SENIOR MEZZANINE COMPLETION GUARANTY
This Senior Mezzanine Completion Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is entered into as of September 29, 2006, jointly and severally by CFP Residential L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Kenneth Valach, an individual, J. Ronald Terwilliger, an individual and Bruce Hart, an individual (collectively, the “Guarantor”) for the benefit of Behringer Harvard Alexan Nevada, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and/or any subsequent holder of the Note (the “Lender”).
RECITALS
A.
SW 109 Wagon Wheel SM LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Borrower”) has requested
that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of Six Million Nine Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($6,900,000) (the “Loan”). The Loan will be
evidenced by a Promissory Note from Borrower to Lender dated as of the date of
this Guaranty (the “Note”). The Note will be secured by a
Pledge and Security Agreement dated the same date as the Note made by Borrower
in favor of Lender (the “Security Instrument”).
B.
The Loan is being made to finance the
purchase by SW 106 Wagon Wheel Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Property Owner”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Borrower, of certain real property (the “Property”), as more
particularly described in the Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this
Guaranty between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”) and to
facilitate the construction of a 213 unit apartment project on the Property to
be known as the Alexan at Nevada State Drive (the “Project).
C.
The Project is to be constructed in
accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions and requirements of,
the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents.
D.
As a condition to making the Loan to
Borrower, Lender requires that the Guarantor execute this Guaranty. Guarantor
has an economic interest in Borrower or will otherwise obtain a material
financial benefit from the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, the Guarantor hereby agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably as follows:
1.
Defined Terms. “Indebtedness” and other
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.
2.
Guaranty.
a)
Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender,
upon written demand by Lender, at Lender’s option and in its sole
discretion, that Guarantor will (i) complete the Project substantially in
accordance with the plans and specifications for the Project, as modified from
time to time as allowed by the Loan Agreement (the “Plans and
Specifications”) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents if, for any reason, or under any
contingency, Property Owner shall abandon construction of the Project or shall
fail to complete the Project within the construction time set forth in the Loan
Agreement and Loan
1
Documents and (ii) pay all cost overruns for construction of the Project to the extent Borrower or Property Owner fails to do so; provided that Lender shall reimburse Guarantor for all costs incurred by Guarantor in completing the Project (provided that such completion costs are included in the Project Budget (as defined below) to the extent such costs do not constitute cost overruns. In the preceding sentence, “cost overruns” means costs of constructing the Project that, in the aggregate, exceed the amount provided in the budget attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Project Budget”). All amounts reimbursed to Guarantor by Lender in accordance with this Section 2(a) shall correspondingly increase the amount of Loan to Borrower and shall be payable by Borrower to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Project will be deemed substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications upon the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy, the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion from the Property Owner’s architect, receipt of a contractor’s release and the receipt of lien waivers or similar evidence of payment from the general contractor and all major subcontractors (i.e., subcontractors whose contract amount exceeds $100,000) to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, provided, however, that if Senior Lender shall deem the Project substantially complete then Lender shall deem the Project substantially complete (“Completion”).
b)
Without limiting the rights and remedies
of Lender, if after the occurrence of an Event of Default and after Lender has
so requested, Guarantor does not proceed with and diligently prosecute
Completion of the Project in accordance with the Loan Agreement, then Lender
may, at its option, without notice to Guarantor or anyone else, complete the
Project either before or after commencement of foreclosure proceedings, and
either on or before the exercise of any other right or remedy of Lender against
Borrower or Guarantor, with such changes to the Plans and Specifications that
Lender deems necessary or advisable to complete the Project and Guarantor waives
any right to contest such necessary expenditures. The amount of any and all
expenditures made by Lender for the foregoing purposes, to the extent they
exceed the unexpended portion of the Project Budget shall bear interest from
the date made until repaid to Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the interest
rate provided for in the Note and, together with such interest, shall be due
and payable by Guarantor to Lender upon demand. Lender does not have and shall
never have any obligation to complete the Project or take such action.
c)
In addition to the foregoing, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any of the Loan
Documents, Guarantor hereby further guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment
of all principal, interest and other amounts due and owing by Borrower under
the Note, the Security Instrument and any other Loan Document from and after
the filing of a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of Property
Owner, or Borrower prior to Completion.

3.
Survival. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of
any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security
Instrument.
4.
Guaranty of Performance and Payment. Guarantor’s performance and payment
obligations under this Guaranty constitute a guaranty of performance and
payment and not merely a guaranty of collection.
5.
Present, Unconditional and Irrevocable
Guaranty; Waivers. The obligations of
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be performed without demand by Lender,
other than as provided herein and shall be present, unconditional, absolute and
irrevocable irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan
Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. This Guaranty shall
be effective as a waiver of, and Guarantor expressly waives, any and all rights
to which Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled under any suretyship laws
in effect from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in
collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all
notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by
statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender’s rights against
Guarantor under this Guaranty, including notice of acceptance, notice of any
amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or
Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the
incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness. Guarantor also waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to require Lender to (a)
proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower’s payment or
performance with respect to the Indebtedness (an “Other Guarantor”),
(b) if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership, proceed against any
general partner of Borrower or the Other Guarantor, (c) proceed against or
exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the
Indebtedness, or (d) pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have
against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of
Borrower.

times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of
Guarantor, (a) the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the

part; (b) the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any
covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter
entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived;
(c) the maturity of the Indebtedness may be accelerated as provided in the
Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document; (d) the Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document may be
modified or amended by Lender and Borrower in any respect, including an
increase in the principal amount; and (e) any security for the Indebtedness may
be modified, exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional
security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness.

7.
Joint and Several Guaranty. If more than one person executes this Guaranty, the
obligations of those persons under this Guaranty shall be joint and several.
Lender, in its discretion, may (a) bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or
more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, and any Other Guarantor, jointly
and severally, or against any one or more of them; (b) compromise or settle
with any one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any Other
Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper; (c) release one or
more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any Other Guarantor, from
liability; and (d) otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or
any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the
rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor
under this Guaranty. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way
affect or impair the rights or obligations of Guarantor with respect to any
Other Guarantor.
8.
Subordination. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now
or in the future (including but not limited to (i) all debts and liabilities of
Borrower to Guarantor whether the obligations of Borrower are direct,
contingent, primary, secondary, joint and several or otherwise, whether the
obligations are evidenced by note, contract, open account or otherwise and
irrespective of the creation of such debts or liabilities or manner acquired by
Guarantor, (ii) any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or
insolvency proceedings referred to below and (iii) all liens, security
interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances on Borrower’s
assets securing payment thereof) is and shall be subordinated to the
Indebtedness, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, but without
reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other
provisions of this Guaranty, except to the extent that such amounts are
actually applied toward Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents,
Guarantor shall not receive, or collect, directly or indirectly any amount in
connection with the foregoing. If any amount is received by Guarantor on such
indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor at the time an Event of Default
exists, it shall be received by Guarantor in trust, as trustee for Lender, and
Guarantor agrees to pay such amounts promptly to Lender. In the event of
receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or
insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall have the
right to prove its claims in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights
hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver,
trustee or other custodian (whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends and
payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now
existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security
therefor, until the Indebtedness has been fully and finally paid and performed.
Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be
operative without the necessity of execution of any further documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the request of Lender, Guarantor hereby
agrees to execute of a subordination agreement, in form and content reasonably
acceptable to Lender, evidencing the provisions of this Section 8.
9.
Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Any right or claim for subrogation or reimbursement
against Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, is
subordinated to the Indebtedness on the terms provided in Section 8 above,
whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or
statute.

10.
No Discharge of Guarantor. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a
preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, or if
for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such
refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty.
11.
Financial Statements. Guarantor agrees that, until Completion, Guarantor
will provide to Lender no later than December 31 of each year a Collateral
Value Statement for each of the Persons constituting Guarantor dated as of the
preceding June 30, in each case accompanied by a certificate executed by the Person
to whom such Collateral Value Statement relates certifying that, to the
knowledge of such Person, the Collateral Value Statement fairly presents the
collateral value of the assets shown in such Collateral Value Statement

Statements, dated as of June 30, 2005, provided for each Guarantor.
