GUARANTY AGREEMENT


 


This Guaranty Agreement (this
"Guaranty"), dated as of January 9, 2015, is executed by CFP Residential, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, CFH
Maple Residential Investor, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, VF MultiFamily Holdings, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, VF Residential,
Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and Maple Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (each individually, a “Guarantor”
and, collectively, the "Guarantors"), in favor of BR Southside Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“BR Member”), and BR Bellaire Blvd, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).
BR Member and the Company are referred to in this Guaranty, each individually, as a "Creditor" and, collectively,
as the "Creditors."


 


1.          Background;
Defined Terms. The Company has been formed by Blaire House, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TCR"),
and BR Member. The Company is governed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015, for the Company
(the "JV Agreement"), to which TCR and BR Member are parties. As contemplated by the JV Agreement, the Company
has entered into (i) a Development Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015 (the “Development Agreement”), with
Maple Multi-Family Operations, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Developer”), which is an affiliate
of TCR, and (ii) an Owner- Contractor Construction Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015 (the “Construction Contract”),
with Maple Multi-Family TX Contractor, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (the “General Contractor”),
which is an affiliate of TCR. Each of the Guarantors is an affiliate of TCR. This Guaranty is required by the JV Agreement. Any
defined term used in the JV Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in the JV Agreement when used in this Guaranty as a defined
term unless a contrary meaning is provided in this Guaranty.


 


2.          Guaranty.
The Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee to the Creditors the following (collectively, the “Obligations”):
(i) the obligation of TCR to fund Initial Capital Contributions when and as required by Section 8.1 of the JV Agreement, (ii) the
obligation of TCR to reimburse BR Member for Pursuit Costs when and as required by Section 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 of the JV Agreement,
(iii) the obligation of TCR to fund Mandatory Developer Cost Overrun Loans and Cost Overrun Loans when and as required by Sections
8.4.2 and 8.4.5 of the JV Agreement, (iv) the obligation of Developer to fund Mandatory Developer Cost Overrun Loans when and as
required by the Development Agreement, (v) the obligations of the Developer and the General Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion
of the Project as required by the Development Agreement and the Construction Contract, respectively, (vi) the construction warranty
obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract and (vii) the indemnity obligations of the Developer under
the Development Agreement and the indemnity obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Guaranty, Guarantors’ responsibility for the General Contractor’s obligation to correct
non-conforming or defective work for the Project will terminate 12 months after Substantial Completion, other than for claims for
correction of non-conforming or defective work made during such 12-month period. Guarantors acknowledge that, except for this Guaranty,
BR Member would not have entered into the JV Agreement and the Company would not have entered into the Construction Contract or
the Development Agreement.


 


3.          Action
Against Less Than All Guarantors. Suit may be brought against one or more Guarantors without impairing the rights of Creditors
against any other Guarantor. Creditors may compromise with one or more Guarantors for less than all of the Obligations, and release
one or more Guarantors from liability to Creditors for all or part of the Obligations, in either case without impairing the right
of Creditors to demand performance from the other Guarantors.


 


4.          Other
Remedies. Creditors will not be required to pursue any other remedies before invoking the benefits of this Guaranty. Specifically,
Creditors will not be required, as a condition to pursuing one or more of Guarantors, to take any action against TCR, the Developer,
the General Contractor or any other person or entity that is liable for the Obligations or to commence or exhaust its remedies
against any security.

5.          Obligations
Not Impaired. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty will not be released or impaired on account of the following:


 


(1)         The
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TCR, the General Contractor
or the Developer, or any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings affecting TCR, the General
Contractor or the Developer or any of their respective assets.


 


(2)         The
addition of one or more new guarantors for the Obligations in addition to Guarantors, or the acceptance of any collateral for the
Obligations.


 


(3)         Any
impairment, modification, release or limitation of liability of, or stay of enforcement against, TCR, the General Contractor or
the Developer or any of their respective properties, or any modification, discharge or extension of the Obligations resulting from
the operation of any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal or state law.


 


(4)         Failure
of a Creditor to preserve the liability of any person on the Obligations or in bringing suit to enforce collection of the Obligations.


 


(5)         The
exercise or failure to exercise by a Creditor of any right conferred upon it in this Guaranty, the JV Agreement, the Construction
Contract or the Development Agreement.


 


(6)         TCR,
the General Contractor or the Developer is not liable because the act of creating the Obligations is ultra vires, or the persons
creating the Obligations acted in excess of their authority, or for any other similar reason the Obligations cannot be enforced
against TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer.


 


(7)         Any
payment by TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer is avoided under the United States Bankruptcy Code or other similar federal
or state law, or for any reason a Creditor is required to refund any such payment to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer
or to pay over to any other party all or part of any such payment.


 


(8)         Any
extension of time granted to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer in respect of any Obligation, any waiver, modification
or indulgence granted to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer under the JV Agreement, the Construction Contract or the
Development Agreement, or any modification of the JV Agreement, the Construction Contract or the Development Agreement.


 


(9)         The
release of any collateral for the Obligations, any failure to perfect or continue perfection of rights against any collateral for
the Obligations, any failure or delay in exercising against collateral for the Obligations, and any action against collateral for
the Obligations that impairs or destroys Guarantors' rights of subrogation.


 


6.          Guarantors'
Responsibility for Information. Guarantors hereby waive any duty on the part of Creditors to disclose to Guarantors any facts
a Creditor may now or hereafter know about TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer, regardless of whether any Creditor has
reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantors intend to assume or that such facts
are unknown to Guarantors. As between Creditors and Guarantors, Guarantors are responsible for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of TCR, the General Contractor and the Developer and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non- performance
of the Obligations.


 


7.          Modification
or Waiver. No modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, or consent to any departure by a Guarantor
from this Guaranty, will be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by Creditors. Any waiver, in all events, will be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

8.          Exercise
of Remedies. No delay or omission by a Creditor in exercising any power or right under this Guaranty will impair any such right
or power or be construed as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. Subject to the limitations contained in this
Guaranty, all rights and remedies of Creditors under this Guaranty are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy
which Creditors may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or document, and the exercise of one or more
rights or remedies will not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

case may be, by any of the following methods: (a) personal delivery with signed receipt; (b) nationally recognized overnight commercial
