FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, OXFORD HAMPTON PARTNERS LLC, a Georgia

MEZZANINE LENDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), in
accordance with the terms of that certain Mezzanine Loan Agreement dated as of
June 30, 2011, as from time to time in effect, among the undersigned and Lender
(the “Loan Agreement”) to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Maturity
Date, the principal sum of SIX MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($6,000,000.00), or
such amount as may be advanced by the payee hereof under the Loan Agreement,
together with such additional principal from time to time outstanding under the
Loan Agreement, with daily interest from the date hereof, computed as provided
in the Loan Agreement, on the principal amount hereof from time to time unpaid,
at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all
times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance
with the Loan Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late
charges at the rates provided in the Loan Agreement.  Interest shall be payable
on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, except that all accrued interest
shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the
prepayment in full hereof.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
 
Payments hereunder shall be made to Lender, c/o Preferred Apartment Communities,
Inc., One Overton Park, 3625 Cumberland Blvd., Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia

This Note is one of one or more Notes evidencing borrowings under and is
entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement.  The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in
part prior to the Maturity Date and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the
amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Loan Agreement, and may be
prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Loan
Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between
the undersigned Borrower and the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no
contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the
Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received
by the Lender exceeds the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If,
from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the
Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the
Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law;
and if from any circumstance the Lender shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an
amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower and to the
payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower, such excess shall be
refunded to the undersigned Borrower.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to
the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full
of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower (including the
period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for
such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law.  This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned
Borrower and the Lender.
