is required to maintain (or cause to be maintained) until the
earlier to occur of (i) a Permitted Merger or (ii) repayment in full of the
Bonds, insurance with respect to each Mortgaged Property against loss or damage
by fire or such other hazards as may be included in the form of "all risk"
building insurance from time to time available, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Borrower or the Indenture Trustee from becoming a co-insurer, but in any
case in an amount equal to the replacement cost of the improvements (without
considering depreciation and exclusive of excavations and foundations), which
may be maintained in a blanket policy that insures other properties so long as
there is sufficient coverage to replace the Mortgaged Property. In addition, for
each Mortgaged Property, the Borrower will be required to maintain loss of
income insurance covering losses arising out of damage or destruction by fire
and such other hazards as may be included in the "all risk" building insurance
carried as described above. Such insurance may also be maintained in a blanket
policy that insures other properties so long as there is sufficient coverage to
replace the required cash flow from the Mortgaged Property. The Borrower is also
required to maintain boiler and machinery insurance; comprehensive general
liability insurance; and such other insurance as is generally available on
commercially reasonable terms and is generally required by institutional lenders
on loans secured by similar properties. If any Mortgaged Property is in an area
designated as flood prone or a flood risk area or if flood insurance is required
pursuant to the United States Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended
or supplemented or under any subsequent law then in effect, flood insurance with
respect to such Mortgaged Property will be maintained in an amount not less than
the maximum amount available under the Federal Flood Insurance Program. Required
insurance coverage must be provided by insurance carriers having minimum claims
paying ability rating of "Aa" or better by Moody's and "AA" or better by
S&P. Each policy of insurance must name the Indenture Trustee as additional
insureds or as loss payees. In the opinion of management of the Depositor and
the General Partner, the Mortgaged Properties are adequately covered by
insurance.
TITLE INSURANCE
The Borrower has received title insurance loan policies in favor of the
Indenture Trustee for all of the Mortgaged Properties.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
In the event of any condemnation, the Borrower must continue to make its
payments on the Bonds and the Borrower is required to pay the amount of any
award or proceeds to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, if there is no
event of default under the Mortgage, the costs of restoration do not exceed 20%
of the value of the improvements, the improvements comply with all building,
zoning and other land use laws and regulations and the restoration can be
completed within one year after such taking and six months prior to the Stated
Maturity Date, then such award will be made available to the Borrower for the
restoration.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Borrower or, after a Permitted Merger, MAALP is required to deliver to
the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, not later than 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year, audited financial statements prepared on an accrual
basis in accordance with GAAP for such year and certified by appropriate
officers of the Borrower or MAALP, as the case may be.
In addition, the Borrower or, after a Permitted Merger, MAALP is required
to deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies (i) not later than
45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, unaudited financial statements
internally prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP for such
quarter, together with a certificate of appropriate officers of the Borrower or
MAALP, as the case may be, relating to such financial statements and certifying
as to the existence or nonexistence of an event of default and (ii) not later
than 20 Business Days after the end of each financial quarter, a certificate of
appropriate officers of
46
the Borrower or MAALP, as the case may be, setting forth the Pre-Permitted
Merger Debt Service Coverage Ratio or the Post-Permitted Merger Debt Service
Coverage Ratio, as the case may be. The Borrower is also required before a
Permitted Merger to deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies
certain additional operating and financial reports with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties.
THE BORROWER
OVERVIEW
The Borrower is a special purpose Delaware limited partnership. The special
purpose for which the Borrower has been formed is to hold, operate, own, manage,
renovate, improve, lease, mortgage and otherwise deal with the Mortgaged
Properties. The General Partner is a special purpose corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The special purpose for which the General
Partner has been formed is to own the sole general partnership interest in the
Borrower, act as and exercise all of the authority of the general partner of the
Borrower, and do all acts necessary to satisfy the responsibilities of the
general partner of the Borrower.
The sole limited partner of the Borrower is MAALP, which is a majority
owned subsidiary of MAAC. MAALP is the operating partnership in the UPREIT
structure of MAAC, which is a self-administered and self-managed REIT. Twenty of
the Mortgaged Properties were contributed by MAALP to the Borrower in exchange
for a 99% limited partnership interest in the Borrower, and five of the
Mortgaged Properties were acquired directly by the Borrower utilizing part of
the proceeds from the MSMC Loan. One of the Mortgaged Properties was acquired by
the Borrower as a result of the merger of Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C., with
and into the Borrower. The only members of Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C. were
MAAC and MAALP. Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C. was formed by MAAC and MAALP less
than a month before its merger into the Borrower for the sole purpose of
acquiring the Hermitage at Beechtree apartment community in a manner that would
permit the contemplated transfer of such apartment community without additional
transfer tax. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting utilizing the net purchase price paid for that Mortgaged Property.
The General Partner contributed cash of approximately $2,271,000 for a 1%
general partnership interest in the Borrower.
The Borrower's principal executive offices are located at 1209 Orange
Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 and its telephone number is (302) 777-0205.
SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY COVENANTS
The Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Borrower (the "Partnership
Agreement") contains provisions restricting the Borrower from engaging in any
business other than the ownership, operation and financing of the Mortgaged
Properties and from incurring debt other than the Bonds or as permitted under
the Indenture, which includes certain trade accounts payable. In addition, the
Partnership Agreement contains provisions intended to reduce the likelihood that
the assets and liabilities of the Borrower would be consolidated with those of
any affiliate of the Borrower in the event of a bankruptcy of such affiliate,
including provisions prohibiting the commingling of assets of the Borrower with
the assets of its General Partner and requiring the maintenance of separate
books and records. Such provisions include the requirement that the General
Partner have at least one independent director and that such independent
director approve certain matters, including the filing of any bankruptcy
petition.
THE DEPOSITOR
The Depositor is a special purpose Delaware corporation, incorporated on
December 12, 1997. The business of the Depositor is limited by the terms of its
Certificate of Incorporation to the purchase of the Bonds, creation of the
Trust, causing the issuance by the Trust of the Certificates and the assignment
to the Trustee of the trust assets and activities related thereto. Under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Depositor, the Certificate of Incorporation may be amended
only with the unanimous approval of the board of directors of the Depositor
including the independent directors of the Depositor and both (i) a majority of
the outstanding stock of the Depositor and
47
(ii) a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote as a
class. The Depositor will have only a single class of stock. The sole
stockholder of the Depositor is MAAC, which will not be liable for the payment
of the Certificates.
The Depositor's principal executive offices are located at 1209 Orange
Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 and its telephone number is (302) 777-0205.
THE TRUST
The Trust has been created as a grantor trust under the Code. Upon issuance
of the Certificates, the Certificate holders will own 100% of the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust. The Trust has no executive officers or
directors, and the daily acitivities of the Trust are conducted solely by the
Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The only rights of the Trustee
with respect to the Trust are those necessary and incidental to the performance
of its duties under the Trust Agreement, including, the right to hold the Bonds,
receive payments thereon, and distribute such payments to the Certificate
holders, and to distribute the corpus of the Trust to its beneficiaries as
provided in the Trust Agreement.
The Trustee has no right or power on behalf of the Trust to (i) sell or
otherwise transfer the Bonds, except to the Certificate holders upon the
termination of the Trust; (ii) borrow any money; (iii) invest or reinvest any
interest or principal payment received on the Bonds; (iii) issue any additional
Certificates (with the exception of replacement certificates) or any securities
senior to the Certificates; (iv) make loans to other persons; (v) invest in the
securities of other issuers; (vi) underwrite securities of other issuers; (vii)
engage in the purchase and sale of investments; (vii) offer securities in
exchange for property (other than the original issuance of the Certificates);
(viii) repurchase or otherwise reacquire the Certificates, except upon the
termination of the Trust in accordance with the Trust Agreement; or (ix) acquire
any additional properties.
The principal trust offices of the Trustee are located at 135 South LaSalle
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60674-4107 and its telephone number is (312) 904-7324.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The proceeds from the offer and sale of the Certificates will be utilized
by the Depositor to purchase the Bonds from the Borrower. The net proceeds of
this offering will be used by the Borrower to repay certain indebtedness of the
Borrower to Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. pursuant to the terms of a $140
million short-term promissory note. The proceeds from the MSMC Loan were used to
partially finance the acquisition of Flournoy Development Company and certain
related limited partnerships and other entities by MAAC and MAALP on November
25, 1997. The MSMC Loan is secured by the Mortgaged Properties and certain other
collateral, including the Accounts. The MSMC Loan is payable in full on April
15, 1998, and bears interest at a floating rate of the London Interbank Offered
Rate plus 1%. Finally, any remaining net proceeds of this offering will be
distributed to the partners of the Borrower and used by such partners for
general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

31, 1996 as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
(unaudited). The historical combined operating data of the CPG for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 have been derived from the historical
combined financial statements audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent
accountants, whose report with respect thereto is included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. The historical combined operating data for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 have
been derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of the CPG. In the
opinion of
48
management, the historical combined operating data for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.
The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30,
1997 were prepared as if at September 30, 1997: (i) the Borrower had issued the
Bonds; (ii) the Flournoy Reorganization had been consummated ; (iii) MAALP had
contributed 20 of the Mortgaged Properties to the Borrower in exchange for a 99%
limited partnership interest in the Borrower and the contributed Mortgaged
Properties were recorded at MAALP's historic costs; (iv) 5 of the Mortgaged
Properties had been acquired by the Borrower; (v) Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C.
had merged with and into the Borrower; (vi) the MSMC Loan had been originated;
(vii) the Mortgaged Properties had all been acquired by CPG prior to January 1,
1996; and (viii) $116 million of the net proceeds of the MSMC Loan had been
distributed to MAALP. The pro forma condensed statement of operations data for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996
were prepared as if the above-described transactions occurred at the beginning
of the period presented.
The following selected financial information should be read in conjunction
with the discussion set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the unaudited pro forma
condensed financial statements, and all of the financial statements included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position and results of
operations of the Borrower would have been as of and for the periods indicated,
nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and results of
operations for future periods.

(1) See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Capital Expenditures."
(2) Earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents net income before extraordinary items and minority interest,
computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains on dispositions of
properties, interest expense, federal income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income
or any other GAAP measurement of performance, as an indication of operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities as a measure of liquidity. The Borrower believes that
EBITDA is helpful in understanding the Borrower's results of operations in
that such calculation reflects cash flow from operating activities and the
Borrower's ability to support interest payments and general operating
expenses before the impact of certain activities such as changes in other
assets and accounts payable. Because companies have different accounting
policies and different ways of calculating EBITDA, EBITDA presentations may
not be comparable even among companies in the same industry group. Effective
January 1, 1996, CPG implemented a new accounting policy regarding capital
expenditures which included the following changes: 1) increase minimum
dollar amounts to capitalize from $500 to $1,000, 2) capitalize replacement
purchases for major appliances and carpeting of entire apartment units which
had been previously expensed and 3) reduce depreciable lives for certain
assets from 20 years to 10 to 15 years. The effect of this new accounting
policy cannot be readily determined. However the Borrower believes that it
results in increased EBITDA for 1996 as compared to EBITDA for 1996
presented under the previous capital expenditure policy.
(3) For purposes of this computation, adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA as
defined in (2) above plus general and administrative expenses for the period
less a $200 per apartment unit capital expenditure reserve and a management
fee equal to 4% of total revenues per year.
(4) Debt service coverage ratio is computed as a ratio of adjusted EBITDA as
defined in (3) above to interest expense.
(5) Adjusted debt service coverage ratio is defined as adjusted EBITDA as
defined in (3) above divided by adjusted interest. Adjusted interest is
calculated based on an assumed 9.25% annual interest rate and $142,000,000
of pro-forma total indebtedness.
(6) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing net income plus
fixed charges less capitalized interest by fixed charges. Fixed charges
consist of interest expense (including interest costs capitalized and
amortization of deferred financing costs).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following is a discussion of the combined financial condition and
results of operations of CPG for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994. This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this
Prospectus. These financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Following a review of its capital expenditure and depreciation policy,
effective January 1, 1996, CPG implemented a new policy of which the primary
changes are as follows:
(a) Increase minimum dollar amounts to capitalize from $500 to
$1,000;
(b) For stabilized Mortgaged Properties (generally, Mortgaged
Properties owned and operated by CPG for at least one year),
capitalize replacement purchases for major appliances and
carpeting of an entire apartment unit which was previously
expensed; and
(c) Reduce depreciation life for certain assets from 20 years to 10
to 15 years.
CPG believes that the newly adopted accounting policy is preferable because
it is consistent with policies currently being used by the majority of the
largest apartment REITs and provides a better matching of expenses with the
estimated benefit period. CPG's 1995 and 1994 financial statements were not
restated for the effect of the change in accounting policy. The policy has been
implemented prospectively effective January 1, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
The total number of apartment units owned at September 30, 1997 was 4,804
in 20 apartment communities, compared to 3,786 in 16 apartment communities at
September 30, 1996. Average monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $546
at September 30, 1997 from $525 at September 30, 1996. Overall occupancy was
96.4% at September 30, 1997 compared to 99.2% at September 30, 1996.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by
approximately $8,489,000 due primarily to (i) approximately $6,219,000 from the
apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $1,868,000 from the
apartment communities acquired in 1997, and (iii) approximately $402,000 from
the apartment communities owned throughout both periods.
Property operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased by approximately $2,806,000 due primarily to (i) approximately
$2,074,000 from the apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately
$635,000 from the apartment communities acquired in 1997, and (iii)
approximately $97,000 from the apartment communities owned throughout both
periods. Utility costs increased from 4.6% of revenue to 4.2% of revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier,
due primarily to the further installation of approximately 1,795 individual
apartment unit water meters.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1,890,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period a year
earlier primarily due to depreciation expense for (i) approximately $1,325,000
from the apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $374,000
from the apartment communities acquired in 1997, and (iii) approximately
$191,000 from the apartment communities owned throughout both periods.
51
Interest expense decreased approximately $907,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier primarily
due to the repayment of all debt in 1997. The average borrowing cost of CPG's
debt was 8.7% at September 30, 1996.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
During the 1996 period, CPG acquired 6 apartment communities. The total
number of apartment units owned at December 31, 1996 was 4,314 in 18 apartment
communities, compared to 2,554 in 12 apartment communities at December 31, 1995.
Average monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $532 at December 31, 1996
from $506 at December 31, 1995. Overall occupancy at December 31, 1996 and 1995
was 95.9% and 96.1%, respectively.
Total revenues for 1996 increased by approximately $5,754,000 due primarily
to (i) approximately $4,820,000 from the 6 apartment communities acquired in
1996, (ii) approximately $465,000 from a full year's operation of the 2
apartment communities acquired in 1995, and (iii) approximately $469,000 from
the apartment communities owned throughout both periods.
Property operating expenses for 1996 increased by approximately $1,901,000
due primarily to (i) approximately $1,674,000 from the 6 apartment communities
acquired in 1996 (ii) approximately $143,000 from a full year's operations of
the 2 apartment communities acquired in 1995, and (iii) approximately $84,000
from the apartment communities owned throughout both periods. As a percentage of
revenue, property operating expenses decreased to 35.6% from 36.6% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Utility costs decreased from
5.2% of revenue to 4.6% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared
to the same period a year earlier, due primarily to the installation of 1,276
individual apartment unit water meters.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1,396,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period a year earlier
primarily due to depreciation expense of (i) approximately $893,000 from the 6
apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $97,000 from the 2
apartment communities acquired in 1995, and (iii) approximately $406,000 from
the apartment communities owned throughout both periods.
Interest expense decreased approximately $56,000 during 1996 due primarily
to the scheduled loan maturity of the Kirby Station debt. CPG increased the
average borrowing cost to 9.4% at December 31, 1996 as compared to 8.7% on
December 31, 1995.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
The total number of apartment units owned at December 31, 1995 was 2,554 in
12 apartment communities, compared to 2,290 in 10 apartment communities at
December 31, 1994. Average monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $506
for 1995 from $500 for 1994. Overall occupancy was 96.1% at December 31, 1995
and 1994.
Total revenues for 1995 increased by approximately $9,744,000 due primarily
to (i) approximately $1,076,000 from the 2 apartment communities acquired, (ii)
approximately $8,643,00 from a full year's operation of 10 apartment communities
acquired in 1994, and (iii) approximately $25,000 from the apartment communities
owned throughout both periods.
Property operating expenses increased by approximately $3,618,000 over
1994. The increase primarily resulted from (i) approximately $421,000 of
operating expense from the 2 apartment communities acquired in 1995, (ii)
approximately $2,655,000 for full year's operation of the 10 apartment
communities acquired in 1994, and (iii) approximately $542,000 from the
apartment communities owned throughout both periods. As a percentage of revenue,
property operating expenses increased to 36.6% from 35.5% for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1995, approximately $90,000 was
expensed for replacement of appliances and carpets compared to approximately
$44,000 for 1994.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1,870,000
for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same period a year earlier
primarily due to depreciation expense for (i)
52
approximately $210,000 from the 2 apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii)
approximately $1,622,000 from the 10 apartment communities acquired in 1994, and
(iii) approximately $38,000 for the apartment communities owned throughout both
periods.
Interest expense increased approximately $1,300,000 during 1995 due to
apartment communities acquired during the year. CPG's average borrowing cost was
8.7% at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased by approximately
$5,458,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately
$8,041,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in net
cash flow was primarily due to an increase in net income, depreciation and
amortization, and accrued expenses and liabilities. Net cash flow provided by
operating activities increased by approximately $4,999,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from approximately $6,432,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995. The increase in net cash flow was primarily due to an increase in net
income, depreciation and amortization, and accrued expenses and liabilities.
This increase in net cash flow provided by operating activities was offset by an
increase in restricted cash due to an increase in other mortgage escrows and
replacement reserves.
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased by approximately
$26,808,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately
$49,563,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Capital improvements
to existing properties totaled approximately $3,544,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to approximately $3,182,000 for the same
period in 1996. Of the $3,544,000 in capital improvements approximately
$1,019,000 was for recurring capital expenditures, including carpet and
appliances, approximately $893,000 was for revenue enhancing projects,
approximately $1,590,000 was for acquisition capital with the remaining balance
for other miscellaneous items. Net cash flow used in investing activities
increased by approximately $57,326,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 from
approximately $13,719,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Capital
improvements to existing properties totaled approximately $4,819,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996, compared to approximately $155,000 for the same
period in 1995. Of the $4,819,000 in capital improvements approximately
$1,514,000 was for recurring capital expenditures, including carpet and
appliances, approximately $941,000 was for revenue enhancing projects,
approximately $2,282,000 was for acquisition capital with the remaining balance
for other miscellaneous spending. For the stabilized apartment units, recurring
capital expenditures averaged $351 per apartment unit. Construction in progress
for new apartment units decreased to approximately $1,588,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 due primarily to no new apartment unit construction.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased by approximately
$32,256,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately
$41,470,000 for the same period in 1996. The principal uses of cash from
financing activities were approximately $16,460,000 for repayment of notes
payable, approximately $6,610,000 for contributions by the partners, and
$19,064,000 for contribution of properties to CPG. Net cash flow used by
financing activities increased by approximately $52,561,000 during the year
ended December 31, 1996 from approximately $7,035,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The principal uses of the cash included approximately
$6,370,000 for the repayment of notes payable, approximately $700,000 of
cantributions from the partners, and $65,266,000 for contribution of properties
to CPG.
CPG believes that cash provided by operations is adequate and anticipates
that it will continue to be adequate in both the short and long-term to meet
operating requirements (including recurring capital expenditures at the
Mortgaged Properties).
INSURANCE
In the opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is in place
which provides adequate coverage to provide financial protection against normal
insurable risks such that it believes that any loss
53
experienced would not have a significant impact on CPG's liquidity, financial
position, or results of operations.
INFLATION
Substantially all of the resident leases at the Mortgaged Properties allow,
at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus
may enable CPG to seek rent increases. The substantial majority of these leases
are for one year or less. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves
to reduce the risk to CPG of the adverse effects of inflation.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements
include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including
plans and objectives relating to capital expenditures and rehabilitation costs
on the apartment communities. The forward-looking statements included herein are
based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties
which are discussed in "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus. Although CPG
believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can
be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus
will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by CPG or any other
person that the objectives and plans of CPG will be achieved.

CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING MAALP AND MAAC
OVERVIEW
MAAC is a Memphis, Tennessee-based self-administered and self-managed
UPREIT whose common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "MAA." MAAC is the sole general partner of MAALP and owns an
approximately 84.6% interest in MAALP (MAAC and MAALP being hereinafter referred
to as the "Company" where the context so requires). The Company seeks to
acquire apartment communities appealing to middle and upper income residents
primarily in mid-size cities in the southeastern United States and Texas.
Approximately 72% of the Company's apartment units are located in Tennessee,
Georgia, Florida and Texas markets. The Company's strategic focus is to provide
its residents high quality apartment units in attractive community settings,
characterized by extensive landscaping and attention to aesthetic detail. The
Company utilizes its experience and expertise in maintenance, landscaping,
marketing and management to effectively "reposition" many of the apartment
communities it acquires to raise occupancy levels and per unit average rentals.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 6584 Poplar Avenue,
Suite 340, Memphis, Tennessee 38138, and its telephone number is (901) 682-6600.
Founded in 1977 by George E. Cates, MAAC's Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer, MAAC's predecessor grew from an operator
of a single 252-unit apartment community in Memphis, Tennessee into a
fully-integrated owner and operator of 5,580 apartment units in 22 apartment
communities in four southeastern states immediately prior to the Company's
initial public offering in February 1994 (the "Initial Offering"). At the time
of the Initial Offering, all of the apartment communities were transferred to
MAALP, and MAAC commenced its operations in an UPREIT structure, with MAALP
being solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, landscaping and other
management duties in respect of the apartment communities.
On November 25, 1997, the Company acquired from Flournoy Development
Company ("FDC"), a Columbus, Georgia-based apartment construction, development
and management company, and certain related property partnerships (the
"Property Partnerships"), 32 apartment communities containing an aggregate of
7,691 apartment units located primarily in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and
Tennessee, by means of the merger of FDC into MAAC (the "FDC Merger") and the
acquisition by MAALP of certain apartment communities and partnership interests
in certain Property Partnerships (collectively, the "Flournoy
Reorganization"). In addition, the Company acquired from FDC the construction
in progress of four new apartment communities and three additions to existing
apartment communities, which, in the aggregate, represents the construction of
950 new apartment units (the "Development Properties"). After consummation of
the Flournoy Reorganization, the Company owned 114 apartment communities
containing 30,726 apartment units in 13 states, a 450% increase over the number
of apartment units owned at the time of the Initial Offering.
PRESENT AND ANTICIPATED OPERATING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
By means of the FDC Merger, MAAC acquired the Development Properties and
partnership interests in 27 Property Partnerships (the "FDC-owned Partnership
Interests"). The remaining assets were acquired in the Flournoy Reorganization
by MAALP. Consequently, immediately after the Flournoy Reorganization both MAAC
and MAALP owned substantial portions of the historical assets of FDC and the
Property Partnerships.
The FDC Merger was structured as a tax-free reorganization under Section
368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. Pursuant to two separate General Counsel Memoranda
issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), the IRS has privately
ruled that a merger will not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code
if a substantial amount of the assets received by the surviving entity in the
merger were transferred to a partnership (as opposed to a controlled
corporation, which transfer is permitted by the Code) immediately after
consummation of the merger. In January 1997, the Department of Treasury issued
proposed regulations that would permit certain post-merger transfers of assets
to partnerships, effectively reversing the prior IRS position. However, the
proposed regulations expressly do not apply to transactions consummated or
56
subject to definitive agreements prior to the adoption of final regulations. As
of this time, final regulations have not been adopted. Counsel has advised MAAC
that the IRS might successfully assert that the FDC Merger did not qualify as a
tax-free reorganization under the Code if MAAC were to transfer the Development
Properties and the FDC-owned Partnership Interests to MAALP.
If the FDC Merger were to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization
under the Code, MAAC and the former shareholders of FDC would incur substantial
tax liabilities. Therefore, in order to preserve the status of the FDC Merger as
a tax-free reorganization, MAAC has agreed not to transfer the Development
Properties and the FDC-owned Partnership Interests to MAALP for a period of two
years after consummation of the Flournoy Reorganization without the consent of
the former FDC shareholders. Until the Development Properties and FDC-owned
Partnership Interests are transferred from MAAC to MAALP, MAAC will retain
substantial interests in the real estate assets represented by the Development
Properties and the FDC-owned Partnership Interests and will not be able to
operate exclusively through its preferred UPREIT structure. The Company believes
that the inability of MAAC to transfer those assets to MAALP and operate
exclusively through its UPREIT structure will preclude MAALP from obtaining the
ratings from the Rating Agencies necessary to effect a Permitted Merger and
Security Release. At the end of such restricted period, MAAC intends to transfer
all real estate assets then-owned by it, including the Development Properties
and the FDC-owned Partnership Interests, to MAALP and to seek the ratings for
the unsecured debt, including the Bonds, of MAALP from the Rating Agencies
required as a condition to a Permitted Merger and Security Release. The rating
criteria established by the Rating Agencies are subject to change from time to
time in the sole discretion of the Rating Agencies, and such criteria are
outside the control of MAALP and may not be satisfied by MAALP prior to
repayment of the Bonds in full. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
MAALP will procure the required ratings and effect the Permitted Merger and
Security Release.
Accordingly, included or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus are
Consolidated Summary Financial and Operating Data and consolidated financial
statements for MAAC, which include 100% of the assets, liabilities and
operations of MAALP as a consolidated subsidiary of MAAC. The Borrower and
Depositor believe that separate MAALP financial statements are not material to
an understanding of an investment in the Certificates and underlying Bonds and
that the included and incorporated MAAC information more accurately presents the
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and other operating data
that would be considered important by Certificate holders as prospective holders
of the Bonds following a Permitted Merger and Security Release, at which time
the Bonds will be the general, unsecured obligations of MAALP, than the same
information for either MAAC or MAALP would on an unconsolidated, "standalone"
basis. See " -- Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data" and
"Incorporation by Reference." At least 60 days prior to the Permitted Merger
and Security Release, the Trustee will distribute the Post-Effective Prospectus
which will contain consolidated audited and unaudited financial information
concerning MAALP. The Company believes that at such time, the Development
Properties and FDC-owned Partnership Interests will have been contributed by
MAAC to MAALP and that substantially all of the Company's assets and operations
at such time will be held and conducted by MAALP and its subsidiaries, including
the Borrower.
SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA FOR THE COMPANY
The following table sets forth summary financial and operating information
on an historical basis for the Company and its predecessor. See " -- Present
and Anticipated Operating Structure" immediately above. The following
information should be read in conjunction with all of the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
and nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, and the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which are incorporated by reference
herein. Also set forth below are summary unaudited pro forma financial,
operating and other data for the Company as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 which should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated September 17, 1997
and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 1998
57
incorporated by reference herein. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data at
September 30, 1997 have been prepared as if the following had occurred at
September 30, 1997: (i) consummation of the offering and sale of 1,938,830
shares of MAAC's 8 7/8% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock and the application
of the net proceeds thereof; (ii) consummation of the Flournoy Reorganization;
(iii) the issuance of $142.0 million in Bonds, the net proceeds of which will be
utilized to repay certain indebtedness of the Company to Morgan Stanley Mortgage
Capital, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the $140.0 million MSMC Loan; (iv) the
issuance and sale of 3,499,300 shares of MAAC's Common Stock for an aggregate
net purchase price of $98.2 million and the related use of such proceeds; (v)
the acquisition of one apartment community containing an aggregate of 194
apartment units for an aggregate cash purchase price of $8.9 million, subsequent
to September 30, 1997.
The unaudited pro forma statements of operations data have been prepared as
if, at January 1, 1996, in addition to the transactions described above, the
following had occurred: (i) the acquisition of six Mortgaged Properties in 1996
and of ten Mortgaged Properties in 1997; (ii) the disposition of three Mortgaged
Properties in 1996 for aggregate cash consideration of $24.7 million; (iii) the
issuance and sale in 1996 of 2,000,000 shares of MAAC's 9.5% Series A Cumulative
Preferred Stock for an aggregate net cash price of $47.8 million and the related
use of such proceeds; (iv) the issuance and sale in 1997 of 2,300,000 shares of
MAAC's Common Stock for an aggregate net cash price of $62.5 million and the
related use of such proceeds; and (v) MAAC qualified as a REIT and distributed
all of its taxable income for the periods presented and, therefore, incurred no
income tax.
The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include the effect
of eliminating certain nonrecurring income and expenses or the elimination of
certain general and administrative expenses that were included in the historical
operating information of FDC which the Company does not expect to incur in the
future. Included in the pro forma information for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are gains from sales of assets ($132,000), dividend income on
trading securities ($20,000), other income ($38,000), accounting, legal and
other costs incurred in connection with a proposed public offering of FDC common
stock which was abandoned during 1997 ($2,252,000) and general and
administrative expenses which are expected to be eliminated as a result of cost
savings resulting from the Flournoy Reorganization ($587,000). Included in the
pro forma information for the year ended December 31, 1996 are gains from sales
of assets ($3,505,000), dividend income on trading securities ($34,000),
accounting, legal and other costs incurred in connection with a proposed public
offering of FDC common stock which was abandoned during 1997 ($233,000) and
general and administrative expenses which are expected to be eliminated as a
result of cost savings resulting from the Flournoy Reorganization ($904,000).
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation -- Risks Associated with Forward-Looking Statements".
The pro forma financial data are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual financial position or results of operations of the Company would have
been as of the date or for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to
represent the results of operations or financial position for future periods.
This data should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements
of the Company and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" in the Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K described above and
incorporated into the accompanying Prospectus by reference. In the opinion of
management, the operating data for the periods presented include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the information set forth therein.

(1) Operating data for 1994 includes 34 days of predecessor financial
information and per share data for 1994 is for the period February 4, 1994
through December 31, 1994.
(2) See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Capital Expenditures" included in the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine-month period ended September
30, 1997 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996, which are incorporated herein by reference.
(3) Includes corporate expenses.
(4) Pro forma operating data for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997
includes a non-recurring tax credit of approximately $875,000.
(5) Total capitalization as of the dates presented is total debt plus the
aggregate market value of the Company's Common Stock, Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and units of limited partnership interest
held by persons other than the Company (based upon the market value of the
Company's Common Stock), which are redeemable for shares of Common Stock on
a one-for-one basis, or at the Company's option for cash. The market value
of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock is based
upon $25.00 per share.
(6) Earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents net income before extraordinary items and minority interest,
computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains on dispositions of
properties, interest expense, federal income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income
or any other GAAP measurement of performance, as an indication of operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities as a measure of liquidity. The Borrower believes that
EBITDA is helpful in understanding the Borrower's results of operations in
that such calculation reflects cash flow from operating activities and the
Borrower's ability to support interest payments and general operating
expenses before the impact of certain activities such as changes in other
assets and accounts payable. Because companies have different accounting
policies and different ways of calculating EBITDA, EBITDA presentations may
not be comparable even among companies in the same industry group. Effective
January 1, 1996, CPG implemented a new accounting policy regarding capital
expenditures which included the following changes 1) increase minimum dollar
amounts to capitalize from $500 to $1,000, 2) capitalized replacement
purchases for major appliances and carpeting of entire apartment units which
had been previously expensed and 3) reduce depreciation lives for certain
assets from 20 years to 10 to 15 years. The effect of this new accounting
policy can not be readily determined. However the Borrower believes that it
results in increased EBITDA for 1996 as compared to EBITDA for 1996
presented under the previous capital expenditure policy.
(7) Debt service coverage ratio is computed as a ratio of EBITDA as defined in
(6) above to interest expense.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
CERTIFICATES
GENERAL
The following general discussion summarizes certain of the material federal
income tax aspects of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the
Certificates. This discussion is a summary for general information only and does
not consider all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates by a prospective
investor in light of his or her personal circumstances. This discussion also
does not address the federal income tax consequences of ownership of
Certificates not held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of
the Code, or the federal income tax consequences to investors subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities or
foreign currency, tax-exempt entities, banks, financial institutions, thrifts,
insurance companies, persons that hold the Certificates as part of a
"straddle," a "hedge" against currency risk, or a "conversion
transaction," persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S.
dollar, and investors in pass-through entities. In addition, the discussion is
generally limited to the tax consequences to initial holders. It also does not
describe any tax consequences arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or
foreign jurisdiction.
This summary is based upon the Code, existing and proposed regulations
thereunder, and current administrative rulings and court decisions. All of the
foregoing are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis; accordingly,
any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.
PERSONS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN
TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS
THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION, TO THEIR
PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.
The following discussion is limited to the federal income tax consequences
relevant to a holder of a Certificate that is a U.S. Person, except where
otherwise noted. A "U.S. Person" is (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States, (ii) a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in
applicable Treasury regulations) organized under the laws of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof or therein, (iii) an estate, the income of
which is subject to federal income tax regardless of the source, or (iv) a trust
with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over its administration and one or more such U.S. Persons
have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions (and certain
other trusts eligible to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons).
CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENT ARRANGEMENT
In the opinion of Baker, Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell, a professional
corporation, which opinion is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this Prospectus is a part, the Trust will be treated for federal income
tax purposes as a grantor trust and not as an association (or publicly traded
partnership) taxable as a corporation. The Trustee intends to report income,
gain, loss and deduction to the IRS accordingly.
Under the grantor trust rules, each Certificate holder will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as having purchased an undivided interest in the
assets of the Trust to the extent of the Certificate holder's proportionate
interest in the Trust. Similarly, the sale of a Certificate by a Certificate
holder will be considered a sale of the Certificate holder's interest in the
assets of the Trust with respect to that holder. In general, the tax
consequences of an investment in Certificates will depend on the rules
applicable to the Bonds and, after foreclosure, the Mortgaged Properties. The
Certificates will represent an undivided proportionate interest in the Bonds.
A Certificate owned by a "domestic building and loan association" within
the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(19) will be considered to represent "loans
. . . secured by an interest in real property which is . . . residential real
property" within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v). In addition, a
Certificate owned by a real estate investment trust will be considered to
represent "real estate assets"
61
within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(4)(A), and interest income on such
assets will be considered "interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real
property" within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(B), in each case to the
extent that the holder's pro rata undivided interest in the Bonds does not
exceed such holder's allocable interest in the fair market value of the
Mortgaged Properties. Furthermore, a Certificate owned by a REMIC may be
considered to represent an "obligation (including any participation or
certificate of beneficial ownership therein) which is principally secured by an
interest in real property" within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A) to
the extent that the Bonds constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning
of Code Section 860G(a)(3).
INTEREST INCOME
Certificates may be issued with original issue discount ("OID") within
the meaning of Code Section 1273. Rules governing OID are set forth in Sections
1271-1275 of the Code and certain final regulations of the U.S. Department of
the Treasury issued in 1994 (the "Final Regulations"). Although the Code
contains specific provisions governing the calculation of OID on securities,
such as the Certificates, on which principal is required to be prepaid based on
prepayments of the underlying assets, regulations interpreting those provisions
have not yet been issued.
In general, OID, if any, will equal the difference between the stated
redemption price at maturity of a Certificate and its issue price. A Holder of a
Certificate must include such OID in gross income as ordinary income as it
accrues under a method taking into account an economic accrual of the discount.
In general, OID must be included in income in advance of the receipt of the cash
representing that income. The amount of OID on a Certificate will be considered
to be zero if it is less than a DE MINIMIS amount determined under the Code.
The issue price of a Certificate will generally be the initial offering
price at which a substantial amount of the Certificates is sold to the public,
and will be treated by the Depositor as including, in addition, the amount paid
by the Certificate holder for accrued interest that relates to a period prior to
the issue date of such Certificate. Under the Final Regulations, the stated
redemption price at maturity is the sum of all payments on the Certificate other
than any "qualified stated interest" payments. Qualified stated interest is
interest that is unconditionally payable at least annually during the entire
term of the Certificate at either (a) a single fixed rate that appropriately
takes into account the length of the interval between payments or (b) the
current values of (i) a single "qualified floating rate" or (ii) a single
"objective rate" (each a "Single Variable Rate"). A "current value" is the
value of a variable rate on any day that is no earlier than three months prior
to the first day on which that value is in effect and no later than one year
following that day. A qualified floating rate is a rate the variations in which
reasonably can be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of
newly borrowed funds in the currency in which the Certificate is denominated
(E.G., LIBOR). Such a rate remains qualified even though it is multiplied by a
fixed, positive multiple not exceeding 1.35, increased or decreased by a fixed
rate, or both. Certain combinations of rates constitute a single qualified
floating rate, including (a) interest stated at a fixed rate for an initial
period of less than one year followed by a qualified floating rate, if the value
of the qualified floating rate on the issue date is intended to approximate the
fixed rate, and (b) two or more qualified floating rates that can reasonably be
expected to have approximately the same values throughout the term of the
Certificate. A combination of such rates is conclusively presumed to be a single
qualified floating rate if the values of all rates on the issue date are within
.25 percentage points of each other. A variable rate that is subject to an
interest rate cap, floor, "governor" or similar restriction on rate adjustment
may be a qualified floating rate only if such restriction is fixed throughout
the term of the instrument, or is not reasonably expected as of the issue date
to cause the yield on the debt instrument to differ significantly from the
expected yield absent the restriction. An objective rate is a rate, other than a
qualified floating rate, determined by a single formula that is fixed throughout
the term of the Certificate and is based on (i) one or more qualified floating
rates (including a multiple or inverse of a qualified floating rate), (ii) one
or more rates each of which would be a qualified floating rate for a debt
instrument denominated in a foreign currency, (iii) the yield or the changes in
the price of one or more items of "actively traded" personal property, (iv) a
combination of rates described in (i), (ii) or (iii), or (v) other rates
designated by the IRS. Each rate described in (i) through (iv)
62
above will not be considered an objective rate, however, if it is reasonably
expected that the average value of the rate during the first half of the
Certificate's term will differ significantly from the average value of the rate
during the final half of its term. A combination of interest stated at a fixed
rate for an initial period of less than one year followed by an objective rate
is treated as a single objective rate if the value of the objective rate on the
issue date is intended to approximate the fixed rate; such a combination of
rates is conclusively presumed to be a single objective rate if the value of the
objective rate on the issue date does not differ from the value of the fixed
rate by more than .25 percentage points.
The holder of a Certificate issued with OID must include in gross income,
for all days during its taxable year on which it holds such Certificate, the sum
of the "daily portions" of such OID. The amount of OID includible in income by
a holder will be computed by allocating to each day during a taxable year a
pro-rata portion of the OID that accrued during the relevant accrual period. The
amount of OID that will accrue during an accrual period (generally the period
between interest payments of compounding dates) is the excess (if any) of the
sum of (a) the present value of all payments remaining to be made on the
Certificate as of the close of the accrual period and (b) the payments during
the accrual period of amounts included in the stated redemption price of the
Certificate, over the "adjusted issue price" of the Certificate at the
beginning of the accrual period. The adjusted issue price of a Certificate is
the sum of its issue price plus prior accruals of OID, reduced by the total
payments made with respect to such Certificate in all prior periods, other than
qualified stated interest payments. Code Section 1272(a)(6) requires the present
value of the remaining payments to be determined on the basis of: (i) the
original yield to maturity of the Certificate (determined on the basis of
compounding at the end of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the
length of the accrual period), and (ii) events which have occurred before the
end of the accrual period.
A subsequent holder of a Certificate will also be required to include OID
in gross income, but such a holder who purchases such Certificate for an amount
that exceeds its adjusted issue price will be entitled (as will an initial
holder who pays more than a Certificate's issue price) to offset such OID by
comparable economic accruals of portions of such excess.
MARKET DISCOUNT
A subsequent purchaser of a Certificate at a discount from its outstanding
principal amount will acquire such Certificate with market discount. A
Certificate will not be considered to have market discount, however, if the
amount of such market discount is de minimis, i.e., less than the product of (i)
0.25% of the remaining principal amount of the Certificate, multiplied by (ii)
the weighted average maturity ("WAM") of the Certificate. The purchaser
generally will be required to recognize the market discount as ordinary income.
A purchaser of a Certificate with market discount generally will be required to
treat a portion of any gain on a sale, exchange, redemption, or other
disposition of the Certificate as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued,
but not previously taxable, market discount. A purchaser of a Certificate with
market discount also generally will be required to include market discount that
has accrued, but has not yet been recognized, in income to the extent of any
partial principal payments that are received. Market discount generally will
accrue ratably over the remaining term of the Certificate, unless the
Certificateholder irrevocably elects to accrue such market discount on the basis
of a constant interest rate.
A Certificateholder who has acquired a Certificate with market discount
generally must defer interest deductions attributable to any indebtedness
incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Certificate to the extent such
deductions exceed interest income on the Certificate. The amount of deferred
interest expense, however, is limited to the amount of market discount income
that accrues, but that is not recognized currently. Any such deferred interest
expense generally is allowed as a deduction not later than the year in which the
related market discount income is recognized. As an alternative to the inclusion
of market discount in income upon disposition of a Certificate, a
Certificateholder may elect to recognize market discount currently on an
uncapped accrual basis. In that case, the preceding interest expense deferral
rule will not apply. Any such election generally will apply to all market
discount instruments held or acquired by the Certificateholder in the taxable
year of election or thereafter.
63
Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet
been issued, and uncertainty exists with respect to many aspects of those rules.
Due to the substantial lack of regulatory guidance with respect to the market
discount rules, it is unclear how those rules will affect any secondary market
that develops for the Certificates. Prospective investors should consult their
own tax advisors regarding the application of the market discount rules to the
Certificates.
AMORTIZABLE PREMIUM
A purchaser of a Certificate who purchases the Certificate at a premium
over its stated principal amount generally may elect to amortize such premium
("Section 171 Premium") over the remaining term of the Certificate using a
constant yield method that reflects monthly compounding. Pursuant to Treasury
regulations issued on December 30, 1997, Section 171 Premium allocable to an
accrual period will be treated as an offset to interest income on a Certificate
allocable to such accrual period at the time the Certificateholder takes into
account the interest income under its method of accounting. Any Section 171
Premium allocable to an accrual period in excess of the interest income on a
Certificate allocable to such period will be carried forward to the next accrual
period. If a Certificateholder makes an election to amortize Section 171 Premium
on a Certificate, such election will apply to all taxable debt instruments
(including all Certificates) then owned and thereafter acquired by the
Certificateholder. Such election will be irrevocable without the consent of the
Service.
Section 171 Premium does not include any acquisition premium attributable
to the portion of a purchase price for a Certificate that exceeds the adjusted
issue price but not the stated principal amount of such Certificate. Purchasers
who pay a premium for the Certificates should consult their tax advisors
regarding the election to amortize premium and the method of accrual to be
employed.
SALE OR EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Upon the sale or exchange of a Certificate, a holder will recognize gain or
loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and its
aggregate adjusted basis in its pro rata share of the Bonds. In general, the
aggregate adjusted basis will equal the holder's cost for the Certificate
increased by the amount of any income (other than qualified stated interest)
previously reported with respect to the Certificate and decreased by the amount
of any losses previously reported with respect to the Certificate and the amount
of any distributions (other than qualified stated interest) received thereon.
Except with respect to market discount on the Bonds, and except for certain
financial institutions subject to the provisions of Code Section 582(c), such
gain or loss generally would be capital gain or loss if the Certificate was held
as a capital asset. However, gain on the sale of a Certificate will be treated
as ordinary income (i) if a Certificate is held as part of a "conversion
transaction", as defined in Code Section 1258(c), up to the amount of interest
that would have accrued on the holder's net investment in the conversion
transaction at 120% of the appropriate applicable Federal rate (under Code
Section 1274 (d)) in effect at the time the taxpayer entered into the
transaction, minus any amount previously treated as ordinary income with respect
to any prior disposition of property that was held as part of such transaction;
or (ii) in the case of a non-corporate taxpayer, to the extent such taxpayer has
made an election under Code Section 163(d) (4) to have net capital gains taxed
as investment income at ordinary income rates.
TAXATION OF FOREIGN INVESTORS
Under present United States Federal income tax law and subject to the
discussions of backup withholding below:
(a) if the Certificates are offered, sold and delivered, and
principal and interest thereon are paid, in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Agreement, payments of principal of and interest on the
Certificates to any holder that is not a U.S. Person will not be subject to
United States Federal withholding tax, provided that in the case of
interest, (1) the holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or
more of the capital or profits interest in the Borrower, (2) the holder is
not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Depositor or
Borrower through stock ownership, and (3) either (i) the beneficial owner
of the Certificate certifies to the Trustee or its agent, under penalties
of perjury, that it is not a U.S. Person and provides its name and address,
or (ii) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial
institution that holds customer's securities in the ordinary course of its
trade or business (a "financial institution") and holds the Certificate
on behalf of the beneficial owner certifies to the Trustee or its agent,
under penalties of perjury, that such statement has been received from the
beneficial owner by it or by a financial institution between it and the
beneficial owner and furnishes the payor with a copy thereof;
(b) a holder of a Certificate who is not a U.S. Person will not be
subject to United States Federal withholding tax on gain realized on the
sale or exchange of a Certificate; and
(c) a Certificate held by an individual who at the time of death is
not a citizen or resident of the United States will not be subject to
United States Federal estate tax as a result of such individual's death if
the individual does not actually or constructively own (i) 10% or more of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Depositor
entitled to vote or (ii) 10% or more of the capital or profits interest in
the Borrower, and the income on the Certificate would not have been
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the
individual in the United States.
Gain recognized by a non-U.S. Person on the disposition of a Certificate
will be subject to United States Federal income tax if (i) such gain is
effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by
64
such person within the United States (in which case the branch profits tax may
also apply if the person is a foreign corporation) or (ii) in the case of a
non-U.S. Person that is an individual, such person is present in the United
States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year
of the sale or exchange and certain other conditions are met.
If a non-U.S. Person is engaged in a trade business within the United
States and interest and premium, if any, on a Certificate is effectively
connected with the conduct of such trade or business, such person may be subject
to United States Federal income tax on such interest and premium at ordinary
Federal income tax rates on a net basis (in which case the branch profits tax
may also apply if the Person is a foreign corporation).
The IRS recently issued final regulations (the "New Regulations") which
would provide alternative methods of satisfying the certification requirement
described in clause (a) (3) above. The New Regulations are effective January 1,
although valid withholding certificates that are held on December 31, 1998,
remain valid until the earlier of December 31, 1999 or the due date of
expiration of the Certificate under the rules as currently in effect. The New
Regulations would require, in the case of Certificates held by a foreign
partnership, that (x) the certification described in clause (a) (3) above be
provided by the partners rather than by the foreign partnership and (y) the
partnership provide certain information, including a United States taxpayer
identification number. A look-through rule would apply in the case of tiered
partnerships.
Non-U.S. Persons should consult their own tax advisors concerning the
application of the certification requirements in the New Regulations.
BONDS
GENERAL
The following discussion is a summary of the anticipated material federal
income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of the Bonds
after the Permitted Merger and Security Release. The summary is based upon
current provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
and existing judicial and administrative rulings and decisions, all of which are
subject to change, prospectively or retroactively.
This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of federal income
taxation that may affect particular investors in light of their individual
circumstances, nor with certain categories of investors subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws. This summary focuses primarily on
investors who will hold the Bonds as "capital assets" (generally, property
held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, although
much of the discussion is applicable to other investors as well. The summary is
based on current law and there can be no assurance that the law will not change
or that the IRS will not take a position that would be materially adverse to
investors. Finally, the summary does not purport to address the anticipated
state and local income tax consequences to investors of the ownership and
disposition of the Bonds. Consequently, potential Bondholders are advised to
consult their own tax advisors concerning the federal, state, or local tax
consequences to them of the purchase, holding, and disposition of the Bonds.
No election will be made to treat the Borrower, the Mortgaged Properties,
or the arrangement by which the Bonds are issued as a REMIC for federal income
tax purposes. There are no regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions
involving the characterization for federal income tax purposes of securities
with terms substantially the same as the Bonds. In the opinion of Baker,
Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell, which opinion is filed as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the Bonds will be
treated as evidence of indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and not as
ownership interests in the Mortgaged Properties. Bondholders should be aware
that (i) Bonds held by a domestic building and loan association should
constitute "loans secured by an interest in real property" within the meaning
of Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v); (ii) Bonds held by a REIT should be treated
as "real estate assets" within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(5)(A); and
(iii) income derived from the Bonds should be considered "interest on
obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real
65
property" within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(B). Bonds held by a
regulated investment company or a REIT will not constitute "government
securities" within the meaning of Code Section 851 (b)(4)(A)(i) or Code Section
856(c)(5)(A).
Payments received by Bondholders on the Bonds generally should be accorded
the same tax treatment under the Code as payments received on other taxable
corporate bonds. Except as described below for Bonds issued with market discount
or premium, interest paid or accrued on a Bond will be treated as ordinary
income to the Bondholder and a principal payment on a Bond will be treated as a
return of capital to the extent that the Bondholder's tax basis in the Bond is
allocable to that payment. In general, interest paid to Bondholders who report
their income on the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting should
be taxable to them when received. Interest earned by Bondholders who report
their income on the accrual method of accounting will be taxable when accrued,
regardless of when it is actually received. The Indenture Trustee will report
annually to the IRS and to Bondholders of record with respect to interest paid
or accrued on the Bonds.
MARKET DISCOUNT
A subsequent purchaser of a Bond at a discount from its outstanding
principal amount will acquire such Bond with market discount. A Bond will not be
considered to have market discount, however, if the amount of such market
discount is de minimis, i.e., less than the product of (i) 0.25% of the
remaining principal amount of the Bond, multiplied by (ii) the weighted average
maturity ("WAM") of the Bond. The purchaser generally will be required to
recognize the market discount as ordinary income. A purchaser of a Bond with
market discount generally will be required to treat a portion of any gain on a
sale, exchange, redemption, or other disposition of the Bond as ordinary income
to the extent of the accrued, but not previously taxable, market discount. A
purchaser of a Bond with market discount also generally will be required to
include market discount that has accrued, but has not yet been recognized, in
income to the extent of any partial principal payments that are received. Market
discount generally will accrue ratably over the remaining term of the Bond,
unless the Bondholder irrevocably elects to accrue such market discount on the
basis of a constant interest rate.
A Bondholder who has acquired a Bond with market discount generally must
defer interest deductions attributable to any indebtedness incurred or continued
to purchase or carry the Bond to the extent such deductions exceed interest
income on the Bond. The amount of deferred interest expense, however, is limited
to the amount of market discount income that accrues, but that is not recognized
currently. Any such deferred interest expense generally is allowed as a
deduction not later than the year in which the related market discount income is
recognized. As an alternative to the inclusion of market discount in income upon
disposition of a Bond a Bondholder may elect to recognize market discount
currently on an uncapped accrual basis. In that case, the preceding interest
expense deferral rule will not apply. Any such election generally will apply to
all market discount instruments held or acquired by the Bondholder in the
taxable year of election or thereafter.
Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet
been issued, and uncertainty exists with respect to many aspects of those rules.
Due to the substantial lack of regulatory guidance with respect to the market
discount rules, it is unclear how those rules will affect any secondary market
that develops for the Bonds. Prospective investors should consult their own tax
advisors regarding the application of the market discount rules to the Bonds.
AMORTIZABLE PREMIUM
A purchaser of a Bond who purchases the Bond at a premium over its stated
principal amount generally may elect to amortize such premium ("Section 171
Premium") over the remaining term of the Bond using a constant yield method that
reflects monthly compounding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations issued on
December 30, 1997 1996, Section 171 Premium allocable to an accrual period will
be treated as an offset to interest income on a Bond allocable to such accrual
period at the time the Bondholder takes into account the interest income under
its method of accounting. Any Section 171 Premium allocable to an accrual period
in excess of the interest income on a Bond allocable to such period will be
carried
66
forward to the next accrual period. If a Bondholder makes an election to
amortize Section 171 Premium on a Bond, such election will apply to all taxable
debt instruments (including all Bonds) then owned and thereafter acquired by the
Bondholder. Such election will be irrevocable without the consent of the
Service.
Section 171 Premium does not include any acquisition premium attributable
to the portion of a purchase price for a Bond that exceeds the adjusted issue
price but not the stated principal amount of such Bond. Purchasers who pay a
premium for the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the election
to amortize premium and the method of accrual to be employed.
MISCELLANEOUS TAX ASPECTS
BACKUP WITHHOLDING. A Certificate holder or, after the Permitted Merger
and Security Release, a Bondholder may, under certain circumstances; be subject
to "backup withholding" at the rate of 31% with respect to "reportable
payments," which include interest payments and principal payments to the extent
of accrued, as well as distributions of proceeds from a sale of Bonds. Backup
withholding generally applies if the holder of a Certificate or a Bond, as the
case may be (i) fails to furnish the Indenture Trustee its social security
number or other taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), (ii) furnishes the
Indenture Trustee or the Borrower an incorrect TIN, (iii) fails to report
properly interest, dividends, or other "reportable payments," or (iv) under
certain circumstances, fails to provide the Indenture Trustee, the Borrower, or
such Certificate holder's or Bondholder's, as the case may be, securities broker
with a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the TIN is its
correct taxpayer identification number and that the Certificate holder or the
Bondholder, as the case may be, is not subject to backup withholding. Backup
withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to certain Certificate
holders or Bondholders, as the case may be, including corporations, certain
tax-exempt recipients (such as exempt organizations), and certain Non-U.S
Holders (as defined below) that comply with the requisite certification
procedures. Certificate holders or Bondholders, as the case may be, should
consult their tax advisors as to the application of backup withholding to
payments received by them with respect to the Certificates and the Bonds.
The Trustee will report to the Certificate holders and the Indenture
Trustee will report to the Bondholders (other than those that are exempt from
the backup withholding rules) and to the IRS within a reasonable time after the
end of each calendar year the amount of any "reportable payments" during such
year and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to payments on the
Certificates or the Bonds, as the case may be.
FOREIGN CERTIFICATE HOLDERS AND BONDHOLDERS. Under the Code, interest
income (including accrued interest recognized on the sale or exchange of a
Certificate or a Bond) paid or accrued with respect to Certificates or Bonds
held by nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign
partnerships, or certain foreign estates and trusts, or Certificate holders or
Bondholders holding on behalf of Non-U.S. Persons, generally will be treated as
"portfolio interest" and therefore will not be subject to any United States
federal income tax, provided that (i) such interest income is not effectively
connected with a trade or business in the United States of the Non-U.S. Person
and (ii) the Borrower or other person who otherwise would be required to
withhold tax from such payments (the "Withholding Agent") is provided with an
appropriate statement that the beneficial owner of a Certificate or a Bond is a
Non-U.S. Person. Interest income paid on Certificates or Bonds to Non-U.S.
Persons also will not be subject to withholding tax if (i) such interest income
is effectively connected with a United States trade or business conducted by the
Non-U.S. Person and (ii) the Non-U.S. Person files an IRS Form 4224 with the
Withholding Agent. Such effectively connected interest income, however,
generally will be subject to regular United States federal income tax. In other
circumstances, interest income paid to Non-U.S. Persons may be subject to United
States withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction by applicable
treaty).
TAX CONSIDERATIONS AFTER A FORECLOSURE FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS
If the Trustee were to acquire beneficial ownership, on behalf of the
holders, of a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, then, to the extent that a non-U.S. Person is treated as owning an
interest in the Foreclosed Property for United States Federal income tax
purposes, such non-U.S. Person would be subject to United States Federal
withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction
67
by applicable treaties) on its share of the gross income from the Foreclosed
Property (which amount could exceed such United States Alien's share of the net
income from the Foreclosed Property), unless such non-U.S. Person has in effect
an election to be taxed at normal U.S. tax rates on the net income from all U.S.
real property owned by such United States Alien. In addition, a non-U.S. Person
would be subject to tax in the same manner as a U.S. Person on any gain
recognized upon a sale of the Foreclosed Property. Ten percent of the gross
amount realized on the disposition of the Foreclosed Property that is allocable
to a non-U.S. Person is subject to withholding. The amount thereby withheld is
creditable against the actual amount of the non-U.S. Person's tax liability. An
interest in the Foreclosed Property deemed to be acquired by a non-U.S. Person
would be includable in such individual's estate for U.S. estate tax purposes. In
addition, depending upon the Trust's level of activities, its realization of
gain and how long the Trust held the Foreclosed Property, a non-U.S. Person may
be deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business for United States Federal
income tax purposes and be obligated to file United States Federal and state tax
returns.
DEDUCTIBILITY OF TRUST'S FEES AND EXPENSES
In computing its Federal income tax liability, a Certificate holder will be
entitled to deduct, consistent with its method of accounting, its share of
reasonable administrative fees, trustee fees and other fees paid or incurred by
the Trust as provided in Section 162 or 212 of the Code and any allowable
amortization deductions with respect to certain other assets of the Trust. If a
Certificate holder is an individual, estate or trust, the deduction for his
share of fees will be a miscellaneous itemized deduction that may be disallowed
in whole or in part.
DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX RULES APPLICABLE TO
CERTIFICATE HOLDERS OR BONDHOLDERS AND THE CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY THAT EXISTS
WITH RESPECT TO MANY ASPECTS OF THOSE RULES, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT
THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE ACQUISITION,
OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF THE CERTIFICATES OR THE BONDS.
STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAXES
Certificate holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to
state, local and foreign tax considerations relevant to an investment in the
Certificates.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), establishes fiduciary standards and other responsibilities for
fiduciaries of employee benefit plans subject to Part 4, Subtitle B, Title I of
ERISA ("ERISA Plans"). In addition, unless a statutory or administrative
exemption applies, ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code impose restrictions on
certain transactions (i.e. "prohibited transactions") involving the assets of
an ERISA Plan, a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or a person
treated as holding assets of such plans pursuant to Department of Labor
Regulation, 29 F.R. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets Regulation") or applicable law
and certain persons referred to as a "party in interest" under ERISA and a
"disqualified person" under Code Section 4975 with respect to such Plan. A
loan or other extension of credit, the provision of services or a sale or
exchange of property occurring between a Plan and a party in interest or
disqualified person with respect to such Plan might constitute a non-exempt
prohibited transaction.
Pursuant to the Plan Assets Regulation or applicable law, the Bonds and
other assets of the Trust may be treated, for purposes of ERISA and Code Section
4975, as if they were assets of a Plan acquiring a Certificate unless an
exception applies. There can be no assurances that any exception applies in
respect of the Trust. Therefore, absent an exemption from the prohibited
transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code, the purchase, holding or sale of
Class A Certificates by a Plan, or the operations of the Trust, might result in
a prohibited transaction.
Each investor in the Certificates or the Bonds will be deemed to have
represented that such investor (a) is not, and is not using the assets of, an
ERISA Plan or an employee benefit plan or other retirement plan or
68
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (b) has determined that the
purchase and holding of Certificates or Bonds, as the case may be, by such
investor would not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code because the relevant
conditions for exemptive relief under one or more of the following prohibited
transaction class exemptions have been satisfied: Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption ("PTCE") 96-23 (relating to transactions effected by in-house asset
managers); PTCE 95-60 (relating to certain transactions involving insurance
company general accounts); PTCE 91-38 (relating to investments by bank
collective investment funds); PTCE 90-1 (relating to investment by insurance
company pooled separate accounts); or PTCE 84-14 (relating to transactions
effected by a "qualified professional asset manager").
Due to the complexity of the rules and penalties under ERISA and the Code
applicable to Plans, potential Plan investors should consult their advisors and
counsel regarding whether the purchase and holding of the Bonds could give rise
to a transaction that is prohibited under ERISA or the Code. Potential investors
also should be aware that ERISA requires that the assets of a Plan be valued at
their fair market value as of the close of the plan year and that the Borrower
does not plan to provide any valuations to Bondholders.
LEGAL INVESTMENT
The Certificates will not constitute "mortgage related securities" for
purposes of the SMMEA. The appropriate characterization of the Certificates
under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors
subject to these restrictions to purchase the Certificates, may be subject to
significant interpretive uncertainties.
All depository institutions considering an investment in the Certificates
should review the "Supervisory Policy Statement on Securities Activities"
dated January 28, 1992, as revised April 15, 1994 (the "Policy Statement") of
the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. The Policy Statement,
which has been adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision, and by the National Credit Union
Administration (with certain modifications), prohibits depository institutions
from investing in certain "high-risk mortgage securities," except under
limited circumstances, and sets forth certain investment practices deemed to be
unsuitable for regulated institutions.
Institutions whose investment activities are subject to regulation by
federal or state authorities should review rules, policies and guidelines
adopted from time to time by such authorities before purchasing any
Certificates, as they may be deemed unsuitable investments, or may otherwise be
restricted, under such rules, policies or guidelines.
The foregoing does not take into consideration the applicability of
statutes, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines or agreements generally
governing investments made by a particular investor, including, but not limited
to, "prudent investor" provisions, percentage-of-assets limits, provisions
which may restrict or prohibit investment in securities which are not "interest
bearing" or "income paying," and provisions which may restrict or prohibit
investments in securities which are issued in book-entry form.
No representation is made as to the proper characterization of the
Certificates for legal investment purposes, financial institution regulatory
purposes, or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to
purchase the Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions. The
uncertainties described above (and any unfavorable future determinations
concerning legal investment or financial institution regulatory characteristics
of the Certificates) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Certificates.
Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to legal
investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements or review by
regulatory authorities should consult with their own legal advisors in
determining whether and to what extent the Certificates constitute a legal
investment or are subject to investment, capital or other restrictions.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subject to the terms and conditions of an Underwriting Agreement to be
entered into by the Depositor and the Underwriter, the Certificates will be
purchased from the Depositor by the Underwriter upon issuance. Proceeds to the
Depositor from the sale of the Certificates will be approximately % of the
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Certificates, before
deducting expenses payable by the Depositor.
In connection with the purchase and sale of the Certificates, the
Underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation from the Depositor in
the form of underwriting discounts. An affiliate of the Underwriter, Morgan
Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc., has entered into and may, in the future, enter
into other financing arrangements with affiliates of the Borrower.
The Borrower, MAALP and MAAC will agree to indemnify the Underwriter
against, or make contributions to the Underwriter with respect to, certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In connection with this offering, the Underwriter may purchase and sell the
Certificates in the open market. The Underwriter may also impose a penalty bid,
whereby selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers in respect of the
securities sold in the offering may be reclaimed by the Underwriter if such
Certificates are repurchased by the Underwriter in covering transactions. These
activities may maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the
Certificates, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in
the open market; and these activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any
time. These transactions may be affected in the over-the-counter market or
otherwise.
The Prospectus may only be issued or passed on in the United Kingdom to a
person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act

RATINGS OF THE CERTIFICATES
It is a condition to the issuance of the Certificates that they be rated no
lower than "Baa2" by Moody's and rated no lower than "BBB" by S&P. Moody's
has rated the Certificates through the Scheduled Final Distribution Date. S&P,
however, has rated the Certificates through the Expected Final Distribution
Date. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities
and may be subject to downgrade, withdrawal or qualification at any time by the
assigning rating organization as a result of changes in, or the unavailability
of, information. Neither Moody's nor S&P is rating the likelihood of receipt or
the timing of receipt of Default Interest under the Certificates.
The ratings assigned to the Certificates by each of the Rating Agencies are
based Primarily on its evaluation of the income-producing ability of the
Mortgaged Properties and reflect only the views of the Rating Agencies. Future
events, such as events affecting the Mortgaged Properties or the Borrower could
have an adverse impact on the rating of the Certificates. Although it is the
intent of the Depositor to retain the Rating Agencies to perform annual
monitoring and to provide the Rating Agencies with certain financial and other
information in connection therewith, none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or the Borrower is under an obligation to maintain any
particular rating, and the Rating Agencies are under no obligation whatsoever to
continue to issue any rating. A downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of a
rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Certificates but
will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture, the Bonds or the
Mortgages.
The ratings of the Rating Agencies address the likelihood of the timely
receipt by the holders of the Certificates of all payments (other than Default
Interest) to which such holders are entitled, including payment of all principal
(and any other amounts due under the Security Documents), in the case of
Moody's, by the Scheduled Final Distribution Date and, in the case of S&P, by
the Expected Final Distribution Date. The rating takes into consideration the
characteristics of the Certificates and the structural
71
and legal aspects thereof. The ratings do not, however, represent an assessment
of the likelihood or frequency of principal prepayments on the Bonds or the
corresponding effect on the yield to investors.
There can be no assurance that a rating agency other than the Rating
Agencies will not choose to rate the Certificates and publish such rating or
that such other rating agency would assign the Certificates a rating equivalent
to or higher than the ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies. See "Risk
Factors -- Ratings of the Certificates."

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet is presented as
if at September 30, 1997: (i) MAALP had contributed 20 apartment communities,
and the right to acquire the Reorganization Properties (as defined below) to the
Partnership in exchange for a 99% limited partnership interest in the
Partnership and the contributed properties were recorded at MAALP's historical
cost; (ii) MAACP, Inc. contributed $2.271 million cash in exchange for a 1%
general partnership interest in the Partnership (iii) the Partnership exercised
its right to acquire the Reorganization Properties and repaid notes payable of
approximately $22 million which were secured by the Reorganization Properties.
Additional amounts due in connection with the acquisition of the Reorganization
Properties were paid by MAALP on behalf of the Partnership.; (iv) the merger of
Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C. with and into the Partnership is consummated; (v)
the consummation of the Reorganization; (vi) the origination of the MSMC Loan
and the distribution of $116 million of the net proceeds to MAALP; (vii) the
Partnership had issued its $142,000,000 % First Mortgage Bonds Due 2003
(the Bonds); and (viii) the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are applied
as set forth in "Use of Proceeds."
The 26 communities contributed to or acquired by the Partnership (the
Mortgaged Properties) consist of (i) 20 properties at September 30, 1997
comprising Capital Partners Group (the CPG Properties); (ii) 5 properties
acquired on November 25, 1997 by the Partnership in connection with the
consummation of the merger of Flournoy Development Company (FDC) with and into
MAAC and the other transactions (collectively, the Reorganization Properties) as
described in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of September 15,
1997 (the Plan of Reorganization) between FDC, MAAC and MAALP consisting of 4
properties acquired from Brown-Flournoy Equity Income Fund Limited Partnership
(the Brown-Flournoy Properties) and Willow Creek; and (iii) one property
(Hermitage at Beechtree) which was acquired subsequent to September 30, 1997
through the merger of Hermitage at Beechtree, L.L.C. with and into the
Partnership. It is expected that MAALP and the Partnership will record
properties acquired in connection with the Plan of Reorganization using the
purchase method of accounting.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 have
been prepared as if each of the transactions described above and the Recent
Acquisitions (as defined below) had been consummated on January 1, 1996 and
assuming that the Partnership incurred no income tax expense. The Recent
Acquisitions are comprised of (i) the Reorganization Properties; (ii) Hermitage
at Beechtree; (iii) the acquisition in 1996 of 6 of the Communities containing
an aggregate of 1,760 apartment units (the 1996 Completed Acquisitions); and
(iv) the acquisition in 1997 of 2 of the Communities containing an aggregate of
490 apartment units (the 1997 Completed Acquisitions), (the Reorganization
Properties, Hermitage at Beechtree, the 1996 Completed Acquisitions and the 1997
Completed Acquisitions are collectively referred to as the Completed
Acquisitions). The 1997 Completed Acquisitions include Howell Commons, a 348
apartment unit property which was acquired for $13.0 million and Westside Creek
I, a 142 apartment unit property which was acquired for $6.1 million.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared by the
Partnership based on the historical financial statements of CPG, Brown-Flournoy
Equity Income Fund Limited Partnership (Brown-Flournoy), and the financial
statements for certain multifamily acquisition properties, which have been
included elsewhere herein. These unaudited pro forma financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the foregoing historical financial statements,
including the notes thereto. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary
to reflect the effects of the above have been made. These pro forma combined
financial statements are presented for comparative purposes only and are not
indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership would have been had the foregoing transactions occurred on the dates
indicated.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
NOVEMBER 24, 1997
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) is a special purpose
Delaware limited partnership. The sole purpose for which the Partnership has
been formed is to own and operate 26 apartment communities (the Mortgaged
Properties) to be contributed to the Partnership by Mid-America Apartments,
L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership (MAALP) or acquired directly by the
Partnership. The sole limited partner of the Partnership is MAALP, which is a
majority owned subsidiary of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (MAAC).
MAAC is a self-administered and self-managed umbrella partnership real estate
investment trust (REIT). MAAC conducts a substantial portion of its operations
through MAALP and subsidiaries of MAALP.
Distributions to the Partners relating to operations of the Mortgaged
Properties will be based upon net cash flow, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement. Profits, losses and distributions will be allocated to the Partners
in proportion with their ownership.
(2) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Partnership, through its ownership in the Mortgaged Properties, will be
party to various legal actions resulting from the operation of the Mortgaged
Properties. Management believes that these actions will not have a materially
adverse effect on the Partnership.
(3) SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
Subsequent to November 24, 1997 MAALP is expected to contribute its
interest in 20 of the Mortgaged Properties in exchange for a 99% limited
partnership interest in the Partnership. MAACP, Inc., (the General Partner), a
Tennessee corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MAAC, is expected to
contribute cash for a 1% general partnership interest in the Partnership.
Subsequent to November 24, 1997, the Mortgaged Properties were acquired by
the Partnership and were pledged to secure a $140 million loan (the MSMC Loan)
received from Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital, Inc. A portion of the proceeds
from the MSMC Loan were utilized in connection with the acquisition of certain
of the Mortgaged Properties and the remainder was distributed to MAALP.
The Partnership expects to issue $142 million aggregate principal amount of
% Bonds Due 2003 (the Bonds). The Bonds will be secured by a first priority
deed of trust, security agreement and assignment of rents and leases in respect
of the Mortgaged Properties. The net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be
applied to the MSMC Loan, utilized to fund costs of the offering and the
remainder will be distributed to MAALP.

==========
All of the properties are owned by MAALP, except Lakeside and Marsh Oaks
which are owned by MAAC.
The properties listed above are referred to collectively as the Capital
Properties Group (CPG).
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
The accompanying combined financial statements of CPG have been presented
on a combined basis because of their common ownership and because the Properties
are expected to be contributed to Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. (the
Partnership), in connection with the Partnership's issuance of Bonds (see note
7).
The accounts of each of the Properties comprising CPG are combined in the
financial statements. All significant inter-entity accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in combination. The combined
F-18
CAPITAL PROPERTIES GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
financial statements include the assets and liabilities, as well as the
operations of CPG, from the date that each Property was acquired by MAALP or
MAAC.
The accompanying combined financial statements include the revenues and
direct operating expenses of the Properties. Certain general and administrative
expenses and other costs which are incurred by MAALP on behalf of CPG are not
included in the financial statements. The Partnership will pay a management fee
(calculated as 4% of revenues) to MAALP for providing these services in the
future. Had the management fee been charged during 1996, 1995 and 1994, net
income would have been reduced by approximately $810, $580 and $190,
respectively. In addition, MAALP incurred debt to fund the acquisition and
improvement of certain of the Properties. The debt and related interest expenses
are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying interim unaudited financial information for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 had been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
combined results of CPG's operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been included. The results of operations for
such interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
CPG leases residential apartments under operating leases with terms
generally one year or less. Rental and other revenues are recorded when earned.
RENTAL OPERATIONS
CPG owns and operates apartment units which are leased to tenants on terms
of one year or less, with monthly payments due in advance. In management's
opinion, due to the number of tenants, the type and diversity of submarkets in
which the Properties operate, and the collection terms, there is no
concentration of credit risk.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for property
taxes, insurance, debt service and replacement reserves. The escrow deposits are
designated for certain operating expense payments.
REAL ESTATE ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Real estate assets are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or net
realizable value. Interest, property taxes and other development costs incurred
during construction is capitalized until completion. Repairs and maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations and
replacements are capitalized. The cost of interior painting, vinyl flooring and
blinds are expensed as incurred.
In conjunction with acquisitions of properties, CPG's policy is to provide
in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to complete any deferred maintenance
items to bring the properties to the required standards, including the cost of
replacement appliances, carpet, interior painting, vinyl flooring and blinds.
These costs are capitalized.
F-19
CAPITAL PROPERTIES GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Following a review of its capital expenditure and depreciation policy,
effective January 1, 1996, CPG implemented a new policy of which the primary
changes are as follows:
(a) Increase minimum dollar amounts to capitalize from $500 to
$1,000;
(b) For stabilized properties (generally, properties owned and
operated for at least one year), capitalize replacement purchases for major
appliances and carpeting of an entire apartment unit which was previously
expensed; and
(c) Reduce depreciation life for certain assets from 20 years to 10
to 15 years.
CPG believes that the newly adopted accounting policy is preferable because
it is consistent with policies currently being used by the majority of the
largest apartment REITs and provides a better matching of expenses with the
estimated benefit period. CPG's 1995 and 1994 financial statements were not
restated for the effect of the change in accounting policy. The policy has been
implemented prospectively effective January 1, 1996. The effect of the change in
depreciable lives was not material to combined net income of CPG.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets which range from 8 to 40 years for land improvements
and buildings and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation of
non-real estate assets was $19, $14 and $5 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
CPG periodically evaluates its real estate assets for impairment based upon
undiscounted cash flows and measures impairment based on fair value. This
determination is dependent primarily on the CPG's estimates on occupancy, rent
and expense increases, which involves numerous assumptions and judgments as to
future events over a period of many years. At December 31, 1996 CPG does not
hold any assets which meet the impairment criteria.
CPG adopted FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," effective January 1, 1996. The
new standard did not have a material impact on the combined financial statements
of CPG.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt
using a method which approximates the interest method.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, NET
MAALP provides cash management and vendor remittance services for CPG. Net
cash flows resulting from these services are treated as capital contributions or
distributions. In addition, MAALP provides funding for CPG's property
acquisition and improvement projects and for debt service related to the notes
payable included in the CPG financial statements. The amount of these funded
activities are contributed by MAALP to CPG as capital contributions. Capital
contributions, net for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
consisted of funds utilized (provided) by:

INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying
combined financial statements. Each partner is responsible for reporting his
share of taxable income or loss from the real estate investments.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The accompanying combined financial statements include an allocation of
general and administrative expenses and other costs incurred by MAALP on behalf
of CPG based upon 4% of total revenues.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management of the CPG has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(2) NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable are secured by real estate assets and consist of the
following:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 all notes payable were
repaid.
Certain of the mortgage notes payable require, among other things, escrow
balances for the payments of insurance, taxes, improvements and repairs.
In addition, certain of the Properties are subject to a negative pledge
agreement under MAALP's credit line agreement with a $30,403 outstanding balance
at December 31, 1996. It is anticipated that these restrictions will be removed
prior to the contribution of the Properties to the Partnership.
(3) FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, rental receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other
liabilities and security deposits are carried at amounts which reasonably
approximate their fair value.
F-21
CAPITAL PROPERTIES GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Fixed rate notes payable at December 31, 1996 and 1995 total $16.5 million
and $22.8 million, respectively, and have an estimated fair value of $16.7
million and $23.7 million (excluding prepayment penalties) based upon interest
rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. These notes were subject to
prepayment penalties which would be required to retire these notes prior to
maturity.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information
available to management as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. Although management is
not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair
value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
of these financial statements since that date, and current estimates of fair
value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Neither CPG nor MAALP is presently subject to any material litigation nor,
to their knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against CPG or MAALP,
other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some
of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance and none of which is
expected to have a material adverse effect on the combined financial statements
of CPG.
(5) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
MAALP employees at the Properties participate in employee benefit plans
sponsored by MAAC. Provided below is a summary of MAAC benefit plans available
to the employees.
401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan is a
defined contribution plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) and
401(k) of the Code. MAAC may, but is not obligated to, make a matching
contribution of $.50 for each $1.00 contributed, up to 6% of the participant's
compensation. During 1996 and 1995, MAALP made contributions to this plan of
approximately $13 and $3, respectively, on behalf of employees at the
Properties. These contributions are not included in the accompanying combined
financial statements. No contributions were made during 1994.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the ESPP) provides means for employees at the Properties to purchase common
stock of MAAC. The Board of Directors of MAAC has authorized the issuance of
150,000 shares for the plan. The ESPP is administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of MAAC who may annually grant options to
employees to purchase annually up to an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common
stock at a price equal to 85% of the market price of the common stock. During
1996 and 1995, the ESPP purchased 138 and 54 shares, respectively, with no
purchases made in 1994.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(the ESOP) is a non-contributory stock bonus plan that satisfies the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each employee at
the Properties is eligible to participate in the ESOP after attaining the age of
21 years and completing one year of service with MAAC. Participants' ESOP
accounts will be 100% vested after five years of continuous service, with no
vesting prior to that time. During 1996 and 1995, MAAC contributed approximately
$28 and $14, respectively, to the ESOP which purchased an additional 1,138 and
558 shares, respectively, with no contributions made in 1994. These
contributions are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
F-22
CAPITAL PROPERTIES GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
STOCK OPTION PLAN
MAAC has the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which
provides incentives to attract and retain independent directors, executive
officers and key employees. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of MAAC is responsible for granting Options and shares of Restricted Stock and
for establishing the exercise price of Options and terms and conditions of
Restricted Stock. During 1996 options were granted to employees at the CPG
properties to acquire 500 shares of MAAC common stock at an exercise price of
$26.50 per share. No options were granted to employees at the CPG properties
during 1995 or 1994. The effect of the 1996 grant is not included in the
accompanying combined financial statements of CPG.
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The accompanying combined financial statements include the revenues and
certain direct operating expenses of the Properties. MAALP provides the
Properties management and other services (including employee benefits) at no
charge and also provides funds for the acquisition and improvement of the
Properties. See Note 1.
(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
It is anticipated that the Properties, along with 6 additional properties
to be acquired by the Partnership (collectively the Communities), will either be
contributed to or acquired by the Partnership subsequent to September 30, 1997.
These transactions will result in MAALP having a 99% limited partnership
interest in the Partnership. The Partnership is expected to issue $142 million
of % Bonds Due 2003 (the Bonds) to be secured by a first priority deed of
trust, security agreement and assignment of rents and leases on the Communities.

BROWN-FLOURNOY EQUITY INCOME FUND
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION
Brown-Flournoy Equity Income Fund Limited Partnership (the "Fund") is a
Delaware limited partnership formed on June 25, 1986 to develop and operate four
residential apartment communities in Georgia and South Carolina. The capital
raised from the admission of investors enabled the Fund to acquire the
properties and improvements and complete construction. The properties are:
o Southland Station, a 160-unit apartment community in Warner Robins,
Georgia
o Park Place, a 184-unit apartment community in Spartanburg, South
Carolina
o Hidden Lake -- Phase Two, a 160-unit apartment community in Union
City, Georgia
o High Ridge, a 160-unit apartment community in Athens, Georgia
The General Partners are Brown-Equity Income Properties, Inc., the
Administrative General Partner, and John F. Flournoy, the Development General
Partner. The Class B Limited Partners are John F. Flournoy and Realty Associates
1986 Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Administrative General Partner.
The Fund will terminate on December 31, 2036, unless sooner terminated under the
provisions of the partnership agreement.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting. The Fund reports its operating results for income tax
purposes on the accrual basis. No provision for income taxes is made because any
liability for income taxes is that of the individual partners and not that of
the Fund.
(B) CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Fund considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(C) DEPRECIATION
Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line
method over the useful lives of the property and equipment as follows:
Buildings............................... 25 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment...... 10 years
(D) DEFERRED COSTS
Costs associated with marketing of the Class A limited partnership units to
the public were offset against the related partners' capital.
Loan fees incurred to obtain the original mortgage loans were capitalized
and were amortized on a basis that approximates the interest method over the
seven-year loan terms. These fees were fully amortized in 1996. Loan fees
incurred to obtain the new mortgage loans (note 6) have been capitalized and are
being amortized over the one-year loan terms.
(E) USE OF ESTIMATES
Management of the Fund has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses to
prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(F) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to
various market data and other valuation considerations. The fair value of
financial instruments approximate their recorded values.
(G) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO
BE DISPOSED OF, the Fund records impairment
F-31
BROWN-FLOURNOY EQUITY INCOME FUND
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances
indicate that the individual assets might be impaired, based on fair value, and
the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the carrying amounts of those assets. During 1996, no events or
circumstances indicated that the assets of the Fund were impaired. Prior to
1996, the Fund's investment in real estate was carried at the lower of net
realizable value or cost, net of accumulated depreciation, on an individual
property basis.
(H) INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying interim unaudited financial information for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 has been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
results of the Fund's operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, have been included. The results of operations for
such interim periods is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following, stated at cost, which
approximates market value at December 31:
1996 1995
------------ -----------
Cash and money market................ $ 532,655 428,716

1995............................... 934,710 1,018,963
------------ -----------
$ 1,467,365 1,447,679
============ ===========
Restricted cash represents amount retained from tenant security deposits
and totaled $110,890 and $130,542 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Administrative General Partner received $52,795, $41,644, and $41,314
in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, for reimbursement of costs associated
with administering the Fund, including clerical services, investor communication
services, and reports and filings to regulatory authorities.
Flournoy Properties, Inc., an affiliate of the Development General Partner,
is the managing agent for the properties and earned management fees of $239,995,
$232,242, and $222,578 representing 5% of the gross monthly operating revenues
from the properties during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
(6) MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE
The Fund's General Partners secured first mortgage loans aggregating $20.8
million on August 30, 1989 which were secured by the land, apartment units, and
all other improvements to the four apartment
F-32
BROWN-FLOURNOY EQUITY INCOME FUND
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
properties. These loans were for an original term of seven years with an
interest rate of 9.6%. Interest only was payable monthly through September 1994,
and thereafter monthly payments were based on a 30-year amortization schedule
with a balloon payment due at the end of the seven-year term.
The mortgage loans matured on September 1, 1996. The Fund refinanced these
loans with Columbus Bank and Trust. The terms of the commitment provide for
interest only payments of prime plus 1% in monthly installments and a term of
one year. The new loans totaled $20,400,000 and provided proceeds sufficient to
satisfy the repayment of the old mortgage loans, and all costs of the
refinancing. The Fund is required to pay a commitment fee of one point payable
in advance in quarterly installments. Interest of $1,932,975, $1,945,936, and
$1,953,991 was paid during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively.
The Fund extended the maturity date of its mortgage loans with Columbus
Bank and Trust from September 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997. The Fund was not
required to pay a commitment fee related to the extension. The Fund intends to
repay these balances with proceeds from capital transactions.
(7) LOSSES FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
The Fund's losses for federal income tax purposes in each of the last three
years ended December 31 differs from the net losses for financial reporting
purposes due to differences in the Fund's computation of tax depreciation and in
1995, different treatment of the additional net settlement proceeds (note 10).
For Federal income tax purposes, real property (other than land) and personal
property, are being depreciated over 27 1/2 and seven years, respectively, using
the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, and the additional net settlement
proceeds (note 10) are being treated as a reduction to the adjusted tax basis of
the Southland Station property. The tax losses for 1996, 1995, and 1994 are as
follows:
1996 1995 1994
------------ ---------- ----------
Losses for financial reporting
purposes........................... $ (371,349) (116,742) (411,601)

(8) PARTNERS' CAPITAL (DEFICIT)
The partnership agreement provides, among other provisions, for the
following:
(a) The Fund will consist of the General Partners, the Class A
Limited Partners, and the Class B Limited Partners.
(b) Distributions to the Partners relating to operations of the
properties will be based on net cash flow, as defined in the partnership
agreement. Investors will receive 98% of net cash flow and the General
Partners will each receive 1%. Profit and loss from operations will be
allocated in the same proportions. Net loss per Class A Limited Partnership
interest as disclosed on the statements of operations is based upon 27,000
units outstanding.
(c) Net proceeds of sale or operational stage financing of the
properties will be distributed as follows:
o To pay any deferred fees payable to the General Partners and

DESCRIPTION
The accompanying financial statement includes the operations of certain
properties (the Acquisition Properties) owned by parties unaffiliated with
Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. (the Partnership). The Acquisition Properties
were acquired by Mid America Apartment, L.P. (MAALP) on the dates indicated
below except for Hermitage at Beechtree which was acquired by the Partnership.
MAALP is expected to contribute the Acquisition Properties, along with other
properties owned by MAALP, to the Partnership in exchange for a 99% limited
partnership interest in the Partnership. The Acquisition Properties included in
the financial statement are as follows:

Hermitage at Beechtree... Cary, NC 194 November 3, 1997
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statement is not representative of the actual
operations for the periods presented. Certain expenses have been excluded
because the Partnership does not anticipate that they will be incurred in future
operations of the property. Expenses excluded consist of depreciation and
amortization, management fees and other costs not directly related to the future
operations of the Acquisition Properties. Interest expense has been included in
the Historical Summary to the extent that a bond payable is assumed in
connection with the acquisition of the Acquisition Property. Operating expenses
include payroll, utilities, advertising and other general and administrative
costs. Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these
Acquisition Properties that would cause this financial statement not to be
indicative of future operating results as related to revenue and certain
expenses.
The accompanying combined historical summary of gross income and direct
operating expenses for certain multifamily acquisition properties was prepared
for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for inclusion in registration statement on Form S-3 of
Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. and excludes material amounts that would not
be comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
properties.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Revenues from rental property are recognized when due from tenants. Leases
are generally for one year or less.
INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial information includes revenues and
certain expenses of the Acquisition Properties from January 1, 1997 to the
earlier of September 30, 1997 or the date of acquisition by MAALP. The unaudited
information has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the historical statement of
revenues and certain expenses for the period have been included. The results of
operations for such interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the full year.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND TRUSTEE
The Certificates of Incorporation of the General Partner and the Depositor
obligate the General Partner and the Depositor, respectively, to indemnify and
advance expenses to present and former directors and officers to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware law. The Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors
and officers, among others, against judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or
reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding to which they may be
made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities if (i) such
persons conducted themselves in good faith, (ii) they reasonably believed, in
the case of conduct in their official capacities with the corporation, that
their conduct was in the best interests and, in all other cases, that their
conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests and (iii) in the case of
any criminal proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe that their
conduct was unlawful.
Any indemnification by the General Partner or the Depositor pursuant to the
provisions of their respective Certificates of Incorporation described above
shall be paid out of the assets of the General Partner or the Depositor, as the
case may be, and shall not be recoverable from the stockholders of such
entities. To the extent that the foregoing indemnification provisions purport to
include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable. The
General Partner and the Depositor will purchase director and officer liability
insurance for the purpose of providing a source of funds to pay any
indemnification described above.
The DGCL permits the Certificate of Incorporation of a Delaware corporation
to include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of its
directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except that such provision cannot eliminate or
limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
the law or (iii) for unlawful distributions that exceed what could have been
distributed without violating the DGCL or the corporation's charter. The
Certificates of Incorporation of the Depositor and the General Partner,
respectively, contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of its
directors or officers to the General Partner or the Depositor or its
shareholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law
from time to time.
The Agreement of Trust, as amended and restated, obligates the Depositor
and MAAC, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Trustee for any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with or related to the Trustee's
performance of its powers and duties under the Trust Agreement, including in
connection with the Trustee's execution of the Registration Statement and the
preparation and distribution of related documents.
II-1
Any indemnification by the Depositor and MAAC of the Trustee pursuant to
the Trust Agreement shall be paid out of the assets of the Depositor and MAAC,
as the case may be, and shall not be recoverable from the stockholders of such
entities. To the extent that the foregoing indemnification provisions purport to
include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants
II-2
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form or prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake to file an application
for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
Subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the
rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of
the Act.
(d) The undersigned Registrants herbey undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrants' annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
