CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

This Contribution Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made as of the Effective Date (defined below), by and among BLUEROCK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY
+ INCOME FUND, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOIF I”), BLUEROCK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY + INCOME FUND
II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOIF II”) (collectively, SOIF I and SOIF II shall be referred
to herein as the “SOIF Parties” or the “Contributors,” and individually, each is a “Contributor”)
and BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL GROWTH REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”).

 

RECITALS

 

A. SOIF I is a co-manager
of, and the owner and holder of a 10% limited liability company interest in, BR Waterford JV Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“BR Waterford JV Member”). SOIF II is a co-manager of, and the owner of a 90% limited liability company
interest in BR Waterford JV Member.

 

B. BR Waterford JV
Member is the owner and holder of a 60% limited liability company interest in Bell BR Waterford Crossing JV, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Waterford Titleholder”), which is the fee simple owner and holder of the Waterford Property
(as defined in Appendix 1.2).

 

C. Waterford Titleholder
is co-managed by BR Waterford JV Member (chosen by itself) and Bell Partners, Inc. (“Property Manager”) (chosen
by Bell HNW Nashville Portfolio, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Bell”), which owns a 40%
interest in Waterford Titleholder and which is unrelated to SOIF I, SOIF II and BR Waterford JV Member (Property Manager and Bell
are collectively referred to as the “Bell Entities”).

 

D. The Waterford Property
is managed on a day-to-day basis by Property Manager, an affiliate of Bell.

 

E. REIT is the parent
and general partner of Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership”)
and intends to conduct an underwritten public offering of its shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (such underwritten public offering, the “IPO”).

 

F. Subject to, inter
alia, the completion of the IPO, SOIF I desires to contribute, and REIT desires to accept the contribution from SOIF I, of all
of SOIF I’s right, title and interest in its 10% limited liability company interest in the BR Waterford JV Member free and
clear of Encumbrances (the “SOIF I Waterford Interest”), and SOIF II desires to contribute, and REIT desires
to accept the contribution from SOIF II, of all of SOIF II’s right, title and interest in its 90% limited liability company
interest in the BR Waterford JV Member free and clear of Encumbrances (the “SOIF II Waterford Interest”) (collectively,
the SOIF I Waterford Interest and the SOIF II Waterford Interest shall be referred to herein as the “Waterford Interests”),
and the parties desire to amend the management structure of BR Waterford JV Member in connection therewith, after which SOIF I
and SOIF II shall have no further right, title or interest in BR Waterford JV Member or its subsidiaries.

 

G. Through the aforesaid
contributions, and in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, REIT intends to acquire the Waterford Interests
by directing the SOIF Parties to convey the Waterford Interests to the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiary, BRG
Waterford, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BRG Waterford”), in consideration for which REIT shall
pay cash consideration to SOIF I for the SOIF I Waterford Interest, and shall issue certain Class “A” unregistered
shares of its common stock (collectively, the “REIT Shares”) to SOIF II for the SOIF II Waterford Interest,
as provided herein. In consideration of REIT directing Contributors to convey the Waterford Interests to BRG Waterford, the Operating
Partnership shall issue to Bluerock REIT Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of REIT,
a number of units of limited partnership interest equal to the number of REIT Shares and cash paid for the Waterford Interests.

NOW, THEREFORE, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Contributors and REIT agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1. SCHEDULE; DEFINITIONS; CONSIDERATION

 

1.1 Schedule.
Schedule 1.1 and the following basic terms are made a part of this Agreement:

 

	Consideration:	 	
        For the Waterford Interests, REIT
shall deliver to SOIF I and SOIF II the consideration more fully set forth in Section 1.3, subject to adjustment for prorations
and other adjustments as elsewhere provided herein.

	 	 	 
	Effective Date:	 	March 10, 2014
	 	 	 
	Due Diligence Period:	 	The period ending
    at 5:30 p.m. (New York, NY time) on March 21, 2014. 
	 	 	 
	Closing Date:	 	The date of the closing of the IPO or such other post-IPO date which has been mutually agreed upon by the REIT, SOIF I and SOIF II (collectively, the “Parties,” individually each a “Party”), subject to an outside closing date of June 30, 2014, unless extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.
	 	 	 
	Notice Addresses:	 	See Section 9.8 herein.

 

1.2 Definitions.
Certain terms, capitalized but not defined in the body of this Agreement or otherwise designated in Section 1.1 hereof,
shall have the meanings ascribed to them on Appendix 1.2 attached hereto.

 

1.3 Consideration.
In accordance with the Recitals set forth above, which Recitals are incorporated into this Agreement and made a part hereof, the
Contributors agree to contribute, and the REIT agrees to accept, the Waterford Interests for the consideration set forth below
(the “Consideration”) and on the terms and conditions otherwise contained in this Agreement.

 

(a)          At
Closing, provided all conditions precedent set forth herein have been satisfied, including, but not limited to the Transaction
Conditions, the SOIF Parties shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to REIT, absolutely and unconditionally, and
free and clear of all Liens except as otherwise set forth herein, all of their respective rights, title and interests in the Waterford
Interests. The contribution and assumption of the Waterford Interests shall be evidenced by the Assignment of Interests (as hereinafter
defined).

 

(b)          REIT
shall pay a sum equal to $582,000 (minus the amount payable in cash to Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C. or an affiliate pursuant to
Section 5.4 hereof, which shall be paid directly to such entity), in U.S. currency, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, to SOIF I into an account to be designated in writing by SOIF I prior to Closing (the “SOIF I Consideration”).

 

(c)          REIT
agrees to deliver to SOIF II, a number of REIT Shares (the “SOIF II Consideration”) determined using the following
formula:

 

The number of REIT
Shares shall equal the Appraised Equity Value divided by the Share Price, as rounded up to the nearest whole number, as decreased
by the number of shares payable to Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C. or an affiliate pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, which shares
shall be directly paid to such entity.

 

For purposes of the
aforementioned formula, “Appraised Equity Value” means the proportionate value of SOIF II’s indirect equity
ownership interest in the Waterford Property, where the total equity of the Waterford Property shall be determined by subtracting
the outstanding principal balance of all debt on the Property from the appraised value of the Waterford Property as established
by a third party appraiser within six (6) months of the Closing Date.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

For purposes of the
aforementioned formula, “Share Price” means the final per share price of Class “A” stock offered
to the public in the IPO.

 

(d)          At
Closing, the REIT shall confer upon SOIF II the benefits of its Registration Rights Agreement, dated on or before the Closing Date
(including any supplement thereto into which the REIT and SOIF II shall enter at Closing, the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
a copy of which shall be delivered to SOIF II promptly after the execution hereof and shall be thereafter negotiated between the
REIT and SOIF II in good faith.

 

1.4         Securities
Law Matters and Contributors’ Tax Acknowledgment.

 

(a)          Securities
Law Matters. In acquiring the REIT Shares and engaging in this transaction, SOIF II is not relying upon any representations
made to it by the REIT, or any of the partners, officers, employees, affiliates or agents of the REIT, Operating Partnership or
BRG Waterford, except with respect to any representations set forth in this Agreement (as such representations may be modified
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). SOIF II is aware of the risks involved in investing in the REIT Shares. SOIF II
has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the REIT or a person or persons authorized to act on its
behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and the financial condition, affairs, and business of the REIT.
SOIF II confirms that all documents, records, and information pertaining to its investment in the REIT that have been requested
by it, including a complete copy of the organizational documents of the REIT, have been made available or delivered to it prior
to the date hereof. SOIF II represents and warrants that it has reviewed such documents and information as SOIF II has deemed appropriate,
and made its own investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of the REIT.

 

SOIF II understands
that the REIT Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or any state securities acts and are instead being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from such registration requirements.
The REIT Shares are being acquired by SOIF II solely for its own account, for investment, and are not being acquired with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution, subdivision, or fractionalization thereof, in violation of such laws, and
SOIF II does not have any present intention to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with respect to any
such resale. SOIF II understands that the REIT’s Charter Documents will impose certain restrictions with respect to the transfer
of the REIT Shares and, if the REIT elects to issue stock certificates for the REIT Shares, the certificates will contain, in addition
to any other legend required to be set forth on the certificate by the REIT’s Charter Documents, the following legend reflecting
the requirement that the REIT Shares cannot be resold without registration under such laws or the availability of an exemption
from such registration:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED
HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL
GROWTH REIT, INC., AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL GROWTH REIT, INC. TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED
SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS.

 

SOIF II is an “accredited
investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. SOIF II acknowledges that the acquisition
of the SOIF II Waterford Interest by the REIT or its affiliates is in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth herein.

 

(b)          Contributors’
Tax Acknowledgment. Each Contributor represents and warrants that it has obtained from its own counsel advice regarding the
tax consequences of (i) the transfer of Contributor’s Waterford Interests to the REIT, and its receipt of the Consideration
as consideration therefor, (ii) in the case of SOIF II, its receipt of the allocated REIT Shares; and (iii) any other transaction
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Contributor acknowledges and understands that the contribution transactions contemplated by
this Agreement will be treated as a taxable sale of each Contributor’s respective Waterford Interests in exchange for the
respective Consideration owing to each such Contributor. Each Contributor further represents and warrants that it has not relied
on the REIT, the Operating Partnership, any other Contributor or any such party’s respective affiliates, representatives,
counsel or other advisors and their respective representatives for such tax advice.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

1.5 Descriptive
Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,”
“hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The
singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context
otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words
“without limitation.”

 

ARTICLE 2. INSPECTION

 

2.1 Due Diligence;
Inspection. REIT shall have the Due Diligence Period in which to examine and inspect the Waterford Interests, BR Waterford
JV Member, Waterford Titleholder (collectively, BR Waterford JV Member and Waterford Titleholder shall be referred to herein as
the “Companies”) and the Property to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Waterford Interests, the
Companies and the Property are satisfactory to the REIT. The REIT and other parties designated by it (collectively, “REIT’s
Representatives”) shall have reasonable access to all books and records for the Property and the Companies that are in
Contributors’ possession or control for the purpose of conducting due diligence and shall, subject to the rights of tenants
under Leases, be able to conduct and complete such surveys, inspections and tests (including reasonable intrusive inspection and
sampling), as may be required by the REIT, subject to the limitations set forth herein. In the course of its investigations, but
subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, the REIT may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, municipal,
local and other government representatives.

 

If any inspection or
test damages the Property, REIT will promptly restore at its sole expense the Property to its condition immediately prior to any
such inspection or test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, REIT shall not conduct any soil borings, core samples or other invasive
testing without the prior written consent of Contributors (and also without the prior written consent of the Bell Entities to the
extent Contributors determine such consent must be obtained), which consent by Contributors will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned and which shall be deemed given by Contributors unless the Contributors provide written notice of objection
to REIT, specifying the basis for such objection, within three (3) days after submission by REIT of a written request for such
testing. REIT shall indemnify, defend and hold Contributors, Waterford Titleholder and the Bell Entities harmless from any liens
arising out of its inspections as well as any claims asserted by third parties against Contributors, Waterford Titleholder or the
Bell Entities (other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Contributors, Waterford Titleholder
or the Bell Entities or any of their respective Affiliates (other than REIT, its Subsidiaries and its Advisor) to recover for personal
injury or property damage as a result of REIT’s or REIT’s Representatives’ entry onto the Property; provided,
however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Contributors, Waterford Titleholder or the Bell Entities from any pre-existing
liabilities for matters merely discovered by REIT (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as REIT’s actions do
not intentionally exacerbate such pre-existing liability. REIT shall procure and continue in force from and after the date REIT
and REIT’s Representatives first enter the Property, and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, liability insurance
of not less than $1,000,000. Prior to entering the Property, REIT shall provide to Contributors a certificate of insurance evidencing
such coverage and naming Waterford Titleholder and Property Manager as additional insured parties. REIT’s obligations under
this Section 2.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

2.2 Contributors’
Delivery of Specified Documents. Upon REIT’s written request, Contributors or their agents shall provide, subject
to the provisions of Section 9.6, the REIT with access to a virtual data room containing any reasonable information sought
by REIT (and not otherwise already in REIT’s possession) with respect to the Waterford Interests, the Companies and the Property.
Information concerning the Property shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Property Information”,
and information concerning the Waterford Interests and the Companies shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Company
Information”. During the pendency of this Agreement, (i) Contributors shall post in the virtual data room any document
described above as and when it comes into Contributors’ possession or control or is produced by Contributors, after the initial
delivery of the Property Information; and (ii) Contributors shall endeavor to keep REIT reasonably informed as to the material
operation of the Property, and at the written request of the REIT, shall post in such virtual data room copies of leasing status
reports, operating statements and other management reports with respect to the Property prepared in the ordinary course of business.
Without limiting the foregoing, Contributors shall make all other documents, files and information requested by REIT (and not otherwise
already in REIT’s possession) concerning the Property and the Companies in the possession or control of Contributors available
for REIT’s inspection in such virtual data room or such other location as the parties may reasonably agree.

 

2.3 Title and
Survey. REIT, at its own expense, may, during the Due Diligence Period, order (i) any owner lien searches (or other title
updates) with respect to the Property, (ii) such surveys or updates to existing surveys with respect to the Property as it desires
and (iii) such UCC, judgment, and tax lien searches with respect to Contributors, the Companies and the Property as it desires.
Contributors shall cooperate and shall cause other parties to cooperate with REIT’s inspections under this Section.

 

2.4 Objection
Notice. If REIT is not satisfied in its sole discretion with any of its inspections, reviews or with any other matter concerning
the Property or the Companies, REIT may, either (i) on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, terminate this Agreement
by notice to the Contributors, in which event no party shall have further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of certain
expenses pursuant to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1,
or (ii) on or prior to March 18, 2014, raise certain objections by providing notice to Contributors in writing (the “Objection
Notice”), which Objection Notice may, at REIT’s option, specify in reasonable detail which matters (collectively,
the “Objections”) REIT does not find satisfactory with respect to the Property and the Companies.

 

If REIT timely provides
an Objection Notice, then the applicable Contributor shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice to
notify REIT in writing as to whether it intends to remove, or cause to be corrected to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction prior
to Closing, any of such Objections, and removal or correction of any such Objections which the applicable Contributor elects to
remove or correct (or is obligated to remove or correct hereunder) shall be a condition to REIT’s obligation to close (collectively,
“Mandatory Cure Items”). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Contributors shall not have any obligation
to remove or correct any Objections other than voluntary Encumbrances of the Waterford Interests or the Property (but not including
liens and security interests securing the Loans), or any other Objections which any Contributor elects to cure as provided above,
all of which shall be removed by such Contributor on or before Closing. The Closing Date may be extended if needed to allow sufficient
time for Contributors to remove or cure such Mandatory Cure Items. The foregoing notwithstanding, Contributors shall be required
to (i) remove any mechanic’s or material liens encumbering the Property or (ii) cause such liens to be bonded over or secured
to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction.

 

If Contributors do
not elect in writing within such two (2) Business Day period to remove or correct any Objection to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction,
then REIT (i) shall elect by written notice to Contributors, on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate
this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of certain expenses pursuant
to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1, or (ii) shall accept
the Waterford Interests and the Property subject to any Objections (other than Mandatory Cure Items), and proceed to close as to
all of the Waterford Interests, with the further right to deduct from the Consideration amounts required to remove any Mandatory
Cure Items that are liens of an ascertainable amount and that are not removed by Contributors on or before Closing.

 

If this Agreement is
not terminated on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then REIT shall proceed to close under this Agreement
subject only to the satisfaction of REIT’s closing conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3. OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

 

3.1 Ongoing Operations.
From the Effective Date through the Closing Date:

 

(a) Operation of
Property. Contributors shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Waterford Titleholder to maintain the Property in
substantially its current condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, natural deterioration and obsolescence between the Effective
Date and the Closing Date, and in material compliance with all applicable Laws. Except as necessary to comply with the preceding
sentence or to make the Real Property suitable for use by new tenants, Contributors shall not make or permit any material alterations
to the Property or any portion thereof without REIT’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Contributors will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each Company to perform its material obligations under
all Leases, Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect it or the Property or the Waterford Interests. Contributors
will not remove or permit the removal of any Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and
repair and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal. Contributors and their
respective employees, agents or contractors, shall not knowingly or intentionally take or permit to be taken any action that causes
such Contributor’s representations or warranties hereunder to become materially untrue or that causes one or more of REIT’s
conditions to Closing to be unsatisfied or knowingly or intentionally fail to take any action within its actual control that is
required to cause such Contributor’s representations and warranties hereunder to be true in all material respects.

 

(b) New Contracts
and Exclusivity. Contributors shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of Companies to, (i)
without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s reasonable discretion through to the expiration
of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of the Due Diligence Period), amend, grant concessions
or waivers regarding or under, or enter into any material contract or other agreement that will be an obligation affecting any
of the Companies or the Property after Closing or binding on any of the Companies after Closing, except Leases or Service Contracts
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices (and consistent with then-current concessions and parameters)
and contracts terminable by any of the Companies without penalty on no later than 60 days’ notice or (ii) list the Waterford
Interests or the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit, negotiate or accept any offers to sell all or any part of the Waterford
Interests or the Property or any interest therein or in any of the Subsidiaries. If REIT fails to respond to a request of any Contributor
for consent required by Section 3.1(b)(i) within five (5) days after REIT’s receipt of such Contributor’s written
request and all information reasonably required in order to make an informed decision, REIT shall (A) prior to the expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have consented to Contributor taking such proposed action and (B) after the expiration of
the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have objected to such proposed action.

 

(c) Maintenance
of Permits and Insurance. Contributors shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each of the Companies to maintain
in existence all licenses, permits and approvals necessary or reasonably appropriate to the ownership, operation or improvement
of their own legal status and the Property as well as all insurance currently affecting the Property.

 

(d) Leasing.
Contributors shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally, cause or permit Waterford Titleholder or BR Waterford JV Member
to enter into any Leases, or grant any lease concessions, incentives or waivers, except in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practices.

 

(e) Loan Documents.
Contributors will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Companies to timely comply with all of the terms and conditions
of the Loan Documents. Except for any amendments expressly contemplated hereby or unless necessary to avoid or cure any default
thereunder or unless required by any Lender, Contributors shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of the Companies
to amend or terminate the Loan Documents without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s reasonable
discretion prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of the Due Diligence
Period).

 

(f) Property Encumbrances.
Except for any liens and security interests securing the Loans or any liens resulting from REIT’s (or REIT’s Representatives’)
activities at or on the Property pursuant to this Agreement, Contributors shall not create or acquiesce to the creation of, and
shall not knowingly or intentionally permit Waterford Titleholder to create or acquiesce to the creation of, any Encumbrances to
title with respect to the Property other than the Existing Title Exceptions with respect to the Property, without in each case

(g) Ownership Interests.
Contributors shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally permit the Companies to, sell, assign, convey, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise Encumber any membership or partnership interest in any of the Companies, other than the assignment of
the Waterford Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Any such action taken by any of the Bell Entities shall be outside of the scope
of this Agreement.

 

3.2 Damage.
Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Contributors. Contributors shall promptly give REIT written
notice of any damage to the Property, describing such damage, stating whether such damage and loss of rents is covered by insurance
and the estimated cost of repairing such damage. In the event of any “Material Damage” (described below) to the Property,
REIT may, at its option, by written notice to Contributors given within three (3) Business Days after Contributors have provided
the above described notice (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give REIT the full three (3) Business Day period
to make its election) to: (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement and receive a credit at Closing for
Contributors’ applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under any insurance policies. If REIT fails to timely
make such election, REIT shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If the Property is not Materially Damaged,
then (x) REIT shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and (y) at Closing, REIT shall receive a credit for Contributors’
applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under said insurance policies and any uninsured loss. “Material
Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means, with respect to the Property, damage which in REIT’s
and Contributors’ reasonable estimation (based on a third party report, prepared by a qualified third party, that is mutually
acceptable to REIT and Contributors, each acting in its reasonable discretion) exceeds $100,000 to repair. Such third party report
shall not be required where it is evident that such damage will not exceed $100,000 to repair.

 

3.3 Condemnation.
In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are threatened in writing or instituted against any portion of the Property by any
Governmental Authority having the power of eminent domain, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

 

3.4 Certain Tax
Matters.

 

(a)          Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Contributors shall give, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 below, REIT and
REIT’s Representatives full access at their own expense to all books, records and tax returns of or relating to the Waterford
Interests, whether in possession of Contributors or any of Affiliates or any third-party professional advisor or representative
of Contributors, in order that REIT may have full opportunity to make such investigations as they shall desire to make of the Waterford
Interests for tax purposes. Contributors shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all of their respective third-party
advisors and representatives, including without limitation accountants and attorneys, to fully cooperate and be available to REIT
(at its sole expense) in connection with such investigation.

 

(b)          The
parties will account for the transactions contemplated hereby for all purposes (including GAAP and tax accounting) as a contribution
by the Contributors of their membership interests in BR Waterford JV Member to the REIT in a taxable transaction for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

REIT and Contributors agree to use customary commercially reasonable practices to determine all prorations and adjustments to be
made between REIT and Contributors at Closing. Contributors shall be entitled to all income, and be liable for all expenses, associated

associated with the Waterford Interests arising on or after the Closing.

 

5.2 Post-Closing

execute any required city, county and state Transfer Tax or other declarations.

 

5.4 Sales Commissions;
Disposition Fee. Contributors and REIT represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any real estate
broker or sales person in connection with this transaction. In the event of any claim for broker’s or finder’s fees
or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from and against any such claim based upon any actual

each acknowledge that Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C. (for SOIF I)(“Bluerock”), BR SOIF II Manager, LLC (for SOIF
II) or other Bluerock affiliate(s) are entitled to and shall receive at Closing an aggregate disposition fee of $375,480 in connection
with the sale of the Waterford Interests, of which $53,640 shall be payable in cash (as the disposition fee owed by SOIF I) and
deducted from the amount payable by REIT to SOIF I pursuant to Section 1.3(b) hereof, and $321,840 shall be payable in the form
of shares of the REIT’s Class A common stock (as the disposition fee owed by SOIF II), which shares would otherwise be issued
to SOIF II pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, so long as such issuance would not result in a violation of the stock ownership
limits set forth in REIT’s Charter Documents; if such violation was to occur, then the same would be payable in cash. The
number of shares of Class A common stock to be tendered to BR SOIF II Manager, LLC or other Bluerock affiliate hereunder shall
be calculated by dividing the amount of the SOIF II disposition fee by the Share Price (the “Disposition Fee Shares”).
The Disposition Fee Shares shall be subject to the Lock-up Agreement. Additionally, Contributors and REIT each acknowledge that,
in connection with the acquisition of the Waterford Interests, Bluerock Multifamily Advisor, LLC is entitled to and shall receive
at Closing an acquisition fee of $447,000, which shall be payable in the form of the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive
plan units (the “LTIP Units”), with the number of LTIP Units to be calculated by dividing the amount of such
acquisition fee by the Share Price. Contributors shall bear no responsibility for payment of such stated acquisition fee. The LTIP

exceeds such threshold, SOIF II shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall SOIF II’s aggregate
liability for claims under Section 8.3 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the value of the SOIF II Consideration;
provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.4 shall not apply to any
loss or liability arising from any breach of any of SOIF II’s Title and Authority Warranties, SOIF II’s intentional
misconduct or fraudulent conduct or to SOIF II’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section
5.2, which liability and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7,
the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of REIT with respect to matters which are subject
to indemnification by SOIF II under Section 8.3 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being
hereby waived.

 

8.5 Pledge Agreement.

 

(a)          On
or before the Closing Date, SOIF II shall execute and deliver a pledge agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D, pursuant to which SOIF II’s indemnity obligations contained in Section 8.3 hereof shall be secured by a
pledge of the REIT Shares equal to 10% of such REIT Shares, and which pledge will be in full satisfaction of any indemnification
obligations of SOIF II contained in Section 8.3 hereof (the “Pledge Agreement”).

 

(b)          Each
of the REIT Indemnified Parties by accepting the benefits of this Agreement hereby designates and appoints REIT as its agent under
the Pledge Agreement, and hereby irrevocably authorizes REIT to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf
under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth therein, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. REIT is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive any provisions of the Pledge Agreement
on behalf of the REIT Indemnified Parties. REIT agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 8.5.
The provisions of this Section 8.5 are solely for the benefit of REIT and the REIT Indemnified Parties, and SOIF II shall
have no obligations under or rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and
duties under the Pledge Agreement, REIT shall act solely as an administrative representative of the REIT Indemnified Parties and
does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the
REIT Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees.

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

(c)          REIT
shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities to the REIT Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in this
Section 8.5 or in the Pledge Agreement. Neither REIT nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable
to any REIT Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 8.5 or under the Pledge Agreement,
or in connection with this Section 8.5 or the Pledge Agreement, except that REIT shall be obligated on the terms set forth
in this Section 8.5 for performance of its express obligations under the Pledge Agreement. In performing its functions and
duties under the Pledge Agreement, REIT shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with a security interest
in collateral held for its own account, but REIT shall not be responsible to any REIT Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties in the Pledge Agreement or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability
or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or the collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. REIT shall not be required to
make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreement.

 

(d)          REIT
shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message
or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Section 8.5
and the Pledge Agreement and its duties under this Section 8.5 or the Pledge Agreement, upon advice of counsel selected
by it. REIT shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by
REIT in its sole discretion.

 

8.6 Indemnification
of the SOIF Parties by REIT. REIT shall indemnify, defend and hold the SOIF Parties, their successors, assigns and Affiliates
(each a “SOIF Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “SOIF Indemnified Parties”) harmless
from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by any third party against, a
SOIF Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of the REIT, its assigns (including, but not limited to BRG Waterford),
its agents, employees or contractors or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the Waterford Interests first arising
from and after the Closing; (b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the REIT’s representations and warranties
set forth herein; or (c) except as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by REIT to perform any covenant or
obligation set out in this Agreement.

 

8.7 Limitation
on REIT’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) REIT shall
not have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.6 unless and until the aggregate amount of such claims
exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration (provided that, once the amount of such claims exceeds such
threshold, REIT shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall REIT’s collective aggregate
liability for claims under Section 8.6 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the value of the Consideration; provided,
however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.7 shall not apply to any loss or liability
arising from any breach of any of REIT’s Title and Authority Warranties, REIT’s intentional misconduct or fraudulent
conduct or to REIT’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2, which liability
and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the provisions of this
Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the SOIF Parties with respect to matters which are subject to indemnification
by REIT under Section 8.6 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being hereby waived.

 

8.8 SOIF
Parties’ Loan Guarantees. The SOIF Parties have advised the REIT that Waterford Titleholder’s Loan is further
secured by a guaranty of payment and performance made jointly by the SOIF Parties and the Bell Entities (the “Guaranty”);
and at Closing, the REIT shall either (a) cause the SOIF Parties to be released from any further liability under the Guaranty (which
release may be conditioned upon the REIT’s provision of replacement guaranties for the Loan), or (b) the REIT shall deliver
to the SOIF Parties an indemnity agreement pursuant to which the REIT indemnifies the SOIF Parties from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities, actual (but not punitive or consequential) damages, obligations, judgments, causes of action, costs
and expenses, including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”)
suffered or incurred by any of the SOIF Parties from and after the Closing under the Guaranty unless such Losses are directly caused
by any acts or omissions of any or all of the SOIF Parties, the BR Waterford JV Member or the Waterford Titleholder prior to Closing
(the “SOIF Parties’ Guaranty Indemnity”). The terms and provisions of the SOIF Parties’ Guaranty
Indemnity shall be mutually and reasonably acceptable to all of the REIT and the Contributors.

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

8.9 Survival.
The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the Closing; provided that claims under clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1,
clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.3 or clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.6, shall be subject to the time limitations set
forth in Section 6.8. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding that claims under clause
(a) of Section 8.1, clause (a) of Section 8.3 or  clause (a) of Section 8.6 may not arise out of a breach
or inaccuracy of the indemnifying party’s representations or warranties, such claims are nonetheless subject to the Limitation
Period. Any claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or (b), Section 8.3(a) or (b) or Section 8.6(a) or
(b) not made on or prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period set forth in Section 6.8 shall be irrevocably and
unconditionally waived and released.

to outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of the other, which
consent may not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld so long as such public disclosure is otherwise in compliance with
this Agreement; provided, however, that without the consent of the other Party, a Party may make (i) any public disclosure it reasonably

Wunderlich Securities, Inc.

Arlington, VA 22201

 

As Representative of the Several Underwriters

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As an inducement to
the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among Bluerock
Residential Growth REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Bluerock Multifamily Holdings, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and BRG Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Manager”) on the one hand and Wunderlich Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters
named in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Representative”) on the other hand, pursuant to which
an offering will be made for the Class A shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Shares”), the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up
Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Shares (including common and special
units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, the “Common Stock”), enter into a transaction which
would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery
of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer,
sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the
prior written consent of the Representative. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
Representative, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration
of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Common Stock.

 

The “Lock-Up
Period” will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date 180 days after the public
offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Common Stock (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that (subject to the second succeeding paragraph) if (1) during
the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating
to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release
earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up
Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the
occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representative waives, in writing, such extension.

 

The undersigned agrees
that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during
the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up
Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has
received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph)
has expired.

 

A transfer of Common
Stock to a partner, member, family member or trust may be made, provided, that (i) such transfer shall not involve a disposition
for value, (ii) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer, and (iii) no
filing or public announcement by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or otherwise shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on
a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period).

 

    	36

    	 

    

 

In furtherance of the
foregoing, the transfer agent and registrar is hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Common Stock if such
transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

 

This Agreement shall
be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement
shall lapse and become null and void if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before [•], 2014 or if the
Company notifies the Representative in writing that it has elected not to proceed with a public offering of shares of Common Stock.
This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

	 	Very truly yours,

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.          Grant
of Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations, now existing
or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, the Pledgor pledges to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and for the benefit of each

each Indemnified Party subject to the limitations set forth herein, a security interest in the following property (collectively,

Pledged Interests, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto;

 

(b)          any

proceeds and profits of any or all of the foregoing.

 

    	38

    	 

    

 

Pledgor and Pledgee do hereby acknowledge
and agree that Pledgor shall be entitled, at any time during the Pledge Period, to substitute Cash Collateral for all or any portion
of the Pledged Interests and/or the Additional Interests. Any Cash Collateral shall be held in a segregated account in the name
of both Pledgor and Pledgee (at an institution designated by Pledgee) and shall be released from such account only upon instructions
given by Pledgor and Pledgee, which instructions shall conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.            Delivery
of Certificates and Instruments. The Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee: (a) the original certificates or other instruments
or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests, if any, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (b)
the original certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing all other Collateral (except for Collateral that this Agreement
specifically permits the Pledgor to retain) within ten (10) days after Pledgor’s receipt thereof. All Collateral that is
certificated securities shall be in bearer form or, if in registered form, shall be reflected as being subject to this Agreement
on the books of the transfer agent.

 

3.            Pledgor
Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) the Pledgor shall remain obligated, to the extent set forth
in the agreements (including, without limitation, the Pledgee’s Charter Documents) under which it has received, or has rights
or obligations in respect of its ownership of, the REIT Shares (“Related Agreements”) to perform its duties
and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Pledgee of any
of its rights hereunder shall not release the Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the Related Agreements, except
to the extent that such duties and obligations may have been terminated by reason of a sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral pursuant hereto; and (c) the Pledgee shall not by reason of this Agreement have any obligations or liabilities under
the Related Agreements (beyond those imposed directly on the Pledgee by the express terms therein), nor shall the Pledgee be obligated
to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgor under the Related Agreements or to take any action to collect or enforce
any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

merge or consolidate with any person or change its name during the Pledge Period, without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior
written notice to the Pledgee, and with respect to any such change in address or name or merger or consolidation, Pledgor shall
execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such actions as the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to perfect and
protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Collateral.

 

(3)         During
the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period (as defined below)), the Pledgor will not create,

or consummated until the Pledge Period has expired).

 

    	39

    	 

    

 

(4)         The

(8)         The
Pledgor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (as applicable) any law or regulation, or

bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of the Pledgor
pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing.

 

(9)         No
consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, as applicable, members and creditors of the Pledgor) and no consent,
license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with,
any governmental instrumentality is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability
of this Agreement, except for (x) any of same necessary to issue, certificate or register the REIT Shares or (y) the filing of
any financing statements required or contemplated hereunder.

 

(10)        The
pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral

(11)        During
the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take commercially reasonable
actions to defend the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral (or, during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained
Collateral) against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Affiliates of Pledgee).

 

(12)        During
the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take any and all commercially
reasonable actions necessary to maintain its status as a stockholder of the Pledgee and the shares of Pledgee’s Class “A”
common stock represented by the Pledged Interests.

 

(13)        During
the Pledge Period, the Pledgor will not enter into or assume any other agreement containing a negative pledge with respect to the
Collateral (or, during any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable, with respect to the Retained Collateral).

 

(b)          The
Pledgee represents, warrants and covenants, as of the date hereof (for itself and not jointly or jointly and severally with any

    	40

its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by the application of general equitable principles.

 

(6)         The
Pledgee’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (as applicable) any law or regulation, or
any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality binding on Pledgee, or any provision of the Pledgee’s Charter
Documents, or any securities issued by, the Pledgee, and will not conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default

of this Agreement, except for (x) any of same necessary to issue, certificate or register the REIT Shares or (y) the filing of
any financing statements required or contemplated hereunder.

 

5.            Registration.
If any Claim (as defined below) remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice (as
defined below), and provided Pledgee has notified Pledgor in writing of its intention to take any of the actions specified in this
Section 5 and further provided Pledgor has not within three (3) business days from receipt of such written notification substituted
Cash Collateral in the amount of such Outstanding Claim (as defined below) for all (or an applicable portion) of the Pledged Interests
(and/or the Additional Interests), then Pledgee may cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its
name or the name of its nominee or nominees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Pledgee shall not be entitled
to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the Pledged Interests (or the Additional Interests) that is prohibited
by the terms, or would cause a breach or violation, of the Lock-Up Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

6.            Claims;
Value of Collateral. 

 

(a)          Any
claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification under the Contribution Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section 8.1
of the Contribution Agreement. On or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period”),
an Indemnified Party may give written notice (each a “Claim Notice”) to the Pledgor of any Loss that is subject
to indemnification under Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement (each a “Claim”). Pledgor and Pledgee shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Claim within thirty (30) days of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice. Any
Claim that has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Pledgor and Pledgee shall be referred to hereunder as an “Outstanding
Claim”. The amount required to satisfy any Claim shall be disclosed in the Claims Notice, as estimated by the Independent
Directors (as defined below) in their reasonable discretion, and same shall be binding on Pledgor unless manifestly erroneous (such
amount(s) being referred to, individually and collectively, as the “Estimated Claims Amount”).

 

    	41

    	 

    

 

(b)          The
value of Collateral (the “Value”) shall be determined as follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting
of the REIT Shares, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate monetary value of the REIT Shares (determined by the
Share Price on the Closing Date); (ii) for all other non-cash (or non-cash equivalent) Collateral, the fair market value of such
Collateral as determined by the independent directors of the Pledgee who meet the New York Stock Exchange standards of independence
for directors, as determined by the board of directors of the Pledgee (the “Independent Directors”).

 

7.            Voting
Rights and Certain Payments Prior to Occurrence of Secured Obligations and Other Events. 

 

(a)          Unless
and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, in its sole discretion but not inconsistent
with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral
shall be registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee in strict compliance with the terms hereof) execute, or cause to
be executed, from time to time such proxies or other instruments in favor of the Pledgor or its nominee in such form and for such
purposes as shall be reasonably required and specified in writing by the Pledgor, to enable the Pledgor to exercise such voting
power with respect to such Collateral. If a Claim Notice has been properly issued by Pledgee, then the rights granted under this
Paragraph 7(a) shall be exercisable by Pledgee, rather than Pledgor, with respect to Collateral having a Value equal to the Estimated
Claims Amount (the “Claims Pending Collateral”), with Pledgor retaining the rights granted hereunder relating
to all other Collateral.

 

(b)          Unless
and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any
and all regular cash distributions (but not distributions in the form of Additional Interests or other securities, distributions
in kind or liquidating distributions, all of which shall be delivered and applied in accordance with Section 8 hereof) and interest
at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue
of this Agreement. Any of such regular cash distributions or interest paid while any Outstanding Claim exists shall be deemed part
of the Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Collateral.

 

8.            Extraordinary
Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Pledgee, any sum shall
be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral during the Pledge Period, such
sum shall be paid over to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, to be held by the
Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. Any such payment
made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in
or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains held by Pledgee, in which case any
such payment applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter
subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral. In case, during the Pledge Period, any distribution of Additional
Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or Additional Interests or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to
any split involving any of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any shares,
obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification
of the capital of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the merger or consolidation of the Pledgee with or into another entity, the shares, obligations
or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder, and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all
purposes hereof. Any such distribution made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and
the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains
held by Pledgee, in which case any such distribution applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained
Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral. 

 

    	42

    	 

    

 

9.            Pledgor
Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be impaired
by: 

 

(a)          any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Pledgor;

 

(b)          any
amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations provided that
the Pledgor has consented to same (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied);

 

(c)          the
taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination
of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or

 

(d)          the
lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations against the Pledgor or any other person, whether or not the Pledgor shall
have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

 

10.          Voting
Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Claim Notice and Certain Other Events. 

 

(a)          From
and after the issuance of any Claim Notice, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise, or refrain from exercising, all voting power
with respect to, and to otherwise exercise all ownership rights arising from, the Claims Pending Collateral shall cease, and thereupon
the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to such Claims Pending Collateral and otherwise exercise
such ownership rights as though the Pledgee were the outright owner of such Claims Pending Collateral (Pledgor shall retain such
voting power with respect to all other Collateral). If the Independent Directors of the Pledgee reasonably determine that the Estimated
Claims Amount equals or exceeds the Value of the Collateral then available to satisfy such Outstanding Claims, then the Pledgor
shall no longer be the owner of such Collateral for tax purposes and all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain the distributions
and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon
the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all distributions and interest
at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such determination, the
Pledgee gives notice thereof to the Pledgor.

 

(b)          All
payments, distributions or other property or assets that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a)
of this Section 10 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee.

 

11.         Application
of Cash Collateral. Any cash received and retained by the Pledgee as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may
at any time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at its option, in strict accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which such Collateral secures (in the order described in
paragraph 12 below), but only if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder. 

 

12.         Application
of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall
be applied by the Pledgee: first to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, but only if and to the extent any such payment
is required hereunder; and then, to the payment to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

 

13.         Remedies
With Respect to the Collateral. 

 

(a)          If
any Claim remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, then Pledgee, without obligation
to resort to other security, shall have the right at any time and from time to time thereafter to apply, after three (3) business
days’ prior written notice to Pledgor (each an “Application Notice”), Collateral with a Value equal to
the Estimated Claims Amount, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and to receive all right, title and interest,
claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, same to be applied by Pledgee to payment of such Outstanding Claims.

 

    	43

    	 

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, the sole recourse of the Pledgee against the Pledgor
for the Secured Obligations is limited to the rights of the Pledgor in any Collateral that is applied by the Pledgee in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to satisfy such Secured Obligations.

 

(c)          No
demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be required in connection with any transfer of
Collateral to the Pledgee in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Subject
to the provisions of Section 13(b) above, the remedies provided herein in favor of the Pledgee relating to the Collateral shall
not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Pledgee relating
to the Collateral existing at law or in equity.

 

14.         Care
of Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or
as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession. With
respect to any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating to any of the
Collateral (herein called “events”), the Pledgee’s duty shall be fully satisfied if (i) the Pledgee exercises
reasonable care to ascertain the occurrence and to give reasonable written notice to the Pledgor of any events applicable to any
Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Pledgee gives the Pledgor reasonable
written notice of the occurrence of any events, of which the Pledgee has actual knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer
form or are not registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the Pledgor agreeing to give the Pledgee reasonable
written notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to any securities Collateral in the possession of the Pledgor of which
the Pledgor has received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Pledgee endeavors to take such action with respect to any of the events
as the Pledgor may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such action to be evaluated and taken
or (b) if the Pledgee reasonably determines that the action requested might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the collection
of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of the Pledgee, the Pledgee gives reasonable written notice to
the Pledgor that any such requested action will not be taken and if the Pledgee makes such determination or if the Pledgor fails
to make such timely request, the Pledgee takes such other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as hereinabove
specifically set forth, the Pledgee shall have no further obligation, under this Agreement only, to ascertain the occurrence of,
or to notify the Pledgor with respect to, any events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation as a result
of the establishment by the Pledgee of any internal procedures with respect to any Collateral in its possession. 

 

15.         Power
of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee to act during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable,
any Extended Pledge Period) as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement
and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Pledgee reasonably may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof, provided that Pledgee has given Pledgor prior reasonable written notice of Pledgee’s intention to exercise
such attorney-in-fact rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time while an Outstanding Claim exists,
the Pledgee shall have the right and power (a) with respect to any Claims Pending Collateral to satisfy a Secured Obligation in
strict accordance with the terms and conditions herein, to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment
of money made payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or other distribution payable in respect of such Claims Pending
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, and (b) to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Claims Pending Collateral; provided, that the Pledgee shall provide
reasonable written notice to the Pledgor prior to taking any such action under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). For purposes
of this Section 15 and Section 14 above, “reasonable written notice” shall mean written notice given within five (5)
days of the occurrence of the event, issue or at least five (5) days prior to the date on which such requisite action will be taken.

 

    	44

    	 

    

 

16.         Further
Assurances. The Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon reasonable request of the Pledgee, duly execute and deliver,
or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Pledgee such further instruments and documents and take and cause to be taken
such further actions as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee to carry out more effectually the provisions
and purposes of this Agreement; provided that none of the same will materially affect Pledgor’s or Pledgee’s rights
hereunder or materially increase their obligations hereunder. 

 

17.         No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising, any of its
options, powers, rights or remedies hereunder during the Pledge Period, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute
a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other option, power, right or remedy
during the Pledge Period. 

 

18.         Security
Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations
of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Contribution Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (b) any change in
any term of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the
Contribution Agreement or any other agreement or instrument or (c) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense

20.         End

(a)          For
purposes of this Agreement, the “Pledge Period” means the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on
the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof; provided, that, if there are any Outstanding Claims at the time
of termination of the Pledge Period, the Pledgee shall have the right to retain, pending resolution of such Outstanding Claim(s)
pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement, and at all times subject to the terms hereof, Collateral equal in Value
to the Estimated Claims Amount (“Retained Collateral”). Solely with respect to such Retained Collateral, the
Pledge Period shall be deemed to continue (an “Extended Pledge Period”) until the earlier to occur of (i) the
ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) the resolution pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement, of
the Outstanding Claim(s) to which such Retained Collateral relates; provided, however, if any Outstanding Claims remain in existence
on the ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof, then Pledgor shall be required to deliver Replacement Collateral (as defined
below) to Pledgee before the Extended Pledge Period may end. Following the expiration of the Pledge Period, the Pledgor shall be
required to maintain for the balance of the Survival Period a minimum net worth of not less than $10,000,000.00.

 

(b)          Upon
the termination of the Pledge Period (or the Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor shall be entitled
to, and the Pledgee promptly shall effect, the return to the Pledgor of all of the Collateral (and all other cash or other items
held as additional Collateral hereunder) that has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in strict
accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood, for the sake of clarity, that Collateral not so used or applied shall become
subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the last day of the Pledge Period, except for any Retained Collateral,
which shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the date determined in accordance with Section 20(a)
above). The Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect and evidence the return of Collateral under this Section 20, including,
without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to, and the return to the Pledgor of certificates, if
any, representing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) comprising, such Collateral.

 

(c)          The
assignment by the Pledgee to the Pledgor of such Collateral shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever
except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4(b) above. Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights or remedies available
to it at law or in equity concerning Pledgee’s performance of its obligations hereunder (or any breach of the representations
or warranties made by Pledgee hereunder).

 

    	45

    	 

    

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Pledgor shall have the right to substitute Cash Collateral for (i) any Pledged
Interests or Additional Interests that are subject to application by Pledgee following issuance of an Application Notice or (ii)
any Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) constituting Retained Collateral (“Replacement Collateral”)
by depositing such Replacement Collateral with the Pledgee (same to be held subject to the Cash Collateral provisions set forth
in Section 1 and elsewhere herein) and instructing the Pledgee to release the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) for which
they are substituted; provided, that as of the date of such substitution, the Value of the Replacement Collateral
shall be equal to or greater than the Estimated Claims Amount. Upon replacement of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests)
with Replacement Collateral meeting the requirements stated above, the Pledgee’s security interest in the replaced Pledged
Interests (or Additional Interests) shall terminate and be released and the Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect
and evidence the return of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination
statements with respect to such Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), and the prompt delivery of the original certifications,
if any, or other instruments or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests). The continuing lien and perfected
security interest granted by the Pledgor to the Pledgee shall automatically apply and attach to and be granted with respect to
the Replacement Collateral and Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such actions as the Pledgee
reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Replacement Collateral.

in the instrument of assignment, have all of the rights and obligations of the Pledgee hereunder with respect to the Collateral,

assignee/transferee provided that such assignee/transferee has expressly assumed in writing all duties and obligations of the Pledgee
hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of Pledgor. However, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve such assignee/transferee
of those duties and obligations of the Pledgee specified hereunder.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

This Contribution Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made as of the Effective Date (defined below), by and among BLUEROCK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY
+ INCOME FUND, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOIF” or “Contributor”) and BLUEROCK
RESIDENTIAL GROWTH REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.          SOIF
is a manager of, and the owner and holder of a 49% limited liability company interest in, BR Springhouse Managing Member,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BR Springhouse JV Member”).

 

B.           BR
Springhouse JV Member is the owner and holder of a 75% limited liability company interest in BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV”). Hawthorne Springhouse, LLC, a North
Carolina limited liability company (“Hawthorne LLC”), which is unrelated to SOIF and BR Springhouse JV Member,
owns 25% of BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV. BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV owns 100% of BR Springhouse, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Springhouse Titleholder”), which is the fee simple owner and holder of the Springhouse Property
(as defined in Appendix 1.2).

 

C.           BR
Hawthorne Springhouse JV is managed by BR Springhouse JV Member, and the Springhouse Property is managed on a day-to-day basis
by Hawthorne Residential Partners, LLC (“Property Manager”).

 

D.           REIT
is the parent and general partner of Bluerock Residential Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership”).
REIT intends to conduct an underwritten public offering of its shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (such underwritten public offering, the “IPO”).

 

E.           Subject
to, inter alia, the completion of the IPO, SOIF desires to contribute, and REIT desires to accept the contribution from SOIF, of
all of SOIF’s right, title and interest in its 49% limited liability company interest in the BR Springhouse JV Member free
and clear of Encumbrances (the “SOIF Springhouse Interests” or the “Springhouse Interests”),
and the parties desire to amend the management structure of BR Springhouse JV Member in connection therewith, after which SOIF
shall have no further right, title or interest in BR Springhouse JV Member or its subsidiaries.

 

F.           Through
the aforesaid contribution, and in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, REIT intends to acquire the
Springhouse Interests by directing SOIF to convey the Springhouse Interests to the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiary,
BEMT Springhouse, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BEMT Springhouse”), in consideration for which
REIT shall pay cash to Contributor, as provided herein. In consideration of REIT directing SOIF to convey the Springhouse Interests
to BEMT Springhouse, the Operating Partnership shall issue to Bluerock REIT Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and wholly-owned subsidiary of REIT, the Issued OP Units (as hereinafter defined). BEMT Springhouse is currently co-manager of,
and the owner and holder of a 51% limited liability company interest in, BR Springhouse JV Member.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Contributor and REIT agree as follows:

In accordance with the Recitals set forth above, which Recitals are incorporated into this Agreement and made a part hereof, the
Contributor agrees to contribute, and the REIT agrees to accept, the Springhouse Interests for the consideration set forth below
(the “Consideration”) and on the terms and conditions otherwise contained in this Agreement.

 

(a)          At

1.4 [Reserved]

 

1.5 Descriptive
Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,”
“hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The
singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context
otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words
“without limitation.”

 

ARTICLE 2. INSPECTION

 

2.1 Due Diligence;
Inspection. REIT shall have the Due Diligence Period in which to examine and inspect the Springhouse Interests, BR Springhouse
JV Member, BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV, Springhouse Titleholder (collectively, BR Springhouse JV Member, BR Hawthorne Springhouse
JV, and Springhouse Titleholder shall be referred to herein as the “Companies”) and the Springhouse Property
to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Springhouse Interests, the Companies and the Property are satisfactory to the
REIT. The REIT and other parties designated by it (collectively, “REIT’s Representatives”) shall have
reasonable access to all books and records for the Springhouse Property and the Companies that are in Contributor’s possession
or control for the purpose of conducting due diligence and shall, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases, be able to conduct
and complete such surveys, inspections and tests (including reasonable intrusive inspection and sampling), as may be required by
the REIT, subject to the limitations set forth herein. In the course of its investigations, but subject to the provisions of Section 9.6,
the REIT may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, municipal, local and other government representatives.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

If any inspection or
test damages the Property, REIT will promptly restore at its sole expense the Property to its condition immediately prior to any
such inspection or test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, REIT shall not conduct any soil borings, core samples or other invasive
testing without the prior written consent of Contributor (and also without the prior written consent of Hawthorne LLC to the extent
Contributor determines such consent must be obtained), which consent by Contributor will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned and which shall be deemed given by Contributor unless the Contributor provides written notice of objection to REIT,
specifying the basis for such objection, within three (3) days after submission by REIT of a written request for such testing.
REIT shall indemnify, defend, and hold Contributor, Springhouse Titleholder, Hawthorne LLC and Property Manager harmless from any
liens arising out of its inspections as well as any claims asserted by third parties against Contributor, Springhouse Titleholder,
Hawthorne LLC or Property Manager (other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Contributor, Springhouse
Titleholder, Hawthorne LLC or Property Manager or any of their respective Affiliates (other than REIT, its Subsidiaries and its
Advisor)) to recover for personal injury or property damage as a result of REIT’s or REIT’s Representatives’
entry onto the Property; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Contributor, Springhouse Titleholder, Hawthorne
LLC and Property Manager from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by REIT (i.e., latent environmental contamination)
so long as REIT’s actions do not intentionally exacerbate such pre-existing liability. REIT shall procure and continue in
force from and after the date REIT and REIT’s Representatives first enter the Property, and continuing throughout the term
of this Agreement, liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000. Prior to entering the Property, REIT shall provide to Contributor
a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and naming Springhouse Titleholder and Property Manager as additional insured
parties. REIT’s obligations under this Section 2.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period
of twelve (12) months.

 

2.2 Contributor’s
Delivery of Specified Documents. Upon REIT’s written request, Contributor or its agents shall provide, subject to
the provisions of Section 9.6, the REIT with access to a virtual data room containing any reasonable information sought
by REIT (and not otherwise already in REIT’s possession) with respect to the Springhouse Interests, the Companies and the
Property. Information concerning the Property shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Property Information”,
and information concerning the Springhouse Interests and the Companies shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Company
Information”. During the pendency of this Agreement, (i) Contributor shall post in the virtual data room any document
described above as and when it comes into Contributor’s possession or control or is produced by Contributor, after the initial
delivery of the Property Information; and (ii) Contributor shall endeavor to keep REIT reasonably informed as to the material
operation of the Property, and at the written request of the REIT, shall post in such virtual data room copies of leasing status
reports, operating statements and other management reports with respect to the Property prepared in the ordinary course of business.
Without limiting the foregoing, Contributor shall make all other documents, files and information requested by REIT (and not otherwise
already in REIT’s possession) concerning the Property and the Companies in the possession or control of Contributor available
for REIT’s inspection in such virtual data room or such other location as the parties may reasonably agree.

 

2.3 Title and
Survey. REIT, at its own expense, may, during the Due Diligence Period, order (i) any owner lien searches (or other
title updates) with respect to the Property, (ii) such surveys or updates to existing surveys with respect to the Property
as it desires and (iii) such UCC, judgment, and tax lien searches with respect to Contributor, the Companies and the Property
as it desires. Contributor shall cooperate and shall cause other parties to cooperate with REIT’s inspections under this
Section.

 

2.4 Objection
Notice. If REIT is not satisfied in its sole discretion with any of its inspections, reviews or with any other matter concerning
the Property or the Companies, REIT may, either (i) on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, terminate this
Agreement by notice to Contributor, in which event no party shall have further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of
certain expenses pursuant to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1,
or (ii) on or prior to March 18, 2014, raise certain objections by providing notice to Contributor in writing (the “Objection
Notice”), which Objection Notice may, at REIT’s option, specify in reasonable detail which matters (collectively,
the “Objections”) REIT does not find satisfactory with respect to the Property and the Companies.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

If REIT timely provides
an Objection Notice, then Contributor shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice to notify REIT in
writing as to whether it intends to remove, or cause to be corrected to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction, prior to Closing
any of such Objections, and removal or correction of any such Objections which Contributor elects to remove or correct (or is obligated
to remove or correct hereunder) shall be a condition to REIT’s obligation to close (collectively, “Mandatory Cure
Items”). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Contributor shall not have any obligation to remove or correct
any Objections other than voluntary Encumbrances of the Springhouse Interests or the Property (but not including liens and security
interests securing the Loans), or any other Objections which Contributor elects to cure as provided above, all of which shall be
removed by Contributor on or before Closing. The Closing Date may be extended if needed to allow sufficient time for Contributor
to remove or cure such Mandatory Cure Items. The foregoing notwithstanding, Contributor shall be required to (i) remove any
mechanic’s or material liens encumbering the Property or (ii) cause such liens to be bonded over or secured to REIT’s
reasonable satisfaction.

 

If Contributor does
not elect in writing within such two (2) Business Day period to remove or correct any Objection to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction,
then REIT (i) shall elect by written notice to Contributor on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate
this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of certain expenses pursuant
to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1, or (ii) shall
accept the Springhouse Interests and the Property subject to any Objections (other than Mandatory Cure Items), and proceed to close
as to all of the Springhouse Interests, with the further right to deduct from the Consideration amounts required to remove any
Mandatory Cure Items that are liens of an ascertainable amount and that are not removed by Contributor on or before Closing.

 

If this Agreement is
not terminated on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then REIT shall proceed to close under this Agreement
subject only to the satisfaction of REIT’s closing conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 3. OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

 

3.1 Ongoing Operations.
From the Effective Date through the Closing Date:

 

(a)          Operation
of Property. Contributor shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Springhouse Titleholder to maintain the Property
in substantially its current condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, natural deterioration and obsolescence between the Effective
Date and the Closing Date, and in material compliance with all applicable Laws. Except as necessary to comply with the preceding
sentence or to make the Real Property suitable for use by new tenants, Contributor shall not make or permit any material alterations
to the Property or any portion thereof without REIT’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Contributor will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each Company to perform its material obligations under
all Leases, Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect it or the Property or the Springhouse Interests. Contributor
will not remove or permit the removal of any Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and
repair and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal. Neither Contributor nor
its employees, agents or contractors, shall knowingly or intentionally take or permit to be taken any action that causes Contributor’s
representations or warranties hereunder to become materially untrue or that causes one or more of REIT’s conditions to Closing
to be unsatisfied or knowingly or intentionally fail to take any action within its actual control that is required to cause Contributor’s
representations and warranties hereunder to be true in all material respects.

 

(b)          New
Contracts and Exclusivity. Contributor shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of Companies
to, (i) without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s reasonable discretion through to
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of the Due Diligence Period), amend,
grant concessions or waivers regarding or under, or enter into any material contract or other agreement that will be an obligation
affecting any of the Companies or the Property after Closing or binding on any of the Companies after Closing, except Leases or
Service Contracts in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices (and consistent with then-current concessions
and parameters) and contracts terminable by any of the Companies without penalty on no later than 60 days’ notice, or (ii) list
the Springhouse Interests or the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit, negotiate or accept any offers to sell all or any
part of the Springhouse Interests or the Property or any interest therein or in any of the Subsidiaries. If REIT fails to respond
to a request of Contributor for consent required by Section 3.1(b)(i) within five (5) days after REIT’s receipt
of Contributor’s written request and all information reasonably required in order to make an informed decision, REIT shall
(A) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have consented to Contributor taking such proposed action
and (B) after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have objected to such proposed action.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(c)          Maintenance
of Permits and Insurance. Contributor shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each of the Companies to maintain
in existence all licenses, permits and approvals necessary or reasonably appropriate to the ownership, operation or improvement
of their own legal status and the Property as well as all insurance currently affecting the Property.

 

(d)          Leasing.
Contributor shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally, cause or permit Springhouse Titleholder, BR Hawthorne Springhouse
JV or BR Springhouse JV Member to enter into any Leases, or grant any lease concessions, incentives or waivers, except in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices.

 

(e)          Loan
Documents. Contributor will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Companies to timely comply with all of the terms
and conditions of the Loan Documents. Except for any amendments expressly contemplated hereby or unless necessary to avoid or cure
any default thereunder or unless required by any Lender, Contributor shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of
the Companies to amend or terminate the Loan Documents without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s
reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of
the Due Diligence Period).

 

(f)          Property
Encumbrances. Except for any liens and security interests securing the Loans or any liens resulting from REIT’s (or REIT’s
Representatives’) activities at or on the Property pursuant to this Agreement, Contributor shall not create or acquiesce
to the creation of, and shall not knowingly or intentionally permit Springhouse Titleholder to create or acquiesce to the creation
of, any Encumbrances to title with respect to the Property other than the Existing Title Exceptions with respect to the Property,
without in each case the prior written consent of REIT, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, but which may be withheld in REIT’s sole discretion following the expiration
of the Due Diligence Period.

 

(g)         Ownership
Interests. Contributor shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally permit the Companies to, sell, assign, convey, transfer,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise Encumber any membership or partnership interest in any of the Companies, other than the assignment
of the Springhouse Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Any such action taken by Hawthorne LLC or Property Manager shall be outside
of the scope of this Agreement.

 

3.2 Damage.
Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Contributor. Contributor shall promptly give REIT written notice
of any damage to the Property, describing such damage, stating whether such damage and loss of rents is covered by insurance and
the estimated cost of repairing such damage. In the event of any “Material Damage” (described below) to the Property,
REIT may, at its option, by written notice to Contributor given within three (3) Business Days after Contributor has provided the
above described notice (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give REIT the full three (3) Business Day period
to make its election) to: (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement and receive a credit at
Closing for Contributor’s applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under any insurance policies. If REIT fails
to timely make such election, REIT shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If the Property is not materially
damaged, then (x) REIT shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and (y) at Closing, REIT shall receive a credit for
Contributor’s applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under said insurance policies and any uninsured loss.
“Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means, with respect to the Property, damage which
in REIT’s and Contributor’s reasonable estimation (based on a third party report, prepared by a qualified third party,
that is mutually acceptable to REIT and Contributor, each acting in its reasonable discretion) exceeds $100,000 to repair. Such
third party report shall not be required where it is evident that such damage will not exceed $100,000 to repair.

 

3.3 Condemnation.
In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are threatened in writing or instituted against any portion of the Property by any
Governmental Authority having the power of eminent domain, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

3.4 Certain Tax
Matters.

 

(a)          Between
the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Contributor shall give, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 below, REIT and
REIT’s Representatives full access at their own expense to all books, records and tax returns of or relating to the Springhouse
Interests, whether in possession of Contributor or any of its Affiliates or any third-party professional advisor or representative
of Contributor, in order that REIT may have full opportunity to make such investigations as they shall desire to make of the Springhouse
Interests for tax purposes. Contributor shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all of its respective third-party advisors
and representatives, including without limitation accountants and attorneys, to fully cooperate and be available to REIT (at its
sole expense) in connection with such investigation.

 

(b)          The
parties will account for the transactions contemplated hereby for all purposes (including GAAP and tax accounting) as a contribution
by the Contributor of its membership interests in BR Springhouse JV Member to the REIT in a taxable transaction for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes.

 

ARTICLE 4. CLOSING

 

4.1 Closing.
The Closing shall occur on the Closing Date. The transactions described herein shall be closed by means of concurrent delivery
of the documents of title, transfer of interest and the Consideration. Closing shall take place at the offices of Kaplan Voekler
Cunningham & Frank, PLC, 1401 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, or such place as the parties hereto may agree upon.
If the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2014 (except as such date may be further extended by mutual agreement
of the Parties), this Agreement shall expire and terminate with no further action required, subject only to the provisions hereto
which expressly survive termination.

 

4.2 Conditions
to the Parties’ Obligations to Close.

 

(a)          Transaction
Conditions.

 

A.           As
a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, any notice to the Lender to the conveyance of the Springhouse Interests as a permitted
transfer required under any of the Loan Documents shall have been delivered to Lender in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents,
and any terms and conditions imposed by any such Lender in connection with the conveyance shall be satisfactory to the REIT in
its sole discretion.

 

B.           As
a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, the REIT or its direct or indirect owners or subsidiaries may be obligated to
assume personal liability for certain undertakings under the Loan Documents, as reasonably required by Lender as a condition to
granting its consent to the proposed transfer. However, none of the REIT or any of its direct or indirect owners shall be obligated
to assume any liabilities directly related to the Springhouse Interests, and at Closing all of the Springhouse Interests will be
free from third-party loans and security interests, including without limitation any lien arising under the KeyBank Line of Credit,
but will remain subject to the Loans and all liens and security interests associated therewith.

 

C.           As
a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, as of the Closing Date, there shall not exist any uncured event of default under
the Loan Documents and Springhouse Titleholder shall have paid in full all interest and other amounts (including, without limitation,
installments of principal and interest and any applicable fees, charges or penalties) that are then due and payable under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party at or prior to Closing.

 

D.           As
a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, as of the Closing Date, the REIT shall have completed its IPO (“IPO Completion”).

 

E.           As
a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, as of the Closing Date, Hawthorne LLC, or its successors or assigns, shall have
agreed to modify the terms and conditions of the BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV’s operating agreement or limited liability company
agreement (the “BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV Operating Agreement”) relative to control of the entity to the satisfaction
of the REIT in its sole discretion, if necessary.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

The conditions precedent set forth in this
Section 4.2(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Transaction Conditions”.
If REIT does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant
to Section 2.4, following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Contributor shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to cause the Transaction Conditions (other than the IPO Completion) to be satisfied and REIT agrees to cooperate in good faith
and with reasonable diligence with such efforts (and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause IPO Completion to occur).
At Closing, REIT shall pay to Contributor (or reimburse Contributor, as applicable, with respect to) (i) any and all payments required
to be made to or on behalf of any Lender in order to procure its consent to this transaction and (ii) any and all of the reasonable
legal fees of counsel incurred in connection with satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions in Section 4.2(a)(A). REIT
shall have the right to participate with Contributor in respect to negotiation with each Lender concerning satisfaction of the
Transaction Conditions.

 

(b)          Title.
It shall be a condition to REIT’s obligation to close that title to the Property is vested of record in Springhouse Titleholder
on the Closing Date, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and any liens resulting from REIT’s (or REIT’s Representatives’)
activities at or on the Property pursuant to this Agreement or BEMT Springhouse’s actions (or those of its officers, employees
or agents).

 

(c)          Mutuality
of Obligations to Close. The obligation of each Party to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the satisfaction of
all conditions precedent to such Party’s obligation to close.

 

(d)          Performance
Conditions. The obligation of Contributor to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the following: (i) the
REIT’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date
of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except to the extent the inaccuracy of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect,
without giving effect to any knowledge based qualifications; (ii) as of the Closing Date, the REIT shall have performed its
obligations hereunder that are to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and all deliveries to be made at or prior to the
Closing Date (including, without limitation, delivery of the Consideration) shall have been tendered; and (iii) the Closing
Date shall be no later than June 30, 2014, unless such date is mutually extended by the Parties. The obligation of REIT to consummate
the Closing shall be contingent upon the following: (x) the Contributor’s representations and warranties contained herein
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except to the extent
the inaccuracy of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, without giving effect to any knowledge based qualifications;
and (y) as of the Closing Date, Contributor shall have performed its obligations hereunder that are to be performed on or
prior to the Closing Date and all deliveries to be made at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been tendered (other than the
failure by Contributor to provide or make available any immaterial document or information in accordance with Section 2.2).

 

(e)          Other
Mutual Conditions. The obligation of the Contributor, on the one hand, and the REIT, on the other hand, to consummate the Closing
shall be contingent upon the following: (i) there shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings,
assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings pending against any other
Party that would have Material Adverse Effect on the operation or value of the Property (or with respect to REIT’s obligation
to close, any of the Companies) or the other Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) all
other conditions set forth in this Agreement to the other Party’s obligation to close shall have been satisfied or waived
in writing by such other Party.

 

(f)          Uncured
Violations. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, there shall be no notice issued after the expiration of the
Due Diligence Period of any material violation or alleged material violation of any applicable Law, with respect to the Property
or any of the Companies, which has not been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of REIT, except where same caused by the actions
of BEMT Springhouse (or its officers, employees or agents).

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

(g)          Failure
of Condition. So long as a Party is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, if any condition
to such Party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing set forth in this Agreement has not been satisfied as of the Closing
Date (as it may have been mutually extended by the Parties), such Party may, in its sole discretion, (i) terminate this Agreement
in whole by delivering written notice to the other Party on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) elect on or before the Closing
Date to effect the Closing, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such Party shall be deemed to
have waived any such condition. Any failure of a Party to make an election on or before the Closing Date under clauses (i) or (ii)

nor any other party to any of the Service Contracts is in default thereunder beyond any applicable notice or cure period.

 

(d)          There
are no pending or, to SOIF’s knowledge, threatened in writing (a) eminent domain proceedings for the condemnation of

which, if decided adversely to Springhouse Titleholder or any of the Companies, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)          Except
as set forth on a Disclosure Schedule: (a) all material licenses or permits necessary to operate the Property in material
compliance with applicable Laws and otherwise as presently operated have been obtained and are in full force and effect and (b)

agency having jurisdiction over the Property that the Property or its use is in material violation of any Law that would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(g)          To
SOIF’s knowledge, and except as may be disclosed on a Disclosure Schedule or in the environmental reports made available

To SOIF’s knowledge, no material default or breach exists under any Loan Document beyond any applicable cure period, nor
does there exist any material default or breach, or any material event or circumstance, which, with the giving of notice or passage
of time, or both, would constitute a material default or breach by Springhouse Titleholder or any other party under any of the
Loan Documents.

 

(j)           Springhouse
Titleholder is the owner of its Personal Property free and clear of all Encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions, and has
not previously assigned its rights in and to its Personal Property except for security interests granted as security for the Loans.
Except as set forth in the Property Information, Springhouse Titleholder does not lease any equipment or other personal property
in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property.

 

(k)          To
SOIF’s knowledge, all vacant rental units at the Property are substantially in rent ready condition, except for units vacant
for routine cleaning or maintenance as is customarily performed by Springhouse Titleholder in the ordinary course of business consistent
with current practices.

 

(l)           Except
as set forth in a Disclosure Schedule, SOIF has not received written notice of any uncured violation of any declaration of covenants,
conditions and restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements or similar instrument governing or affecting the use, operation, maintenance,
management or improvement of all of any portion of the Property (collectively “CCRs”), and to SOIF’s knowledge
Springhouse Titleholder is not in material default under, and the Property is in compliance in all material respects with, all
applicable CCRs. Without limiting the foregoing, to SOIF’s knowledge, Springhouse Titleholder is not in default with respect
to payment of any material contributions or assessments payable by Springhouse Titleholder under any CCRs.

ARTICLE 8. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION
ON LIABILITY

 

8.1 Indemnification
of REIT by SOIF. SOIF shall indemnify, defend and hold REIT, its successors, assigns and Affiliates, including but not
limited to BEMT Springhouse (each a “REIT Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “REIT Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by
any third party against, a REIT Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of SOIF, its agents, employees or contractors
or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of SOIF Springhouse Interests first arising or occurring prior to the Closing;
(b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of SOIF’s representations and warranties set forth herein; or (c) except
as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by SOIF to perform any covenant or obligation set out in this Agreement.

 

8.2 Limitation
on SOIF’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) SOIF
shall not have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.1 unless and until the aggregate amount of such
claims exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration (provided that, once the amount of such claims exceeds
such threshold, SOIF shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall SOIF’s aggregate
liability for claims under Section 8.1 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the value of the Consideration; provided,
however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any loss or liability
arising from any breach of any of SOIF’s Title and Authority Warranties, SOIF’s intentional misconduct or fraudulent
conduct or to SOIF’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2, which liability
and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the provisions of this
Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of REIT with respect to matters which are subject to indemnification by
SOIF under Section 8.1 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being hereby waived.

 

8.3 Pledge Agreement.

 

(a)          On
or before the Closing Date, SOIF shall execute and deliver a pledge agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
D, pursuant to which SOIF’s indemnity obligations contained in Section 8.1 hereof shall be secured by a pledge of
10% of the Consideration, and which pledge will be in full satisfaction of any indemnification obligations of SOIF contained in
Section 8.1 hereof (the “Pledge Agreement”).

 

(b)          Each
of the REIT Indemnified Parties by accepting the benefits of this Agreement hereby designates and appoints REIT as its agent under
the Pledge Agreement, and hereby irrevocably authorizes REIT to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf
under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth therein, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. REIT is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive any provisions of the Pledge Agreement
on behalf of the REIT Indemnified Parties. REIT agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 8.3.
The provisions of this Section 8.3 are solely for the benefit of REIT and the REIT Indemnified Parties, and SOIF shall have
no obligations under or rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties
under the Pledge Agreement, REIT shall act solely as an administrative representative of the REIT Indemnified Parties and does
not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the REIT
Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees.

 

(c)          REIT
shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities to the REIT Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in this
Section 8.3 or in the Pledge Agreement. Neither REIT nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable
to any REIT Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 8.3 or under the Pledge Agreement,
or in connection with this Section 8.3 or the Pledge Agreement, except that REIT shall be obligated on the terms set forth
in this Section 8.3 for performance of its express obligations under the Pledge Agreement. In performing its functions and
duties under the Pledge Agreement, REIT shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with a security interest
in collateral held for its own account, but REIT shall not be responsible to any REIT Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties in the Pledge Agreement or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability
or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or the collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. REIT shall not be required to
make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreement.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(d)          REIT
shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message
or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Section 8.3
and the Pledge Agreement and its duties under this Section 8.3 or the Pledge Agreement, upon advice of counsel selected
by it. REIT shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by
REIT in its sole discretion.

 

8.4 [Reserved]

 

8.5 [Reserved]

 

8.6 Indemnification
of SOIF by REIT. REIT shall indemnify, defend and hold SOIF, its successors, assigns and Affiliates (each a “SOIF
Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “SOIF Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any liability,
claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by any third party against, a SOIF Indemnified
Party arising from any act or omission of the REIT, its assigns (including, but not limited to BEMT Springhouse), its agents, employees
or contractors or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the Springhouse Interests first arising from and after
the Closing; (b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the REIT’s representations and warranties set forth
herein; or (c) except as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by REIT to perform any covenant or
obligation set out in this Agreement.

 

8.7 Limitation
on REIT’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) REIT
shall not have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.6 unless and until the aggregate amount of
such claims exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration (provided that, once the amount of such claims
exceeds such threshold, REIT shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall REIT’s collective
aggregate liability for claims under Section 8.6 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the value of the Consideration;
provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.7 shall not apply to
any loss or liability arising from any breach of any of REIT’s Title and Authority Warranties, REIT’s intentional misconduct
or fraudulent conduct or to REIT’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2,
which liability and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the
provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of SOIF with respect to matters which are subject
to indemnification by REIT under Section 8.6 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being
hereby waived.

 

8.8 Survival.
The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the Closing; provided that claims under clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1,
or clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.6, shall be subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 6.8. For the avoidance
of doubt, the parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding that claims under clause (a) of Section 8.1 or clause (a) of Section
8.6 may not arise out of a breach or inaccuracy of the indemnifying party’s representations or warranties, such claims
are nonetheless subject to the Limitation Period. Any claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or (b) or Section
8.6(a) or (b) not made on or prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period set forth in Section 6.8 shall be irrevocably
and unconditionally waived and released.

the IPO, no Party shall make a public announcement or other disclosure of this Agreement or any information related to this Agreement

consent may not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld so long as such public disclosure is otherwise in compliance with
this Agreement; provided, however, that without the consent of the other Party, a Party may make (i) any public disclosure it reasonably

As Representative of the Several Underwriters

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As an inducement to
the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among Bluerock
Residential Growth REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Bluerock Multifamily Holdings, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and BRG Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Manager”) on the one hand and Wunderlich Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters
named in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Representative”) on the other hand, pursuant to which
an offering will be made for the Class A shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Shares”), the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up
Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Shares (including common and special
units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, the “Common Stock”), enter into a transaction which
would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery
of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer,
sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the
prior written consent of the Representative. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
Representative, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration
of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Common Stock.

 

The “Lock-Up
Period” will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date 180 days after the public
offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Common Stock (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Grant
of Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations, now existing
or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, the Pledgor pledges to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and for the benefit of each

each Indemnified Party subject to the limitations set forth herein, a security interest in the following property (collectively,

Pledged Interests, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto;

 

(b)          any
equity securities of the Pledgee (“Additional Interests”) and/or obligations of the Pledgee in respect of the

    	29

    	 

    

 

(f)          all
proceeds and profits of any or all of the foregoing.

 

Pledgor and Pledgee do hereby acknowledge
and agree that Pledgor shall be entitled, at any time during the Pledge Period, to substitute Cash Collateral for all or any portion
of the Pledged Interests and/or the Additional Interests. Any Cash Collateral shall be held in a segregated account in the name
of both Pledgor and Pledgee (at an institution designated by Pledgee) and shall be released from such account only upon instructions
given by Pledgor and Pledgee, which instructions shall conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.            Delivery
of Certificates and Instruments. The Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee: (a) the original certificates or other instruments
or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests, if any, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (b)
the original certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing all other Collateral (except for Collateral that this Agreement
specifically permits the Pledgor to retain) within ten (10) days after Pledgor’s receipt thereof. All Collateral that is
certificated securities shall be in bearer form or, if in registered form, shall be reflected as being subject to this Agreement
on the books of the transfer agent.

 

3.            Pledgor
Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) the Pledgor shall remain obligated, to the extent set forth
in the agreements (including, without limitation, the Pledgee’s Charter Documents) under which it has received, or has rights
or obligations in respect of its ownership of, the REIT Shares (“Related Agreements”) to perform its duties
and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Pledgee of any
of its rights hereunder shall not release the Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the Related Agreements, except
to the extent that such duties and obligations may have been terminated by reason of a sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral pursuant hereto; and (c) the Pledgee shall not by reason of this Agreement have any obligations or liabilities under
the Related Agreements (beyond those imposed directly on the Pledgee by the express terms therein), nor shall the Pledgee be obligated
to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgor under the Related Agreements or to take any action to collect or enforce
any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

written notice to the Pledgee, and with respect to any such change in address or name or merger or consolidation, Pledgor shall
execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such actions as the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to perfect and

bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of the Pledgor
pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing.

 

(9)           No
consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, as applicable, members and creditors of the Pledgor) and no consent,
license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with,

Collateral) against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Affiliates of Pledgee).

 

(12)        During
the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take any and all commercially

common stock represented by the Pledged Interests.

 

(13)        During
the Pledge Period, the Pledgor will not enter into or assume any other agreement containing a negative pledge with respect to the

    	31

(5)           This

laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by the application of general equitable principles.

 

(6)           The
Pledgee’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (as applicable) any law or regulation, or
any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality binding on Pledgee, or any provision of the Pledgee’s Charter
Documents, or any securities issued by, the Pledgee, and will not conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default

of this Agreement, except for (x) any of same necessary to issue, certificate or register the REIT Shares or (y) the filing of
any financing statements required or contemplated hereunder.

 

5.            Registration.
If any Claim (as defined below) remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice (as
defined below), and provided Pledgee has notified Pledgor in writing of its intention to take any of the actions specified in this
Section 5 and further provided Pledgor has not within three (3) business days from receipt of such written notification substituted
Cash Collateral in the amount of such Outstanding Claim (as defined below) for all (or an applicable portion) of the Pledged Interests
(and/or the Additional Interests), then Pledgee may cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its
name or the name of its nominee or nominees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Pledgee shall not be entitled
to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the Pledged Interests (or the Additional Interests) that is prohibited
by the terms, or would cause a breach or violation, of the Lock-Up Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

6.            Claims;
Value of Collateral. 

 

(a)          Any
claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification under the Contribution Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section 8.1
of the Contribution Agreement. On or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period”),
an Indemnified Party may give written notice (each a “Claim Notice”) to the Pledgor of any Loss that is subject
to indemnification under Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement (each a “Claim”). Pledgor and Pledgee shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Claim within thirty (30) days of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice. Any
Claim that has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Pledgor and Pledgee shall be referred to hereunder as an “Outstanding
Claim”. The amount required to satisfy any Claim shall be disclosed in the Claims Notice, as estimated by the Independent
Directors (as defined below) in their reasonable discretion, and same shall be binding on Pledgor unless manifestly erroneous (such
amount(s) being referred to, individually and collectively, as the “Estimated Claims Amount”).

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

(b)          The
value of Collateral (the “Value”) shall be determined as follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting
of the REIT Shares, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate monetary value of the REIT Shares (determined by the
Share Price on the Closing Date); (ii) for all other non-cash (or non-cash equivalent) Collateral, the fair market value of such
Collateral as determined by the independent directors of the Pledgee who meet the New York Stock Exchange standards of independence
for directors, as determined by the board of directors of the Pledgee (the “Independent Directors”).

 

7.            Voting
Rights and Certain Payments Prior to Occurrence of Secured Obligations and Other Events. 

 

(a)          Unless
and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, in its sole discretion but not inconsistent
with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral
shall be registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee in strict compliance with the terms hereof) execute, or cause to
be executed, from time to time such proxies or other instruments in favor of the Pledgor or its nominee in such form and for such
purposes as shall be reasonably required and specified in writing by the Pledgor, to enable the Pledgor to exercise such voting
power with respect to such Collateral. If a Claim Notice has been properly issued by Pledgee, then the rights granted under this
Paragraph 7(a) shall be exercisable by Pledgee, rather than Pledgor, with respect to Collateral having a Value equal to the Estimated
Claims Amount (the “Claims Pending Collateral”), with Pledgor retaining the rights granted hereunder relating
to all other Collateral.

 

(b)          Unless
and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any
and all regular cash distributions (but not distributions in the form of Additional Interests or other securities, distributions
in kind or liquidating distributions, all of which shall be delivered and applied in accordance with Section 8 hereof) and interest
at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue
of this Agreement. Any of such regular cash distributions or interest paid while any Outstanding Claim exists shall be deemed part
of the Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Collateral.

 

8.            Extraordinary
Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Pledgee, any sum shall
be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral during the Pledge Period, such
sum shall be paid over to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, to be held by the
Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. Any such payment
made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in
or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains held by Pledgee, in which case any
such payment applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter
subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral. In case, during the Pledge Period, any distribution of Additional
Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or Additional Interests or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to
any split involving any of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any shares,
obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification
of the capital of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the merger or consolidation of the Pledgee with or into another entity, the shares, obligations
or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder, and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all
purposes hereof. Any such distribution made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and
the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains
held by Pledgee, in which case any such distribution applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained
Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral. 

 

    	33

    	 

    

 

9.            Pledgor
Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be impaired
by: 

 

(a)          any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Pledgor;

 

(b)          any
amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations provided that
the Pledgor has consented to same (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied);

 

(c)          the
taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination
of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or

 

(d)          the
lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations against the Pledgor or any other person, whether or not the Pledgor shall
have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

 

10.         Voting
Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Claim Notice and Certain Other Events. 

 

(a)          From
and after the issuance of any Claim Notice, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise, or refrain from exercising, all voting power
with respect to, and to otherwise exercise all ownership rights arising from, the Claims Pending Collateral shall cease, and thereupon
the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to such Claims Pending Collateral and otherwise exercise
such ownership rights as though the Pledgee were the outright owner of such Claims Pending Collateral (Pledgor shall retain such
voting power with respect to all other Collateral). If the Independent Directors of the Pledgee reasonably determine that the Estimated
Claims Amount equals or exceeds the Value of the Collateral then available to satisfy such Outstanding Claims, then the Pledgor
shall no longer be the owner of such Collateral for tax purposes and all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain the distributions
and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon
the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all distributions and interest
at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such determination, the
Pledgee gives notice thereof to the Pledgor.

 

(b)          All
payments, distributions or other property or assets that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a)
of this Section 10 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee.

 

11.         Application
of Cash Collateral. Any cash received and retained by the Pledgee as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may
at any time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at its option, in strict accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which such Collateral secures (in the order described in
paragraph 12 below), but only if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder. 

 

12.         Application
of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall
be applied by the Pledgee: first to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, but only if and to the extent any such payment
is required hereunder; and then, to the payment to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

 

13.         Remedies
With Respect to the Collateral. 

 

(a)          If
any Claim remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, then Pledgee, without obligation
to resort to other security, shall have the right at any time and from time to time thereafter to apply, after three (3) business
days’ prior written notice to Pledgor (each an “Application Notice”), Collateral with a Value equal to
the Estimated Claims Amount, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and to receive all right, title and interest,
claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, same to be applied by Pledgee to payment of such Outstanding Claims.

 

    	34

    	 

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, the sole recourse of the Pledgee against the Pledgor
for the Secured Obligations is limited to the rights of the Pledgor in any Collateral that is applied by the Pledgee in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to satisfy such Secured Obligations.

 

(c)          No
demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be required in connection with any transfer of
Collateral to the Pledgee in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Subject
to the provisions of Section 13(b) above, the remedies provided herein in favor of the Pledgee relating to the Collateral shall
not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Pledgee relating
to the Collateral existing at law or in equity.

 

14.         Care
of Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or
as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession. With
respect to any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating to any of the
Collateral (herein called “events”), the Pledgee’s duty shall be fully satisfied if (i) the Pledgee exercises
reasonable care to ascertain the occurrence and to give reasonable written notice to the Pledgor of any events applicable to any
Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Pledgee gives the Pledgor reasonable
written notice of the occurrence of any events, of which the Pledgee has actual knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer
form or are not registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the Pledgor agreeing to give the Pledgee reasonable
written notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to any securities Collateral in the possession of the Pledgor of which
the Pledgor has received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Pledgee endeavors to take such action with respect to any of the events
as the Pledgor may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such action to be evaluated and taken
or (b) if the Pledgee reasonably determines that the action requested might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the collection
of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of the Pledgee, the Pledgee gives reasonable written notice to
the Pledgor that any such requested action will not be taken and if the Pledgee makes such determination or if the Pledgor fails
to make such timely request, the Pledgee takes such other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as hereinabove
specifically set forth, the Pledgee shall have no further obligation, under this Agreement only, to ascertain the occurrence of,
or to notify the Pledgor with respect to, any events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation as a result
of the establishment by the Pledgee of any internal procedures with respect to any Collateral in its possession.

of termination of the Pledge Period, the Pledgee shall have the right to retain, pending resolution of such Outstanding Claim(s)
pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement, and at all times subject to the terms hereof, Collateral equal in Value
to the Estimated Claims Amount (“Retained Collateral”). Solely with respect to such Retained Collateral, the
Pledge Period shall be deemed to continue (an “Extended Pledge Period”) until the earlier to occur of (i) the
ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) the resolution pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Contribution Agreement, of
the Outstanding Claim(s) to which such Retained Collateral relates; provided, however, if any Outstanding Claims remain in existence
on the ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof, then Pledgor shall be required to deliver Replacement Collateral (as defined

required to maintain for the balance of the Survival Period a minimum net worth of not less than $10,000,000.00.

 

(b)          Upon
the termination of the Pledge Period (or the Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor shall be entitled
to, and the Pledgee promptly shall effect, the return to the Pledgor of all of the Collateral (and all other cash or other items
held as additional Collateral hereunder) that has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in strict
accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood, for the sake of clarity, that Collateral not so used or applied shall become
subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the last day of the Pledge Period, except for any Retained Collateral,
which shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the date determined in accordance with Section 20(a)
above). The Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect and evidence the return of Collateral under this Section 20, including,
without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to, and the return to the Pledgor of certificates, if
any, representing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) comprising, such Collateral.

assignment by the Pledgee to the Pledgor of such Collateral shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever
except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4(b) above. Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights or remedies available
to it at law or in equity concerning Pledgee’s performance of its obligations hereunder (or any breach of the representations
or warranties made by Pledgee hereunder).

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Pledgor shall have the right to substitute Cash Collateral for (i) any Pledged
Interests or Additional Interests that are subject to application by Pledgee following issuance of an Application Notice or (ii)
any Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) constituting Retained Collateral (“Replacement Collateral”)
by depositing such Replacement Collateral with the Pledgee (same to be held subject to the Cash Collateral provisions set forth
in Section 1 and elsewhere herein) and instructing the Pledgee to release the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) for which
they are substituted; provided, that as of the date of such substitution, the Value of the Replacement Collateral
shall be equal to or greater than the Estimated Claims Amount. Upon replacement of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests)
with Replacement Collateral meeting the requirements stated above, the Pledgee’s security interest in the replaced Pledged
Interests (or Additional Interests) shall terminate and be released and the Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect
and evidence the return of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination
statements with respect to such Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), and the prompt delivery of the original certifications,
if any, or other instruments or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests). The continuing lien and perfected
security interest granted by the Pledgor to the Pledgee shall automatically apply and attach to and be granted with respect to
the Replacement Collateral and Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such actions as the Pledgee
reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Replacement Collateral.
