Section 6.2.1
, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the
Basic Documents shall have been approved by the Members;
22
4.3.2.7 Property Manager has executed a Property Management Agreement in the
form attached hereto as
Exhibit F
;
4.3.2.8 There shall be no default under any Acquisition Contract by either
purchaser or seller thereunder;
4.3.2.9 No event of Bankruptcy has occurred and no event has occurred which
with the passage of time could become an event of Bankruptcy, with respect to
Managing Member, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, provided, however,
that for purposes of this subsection only, the term
Affiliate
shall not
include officers, directors or employees of Managing Member in their respective
individual capacities; and
4.3.2.10 No party to any of the Project Agreements is in breach of any
provision thereof to be observed or performed by such party.
At such time as Fannie Mae has determined in its reasonable discretion that the
conditions listed in this
Section 4.3.2
have been satisfied, Fannie Mae
shall deliver its Additional Capital Contribution to the Company.
4.3.3 If a Member fails to make any required Additional Capital Contribution, the other
Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect in its sole option one of the
following:
4.3.3.1 Make the Additional Capital Contribution to the Company which the
non-contributing Member failed to make on behalf of the non-contributing Member and
to treat the Additional Capital Contribution made by such Member on behalf of the
non-contributing Member as a loan by the contributing Member to the non-contributing
Member. The terms and conditions of such loan shall be as follows:
(a) simple interest shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the
lesser of the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) or the maximum rate of
interest chargeable under applicable law;
(b) the non-contributing Member shall pay all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the contributing Member or
in collecting the principal of, and interest on, such loan; and
(c) until the principal of, and interest on, such loans have been
repaid in full, any distributions of Net Cash Flow, Capital Proceeds or
Terminating Capital Proceeds which would otherwise have been made to the
non-contributing Member shall be made to the contributing Member and applied
to such loan.
4.3.3.2 Contribute the non-contributing Members pro rata share of such
Additional Capital Contribution, and elect to both (i) decrease the Percentage
23
Interest of the non-contributing Member pursuant to the formula described in
subsection (a) below, and (ii) decrease the percentage of distributions to which the
non-contributing Member is entitled under
Sections 5.1.1.5
,
5.1.1.6
,
5.1.2.5
,
5.1.2.6
and 5.1.5 (including for purposes of liquidation
upon dissolution) (the
Distribution Percentage
) pursuant to the respective
percentages determined in accordance with subsection (b) below, as follows:
(a) Decrease the Percentage Interest of the non-contributing Member
(but not below zero) for all purposes under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, distributions pursuant to
Section 5.1
) such
that, immediately after such decrease, the Percentage Interest of the
non-contributing Member shall be a percentage equal to the Percentage
Interest of such non-contributing Member immediately prior to such decrease
minus a percentage equal to the amount of the Additional Capital
Contribution that such non-contributing Member failed to contribute, divided
by the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions theretofore made by the
Members (including the contributing Members contribution of its pro rata
share and the non-contributing Members pro rata share), and concomitantly,
the Percentage Interest of the contributing Member(s) shall be increased by
the Adjustment Amount (hereafter defined). The amount of the decrease in
the non-contributing Members Percentage Interest is the
Adjustment
Amount
. By way of example only, (1) if Fannie Mae had contributed
$8,000,000 and Managing Member had contributed $2,000,000, (2) $1,000,000
Additional Capital Contribution was required and (3) Managing Member failed
to contribute its pro rata share (i.e., 20% of $1,000,000 or $200,000), then
after Fannie Mae contributed $1,000,000, Managing Members Percentage
Interest would be decreased by 1.8181% to 18.1819% (i.e., 20%
-$200,000/$11,000,000) and Fannie Maes Percentage Interest would be
increased by 1.8181% to 81.8181%;
(b) Decrease the non-contributing Members Distribution Percentages in
the same proportion as the non-contributing Members Percentage Interest was
decreased pursuant to subsection (a) above. In addition, the contributing
Members Distribution Percentage shall be increased by the same amount by
which the non-contributing Members Distribution Percentage is decreased
pursuant to this subsection (b) (pro rata in proportion to their respective
contributions made on behalf of the non-contributing Member). If there are
subsequent adjustments to the Percentage Interests and the Distribution
Percentages, then such adjustments shall be made in a proportionate
reduction with reference to the non-contributing Members original
Percentage Interest and the original Distribution Percentages. Following
the example set forth above, Managing Members Distribution Percentage would
be decreased in the same proportion as its Percentage Interest is decreased
(i.e., a decrease to 90.91% of its original Distribution Percentage because
18.1819%/20% is a reduction to 90.91% of Managing Members Percentage
Interest).
24
Accordingly, Managing Members final Distribution Percentage would be
decreased from 50% to 45.455% and Fannie Maes Distribution Percentage would
be increased to 55.545%; and
(c) Managing Member will promptly give each Member written notice of
its Percentage Interest, as adjusted, and its Capital Account balance each
time an adjustment occurs; provided, that failure to give such notice shall
not in any way affect or otherwise nullify any adjustment made pursuant to
this
Section 4.3.3.2
.
4.3.3.3 Provide for the Company to set off the amount of the requested and
unmade Additional Capital Contribution, plus interest at the rate of twelve percent
(12%) per annum, compounded monthly, against any amounts which would otherwise be
payable by the Company to the non-contributing Member under this Agreement or any
Related Agreement; provided however there shall be no right of set off pursuant to
this
Section 4.3.3.3
with respect to any Related Agreement of Fannie Mae or
its Affiliates that is related to financing.
4.3.3.4 In the event the Company (a) allows the termination of, or (b) is
forced to terminate an Acquisition Contract due to a non-contributing Members
failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution, and the Company incurs a loss of
earnest money or other expense in connection with the termination of such
Acquisition Contract, then the non-contributing Member shall be liable to the
Company and the Company may seek indemnification for such loss of earnest money or
other expense and all related costs and expenses of the Company including expenses
of the Company incurred in connection with due diligence and other costs related to
determining the suitability of the property which is the subject of the Acquisition
Contract, all costs incurred in connection with the negotiation of any letter of
intent, term sheet and related documents, financing fees (e.g., application fees,
commitment fees, and costs in connection with any Mortgage Loan), and the costs of,
litigation, and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, if any, incurred in
connection with any terminated Acquisition Contract or any other third party
expense. In addition, the non-contributing Member shall be liable for and shall
indemnify the contributing Member for any and all other actual, out-of-pocket loss,
cost, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred
by the contributing Member as a result of the non-contributing Members failure to
make an Additional Capital Contribution. In the event the Company shall terminate
an Acquisition Contract due to a non-contributing Members failure to make an
Additional Capital Contribution, then the non-contributing Member and its Affiliates
shall not be entitled and shall not acquire, directly or indirectly, all or any
portion of the property that was the subject of such terminated Acquisition Contract
for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the later of (i) termination of
the Acquisition Contract or (ii) satisfying all indemnification obligations under
this
Section 4.3.3.4
.
4.3.3.5 Rather than terminate an Acquisition Contract due to a non-contributing
Members failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution,
25
the contributing Member may require the Company, and shall be authorized, to
assign the Acquisition Contract, including all the benefits and obligations
thereunder and in connection therewith, to the contributing Member or its designee
for the purposes of closing the Acquisition Contract for its or its designees own
account. If such assignment is requested, the contributing Member and/or its
designee shall reimburse the Company for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the
Company or funds, such as earnest money, deposited by the Company pursuant to the
terms of or in connection with such Acquisition Contract and assignment thereof.
4.3.3.6 The contributing Member may request a return of any Additional Capital
Contribution it has made to the Company in connection with a non-contributing
Members failure to make the required Additional Capital Contribution.
4.3.3.7 If the Managing Member is the non-contributing Member, then Fannie Mae
shall have the right to remove Managing Member as the Managing Member pursuant to
Section 11.2
hereof.
4.3.4 Managing Member hereby grants to Fannie Mae a security interest (within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware) in the Managing
Members entire Membership Interest as security for such Members obligations to repay the
principal of, interest on, and other amounts payable in connection with, the loans to the
Managing Member set forth in
Section 4.3.3.1
(collectively, the
Secured
Obligations
). If Managing Member defaults in paying the Secured Obligations, Fannie
Mae has the right to exercise all of the rights and remedies of secured parties under the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware with respect to the Managing
Members Membership Interest. Within five (5) days after a request by Fannie Mae, Managing
Member shall deliver to Fannie Mae financing statements and continuation statements as
Fannie Mae reasonably requests for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted
by this
Section 4.3.4
(and if Managing Member does not so deliver the financing
statements, Fannie Mae is hereby authorized to file any such financing statements in order
to perfect its security interests). This Agreement is intended to constitute a security
agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the conclusion of the
sale of the Managing Members Membership Interest pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, the purchaser at the sale shall be an Assignee but a purchaser other than
Fannie Mae or its designee shall not become a Member unless admitted pursuant to
ARTICLE
X
of this Agreement.
Section 4.4
Wire Transfers
. The Capital Contributions required by
Section 4.2
and
Section 4.3
and any loans under
Section 4.9
shall be made by wire transfer of
funds in dollars to a Company account designated by the Managing Member and approved by Fannie Mae.
Section 4.5
Capital Accounts
. Each Members Capital Account shall be maintained in
accordance with the following provisions:
26
4.5.1 Each Members Capital Account shall be credited with the amounts of such Members
Capital Contributions (net of any liabilities secured by such Contributed Property or
assumed by the Company), such Members distributive share of Profits and any items in the
nature of income or gain which are specially allocated to the Member pursuant to
ARTICLE
V
;
4.5.2 Each Members Capital Account shall be charged with the amounts of cash and the
Carrying Value of any property (net of any liabilities secured by such distributed property
or assumed by the Member) distributed by the Company to such Member pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, such Members distributive share of Losses and any items in the
nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated to the Member pursuant to
ARTICLE V
; and
4.5.3 If all or a portion of a Members Membership Interest is Transferred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital
Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Membership Interest;
This
Section 4.5
and other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of
Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Members after
consultation with Accountant, determine that it is necessary and prudent to modify the manner in
which the Capital Accounts, or any charges or credits thereto (including charges or credits
relating to liabilities which are secured by contributions or distributed property or which are
assumed by the Company or by Members), are computed in order to comply with such Regulations,
Managing Member may make such modification, but only if it is not likely to have a material effect
on the amounts to be distributed to any Member pursuant to
Section 5.1
or pursuant to
Section 13.3
upon the dissolution of the Company or other Material Adverse Effect on the
Members. Managing Member also shall (a) make any adjustments that may be necessary or appropriate
to (i) maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of capital
reflected on the Companys balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, and (ii) accurately
reflect the underlying economic arrangement of the Members in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (b) make any appropriate modifications if unanticipated events might
otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).
Section 4.6
Interest on and Return of Capital Contributions
. No Member shall be
entitled to any interest on its Capital Account or on its Capital Contributions except to the
extent expressly provided in this Agreement. No Member shall have the right to demand or receive
property other than cash in return for the contribution of such Member to the Company. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or Assignee shall be entitled to demand the return
of the Members Capital Account or Capital Contribution at any particular time, except upon
dissolution of the Company. Unless otherwise provided by law, no Member or Assignee shall be
personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any part of any other Members Capital
Account or Capital Contribution, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital pursuant
to this Agreement shall be made solely from the assets (which shall not include any right of
contribution from a Member or Assignee) of the Company.
27
Section 4.7
No Further Capital Contribution
. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement or with the prior written consent of all the Members, no Member shall be required or
entitled to contribute any other or further capital to the Company, nor shall any Member be
required or entitled to loan any funds to the Company.
Section 4.8
No Third Party Beneficiary Rights
. The provisions of this
ARTICLE
IV
are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or any other Person (other than a
Member in his or her capacity as such) to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by
(or who otherwise has any claim against) the Company or any of the Members; and no such creditor or
other Person shall obtain any right under any of such provisions or shall by reason of any of such
provisions make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against
the Company or any of the Members.
Section 4.9
Borrow Funds
. In addition to or in lieu of requesting Additional Capital
Contributions from the Members pursuant to
Section 4.3
, the Company shall have the right to
borrow funds sufficient to finance its obligations on such terms and conditions, including rate of
interest and maturity, as approved by the Members; provided, however, that in lieu of borrowing
from third parties, any one or more of the Members may, if approved by the other Member(s), from
time to time make advances to the Company to meet such requirements, provided that all Members are
given an opportunity to make such advances in accordance with their Percentage Interests
(collectively
Company Loans
). Any such advance made by a Member to the Company shall not
be considered a Capital Contribution, but shall constitute a debt of the Company to the advancing
Member, payable at such time and on such terms as all Members may agree. Payments made to an
advancing Member will be credited first to interest and then to principal. At the request of the
Member making the advance, the Company will execute a promissory note evidencing this debt.
Section 4.10
Mortgage Loans
. Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain a Mortgage Loan for each Property which, unless otherwise approved by Fannie Mae,
shall not exceed (a) for acquired Properties, seventy percent (70%) of the sum of (i) the total
rehabilitation costs for such Property as set forth in the applicable Rehabilitation Budget and
(ii) the net purchase price of the Property; or (b) for development Properties, eighty percent
(80%) of the sum of (i) the total development costs of such Property as set forth in the applicable
Rehabilitation Budget and (ii) the net purchase price of the Property. The Members acknowledge that
Fannie Mae or an Affiliate of Fannie Mae from time to time may purchase any mortgage loans secured
in whole or in part by the Companys interests in and to a Subsidiary or in its related Property.
Such loan(s) will be treated in all respects (including, without limitation, for purposes of
determining Net Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds) as though it were made by an unrelated third party
lender, and such loan(s) will not be deemed to be or otherwise constitute a Capital Contribution.
Managing Member and any other Member of the Company expressly acknowledge that Fannie Maes
Membership Interest in the Company is equity and not debt. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the
classification and treatment for income tax purposes of such loan(s) as a non-recourse debt or
recourse liability shall be made and governed by the Code. The Managing Member further agrees that
the fact that Fannie Mae or an Affiliate of Fannie Mae may purchase the Mortgage Loan shall not
affect the rights and obligations of the lender of the Mortgage Loan or the rights and obligations
of Fannie Mae or the Managing Member hereunder and that, upon the occurrence of an event of default
under the Mortgage Loan:
28
4.10.1 The lender of the Mortgage Loan may exercise all rights and remedies permitted
thereunder and by applicable law (subject to the limitations set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Documents) without regard to whether Fannie Mae or an Affiliate of Fannie Mae shall then be
a member in the Company;
4.10.2 Neither the lender of the Mortgage Loan nor Fannie Mae (or its Affiliates) shall
be under any fiduciary duty or have any other obligation to exercise or to forebear from
exercising any rights and remedies under the Mortgage Loan or to take or refrain from taking
any action under the Mortgage Loan Documents;
4.10.3 No Member shall be obligated to cure any default under the Mortgage Loan
Documents or to fund any Capital Contributions except upon the express terms and subject to
satisfaction of all conditions in this Agreement, and
4.10.4 Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or any Member (a) shall have as a defense
to any claim for payment from a lender under a Mortgage Loan, or (b) claim or advocate in
any legal or administrative proceeding, the subordination of priority of a Mortgage Loan (or
any other disposition of such Mortgage Loan) to any other loan or obligation of a Subsidiary
or the Company or to any class of equity investors in the Company, by reason of the
investment by Fannie Mae in the Company, on the one hand, and the ownership of a Mortgage
Loan by Fannie Mae, on the other hand.

the beneficiary of any indebtedness, the interest on which is exempt from federal

Tax Exempt Bond Financing
), or
that expects to incur any such Tax Exempt Bond Financing, or
4.11.1.2 in the case of a Subsidiary in which the Company has already acquired
an interest, consent to the Subsidiarys incurring of any such Tax Exempt Bond
Financing, unless the Managing Member first gives written notice to Fannie Mae of
the name of the actual or anticipated bond holder, the bond issuer, the dollar
amount of the bond issue, Form 8038 (if issued), the name of the Subsidiary and such
other material descriptive information pertaining to the bonds as may be requested
by Fannie Mae, and either (a) Fannie Mae notifies the Managing Member that Fannie
Mae does not own the bonds, and will not be credit-enhancing or providing liquidity
with respect to such bonds, or (b) Fannie Mae notifies the Managing Member that
Fannie Mae does own the bonds, and Fannie Mae gives its consent pursuant to
Section 4.11.2
below.
4.11.2
Credit Enhancement
. If any Property is, or is anticipated to be,
financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of Tax Exempt Bond Financing for which Fannie
Mae is providing credit-enhancement or liquidity (a
Fannie Mae Credit Enhanced Bond
Loan
), then the Managing Member shall request Fannie Maes consent prior to the
29
Company acquiring an interest in the applicable Subsidiary or to the Companys
consenting to such financing. Fannie Mae may grant or withhold such consent in its sole
discretion.
4.11.2.1 If Fannie Mae determines that the bond documents prohibit an equity
investment by Fannie Mae, then the Managing Member shall not permit the Company to
invest in the Subsidiary, or to consent to such financing, and the Managing Member
shall cease its activities relating to such investment, unless Fannie Mae, obtains
(a) an amendment to the bond documents, in a form satisfactory to Fannie Mae in its
sole discretion, removing such prohibition, (b) an updated opinion of bond counsel
confirming the tax-exempt status of the bonds notwithstanding the foregoing
amendment and an equity investment by Fannie Mae, and (c) such other, consents, or
waivers or other documentation as may be required by Fannie Mae (collectively, such
amendment, opinion and documentation are hereinafter the
Required
Documentation
). The final determination of whether any Required Documentation
must be obtained shall be in the sole discretion of Fannie Mae.
4.11.2.2 The Managing Member shall not cause or permit the Company to invest,
directly or indirectly, in any Subsidiary or investment that has obtained, or is
expected to obtain, any loan or other financing funded in whole or in part with the
proceeds of a tax-exempt private activity bond issuance, nor consent to any
Subsidiary obtaining any such loan or other financing if Fannie Mae has notified the
Managing Member that it is, or is expected to become, a holder, owner or purchaser
of such bonds.
Section 4.12
Release of Managing Member
. Unless otherwise approved by Fannie Mae, all
Mortgage Loans and all other indebtedness of the Company and/or Subsidiaries shall provide (a) for
the substitution of Fannie Mae or its designee in place and stead of Managing Member as managing
member of the Company without further Lender consent, and (b) upon such substitution, a release of
any Guarantors liability if Managing Member is a seller under
Section 12.1

below.
Section 4.13

. Except with the express written
consent of Fannie Mae, the Managing Member shall not cause or permit any Mortgage Loan to be

Fannie Mae of a Form 2530 Participation Certification or similar report with the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development or any successor agency.
Section 4.14
Waiver of Right of Partition and Dissolution
. No Member has any interest
in specific Company property. The interests of all Members in the Company are, for all purposes,
personal property and each of the Members irrevocably waives any right or power to cause the
Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for the
assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company
pursuant to any applicable law or laws, or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at
law or in equity to cause the termination or dissolution of the Company except as expressly
provided for in this Agreement. No Member shall have any interest in any specific

assets of the Company, and no Member shall have the status of a creditor of the Company with
respect to any distribution pursuant to

Contributions to the Company except as provided in this
ARTICLE IV
. Except as required by
the Act, no Member shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations
of the Company, solely by reason of its capacity as a Member. The failure of the Company to
observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or the management of
its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal
liability on the Members for liabilities or obligations of the Company.
ARTICLE V.

) equal to twenty percent (20%)
multiplied by
the total amount to be distributed to the Members pursuant to such
Section
multiplied by
the percentage of the amount to be distributed to Managing
Member pursuant to such Section
minus
the Managing Members Percentage Interest (the
Holdback
). For example, if $500.00 were to be distributed to the Members in a
Tranche where Managing Member were to receive a thirty-five percent (35%) interest and
Managing Members Percentage Interest were twenty percent (20%), the Holdback amount would
be $15.00 (.20
multiplied by

multiplied by
(.35
minus
.20)).

33
Member shall pay the Holdback into an escrow account, in a mutually acceptable
institution (the
Holdback Account
). Amounts maintained in such Holdback Account
shall be used to pay for any shortfall in the distribution to Fannie Mae of its Fannie Mae
Preferred Return and the return of Fannie Maes Unreturned Capital pursuant to
Section
5.1.1.2
,
Section 5.1.1.3
,
Section 5.1.1.4
,
Section 5.1.2.2
,
Section 5.1.2.3
and
Section 5.1.2.4
; with respect to such Tranche (the
Shortfall
)
. Interest on the Holdback Account and the principal thereof not
distributed to Fannie Mae pursuant to the proceeding sentence shall be paid to Managing
Member. Distribution for each Tranche shall be subject to such Holdback and release of
funds. So long as a class of unsecured senior debt securities of UDR, Inc. are rated
investment grade by at least one of Standard & Poors, Moodys Investors Service or Fitch
Ratings. Managing Member may elect to have the Holdback withheld from a specific Tranche
distributed under
Sections 5.1.1.5
and
5.1.2.5
, as applicable, to Managing
Member if (a) Guarantor agrees in writing to pay Fannie Mae any such Shortfall upon the last
Capital Transaction involving a Tranche or (b) Managing Member pays such Shortfall on such
terms as Fannie Mae shall approve in its sole discretion; provided that, if after Managing
Members election to deliver such guaranty, a class of UDR, Inc.s unsecured senior debt
securities shall no longer be rated investment grade by at least one of Standard & Poors,
Moodys Investors Service or Fitch Ratings, then Managing Member shall immediately deposit
in the Holdback Account the lesser of the full amount of the Holdback or the Shortfall.

percent (75%) for distributions arising with respect to Tranche 1.
5.1.5

discretion; provided however such Person shall be experienced in issues relating to
compliance with the Fair Housing Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1981, as

Exclusivity

shall present to Fannie Mae, in reasonable detail, any opportunities to acquire or develop,
directly or indirectly, any Property that Managing Member or any Affiliate thereof would reasonably
pursue for its own account and which satisfies the Investment Criteria in accordance with the
following procedures:
18.20.1 In connection with each proposed acquisition, the Managing Member shall deliver
to Fannie Mae a written notice including the proposed terms of the transaction. Fannie Mae
shall have ten (10) Business Days following the day of its receipt of such information to
provide to Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, a written disapproval or
written preliminary approval of the proposed acquisition presented to Fannie Mae. If Fannie
Mae does not initially approve or if it rejects such proposed acquisition within such ten
(10) Business Day period, then Managing Member shall have the right for an additional
forty-eight (48) hours to obtain an equity investor on the same terms as set forth in this
Agreement provided that Managing Member shall not consummate a proposed acquisition with
such other equity investor if Fannie Mae shall approve of such investment within twelve (12)
Business Days of receipt of the written notice. Fannie Maes failure to respond in writing
within such twelve (12) Business Day period shall be deemed a disapproval of the proposed
acquisition. If Fannie Mae disapproves or is deemed to disapprove of any proposed
acquisition, Managing Member shall no longer pursue such proposed acquisition on behalf of
the Company (although the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates shall have the right to
pursue such acquisition on behalf of itself or any Affiliate or any other client of Managing
Member, provided that (a) the offering price of such acquisition to an alternative investor
shall not be less than ninety-seven percent (97%) of, (b) the terms and conditions of the
acquisition shall not be materially more favorable than that presented to Fannie Mae, with
the Managing Member, or other Affiliate acting in good faith in connection with such
pursuit, and (c) the Managing Member shall pay, or if advanced by the Company or Subsidiary,
reimburse the Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, all third party costs incurred in
connection with due diligence conducted with respect to such Property). Managing Member
acknowledges that Fannie Maes preliminary approval of a proposed acquisition is not a
binding commitment to acquire such Property, and Fannie Mae may disapprove a proposed
acquisition in its sole and absolute discretion without liability hereunder at any time
after granting preliminary approval for any reason whatsoever.
18.20.2 Once Fannie Mae has given its preliminary approval for a proposed acquisition,
a comprehensive and thorough due diligence review must be conducted
84
before the proposed acquisition can be considered for final approval. The Members
agree that the primary responsibility for such review shall rest with the Managing Member.
To that end, the Managing Member and counsel selected for the Company shall review all
material documentation relating to the proposed acquisition, including, without limitation,
the documentation set forth in
Section 4.3.2.2
hereof and those materials identified
on
Exhibit L
hereto. The Managing Member shall retain copies of all of the
foregoing documentation, and shall make such documentation available to Fannie Mae at any
and all reasonable times requested by Fannie Mae. The Managing Member shall provide at a
minimum, such information to Fannie Mae as is required in that listing of due diligence
materials attached hereto as
Exhibit L.
18.20.3 Upon completion of the foregoing due diligence review, the Managing Member
shall provide such additional due diligence materials and information relating to the
proposed acquisition as may reasonably be requested by Fannie Mae or its counsel for review.
No later than five (5) Business Days after Fannie Maes receipt of all of the requested due

Breadth of Coverage.
UDRs master property insurance policy is a manuscript form and covers a broad range of perils and
loss based on the unique nature of the exposure of apartment complexes in multiple states.
Coverage highlights:
|
|
|
Resultant damage from mold and fungus.
|
|
|
|
|
Asbestos containment and remediation resulting from an insured peril.
|
|
|
|
|
Flooding that results from rainfall as well as storm surge

Cost
D-1
UDRs master property insurance policy contains two self-insurance components. First, a$ 100 K
deductible per occurrence
(deductible)
applies to all losses and second, a $5 M deductible above
$100 K per occurrence and in the aggregate
(aggregate deductible)
applies. In order to lower the
self-insured exposure for Texas JV properties which pay deductibles based on ownership interest, we
have obtained a deductible buy-down policy from third party insurance companies to cover the $5 M
aggregate deductible at a cost of $250 K, thus lowering the deductible to $100 K per occurrence.
The deductible buy-down policy will go into force upon inception of the JV agreement and remain in
effect for 12 months, regardless of the policy period related to the UDR master policy. See the
table below for comparisons of cost for stand-alone property policies for the Texas JV portfolio.
Excess layers of insurance on UDRs master program up to the full $100 M limit of liability are
insured by third party insurance companies with the exception of 50% of the layer $25 M excess of
$25 M (please see attached graphical representation of coverage). Cost of the excess layers of
insurance is approximately $280 K. Risk of loss associated with the excess layers is assumed 100%
by UDR.
UDR has reviewed several different options for property / hazard insurance as outlined below and
believes option A provides the best combination of coverage and price.

General Liability Insurance, Policy Period 03.15.2007 06.15.2008
Carriers
Four insurers participate on a layered basis in the master liability insurance program. The primary
carriers have AM Best Ratings of A+ XV.
Deductible Structure.
|
|
|
Commercial general liability loss:
|
|
$500 K.
|
Pollution liability loss:
|
|
$500 K.
|
D-2
Limits of Liability.
|
|
|
Commercial general liability loss:
|
|
$125 M per occurrence and in the aggregate.
|
Pollution liability loss:
|
|
$5 M per occurrence and in the aggregate.
|
Breadth of Coverage.
UDRs master liability policy is a non-manuscript policy that covers a broad range of losses based
on the premises liability exposure of apartment complexes in multiple states. As the commercial
general liability policy does not cover pollution loss, we have obtained a separate premises
pollution liability policy that responds to damage such as mold, lead based paint, and domestic or
foreign terrorism including nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks.
Cost
The cost of general liability and umbrella liability coverage is $45,000 and is allocated on a per
unit basis.
Workers Compensation Insurance, Policy Period 03.15.2007 06.15.2008
Carriers
Four insurers participate on a layered basis in the master liability insurance program. The primary
carriers have AM Best Ratings of A+ XV.
Deductible Structure

Limits of Liability
|
|
|
National Program (excluding Texas):
|
|
$100 M per occurrence and in the aggregate.
|
Texas Injury Benefit Plan:
|
|
$35 M per occurrence and in the aggregate.
|
Breadth of Coverage
UDRs national master workers compensation policy is a statutory policy that covers work related
injury and lost wages as required by each state in which UDR operates. As allowed by law in Texas,
UDR has chosen to opt-out of the statutory workers compensation system and created an ERISA based
occupational injury benefit plan. The self-insured portion of the benefit plan in Texas is $250 K,
the same as the national master program.
D-3
Other Insurance
UDR has obtained additional insurance policies that are customary for apartment owner operators,
including:
Employee Dishonesty Insurance, $5 M limit with a $200 K deductible. Miscellaneous Professional
Liability Insurance, $1 M limit with $10 M deductible.

EXHIBIT F
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
This Property Management Agreement (this Agreement) is entered into as of the ___day of
November, 2007 (the Effective Date), between UDR LAKELINE VILLAS LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (Owner) and UDR WESTERN RESIDENTIAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (Manager).
ARTICLE I.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AGENCY AND RENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Section
1.1 Exclusive Agency. Owner hereby appoints Manager and Manager hereby accepts appointment on the
terms and conditions set forth herein as the sole and exclusive renting and management operating
agent of the apartment project known as Lakeline Villas, located at 2201 South Lakeline Boulevard,
Cedar Park, TX 78613 (such project referred to herein as the Project). Owner warrants and
represents to Manager that Owner owns fee simple title to the Project with all requisite authority
to appoint Manager and enter into this Agreement.
Section
1.2 Owners Representatives. Owner shall designate one or more persons to serve as Owners
Representatives (Owners Representatives) in all dealings with Manager hereunder. Whenever the
approval, consent or other action of Owner is called for hereunder, such approval, consent or
action shall be binding on Owner if specified in writing and signed by the Owners Representatives.
The initial Owners Representatives shall be Kathy Clem and Jamie LaCaze. The Owners
Representatives may be changed at the discretion of Owner, at any time, and such change, with
respect to Manager, shall be effective upon Managers receipt of written notice from Owner
identifying the new Owners Representatives.
Section
1.3 Leasing of Premises. Manager shall perform all promotional, leasing and management activities
required to lease apartment units in the Project as directed by Owner. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to lease apartment units in the
Project. Subject to reimbursement by Owner and pursuant to the Operating Budget (as defined
below), Manager shall advertise the Project, or portions thereof, prepare and secure advertising
signs, space plans, circular matter, marketing brochures and other forms of advertising. Owner may
authorize Manager to advertise the Project in conjunction with institutional advertising campaigns
and allocate costs on a prorata basis among the projects being advertised (to the extent authorized
by the Annual Business Plan defined below). All inquiries for any leases or renewals or agreements
for the rental of the Project or portions thereof shall be referred to Manager and all negotiations
connected therewith shall be conducted solely by or under the direction of Manager. Owner shall
notify Manager of any requirements with respect to affordable dwelling units applicable to the
Project and Manager shall comply with any such requirements. Manager is hereby authorized to
execute, deliver and renew leases on behalf of Owner including, but not limited to tenant and
commercial leases (such as laundry room leases), provided that such new leases are on forms
previously agreed to by Owner or that are used at
F-1
other properties within the State of Texas operated by Manager or its affiliates and are at
rates (including concessions) previously agreed to by Owner, including those approved as part of
the Annual Business Plan. Manager is authorized to utilize the services of apartment locator
services and web or internet based advertising and the fees of such services shall be (to the
extent included in the Operating Budget) operating expenses of the Project and, to the extent paid
by Manager, reimbursable by Owner.
Section
1.4 Managers Standard of Care. In performing Managers duties under this Agreement, or otherwise
discharging the agency established by this Agreement, Manager shall exercise the same degree of
care, prudence, and skill that Manager exercises in the management of Managers own properties
and/or that is generally exercised in the apartment management industry. Manager will not be
liable to Owner for any act or omission that is undertaken in good faith and with the same degree
of care, prudence, and skill as Manager exercises in the management of its own properties and/or
that is generally exercised in the apartment management industry.
Section
1.5 Owners Representations. Owner assumes all liability as to the quality and construction of
the Property other than for damages caused by Managers failure to oversee a construction project
in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Owner further represents and
warrants that as of the date of the execution of this Agreement the Property is in compliance with
all applicable Federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and ordinances,
including but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Federal Fair Housing Act,
the Federal 1990 Clean Air Act, all other state and local accessibility requirements and the
applicable building code affecting the Property. Further Owner agrees, subject to Section 1.4, to
defend and indemnify Manager against, and hold it harmless from, all damages, claims, loss, cost or
expense arising out of the breach of the foregoing representations and warranties and from any
violation, breach or failure to comply with any environmental or hazardous materials laws
(including those environmental matters enumerated in Article VI of this Agreement), rules,
regulations and/or ordinances of applicable governmental entities regarding the Property. Owner
shall further protect and indemnify Manager against, and hold it harmless from, all damages,
claims, loss, cost or expenses arising out of actual or alleged defects, whether latent or patent,
in the Property including but not limited to, water damage, indoor air quality issues, mold growth,
structural defects, and second hand smoke of the Property, or for any breach or alleged breach of
any legal duty or obligation which is by law or under this Agreement the responsibility of Owner.
In no event will Manager be liable to Owner for any consequential loss or damage, unless Manager is
required to provide indemnification to Owner pursuant to Section 2.7(c) of this Agreement in
connection with the action giving rise to such loss or damage.
ARTICLE
II.
SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY MANAGER
Section
2.1 Expense of Owner. All acts performed by Manager in accordance with this Agreement and in
connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be performed as the
agent of Owner, and all obligations or expenses incurred thereby, shall be for the account of, on
behalf of, and at the expense of Owner, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article
II and except that Owner shall not be obligated to reimburse Manager for
F-2
any expense (i) allocable to time spent on projects other than the Project, (ii) related to
any personnel other than personnel located at the Project site and personnel spending a portion of
their working hours (to be charged on a prorata basis) at the Project site or in specifically
performing Managers obligations hereunder, whether on or off the Project site or (iii) not
included in the Operating Budget or otherwise approved by Owner. Manager may use employees
normally assigned to other work centers or part-time employees to properly staff the Project,
including staffing related to reduced, increased or emergency work load and the like, including the
property manager, business manager, assistant managers, leasing directors, or other administrative
personnel, maintenance employees or maintenance supervisors. Any property manager or business
manager at the Project and any other persons performing functions substantially similar to those of
a business manager, including but not limited to assistant managers, leasing directors, leasing
agents, sales directors, sales agents, bookkeepers, and other administrative and/or maintenance
personnel performing work on behalf of the property, and on-site maintenance personnel, shall not
be considered executive employees of Manager. Owner acknowledges that the following miscellaneous
expenses, when incurred solely in respect to the performance of Managers obligations under this
Agreement, shall be reimbursable by Owner (which list of expenses is not intended to be
all-inclusive): courier services, postage, photocopies, signage, check printing, marketing
expenses, bank charges, telephone and answering service (which may be allocated on a prorata basis
among the Project and other projects managed by Manager). All reimbursable payments made by
Manager hereunder shall be reimbursed from funds deposited in an account established pursuant to
Section 4.2 of this Agreement. Manager shall not be obligated to make any advance to or for the
account of Owner or to pay any sums, except out of funds held in an account maintained under
Section 4.2, nor shall Manager be obligated to incur any liability or obligation for the account of
Owner without assurance that the necessary funds for the discharge thereof will be provided by
Owner. All debts and liabilities to third persons incurred by Manager in the course of its
operation and management of the Project and in accordance with this Agreement shall be the debts
and liabilities of the Owner only, and Manager shall not be liable for any such debt or
liabilities, except to the extent Manager has exceeded its authority hereunder.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall not be entitled
to be reimbursed by Owner for any expense(s) or cost(s) to the extent that such expense(s) or
cost(s) are not set forth in the Operating Budget or the Capital Budget.
Section
2.2 Covenants Concerning Payment of Operating Expenses. Owner covenants to pay all sums for
operating expenses required to operate the Project in excess of gross receipts upon written notice
and demand from Manager within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice. Owner further
recognizes that the Project may be operated in conjunction with other properties, and costs may be
allocated or shared between such other properties in order to create more efficient or less
expensive services. In such regard, Owner consents to the allocation of costs and/or the sharing
of any expenses in an effort to save cost or operate the Project in a more efficient manner so long
as such allocation is done on an equitable basis and so long as the computations of such
allocations are provided to Owner pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof. Further, Manager agrees that
Owner shall be entitled to receive, either as cost reductions or by rebate from Manager, its pro
rata (based on the number of projects or properties benefiting therefrom) share of such expense
reductions.
F-3
Section 2.3 Employment of Personnel. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to investigate, hire, pay,
supervise and discharge the personnel necessary to be employed by it to properly maintain, operate
and lease the Project, including without limitation a property manager or business manager at the
Project. Such personnel shall in every instance be deemed agents or employees, as the case may be,
of the Manager. Owner has no right of supervision or direction of agents or employees of the
Manager whatsoever. All Owner directives shall be communicated to Managers senior level
management employees. Manager shall provide Owner with either: (i) evidence of a professional
liability insurance policy with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per claim and a deductible of no
more than $10,000 per claim or (ii) a surety bond in favor of Owner with equivalent coverage. All
reasonable salaries, wages and other compensation of personnel employed by Manager to perform
services in connection with the Project, including so-called fringe benefits, Workers
Compensation, medical and health insurance and the like, shall be deemed to be reimbursable
expenses of Manager. Manager may allow its employees to reside at the Project for reduced rents,
provided that such leases shall be on a month-to-month basis and provide for termination on no more
than 30 days notice to the applicable tenant.
Section 2.4 Utility and Service Contracts. Manager shall enter into, at Owners expense and in Owners
name or in Managers name, as agent for Owner, contracts on commercially reasonable terms for
water, electricity, gas, fuel, oil, telephone, vermin extermination, trash removal, cable
television, security protection and other services reasonably deemed by Manager to be necessary or
advisable for the operation of the Project. Manager shall also place orders in the name of Owner
for such equipment, tools, appliances, materials, and supplies as are reasonable and necessary to
properly maintain the Project. Manager may make such contracts and place such orders in Owners
name or in its own name, as Owners agent. Owner agrees to pay or reimburse Manager for all
expenses and liabilities incurred by reason of this Section 2.4.
Section 2.5 Maintenance and Repair of Property. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to maintain, at
Owners expense, the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Project in good condition and
repair and in accordance with standards established by Owner in writing from time to time,
including interior and exterior cleaning, painting and decorating, plumbing, carpentry,
landscaping, clean-up and such other normal maintenance and repair work as may be reasonably
desirable taking into consideration the amount allocated therefore in the Annual Business Plan (as
defined below). With respect to any expenditure not contemplated by the Annual Business Plan,
Manager shall not incur any individual item or repair or replacement in excess of Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000.00) unless authorized in writing by Owners Representatives, excepting, however,
that emergency repairs immediately necessary for the preservation and safety of the Project or to
avoid the suspension of any service to the Project or danger of injury to persons or damage to
property may be made by Manager without the approval of Owners Representatives. Owner shall not
establish standards of maintenance and repair which violate or may violate any laws, rules,
restrictions or regulations applicable to Manager or the Project. Manager shall not be obligated
by this Section 2.5 to perform any major capital improvements.
Section 2.6 Supervision of Capital Improvements or Major Repairs. When requested in writing by the Owner
or set forth in an Approved Business Plan, Manager, at Owners expense and in Owners name or in
Managers name, as agent for Owner, shall supervise the installation and construction of all
capital improvements or major repairs to the Project where such work
F-4
constitutes other than normal maintenance and repair, for additional compensation as set forth
in a separate agreement. In such events, Manager may negotiate contracts with all necessary
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, architects, and engineers on behalf of, and in
the name of, Owner, and may compromise and settle any dispute or claim arising therefrom on behalf
of and in the name of Owner; provided only that the Manager shall act in good faith at all times.
Manager will furnish all personnel necessary for proper supervision of the work and may assign
personnel located at the Project to such supervisory work (and such assignment shall not reduce or
abate any other fees or compensation owed to Manager under this Agreement). Owner acknowledges
that Manager, or an affiliate of the Manager, may bid on any such work, and that the Manager, or an
affiliate of the Manager, may be selected to perform part or all of the work; provided that if the
Manager desires to select itself, or its affiliate to do any work, it shall first notify the Owner
of the terms upon which it, or its affiliate, proposes to contract for the work, and terms upon
which the independent contractors have offered to perform, and shall state the reasons for
preferring itself, or its affiliate, over independent contractors and Owner shall have ten (10)
days to disapprove the Manager, or its affiliate, and to request performance by an independent
contractor. Only Owner shall have the power to compromise or settle any dispute or claim arising
from work performed by the Manager, or its affiliate; and it is expressly understood that the
selection of the Manger, or its affiliate, will not affect any fee or other compensation payable to
Manager hereunder.
Section 2.7 Insurance.
(a) At Owners written request and expense, Manager shall obtain and keep in force all
forms of insurance required by law or reasonably deemed by Owner or Manager necessary or
needed to adequately protect Owner and Manager, including but not limited to workers
compensation insurance, public liability insurance, boiler insurance, fire and extended
coverage insurance, and burglary and theft insurance. All insurance coverage shall be
placed with such companies, in such amounts and with such beneficial interest appearing
therein as shall be reasonably acceptable to Owner, and reasonably obtainable by Manager and
shall be in conformity with the requirements of any mortgage on the Project. If Manager
obtains the insurance coverage requested by Owner, Owner assumes all risks in connection
with the adequacy of any insurance coverage, and waives any claim against Manager for any
liability, cost of expense arising out of any uninsured property or casualty, in part or in
full, of any nature whatsoever; provided, however, that public liability insurance shall be
maintained in such amounts as Owner and Manager jointly agree. All general public liability
and other liability policies carried by or for Owner shall name Owner and Manager as
insureds and obtaining said coverage is a condition precedent to Manager performing its
responsibilities hereunder. Owner or Manager, as applicable, shall provide to the other
party certificates evidencing such insurance coverage prior to Managers actually assuming
management of the Project. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to investigate and make a
written report to the insurance company as to all accidents, claims for damage relating to
the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Project, any damage or destruction to the
Project and the estimated cost of repair thereof, and shall prepare any and all reports for
any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports shall be timely filed with
the insurance company as required under the terms of the insurance policy involved.
F-5
Nothing in this Section 2.7 nor any insurance obtained or applied for by Owner or
Manager shall be construed as implying that Owner or Manager is subject to a liability it
would not otherwise be subject to.
(b) Owner and Manager mutually agree for the benefit of each other to look first to the
appropriate insurance coverage in effect pursuant to this Agreement in the event any demand,
claim, action, damage, loss, liability or expense occurs as a result of injury to person or
damage to property, regardless whether any such demand, claim, action, damage, loss,
liability or expense is caused or contributed to, by or results from the negligence of Owner
or Manager or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, directors, officers,
agents or independent contractors and regardless whether the injury to person or damage to
property occurs in and about the Project or elsewhere as a result of the performance of this
Agreement, except for claims arising out of or relating to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Manager to which Section 2.7(c) shall apply. Except for claims that are
covered by the indemnity contained in Section 2.7(c) below, Owner agrees that Owners
insurance shall be primary without right of subrogation against Manager with respect to all
claims, actions, damage, loss or liability in or about the Project. Nevertheless, in the
event such insurance proceeds are insufficient to satisfy (or such insurance does not cover)
the demand, claim, action, loss, liability or expense, Owner agrees, at its expense, to
indemnify and hold Manager and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
employment, agents or independent contractors harmless to the extent of the excess
liability. For purposes of this Section 2.7(b), any deductible amount under any policy of
insurance shall not be deemed to be included as part of collectible insurance proceeds.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall
indemnify and hold harmless Owner, and its representative subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, agents or independent contractors, from all demands, claims,
actions, loss, liability or expense which is determined to have resulted from a breach of
this Agreement by Manager in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement.
(d) Subject to Section 2.7(c), in no event shall Manager have any liability to Owner or
others for any acts of vandalism, trespass or criminal activity of any kind by tenants or
third parties on or with respect to the Project and Owners insurance shall be primary
insurance without right of subrogation against Manager regarding claims arising out of or
resulting from acts of vandalism, trespass or criminal activity.
Section
2.8
Collection of Monies. Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect all
rents and other charges due from tenants, users of garage spaces (if any), commercial lessees (if
any) and concessionaires (if any) in respect of the Project and otherwise due to Owner with respect
to the Project in the ordinary course of business, provided that Manager does not guarantee the
credit worthiness of any tenants, users, lessees, concessionaires or collectibility of accounts
receivable from any of the foregoing. Owner authorizes Manager to request, demand, collect,
receive and receipt for all such rent and other charges and to institute legal proceedings in the
name of Owner, and at Owners expense, for the collection thereof, and for the
F-6
dispossession of tenants and other persons from the Project or to cancel or terminate any
lease, license or concession agreement for breach or default thereunder, and such expense may
include the engaging legal counsel for any such matter; provided that Manager may not expend more
than $3,000 with respect to any one such action or $10,000 in aggregate in any 12-month period
without Owners prior written consent. All monies collected by Manager shall be deposited in the
separate bank account referred to in Section 4.2 herein.
Section
2.9
Manager Disbursements.
(a) Manager shall, from the funds collected and deposited, cause to be disbursed
regularly and punctually (1) Managers compensation in accordance with Section 3.1, together
with all sales or other taxes (other than income taxes), which Manager is obligated to
collect and pay to the State of Texas or any other governmental authority with respect to
such compensation, (2) the amounts reimbursable to Manager under this Agreement, (3) the
amount of all real estate taxes and other impositions levied by appropriate authorities
which, if not escrowed with any mortgagee, shall be paid upon specific written direction of
Owner before interest begins to accrue thereon; and (4) amounts otherwise due and payable as
operating expenses of the Project authorized to be incurred under the terms of this
Agreement. After disbursements as herein specified and after establishing a cash reserve to
pay taxes, insurance, and/or other costs and expenses incidental to the operation of the
Project, including nonrecurring emergency repairs and capital expenditures which shall
become due and payable within the succeeding calendar month and for which the cash to make
such payments may not be generated by operations during such period, any balance remaining
at the end of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement shall be disbursed or
transferred as generally or specifically directed from time to time by Owners
Representatives.
(b) The provisions of this Section 2.9 regarding disbursements by Manager shall not
include the payment of debt service related to any mortgages of the Project. Owner agrees
that payments of this nature shall be the responsibility of Owner.
(c) All costs, expenses, debts and liabilities owed to third persons that are incurred
by Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in the course of managing, leasing
and operating the Project shall be the responsibility of Owner and not Manager. Owner
agrees to provide sufficient working capital funds to Manager so that all amounts due and
owing may be promptly paid by Manager. Manager is not obligated to advance any funds. As
of the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement, Manager will project the
cash requirements for such month and (if it shall reasonably determine that collections will
be insufficient to meet such cash requirements) request, such request including appropriate
supporting documentation, the necessary additional funds from the Owner, which funds will be
deposited with the Manager in the segregated bank account referred to in Section 4.2 upon
ten (10) days notice. If at any month end, the bank balance exceeds the projected cash
requirements, such excess shall be returned to the Owner within five (5) days. If at any
time there is not sufficient cash in the account with which to promptly pay the bills due
and owing, the Manager will request that the necessary additional funds be deposited in an
amount sufficient to create an
F-7
operating reserve pursuant to Section 4.4. Subject to its receipt of appropriate
documentation supporting such request, Owner will deposit the additional funds requested by
the Manager within five (5) days.
(d) The provisions of this Section 2.9 regarding reimbursements to Manager shall not
limit Managers rights under any other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.10 Use and Maintenance of the Project. Manager agrees that it will not knowingly permit the use
of the Project for any purpose which might void any policy of insurance held by Owner or which
might render any loss thereunder uncollectible, or which would be in violation of any government
restriction or any covenant or restriction of any lease of the Project. Manager shall use its good
faith efforts to secure substantial compliance by the tenants with the terms and conditions of
their respective leases. All costs of correcting or complying with, and all fines payable in
connection with, all orders or violations affecting the Project placed thereon by any governmental
authority or Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body shall be at the cost and expense of
Owner; provided that any such costs or fines caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
(by act or omission) of Manager shall be at the cost and expense of Manager.
Section
2.11 Annual Business Plan.
(a) On or before the day 45 days before the first day of the next fiscal year during
the term of this Agreement, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for Owners approval,
an Annual Business Plan (herein so called) for the Project for the promotion, leasing,
operations, repair and maintenance of the Project for the subsequent calendar year. The
Annual Business Plan shall include a detailed budget of projected income and expenses for
the Project for such calendar year (the Operating Budget) and a detailed budget of
projected capital improvements for the Project for such calendar year (the Capital
Budget).
(b) During the 45 day period prior to the first day of the next fiscal year, Manager
and Owner shall cooperate with each other and endeavor in good faith to agree on the
adoption of the Annual Business Plan in a timely manner. If Manager and Owner have not
agreed on an Annual Business Plan by the first day of a fiscal year, Manager shall cause the
Project to be operated in accordance with the Annual Business Plan most recently approved
except that no new capital improvement project shall be deemed approved or undertaken except
as otherwise approved by Owner. Owner acknowledges that the Operating Budget is intended
only to be a reasonable estimate of the Projects income and expenses for the ensuing
calendar year. Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or
representation whatsoever in connection with the Operating Budget.
(c) Manager may revise the Operating Budget from time to time, as necessary, to reflect
any unpredicted significant changes, variables or events or to include significant
additional, unanticipated items of revenue and expense. Any such revision, together with an
explanation regarding the necessity of such revision, shall be submitted
F-8
to Owner for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned.
(d) Manager agrees to use diligence and to employ all reasonable efforts to ensure that
the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Project shall not exceed the Operating
Budget which is a part of the approved Annual Business Plan either in total or in any one
accounting category. Any expense causing or likely to cause a variance of greater than ten
percent (10%) or $2,000, whichever is greater, in any one accounting category for the
current month cumulative year-to-date total shall be promptly explained to Owner by Manager
in the next monthly report submitted by Manager to Owner pursuant to Section 2.13(a).
During the calendar year Manager shall inform Owner of, and seek approval pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) for, any major increases or decreases in costs, expenses, and income that
were not reflected in the Annual Business Plan.
Section 2.12
Records, Reporting. Manager shall maintain at the regular business office of Manager or at
such other address as Manager shall advise Owner in writing, separate Project books and journals
and orderly files, containing rental records, insurance policies, leases, correspondence, receipts,
bills and vouchers, and all other documents and papers pertaining directly to the Project or the
operation thereof. All corporate statements, receipts, invoices, checks, leases, contracts,
worksheets, financial statements, books and records, and all other instruments and documents
relating to or arising from the operation or management of the Project shall be and remain the
property of Manager; provided, however, Owner shall have the right to inspect and to copy all such
matters, at Owners sole cost and expense, at all reasonable times during the term of this
Agreement, and for a reasonable time thereafter not to exceed three years. All on-site records,
including leases, rent rolls, and other related documents shall remain at the Project as property
of Owner.
Section 2.13

notices from any mortgagee claiming any default in any mortgage on the Project, and any
other notice from any mortgagee not of a routine nature, shall, if received by Manager, be
promptly delivered by Manager to Owners Representatives.
(b) Annual Report. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year of the

Section 2.14
Compliance with Legal Requirements. Owner acknowledges that Manager does not hold itself out
to be an expert or consultant with respect to, or represent that, the Project currently complies
with applicable ordinances, regulations, rules, statutes, or laws of governmental entities having
jurisdiction over the Project or the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters or other
similar bodies (collectively, Governmental Requirements). Manager shall take such action as may
be reasonably necessary to comply with any Governmental Requirements applicable to Manager,
including the collection and payment of all sales and other taxes (other than income taxes) which
may be assessed or charged by the State of Texas or any governmental entities in connection with
Managers Compensation. If Manager discovers the Project does not comply with any Governmental
Requirements, Manager shall promptly notify Owner and take such action as may be reasonably
necessary to bring the Project into compliance with such Governmental Requirements, subject to the
limitation contained in Section 2.5 of this Agreement regarding the making of alterations and
repairs. Manager, however, shall not take any such action as long as Owner is contesting or has
affirmed its intention to contest and promptly institute proceedings contesting any such order or
requirement. If, however, failure to comply promptly with any such order or requirement would or
might expose Manager to civil or criminal liability, Manager shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cause the same to be complied with and Owner promptly reimburse Manager for expenses
incurred thereby. Manager shall promptly, and in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours from
the time of receipt, notify Owners Representatives in writing of all such orders or notices. The
Manager also shall not be liable for any effort or judgment or for any mistake of fact of law, or
for anything which it may do or refrain from doing hereinafter, except in cases of willful
misconduct or gross negligence of Manager.

MANAGERS COMPENSATION, TERM
Section 3.1
Management Fee.
(a) Commencing on the date hereof, Owner shall pay Manager a monthly management fee
equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Collections (as defined below) for such month, payable

amounts actually collected as rents or other charges for use and occupancy of apartment
units and from users of garage spaces (if any), leases of other non-dwelling facilities in
the Project and concessionaires (if any) in respect of the Project, including furniture
rental, parking fees, forfeited security deposits applied to unpaid rent, application fees,

(b) Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that Owner is entering into a $15,004,000
Mortgage Loan (the Loan), evidenced by that certain Multifamily Note dated as of the
Effective Date (the Note), from Owner to Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., and secured by
that certain Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and
Fixture Filing dated as of the Effective Date (the Security Instrument). Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any indebtedness is outstanding under
the Loan Documents (as defined below): (i) Owner shall not pay and Manager shall not collect
any Management Fees in excess of three percent (3)% of Gross Collections (any amount in
excess thereof the Excess Management Fees), until Owner has paid all operating expenses
(including the management fee), monthly principal, interest, escrows, insurance reserves and
other required items or charges due under the Loan Documents if Manager has notice of or
acquires actual knowledge of an Event of Default under the Security Instrument (a Default
Notice); (ii) if payment of Excess Management Fees is included with payment of Management
Fees after a Default Notice is received by Manager, Manager will be entitled to retain only
that part of the payment which is not Excess Management Fees; and (iii) if Manager receives
Excess Management Fees after the Default Notice has been received by Manager, Manager agrees
that such Excess Management fees will be received and held in trust for Lender, to be
applied to amounts due under the Security Instrument. For purposes hereof, the term Loan
Documents has the meaning assigned to that term in the Security Instrument, and the term
Lender means the owner and holder from time to time of the Note and the other Loan
Documents.
Section
3.2 Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date, and shall continue thereafter
so long as UDR, Inc. or its affiliates have an ownership interest in, directly or indirectly, the
Project, unless otherwise terminated for cause as provided herein. If all or any substantial
portion of the Project is damaged or destroyed or in the event of condemnation of a substantial
portion of the Project, Owner may terminate this Agreement by thirty (30) days written notice to
Manager. Notwithstanding any other provision on this Agreement to the contrary, if a receiver,
liquidator or trustee of either party shall be appointed by court order, or if a petition to
reorganize shall be filed against either party under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
laws and such petition is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days, or if any assignment
for the benefit of creditors is made, then either party may forthwith terminate this Agreement,
without cause and without penalty, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. If
Owner or Manager shall materially breach its obligations hereunder, and such breach remains uncured
for a period of ten (10) days after written notification of such breach, the party not in breach
hereunder may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other. In addition, Fannie
Mae may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to Manager if UDR TX Fund LLC is
removed as Managing Member of UDR Texas Ventures LLC pursuant to Sections 11.2 and 11.4 of that
certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of UDR Texas Ventures LLC dated as of ___, 2007
between Fannie Mae and UDR TX Fund LLC (the LLC Agreement). Upon any termination of this
Agreement, Manager shall be entitled to receive all compensation and reimbursements, if any, due to
Manager through the date of termination. Such amounts will be due Manager no later than thirty
(30) days from the date of such termination. Within thirty (30) days after any such termination,
Manager shall deliver to Owners Representatives, the report required by Section 2.13(a) for any
period not covered by
F-11
such a report at time of termination, and within sixty (60) days after any such termination,
Manager shall deliver to Owners Representatives, as required by Section 2.13(b), the statement of
cash flow for the fiscal year or portion thereof ending on the date of termination.

the indemnified party of its good faith belief that such person is entitled to indemnification by
the Company, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such
amount if a court of competent jurisdiction ultimately determines that the indemnified party is not
entitled to indemnification.

and such other persons or entities as the Member shall determine, against any liability that may be
asserted against, or expenses that may be incurred by, any such person or entity in connection with
the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the
power to indemnify such person or entity against such liability under the provisions of this
Agreement.

of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business

any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of a character
that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and the Member shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, shareholder, fiduciary or
otherwise) or to recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity.

Managing Member
), and Fannie Mae are entering into that certain Limited Liability Company
Agreement of UDR Texas Ventures LLC of even date herewith (the
Operating Agreement
),
whereby Fannie Mae and Managing Member have agreed to form a Delaware limited liability
company under the name of UDR Texas Ventures LLC (the
Company
) subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Operating Agreement.
B. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, (a) the Company will own an interest in
Subsidiaries (as defined in the Operating Agreement) which will, own, operate, manage and
lease certain Properties subject to Mortgage Loans, and (b) Fannie Mae will make certain
capital contributions to the Company as more particularly set forth in the Operating
Agreement.
C. In connection with the transactions contemplated in the Operating Agreement,
Guarantor shall cause or has caused its affiliates to sell certain Properties to
Subsidiaries pursuant to purchase and sale agreements approved by the Members and to
contribute the Property known as Lincoln at Towne Square II to UDR Lincoln at Town Square II
LLC pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2007 between
Lincoln TC II, L.P. and UDR Lincoln at Towne Square II LLC (the Contribution Agreement).
D. To induce Fannie Mae to, among other things, execute the Operating Agreement,
acquire a membership interest in the Company, and make Fannie Maes capital contributions,
all as provided in the Operating Agreement, Guarantor is willing and desires to execute and
deliver this Guaranty for the benefit of Fannie Mae and the Company.
E. As a condition to entering into or approving, as the case may be, the agreements,
contracts and transactions described above, and pursuant to the Operating Agreement, Fannie
Mae requires that Guarantor enter into this Guaranty.
I-1
F. Guarantor has a substantial direct or indirect economic and ownership interest in
Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P., and the above referenced sellers of Properties, and
will derive substantial benefit from Fannie Mae entering into or approving, as the case may
be, the agreements, contracts and transactions described above.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Fannie Mae entering into the Operating Agreement, the
anticipated capital contribution of Fannie Mae, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1.
Definitions
. All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty which are
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Operating Agreement.
2.
Guaranteed Obligations
. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to Fannie Mae and the Company (i) the full and complete
payment of all of Managing Members financial obligations including without
limitation, obligations to make Capital Contributions, to satisfy Managing Members
indemnity obligations
,
and to pay damages arising from the Managing Members
breach of its obligations under the Operating Agreement (including but not limited
to a Managing Member Default) all as set forth in the Operating
Agreement
and (ii) the full and complete payment of (a) all of the respective sellers
indemnification obligations under Section 5.01(c) of the respective purchase and
sales agreements and, (b) the indemnification obligations of Lincoln TC II, L.P.
under Section 5.01(c) of the Contribution Agreement. The obligations of Guarantor
set forth in this Section 2 shall hereinafter be collectively referred to herein as
the
Guaranteed Obligations
.
3.
Not Capital Contributions
. Any amounts funded by Guarantor
hereunder are not capital contributions of Managing Member or any other Person to
the Company but represent the personal obligations of Guarantor in its individual
capacity without regard to the Operating Agreement. Guarantor acknowledges that it
will not be entitled to reimbursement or distribution from the Company or Fannie Mae
on account of any sums paid by it pursuant to this Guaranty, and that Guarantor
shall not have any right of subrogation by reason of such payments until all
Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full. Fannie Mae may (but
shall not be obligated to) direct Guarantor, however, to make payments under this
Guaranty directly to the Company.
4.
Financial Statements
. Within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the end of each fiscal year, Guarantor shall deliver to Fannie Mae (a)
copies of such updated audited financial statements and unaudited balance sheets,
profit and loss statements, cash flows, other financial reports and other financial
information of Guarantor as previously delivered to Fannie Mae and (b) a statement
of material change, if any, in Guarantors net worth, certified by such Guarantor as
being true, correct and complete, together with a certified statement
I-2
that there ahs been no material adverse change in the financial condition of
such Guarantor since the date of the previous financial statements delivered to
Fannie Mae. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that all financial
statements heretofore delivered to Fannie Mae are, and hereafter to be delivered to
Fannie Mae will be, true, complete and correct in all material respects and fair
representations of the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the dates thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Guarantor shall file all reports required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid
extension of such time of filing and has filed any such reports prior to the
expiration of any such extension, such reports include the financial statements of
Guarantor, and as of the effective date of such filings such financial statements
complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the published rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing, Guarantor shall not be
required to submit financial statements and or balance sheets or other financial
information directly to Fannie Mae.
5.
No Discharge of Obligations
. Except in the event of a written
amendment to this Guaranty signed by the Guarantor, Fannie Mae and the Company, if
applicable, if any, and then except only to the extent expressly provided therein,
none of Guarantors obligations and no right against Guarantor shall be in any way
discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by:
a. The modification, amendment or waiver, by change order, directive or otherwise, or any
extension of time for performance of, or other modification in or of any Rehabilitation Plan,
Business Plan, the Operating Agreement, and any other agreement relating to the acquisition,
financing, rehabilitation or operation of any Property or the Basic Documents.
b. The release or waiver of or delay in the enforcement of any right or remedy by or against
Fannie Mae, Managing Member, the Company, the Guarantor
,
any Subsidiary, Lincoln TC II,
L.P., or any seller of any of the Properties; whether pursuant to or involving the Operating
Agreement or any other agreement relating to the acquisition, contribution, financing,
rehabilitation or operation of any Property, or the compromise or settlement by any of the above
parties of any amount or matter in dispute relating to any of the foregoing agreements.
c. The exercise by Fannie Mae, Managing Member, the Company, any guarantor, mortgage lender or
any other party of any of their respective rights and remedies under any Mortgage Loan Documents,
any Operating Agreement, any Subsidiarys operating agreement, any other agreement relating to the
acquisition, contribution, financing, rehabilitation or operation of any Property or the Basic
Documents.
d. The approval, disapproval, inspection, review or failure to inspect or review by Fannie Mae
of the progress, status, or quality of construction or any costs, expenses, financing, contracts,
or other matters relating thereto, in connection with the rehabilitation of any Property or
otherwise.
I-3
e. The release or discharge of Fannie Mae, the Company, Managing Member, or the Guarantor from
any obligation in any receivership, bankruptcy, winding-up or other creditor proceeding.
It is expressly agreed by Guarantor that none of the forgoing events shall release or
discharge the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, whether or not such event may otherwise be deemed
a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Guarantor agrees that neither Fannie Mae
nor any other party shall have any duty to disclose to Guarantor any information they receive
regarding the financial status of Managing Member, the Company or any contractor, subcontractor,
materialmen involved in the rehabilitation of the Property, or any information relating to any
Property, whether such information indicates that the risk or obligations of Guarantor have or may
increase. Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed of such matters.
No change in the composition of Fannie Mae, Managing Member, the Company, any Subsidiary or
any other party shall in any way affect, impair or diminish the liability of Guarantor hereunder,
and Fannie Mae shall have no obligation to inquire into the powers of any of them to perform the
Guaranteed Obligations.
This Guaranty is being delivered free of any conditions and no representations have been made
to Guarantor affecting or limiting the liability of Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of
Guarantor hereunder are independent of any obligations which such Guarantor may have to Fannie Mae,
directly or indirectly, under the Operating Agreement or any other obligation whatsoever, if any.
6.
Nature of Guaranty
. This Guaranty is irrevocable and continuing in
nature and relates to any Guaranteed Obligations now existing or hereafter arising.
This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and is not merely a
guaranty of collection. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is independent of the
obligations of Managing Member, or the Company and a separate action or separate
actions may be brought or prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not any action is
brought or prosecuted against Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of
any of the Properties or whether Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller
of any of the Properties, or the Company is joined in any such action or actions.
The liability of Guarantor hereunder is independent of, and not in consideration of
or contingent upon the liability of any other person under any similar instrument
and the release of, or cancellation by, any signer of a similar instrument shall not
act to release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor unless Guarantor is
independently released in writing. This Guaranty shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance (and not
merely of collection) without regard to:
a. the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Property Agreements, any
Construction Management Agreement, any Property Management Agreement, any Subsidiarys agreement,
any of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or any other guaranty of such indebtedness or the
Guaranteed Obligations;
I-4
b. any defense (other than payment), setoff or counterclaim that may at any time be available
to Managing Member, the Company or any other guarantor against, and any right of setoff at any time
held by, Fannie Mae; or
c. any other circumstances whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Guarantor or
any other guarantor), whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Managing Member, the Company or any
other guarantor, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
7.
Relationship to Other Agreements; Fannie Mae Option
. Nothing herein
shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any
other document, instrument or agreement executed by Guarantor in connection with the
Guaranteed Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in
addition thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Managing Member Default under the
Operating Agreement, in addition to all of Fannie Maes other rights hereunder and
under the Operating Agreement, Fannie Mae will have the option, to be exercised in
its sole discretion, to either require Guarantor to complete the rehabilitation
pursuant to any Rehabilitation Plan or to complete the rehabilitation itself or to
cause the rehabilitation to be completed by a third party, substantially in
accordance with the Rehabilitation Plan or otherwise in accordance with the
Operating Agreement. If Fannie Mae elects to complete the rehabilitation itself or
to cause a third party to complete the rehabilitation, Guarantor shall pay to Fannie
Mae, immediately upon demand therefor, an amount equal to the difference between the
actual costs reasonably incurred by Fannie Mae in completing the rehabilitation as
referenced above, minus the sum of Project Costs reflected in any Rehabilitation
Budget and directly related to the rehabilitation. In no event will Guarantors
liability hereunder be reduced as a result of any evidence that the cost to perform
the Guaranteed Obligations exceeds the enhancement in value to the property
resulting from performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
8.
Subordination of Indebtedness
. Guarantor agrees that:
a. Any rights of Guarantor, whether now existing or later arising, to receive payment on
account of any indebtedness (including interest) owed to Guarantor by Managing Member, any
Subsidiary, or the Company, shall at all times be subordinate as to lien and time of payment and in
all other respects to the full and prior indefeasible performance of all obligations owed to Fannie
Mae under the Operating Agreement. Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment
of any sums hereby subordinated until all such obligations have been paid and performed in full.
b. Upon the occurrence of a default of the Guaranteed Obligations or a default by Guarantor in
the performance of any other obligations owed to Fannie Mae under the terms hereof, if Fannie Mae
so requests, any such obligation of Managing Member, any Subsidiary or the Company now or hereafter
owed to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for Fannie
Mae on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without
I-5
reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of Guarantor under the other provisions of
this Guaranty.
c. Upon the occurrence of a default of the Guaranteed Obligations or a default by Guarantor of
any other obligations owed to Fannie Mae under the terms hereof, should Guarantor fail to collect
or enforce any such indebtedness of Managing Member, any Subsidiary or the Company now or hereafter
owed to Guarantor and pay the proceeds thereof to Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae, as Guarantors
attorney-in-fact, may do such acts and sign such documents in Guarantors name as Fannie Mae
considers necessary or desirable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment.
9.
Statute of Limitations and Other Laws
. Until the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid and performed in full (except to the
extent the Guaranteed Obligations are limited as provided in Section 11.2 of the
Operating Agreement
)
, all of the rights, privileges, powers and remedies
granted to Fannie Mae hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by
Fannie Mae at any time and from time to time, irrespective of the fact that any of
the Guaranteed Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.
Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and
any and all laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation
and appraisal upon foreclosure, and any and all rights and benefits, if any, arising
under the laws of the State of Delaware.
10.
Rights Upon Default
. Upon the occurrence of any default in the
performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or default by Guarantor of any other
obligations owed to Fannie Mae under the terms hereof, Fannie Mae may enforce this
Guaranty independently of any other remedy or security Fannie Mae at any time may
have or hold in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be
necessary for Fannie Mae to marshal assets in favor of Managing Member, Subsidiary
or Guarantor or any other person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any
security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. Fannie Mae may file
a separate action or actions against Guarantor, whether action is brought or
prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other person, or whether any
other person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor agrees that Fannie
Mae and Managing Member
,
Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of a Property
may deal with each other in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise,
or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between them, in any
manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of
this Guaranty. Fannie Maes rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and
the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at
any time paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations which thereafter shall be
required to be restored or returned by Fannie Mae upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of Managing Member, any Subsidiary, Guarantor, Lincoln TC II, L.P.,
or any seller of a Property, or for any other reason, all as though such amount had
not been paid. The rights of Guaranteed Party created or granted herein and the
I-6
enforceability of this Guaranty at all times shall remain effective to
guarantee the full amount of all of the Guaranteed Obligations even though the
Guaranteed Obligations, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty
therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as
against Managing Member
,
a Subsidiary, Lincoln TC II, L.P. or any seller of
a Property. Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter
arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of Managing
Member, a Subsidiary, the Company, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of a
Property, or any other guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) the
unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Guaranteed
Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of
priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the cessation for any
cause whatsoever of the liability, in whole or in part, of Managing Member, a
Subsidiary, the Company, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of a Property, or any
other Guarantor (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all
Guaranteed Obligations), (d) any failure of Fannie Mae to marshal assets in favor of
Managing Member, the Company or any other guarantor, or any other person, (e) any
failure of Guaranteed Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of any
collateral (now or hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations) to Managing Member
or any other guarantor, or any other person or any defect in any notice that may be
given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (f) any failure of
Guaranteed Party to comply with applicable law in connection with the sale or other
disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligation,
including any failure of Guaranteed Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale
or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed
Obligation, (g) any act or omission of Fannie Mae, or others, that directly or
indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Managing Member, Lincoln
TC II, L.P., or any seller of a Property, or any other guarantor, or the Guaranteed
Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise
(other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Guaranteed
Obligations), (h) any applicable law which provides that the obligation of a surety
or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of the principal or which reduces a suretys or guarantors obligation in
proportion to the principal obligation, including, without limitation, all rights
and benefits under the laws of the District of Columbia purporting to reduce a
guarantors obligation in proportion to the obligation of the principal, (i) any
failure of Guaranteed Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other
proceeding with respect to any person, (j) the election by Guaranteed Party in any
bankruptcy proceeding of any person, of the application or non-application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or
stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy
proceeding of any person, (n) the avoidance of any lien in favor of Guaranteed Party
for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against
any person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or
any of the
I-7
Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such
proceedings, (p) all rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection
afforded to the principal with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any other
guarantors obligations under its guaranty, in either case, pursuant to the
antideficiency laws or other laws of the District of Columbia or other states
limiting or discharging the principals obligations. Guarantor expressly waives all
setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance,
notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this
Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurring of new, or additional Guaranteed
Obligations. Guarantor further waives the effect of any law which provides that a
continuing guaranty may be revoked at any time by the guarantor in respect to future
transactions and, by virtue of this waiver, Guarantor acknowledges that, except to
the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are limited as provided in
Section
11.2
of the Operating Agreement, Guarantor does not have any right to revoke
this Guaranty as to future advances or additional loans under the Operating
Agreement and, thus, Guarantor may essentially have no control over its ultimate
responsibility for Managing Members obligations guaranteed hereunder. Finally,
Guarantor agrees that all advances and Capital Contributions under the Operating
Agreement, if any, are to be construed as components of but a single transaction.
11.
Waivers and Consents
. Guarantor acknowledges that the Guaranteed
Obligations involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than Guarantor
and, in full recognition of that fact, Guarantor consents and agrees that Guaranteed
Party may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without
affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof but subject to the
terms and provisions of the Operating Agreement: (a) supplement, modify, amend,
extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease
of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter
into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof, or any additional security or guaranties, or any
condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or
thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in
exchange for or relative to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(d) accept partial payments on, or performance of, the Guaranteed Obligations and
apply any and all payments or recoveries from Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P.,
or any seller of a Property, or any guarantor to such of the Guaranteed Obligations
as Fannie Mae may elect in its sole discretion; (e) receive and hold additional
security or guaranties for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (f)
release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate,
exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply
any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Fannie Mae in its
I-8
sole and absolute discretion may determine; (g) release any other Person from
any personal liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any party
thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Fannie Mae, as the case may
be, or by operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any
Guaranteed Obligations and any security or guaranty in any manner, consent to the
transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale (other than by reason of
the full payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations); (i) consent to the
merger, change of any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence
of Managing Member, the Company and correspondingly restructure the Guaranteed
Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not
affect the liability of Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the
enforceability thereof with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; and/or extend other credit to Managing Member, and may take and hold
security for the credit so extended, all without affecting Guarantors liability
under this Guaranty; (j) otherwise deal with Managing Member, the Company, Lincoln
TC II, L.P., or any seller of any Property, or any other guarantor as Fannie Mae may
elect in its sole discretion. Guarantor expressly agrees that until the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid and performed in full and each and every term, covenant and
condition of this Guaranty is fully performed, Guarantor shall not be released by or
because of:
(i) Any act or event which might otherwise discharge, reduce, limit or modify Guarantors
obligations under this Guaranty;
(ii) Any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay, or other act or omission of
Guaranteed Party, or Guaranteed Partys failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against the
Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of any Property, any other guarantor, or any
security;
(iii) Any action, omission or circumstance which might increase the likelihood that Guarantor
may be called upon to perform under this Guaranty or which might affect the rights or remedies of
Guarantor as against Managing Member, Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of any Property; or
(iv) Any dealings occurring at any time between the Managing Member, any Subsidiary, the
Company, or Lincoln TC II, L.P., or any seller of any Property, on the one hand, and Fannie Mae, on
the other hand, whether relating to Property Agreements, Fannie Maes Capital Contributions to the
Company or otherwise.
Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Guaranteed
Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to
security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such Guarantors rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against Managing Member, the Company, any Subsidiary, any other guarantor or any
other Person (as the case may be), and even though that election of remedies by Guaranteed Party
has destroyed such Guarantors rights of contribution against another guarantor of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
I-9
No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of
the covenants and waivers set forth in Sections 10 and 11.
Guarantor, to the extent not prohibited by law, waives all rights, defenses and claims arising
out of or based in whole or in part on the exercise of Guaranteed Partys rights under Section 11.2
of the Operating Agreement.
Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability under this
Guaranty based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, agreements, waivers or matters. It is the
purpose and intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of Guarantor under it shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
12.
Completion by Fannie Mae or the Company
. Guarantor agrees that
upon the occurrence of a default of the Guaranteed Obligations or a default by
Guarantor in the performance of any other obligations owed to Fannie Mae under the
terms hereof that Fannie Mae may provide written notice of such default to Guarantor
and if such default has not been cured, in the case of a default capable of being
cured with the payment of money, within five (5) days after written notice, and, in
the case of a default not capable of being cured with money, then within thirty (30)
days after such written notice, then Guaranteed Party shall have the right, but not
the obligation, either before, after or in concurrence with any such actions taken
by any lender, if applicable, to take any or all of the following actions:
a. Complete, or cause of completion of, the rehabilitation of the Property substantially in
accordance with any Rehabilitation Plan;
b. Engage, or cause to be engaged, builders, contractors, engineers, architects and others for
the purpose of furnishing labor, materials and equipment in connection with any rehabilitation of
the Property substantially in accordance with any Rehabilitation Plan;
c. Pay, compromise or settle, or cause the payment, compromise, or settlement of, all bills or
claims incurred in connection with any rehabilitation of the Property substantially in accordance
with any Rehabilitation Plan or otherwise in accordance with the Operating Agreement;
d. Take or refrain from taking such other action to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty as
it may from time to time determine in its sole discretion, including without limitation initiating
one or more actions for damages.
Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand therefor, reimburse the Guaranteed Party for any and
all expenditures incurred by Guaranteed Party under this Section 12.
13.
Remedies
. In addition to all other remedies provided at law or in
equity and such other remedies as may be provided herein, Guaranteed Party may
enforce Guarantors obligations hereunder with regard to the payment of any money by
charging the same against any distributions
,
fees, or other amounts
I-10
which Managing Member would otherwise be entitled to receive under the
Operating Agreement or any Subsidiarys operating agreement, if any, whether such
amounts are accrued or unearned. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH GUARANTOR HAS
BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AND TO REVIEW IT WITH
AN ATTORNEY OF GUARANTORS CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING IT. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING
READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING AND EFFECT OF THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE SIGNING IT.
14.

. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may
be modified, amended, waived, terminated or changed orally, but only by an agreement
in writing signed by Fannie Mae and the Guarantor to be bound by such agreement.
15.
Successors and Assigns
. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns of the parties hereto; this Agreement shall only benefit Guaranteed
Party and their respective successors and assigns permitted in the Operating
Agreement.
16.
Irrevocable Survival
. This Guaranty shall be irrevocable by the
Guarantor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been completely and indefeasibly
paid and all obligations and undertakings of undersigned hereunder have been
completely performed and Fannie Mae is no longer a member in the Company.
17.
Unenforceability
. If any term or provision of this Guaranty shall
be determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, this Guaranty and all other
terms and provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
18.
Entire Agreement
. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior discussions,
negotiations, commitments, representations, agreements and understandings between
the parties. As used herein, the singular includes the plural, and the masculine
includes the feminine and neuter and vice versa, if the context so requires.
19.

. GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR

ordinances, building codes or rules and regulations, and failed to notify Owner that the Contract
Documents did not so comply or for changes required to address defective workmanship or material.
If the Cost of the Work exceeds the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Contract Documents, then Manager shall bear the amount of excess.

Agreement and

time for completion resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined before the performance
of any Work necessitated by such change and incorporated in the Change Order. Any change orders,
additional work and purchase orders for additional materials or equipment submitted to contractors
or suppliers by Manager will not constitute changes in the Work contemplated by this
