RECITALS

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to permit the assumption of the Loan by Borrower, Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenants, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall be fully liable for and Lender shall have full recourse against Guarantor for all amounts of the Indebtedness in the event there shall occur an event of default under Section 2.2.26 of the Mortgage or as a result of a voluntary encumbrance against the Property prohibited under Section 2.2.14 of the Mortgage. For purposes hereof, residential leases for apartment units of the Property entered into in the ordinary course of business shall not constitute encumbrances that would trigger full recourse to the Guarantor hereunder.

Subject to Section 1 above, this is an absolute, unconditional, primary, and continuing obligation and will remain in full force and effect until the first to occur of the following: (i) the Loan has been indefeasibly paid in full, and Lender has terminated this Guaranty; (ii) 30 days after the date on which written notice of revocation is actually received by Lender; or (iii) the date on which written notice of the death of Guarantor is actually received by Lender. No revocation (whether upon the death of Guarantor or otherwise) will affect: (i) the then existing liabilities of the revoking Guarantor under this Guaranty; (ii) obligations under the Loan created, contracted, assumed, acquired or incurred prior to the effective date of such revocation; (iii) obligations under the Loan created, contracted, assumed, acquired or incurred after the effective date of such revocation pursuant to any agreement entered into or commitment obtained prior to the effective date of such revocation; (iv) any obligations of Borrower then or thereafter arising under the Loan Documents as then in effect; (v) renewals, extensions, consolidations and refinancings of any of the foregoing; (vi) principal, interest, charges, fees, costs or expenses of any kind relating to any of the foregoing then existing or thereafter arising, or (vii) any liabilities of any Guarantor other than the particular Guarantor that issues such notice of revocation (or, in the event of the death of a Guarantor, is the subject of such death notice).

Guarantor desires that Lender grant Borrower the credit described in the Loan Documents, and Guarantor deems it to be in the best business interests of Guarantor that Borrower obtain such credit from Lender and understands that Lender is willing to grant such credit only on certain terms and conditions, including, the condition that Guarantor execute this Guaranty.

Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of demand or protest, and any defense based upon a failure of Lender to comply with the notice requirements of the applicable version of Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-611, or any predecessor or successor section thereto, are hereby waived, except for notices specifically provided for in this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents. Lender at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder, may in its sole discretion: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or change or extend the time of payment or performance of, or other terms relating to the Loan; (ii) renew, increase, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to the Loan, any other guarantees (other than this Guaranty) or other liabilities, or any collateral for the Loan or guarantees or other liabilities (other than those created by this Guaranty); (iii) apply any and all payments from any source whatsoever including any proceeds of any collateral, to any obligations of Borrower under the Loan in any order, manner and amount; (iv) deal or refrain from dealing with any person or entity, in its sole discretion, with respect to any obligations under the Loan in such manner as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and/or; (v) accept, sell, substitute, exchange, compromise, release, surrender, offset, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order the Loan, any guarantee (other than this Guaranty) or other liability (other than those created by this Guaranty) for the Loan, or any collateral for the Loan or for any guarantee or other liability relating to the Loan. Irrespective of the taking of or refraining from taking any of the foregoing actions, the obligations of Guarantor will remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty and will not be affected, impaired, discharged or released in any manner, except pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty. Lender in its sole discretion may determine the reasonableness of the period which may elapse prior to the making of demand for any payment upon Borrower and it need not pursue any of its remedies against Borrower, any other guarantor or other person, or any collateral before having recourse against any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(i)         Financial Covenants . Guarantor shall maintain a “Net Worth” of at least $30,000,000.00. For purposes hereof, “Net Worth” shall mean, as of any date, Guarantor’s total assets less total liabilities as determined in accordance with a tax basis method of accounting

(ii)         Financial Statements . Furnish the Lender the Guarantor’s Financial Statements (as defined herein) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year. Such Financial Statements will be prepared in substantially the same form as Guarantor’s Financial Statements provided to Lender in connection with the Assumption or such other form acceptable to Lender and shall be certified by a principal of Guarantor. “Financial Statements” means the Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows for the year, together with year-to-date figures and comparative figures for the corresponding period of the prior year.

All such communications, if personally delivered, will be conclusively deemed to have been received by a party hereto and to be effective when so delivered, or if sent by telex, facsimile or telegraphic means, on the day on which transmitted, or if sent by overnight courier service, on the day after deposit thereof with such service.

DUTIES AND RIGHTS OF MANAGER

2.1            Appointment of Manager . Owner hereby appoints Manager as the designated property manager of the Project, and Manager agrees, for and in consideration of the compensation provided in this Agreement, that during the Term of this Agreement Manager will supervise and direct the management and operation of the Project. Manager shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to acts or omissions of Owner, previous owners of the Project, any previous property manager or any other agent of Owner. Manager’s services are provided to Owner on a non-exclusive basis with respect to other multifamily residential projects and Manager shall serve Owner in the management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, conforming to the professional standards of multi-family apartment complexes of similar size, age and construction in the surrounding area. Everything performed by Manager under this Agreement shall be done as Owner’s agent, and Manager shall have the right to execute and deliver documents on behalf of Owner and to otherwise bind Owner as provided in this Agreement. Manager shall act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the proper protection and accounting for Owner’s assets associated with the Property, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Property in a manner consistent with the requirements imposed by Owner’s lender of which Manager has received actual notice. Manager may install one or more signs on or about the Project stating that the Project is under management of Manager, and Manager may use in a commercially reasonable manner, subject to Owner’s approval, Manager's name and logo in any display advertising that may be done on behalf of the Project. Owner shall provide adequate office space at the Project, at no cost to Manager, for Manager’s exclusive use in carrying out its duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2           Rental Activities . Manager shall render the following services and perform the following duties for Owner:

(a)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all monthly rentals due from tenants and rental payments due from users or lessees of other non-dwelling facilities in the Project, if any, in Owner’s name and at Owner's expense institute legal action to evict tenants delinquent in payment of monthly rental or other charges as more particularly described in Section 2.9 below; provided, however, that in no event shall Manager be liable to Owner for any uncollected rents;

(b)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to advertise at Owner's expense the availability of Project units for rental and, subject to limitations imposed by local laws or restrictive covenants applicable to the Project, display "for rent" or other similar signs upon the Project; and

(c)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to do the following:

(i)          Lease apartment units in accordance with certain leasing guidelines which may be outlined in the Budget or otherwise determined by Owner and communicated to Manager in writing. Said guidelines shall include the following parameters: Without the prior written consent of Owner, Manager shall not lease space in the Project for (a) a term of less than 6 months or longer than 2 years; (b) for any non-residential purpose; or (c) for any activity that would violate any requirement imposed by Owner or Owner’s lender, as long as the Owner’s lender’s requirements have been communicated to Manager.

(ii)         Secure tenants for the Project based on tenant selection criteria recommended by Manager and approved by Owner, and negotiate leases with such tenants in accordance with the leasing guidelines. Manager shall prepare all prospective leases on a standard form of lease approved by Owner. Owner specifically authorizes Manager to execute leases in Owner's name and on Owner's behalf, consistent with the standards established by Owner, and any lease so executed will be binding on Owner to the same extent as if executed by Owner. Manager recommends Owner use the then current National Apartment Association lease form; however, in no event shall Manager be responsible for ensuring that the terms of the form lease agreement(s) approved by Owner for the Project or the application or enforcement of those lease agreements in accordance with their terms (including but not limited to actions taken by Manager under Section 2.9 below consistent with the terms of the lease agreements) complies with all applicable laws. Absent a finding of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Manager or the Project Employees, Owner shall be responsible for any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, demands, judgments, settlements and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) relating to the lease agreements or other housing statutes, whether such actions are brought against Owner or Manager.

(iii)        Supervise all dealings with tenants of the Project on behalf of Owner and receive and consider service requests; receive and attempt to resolve any complaints, disputes or disagreements among tenants; monitor the activities of tenants to ensure their compliance with terms and conditions of their respective leases and notify the respective tenants and Owner of any non-compliance with such leases; and supervise the moving in and out of all tenants of the Project.

2.3          Budget .

(a)          Manager shall submit a proposed Budget for a Fiscal Year to Owner for Owner's review no later than September 15 ^th prior to the beginning of such Fiscal Year; provided that the proposed Budget for the first Fiscal Year shall cover the portion of such Fiscal Year beginning on the Commencement Date and shall be delivered not later than the first day of such period. In the event Owner disapproves a proposed Budget, in whole or in part, Owner and Manager shall jointly prepare the Budget as soon as may be reasonably practicable. Until a complete new Budget is approved, Manager shall operate on the Budget for the prior Fiscal Year adjusted to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers for the area in which the Project is located. It is hereby expressly acknowledged by the parties that the Budgets are intended as projections only, and Manager shall have no responsibility for any shortfall or other loss because the Project operations do not achieve the results projected in any Budget.

(b)          The Budget shall constitute a major control under which Manager shall operate the Project, and there shall be no substantial variances therefrom except as permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or approved by Owner in writing. Consequently, except as permitted by other provisions of this Agreement, no expenses may be incurred or commitments made by Manager in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Project which exceed the amounts allocated to the corresponding summary accounts in the Budget for the period in question by more than ten percent (10%) or $2,000, whichever is less, without the prior consent of Owner; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to the Base Management Fee (which will be determined as provided in this Agreement), or to expenses for taxes, insurance, utilities or other non-controllable expenses, or to expenditures required due to emergencies that threaten life, injury or property or could result in civil or criminal liability for Owner and/or Manager; and provided that Manager may pay expenses in excess of Budget allowances if the expenses represent reallocation among periods of amounts otherwise allowed by this provision. Owner’s agreement to pay any fee or cost as evidenced by the inclusion of any item in an approved Budget shall have the same binding effect as if such agreement to pay was expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(c)          In the event there shall be a variance in any summary accounts between the results of operations for any month and the estimated results of operations for such month (as set forth in the corresponding summary account contained in the Budget) in excess of ten percent (10%) or $2,000, whichever is less, Manager shall furnish to Owner, within twenty (20) days after the last day of such month, a written explanation as to why the variance occurred. If substantial variances have occurred or are anticipated by Manager during the remainder of any Fiscal Year, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner, for review and approval by Owner, a revised forecast covering the remainder of the Fiscal Year with an explanation for the revision.

2.4           Manager and Other Employees .

(a)          Manager shall hire, train, instruct, pay, promote, supervise and discharge the work of the Project Employees in accordance with Manager’s policies and procedures. Prior to hiring any individual, Manager shall conduct, at Owner’s expense, a background check on such individual, including credit, criminal history and drug screening. The Project Employees shall be employees of Manager or an affiliate of Manager and not of Owner. Manager shall be solely responsible for legal compliance concerning the foregoing activities, and except in circumstances where Manager acts or fails to act at Owner’s express direction, Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner (and defend Owner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner), against any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, demands, judgments, settlements and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection with violations of employment-related laws by Manager with respect to any Project Employee. Certain obligations of Owner with respect to Project Employees are more fully described in Exhibit “A” .

(b)          Since a Project Employee may need to reside at the Project and be available full-time in order to properly perform the duties of his/her employment, it is further understood and agreed that each Project Employee (including his/her spouse and dependents), in addition to his/her salary and fringe benefits, may receive the normal maintenance customarily provided employees of an apartment project, including apartment rental at an agreed upon discount and use of all Project facilities. Project Employees may occupy apartment units on a month-to-month basis with an executed tenant lease, regardless of whether they are allowed a rental discount, provided that any such discount shall be included in the Budget or otherwise approved by Owner.

(c)          Manager shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and submit all forms, reports and returns required by all federal, state or local laws in connection with unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, disability benefits, social security and other similar taxes now in effect or hereafter imposed with respect to Project Employees.

The term "fringe benefits", as used herein, shall include, but not be limited to, the employer's contribution of F.I.C.A. and 401(k) contributions, unemployment compensation and other employment taxes, workers’ compensation, group life, accident and health/vision/dental insurance premiums, allowance for vacation and sick time, disability and other similar benefits, applicable severance payments, any vacation pay-out which may be due at the end of employment, costs for training Manager's on-site employees as described on Exhibit “A” , and reasonable costs incurred by Manager to provide suitable corporate apparel for its on-site employees. Any performance bonuses paid to any Project Employee in excess of budgeted amounts must be prior approved by Owner. The payroll expenses charged to Owner will include accrued vacation hours earned by each Project Employee during each payroll period; however, Owner shall not be financially responsible for vacation accrued prior to a Project Employee’s employment at the Project. Owner shall not directly compensate any Project Employee without the prior consent of Manager. Owner shall also pay to Manager a payroll processing fee as described in Exhibit “A” .

Manager shall have the right to establish and verify certain compliance criteria for any third party concessionaires, licensees and suppliers, including but not limited to licensing, credit, insurance, criminal history, and inclusion on any government watch-lists. Owner shall indemnify and hold Manager harmless from any and all damages that arise from the use of any vendor or supplier at the Project (except to the extent caused by Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). Manager shall, where necessary, execute contracts for such services and supplies, which contracts shall be in Owner's name, and Owner hereby authorizes Manager to enter into such contracts in the name of and on behalf of Owner, and to bind Owner to such contracts. Unless provided for in the Budget and agreed to by Owner, Manager shall not execute any such contract on behalf of Owner without Owner's approval unless the contract may be terminated without cause and without penalty on notice of thirty (30) days or less. Owner recognizes that the Project may be operated in conjunction with other projects in an effort to provide for more efficient and less expensive methods of operation, and Owner agrees that costs for such shared activities may be allocated or shared between the Project and such other projects on a per unit basis. Manager shall provide email accounts for the Project at Owner’s expense as described in Exhibit “A” .

2.6          Alterations, Repairs and Maintenance .

(a)          Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Owner's expense, to maintain the Project in good repair and condition. Manager shall, in Owner's name and at Owner's expense, hire and discharge independent contractors for the repair and maintenance of the Project to the extent involvement of outside parties is necessary for completion of such work. Expenditures for maintenance and repair are subject to the Budget-related limitations of this Agreement, except in the case of emergency repairs necessary to prevent injury to residents or others on or about the Project or damage to the Project or property of others located on or about the Project, in which case expenditures may be made by Manager, at Owner’s expense, without prior approval up to amounts not to exceed $10,000.00 in the aggregate, but thereafter, only with Owner's prior written consent, but Owner shall in any case be notified as soon as practicable.

(b)          Manager shall implement capital replacements, substitutions and additions for the Project that are provided for in the Capital Budget. Owner shall be responsible for all costs of such capital replacements, substitutions and additions for the Project and Owner shall pay all such costs directly and reimburse Manager for any such costs incurred by Manager; provided, however, Manager shall not exceed the amount allowed by the Capital Budget for such capital replacement, substitution and addition without obtaining Owner's prior written consent. Subject to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, if Owner fails to reimburse Manager for all costs incurred by Manager in connection with such capital replacements, substitutions and additions for the Project, then Manager will be excused from performance of its responsibilities under this Section 2.6(b ); provided, however, that to the extent such costs are payable through the submission of a draw request, Manager shall perform on behalf of Owner, as provided in Section 5.2(e) . Owner may elect to utilize the services offered by Greystar’s regional maintenance for an additional fee agreed to by Owner and Manager.

2.7            Licenses and Permits . Manager shall, in a timely manner, apply for, obtain and maintain all licenses and permits (including deposits and bonds) required for Manager in connection with the management and operation of the Project. Owner agrees to execute and deliver any and all applications and other documents and to otherwise cooperate to the fullest extent with Manager in applying for, obtaining and maintaining such licenses and permits. Owner will be responsible for all licenses and permits required for the Project. Manager agrees (a) to cooperate with Owner in gathering data for processing applications for permits and licenses that Owner pursues for the Project and (b) to advise Owner of all operating licenses and permits required to be maintained by Owner and of all renewal requirements with respect to any such licenses and permits provided that Manager is aware of the need for such licenses or permits.

2.8            Compliance with Laws . Manager shall comply with all laws applicable to it in the performance of its duties hereunder, including laws prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment laws (including those related to unfair labor practices), laws regarding depositing tenant security deposits and laws regarding the storage, release and disposal of hazardous materials and toxic substances by Project Employees, including without limitation, asbestos, petroleum and petroleum products.

Manager shall institute, in the name and at the expense of Owner, legal actions which Manager deems appropriate to collect charges, rent or other income from the Project, or to dispossess tenants or other persons in possession who default, or to cancel or terminate any lease, license or concession agreement for the breach thereof. Manager is authorized to institute and defend on behalf of Owner and/or Manager all legal actions related to Manager’s authority and performance under this Agreement. Reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for such legal actions shall be at Owner’s expense. It is expressly acknowledged by Owner that Manager shall not be responsible for providing legal advice, tax advice or other counsel to Owner or Project Employees with respect to any Project related matters, and any recommendations or advice given by Manager shall not be relied upon as legal advice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Manager be liable for any action (or inaction) by Manager taken in reliance on advice from legal counsel to the Owner and/or the Project. Further notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Manager institute or defend any legal proceedings where the amount in dispute exceeds $5,000.00 without Owner’s prior written consent.

2.10          Security Services . Owner acknowledges that Manager has not undertaken to provide, and is not responsible for providing, security services to the Project. Should Owner choose to do so, Owner (or Manager, as Owner’s agent on Owner’s behalf) may separately contract with a company providing alarm monitoring, patrol or similar services. Manager’s sole responsibility with respect to any security services shall be reasonable cooperation with the company providing such services and to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of any separate security contract. Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless with respect to any loss, claim or cause of action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) asserted against Manager due to acts or omissions of any such security company or as to any claimed inadequacy of any security services provided.

2.11          Project Defects .

Manager hereby expressly disclaims any expertise with respect to compliance with accessibility laws, environmental and other similar laws and regulations which may govern the Project and the Property. Manager's responsibility as to such matters will be limited to advising Owner of problems that come to the attention of Manager and implementing, at Owner's cost, remedial steps directed by Owner on terms consistent with this Agreement.

2.12          Debts of Owner . In the performance of its duties as Manager, Manager shall act on behalf of Owner solely in Manager’s capacity as Owner’s agent as specifically set forth in this Agreement. All debts and liabilities to third parties incurred by Manager pursuant to this Agreement and in the course of its operation and management of the Project shall be the debts and liabilities of Owner, and Manager shall not be liable for (and is hereby indemnified with respect to) any such debts or liabilities except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager or the Project Employees. Manager shall have no responsibility to make payments with Manager’s funds on any indebtedness incurred by Owner whether or not secured by the Project or any portion thereof.

2.13          Scope of Owner Liability.

DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

This Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (this “Declaration”), dated as of March 15, 2016, is made by AHB Apartments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Declarant”).

Declarant owns the land described in Exhibit A to this Declaration (the “Burdened Land”). Declarant is simultaneously with the execution of this Declaration conveying the Burdened Land to BR Henderson Beach, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landowner”). Declarant and Landowner have agreed to impose certain restrictions on the Burdened Land. But for creation of such restrictions, Declarant would not convey the Burdened Land to Landowner.

For the term of this Declaration (as provided in Section 5): (a) no condominium map, declaration of condominium ownership or other device for the purpose of creating fractionalized ownership may be made effective as to the Burdened Land or any improvements located on the Burdened Land, or any part of the Burdened Land or any such improvements, and any condominium map, declaration of condominium ownership or other device attempted for the purpose of creating fractionalized ownership during such term shall be void; (b) no dwelling unit located on the Burdened Land may be conveyed separately from all other dwelling units located on the Burdened Land; and (c) neither the Burdened Land nor any improvements located on the Burdened Land, nor any part of the Burdened Land or any such improvements, may be conveyed to a cooperative or other entity the purpose of which is to provide occupants of the Burdened Land or any improvements located on the Burdened Land with any ownership interest in the Burdened Land or any such improvements. Nothing in this Section 2 is intended to prevent ownership of the Burdened Land or any improvements located on the Burdened Land by a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity so long as the ownership of the entity (other than incidental amounts) is not vested, directly or indirectly, in persons who are occupants of the Burdened Land or any improvements located on the Burdened Land.

The restrictions imposed by this Declaration shall burden the Burdened Land, and the Burdened Land shall be held, transferred, sold and conveyed subject to such restrictions, whether or not reference is made to this Declaration in the related conveyance document. The restrictions imposed by this Declaration shall run with the land and be binding on all successor owners and other parties having any interest in the Burdened Land, whether or not so stated in any conveyance document. The restrictions imposed by this Declaration shall benefit and may be enforced by Declarant and any person who, from time to time, is or was the holder of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Declarant.

This Declaration may be enforced by injunction, it being specifically recognized that damages will not be an adequate remedy to compensate for a violation of this Declaration. Failure by any person to enforce this Declaration shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to do so.
