Business Plan.


 


		(i)	The initial Annual Business Plan for the balance of calendar year 2015 approved by Owner and Manager

Business Plan for the operation of the Project for Owner's review and approval, no later than October 31 of the immediately preceding
year for the 2016 calendar year and October 15 of the immediately preceding year for the 2017 (and any subsequent) calendar year.
If final approval of a proposed Annual Business Plan by Owner has not been given by the beginning of the year to which such proposed
Annual Business Plan relates, Manager shall operate the Project on the basis of the previous year’s approved Annual Business
Plan, adjusted by (i) assuming that the revenue from the Project will increase to 103% of the revenues collected in the prior year,
(ii) assuming that the Controllable Expenses will increase to 103% of the amount of the actual Controllable Expenses incurred in
the prior year, (iii) increasing all Uncontrollable Expenses by any anticipated or known increases in such Uncontrollable Expenses,
and (iv) including any Emergency Expenditure (as defined in Section 5(k) below). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
if, prior to the commencement of calendar year 2016, the parties have not agreed on the budget for capital expenditures at the

year 2016; provided, however, that any incomplete capital projects commenced in calendar year 2015 and contemplated in the Initial
Business Plan shall be funded as provided in the Initial Business Plan until such capital projects are completed.



 




    	 	6	 



     

    

 


		(iii)	If Manager and Owner agreed to the Annual Business Plan for calendar year 2017 in accordance with
subsection (ii) above, then the Annual Business Plan for calendar year 2018 shall also be determined in accordance with the applicable
provisions of subsection (ii) above. If, however, Manager and Owner were unable to agree to the Annual Business Plan for calendar
year 2017, then Owner may establish the Annual Business Plan for calendar year 2018 without Manager’s consent.



 


		(iv)	For Annual Business Plans for calendar years 2019 and all subsequent calendar years, if applicable,
Manager shall have the right to prepare and propose an Annual Business Plan for such calendar year on or prior to October 15 of
the immediately preceding year (without obligation to do so), and Owner may, regardless of the information contained in Manager’s
proposal, establish the Annual Business Plan for the applicable calendar year, without Manager’s consent.



 


		(v)	Manager and Owner each acknowledge and agree that, in establishing the Annual Business Plans in
accordance with this Section 5(e), each shall be obligated to act reasonably and in good faith, taking into account past performance
of the Project, leasing trends and competitive properties within the market where the Project is located, the age of the Project
and the units at the time such Annual Business Plan is established, and such other factors as reasonably prudent owners and managers
of multifamily assets substantially similar to the Project would take into account in order to maximize revenue therefrom.



 




    	 	7	 



     

    

 


		(vi)	No material deviations (as defined herein) from any item in an Annual Business Plan approved in
accordance with the terms herein shall be made by Manager without the prior approval of the “Management Committee”
(as defined in the Operating Agreement), to the extent required by the Operating Agreement. The Manager shall provide quarterly
updates to the Annual Business Plan, solely for informational purposes. Each Annual Business Plan shall include the information
set forth in Exhibit “E”. Owner (and its sole member) will consider the proposed Annual Business Plan in accordance
with the terms of the Operating Agreement and will consult with Manager prior to the commencement of the forthcoming calendar year
in order to agree on an Annual Business Plan for such calendar year. In no event shall Owner have the right to modify the Annual
Business Plan to reduce the Management Fee or Reimbursable Expenses otherwise due pursuant to Section 4. In no event shall
Manager be deemed in default under this Agreement if such changes by Owner to the Annual Business Plan cause Manager to have insufficient
funds to perform its obligations hereunder. Manager agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs
of maintaining and operating the Project shall not exceed the amount reasonably necessary and, in any event, will not exceed either
the Annual Business Plan either in total amount or in any one accounting category. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Manager
shall secure Owner's prior written approval for any expenditure that will result in an excess of the annual budgeted amount set
forth in the Annual Business Plan in any one accounting category by the lesser of ten percent (10%) or $10,000 or $25,000 in the
aggregate for all categories (a “material deviation”). Manager shall promptly advise and inform the Owner of
any transaction, notice, event or proposal directly relating to the management and operation of the Project which does or is likely
to significantly affect, either adversely or favorably, the Project, other assets of the Owner or cause a material deviation from
the Annual Business Plan. Nothing contained herein shall in any way diminish the obligations or duties of Manager hereunder.



 


(f)                 Leasing,
Collection of Rents, Etc.


 


(i)      Manager
shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the standard of care set forth herein to lease apartment units in accordance
with all Applicable Laws, to retain residents and to maximize Rental Income. Manager shall not enter into any Lease which has a
term less than six (6) months or greater than fifteen (15) months, except as approved by Owner or as may be expressly permitted
by any loan documents applicable to the Project entered into by Owner from time to time during the term hereof. Manager shall comply
in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions applicable to the leasing of the Project set forth in any Loan Documents.


 


(ii)     Manager
shall sign apartment leases (“Leases”) on behalf of Owner in its capacity as property manager hereunder. Manager
shall only sign Leases in the form of lease attached hereto as Exhibit “D”.


 


(iii)    Manager shall collect rents, security deposits and other charges payable by Tenants in accordance with the Leases, and shall
collect Monthly Gross Receipts due Owner with respect to the Project from all other sources, and shall deposit all such

therewith, Manager may, at Owner's expense, as limited by the provisions of Section 5(l) of this Agreement, consult and
retain legal counsel.


 


(vi)    Manager
shall, at Owner’s written request, on the twenty-first (21st) day of each month, pay Owner an amount equal to

Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees owed to Manager pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.


 


(vii)   The
responsibilities and services included in this Section 5 as part of Manager's duties shall not entitle Manager to any additional
compensation over and above the fees set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section
4, Manager shall not be entitled to any compensation based upon any Project financing or sale of the Project, unless Manager
is engaged pursuant to a separate agreement with Owner to provide brokerage services in connection therewith, in which case Manager's
right to compensation for Project financing or sale shall be based upon such separate agreement.


 


(g)                Repair,
Maintenance and Service.


 


(i)      Manager
shall maintain the Project in good repair and condition, consistent with the standard of care set forth herein and in accordance
with the Annual Business Plan.

execute contracts for water, sanitary sewer, electricity, gas, internet service, telephone, trash removal, television, vermin or
pest extermination and any other services which are necessary to properly maintain the Project, except for utility services to
individual apartment units, which shall be each Tenants’ respective responsibility to the extent provided in the applicable
Leases. Any such contracts shall not, unless the Owner otherwise approves the terms thereof, materially deviate from the terms
of the then existing approved Annual Business Plan of the Project. Manager shall, in Owner's name and at Owner's expense, out of
available cash flow, hire and discharge independent contractors for the repair and maintenance of the Project. Other than Leases,
which Manager is authorized to execute hereunder, Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner, enter into
any contract in the name of Owner which may not be terminated without payment of penalty or premium with not more than thirty (30)

of and/or as agent for Owner) in accordance with the standard of care established by this Agreement and as Manager reasonably believes
are necessary to perform Manager’s obligations hereunder. Manager shall act at arms’ length with all contractors and

the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as determined by Manager in its professional discretion and subject
to the Annual Business Plan. Manager shall prepare, execute and file all forms, reports and returns, as applicable, but only to
the extent expressly required by Applicable Laws, and Manager shall be permitted to rely on the advice of counsel and other experts
in making the determination of what is required. Manager is authorized to screen, test, investigate, hire, supervise, discharge,
and pay all personnel necessary in Manager’s reasonable discretion to maintain and operate the Project. Owner shall reimburse
Manager for all employee related expenses, liabilities, and administrative burden (including, without limitation, costs for all

testing and screening, provided, however, that all of the foregoing costs shall be subject to the then effective Annual Business
Plan or otherwise permitted or approved by Owner pursuant to this Agreement. Owner expressly acknowledges and agrees that Manager
may use employees normally assigned to other work centers and/or part-time employees to properly staff the Project, in which case
wages and related expenses shall be reimbursed on a pro rata basis for the time actually spent for the Project (rather than being
allocated based on the gross revenues of each property); provided, however, Owner shall not pay or reimburse Manager for all or
any part of Manager's general overhead expenses, including salaries and payroll expenses of personnel of Manager, except as otherwise
set forth herein.


 


(i)           Books

as may be required by applicable law) or until this Agreement terminates and such items are delivered to Owner at Owner’s
request and expense. All books, correspondence and data pertaining to the leasing, management and operation of the Project shall,
at all times, be safely preserved. Such books, correspondence and data shall be available to Owner at all reasonable times, upon
not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ advance notice, for Owner’s inspection thereof, and shall, upon the termination
of this Agreement be delivered to Owner in their entirety and upon request of Owner be delivered to Owner within thirty (30) days
of such request. Manager shall maintain files of all original documents relating to Leases, vendors and all other business of the
Project in an orderly fashion at the Project, which files shall be the property of Owner and shall at all times be open to Owner's
inspection and available for copying at Owner's request, cost and expense. Manager shall comply with the Capitalization and Expense
Policy of Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C., a copy of the current form of which has been provided to Manager.

Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager shall base such statements and reports on information current as of the close of business
on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month, including applicable accruals, with respect to which such statements or
reports apply. In addition, an annual audit report shall be prepared at Owner's expense, showing a balance sheet and an income
and expense statement, all in reasonable detail and certified by an independent certified public accountant approved by Owner in
its sole discretion. Within five (5) days after the end of each calendar quarter of each year, Manager shall cause to be furnished
to BR DFW Portfolio JV Member, LLC (“Bluerock”) such information as reasonably requested in writing by Bluerock as
is necessary for any reporting requirements of Bluerock or any direct or indirect members of Bluerock or for any reporting requirements
of any REIT Member (as defined in the Operating Agreement) (whether a direct or indirect owner) to determine its qualification
as a real estate investment trust and its compliance with REIT Requirements (as defined in the Operating Agreement) as shall be
reasonably requested by Bluerock. Further, the Manager shall cooperate in a reasonable manner at the request of Owner and any direct
or indirect member of Owner to work in good faith with any designated accountants or auditors of such party or its Affiliates so
that such party or its Affiliate is able to comply with its public reporting, attestation, certification and other requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to such entity, and to work in good faith with the designated
accountants or auditors of such party or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith, including for purposes of testing internal
controls and procedures of such party or its Affiliates. Owner may request, and Manager shall provide within a commercially reasonable
period after such request, assistance with draw requests, ad hoc reports and special accounting projects at a reasonable cost to
be pre-approved by Owner.  Manager shall also prepare and provide to Owner such reports and information as reasonably required
by Owner to prepare the reports and tax returns required under (i) its limited liability company operating agreement and (ii) the
Loan Documents. Except as noted above, in Section 4(b) or Exhibit F of this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred

Expenditures”), and Manager is unable to communicate promptly with Owner, then Manager may order, contract for and pay
for such Emergency Expenditures not to exceed $20,000, with the cost thereof being included as a Reimbursable Expense for the purposes
of the Agreement, and Manager shall promptly thereafter notify Owner of any such expenses and the nature of the Emergency.

the standard of care established hereby and in accordance with any limitations set forth in any loan documents evidencing or securing
any financing secured by the Project. If (A) there is a violation of Applicable Laws or a violation of the terms of any applicable
loan documents regarding the storage, release and disposal of such hazardous materials, or toxic substances, or (B) Manager reasonably
believes that the storage, release or disposal of any hazardous material, petroleum product, or toxic substances, could cause liability

(n)     Insufficient
Cash Flow. In the event Manager, at its sole option,
elects to advance funds for Owner’s account or Owner is indebted to Manager for services or otherwise arising out of, and
incurred in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement, all monies advanced by Manager or otherwise past-due shall thereafter
be due and payable by Owner upon demand and shall bear interest at the prime rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal, plus
one percent, per annum, computed on monthly debit balances on Owner’s account. At the election of Manager, and upon prior
written notice to Owner, Manager may satisfy any permitted advances made by Manager, together with the interest due thereon, from
the Monthly Gross Receipts of the Project. In the event that the Depository Accounts for the Project do not have sufficient funds
to cover the monetary obligations of Manager or the Project pursuant to this Agreement, Manager shall give Owner prompt written
notice with respect to such shortfall and if Owner has not promptly provided funds, then Manager will have no duty to perform
any such obligations until Owner provides sufficient funding, unless Manager so elects in its sole discretion pursuant to this
Section 5(n), and Manager shall not be in default under this Agreement for failure to perform any obligation hereunder
as a result of such lack of funds. If Manager suspects that the cash flow from the Project will not, at any time, be sufficient
to cover any Project related expenses, Manager shall promptly notify Owner, and Manager and Owner shall mutually determine the
order in which the obligations of the Project will be satisfied; provided, however, that Manager and Owner agree that available
cash flow will in any event first be applied to Uncontrollable Expenses that are then due and payable.
