Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 26, 2007, Triple Net Properties, LLC, or Triple Net Properties, the managing member of our advisor, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Agreement, with Braemar Housing Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated third party, or the Seller, for the purchase of Residences at Braemar, a 160-unit class-A apartment property which consists of nine buildings, including one two-story and seven three-story residential buildings and one clubhouse, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, or the Braemar property, for a purchase price of $15,000,000. On June 29, 2007, Triple Net Properties executed an Assignment and Assumption of Real Estate Purchase, or the Assignment, to assign all of its interest as the buyer in the Agreement to Apartment REIT Residences at Braemar, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary.

The above descriptions of the Agreement and the Assignment are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Agreement and Assignment, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 of this R eport.

The information reported in Items 2.01 and 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.





Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information reported in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, is incorporated herein by reference.

On June 29, 2007, we purchased the Braemar property for a purchase price of $15,000,000 from the Seller. Currently, the Braemar property is approximately 98.7% leased. We financed the purchase price of the property: (i) through the assumption of a loan secured by the Braemar property from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company in the amount of $9,722,000 (described in Item 2.03); (ii) with an unsecured loan from NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., or NNN Realty Advisors, our sponsor, in the principal amount of $3,300,000(described in Item 2.03); and (iii) funds raised through our initial public offering. We paid an acquisition fee of $450,000, or 3.0% of the purchase price, to our advisor and its affiliate.





Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 29, 2007, Apartment REIT Residences at Braemar, LLC entered into a Loan Assumption and Modification Agreement, or the Assumption Agreement, with Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, or the Lender, Braemar Housing Limited Partnership, Phillip Levin and Bradley J. Shram and Norman A. Pappas. Pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, the Lender consented to the acquisition of the Braemar property by us and our assumption of a $10,000,000 loan between the Seller and the Lender, secured by the Braemar property, with an unpaid principal balance of $9,722,000, subject to terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents.

The secured loan is evidenced by an original promissory note and secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, conveying the Braemar property and granting a security interest in its fixtures and personal property, and by an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents between the Seller and Lender. The secured loan bears interest at a fixed rate o f 5.72%, had an original ten-year term, a 30-year amortization period and a maturity date of June 1, 2015. The loan provides for the following payments: (a) monthly principal and interest payments of $58,166.85 on the first of each month from July 1, 2005 through May 1, 2015; and (b) the outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable in full on June 1, 2015. The loan provides for a default interest rate equal to the lesser of: (a) 18% per annum or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The loan also provides for a late charge equal to 4% of past due amounts if any scheduled monthly and interest payment is not received on or before the 17th day of the calendar month. The loan documents also contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as well as provisions for reserves and impounds.

On June 29, 2007, in connection with our acquisition of the Braemar property, we, through our operating partnership, entered int o an unsecured loan with NNN Realty Advisors, as evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,300,000, or the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note matures on December 29, 2007. The Unsecured Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.85% per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments beginning on August 1, 2007 for the term of the Unsecured Note. The Unsecured Note also provides for a default interest rate of 8.85% per annum. Since NNN Realty Advisors is our sponsor, this loan is deemed a related party loan. Therefore, the terms of the unsecured loan and the Unsecured Note were approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, and deemed fair, competitive and commercially reasonable by our directors.

The material terms of the loans are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Assumption Agreement, Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, promissory notes, and related loan documents, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 t hrough 10.10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.





Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

1. IDENTIFICATION OF PARTIES

THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 26, 2007, between BRAEMAR HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Ohio limited partnership (“Seller”) and TRIPLE NET PROPERTIES, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

R E C I T A L S:

A. Seller owns that certain real property located in the County of Mecklenburg, State of North Carolina (the “State”), consisting of approximately twelve (12) acres of land, commonly known as “Residences at Braemar”, and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Land”), together with the improvements located thereon, containing one hundred sixty (160) apartments, and all other improvements located thereon (the “Improvements”).

B. Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Property (hereinafter defined) for the price and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

C. The date the Escrow Agent (hereinafter defined) receives a fully executed copy of this Agreement shall be the “Effective Date.”

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following:

(a) The Land, together with the Improvements;

(b) All of Seller’s interest as lessor in all leases covering the Land and the Improvements (said leases, together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Leases” and are identified in the Rent Roll (hereinafter defined) attached hereto as Exhibit B);

(c) All rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances appertaining to the Land and the Improvements including, without limitation, all easements, rights-of-way and other appurtenances used, connected with or inuring to the beneficial use or enjoyment of the Land and the Improvements. The Land, the Improvements and all such rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances (including, without limitation, Seller’s interest as lessor under the Leases) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Real Property;”

(d) All personal property, equipment, supplies and fixtures (collectively, the “Personal Property”) owned by Seller and used in the operation of the Real Property including, without limitation, all property described in Exhibit C attached hereto; and

(e) All intangible property used in connection with the foregoing including, without limitation, all trademarks, trade names (including, without limitation, the exclusive right to use the name “Residences at Braemar”), and the contract rights, licenses (to the extent transferable), permits (to the extent transferable) and warranties (to the extent transferable), more particularly described in Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Intangible Personal Property”). The Real Property, the Personal Property and the Intangible Personal Property are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property.”

3. THE PURCHASE PRICE

(a) The purchase price for the Property is Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be paid to Seller by paying the balance of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing (hereinafter defined), net of any mortgage loan Purchaser elects to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and net of all prorations and adjustments as provided herein.

(b) Within two (2) business days of the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to LandAmerica American Title, 8201 Preston Road, Suite 280, Dallas, Texas 75225, Attention: Debby S. Moore, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), by wire transfer in the amount of $150,000 (the “Initial Deposit” and together with the Extension Deposit, hereinafter defined, collectively the “Deposit”), which Deposit Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Deposit” includes interest earned thereon, if any. All interest earned on the Deposit, until Closing or payment to Seller, shall be attributed to Purchaser for federal income tax purposes; Purchaser’s federal tax identification number is set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller at Closing, and the Deposit shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price and shall otherwise be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If either Purchaser or Seller is entitled under this Agreement to the payment of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, and requests Escrow Agent to make such payment (whether to itself or the other party), the other party agrees promptly to provide notice to Escrow Agent authorizing such payment, unless such other party disagrees with such request in which event the provisions of the Escrow Agreement shall control.

(c) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to assume Seller’s obligations under that certain loan (the “Assumed Loan”) made by Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, an Iowa corporation (the “Lender”), to Seller evidenced by a promissory note dated May 25, 2005 (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), the outstanding principal amount of which will be approximately Nine Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($9,750,000.00) after the monthly debt service payment in May of 2007, which Note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated May 25, 2005 (the “Deed of Trust”), and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted and reduced by the amount of the Assumed Loan. In the event Purchaser elects to assume the Assumed Loan, Purchaser shall pay assumption fees and Lender’s counsel fees, in each case, payable to Lender, and Seller shall cooperate, without charge to Purchaser, to facilitate such assumption and it shall be a condition to Closing (notwithstanding Section 13 below) that (i) Purchaser and the Lender (each in its sole and absolute discretion) shall be satisfied with all environmental conditions related to the Real Property and any adjoining property in the vicinity of the Real Property, which Purchaser shall be entitled to discuss with the Lender prior to Closing in such detail as Purchaser shall deem appropriate, and (ii) Lender has approved the assumption of the Assumed Loan in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust (including without limitation Article 14 thereof) and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Deed of Trust). In the event Purchaser elects not to assume the Assumed Loan, the Assumed Loan and the Deed of Trust and other documents related thereto shall be deemed to be “Disapproved Matters” (as hereinafter defined), such loan shall be paid in full at Closing and such Deed of Trust and all other documents evidencing and/or securing such loan shall be satisfied and released of record. Any prepayment fee payable to Lender shall be borne by Purchaser in the case of a prepayment of such loan, and Seller will cooperate, without charge to Purchaser, to facilitate such prepayment.

4. TITLE

(a) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall order, at Purchaser’s expense, a title commitment on the Real Property (the “Commitment”), together with legible copies of all documents relating to the title exceptions referred to in the Commitment.

(b) As soon as possible following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall order, at Purchaser’s own expense, an updated survey of the Real Property sufficient to enable title company to issue an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Survey”), showing lot lines and monuments, building lines, easements both burdening and benefiting the Real Property, utilities, including water and sewer lines to the point of connection with the public system, the Improvements (including loading docks, if any, and parking spaces), encroachments, if any, on the Real Property or over adjoining properties, and other matters located on or affecting the Real Property, together with a certificate as to whether the Real Property lies within a flood zone as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Survey shall be certified as true and correct by the surveyor for the benefit of Purchaser and title company.

Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period (hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall give notice (the “Title Notice”) to Seller of any objections Purchaser may have to title or survey matters affecting the Real Property (“Disapproved Matters”). All title exceptions set forth in the Commitment not objected to by Purchaser shall constitute the “Permitted Encumbrances.” As a condition to the Closing, Seller shall use its best efforts to remove, or cause to be removed, all Disapproved Matters or, in the alternative, obtain title insurance in a form satisfactory to Purchaser insuring against the effect of such Disapproved Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to remove all monetary encumbrances at or prior to Closing other than the Assumed Loan in the event Purchaser, at its election, agrees to assume the Assumed Loan. Within five (5) business days of receipt of the Title Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any Disapproved Matters which Seller is unable to cause to be removed or satisfactorily insured against. Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice from Seller, elect, by giving written notice to Seller (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to waive its disapproval of such exceptions or survey matters, in which event such exceptions or survey matters as to which Purchaser has waived its objections shall be deemed to be “Permitted Encumbrances”). Failure by the Purchaser to give the Seller notice pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute a determination by Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for title or survey objections.

5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER

Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Purchaser that the following matters are true and correct as of the execution of this Agreement and will also be true and correct as of the Closing:

The copies of the Leases and other agreements with the tenants under the Leases (the “Tenants”) delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitute the entire agreements with such Tenants relating to the Real Property, have not been amended, modified or supplemented, except for such amendments, modifications and supplements delivered to Purchaser, and there are no other leases or tenancy agreements affecting the Real Property.

(e) Exhibit F attached hereto is a true and complete schedule of all of the Contracts (as hereinafter defined in Section 7), true, complete and correct copies of which will have been delivered to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval within ten (10) business days hereof.

The Contracts constitute the entire agreements with such vendors relating to the Property, have not been amended, modified or supplemented, except for such amendments, modifications and supplements delivered to Purchaser, and there are no other agreements with any third parties (excluding, however, the Leases and Permitted Encumbrances) affecting the Property which will survive the Closing.

To the extent information necessary to make such prorations is not available at the Closing, the amount of such prorations shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available.

14. CLOSING COSTS

Seller shall pay the cost of the title policy. In connection with the sale of the Property contemplated under this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for all transfer and recordation taxes, including, without limitation, all transfer, sales or bulk transfer taxes or like taxes on or in connection with the transfer of the Personal Property constituting part of the Property pursuant to the Bill of Sale and all accrued taxes of Seller prior to Closing and income taxes and other such taxes of Seller attributable to the sale of the Property to Purchaser.

(b) In the event that prior to the Closing there is any non-material damage to the Improvements, or any part thereof, Seller shall repair or replace such damage prior to the Closing.

Seller, Purchaser, and Original Carveout Obligor, for themselves and their respective members, managers and managing directors, and the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of all of them, acknowledge and agree that none of them has any right of setoff or defense or any counterclaim with respect to any of the indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents (or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith), and hereby release and discharge any counterclaim or right of action that Seller, Purchaser, or the Original Carveout Obligor or any of their respective partners, members, managers, managing directors, or the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns of any of them, may have had, may now have, or may hereafter have against Lender, its affiliates, successors, and/or assigns, arising from any cause or matter whatsoever occurring or existing prior to and through the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

10. Lien. Seller, Purchaser, and Original Carveout Obligor, jointly and severally, warrant and represent to, and agree with, Lender that the Original Security Instruments, as amended by this Agreement, collectively constitute a valid first-priority lien and security title on the Property, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability or any of such instruments may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditor’s rights generally, or by equitable principles of general application (whether considered in an action at law or in equity).

11. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Lender that:

(a) The Note and the Original Security Instruments, as herein amended, are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) As of the Effective Date, Purchaser has no defense, counterclaim, or right of offset with respect to any indebtedness to Lender.

(c) Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina, is authorized to transact business in the State of North Carolina, and has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all instruments and documents executed by Purchaser or any of its managing directors, managers, members, or officers in connection therewith have been duly authorized and approved by all of the members or managers of Purchaser, as required by its organizational documents and the organizational documents of any entity through which the authority of any signatory to this Agreement or any such instruments and documents derives his or her authority to execute them on Purchaser’s behalf (collectively, “Purchaser’s Organizational Documents”).

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the complete performance of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the purchase, ownership or operation of the Property by Purchaser, will result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or, except as provided by the Loan Documents, result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of Purchaser or under Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, or any court order, administrative order, indenture, mortgage, security agreement, bank loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound.

(e) Purchaser possesses and has carefully examined copies of the Loan Documents.

(f) Purchaser owns good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances whatsoever other than real estate taxes for the year 2007 and subsequent years (which are not yet due and payable) and the other Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Deed of Trust).

(g) The Deed of Trust, as amended by this Agreement, is and will remain a valid and enforceable first lien and security title on the Property.

(h) All information and financial statements furnished to Lender by or on behalf of the Purchaser and the New Carveout Obligor are true, correct, and complete in all material respects and are not intentionally misleading. The financial statements of Purchaser heretofore furnished to Lender present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial condition of the Purchaser and of the New Carveout Obligor at the respective dates or for the respective periods to which they apply, and such statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved.

(i) There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or threatened against or affecting Purchaser, at law or in equity, or before or by any governmental or administrative agency or instrumentality which, if adversely determined, would have an adverse effect upon the business or condition of the Purchaser or upon the Property.

(j) No judgment, decree, injunction, writ, or order of any court or governmental or administrative agency or instrumentality has been issued against Purchaser which has or may have any adverse effect upon the business or condition of Purchaser or upon the Property.

(k) No fact known to Purchaser exists which Purchaser has not disclosed to Lender in writing which materially affects adversely nor, so far as Purchaser can now foresee, will materially adversely affect the business prospects, profits or conditions (financial or otherwise) of Purchaser, or Purchaser’s ability to perform Purchaser’s obligations under the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or under the Loan Documents.

(l) Purchaser is not the subject of any pending or threatened bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(m) No consent or approval of any regulatory authority on the part of Purchaser is necessary or required by law as a prerequisite to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(n) The only assets of Purchaser are its interests in the Property.

(o) Purchaser is indirectly controlled by the New Carveout Obligor, which indirectly owns 99.9% of the membership interests in Purchaser.

12. Covenants of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby covenants with Lender as follows:

(a) Purchaser shall not raise or otherwise exercise any right of setoff or defense or any counterclaim with respect to any of the indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents (or by any document or instrument executed in connection therewith) which asserts that either any “Default” under (and as defined in) any of the Loan Documents or any event that, with notice and/or the passage of time, would become a “Default” under any of the Loan Documents has occurred or is in existence as of the Effective Date.

(b) Purchaser shall not raise or otherwise exercise any right of setoff or defense or any counterclaim with respect to any of the indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents (or by any document or instrument executed in connection therewith) which challenges or otherwise questions the accuracy, as of the Effective Date, of any of the representations and warranties in any one or more of the Original Loan Documents or in any other agreement, document or instrument executed in connection therewith.

13. Representations and Warranties of Seller and Original Carveout Obligor. Seller and Original Carveout Obligor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Lender that:

(a) To the best of Seller’s and Original Carveout Obligor’s knowledge, no “Default” under (and as defined in) any of the Loan Documents has occurred or is in existence as of the Effective Date hereof, nor has any event occurred that, with notice and/or the passage of time, would become a “Default” under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) None of the representations and warranties made in any one or more of the Original Loan Documents or any other agreement, document, and instrument executed in connection therewith is untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the time of delivery of this Agreement.

(c) The Original Loan Documents and all such other agreements, documents, and instruments are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability of any of such documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditor’s rights generally, or by equitable principles of general application (whether considered in an action at law or in equity).

(d) Neither Seller nor the Original Carveout Obligor has any defense, counterclaim, or right of offset with respect to any indebtedness to Lender.

(e) Seller is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio, with the requisite power and authority to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered by Seller to Lender concurrently herewith have been executed in accordance with the requirements of law and in accordance with all requirements of its organizational documents and the organizational documents of any entity through which the authority of any signatory to this Agreement or any other such document derives his or her authority to execute them on Seller’s behalf (collectively, “Seller’s Organizational Documents”), and are legal, valid and binding documents, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms.

(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized pursuant to the terms of Seller’s Organizational Documents; (ii) will not violate Seller’s Organizational Documents; and (iii) will not result in any breach of or constitute a default under any court order, administrative order, indenture, mortgage, security agreement, bank loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.

(h) All information provided by Seller to AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc. in connection with the proposed sale of the Property from Seller to Purchaser and Purchaser’s proposed assumption of the Loan is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

14. Indemnification. Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action of any third party against Lender in connection with or as a result of entering into this Agreement (including, without limitation, all losses, damages, liabilities, costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by Lender in connection therewith), except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all recording, documentary stamp, intangible and other taxes, if any, imposed upon Lender by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any instrument or document executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all penalties, interest, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith. It is expressly understood and agreed that the liability of Purchaser arising under this Section is not limited by any limitation on the recourse of Lender for the Loan that may be provided in the Loan Documents and that Lender shall have full recourse to all of the assets of Purchaser for the satisfaction of the obligations arising under this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby, and the satisfaction of the Loan Documents, and shall continue for so long as a claim may be asserted by any third party.

15. Release of Seller and Original Carveout Obligor. Upon the complete execution and recordation of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall be deemed to have been released from (i) all obligations under the Loan with respect to the payment of principal, interest and late fees under the Loan arising after the Effective Date, and (ii) all obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to any acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Date; and (b) Original Carveout Obligor shall be deemed to have been released from all obligations under the Environmental Indemnity and the Carveout Indemnity with respect to acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Date. Nevertheless, Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither any of the transactions described in this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement shall be construed to release Seller from any obligations under the Loan Documents which pertain to obligations, acts or omissions arising or occurring (i) prior to the Effective Date or (ii) out of circumstances or conditions existing as of the Effective Date, and Seller hereby acknowledges its continuing liability for all such obligations. Furthermore, Original Carveout Obligor acknowledges and agrees that neither any of the transactions described in this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement shall be construed to release Original Carveout Obligor from any obligations under the Carveout Indemnity or the Environmental Indemnity which pertain to acts or omissions occurring or arising prior to the Effective Date or arising out of circumstances or conditions existing as of the Effective Date, and Original Carveout Obligor hereby acknowledges the continuing liability of Original Carveout Obligor for all such obligations.

16. No Novation. All of the “Property” described in the Deed of Trust shall remain in all respects subject to the liens, charges and encumbrances of the Deed of Trust, and no provision contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, is intended to affect, shall affect, or shall be construed as affecting the liens, charges or encumbrances of the Deed of Trust, or the priority thereof over any other lien, charge or encumbrance, nor shall any provision contained in this Agreement or any action taken pursuant to this Agreement affect or be construed as affecting any other security or instrument held by Lender in connection with the Loan. Accordingly, it is the intent of the parties that this instrument shall not constitute a novation, and shall in no way adversely affect the priority of the lien or security title or effect of any of the Original Security Instruments. In the event that this Agreement, or any part hereof, shall be construed by a court of competent jurisdiction as operating to affect the priority of the lien or security title of any of the Original Security Instruments over claims that would otherwise be subordinate thereto, then to the extent that third parties acquiring an interest in the Property between the time of execution and delivery of the Original Security Instruments and the execution and delivery of this Agreement are prejudiced thereby, this Agreement or such portion hereof as shall be so construed, shall be void and of no force and effect, and this Agreement shall constitute, as to that portion, a subordinate lien on the collateral incorporating by reference the terms of the Original Security Instruments, and which Original Security Instruments then shall be enforced pursuant to the terms therein contained, independent of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as between themselves that they shall be bound by all terms and conditions hereof until all indebtedness evidenced by any of the Loan Documents has been satisfied in full.

17. Ratification. Except as herein amended or concurrently released, the Original Loan Documents shall remain unaffected, unchanged, unmodified, and unimpaired, and the priority of the lien and security interest of the Original Security Instruments on the Property shall not be changed or in any way altered or affected hereby, and the Note and Original Security Instruments, as herein amended, are hereby ratified and confirmed.

18. Subordination by Seller and Original Carveout Obligor. As inducement to Lender to permit a transfer of the Property and the assumption of the Loan by Purchaser, Seller and Original Carveout Obligor, jointly and severally, hereby subordinate any and all indebtedness of Purchaser hereafter owed to Seller and/or Original Carveout Obligor to all indebtedness of Purchaser to Lender, and covenant with Lender not to demand or accept any payment of principal or interest on any such indebtedness or a return while any “Default” exists under the terms of any of the Loan Documents.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a) Headings. Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed as controlling the scope of any provision hereof.

(b) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

(f) Security. All obligations on the part of Purchaser arising under this Agreement shall be secured by the lien and security title of the Original Security Instruments, as herein amended, and shall bear interest at the default rate under the Note from the date due until paid.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

$10,000,000.00
May 25, 2005

Secured Promissory Note

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BRAEMAR HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Ohio limited partnership, whose address is 3103 Camden Drive, Troy, Michigan 48084 (the “Borrower”), promises to pay Ten Million Dollars and No Cents ($10,000,000.00), together with interest according to the terms of this secured promissory note (this “Note”), to the order of TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Iowa corporation (together with any future holder, the “Lender”), whose address is C/O AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., 4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499-5443. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Deed of Trust, as defined in Section 12 below.

1. CONTRACT INTEREST RATE

The principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at the rate of Five and Seventy-Two One Hundredths percent (5.72%) per annum (the “Note Rate”). Interest shall he calculated in arrears based on a 360-day year having twelve thirty-day months.

2. SCHEDULED PAYMENTS

2.1 PREPAYMENT OF INTEREST FOR THE MONTH OF FUNDING

Unless the funding of the loan evidenced by this Note (together with all additional charges, advances and accruals, the “Loan”) occurs on the first day of a calendar month, the Borrower shall prepay, on the date of the funding, interest due from the date of the funding through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the funding occurs.

2.2 MONTHLY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS

On the first day of July, 2005 and on the first day of each subsequent calendar month through May, 2015, the Borrower shall pay an installment in the amount of Fifty-Eight Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six Dollars and Eighty-Five Cents ($58,166.85). Monthly installments of principal and interest shall be made when due, regardless of the prior acceptance by the Lender of unscheduled payments.

2.3 FINAL PAYMENT

The Loan shall mature on the first day of June, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), when the Borrower shall pay its entire principal balance, together with all accrued interest and any other amounts owed by the Borrower under this Note or under any of the other documents entered into now or in the future in connection with the Loan (the “Loan Documents”).

3. BALLOON PAYMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Borrower acknowledges that the scheduled monthly payments referred to in Section 2 will not amortize fully the principal sum of this Note over its term, resulting in a “balloon” payment at maturity. Any future agreement to extend this Note or refinance the indebtedness it evidences may be made only by means of a writing executed by a duly authorized officer of the Lender.

4.   APPLICATION OF MONTHLY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS

When the Lender receives a monthly principal and interest payment, the Lender shall apply it first to interest in arrears for the previous month and then to the amortization of the principal amount of this Note, unless other amounts are then due under this Note or the other Loan Documents. If other amounts are due when a regular monthly payment is received, the Lender shall apply the payment first to accrued interest and then, at its discretion, either to those other amounts or to principal.

5. DEFAULT INTEREST

If a Default exists (as defined in Section 9 below) the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall, at the option of the Lender, bear interest at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum and (ii) the maximum rate allowed by law. If interest has accrued at the Default Rate during any period, the difference between such accrued interest and interest which would have accrued at the Note Rate during such period shall be payable on demand. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any interest charged has exceeded the maximum rate allowed by law, the excess of the amount collected over the legal rate of interest will be applied to the indebtedness as a principal prepayment without premium, retroactively, as of the date of receipt, or returned to the Borrower if the Indebtedness bas been fully paid.

6. LATE CHARGE

Scheduled payments of principal and interest pursuant to Subsection 2.2 above are due on the first day of each calendar month, and if not paid on or before that date, become past due on the second day of each calendar month. If the Lender does not receive any scheduled monthly principal and interest payment on or before the seventeenth (17th) day of the calendar month in which it is due, the Lender will send the Borrower written notice that a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the late payment has accrued. Unless the Borrower can show that the installment was paid in full and on time, the Borrower shall pay any such late charge on or before the tenth day of the calendar month following the month during which the late payment was scheduled to have been received.

7. PREPAYMENT

This Note may be prepaid upon not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Lender. At the time of any prepayment, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on the principal balance of this Note and all other sums due to the Lender under the Loan Documents. In addition, unless the prepayment is a “Permitted Par Prepayment” (as defined in Section 8 below), the Borrower shall remit together with any prepayment a premium (the “Prepayment Premium Amount”) equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the prepayment and (B) the amount (the “Yield Protection Amount”) calculated in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph of this Note.

The Yield Protection Amount shall be calculated as follows:

First, the Lender shall determine the annual percentage yield on U.S. Treasury securities maturing at the end of the term of the Loan (the “Annual Treasury Instrument Yield”). The Annual Treasury Instrument Yield shall be determined as of ten (10) Business Days before the effective date of the prepayment. The Lender shall base its determination of the Annual Treasury Inshument Yield on the yield on U.S. Treasury instruments, as published in The Wall Sheet Journal (or, if The Wall Sheet Journal is not then being published or if no such reports are then being published in The Wall Sheet Journal as reported in another public source of information nationally recognized for accuracy in the reporting of the trading of governmental securities). If no such instruments mature on the exact maturity date of this Note, the Lender shall interpolate the Annual Treasury Inshument Yield on a shaight-line basis using the yield on the instrument whose maturity date most closely precedes that of this Note, and the yield on the instrument whose maturity date most closely succeeds that of this Note.

Second, the Lender shall determine the monthly payment (the “Monthly Reinvestment Payment”), based on a 360-day year and 30-day months, which would be payable on a hypothetical interest-only promissory note having a principal balance equal to the prepaid amount and bearing interest at the rate (the “Reinvestment Rate”) which, when compounded monthly, would produce a yield equal to the Annual Treasury Instrument Yield.

Third, the Lender shall determine the hypothetical monthly interest-only payment (based on a 360-day year and 30-day months) which would be payable on a promissory note having a principal balance equal to the prepaid amount and bearing interest at this Note Rate (the “Monthly Coupon Rate Payment”). Fourth, the Lender shall determine the present value of a series of monthly payments, each equal in amount to the amount by which the Monthly Coupon Rate Payment exceeds the Monthly Reinvestment Payment, received on the first day of each calendar month from and including the first day of the first full calendar month immediately following the effective date of prepayment to and including the Maturity Date, using the Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate.

Voluntary partial prepayments shall be permitted only in minimum amounts of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

The Prepayment Premium Amount constitutes liquidated damages to compensate the Lender for reinvestment costs, lost opportunity costs, and the loss by the Lender of its bargained-for investment in the Loan. The Borrower agrees that such liquidated damages are not a penalty but are a reasonable estimate in good faith of the actual damages sustained by the Lender as a result of such prepayment, which actual damages are impossible to ascertain with precision.

8. PERMITTED PAR PREPAYMENTS

The Lender shall not charge a prepayment premium on certain prepayments (the “Permitted Par Prepayments”). Permitted Par Prepayments include:

  (a)   any prepayment in full of the Loan made no more than ninety (90) days before the Maturity Date; and  

  (b)   any prepayment made as the result of the Lender’s election to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to the principal balance of this Note.  

9. DEFAULT

A default on this Note (“Default”) shall exist if (a) the Lender fails to receive any required installment of principal and interest on or before the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month in which it is due, (b) the Borrower fails to pay the matured balance of this Note on the Maturity Date or (c) a “Default” exists as defined in any other Loan Document. If a Default exists and the Lender engages counsel to collect any amount due under this Note or if the Lender is required to protect or enforce this Note in any probate, bankruptcy or other proceeding, then any expenses incurred by the Lender in respect of the engagement, including the reasonable fees and reimbursable expenses of counsel and including such costs and fees which relate to issues that are particular to any given proceeding, shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by this Note, shall he payable on demand, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Such fees and expenses include those incurred in connection with any action against the Borrower for a deficiency judgment after a trustee’s sale of the Real Properly under the Deed of Trust (defined below), including all of the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, property appraisal costs and witness fees.

The attorneys’ fees for which the Borrower shall be liable under this Section shall be limited to the reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by the Lender.

10. ACCELERATION

If a Default exists, the Lender may, at its option, declare the unpaid principal balance of this Note to be immediately due and payable, together with all accrued interest on the indebtedness, all costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and all other charges due and payable by the Borrower under this Note or any other Loan Document. Nevertheless, if the subject Default has arisen from a failure by the Borrower to make a regular monthly payment of principal and interest, the Lender shall not accelerate the indebtedness unless the Lender shall have given the Borrower a cure period of at least three (3) Business Days following Notice of its intent to do so. If the subject Default is a “Curable Nonmonetary Default” as defined in the Deed of Trust, the Lender shall exercise its option to accelerate only by delivering notice of acceleration to the Borrower. The Lender shall not deliver any such notice of acceleration until (a) the Borrower has received any required notice of the prospective Default and (b) any applicable cure period has expired.

Except as expressly described in this Section, no notice of acceleration shall be required in order for the Lender to exercise its option to accelerate the indebtedness in the event of Default.

11. PREPAYMENT FOLLOWING ACCELERATION

Any Default resulting in the acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be presumed to be an attempt to avoid the provisions of Section 7 of this Note, which prohibit prepayment or condition the Lender’s obligation to accept prepayment on the payment of a prepayment premium. Accordingly, if the indebtedness is accelerated, any amounts tendered to repay the accelerated indebtedness, or realized by the Lender through its remedies following acceleration, shall be subject to the prepayment premium that would have been applicable under Section 7 (calculated as if the prepayment had occurred on the date of acceleration).

12. SECURITY

This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) granted by the Borrower to J. Lindsay Stradley, Jr., the Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender, conveying the Real Property, which is located in the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and granting a security interest in certain fixtures and personal property, and by an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents made by the Borrower to the Lender, assigning the landlord’s interest in all present and future leases (the “Leases”) of all or any portion of the Real Property encumbered by the Deed of Trust. Reference is made to the Loan Documents for a description of the security and rights of the Lender. This reference shall not affect the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with its terms.

13. RECOURSE TO BORROWER

The Lender agrees that it shall not seek to enforce any monetary judgment with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note against the Borrower, the Borrower’s general partner, Phillip I. Levin, Joseph J. Recchie, Bradley J. Schram or Norman A. Pappas (a) except through recourse to the Property, unless the obligation from which the judgment arises is one of the “Carveout Obligations” defined in Section 14, and (b) except to the extent of an aggregate of Four Million Dollars and No Cents ($4,000,000.00), unless and until the Recourse Release Conditions have been satisfied.

  (ix)   any liability of the Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.

After the Lender accepts such an offer, default by the Borrower in fulfilling the terms of the accepted offer shall trigger personal liability for the entire Indebtedness. No such offer shall be conditioned on any payment by the Lender, on the release of any Obligor from any Obligation, or on any other concession.

15. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, or operates, or would if enforced operate to invalidate this Note, then that provision shall be deemed null and void. Nevertheless, its nullity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Note, which shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision in a particular jurisdiction shall neither invalidate nor render unenforceable any other provision of the Loan Documents in that jurisdiction, and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction. If a provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular person or under a particular circumstance, it shall nevertheless he presumed valid and enforceable as to others, or under other circumstances.

26.11 USURY

The parties intend that no provision of the Note or the Loan Documents he interpreted, construed, applied, or enforced so as to permit or require the payment or collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate. In this regard, the Borrower and the Lender each stipulate and agree that it is their common and overriding intent to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws. Accordingly, none of the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shalt ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, and the Borrower shall never be liable for interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate. Therefore, (a) in the event that the Indebtedness and Obligations are prepaid or the maturity of the Indebtedness and Obligations is accelerated by reason of an election by the Lender, unearned interest shall be canceled and, if theretofore paid, shall either be refunded to the Borrower or credited on the Indebtedness, as the Lender may elect; (b) the aggregate of all interest and other charges constituting interest under applicable laws and contracted for, chargeable or receivable under the Note and the other Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with the transaction contemplated thereby shall never exceed the maximum amount of interest, nor produce a rate in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate; and (c) if any excess interest is provided for or received, it shall be deemed a mistake, and the same shall, at the option of the Lender, either be refunded to the Borrower or credited on the unpaid principal amount (if any), and the Indebtedness shall be automatically reformed so as to permit only the collection of the interest at the Maximum Permitted Rate. Furthermore, if any provision of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents is interpreted, construed, applied, or enforced, in such a manner as to provide for interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, then the parties intend that such provision automatically shall be deemed reformed retroactively so as to require payment only of interest at the Maximum Permitted Rate. If, for any reason whatsoever, interest paid or received during the full term of the applicable Indebtedness produces a rate which exceeds the Maximum Permitted Rate, then the amount of such excess shall be deemed credited retroactively in reduction of the then outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness, together with interest at such Maximum Permitted Rate. The Lender shall credit against the principal of such Indebtedness (or, if such Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of such interest) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid to produce a rate equal to the Maximum Permitted Rate. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the applicable Indebtedness, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of such Indebtedness. In connection with all calculations to determine the Maximum Permitted Rate, the parties intend that all charges be excluded to the extent they are properly excludable under applicable usury laws, as they from time to time are determined to apply to this transaction. The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between the Borrower and the Lender.

26.12 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

(a) Headings and General Application

The section, subsection, paragraph and subparagraph headings of this Deed of Trust are provided for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of the sections, subsections, paragraphs or subparagraphs. If the text requires, words used in the singular shall be read as including the plural, and pronouns of any gender shall include all genders.

(b) Sole Discretion

The Lender may take any action or decide any matter under the terms of this Deed of Trust or of any other Loan Document (including any consent, approval, acceptance, option, election or authorization) in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or for no reason, unless the related Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary. Any approval or consent that the Lender might withhold may be conditioned in any way.

(c) Result of Negotiations

This Deed of Trust results from negotiations between the Borrower and the Lender and from their mutual efforts. Therefore, it shall be so construed, and not as though it had been prepared solely by the Lender.

(d) Reference to Particulars

The scope of a general statement made in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement’s scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of a Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary, the term “include” shall mean “include, but shall not be limited to” and the term “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

If there is more than one individual or entity executing this Deed of Trust as the Borrower, liability of such individuals and entities under this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several.

The Lender may take, release, or resort to any security for the Note and the Obligations and may release any party primarily or secondarily liable on any Loan Document or on the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, all without affecting any liability not expressly released in writing by the Lender.

26.27 CUMULATNREE MEDIES

Every right and remedy provided in this Deed of Trust shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy of the Lender, whether conferred by law or by grant or contract, and may be enforced concurrently with any such right or remedy. The acceptance of the performance of any obligation to cure any Default shall not he construed as a waiver of any rights with respect to any other past, present or future Default. No waiver in a particular instance of the requirement that any Obligation be performed shall be construed as a waiver with respect to any other Obligation or instance. Furthermore, the Borrower hereby waives any rights or remedies on account of any extensions of time, releases granted, or other dealings between the Lender and any subsequent owner of the Property as such activities
are contemplated or otherwise addressed in N.C. Gen. Stat. Sections 45-45.1 or any similar or subsequent law.

26.28 NO OBLIGATION TO MARSHAL ASSETS

No holder of any deed of trust, security interest or other encumbrance affecting all or any portion of the Real Property, which encumbrance is inferior to the title and security title of this Deed of Trust, shall have any right to require the Lender to marshal assets.

This Assignment is given in connection with the Loan and in support of the performance of the Borrower’s Obligations, and nothmg herein contained shall be construed as (a) constituting the Lender a “mortgagee-in-possession” of the Real Property or (b) an assumption by the Lender of the Borrower’s obligations as landlord under the Leases.

10.2 APPLICATION OF RENTS

The Lender shall apply Rents it collects as follows: (i) first, to the payment of late and other charges, if any, due and payable under the Loan Documents; (ii) second, to the repayment of any sums advanced by the Lender for the payment of any insurance premiums, taxes, assessments or other impositions or charges against the Real Property; (iii) third, to the payment of any other sums due from the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (other than the amounts described in clauses (v) and (vi) below); (iv) fourth, to the payment of any obligations of the Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; fifth, to the payment of interest and principal then due under the Note; (vi) sixth, to the establishment and maintenance of an impound account for the payment of impositions on the Real Property in accordance with the Loan Documents; (vii) seventh, to the payment to unaffiliated third parties of ordinary expenses incurred in connection with operation of the Real Property, including reasonable and customary third-party management fees not exceeding four percent (4%) of effective gross income; (viii) eighth, to establish a fund to be held by the Lender in its general account, without interest, as additional security for the Loan pending the cure of all Defaults, and to be disbursed by the Lender in its reasonable discretion to permit such Defaults to be cured; and (ix) ninth, after the cure of all Defaults and only thereafter, the balance of the Rents shall be distributed to the Borrower or to the order of the Borrower.

10.3 NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION OR WAIVER

The Borrower agrees that the Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section shall give rise to neither (a) an accord and satisfaction with respect to any obligation not fully performed by the Borrower or completely satisfied through the application of Rents by the Lender, nor (b) a waiver of any rights or remedies of the Lender.

10.4 DEFAULT INTEREST

Default under this Assignment is a “Default” under the terns of the Deed of Trust. The Lender is therefore entitled, at its sole discretion, to elect for interest on the Loan to accrue at the Default Rate specified in the Note until the Default is cured.

10.5 REINSTATEMENT OF THE BORROWER’S LICENSES

Upon the cure of all Defaults, the Lender may by Notice to the Borrower, reinstate the licenses of the borrower under Sections 4 and 5.1 of this Assignment.

10.6 ADDITIONAL NORTH CAROLINA REMEDIES

The Borrower expressly agrees that the Lender shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies set forth elsewhere in this Assignment, all the rights regarding enforcement of assignments of rents and leases, or otherwise available under North Carolina law.

11.   POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Borrower appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, in the name, place, and stead of the Borrower to do, while a Default exists, all things and to perform all acts with respect to the Leases and the Real Property authorized by the terms of this assignment, as the Lender may determine from time to time in its discretion.

12.   WAIVER OF CLAIMS

The Borrower waives any right, claim, or demand it may now or hereafter have against any tenant by reason of payment of Rents to the Lender at the Lender’s request following a Default.

13.   LENDER NOT MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION

Acceptance by the Lender of this Assignment shall not, prior to entry upon and taking of possession of the Real Property by the Lender, be deemed or construed to constitute the Lender a mortgagee in possession of the Real Property, nor shall the Lender be deemed to have assumed, by accepting this Assignment, the landlord’s obligations to any tenant. In particular, acceptance by Lender of this Assignment shall not obligate the Lender (a) to appear in or to defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases or to the Real Property, (b) to perform any obligation as landlord under the Leases, (c) to pay any amount or to assume any future financial obligation of the landlord, including any obligation to pay to any tenant a security or other deposit not actually received by the Lender or (d) to indemnify any tenant for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Real Property.

14.   CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

The Lender may take or release other security, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such indebtedness, and may apply any other security therefore held by it to the satisfaction of such indebtedness without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. Nothing herein contained and no act or omission by the Lender pursuant to the powers and rights granted it herein shall he deemed to be a waiver by the Lender of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, or shall prejudice any of the rights and remedies possessed by the Lender under their terms. The right of the Lender to collect the Loan or additional Obligations may be exercised by the Lender prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequently to any action taken by the Lender under this Assignment.

15.   EXPENSES

Any expenses incurred by the Lender in exercising its remedies under this Assignment after the occurrence of a Default (including attorneys’ fees and costs in enforcing or protecting this Assignment in any bankruptcy proceeding) shall constitute further indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender and shall be immediately payable to the Lender, together with interest at the Default Rate specified in the Note.

16.   INDEMNIFICATION

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damage or expense (unless such liability, loss, damage or expenses arises through the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) which the Lender may or might incur under or by reason of this Assignment, or for any lawful action taken by the Lender hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Lender arising out of the Leases, including, without limitation, any claim by any tenant of credit for Rent paid to and received by the Borrower, but not delivered to the Lender, for any period under any Leases more than one month in advance of the due date thereof; and should the Lender incur any such liability, loss, damage or expense, the amount thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) with interest thereon at the rate specified as the Default Rate in the Note shall be payable by the Borrower immediately without demand, and shall be secured hereby and by the Deed of Trust.

1. RECITALS

  A.   The Lender funded a certain loan in the original principal amount of TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Loan”), and to evidence the Loan, Braemar Housing Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership (the “Grantor”), made and delivered to the Lender a certain Secured Promissory Note dated May 25, 2005, in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Note”) and certain additional documents (together with the Note, the “Loan Documents”). The Loan is secured, inter alia, by the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing given by Grantor to Lender encumbering certain real property (the “Real Property”) in the City of Charlotte, County of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, and recorded in Book 18849, Page 135, in the Registry of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the “Deed of Trust”).

  B.   The Loan was assumed by Apartment REIT Residences at Braemar, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and modified pursuant to the Loan Assumption and Modification Agreement dated as of the Effective Date among the Lender, the Borrower, the Grantor and Phillip I. Levin, Bradley J. Schram and Norman A. Pappas (collectively, the “Original Carveout Obligors”).

  C.   The Borrower has purchased the Property from the Grantor, and the Borrower and the Grantor have requested that the Lender consent to such purchase pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust.

  D.   To fulfill a condition of the Lender to the granting of such consent, the Borrower has agreed to be bound by all of the Loan Documents as though the Borrower were originally the “Grantor” under the Deed of Trust and the “Borrower” under the Note and the other Loan Documents.

  E.   The Note and certain of the Loan Documents include an “exculpation clause” in which the Lender agrees that it shall not seek to collect the Loan except through recourse to certain Property (as defined below), subject, however, to certain exceptions (the “Carveouts”).

  F.   The Deed of Trust provides that the exculpation clause shall be void without notice if the Borrower voluntarily transfers or encumbers the Property in violation of Section 13 (the “due on transfer or encumbrance” section) of the Deed of Trust, or files a voluntary bankruptcy petition under certain conditions.

  G.   The Lender has required, as a further condition to the granting of such consent, that the Carveout Obligor (a) guarantee that portion of the Indebtedness that arises because the Lender has advanced funds or incurred expenses in respect of the Carveouts while the Loan has remained outstanding, (b) guarantee the entire Indebtedness, if the Borrower takes any action that voids the exculpation clause set forth in the Note, and (c) indemnify the Lender and hold it harmless, to the extent of the Lender’s actual damages and losses, with respect to any circumstance or event comprising a Carveout.

2. AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, to induce the Lender to consent to both the conveyance of the Property to the Borrower and the Borrower’s assumption of the Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Carveout Obligor hereby agrees as follows:

The Carveout Obligor acknowledges that the Loan is made solely for business purposes and that the Carveout Obligor will be liable for a deficiency judgment after any trustee’s sale or deed in lieu of trustee’s sale that the Lender elects to prosecute or accept, to the extent that Carveout Obligations have remained unsatisfied.

6. CONDITIONAL GUARANTEE OF ENTIRE INDEBTEDNESS

The Carveout Obligor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment to Lender of the Indebtedness if the Borrower (a) voluntarily transfers or creates any material voluntary lien on the Property in violation of the Loan Documents, or (b) files a voluntary petition for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and has not offered, prior to the filing, to enter into the Lender’s choice of either an agreement to permit an uncontested foreclosure, or an agreement to deliver a deed in lieu of foreclosure within sixty days of the Lender’s acceptance of the offer. Following the Lender’s acceptance of such an offer, default by the Borrower under such an agreement shall trigger personal liability for the entire Indebtedness. No such offer shall be conditioned on any payment by the Lender, on the release of any Obligor from any Carveout Obligation, or on any other concession.

The foregoing guarantee is not a guarantee of collection, but rather is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, continuing guarantee of payment and performance. In this regard, the Carveout Obligor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee set forth in this Agreement may not be revoked as to any present or future advances to or existing or additional liability incurred by the Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents. The guarantee set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate when the Indebtedness has been satisfied in full.

The Carveout Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

  (a)   This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered.

  (b)   The execution and performance of this Agreement and all guaranties, indemnities and covenants herein will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any contract, guarantee, document or other instrument to which the Carveout Obligor is a party or by which the Carveout Obligor may be bound or affected, and do not and will not violate or contravene any law to which the Carveout Obligor is subject; nor do any such other instruments impose or contemplate any obligations which are or will be inconsistent with this Agreement.

  (c)   No approval by, authorization of, or filing with any federal, state or municipal or other governmental commission, board or agency or other governmental authority is necessary in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

  (d)   This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Carveout Obligor, enforceable against the Carveout Obligor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles of general application (whether considered in an action at law or in equity).

  (e)   All financial information furnished by the Carveout Obligor to Lender is true, correct and complete in all material respects and does not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

  (f)   The following financial statement of the Carveout Obligor, as received by the Lender, is true and accurate as of its date: June 19, 2007. There has been no material adverse change in the Carveout Obligor’s financial condition since the date of this financial statement.

  (g)   The Carveout Obligor is not the subject of any bankruptcy court filing, insolvency proceeding, receivership, composition or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

  (h)   There are no material actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Carveout Obligor, threatened against or affecting Carveout Obligor.

8. FINANCIAL REPORTS

Unless the Carveout Obligor is a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of any fiscal year, it shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of such fiscal year, deliver to the Lender copies of its financial statements.

The financial and operating statements provided under this Section need not, as an initial matter be certified by an independent certified public accountant as having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, or, in the case of operating statements, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Carveout Obligor shall, however, certify that such statements are true and correct, and the Lender expressly reserves the right to require such a certification by an independent certified public accountant if it has reason to believe that any previously provided financial or operating statement is misleading in any material respect.

9. DEFAULT

All payments with respect to the Indebtedness received by the Lender from the Borrower, or any party other than the Carveout Obligor may be applied by the Lender to the Indebtedness in such manner and order as the Lender desires, in its sole discretion, whether or not such application reduces the liability of the Carveout Obligor with respect to the Carveout Obligations.

This Agreement is not secured by any of the Loan Documents securing the Loan.

12. WAIVERS

  12.1   Subrogation Rights Against Borrower

If the Lender has initiated any action against the Borrower to enforce the Loan Documents, the Lender may join the Carveout Obligor or refrain from doing so, at the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. The liability of the Carveout Obligor under this Agreement shall be reinstated with respect to any amount at any time paid to Lender by the Borrower on account of the Carveout Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Lender upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Carveout Obligor other than the party against whom the Lender has sought to enforce this Agreement, as though such amount had not been paid.

Supplemental Environmental Indemnity Agreement

This Supplemental Environmental Indemnity Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 29th day of June, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by APARTMENT REIT RESIDENCES AT BRAEMAR, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (the “Borrower”), with its principal place of business at c/o Triple Net Properties, LLC, 1606 Santa Rosa Drive, Suite 109, Richmond, Virginia 23229, and NNN APARTMENT REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Carveout Obligor”), whose address is c/o Triple Net Properties, LLC, 1551 N.

1.   RECITALS

  A.   The Lender funded a certain loan in the original principal amount of TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Loan”), and to evidence the Loan, Braemar Housing Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership (the “Grantor”), made and delivered to the Lender a certain Secured Promissory Note dated May 25, 2005, in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Note”) and certain additional documents (together with the Note, the “Loan Documents”). The Loan is secured, inter alia, by the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing given by Grantor to Lender encumbering certain real property (the “Real Property”) in the City of Charlotte, County of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, and recorded in Book 18849, Page 135, in the Registry of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the “Deed of Trust”).

  B.   The Loan was assumed by the Borrower and modified pursuant to the Loan Assumption and Modification Agreement dated as of the Effective Date among the Lender, the Borrower, the Grantor and Phillip I. Levin, Bradley J. Schram and Norman A. Pappas (collectively, the “Original Carveout Obligors”).

  C.   The Borrower has purchased the Property from the Grantor, and the Lender has consented to such purchase pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust subject to certain conditions.

  D.   To fulfill a condition of the Lender to the granting of such consent, the Borrower and the Carveout Obligor desire to (a) assume full personal liability for the repayment of that portion of the Indebtedness that arises because the Lender has advanced funds or incurred expenses as a result of the failure of the Borrower to meet its obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to environmental matters and (b) indemnify the Lender and hold it harmless from actual damages suffered as a result of environmental matters.

7.   DEFAULT

A “Default” shall occur under this Agreement upon:

  (c)   the filing by the Borrower or the Carveout Obligor of a petition in bankruptcy or for relief from creditors under any present or future law that affords general protection from creditors; the filing by any other person of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against the Borrower or the Carveout Obligor; or the filing of any other action that may result in a composition of debts, provide for the marshaling of assets for the satisfaction of the Borrower’s or the Carveout Obligor’s debts, or result in the judicially ordered sale of assets for the purpose of satisfying obligations to creditors (unless a motion for the dismissal of the petition or other action is filed within ten (10) days and results in its dismissal within sixty (60) days of the filing of the petition or other action); or the dissolution or liquidation of the Borrower or the Carveout Obligor, or the cessation of its legal existence; or the death of the Borrower or the Carveout Obligor who is a natural person (unless the event described in this Paragraph results in a Permitted Transfer as defined in the Deed of Trust) unless, following any such event affecting the Carveout Obligor, any remaining persons or entities liable for the Obligations have the direct or indirect power to exercise management control over the Real Property and have an aggregate net worth (excluding the value of the Borrower’s equity interest in the Real Property) at least equal to the Net Worth Requirement, or unless the Borrower and any remaining persons or entities liable for the Obligations (including the executor of the estate of any deceased Carveout Obligor) diligently and continuously pursue the replacement of the subject Carveout Obligor, and succeed, within sixty (60) days of such an event, in causing another person to assume the Obligations, so that persons or entities who collectively meet the Net Worth Requirement have the direct or indirect power to exercise management control over the Real Property.

8.   REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

Upon Default under this Agreement, the Lender shall have all of the rights of a guaranteed or indemnified party under the laws of North Carolina. Interest on any unpaid obligations shall accrue at the Default Rate. Interest which accrues on the Indebtedness at the Default Rate as a result of a Default under this Agreement is an Obligation under Section 4.

9.   APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

All payments with respect to the Indebtedness received by the Lender from the Borrower, or from any party other than the Carveout Obligor, may be applied by the Lender to the Indebtedness in such manner and order as the Lender desires, in its sole discretion, whether or not such application reduces the liability of the Carveout Obligor with respect to the Obligations. If a foreclosure sale of the Real Property takes place, the proceeds of the sale (whether received in cash or by credit bid) shall be applied first to reduce that portion of the Indebtedness for which the Borrower has not assumed personal liability under Section 4 and which is not guaranteed by the Carveout Obligor under Section 4.

10.   UNSECURED OBLIGATION

The Deed of Trust secures neither (A) the Carveout Obligor’s Obligations, nor (B) those of the Borrower’s Obligations (i) that either (a) have not been paid as of the date of a trustee’s sale under the Deed of Trust, or (b) have not been paid as of the Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of trustee’s sale, and (ii) that arise with respect to expenses, liabilities or damages incurred by the Lender after a trustee’s sale under the Deed of Trust, or after the Lender’s or its affiliate’s acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, or that are the subject of any Claim or any portion of a Claim against the Lender or the Property. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations which are so unsecured are separate and distinct from, and not the substantial equivalent of, those that are so secured, and that such unsecured Obligations shall survive such a trustee’s sale or acceptance of a deed in lieu of a trustee’s sale.

The Carveout Obligor waives (a) any right of reimbursement, subrogation, exoneration, contribution, or indemnity from or by the Borrower, and (b) any “claim,” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, which the Carveout Obligor might now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower by virtue of the Carveout Obligor’s performance of any obligation of the Borrower.

12.   MISCELLANEOUS

  12.1   Independence of Obligations

The Borrower and the Carveout Obligor shall be jointly, severally, fully and personally liable for any or all of the Obligations.

The scope of a general statement made in this Agreement shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement’s scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of this Agreement contains specific language to the contrary, the term “include” shall mean “include, but shall not be limited to” and the term “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement

This Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement (this “Assignment”) is made as of the 29th day of June, 2007, by and among APARTMENT REIT RESIDENCES AT BRAEMAR, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Borrower”), TRIPLE NET PROPERTIES REALTY, INC., a California corporation (“Triple Net” or “Manager”) and TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Iowa corporation (“Lender”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrower, as the owner, and Triple Net, as the property manager, entered into that certain Management Agreement dated as of June 29, 2007 (the “Management Agreement”), with respect to a parcel of improved real property in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the “Property”), containing 160 multi-family apartment units and related amenities, the address of the rental office for which is located at 8010 Woodsedge Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina 28216;

WHEREAS, Lender made a loan (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan”) to Braemar Housing Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership (“Original Borrower”), evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note in the principal face amount of $10,000,000.00 dated May 25, 2005, which Borrower, as the successor in title of Original Borrower, is assuming pursuant to the terms of a certain Loan Assumption and Modification Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, Original Borrower, Lender and others (the “Assumption Agreement”; such Secured Promissory Note, as affected by the Assumption Agreement, collectively referred to as the “Note”),

WHEREAS, the Loan is secured by, inter alia, a Deed of Trust dated May 25, 2005, recorded in Deed Book 18849, Page 135, Registry of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, encumbering the Property, as modified by that certain Loan Assumption and Modification Agreement dated of even date herewith (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Instrument”); and

WHEREAS, it is a condition of Lender’s execution of the Assumption Agreement that the Management Agreement be subordinated to the lien of the Security Instrument and be collaterally assigned to Lender;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. Borrower hereby collaterally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title, interest and privileges in the Management Agreement, together with any extensions or renewals thereof and subcontracts thereunder.

2. The assignment herein granted is given for the purpose of securing the performance by Borrower of all of its obligations and liabilities to Lender created or incurred under the Note, the Security Instrument or under any other instrument or document given to evidence, secure or support the Loan, whether now existing or hereafter arising, contracted or incurred (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”).

3. Borrower will not terminate the Management Agreement, or modify or amend any material terms of the Management Agreement without the written consent of Lender.

4. Notwithstanding any presumption to the contrary, (i) so long as Lender has not succeeded to the interest of Borrower under the Management Agreement as herein provided, Lender shall not be obligated by reason of acceptance of the assignment herein granted to perform any obligation of Borrower under the Management Agreement, and (ii) Lender shall have no duty or obligation under the Management Agreement until such time as Lender gives Manager written notice of its election not to terminate the Management Agreement.

5. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender, as a material inducement to Lender to accept the assignment, that:

(a) The Management Agreement is in full force and effect, free from any default, and has not been amended or modified;

(b) Borrower has made no prior assignment of any of Borrower’s rights under the Management Agreement and Borrower shall not make any such assignment; and

(c) Borrower has not done anything which might prevent Lender from or limit Lender in operating under any of the provisions hereof.

6. A “Default” under the Security Instrument or the Note shall constitute a “Default” hereunder.

7. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to give written notice to Manager of Borrower’s default, and, if Lender gives affirmative notice that it desires the benefits hereof, Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of Borrower under the Management Agreement.

8. The Management Agreement and any extension, renewal, replacement or modification thereof, and all of the right, title and interest (if any) of Manager in and to the Property are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and to any renewals, modifications or extensions thereof, and all rights of Manager, including but not limited to any right to collect any management fees, leasing fees or other amounts accrued prior to any foreclosure under the Security Instrument, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the rights and claims of Lender under the Security Instrument.

9. In the event of the acceleration of the Note or the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or in the event Lender comes into possession of or acquires title to the Property by any other means arising out of a Default by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, upon notice to Manager, terminate the Management Agreement without obligation to Manager including, without limitation, liability for any management, leasing or other fees or other amounts claimed by Manager; provided, however, that at the option of Lender, Manager shall continue for a period determined by Lender, to perform all of its obligations under the Management Agreement and shall receive compensation as provided therein (excluding any compensation for or in connection with termination of the Management Agreement) until such time as Lender terminates the Management Agreement or a substitute manager shall have been approved by Lender and shall have commenced to manage the Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Lender continues the Management Agreement, Lender shall be responsible only for obligations which first arise thereunder during the period Lender keeps the Management Agreement in force. Under no circumstances will Lender have any liability for any obligations under the Management Agreement accruing prior to or after the period during which Lender retains Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or for any termination or similar charges provided for in the Management Agreement.

10. In the event Lender comes into possession of or acquires title to the Property as described in Paragraph 9 above and elects in writing not to terminate the Management Agreement as described in Paragraph 9 above, Manager agrees to attorn to Lender and be bound to Lender under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement for the period commencing on the date when Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower under the Management Agreement and ending with Lender’s termination thereof, with the same force and effect as if Lender were a party to the Management Agreement. Any such attornment shall be effective and self-operative as an agreement between Manager and Lender without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any party hereto. Nevertheless, Manager and Lender agree, upon the election of and written demand of Lender, to execute an instrument in confirmation of the foregoing provision.

11. Manager hereby certifies to Lender that the Management Agreement is in full force and effect, free from any default, and has not been amended or modified except to the extent, if any, described herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Manager warrants that it has received payment in full of all leasing commissions and similar compensation due in connection with all leases executed with respect to the Property.

12. Manager hereby agrees with Lender as follows:

(a) Manager shall serve upon Lender notice of (i) any alleged default by Borrower under the Management Agreement, (ii) any intention to terminate the Management Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions set forth therein, or (iii) any proposed amendment of the Management Agreement, along with a copy of such amendment.

(b) In the event Borrower defaults under any of the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default. Manager shall not take any action with respect to such default under the Management Agreement, including without limitation any action in order to terminate, rescind or void the Management Agreement or to withhold any payments thereunder, for a period of thirty days after the receipt of such written notice from Manager to Lender (provided that in the case of any default which cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with diligence be cured within such thirty-day period, if Lender shall proceed promptly to cure the same and thereafter shall prosecute the curing of such default with diligence and continuity, then the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of the same).

(c) In no event shall Manager terminate the Management Agreement while Lender is proceeding with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or otherwise exercising its rights and/or remedies as a result of a default of Borrower under the Security Instrument, the Note or any related security instruments, except for the failure of Lender to perform its obligations pursuant to Paragraph 9 above.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Management Agreement, from and after the occurrence of any Default by Borrower under any Loan Document, and for as long as such Default continues uncured, Manager shall not retain any sums in excess of the amount due and owing Manager as compensation to Manager under the Management Agreement. Any such excess sums received by Manager attributable to the period during which a Default exists shall be held by Manager in trust for Lender, and Manager shall deliver such excess sums to Lender immediately upon Manger’s receipt of notice from Lender of Borrower’s default.

13. Manager hereby agrees with Lender that if Lender shall succeed to the interest of Borrower under the Management Agreement, or if Lender shall give Manager notice of its intention to foreclose the Security Instrument and to come into possession of the Property, as provided above, Lender shall not be:

(a) liable for any omission of Borrower under the Management Agreement; or

(b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Manager might have against Borrower; or

(c) liable for any management fees or other amounts due to Manager from Borrower for any period prior to the date when Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower under the Management Agreement; or

(d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Management Agreement made without Lender’s prior written consent.

14. All rights and remedies of Lender expressed herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies possessed by it, including those under any other Loan Document. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or future exercises thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of Lender permitted hereunder shall impair or affect the rights of Lender in and to the Management Agreement.

15. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns. The words “foreclosure” and “foreclosure sale” as used herein shall be deemed to include the acquisition of Borrower’s estate in the Property by voluntary deed (or assignment) in lieu of foreclosure, by power of sale, or otherwise. The word “Lender” shall include Lender as herein specifically named and any of its successors and assigns, including any person or entity who shall have succeeded to Borrower’s interest in the Property by, through or under foreclosure of the Security Instrument. The word “Borrower” shall include Borrower as herein specifically named and any of its successors and assigns.

16. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by all parties hereto. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein contained.

17. The use of the neuter gender in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, when the context requires.

18. In order for any demand, consent, approval or other communication to be effective under the terms of this Agreement, “Notice” must be provided under the terms of this Section. All Notices must be in writing.

UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”)

$3,300,000

June 29, 2007 (the “Note Date”)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NNN Apartment REIT Holdings, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (“Borrower”), unconditionally promises to pay NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided, the principal amount of Three Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,300,000).

Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the Note Date until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in Schedule A attached hereto), provided that any principal amount not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (both before as well as after judgment), shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate. Interest on this Note shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month beginning on the Commencement Date, each date on which an installment of principal is due and payable hereunder, upon any prepayment of this Note (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity. All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a 365-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period (including the first day but excluding the last day). In no event shall the interest rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

1. Maturity Date. The outstanding principal amount of the Note, and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be automatically due and payable on the Maturity Date.

2. Payments. All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds at the office of Lender located at 1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Ana, California 92705, or at such other place as Lender may direct. Whenever any payment on this Note is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined herein), such payment shall instead be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable on this Note. Each payment made hereunder shall be credited first to interest then due and the remainder of such payment shall be credited to principal, and interest shall thereupon cease to accrue upon the principal so credited. Each of Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that before disposing of this Note or any part hereof the Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note will mutually agree on the amount of all principal payments previously made hereunder and of the date to which interest hereon has been paid; provided, however, that the failure to make a notation of any payment made on this Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder with respect to payments of principal or interest on this Note. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of California or any other day on which banking institutions located in such state are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Maturity Date to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any prepayment hereunder shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal amount of the Note being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

4. Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees that until this Note is paid in full it will:

(a) promptly provide to Lender financial and operational information with respect to Borrower or any of its subsidiaries as Lender may reasonably request;

(b) promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined herein) or an event, act or condition that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, provide Lender with a certificate of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or general partner(s) of Borrower specifying the nature thereof and Borrower’s proposed response thereto; and

(c) not merge or consolidate with any other Person (as defined herein), or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial part of its property or assets to any other Person.

Person” means any individual, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, firm, corporation, association, bank, trust or other enterprise, whether or not a legal entity, or any government or political subdivision or any agency, department or instrumentality thereof.

5. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:

(a) it is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to transact the business in which it is now engaged and to execute and deliver this Note;

(b) this Note constitutes the duly authorized, legally valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms;

(c) all consents and grants of approval required to have been granted by any Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Note have been granted;

(d) the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Note do not and will not violate any law, governmental rule or regulation, court order or agreement to which it is subject or by which its properties are bound or the charter documents or bylaws of Borrower;

(e) there is no action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective assets which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of Borrower to comply with its obligations hereunder; and

(f) the proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note shall be used by Borrower for the purpose of acquiring real property.

6. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) failure of Borrower to pay any Installment Payment or interest thereon due under this Note within five business days after the date due, or failure of Borrower to pay any principal, interest or other amount due under this Note when otherwise due, whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise; or

(b) failure of Borrower to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Note; or

(c) any representation or warranty made by Borrower to Lender in connection with this Note shall prove to have been false in any material respect when made; or

(g) an order for relief shall be entered with respect to Borrower or Borrower shall commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, or to the conversion of an involuntary case to a voluntary case, under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, trustee or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property, or Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Borrower shall be unable or fail, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the board of directors or general partner(s) of Borrower (or any committee thereof) shall adopt any resolution or otherwise authorize action to approve any of the foregoing; or

(h) Borrower shall challenge, or institute any proceedings to challenge, the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Note or any endorsement of this Note or any other obligation to Lender; or

(i) any provision of this Note or any provision hereof or thereof shall cease to be in full force or effect or shall be declared to be null or void or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part.

7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 6(g) or 6(h) above, and upon Borrower’s receipt of written notice of any Event of Default from Lender, the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, declare the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon, to be due and payable, and the principal amount of this Note, together with such interest, shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, further notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower). From and after any Event of Default until such time as the Event of Default has been cured, the Default Interest Rate shall be applicable.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telefacsimile communication) and mailed, telecopied or delivered by overnight courier as follows: if to Borrower, at its address specified opposite its signature below and, if to Lender, at Lender’s address in Section 2 above or, in each case, at such other address as shall be designated by Lender or Borrower. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied or delivered by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, sent by telecopier or delivered to the overnight courier, as the case may be.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities and related expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Note. In particular, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Note.

(c) No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any other holder of this Note to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Note and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall impair such right, power or privilege or operate as a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

NNN APARTMENT REIT ACQUIRES
RESIDENCES AT BRAEMAR IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

[photo omitted] Santa Ana, California, July 6, 2007 – NNN Apartment REIT, Inc. has acquired Residences at Braemar in Charlotte, North Carolina. The acquisition closed on June 29, 2007.

Residences at Braemar is a 160-unit multifamily community consisting of one two-story and seven three-story apartment buildings plus a community clubhouse on a 12 acre site. Completed in 2005, the property features a business center, 24-hour fitness center, swimming pool with spa, picnic and grilling areas, patios/balconies, and private wooded views. The property offers two bedroom/two bathroom and three bedroom/two bathroom units that range in size from 991 to 1,113 square feet. Residences at Braemar lies just two miles from the 1.2 million square foot Northlake Mall and within minutes of Interstate 77. The property is currently 99 percent leased.

“Charlotte is a high-growth, high-income market, and Residences at Braemar is a top-level multifamily asset,” explained Stanley J. Olander Jr., president and chief executive officer of NNN Apartment REIT. “The property is in the northern part of Charlotte, which is quickly developing, and will continue to experience tremendous growth with the completion of Interstate 485 later this year and the opening of a commuter rail line serving Charlotte’s northern corridor expected to be finished in 2012.”

According to information compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Charlotte is both the largest and fastest growing city in North Carolina by population, and has historically exhibited job and population growth at double the national average. Economy.com forecasts employment growth at approximately two percent per year and population growth at 40,000 per year through 2011. Additionally, the Palos Verdes, California-based Center for Real Estate Studies named Charlotte the top market for apartment investors in 2006.

NNN Apartment REIT offers a monthly distribution of 7.0 percent per annum, and is seeking to acquire properties in geographically-diverse markets throughout the United States that are poised for strong population and economic growth. As of June 29, 2007, NNN Apartment REIT has sold approximately 5.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $52.5 million through its initial public offering, which began in the third quarter of 2006.
