Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

MMA Realty Capital Repurchase Subsidiary, LLC ("MRC-RS"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant, has entered into a Mortgage Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2006, and other ancillary agreements (collectively, the "Repurchase Facility") with Wachovia Bank, National Association (the "Bank"). The Repurchase Facility provides for the Bank to purchase up to $260,000,000 of certain qualifying mortgage loan assets from MRC-RS, subject to MRC-RS’s obligation to repurchase such mortgage loan assets from the Bank and the other terms and conditions of the Repurchase Facility. These mortgage loan assets will be repurchased by MRC-RS from the Bank by September 13, 2006, at which time the facility expires. MRC-RS may, at its option, repurchase mortgage loan assets prior to the expiration of the Facility. The registrant has guaranteed all obligations of MRC-RS under the Repurchase Facility, and the stock of MRC-RS has been pledged to the Bank as collateral for its obligations under the Repurchase Facility.

The Repurchase Facility provides for the Bank to receive an investment return rate with respect to each mortgage loan asset purchased, based on the time during which the Bank holds the mortgage loan asset, at the one month London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread.

The Repurchase Facility requires the registrant to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum liquidity, a maximum consolidated senior indebtedness ratio, and a minimum consolidated interest and distributions coverage ratio. The Repurchase Facility also requires MRC-RS to post additional collateral to the Bank in the event that the value of the mortgage loan assets purchased by the Bank declines below certain thresholds.

The Repurchase Facility contains customary events of default including, among others, (a) the failure of MRC-RS to repurchase a mortgage loan asset at the time required, (b) the failure to pay the principal and interest received by MRC-RS for mortgage loan assets sold under the facility, (c) the failure to pay certain other amounts required to be paid under the facility, (d) breach of representations, warranties or covenants, (e) the insolvency of the registrant, MRC-RS or certain other affiliates of the registrant, and (f) the acceleration of certain other indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of such events, among other remedies, the Bank may accelerate the repurchase date for the mortgage loan assets.
