September 12, 2017 MONOGRAM RESIDENTIAL **FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY** TRANSITION PROCESS: 1. When will I receive a formal offer of employment from Greystar? All offers to transitioning team members are expected to be distributed beginning August 21. Each team member will receive a personalized offer letter if he/she is able to answer YES to the following questions: a) b) Has the team member attainted the age of 18 by the time she/he would go to work for Greystar? If hired, can the team member submit proof of his or her legal right to work for any employer in the United States? Does the team member have reliable transportation in order to get to work on time? c) For each team member, the offer letter will include the team member’s new Greystar job title, rate of pay and work location. The team member’s new hire package will include a copy of all Greystar required documents. Will I have to go through background screening with Greystar? Yes. All team members who are offered and accept employment with Greystar will be required to satisfactorily complete the pre-employment screening process, which includes a criminal background check, drug test and I-9 verification. Our goal is to begin the background screening as part of the application process. Will I receive a new hire package in the mail? No. All onboarding Greystar team members will receive an email sent to their personal email address, with a link to their new hire package. By following the link, team members will review and electronically sign all required onboarding documents. Will my regional supervisor change? Upon transition, each property will be designated a Regional Property Manager, who will be responsible for overseeing the operations of each property. We are currently meeting with the Monogram Residential regional management team and are not sure at this time who will be the designated Regional Property Manager for each property. What is my title? Will my title stay the same or will it change? To facilitate a smooth transition and to encourage and promote a “one company” feel as soon as possible, all team members will adopt Greystar’s job titles. Your new title will be included on your offer letter. Will my work schedule change? The currently established office hours at all Monogram Residential communities will be evaluated by the designated Regional Property Manager. The work schedules for each on-site team member will be determined by the Community Manager in conjunction with the Regional Property Manager. However, for the most part, we do not anticipate any significant changes in work schedules. How will hourly team members’ time sheets be processed? Greystar uses ADP’s Time and Attendance system (eTIME) for recording daily hours worked for hourly, non-exempt team members, and for recording exception time (sick, vacation, etc.) for salaried, exempt team members. All Monogram Residential team members will be set up to use ADP to manage time and attendance within 48-72 hours after their start date. From start date until the eTIME system is available, hourly, non-exempt team members will capture their hours worked via manual time sheets. Once the system is available, 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 1 9/12/2017

hourly team members will be required to clock in and out via the property or company computer. Clocking in/out using cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices is not allowed. Managers will then enter missed punches in the eTIME system. A representative from Talent Management will provide training and instructions for all transitioning team members and managers on how to use the eTime system. 8. How does recruiting work? Who handles offer letters and new hire information? Greystar has a dedicated team of professional recruiters who will assist all supervisors with sourcing qualified candidates for all vacant positions. In addition, this team will also help facilitate the offer, background screening, new hire package and I-9 documentation processes. 9. What about other HR Policies? Immediately upon employment, all transitioning team members will be required to adhere to Greystar’s Policies & Procedures. A copy of Greystar’s Team Member Handbook and state addendums, if applicable, will be included in the team member’s new hire package. 10. Does Greystar have job posting board which lists available positions? Yes. The job board is available on the Talent Management page of the Greystar Team Member Portal and is identified as Greystar Jobs. BENEFITS – ALL TEAM MEMBERS: 1. Will my benefits change?
