CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the Effective Date (defined below), by and among BLUEROCK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY + INCOME FUND II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOIF II”), BLUEROCK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY + INCOME FUND III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOIF III”) (collectively, SOIF II and SOIF III 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 II is a co-manager of, and the owner and holder of a 58.6084% limited liability company interest in, BR VG ▇▇▇ Arbor JV Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BR JV Member”). SOIF III is a co-manager of, and the owner of a 38.6084% limited liability company interest in BR JV Member.

B. BR JV Member is the owner and holder of a 50% limited liability company interest in Village Green of ▇▇▇ Arbor Associates, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Village Green Titleholder”), which is the fee simple owner and holder of the Village Green Property (as defined in Appendix 1.2).

C. Village Green Titleholder is currently managed by two managers, BR JV Member (chosen by itself) and JH Village Green LLC, owner of a .50% interest in Village Green Titleholder (“JH Manager”), chosen by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Equities #11 Limited Partnership, a Michigan limited partnership (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), which owns a 49.50% interest in Village Green Titleholder. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and JH Manager (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities”) are unrelated to SOIF II, SOIF III and BR JV Member.

D. The Village Green Property is managed on a day-to-day basis by Village Green Management Company, LLC (“Property Manager”), an affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

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 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 58.6084% limited liability company interest in the BR JV Member free and clear of Encumbrances (the “SOIF II Village Green Interest”), and SOIF III desires to contribute, and REIT desires to accept the contribution from SOIF III, of all of SOIF III’s right, title and interest in its 38.6084% limited liability company interest in the BR JV Member free and clear of Encumbrances (the “SOIF III Village Green Interest”) (collectively, the SOIF II Village Green Interest and the SOIF III Village Green Interest shall be referred to herein as the “Village Green Interests”), and the parties desire to amend the management structure of BR JV Member in connection therewith, after which both SOIF II and SOIF III shall have no further right, title or interest in BR 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 Village Green Interests by directing the SOIF Parties to convey the Village Green Interests to the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiary, BRG ▇▇▇ Arbor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BRG ▇▇▇ Arbor”), in consideration for which REIT shall issue certain Class “A” unregistered shares of its common stock (collectively, the “REIT Shares”) to Contributors, as provided herein. In consideration of REIT directing SOIF II and SOIF III to convey the Village Green Interests to BRG ▇▇▇ Arbor, 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.

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 Village Green Interests, REIT shall deliver to the Contributors 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 II and SOIF III (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 Village Green 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 Village Green Interests. The contribution and assumption of the Village Green Interests shall be evidenced by the Assignment of Interests (as hereinafter defined).

(b) REIT agrees to deliver to each of the SOIF Parties, a number of REIT Shares (respectively, the “SOIF II Consideration” and the “SOIF III Consideration”) determined using the following formula:

The number of REIT Shares received by each Contributor 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 each Contributor’s indirect equity ownership interest in the Village Green Property, where the total equity of the Village Green Property shall be determined by subtracting the outstanding principal balance of all debt on the Village Green Property from the appraised value of the Village Green Property as established by a third party appraiser within six (6) months of the Closing Date.

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.

(c) At Closing, the REIT shall confer upon the Contributors the benefits of its Registration Rights Agreement, dated on or before the Closing Date (including any supplement thereto into which the Parties shall enter at Closing, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), a copy of which shall be delivered to the Contributors promptly after the execution hereof and shall be thereafter negotiated between the Parties 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, none of the Contributors is 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 ▇▇▇ Arbor, 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). Each such Contributor is aware of the risks involved in investing in the REIT Shares. Each such Contributor 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. Each such Contributor 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. Each Contributor represents and warrants that it has reviewed such documents and information as Contributor has deemed appropriate, and made its own investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the REIT.

Each Contributor 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 each Contributor 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 no Contributor has any present intention to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with respect to any such resale. Each Contributor 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.

Each Contributor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each Contributor acknowledges that the acquisition of the Village Green Interests 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 Village Green Interests to the REIT, and its receipt of the Consideration as consideration therefor, (ii) each Contributor’s 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 Village Green Interests in exchange for the respective Consideration received by 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.

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 Village Green Interests, BR JV Member, Village Green Titleholder (collectively, BR JV Member and Village Green Titleholder shall be referred to herein as the “Companies”) and the Property to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Village Green 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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, Village Green Titleholder, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and Property Manager harmless from any liens arising out of its inspections as well as any claims asserted by third parties against Contributors, Village Green Titleholder, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities or Property Manager (other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Contributors, Village Green Titleholder, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and 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 Contributors, Village Green Titleholder, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities 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 Contributors a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and naming Village Green 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, 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 Village Green Interests, the Companies and the Property. Information concerning the Property shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Property Information”, and information concerning the Village Green 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 Village Green 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 Village Green Interests and the Property subject to any Objections (other than Mandatory Cure Items), and proceed to close as to all of the Village Green 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 Village Green 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 Village Green 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 Village Green Interests or the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit, negotiate or accept any offers to sell all or any part of the Village Green 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 Village Green Titleholder or BR 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 Village Green 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. 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 Village Green Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Any such action taken by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Village Green Interests, whether in possession of Contributors or any of their 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 Village Green 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 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Voekler ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, PLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, 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 Village Green 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.

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 ▇▇▇ Arbor), its agents, employees or contractors or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the Village Green 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.

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 Village Green Titleholder’s Loan is further secured by a guaranty of payment and performance made jointly by the SOIF Parties (the “Guaranty”); and, at Closing, the REIT shall either (a) cause the Guaranty to be terminated and the SOIF Parties to be released from all further liability thereunder (which release may be conditioned upon the REIT’s provision of replacement guaranties) 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, BR JV Member or the Village Green 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.

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.

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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).

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,

(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.

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.

(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.

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 available to, or a discharge of the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement.

19. Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay the Pledgee all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgee (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any provisions of this Agreement. Pledgee agrees to pay the Pledgor all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgor (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any obligations of Pledgee hereunder.

20. End of Pledge Period; Return of Collateral.

(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).

(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.

However, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve such assignee/transferee of those duties and obligations of the Pledgee specified hereunder.

26. Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Pledgor and the Pledgee and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent holders of the Secured Obligations.
