Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this communication (the Transaction Assignment Agreement) dated as of March

and assumption by Assignee of all of the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Confirmation
Letters (collectively, the Confirmation Letters) for the Transactions entered into between MLCS
and Assignor as specified on Schedule I attached hereto (collectively, the Transactions) in
connection with that certain ISDA Master Agreement, together with the Multicurrency-Cross Border
Schedule and Credit Support Annex thereto, between MLCS and Assignor dated as of December 31, 2001
and as amended, restated/or supplemented from time to time (the Prior Agreement).
Centerline Holding Company (Guarantor), as successor to CharterMac, a Delaware statutory
trust, unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Assignor under the Prior Agreement and, by its
signature hereto, consents to and acknowledges the assignment to and assumption by Assignee of the
rights and obligations of Assignor thereunder and the obligations of Guarantor with respect to the
Transactions by virtue of that that certain Reaffirmation of Guarantee, dated as of the date hereof
(the Reaffirmation), among MLCS, Guarantor, Assignor and Assignee.
This Transaction Assignment Agreement (including Schedule I) supplements, forms part of, and
is subject to that certain ISDA Master Agreement, together with the Multicurrency-Cross Border
Schedule and Credit Support Annex thereto (as amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to
time, collectively, the Agreement), between MLCS and Assignee dated as of even date herewith.
All
provisions contained in the Agreement shall govern this Transaction Assignment Agreement and
the Transactions, except as expressly modified below.
Assignment Provisions. Upon the execution and delivery of this Transaction Assignment
Agreement by all the parties hereto, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties will be deemed to have agreed, on the Assignment Trade
Date, as follows:
(a) | Assignor sells, assigns, transfers, and sets over to Assignee, its successors and permitted
assigns, all of its right, title, and interest in, to, under, and in respect of, the
Transactions including, without limitation, its rights to the collateral securing Remaining
Party under the Prior Agreement which it hereby directs Remaining Party to transfer to the
collateral account of Assignee which transfer shall be a condition precedent to the assignment
hereunder. Assignor releases and discharges Remaining Party from, and agrees not to make any
claim against Remaining Party with respect to, any obligations of Remaining Party arising and
to be performed under and in respect of the Transactions. |
(b) | Assignee accepts such sale, assignment and transfer and assumes and agrees to perform each
and every obligation of Assignor arising and to be performed under the Transactions on and
after the date hereof, with the same force and effect as if Assignee had been a party to the

under each of the Confirmation Letters previously were amended by Assignor and MLCS pursuant
to that certain Amendment to Swap Documents, dated as of December 27, 2007, and now shall
apply to Assignee as set forth under the Credit Support Annex to the Multicurrency-Cross

report regarding the payment status of each bond issue and any other indebtedness secured by
the Properties (as defined in the Agreement). |
(c) | Remaining Party consents to the sale, assignment and transfer by Assignor and the assumption
by Assignee referred to above. Remaining Party releases and discharges Assignor from, and
agrees not to make any claim against Assignor with respect to, any obligations of Assignor
arising and to be performed under and in respect of the Transactions on or after the date
hereof provided nothing herein shall affect the obligations of the Guarantor under the
Reaffirmation. Assignee agrees that Assignee shall be liable for any obligations in respect
of the Transactions whether or not such obligations relate to events or circumstances that
arose prior to the date hereof. |

Remaining Party that: (i) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
the law of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) it has all requisite power and authority
to assign and delegate to Assignee its rights and obligations under the Transactions as
