EX-10.7






Supplemental Carveout Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement




This Supplemental Indemnity Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 29th day of
June, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by NNN APARTMENT REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Carveout
Obligor”), whose address is c/o Triple Net Properties, LLC, 1551 N. Tustin Ave., Suite 300, Santa
Ana, California 92705, in favor of TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Iowa
corporation, and its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), whose address is c/o AEGON USA Realty
Advisors, Inc., 4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499-0001.



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:

hereof, the Carveout Obligor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees
the full and prompt payment to the Lender of the Indebtedness, to the extent, and only to
the extent, of the amount of the Indebtedness which has arisen as a result of the
Carveouts.




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. Any such deficiency or any
judgment therefore shall bear interest at the default rate specified in the Note from and
after the date of such trustee’s sale or the Lender’s or its affiliate’s acceptance of a
deed in lieu thereof until and including the date the deficiency or judgment is paid.



5. INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS




The Carveout Obligor agrees to 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. This obligation includes the protection of the Lender from, and the
defense of the Lender against, all Claims, and to the indemnification of the Lender from
and against all of out-of-pocket costs and expenses sustained by the Lender in enforcing
this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.



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.



7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




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. If
the Carveout Obligor fails to deliver the items required in this Section, the Lender may
engage an accounting firm to prepare the required items. The Carveout Obligor shall
cooperate fully with any investigative audit required to permit the accounting firm to
produce these items, and the Carveout Obligor shall pay the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with their preparation on demand. 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




A “Default” shall occur under this Agreement if any of the following events shall occur:




	 	(a)	 	The Carveout Obligor shall fail to pay any Carveout Obligation within five
(5) Business Days after Notice and demand by the Lender;






	 	(b)	 	The Carveout Obligor shall fail to perform, observe, or comply with any
covenant under this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after Notice from the Lender
demanding such performance, observance, or compliance; or






	 	(c)	 	The filing by 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 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
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 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 Subsection 9(c) 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 Carveout
Obligations (in addition to Borrower) 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 Carveout Obligations (including the executor of the estate of
any deceased Carveout Obligor) diligently and continuously pursue the replacement of
the Carveout Obligor, and succeed, within sixty (60) days of such an event, in causing
another person or entity to assume the Carveout 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.





10. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS




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. 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 which is not guaranteed under this Agreement.



11. UNSECURED OBLIGATION




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



12. WAIVERS




	 	12.1	 	Subrogation Rights Against Borrower






The Carveout Obligor waives (a) any right of reimbursement, subrogation,
exoneration, contribution, or indemnity from or by the Borrower with respect to the
satisfaction by the Carveout Obligor of any obligation of 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. In connection with the
waiver set forth in clause (a), the Carveout Obligor expressly waives (i) any and
all rights to subrogation to the Lender against the Borrower and (ii) any rights to
enforce any remedy which the Lender may have against the Borrower and any right of
participate in any collateral for the Loan. In addition, the Carveout Obligor
hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed
to the Carveout Obligor to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, and
covenants with the Lender not to demand or accept any payment of principal or
interest on any such indebtedness while any “Default” exists under the terms of any
of the Loan Documents.




	 	12.2	 	Marshaling of Assets






The Carveout Obligor waives any right to cause a marshaling of the Borrower’s
assets.




	 	12.3	 	Homestead Laws and Exemptions






The Carveout Obligor waives all rights and exemptions under homestead and similar
laws.




	 	12.4	 	Valuation of Collateral






The Carveout Obligor waives any right to assert that the amount paid for the
Property at a lawfully conducted judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale is less
than the value of the Property.




	 	12.5	 	Protest, Demand, Dishonor






The Carveout Obligor waives all rights of protest, demand, dishonor, presentment or
any other notices or demands which might otherwise be required by any statute or
rule of law now or hereafter in effect with respect to this Agreement or any of the
Carveout Obligations.




	 	12.6	 	Waiver of Statutory Rights






The Carveout Obligor waives any right the Carveout Obligor may have pursuant to
Section 26-7 of the North Carolina General Statutes and any other statutory rights
provided to sureties, endorsers or guarantors.




	 	12.7	 	Additional Waivers






The Carveout Obligor waives any defense based upon the Lender’s election of any
remedy, the Lender’s failure to disclose to the Carveout Obligor any information
concerning the financial condition of the Borrower or any other circumstances
bearing on the ability of the Borrower to pay and perform its obligations under the
Loan Documents, or the Lender’s failure to provide Notice of any act or omission by
the Borrower from which any Carveout Obligation may have arisen.



13. MISCELLANEOUS




	 	13.1	 	Independence of Obligations 






The Carveout Obligor shall be fully and personally liable for the Carveout
Obligations, and the Lender shall be entitled to maintain an independent action
against the Carveout Obligor regardless of whether Lender has commenced or
completed any action against the Borrower or the Property. The Carveout Obligor
disclaims any status as beneficiary of any obligation of the Lender to the Borrower
to provide notice of default under the Loan Documents. 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. Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Lender, the
Carveout Obligations shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or
otherwise affected by (a) the reconveyance of the interest created by the Deed of
Trust, (b) the consent by the Lender to any transfer of a direct or indirect
interest in the Property (whether through sale of the Property, transfers of
interests in the Borrower, or a change in the form of business organization of the
Borrower), or (c) any forbearance by the Lender to exercise any rights under the
Loan Documents, unless those rights are expressly waived or modified in a written
instrument duly executed by the Lender; provided, however, that any
written modification of the Loan that affects the amount of the Indebtedness may be
considered in ascertaining the amount of the Indebtedness for purposes of
determining the amount of any Carveout Obligation that arises under Section 6 of
this Agreement, absent fraud or material written misrepresentation in connection
with such a modification.




	 	13.2	 	Offsets and Defenses






No liability of the Carveout Obligor under this Agreement shall be released,
diminished, impaired, reduced or otherwise affected by any existing or future
offset, claim, or defense of the Carveout Obligor against the Lender.




	 	13.3	 	Notices






In order for any demand, consent, approval or other communication to be effective
under the terms of this Agreement, including any notice to the Carveout Obligor
relating to a trustee’s sale or deed in lieu thereof or in connection with any
action or claim made against the Carveout Obligor, “Notice” must be provided under
the terms of this Section. All Notices must be in writing. Notices may be (a)

	 	13.4	 	Entire Agreement and Modification






This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Carveout Obligor relating to
the subject matter hereof, and all prior guaranties relative hereto which are not
contained herein are hereby terminated. This Agreement may not be amended, revised,
waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument
or instruments executed by the Lender. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver,
discharge, release or termination that is not so documented shall not be effective
as to the Lender.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.




	 	13.6	 	Governing Law

Every right and remedy provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative of every
other right or remedy of the Lender whether herein or by law conferred and may be
enforced concurrently with any such right or remedy. No acceptance of performance
of any Carveout Obligation as to which the Carveout Obligor shall be in Default, or
waiver of particular or single performance of any obligation or observance of any
covenant, shall be construed as a waiver of the obligation or covenant or as a
waiver of any other Default then, theretofore or thereafter existing.




	 	13.8	 	Severability






In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in
any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this
Agreement, then, and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be
deemed to be null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other
provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
prejudiced or disturbed thereby.




	 	13.9	 	Settlements






Upon the Lender’s request, the Carveout Obligor agrees to participate in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner in any settlement between the Borrower and
the Lender which includes or may include a deed in lieu of trustee’s sale.




	 	13.10	 	Reference to Particulars






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.”




	 	13.11	 	Assignment






The Lender may assign its rights under this Agreement without Notice to any holder
of the Note and assignee of the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.
