(1) The Secured Debentures will be offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis by broker-dealers (the “Selling Group”), who are members of the Financial Industry

Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Orchard Securities, LLC will act as Dealer-Manager for the Offering, and will receive a Dealer-Manager Fee of up to 1.25% (“Dealer-Manager Fee”) of the gross proceeds of the Offering (“Gross Proceeds”), selling commissions of up to 6.5% of the Gross Proceeds (“Selling Commissions”), and a nonaccountable marketing and due diligence allowance of up to 1.0% of the Gross Proceeds (“Allowances”). The amount of Selling Commissions will be increased or reduced, however, if a lower or higher commission rate is negotiated with a member of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may reallow the Selling Commissions, and up to 1.0% of the Allowances on a nonaccountable basis, to the Selling Group for their sales of Secured Debentures. Of the Dealer-Manager Fee, up to 0.75% of the Gross Proceeds will be reallowed to registered representatives which may be affiliates of Bluerock for marketing costs related to this Offering, including payments to Bluerock’s internal and external wholesalers. The total aggregate amount of the Dealer-Manager Fee, Selling Commissions and Allowances (“Selling Compensation”) will not exceed 8.75% of the Gross Proceeds. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may sell Secured Debentures net of some or all of the Selling Compensation, to persons purchasing through a registered investment adviser or to affiliates and “friends and family” of Bluerock, the Trust and members of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may sell Secured Debentures as part of the Selling Group, thereby becoming entitled to Selling Commissions and Allowances. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Estimated Use of Proceeds.”

(2) Amounts shown are proceeds after deducting Selling Compensation, but before deducting organization, marketing and other expenses incurred in connection with the Offering (“Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses”). Bluerock will receive a fixed fee of 1.75% of the Gross Proceeds to cover Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses incurred by it and advanced on behalf of the Trust. Bluerock will be solely responsible to pay for all Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses, but will be entitled to retain any unused portion of the fee on a nonaccountable basis. See “Estimated Use of Proceeds” and “Compensation and Fees.”

(3) The minimum purchase is $50,000 in principal amount of the Secured Debentures and is payable in cash upon subscription. The Trust has the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the minimum purchase requirement.

(4) Following completion of the Minimum Offering Amount and the break of escrow and distribution of proceeds by the Escrow Agent, the Offering will continue in the Trust’s discretion until the earlier of (i) the date that subscriptions for the Maximum Offering Amount ($25,000,000) have been received and accepted (subject to the Trust’s sole discretion to increase the Offering to $35,000,000 of Secured Debentures, without further notice), or (ii) April 30, 2010 (subject to the Trust’s sole discretion to extend the Offering for two six-month periods, without further notice) (“Offering Termination Date”).

(5) The Maximum Offering Amount is subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the sole discretion of the Trust. The Selling Compensation, if the increased Maximum Offering Amount is sold, would be a maximum of $3,062,500.

The mailing address of the Trust is c/o Bluerock Real Estate, LLC, 680 5th Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019. The telephone number of the Trust is (888) 558-1031. The Secured Debentures offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of states, and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws. The Secured Debentures are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act and such laws pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Prospective Investors should be aware that they will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time. In making an investment decision, Investors must rely on their own examination of the Trust and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved.

The Securities Act and the securities laws of certain jurisdictions grant purchasers of securities sold in violation of the registration or qualification provisions of such laws the right to rescind their purchase of such securities and to receive back the consideration paid. The Trust believes that the Offering of the Secured Debentures described in this Memorandum is not required to be registered or qualified. Many of these laws granting the right of rescission also provide that suits for such violations must be brought within a specified time, usually one year from discovery of facts constituting such violation and three years from the violation. Should any investor institute such an action on the theory that the Offering conducted as described herein was required to be registered or qualified, the Trust contends that the contents of this Memorandum constituted notice of the facts constituting such violation.

The Secured Debentures have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. No person has been authorized to give any information or make any representations other than those contained in this Memorandum, and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been given by the Trust. This Memorandum does not constitute an offer or solicitation nor will there be any sale of Secured Debentures in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is not authorized, or in which the person making such an offer is not qualified to do so, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make an offer, solicitation or sale. Neither the information contained herein, nor any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent communication should be construed by the prospective Investor as legal, tax or financial advice. Each prospective Investor should consult his own legal, tax and financial advisers to ascertain the merits and risks of the transactions described herein prior to purchasing the Secured Debentures.

This Memorandum is intended solely for the use of the person to whom it has been delivered by the Trust or its authorized representative for the purpose of evaluating a possible investment by the recipient in the Secured Debentures described herein, and is not to be reproduced or distributed to any other persons (other than professional advisors of the prospective Investor receiving this document from the Company or its authorized representative). Acceptance of this Memorandum by prospective Investors constitutes an agreement to be bound by the foregoing terms.

Agreement and the Security Documents, copies of which will be made available upon request and should be reviewed prior to purchasing a Secured Debenture. Statements in this Memorandum are made as of the date of this Memorandum unless stated otherwise, and neither the delivery of this Memorandum at any time, nor any sale hereunder, shall under any circumstance create an implication that the information contained herein is correct as of any other time subsequent to such date.

Treasury Department Circular 230 Notice. To ensure compliance with Circular 230, prospective Investors are hereby notified that: Any discussion of federal tax issues contained or referenced in this Memorandum is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by prospective Investors for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on them under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); such discussion is written in connection with the promotion and marketing by the Trust of the transactions or matters addressed in this Memorandum; and prospective Investors should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS

The securities referred to in this Memorandum have not been registered under the Florida Securities Act. If sales are made to five or more investors in Florida, any Florida investor may, at his option, void any purchase hereunder within a period of three days after he (a) first tenders or pays to the Trust, an agent of the Trust, or an escrow agent the consideration required hereunder or (b) delivers his executed Subscription Agreement, whichever occurs later. To accomplish this, it is sufficient for a Florida investor to send a letter or telegram to the Trust within such three day period, stating that he is voiding and rescinding the purchase. If any purchaser sends a letter, it is prudent to do so by certified mail, return receipt requested, to ensure that the letter is received and to evidence the time of mailing.

FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS Neither the fact that a registration statement or an application for a license has been filed under Chapter 421-B of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes with the State of New Hampshire nor the fact that a security is effectively registered or a person is licensed in the State of New Hampshire constitutes a finding by the Secretary of State that any document filed under RSA-421-B is true, complete and not misleading. Neither any such fact nor the fact that an exemption or exception is available for a security or a transaction means that the Secretary of State has passed in any way upon the merits or qualifications of, or recommended or given approval to, any person, security or transaction. It is unlawful to make, or cause to be made, to any prospective purchaser, customer, or client any representation inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph.

Summary of the Offering The following describes certain material terms of the Offering: The Securities

Securities Offered: The securities being offered hereby are the Secured Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000,000, subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the sole discretion of the Trust. The Secured Debentures are secured by the Trust’s assets, among other collateral, and will be issued subject to the Collateral Agency Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto. See “Description of the Secured Debentures and Summary of the Collateral Agency Agreement” below.

Interest Rate: The Secured Debentures will bear non-compounded interest at the annual rate of 9.0% per

Risks: Even though the Secured Debentures are secured, an investment in the Secured Debentures involves significant risks, including loss of principal. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 for a complete discussion of the risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

• the Trust is newly formed and has limited capital; • the Trust has not yet specifically approved any Qualified Loans; • Investors will rely entirely on the Trust to identify and make the Qualified

Loans, which will be necessary to generate the income required to meet the Trust’s operating expenses and payment obligations under the Secured Debentures;

• risks inherent in the real estate projects securing the Qualified Loans; • significant conflicts of interest among the Trust, Bluerock and their

affiliates, which may become borrowers of Qualified Loans; • risks of further national, regional and local economic downturn; • risks in connection with financing markets, which may make it impossible or

prohibitively expensive for borrowers to service or refinance their Qualified Loans;

• substantial limitations on an Investor’s ability to transfer its rights in and to the Secured Debentures, which are generally illiquid;

• the Trust may issue additional debt on a pari passu basis with the Secured Debentures, and which is also secured by the Collateral ;

• risks related to “best efforts” offerings; and • the Secured Debentures are not a diversified investment.

Restrictions on Transferability:

Transferability of the Secured Debentures is restricted by the terms thereof as well as by federal and state securities laws. An investment in the Secured Debentures should not be made by any person who cannot hold the Secured Debentures for an extended if not indefinite period.

Investor Suitability Requirements:

This Offering is strictly limited to Accredited Investors (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act) who meet certain minimum financial and other requirements. The Trust, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to approve or disapprove each prospective Investor.

The Trust

Organization:

The Trust is a Delaware limited liability company formed in April 2009. Bluerock is the sole member of the Trust. BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust Manager, LLC, an affiliate of Bluerock, is manager of the Trust (the “Manager”). The principal executive offices of the Trust and Manager are located at c/o Bluerock Real Estate, LLC, 680 Fifth Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10019, and its telephone number is (888) 558-1031.

“Single Purpose Entity” The Trust is a “single purpose entity” which will be operated solely to make Qualified

Loans. Additional Indebtedness: The Trust may not issue any indebtedness senior to the Secured Debentures in right of

payment or as to the Collateral. However, the Trust may issue additional debt in the future, including additional series of secured debentures, that is pari passu in right of payment to the Secured Debentures. Any Collateral securing the Secured Debentures will likely serve as collateral for such new debt, if issued.

Bluerock: Bluerock focuses on acquiring, managing, developing and syndicating multifamily and

commercial real estate properties throughout the United States. Bluerock and its principals have sponsored and structured real estate transactions totaling approximately 25 million square feet and with approximately $3 billion in value. Bluerock principals have an average of approximately 20 years experience in the finance and real estate fields including financing, development, construction, acquisition, disposition and management of properties.

Underwriting Criteria: The Trust will be solely responsible for sourcing, underwriting and closing all Qualified Loans. The Trust will generally require and impose upon each prospective borrower the same loan underwriting process as would be normally required and imposed by an arms-length commercial mortgage lender. The Trust will act through an investment committee consisting of two or more members appointed by the Trust, of which the Bluerock’s Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer, James G. Babb, III, shall be initially appointed as the Chairman (the “Investment Committee”). In addition to other underwriting criteria, the Trust may not make any Qualified Loan unless it will be secured by a first position mortgage or deed of trust on the borrower’s property and, when made, the gross loan proceeds do not exceed 75% of the value of such property (the “Maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio”). To underwrite the “value” of the property(ies) being offered to the Trust to secure a prospective Qualified Loan, the Trust and its Investment Committee may for all purposes rely upon the appraised value as provided in an appraisal report prepared by a nationally or regionally prominent MAI-certified appraiser (i.e., by a good standing Member of the Appraisal Institute), dated within 60 days of the date of the loan closing (a “Current MAI Appraisal”). In addition, no Qualified Loan may have an initial maturity longer than six months, provided however, in the sole discretion of the Trust, the maturity date may be extended for an additional six months, if at the time of extension, the Qualified Loan is in good standing and free from defaults. In order to further extend, the Qualified Loan must be entirely re-underwritten, including obtaining a new Current MAI Appraisal to confirm that it does not violate the Trust’s Maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio requirement (or additional equity or collateral must be contributed by the borrower to bring the Qualified Loan into conformance).

Trust Account: Upon attaining the Minimum Offering Amount for the Offering, the Trust will deposit all

Gross Proceeds received by it or the Escrow Agent into a trust account established for the benefit of the Investors (the "Trust Account”). The Trust will only withdraw and disburse funds from the Trust Account for the purposes of:

• funding and servicing the Qualified Loans;

• the application of the Gross Proceeds as described herein;

• expenditures as permitted under the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Trust;

• making payments of interest and principal to the holders of the Secured Debentures, as and when due, whether as scheduled or due to acceleration; provided, that the Trust may disburse funds to a separate interest account to facilitate such payments; and

• distributions of Trust profits to Bluerock. Unless and until the Collateral Agent provides notice to the Trust that a Triggering Event has occurred, the Trust shall have the right to access the Trust Account, including the rights of deposit, withdrawal and disbursement discussed above. Upon notice of a Triggering Event, the Trust will have no right to access the Trust Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all interest earned on amounts held in the Trust Account pending disbursement shall be retained by the Trust in the Trust Account.

The Collateral, Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agency Agreement Collateral Agency Agreement:

The Secured Debentures will be issued subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, pursuant to which they will be secured as provided therein. Each Investor will become a party to the Collateral Agency Agreement upon the Trust’s acceptance of its Subscription Agreement. See “Form of Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement” attached as Exhibit B hereto.

Page 11: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

Collateral and Security Documents:

In accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Secured Debentures will be secured by (the “Collateral”):

• a pledge by Bluerock of all membership interests in the Trust and the Manager (the “Bluerock Collateral”),

• a pledge by the Trust of all of its assets, including bank accounts (the “Trust Collateral”), and

• a collateral assignment by the Trust of all Trust’s rights in the first mortgages and deeds of trust and related collateral which the Trust will receive as security for its Qualified Loans (the “Loan Collateral”), which at a minimum shall include (i) all borrower promissory notes, (ii) all mortgages and deeds of trust secured by the underlying properties (which shall be recorded contemporaneous with each closing), (iii) all mortgagee title insurance policies, on which the Collateral Agent shall be named an additional insured (“Mortgagee Title Insurance Policies”) and (iv) such other and additional loan documents and security instruments as an independent commercial mortgage lender would normally require at the closing of a similar loan (collectively, with the borrower promissory notes, first mortgages and Mortgagee Title Insurance Policies, the “Loan Documents”), and a pledge of the borrower promissory note for each Qualified Loan.

The documents memorializing the granting of such security interests in the Collateral to secure payment of interest on and repayment of principal of the Secured Debentures are referred to hereafter as the “Security Documents.” See “Form of Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement,” “Form of Pledge and Security Agreement by Bluerock,” and “Form of Pledge and Security Agreement by the Trust,” attached as exhibits hereto.

Collateral Agent: The Collateral will be segregated and held in trust by an independent third-party (the

“Collateral Agent”), so the Collateral Agent may directly foreclose on some or all of the Collateral upon an Event of Default (as defined below) under the Secured Debentures and written instructions are given by the Investors to do so (see “Triggering Event” below). Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO, a Nebraska professional corporation, will serve as the initial Collateral Agent.

Monitoring Agreement: The Trust will also engage Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO (in such capacity, the

“Monitor”) to provide certain investment monitoring services under a Monitoring Services Engagement Letter (the “Monitoring Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto. Pursuant to the Monitoring Agreement, the Monitor will have direct access to relevant information from and with respect to the Trust, the Qualified Loans and the Collateral, about which the Monitor may communicate directly with Investors and the Selling Group to keep them independently apprised of the status of same. Bluerock believes the Monitoring Agreement will provide transparency to the Trust and its business and enhance the Collateral Agent’s ability to discover, and deal proactively with the Company to cure, any Event of Default to the benefit of Investors. The Monitor will also serve as Collateral Agent.

Events of Default: Events of default under each Secured Debenture (each, an “Event of Default”) include: (1)

a failure to pay interest when due, if such default continues for 30 days after the applicable interest payment date; (2) a failure to repay principal at the maturity date or by declaration of acceleration, notice of redemption or otherwise, as applicable; (3) an event of bankruptcy with respect to the Trust; or (4) a breach by the Trust in any material respect, after applicable grace periods, if any, of (a) the Collateral Agency Agreement, (b) any Secured Debenture; (c) any Security Documents, or (d) the “single purpose entity” provisions of its Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement. A default under a Qualified Loan will not be an Event of Default under the Secured

Page 12: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

6

Debentures. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Debentures will thereupon (until cured, if curable) accrue interest at a default rate, 2.0% in excess of the then-current interest rate on the Secured Debentures; provided however, any such Event of Default (other than a failure to pay interest or principal) may be waived by a vote of Investors holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding any Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust), and any such waiver will bind all Investors.

Triggering Event A Triggering Event, under the Collateral Agency Agreement, shall occur upon (1) the

occurrence and continuing existence of an Event of Default and (2) an affirmative vote by Investors holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding any Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust), giving the Collateral Agent written notice of their intention to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the Investors’ rights and remedies under the Collateral Agency Agreement, any Secured Debenture or any Security Document. As soon as practicable after the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall cause a notice to be issued to Investors seeking their affirmative vote to declare that a Triggering Event has occurred and, if not declared, may in its discretion cause the issuance of similar notices, but only during the pendency of an Event of Default and not more frequently than every 90 days. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, with respect to any enforcement action to be taken against the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall follow the instructions of Investors holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust). Following a Triggering Event, all proceeds collected by the Collateral Agent shall be deposited in a separate cash collateral account which shall be opened and owned by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Investors (the “Cash Collateral Account”). In the absence of a Triggering Event, the Trust will be able to freely access the Trust Account for the purposes described herein. Upon a Triggering Event, the Trust will not be able to access this account.

Redemption: The Secured Debentures may be redeemed by the Trust, in its sole discretion, in whole or

in part, at any time upon at least 30 days notice to the Investors after December 31, 2010, without premium or penalty. If less than all the Secured Debentures are to be redeemed, the Secured Debentures will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Secured Debentures called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest, or, if less than all of the Secured Debentures are being redeemed, the pro rata portion thereof.

Reporting: The Trust shall provide Investors with statements of their accounts on a quarterly basis

detailing their interest earned during the prior quarterly period and the then outstanding principal balance of the Secured Debentures. The Trust shall also provide an unaudited, annual financial statement of the Trust (within 120 days from the end of the calendar year) at the request of the Investor or their financial advisor. Investors will also be sent an IRS form 1099-INT within 30 days after the end of each calendar year.

Book Entry Only: The Secured Debentures will be held in “book-entry” form. Physical certificates of the

Secured Debentures will be not be available to Investors except as necessary and only upon their specific written request.

Page 13: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

Liquidation: During each year, Investors, or their representatives, may submit to the Trust in writing,

within 90 days from the end of the calendar year, a request for liquidation of their Secured Debentures at the following liquidation price (expressed as percentages of outstanding principal amount), plus accrued interest to the liquidation date:

Year Percentage

2010 94% 2011 96%

2012 98% 2013 100%

2014* 100%

* assumes that the Trust exercises its extension option.

No more than 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds may be liquidated in any one year, provided, however, that the Trust may elect to honor liquidation requests in excess of 5.0% in its sole and absolute discretion. If Investors request liquidation of more than 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds in any one year, and the Trust has elected not to honor the full amount of the liquidation requests in excess of 5.0%, the liquidation amount will be paid to such Investors in the order the liquidation requests were received by the Trust, based on the date of postmark, or, if similar postmarks, the date of initial investment in the Secured Debentures, until an amount equal to 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds, or such other amount in excess of 5.0% that the Trust has elected to honor, has been liquidated. An Investor’s investment in Secured Debentures may not be liquidated in part. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, there is no right of liquidation of the Secured Debentures, except in the event of (1) an Investor’s death or debilitating disability, and (2) the Trust’s consent to do so, in its sole and absolute discretion.

Plan of Distribution Minimum Purchase: The Secured Debentures are being issued with a minimum investment of $50,000 and in

additional denominations of $1,000; however, the Trust has the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the minimum purchase requirement.

Minimum Offering Amount:

The Minimum Offering Amount of the Secured Debentures is $500,000. If subscriptions for the Minimum Offering Amount have not been accepted by the Trust by September 30, 2009 (which may be extended to December 31, 2009, in the sole discretion of the Trust), none of the Secured Debentures will be sold and the amount paid by the prospective Investors will be promptly returned in full, together with any interest earned while in escrow. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Offering Termination Date:

The Trust will offer Secured Debentures until the earlier of the date on which the $25,000,000 has been raised (or $35,000,000, if the Trust elects to increase the Maximum Offering Amount) or April 30, 2010 (which may be extended in the Trust’s discretion for up to two additional six month terms, to April 30, 2011 at the latest).

Dealer-Manager and Selling Group:

The Secured Debentures will be offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis by broker-dealers (the “Selling Group”), who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Orchard Securities, LLC will act as Dealer-Manager for the Offering, and will receive a Dealer-Manager Fee of up to 1.25% (“Dealer-Manager Fee”) of the gross proceeds of the Offering (“Gross Proceeds”), selling commissions of up to 6.5% of the Gross Proceeds (“Selling Commissions”), and a nonaccountable marketing and due diligence allowance of up to 1.0% of the Gross Proceeds (“Allowances”). The amount of Selling Commissions will be increased or reduced, however, if a lower or higher commission rate is negotiated with a member of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager

Page 14: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

may reallow the Selling Commissions, and up to 1.0% of the Allowances on a nonaccountable basis, to the Selling Group for their sales of Secured Debentures. Of the Dealer-Manager Fee, up to 0.75% of the Gross Proceeds will be reallowed to registered representatives which may be affiliates of Bluerock for marketing costs related to this Offering, including payments to Bluerock’s internal and external wholesalers. The total aggregate amount of the Dealer-Manager Fee, Selling Commissions and Allowances (“Selling Compensation”) will not exceed 8.75% of the Gross Proceeds. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may sell Secured Debentures net of some or all of the Selling Compensation, to persons purchasing through a registered investment adviser or to affiliates and “friends and family” of Bluerock, the Trust and members of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may sell Secured Debentures as part of the Selling Group, thereby becoming entitled to Selling Commissions and Allowances. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Estimated Use of Proceeds.”

Compensation Organizational costs and offering expenses to Bluerock:

Bluerock will receive a fixed fee of 1.75% of the Gross Proceeds to cover Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses incurred by it and advanced on behalf of the Trust. Bluerock will be solely responsible to pay for any Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses, but will be entitled to retain any unused portion of the fee on a nonaccountable basis. Based on this fee, Bluerock will receive $437,500 if the Maximum Offering Amount is sold, and $612,500 if the increased Maximum Offering Amount is sold.

Dealer-Manager Fee: Individuals that are Affiliates of the Trust (including external and internal wholesalers of

Bluerock) may earn and be entitled to a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fee. Potential Profits and Fees:

Bluerock is the sole member of the Trust and therefore may be entitled to receive or retain profits (i) from operations so long as the Secured Debentures are being paid as and when due and are not otherwise in default, and/or (ii) upon liquidation or dissolution, after the Secured Debentures have been paid in full. In addition, Bluerock or its affiliates may earn fees, profits or other compensation from real estate transactions for which Bluerock may act as a sponsor, or in which it or its affiliates may own equity, and which have been financed in whole or in part with Qualified Loans from the net proceeds of this Offering.

RISK FACTORS An investment in the Secured Debentures is speculative and is suitable only for persons who are able to evaluate the risks of the investment. An investment in the Secured Debentures should be made only by persons able to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. In addition to the factors set forth elsewhere in this Memorandum and general investment risks, prospective Investors should consider the following risks before making a decision to purchase the Secured Debentures. Risks Related to the Trust and the Secured Debentures

New Venture. The Trust is a new entity with no operating history. Although the management of Bluerock will be involved in the operation of the Trust and has extensive experience in real estate investments and debt financing programs, the Trust is a recently formed business and is subject to the risks involved with any speculative new venture. No assurance can be given that the Trust will be profitable or able to perform its obligations under the Secured Debentures. There is no assurance that the cash flow, profits or capital of the Trust will be sufficient to pay all interest and repay principal on the Secured Debentures in a timely manner or at all. Although the Secured Debentures are secured by Bluerock’s pledge of its membership interests in the Trust and the Manager and the Trust’s pledge of its assets, there is no assurance that the assets underlying such collateral will be sufficient to fully satisfy the Trust’s obligations under the Secured Debentures.

No Qualified Loans have been specifically identified. The Trust has no operating history. The Trust should be considered a “blind pool” because it has not made any Qualified Loans and, notwithstanding the potential borrowers identified in this Memorandum, has not specifically identified or committed to any Qualified Loans that will be made with the net proceeds from the Offering. You will be unable to evaluate the economic merits of a Qualified Loan prior to the Trust’s investment. The Trust may make Qualified Loans that render it unable to perform its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

Reliance on Management. All decisions regarding management of the Trust’s business will be made exclusively by the Manager of the Trust, which is an affiliate of Bluerock, and all investment decisions on behalf of the Trust with regard to making Qualified Loans will be made by an Investment Committee selected by Bluerock. Investors will have no power or authority regarding any of the Trust’s management or operations. Accordingly, you should not invest in the Secured Debentures unless you are willing to entrust all aspects of management to others, as noted above and as more specifically provided for in the Trust’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement. Investors will rely upon the Trust, Bluerock and their affiliates to invest the net proceeds of this Offering by making Qualified Loans. You should carefully evaluate the experience of Bluerock and its management before deciding to invest in the Secured Debentures. Note further that, except as specifically provided in the Memorandum, Bluerock may retain independent contractors to provide various services to the Trust. None of Bluerock, its management or any independent contractor will have a fiduciary duty to the Investors.

In addition, the Manager and Investment Committee will determine whether to reinvest proceeds from a

Qualified Loan into a new Qualified Loan. If the Trust’s Qualified Loans are not paid back prior to the maturity date of the Secured Debentures, the Trust will likely not be able to perform its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

The Trust will not have any significant assets other than its rights under the Qualified Loans, which

will be the sole source of income to the Trust. Consequently, Investors will be required to rely and depend upon payments made on or in respect of the Qualified Loans for the payment of interest on and principal of the Secured Debentures. If payments pursuant to the Qualified Loans are insufficient to make the payments of interest or principal on the Secured Debentures when due, the Trust may not have any assets from which to pay any deficiency. In this regard, prospective Investors should note that the Trust will make Qualified Loans with the net (and not gross) proceeds of this Offering, and thus, the Qualified Loans must provide an aggregate return that will allow the Trust to service the interest payments on the Secured Debentures as well as earn back the amount of Selling Compensation and Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses paid from the Gross Proceeds in order to repay the full principal amount of the Secured Debentures.

Risks Regarding Bluerock. Bluerock and its affiliates are, and may in the future become, involved in real estate projects and, excluding the Trust and its Manager, may guarantee other equity or debt offerings to finance current or future projects, and there may be risks associated with those projects. Accordingly, Bluerock may experience adverse financial events as a result of its other activities and, if so, it is possible its officers and employees may not be available to support the management and operation of the Trust. If that were to occur, the Manager and the Investment Committee may not be adequately staffed and it would be likely that the Trust would be unable to operate its business profitably, adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

No Financial Support From Bluerock. The Trust is wholly-owned by Bluerock. However, Bluerock will

not receive any direct compensation from the proceeds of this Offering, other than its receipt of a fee intended to cover the Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses incurred by Bluerock and advanced on behalf of the Trust for this Offering. The Trust is intended to be fully financially self-supportive, using the proceeds of this Offering to consummate its business plan. Neither Bluerock nor any of its affiliates are obligated to financially support the Trust or its Manager. Neither Bluerock nor its affiliates are obligated to or expect or intend to contribute capital or loan funds to the Trust to enable it to meet its payment obligations under the Secured Debentures. In the unlikely event that any such funds are directly or indirectly provided by Bluerock (which it may do in its sole and absolute discretion), no duty or obligation to do so again in the future may be implied.

Absence of Rating. The Trust has not applied and does not intend to apply to any creditworthiness rating

agency for a rating on the Secured Debentures. Therefore, any comparison made or conclusion drawn regarding the creditworthiness of the Trust, as opposed to the issuer of a rated debt obligation, would be at the risk of the individual prospective Investor.

Absence of Third-Party Registrar, Paying Agent, or Indenture Trustee. The Trust, as the designated keeper, or Registrar, of the records and documentation retained to track the holders of the Secured Debentures, or the Debenture Register and the outstanding principal amount held by each Investor, will maintain the Debenture Register and record all transfers of the Secured Debentures. Similarly, the Trust has not hired any paying agent or administrator to oversee payments on the Secured Debentures. The Trust may have a conflict of interest in serving as the Registrar, and the absence of a third-party Registrar and paying agent may result in less protection to Investors than might be provided by a third-party Registrar or paying agent. Finally, although the Secured Debentures will be issued subject to a Collateral Agency Agreement providing for the orderly administration of the Collateral, the Secured Debentures are not subject to an indenture and may not receive the full protections afforded by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Future offerings of debt securities, which may be pari passu with the Secured Debentures, may

adversely affect the value of the Secured Debentures. The Trust may issue additional debt, including additional series of secured debentures, in the future that are pari passu in right of payment to the Secured Debentures and cross-defaulted with the Secured Debentures. Any Collateral securing the Secured Debentures will likely serve as collateral for such new secured debt, if issued. In that event, the Secured Debentures would share pro rata with any pari passu debt in any foreclosure proceeds of the Collateral as well as payments upon an acceleration of the obligations under the Secured Debentures and the additional debt. Thus, Investors will bear these risks of the Trust’s future offerings.

Investment Company Registration. The Trust does not intend to register as an “investment company”

under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or 1940 Act, in reliance on an exemption thereunder. If the Trust was unable to comply with an exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, the Trust would be required to register as an “investment company.” As such, the Trust would be subject, among other things, to rules requiring independent oversight of its investment decisions and prohibitions on related party transactions, as well as reporting requirements. These requirements would be onerous and costly to the Trust, and would be wholly incompatible with the business plan of the Trust. If the Trust were not able to consummate its business plan, it would not be able to meet its obligations under the Secured Debentures. The Trust is not providing prior performance tables for Bluerock or prior sponsors with which the members of management of Bluerock were affiliated. Guide 5 under the Securities Act requires certain sponsors of real estate programs to provide prior performance information to investors. This Offering is not subject to the

Page 17: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

11

Guide 5 requirements and no Guide 5 compliant performance tables have been prepared for the Offering. In addition, the Trust is a recently formed entity. However, some members of management of Bluerock, including Messrs. Kamfar and Babb, have been affiliated with active sponsors in the real estate securities syndication arena. The Trust is not providing prior performance information for these prior programs in this Memorandum. It is possible that if such tables had been prepared, a prospective Investor in the Secured Debentures would decline to invest.

An affiliate of Bluerock, Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc., for which an affiliate of Bluerock, Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Advisor, LLC, serves as advisor, currently has a Registration Statement filed and pending effectiveness with the SEC, which is publicly available. This Registration Statement contains prior performance information relating to Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc. and its affiliates, including Bluerock. This Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC and such prior performance information should not be relied upon in making an investment in the Secured Debentures.

No sinking fund has been established; No Restrictions on Distributions. The Trust is not required to satisfy any minimum schedule of payments into a sinking fund account to provide an ancillary source for payment of the obligations under the Secured Debentures. Further, if the Trust is current on its obligations under the Secured Debentures, there are no restrictions on the Trust’s authority to make distributions to Bluerock, its sole member. Consequently there can be no assurance that funds will be available when needed for interest payments and principal repayments on the Secured Debentures. Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

Common ownership among Bluerock and its affiliates may present significant conflicts of interest with respect to the Trust, particularly given the Trust’s intention to make Qualified Loans to affiliates of Bluerock. Bluerock and its affiliates, including the Manager, share common management. This may lead to a conflict of interest between the various roles as owners or officers of Bluerock and its affiliates, including the Trust and its Manager. Also, affiliates of Bluerock are expected to be borrowers under Qualified Loans, so a conflict of interest will arise due to the fact that Bluerock or its affiliates may receive fees or other compensation in connection with the borrower that is an affiliate of Bluerock or a property in which Bluerock or its affiliates otherwise holds an economic interest. Further, the Chairman of the Investment Committee of the Trust, James G. Babb, III, is also the Chief Investment Officer of Bluerock and, as such, will have a conflict of interest with respect to the Investment Committee’s consideration of any application for a Qualified Loan submitted by a Bluerock affiliate. Further, after a Qualified Loan is made, if a Bluerock affiliate is a borrower, the Trust (which will act through its Manager, an affiliate of Bluerock) may be less likely to enforce or exercise all of the Trust’s rights with regard to a Qualified Loan, as compared to the manner in which such rights may be enforced or exercised against a third party who is a borrower for a similar Qualified Loan.

To attempt to mitigate these conflicts of interest, Bluerock in structuring this Offering has, among other

things, provided for a comprehensive Collateral Agency Agreement to protect Investors by providing for the orderly administration of the Collateral, and the Trust has engaged Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO, an independent, nationally recognized due diligence firm (in such capacity, the “Monitor”), to provide investment monitoring services. See “Description of the Secured Debentures and Summary of the Collateral Agency Agreement” below. Notwithstanding such mitigating factors, these conflicts of interests may expose Investors to significant risks regarding the creditworthiness and collectability of Qualified Loans made to Bluerock affiliates. Further, the Monitoring Agreement may be terminated by either the Monitor or the Trust upon 30 days written notice, which if terminated would reduce one of the mechanisms implemented to mitigate conflicts of interest if terminated.

Bluerock and its affiliates engage in other activities outside of the Trust that could cause conflicts of

interest. The principals of Bluerock and its affiliates are employed independently of the Trust and its Manager, and are engaged in substantial activities other than this Offering. Bluerock and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest in allocating time, services and functions between various existing and future enterprises. Further, Bluerock and its affiliates may organize other business ventures that may compete directly with the Trust.

No Arms’-Length Negotiations of Agreements. None of the agreements or arrangements among the

Trust, Bluerock or their affiliates in connection with this Offering were the result of arms’-length negotiations.

Page 18: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

12

Neither Bluerock nor any affiliates will have fiduciary duties to the Investors. Investors are not

members of the Trust. As a result, neither the Trust nor Bluerock owe any fiduciary duties to the Investors. Traditionally, fiduciary duties would entail obligations of due care and loyalty. In this instance, the Trust and Bluerock believe that their respective obligations to the Investors are solely as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Secured Debentures and the Security Documents, this Memorandum and any other agreements entered into in connection therewith for the benefit of the Investors. As such, neither the Trust nor Bluerock or their affiliates are obligated to refrain from engaging in activities or transactions that involve a conflict of interest, which may favor the interests of Bluerock or its affiliates over the interests of the Investors or which are otherwise adverse to Investors, unless such activities or transactions are expressly prohibited or limited in such agreements. The absence of fiduciary duties may allow the Trust to enter into transactions that cause the Trust to be less likely or wholly unable to pay its obligations under the Secured Debentures. Risks Related to the Qualified Loans and the Trust’s Business and Operations

General risks associated with the Trust’s business, specifically real-estate related risks. The economic success of an investment in the Secured Debentures is subject to risks typically associated with loans secured by real estate. This is so because the business of the Trust will be to make Qualified Loans to borrowers that will be primarily secured by a first mortgage on the borrower’s property. As such, the Trust’s business is heavily subject to the risks associated with real estate investment generally. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• adverse changes in general or local economic conditions;

• adverse changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds which might make the purchase, sale, financing or refinancing of the borrower’s property difficult or prohibitively expensive;

• local conditions, such as competitive over-building, which might result in an oversupply of available space;

• a decrease in employment which might reduce the demand for real estate in an affected area;

• changes in the value of the real estate because of unknown environmental problems or environmental problems that develop that could require substantial expenditures to remedy;

• limited ability to pursue claims against sellers regarding the condition of the property, chain of title, status of leases, presence of hazardous substances, governmental approvals and entitlements and other significant matters affecting the use, ownership and enjoyment of property;

• the value of the underlying real estate could be significantly affected if the real estate suffered damage that was not insured;

• acts of war; and

• adverse changes in governmental rules, including, without limitation, building, environmental, real estate tax laws and rates and real estate zoning laws.

The Trust may be subject to a high degree of risk associated with Qualified Loans for projects that

purport to take advantage of the opportunities created by the current debt and real estate crisis. Opportunistic investments by borrowers, such as affiliates of Bluerock, may exhibit high mark-to-market volatility, require extensive due diligence and medium-to long-term holding periods, may be illiquid and demand constant monitoring and carefully engineered exit strategies. The Trust may make Qualified Loans to such borrowers. Although Bluerock in structuring this Offering has attempted to mitigate these risks by requiring that all Qualified Loans be short-term in nature and be supported by a Current MAI Appraisal, Investors in the Trust may be exposed to risks of non-payment arising from Qualified Loans to such borrowers. Risk Regarding Capitalization of Trust’s Borrowers and Related Party Lending. The Trust is a Delaware limited liability company formed to issue the Secured Debentures and provide financing for the Trust’s operations and Qualified Loans. Although Bluerock is structuring this Offering to require that all Qualified Loans be subject to the Maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio, among other underwriting criteria, the borrowers to which the Trust will make Qualified Loans may have limited capital, which means they may not be able to meet their payment obligations if they are not able to obtain permanent financing or refinancing or if their real estate projects are unsuccessful. Uncertainty in the financing markets may make it less likely that a borrower will be able obtain permanent financing or a refinancing in order to repay a Qualified Loan. Additionally, a borrower may not be able

Page 19: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

to syndicate a property underlying a Qualified Loan as planned in order to repay the Qualified Loan. See “Repayments of Qualified Loans.” Prospective Investors should note that the U.S. credit markets have experienced extreme illiquidity over the past year, and that the market for syndication of equity in real estate have slowed dramatically. Furthermore, if any of the Qualified Loans are applied for or made to an affiliate of Bluerock, which is an intended use of the net proceeds of this Offering, Bluerock will encounter conflicts of interest in deciding whether to approve the Qualified Loan or, if made, to exercise any remedies if a default were to occur thereunder. See “Conflicts of Interest.”

Speculative Investment. The Qualified Loans may be made to borrowers that are risky or speculative in

nature, which may fail to service or repay their Qualified Loans as and when due. Since the Trust relies on its borrowers to service and repay their Qualified Loans in order to be able to service and repay the Secured Debentures when due, there is no assurance that the Trust will be able to perform its obligations under the Secured Debentures. As such, this is one reason that Bluerock cautions Investors that an investment in the Secured Debentures is a speculative investment may result in a total loss of their entire investment.

The condition of the U.S. and global financial markets has weakened significantly and may continue

to weaken. Investors should be aware that the national and global financial markets are currently volatile and that the condition of the financial markets has become significantly weakened and destabilized in recent months. Continued weakness and instability could adversely affect the Trust’s ability to make Qualified Loans, particularly investments that support the debt service obligations on the Secured Debentures. Further, financial market instability could result in significant regulatory changes that would have an unpredictable affect on the financial markets in general and the Trust’s and Bluerock’s businesses in particular.

A further economic downturn or regional economic softness could adversely affect the economic

performance of the Qualified Loans. The U.S. economy is currently in recession. Investors should be aware that periods of weak economic performance in the United States could adversely affect Qualified Loans. In addition, softness in a regional or state economy could materially and adversely impact real estate operations or markets of borrowers and, if so, may significantly adversely affect the borrowers’ abilities to service Qualified Loans and, therefore, the Trust’s ability to service the Secured Debentures.

Because the properties securing the Qualified Loans might experience periods of illiquidity, the Trust might be unable to liquidate the properties in foreclosure at opportune times and prices, and the Trust’s capital available to fund new Qualified Loans to service the Secured Debentures will be reduced. If the Trust is required to foreclose on the properties securing the Qualified Loans because of a default by the borrower in the payment of its indebtedness, the Trust bears the risk of being unable to monetize or otherwise dispose of its Loan Collateral at advantageous times and prices, or in a timely manner because real estate assets generally experience periods of illiquidity. The lack of liquidity might result from general economic conditions impacting the real estate and credit markets, the absence of a willing buyer or an established market for these assets, as well as legal or contractual restrictions on resale. If the Trust is unable to monetize its collateral promptly or at opportune times, the Trust’s capital available to fund other Qualified Loans will be reduced and its ability to service and/or repay the Secured Debentures will be adversely affected.

The Qualified Loans may not be diversified across a significant number of borrowers or properties.

If the Trust sells only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures offered pursuant to this Offering, its ability to diversify its Qualified Loans (and, therefore, its ability to spread its risks across many borrowers and/or properties) will be limited. Further, even if the Trust sells a substantial amount of Secured Debentures, since there is no limitation on the amount that the Trust may invest in any one Qualified Loan, it would be possible for the Trust to invest most or all of its available funds with a single borrower or in a single Qualified Loan (or a limited number of borrowers or Qualified Loans). If this were to occur, and the borrower(s) or property(ies) in which the Qualified Loans were concentrated were to suffer adverse events, then the value of the Loan Collateral could be harmed to a greater extent than had the Trust spread its risks across many borrowers and/or properties. If these events were to occur, the Trust would be exposed to a greater risk of substantial loss, which could make it difficult or impossible for the Trust to meet its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

The properties securing the Qualified Loans may not be diversified geographically. If the Trust sells

only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures offered pursuant to this Offering, its ability

Page 20: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

14

to diversify its Qualified Loans across metropolitan or geographic regions will be limited. Further, even if the Trust sells a substantial amount of Secured Debentures, since there is no limitation on the amount that the Trust may invest in any one Qualified Loan, it would be possible for the Trust to invest most or all of its available funds in a single Qualified Loan (or a limited number of Qualified Loans) concentrated in a single metropolitan or geographic region (or in an identical region or a limited number of regions). If this were to occur, and the metropolitan area or regions in which the Qualified Loans were concentrated were to suffer an economic downturn or fall out of favor, and the values of real estate in the metropolitan area or regions in which the Qualified Loans were concentrated decline, the value of the property(ies) serving as Loan Collateral could be harmed to a greater extent than had the Trust lent to borrowers with properties located in a greater number of geographic regions. If these events were to occur, the Trust would be exposed to a greater risk of substantial loss, which could make it difficult or impossible for the Trust to meet its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

The properties securing the Qualified Loans may not be diversified across different segments of the

real estate market. If the Trust sells only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures offered pursuant to this Offering, its ability to diversify its Qualified Loans across different segments of the real estate market (e.g. multifamily, office, hotel, industrial, etc.) may be limited. Further, even if the Trust sells a substantial amount of Secured Debentures, since there is no limitation on the amount that the Trust may invest in any one Qualified Loan, it would be possible for the Trust to invest most or all of its available funds in a single segment or limited number of segments of the real estate market. If this were to occur, and the segment(s) of the real estate market(s) in which the Qualified Loans were concentrated were to suffer an economic downturn or fall out of favor, the value of the property(ies) serving as Loan Collateral could be harmed to a greater extent than had the Trust lent to borrowers with properties representing a greater number of segments of the real estate market. If these events were to occur, the Trust would be exposed to a greater risk of substantial loss, which could make it difficult or impossible for the Trust to meet its obligations under the Secured Debentures.

To foreclose on a Qualified Loan, the Trust may incur significant costs and obligations, which may reduce the amount of funds available to service the Secured Debentures. If the Trust forecloses a property securing a defaulted Qualified Loan (or through other means, including but not limited to by taking a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, succeeds to title to the property), the Trust may incur significant costs of collection, including but not limited to legal fees and court costs, which will be significant in the event the borrower contests the foreclosure or commences bankruptcy proceedings. Further, to liquidate a foreclosed property after it has acquired title, the Trust may be required to obtain the services of a real estate broker and pay the broker’s commission in connection with the sale thereof. Further, pending such sale or other monetization of the Trust’s interest in the property, the Trust may be obligated to incur substantial carrying costs, including but not limited to property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges, regardless of whether the property is producing any income.

These costs and expenses of collection may reduce the amount of funds the Trust has available to service the Secured Debentures. Furthermore, if the Trust has defaulted on the Secured Debentures and the Collateral Agent must resort to these remedies to monetize the Loan Collateral for repayment of the Secured Debentures, which include a foreclosure sale of the Qualified Loans, the Investors will nevertheless bear the same or greater costs, with the same or greater impact and risk of full collectability on the Secured Debentures.

Decreases in the value of the properties underlying the Trust’s Qualified Loans may decrease the value of its assets. The Qualified Loans in which the Trust plans to invest are to be secured by first mortgages on the underlying real property. To the extent that the underlying value of the properties securing the Qualified Loans decreases, the Trust’s security may be impaired, which may decrease the value of the Trust’s assets and, likewise, the value of the Loan Collateral securing the Secured Debentures.

The Trust relies on information provided to it by third parties which it cannot always verify in making its investment decisions. If any of these third parties makes an error or misrepresents information to the Trust, the Trust may make Qualified Loans that it would not otherwise make. The Trust’s decisions about which Qualified Loans to fund depend on several factors, such as the third party appraisal of the property (a “Current MAI Appraisal” as defined above) and the Trust’s underwriting of the borrowers. If the appraiser incorrectly appraises the value of a property through a Current MAI Appraisal, or a borrower makes an error or a misrepresentation in the information provided to the Investment Committee, the Trust may make a decision based

Page 21: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

15

on faulty information, which may lead the Trust to make a Qualified Loan which it would not have otherwise made. If such a mistake or misrepresentation leads the Trust to make such a Qualified Loan, the Trust may suffer an increased risk of failure and, if in fact the Qualified Loan defaults, the reduction in the Trust’s assets and revenues may be such that its ability to service the Secured Debentures may be significantly adversely affected.

Insurance will not cover all potential losses on the underlying real properties and the absence thereof may impair the Trust’s security and harm the value of its assets. The Trust will require that its borrowers acquire and maintain comprehensive insurance covering the underlying property, including liability, fire and extended coverage. There are certain types of losses, however, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. The Trust will not require terrorism insurance from its borrowers. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds, if any, might not be adequate to restore the economic value of the underlying real property, which might impair the Trust’s security and decrease the value of its assets and, likewise, the value of the Loan Collateral for the Secured Debentures.

The Trust operates in a highly competitive market among competitors who have significantly greater resources than the Trust, and the Trust may not be able to compete effectively. The Trust’s competitors include well-known companies with significant histories of real estate lending. They have substantially greater resources than the Trust, and have established a national presence. Because of greater resources and visibility, some of the Trust’s competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new opportunities, to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their loan products than the Trust is able to achieve, and may have sufficient influence to introduce governmental regulations and policies to create competitive advantages in their favor. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, or may in the future establish, collaborative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including third parties with whom the Trust has business relationships. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. There is no assurance that the Trust will be able to successfully compete against either current or potential competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s business, operating results and financial condition, and, therefore, the Trust’s ability to service and repay the Secured Debentures.

Risks Related to Private Offering and Liquidity Best Efforts Offering; Maximum Proceeds May Not Be Raised. The Trust is seeking Gross Proceeds from this Offering of up to a maximum of $25,000,000, subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the Trust’s sole and absolute discretion. The Trust is conducting the Offering on a “best efforts” basis. Broker-dealers engaged by the Dealer-Manager as members of the Selling Group will not be required to purchase any unsold Secured Debentures. There can be no assurances that the Maximum Offering Amount will be raised. If the Trust only raised a portion of the maximum offering amount, the Trust would be limited in the number and amount of Qualified Loans it could make, and would likely not be diversified. Further, the Trust may terminate the Offering at any time in its sole discretion, which may limit the number and amount of Qualified Loans it could make, which may cause them not to be diversified.

Determination of Price and Interest Rates. The purchase price of and the interest rates applicable to the Secured Debentures have been arbitrarily determined and are not the result of arm’s-length negotiations. The price of the Secured Debentures was determined primarily by the capital needs of the Trust and bears no relationship to any established criteria of value such as book value or earnings per share of the Trust, or any combination thereof. Further, the price of the Secured Debentures is not based on past earnings of the Trust. No valuation or appraisal of the Trust’s potential business has been prepared. The interest rates on the Secured Debentures were determined based on the perception of Bluerock of the marketplace for investments like the Secured Debentures and without any analytical or other technical assessment of the appropriate interest rate to be applied to the Secured Debentures based on the risk of non-payment or other factors.

Unregistered Offerings. This Offering will not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission, or the SEC, under the Securities Act or with the securities agency of any state. The Secured Debentures are being offered in reliance on an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and state securities laws applicable to offers and sales to investors meeting the investor suitability requirements set forth

Page 22: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

16

herein. If Bluerock, the Trust, or the members of the Selling Group should fail to comply with the requirements of such exemption, Investors may have the right to rescind their purchase of the Secured Debentures. This might also occur under the applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and regulations in states where the Secured Debentures will be offered without registration or qualification pursuant to a private offering or other exemption. If a number of Investors were successful in seeking rescission, the Trust and Bluerock would face severe financial demands that would adversely affect the Trust as a whole and, thus, the investment in the Secured Debentures by the remaining Investors.

Absence of Public Market. The Secured Debentures will not be listed on any national securities exchange or included for quotation through an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association. The Secured Debentures constitute new issues of securities with no established trading market. Furthermore, it is not anticipated that there will be any regular secondary market following the completion of the Offering of the Secured Debentures. Accordingly, the Secured Debentures should be purchased for their potential return only and not for any resale potential, which may or may not exist.

Limited Transferability of the Secured Debentures. In order to purchase the Secured Debentures,

prospective Investors must represent that they are acquiring the Secured Debentures for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale, that they understand that the Secured Debentures are not freely transferable and, in any event, that Investors must bear the economic risk of investment in the Secured Debentures for an indefinite period of time because the Secured Debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state “Blue Sky” or securities laws. Further, the Secured Debentures cannot be transferred unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration is available and all other applicable provisions of this Memorandum and the Subscription Agreement are followed. The transfer of the Secured Debentures requires the prior written consent of the Trust, and there is no guarantee that the Trust will consent to any transfer, which it may grant or withhold in its sole discretion.

Lack of Agency Review. Since the Offering of the Secured Debentures is a private offering and, as such,

is not registered under federal or state securities laws, prospective Investors do not have the benefit of review of this Memorandum by the SEC or any state securities commission. The terms and conditions of the Offering may not comply with the guidelines and regulations established for real estate or financing programs that are required to be registered and qualified with those agencies.

Purchase of the Secured Debentures by Bluerock and/or its affiliates. Bluerock and/or its affiliates

may, in their sole discretion, buy the Secured Debentures for any reason deemed appropriate by them. Any purchase of the Secured Debentures by Bluerock or its affiliates will be on the same terms as other investors, except that it may be made net of Selling Compensation. Upon any such acquisition of the Secured Debentures, Bluerock or its affiliates will generally have the same rights as other Investors, although the aggregate principal amount of Secured Debenture held by them will not be counted in determining a Triggering Event, a waiver of an Event of Default or an acceleration of the Trust’s obligations in an Event of Default. Bluerock and its affiliates, if it chooses to do so, would acquire any Secured Debentures for its/their own account(s) and not with a view towards the resale or distribution thereof.

No Legal Representation of Investors. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that Hirschler Fleischer,

A Professional Corporation, located in Richmond, Virginia, which is counsel representing the Trust, Bluerock and their affiliates, does not represent and shall not be deemed under the applicable codes of professional responsibility to have represented or to be representing any or all of the Investors in any respect.

Investment by Tax-Exempt Investors. In considering an investment in the Secured Debentures of a

portion of the assets of a pension or profit-sharing plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a), a fiduciary should consider if: (a) the investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section 404 of ERISA; (b) the investment is prudent, since the Secured Debentures are not freely transferable and there may not be a market created in which the fiduciary can sell or otherwise dispose of the Secured Debentures; and (c) the Secured Debentures or the underlying assets owned by the Trust are “plan assets” under ERISA.

Loss on Dissolution and Termination. In the event of dissolution or termination of the Trust as provided in the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Trust, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of

Page 23: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

17

the Trust’s assets will be used to pay unpaid interest and repay principal on the Secured Debentures, along with any claims of third-party creditors that are pari passu to the claims of the Investors. To the extent such liquidation proceedings are insufficient to pay outstanding principal and interest payments on the Secured Debentures, Investors will have to look to the Collateral to satisfy any outstanding obligations on the Secured Debentures, which may be insufficient to fully satisfy them.

Limitation of Liability/Indemnification of Bluerock and its affiliates. Bluerock and its affiliates, and their respective principals, owners, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (including but not limited to such persons which also are members of the Trust’s Investment Committee) shall not be liable to the Trust or Investors for errors of judgment or other acts or omissions not constituting fraud or gross negligence, and, as provided in the Trust’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust from all claims and any other liability in connection with or in arising in any manner from the Offering or any Qualified Loans (an “Indemnification Claim”). A successful Indemnification Claim would deplete the Trust’s assets by the amount paid, which could affect the ability of the Trust to service or repay the Secured Debentures when due.

The Secured Debentures may not be suitable investments. Prospective Investors should consult with

their own financial, legal and tax advisors prior to making any decision to invest in securities that are the subject of this Offering. Before any Subscription Agreement is accepted from an Investor, the Trust will require each Investor to represent his or her qualifications to invest in the Secured Debentures, including that such Investor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in the Securities Act), and that he or she has had an adequate opportunity to ask questions and receive any additional information material to their investment decision and that he or she is able to bear the risk of loss of all its investment in the Secured Debentures. The Trust will rely upon the truth and accuracy of these representations by each Investor in making its determination whether to accept the Investor’s Subscription Agreement.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST As noted in the “Risk Factors” section of this Memorandum, there may be significant conflicts of interest by and among the Trust, Bluerock and their affiliates, particularly if affiliates of Bluerock are borrowers under the Qualified Loans. Investors are not members of the Trust. Traditionally, fiduciary duties would entail obligations of due care and loyalty to owners of the equity in an entity. Here, however, the Investors are creditors of, not equity interest holders in, the Trust. Therefore, the Trust’s obligations to the Investors are contractual in nature, as summarized in this Memorandum (including its Exhibits), and not fiduciary in nature. As such, neither the Trust nor Bluerock or their affiliates shall be obligated to refrain from engaging in activities or transactions that involve a conflict of interest, which may favor the interests of Bluerock or its affiliates over the interests of the Investors and may otherwise be adverse to Investors, unless such activities or transactions are expressly prohibited or limited in applicable agreements. The absence of fiduciary duties may allow the Trust to enter into transactions that cause the Trust to be less likely or wholly unable to perform its obligations under the Secured Debentures. The principals of Bluerock and its affiliates are employed independently of the Trust and its Manager, and are engaged in substantial activities other than this Offering. Bluerock and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest in allocating time, services and functions between various existing and future enterprises. Further, Bluerock and its affiliates may organize other business ventures that may compete directly with the Trust. Bluerock and its affiliates, including the Manager, share common management. This may lead to a conflict of interest between the various roles as owners or officers of Bluerock and its affiliates, including the Trust and its Manager. Also, even though affiliates of Bluerock are expected to be borrowers for many of the Qualified Loans, a conflict of interest will arise due to the fact that Bluerock or its affiliates may receive fees or other compensation in connection any Qualified Loan with respect to which the borrower is an affiliate of Bluerock or in which Bluerock otherwise holds an economic interest in the property. Further, the Chairman of the Investment Committee of the Trust, James G. Babb, III, is also the Chief Investment Officer of Bluerock and, as such, will have a conflict of interest with respect to the Investment Committee’s consideration of any application for a Qualified Loan submitted by a Bluerock affiliate. Further, after a Qualified Loan is made, if a Bluerock affiliate is a borrower, the Trust (which will act through its Manager, an affiliate of Bluerock) may be less likely to enforce or exercise all of the

Page 24: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

18

Trust’s rights with regard to a Qualified Loan, as compared to the manner in which such rights may be enforced or exercised against a third party who is a borrower for a similar Qualified Loan. A third-party management team may be more risk-averse and prudent in making such decisions than a management team with an ownership stake or other pecuniary interest in an investment entity, such as Bluerock and/or its affiliates.

To attempt to mitigate these conflicts of interest, Bluerock in structuring this Offering has, among other things, provided for a comprehensive Collateral Agency Agreement to protect Investors by providing for the orderly administration of the Collateral, and the Trust has engaged Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO, an independent, nationally recognized due diligence firm (in such capacity, the “Monitor”), to provide investment monitoring services. See “Description of the Secured Debentures and Summary of the Collateral Agency Agreement” below. Notwithstanding such mitigating factors, these conflicts of interests may expose Investors to significant risks regarding the creditworthiness and collectability of Qualified Loans made to Bluerock affiliates. Further, the Monitoring Agreement may be terminated by either the Monitor or the Trust upon 30 days written notice, which would reduce one of the mechanisms implemented to mitigate conflicts of interest if terminated. Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO shall also serve as the initial Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement, which is not subject to voluntary termination by either party.

Finally, conflicts of interest arise in that: (i) Bluerock will receive a fixed fee equal to 1.75% of the Gross Proceeds, intended to cover the Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses incurred by Bluerock and advanced on behalf of the Trust for this Offering, but which will be paid on a nonaccountable basis, (ii) external and internal wholesalers of Bluerock may earn a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fee, and (iii) Bluerock or its affiliates may earn fees, profits or other compensation from real estate transactions for which Bluerock may act as a sponsor, or in which it or its affiliates may own equity, and which have been financed in whole or in part with Qualified Loans from the net proceeds of this Offering.

(1) Subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the sole discretion of the Trust. (2) The Secured Debentures will be offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis by broker-dealers (the “Selling Group”), who are

members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Orchard Securities, LLC will act as Dealer-Manager for the Offering, and will receive a Dealer-Manager Fee of up to 1.25% (“Dealer-Manager Fee”) of the gross proceeds of the Offering (“Gross Proceeds”), selling commissions of up to 6.5% of the Gross Proceeds (“Selling Commissions”), and a nonaccountable marketing and due diligence allowance of up to 1.0% of the Gross Proceeds (“Allowances”). The amount of Selling Commissions will be increased or reduced, however, if a lower or higher commission rate is negotiated with a member of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may reallow the Selling Commissions, and up to 1.0% of the Allowances on a nonaccountable basis, to the Selling Group for their sales of Secured Debentures. Of the Dealer-Manager Fee, up to 0.75% of the Gross Proceeds will be reallowed to registered representatives which may be affiliates of Bluerock for marketing costs related to this Offering, including payments to Bluerock’s internal and external wholesalers. The total aggregate amount of the Dealer-Manager Fee, Selling Commissions and Allowances (“Selling Compensation”) will not exceed 8.75% of the Gross Proceeds. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may sell Secured Debentures net of some or all of the Selling Compensation, to persons purchasing through a registered investment adviser or to affiliates and “friends and family” of Bluerock, the Trust and members of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may sell Secured Debentures as part of the Selling Group, thereby becoming entitled to Selling Commissions and Allowances. See “Plan of Distribution.”

(3) Bluerock will receive a fixed fee of 1.75% of the Gross Proceeds to cover Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses

incurred by Bluerock and advanced on behalf of the Trust in this Offering. Bluerock will be responsible for all Organizational Costs and Offering Expenses and will be entitled to retain any unused portion of this fee on a nonaccountable basis.

Before net proceeds of this Offering are deployed by the Trust for Qualified Loans and expenses of operation, they may be invested temporarily in liquid U.S. government securities, in short-term money market funds, in certificates of deposit, in time or demand deposits of commercial banks, or in similar investments. In addition, such portion of the net proceeds, as is reasonable in the Trust’s sole discretion, may be used to service the Secured Debentures and, thus, make interest and principal payments thereon.

BUSINESS PLAN

Overview The Trust is a recently formed Delaware limited liability company, and is wholly owned by Bluerock. BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Bluerock, serves as the Trust’s Manager. The principal executive offices of the Trust and the Manager are located at c/o Bluerock Real Estate, LLC, 680 Fifth Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10019, and its telephone number is (888) 558-1031.

The Trust is a “single purpose entity” and, as such, may engage only in the business of making Qualified Loans as provided in this Memorandum. The Trust may not issue any indebtedness senior to the Secured Debentures in right of payment or as to the Collateral. However, the Trust may issue additional debt in the future, including additional series of secured debentures, that is pari passu in right of payment to the Secured Debentures. Any Collateral securing the Secured Debentures will likely serve as collateral for such new secured debt, if issued. Proceeds from the sales of Secured Debentures pursuant to this Offering will be used to make Qualified Loans to various entities, which may include affiliates of Bluerock, primarily to fund the acquisition or development, or meet the other financing requirements of, the borrowers’ real estate projects, prior to the refinancing, sale, resale, development, redevelopment or third-party syndication of such real estate by such borrowers. Among other requirements, discussed below, each Qualified Loan must be secured by a first position lien on the borrower’s property and the loan-to-value ratio (based on a Current MAI Appraisal) on the Qualified Loan may not exceed 75% when made. The Trust will not have any employees or pay any salaries, although it will be responsible to reimburse its Manager and the members of its Investment Committee for their reasonable expenses actually incurred for Trust business. To the extent that the Trust incurs transaction costs, such as expenses for due diligence or otherwise in connection with the underwriting and/or closings of the Qualified Loans, it is expected that the borrowers will be responsible to pay or reimburse them from their deposits or Qualified Loan proceeds. To the extent the Trust incurs other direct expenses of operation (for example, without limitation, costs of collection, costs of insurance coverage, “dead deal” expenses incurred on Qualified Loans that fail to close, etc.), these also would constitute operating expenses of the Trust. Bluerock Real Estate

Bluerock focuses on acquiring, managing, developing and syndicating multifamily and commercial real estate properties throughout the United States. Bluerock and its principals have sponsored and structured real estate transactions totaling approximately 25 million square feet and with approximately $3 billion in value. Bluerock principals have an average of approximately 20 years experience in the finance and real estate fields including financing, development, construction, acquisition, disposition and management of properties. As a national real estate sponsor, Bluerock is substantially involved in institutional-quality real estate and real estate projects, developments, businesses and transactions. As such, Bluerock requires ready access to substantial capital to finance its acquisitions and other real estate activities and to assist it in acquiring and developing quality properties at attractive prices. In today’s environment, sellers are often placed under time pressures by their lenders or stakeholders. Bluerock believes that it can acquire property at what it believes are opportunistic prices (i.e., prices below what would be available in an otherwise efficient market) from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines and are in need of liquidity. In these transactions, often sufficient time is not available to secure bank or other financing from institutional lenders, few of which are active in this credit-constrained environment and, of those that are active, many are not able or willing to act quickly enough to meet the circumstances. Accordingly, a main purpose of this Offering is to raise proceeds which the Trust may use to make Qualified Loans to Bluerock or its affiliates for the purposes discussed herein. Proceeds from the sale of Secured Debentures, are expected to provide readily available funds at the level of the Trust. The Trust’s funds will be segregated from Bluerock and will not be loaned or advanced to any borrower, unless and until borrower meets the Trust’s and its Investment Committee’s objective underwriting criteria and collateral requirements.

Page 27: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

21

Underwriting Criteria The Trust will be responsible to source, underwrite and close all Qualified Loans, acting through its Investment Committee (see “Investment Committee” below). Generally, the Trust and its Investment Committee will require and impose upon each prospective borrower the same loan underwriting process as would be normally required and imposed by an arms-length commercial mortgage lender. Notwithstanding such general guidance, the Investment Committee’s primary and paramount underwriting criteria (“Underwriting Criteria”) are as follows:

1. Each borrower must be a “single purpose entity,” formed and operated solely for the purpose of owning a single and specific parcel of real property;

2. Each borrower must be authorized and empowered to grant and, at the Qualified Loan closing, must deliver

to the Trust a first priority mortgage or deed of trust on its property to secure the Qualified Loan;

3. The gross proceeds of the Qualified Loan, when funded, may not exceed 75% of the value of the property or properties on which the Trust will receive a first mortgage or first mortgages as security for the Qualified Loan (the “Maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio”);

4. To underwrite and determine the “value” of any property offered to secure a Qualified Loan, the Trust shall

obtain and, for all purposes may rely upon, an appraisal report prepared by an independent, nationally or regionally prominent MAI-certified appraiser (i.e., by a good standing Member of the Appraisal Institute), dated within 60 days of the date of the Loan Closing (a “Current MAI Appraisal”);

5. Each Qualified Loan shall be evidenced by a separate borrower promissory note which specifically

corresponds with one or more first mortgages, which must serve as primary security for the Qualified Loan;

6. No borrower promissory note may have an initial maturity longer than six months, provided however, in the sole discretion of the Trust the maturity date may be extended for an additional six months if, as of the date of the extension, the Qualified Loan is in good standing and free from defaults;

7. In order to extend the maturity date of any Qualified Loan beyond one year from the date of the Qualified

Loan closing, the Qualified Loan must be entirely re-underwritten, including obtaining a new Current MAI Appraisal to confirm that it does not violate the Trust’s Maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio requirement (or additional equity or collateral must be contributed by the borrower to bring the Qualified Loan into conformance), and new Investment Committee approval shall be required; and

8. At each Qualified Loan closing, the Trust must receive from its borrower a package of Loan Collateral, which at a minimum shall include (i) the borrower promissory note, (ii) the first mortgage (which shall be contemporaneously recorded), (iii) a mortgagee title insurance policy insuring a first position lien against the property in favor of the Trust against the subject property to secure the Qualified Loan, on which the Collateral Agent shall be named an additional insured (the “Mortgagee Title Insurance Policy”) and (iv) such other and additional loan documents and security instruments as an independent commercial mortgage lender would require normally at the closing of a similar loan (collectively, with the borrower promissory note, first mortgage and Mortgagee Title Insurance Policy, the “Loan Documents”).

Investment Committee To underwrite prospective Qualified Loans and to ensure all Underwriting Criteria are satisfied, the Trust shall act through an Investment Committee. The Investment Committee shall have two or more members selected by the Trust. James G. Babb, III, Managing Director and the Chief Investment Officer of Bluerock, shall be the initial Chairman of the Trust’s Investment Committee. As such, Mr. Babb shall be principally responsible for underwriting and approving all Qualified Loans. Mr. Babb has been involved exclusively in real estate acquisition, management, financing and disposition for more than 20 years, primarily on behalf of investment funds since 1992. Prior to his tenure with Bluerock, Mr. Babb was a founder and Senior Vice President of Starwood Capital, where he was involved in the formation of seven private

Page 28: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

22

real estate funds that invested approximately $8 billion in approximately 250 separate transactions. Of those investments, Mr. Babb personally led or shared investment responsibility for the structuring of over 75 transactions totaling $2.5 billion in value and more than 20 million square feet. In addition, Mr. Babb played a lead role in creating and launching a private fund focused on, among other things, high-yield debt and debt/equity investments secured or otherwise backed by commercial real estate; investments in that fund were subsequently used to sponsor the public offering of iStar Financial, the largest publicly owned finance company at that time focused exclusively on commercial real estate. The members of the Investment Committee shall serve without compensation, and shall be indemnified by the Trust for claims or losses arising from their actions and decisions, except for their own fraud or gross negligence.

Qualified Loans The Trust will use proceeds from this Offering to make Qualified Loans to borrowers, which may include affiliates of Bluerock. The Qualified Loans are expected to primarily consist of short-term bridge financings of real property prior to their refinancing, sale, resale, development, redevelopment or syndication to third-parties through subsequent securities offerings. Although not restricted to any particular property size or class, the Trust expects that its primary borrowers will be acquirers and developers of multifamily residential and commercial real estate projects. The Trust may not make Qualified Loans to principals, officers or employees of Bluerock or those of its affiliates, or which are to be secured primarily by property not located in the United States. The Qualified Loans will initially have a term of six months or less. As Qualified Loans are repaid, the proceeds will be available to the Trust to make new Qualified Loans. The Trust will require that all Qualified Loans are refinanced or otherwise repaid so as to coincide with the maturity date of the Secured Debentures. Although not restricted, it is expected that the properties to which the Trust will make Qualified Loans will focus on multifamily residential or commercial real estate properties and developments, which will generally fall into stabilized, value-added or opportunistic categories:

Stabilized. Fully operational, substantially leased-up properties, which provide consistent, lower risk returns for equity owners.

Value-Added. Properties that are undervalued for a variety of reasons and are generally candidates for adding value through re-leasing, re-tenanting or re-positioning strategies. Opportunistic. Properties that are candidates for adaptive reuse, which generally involve the conversion of a property from an existing use to a ‘higher and better’ use, and which could involve the development of complementary structures.

The Trust may be a participating first mortgage lender with other lenders on loan transactions primarily secured by first mortgage liens, in which case the Loan Documents would be expected to include a commercially reasonable intercreditor agreement with the Trust’s co-lenders. Identified Borrowers Initially, the Trust has identified the following Bluerock affiliates which may become borrowers of the Trust, subject to their satisfaction of all Underwriting Criteria and approval by the Trust’s Investment Committee:

Bluerock Special Opportunity + Income Fund, LLC

Bluerock Special Opportunity + Income Fund, LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bluerock (the “Fund”). The Fund was formed for the principal purpose of acquiring a diversified portfolio of real estate, including properties to which the Fund can add value through development, redevelopment, renovation or repositioning, along with interests in stabilized properties which can provide stability and income (the “Projects”). The Fund’s focus will be in markets with strong job and population growth characteristics, high barriers to entry, or other unique demographic characteristics. The Fund’s primary strategies are to:

Page 29: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

23

• acquire interests in stabilized properties to provide stability and income;

• acquire and add value through renovating, repositioning or redeveloping properties;

• purchase and develop property with excess land or unrealized development rights; and

• acquire multi-asset loan or property portfolios that have a value-added opportunity. The Fund’s most recent acquisitions were three apartment projects in December 2008, totaling $25,504,000 in transaction value and consisting of 469 apartment units, in which the Fund was an 85% joint venture partner with the Lynd Company, one of the top 50 Apartment Managers in the United States, with over 30,000 units under management according to the National Multi-Housing Council.

The Fund generally expects to hold and operate its Projects for approximately 3 to 5 years. The Trust expects to make Qualified Loans to the Fund for the purposes of providing acquisition capital on a short-term basis prior to securing the permanent financing for such acquired properties.

Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc.

Bluerock is the sponsor of a $1.28 billion public, non-traded real estate investment trust known as Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”). As of the date of this Memorandum, the Registration Statement for the REIT has not been declared effective by the SEC and therefore none of its provisions, including but not limited to the prior performance information contained therein, should be relied upon by Investors when considering whether to invest in the Secured Debentures. The REIT was formed to acquire a diversified portfolio of real estate and real estate-related debt and investments, with a primary focus on well-located, institutional quality multifamily residential properties with strong and stable cash flows, at which the REIT intends to implement Bluerock’s "Enhanced Multifamily'' strategies and initiatives, intended to increase rents, tenant retention and property values, and generate attractive returns for its investors. The REIT also intends to acquire well-located value-added apartment properties, which present significant opportunities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring repositioning, renovation or redevelopment, or available at opportunistic prices from distressed or time-constrained sellers. If the REIT’s Registration Statement becomes declared effective with the SEC and the REIT commences business operations, the Trust expects to make Qualified Loans in connection with the REIT’s business operations, primarily to provide the REIT with acquisition capital for multifamily properties prior to securing replacement financing. In such instances, the REIT intends to form a separate “single person” subsidiary (a “Project SPE”) to serve as the Trust’s borrower. It is possible such Project SPEs will be joint ventures with other institutional investors, but over which the REIT or its affiliate intends to retain control.

BR 1355 First Avenue Development, LLC

BR 1355 First Avenue Development, LLC (“1355”) is a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bluerock. 1355 is engaged in the development of a 34-story, ultra-luxury residential tower, located at 1353-1355 First Avenue, between 72nd and 73rd Streets, in New York, New York. 1355 intends to construct a glass-wall design building, with full amenities, for 45 luxury residences, many of which will feature private full-floor floor plans, private elevator entrances, high ceilings, and protected views. The underlying property was acquired in June 2007. To date, approximately $46 million in equity and subordinated debt has been raised for this project, through previously syndicated Reg D offerings. There is no mortgage presently recorded against the property. The Trust may make Qualified Loans to 1355, including for a potential refinancing of existing seller financing on a short-term basis prior to securing construction financing for the property. Repayment of the Qualified Loans The Trust anticipates that its borrowers will service their respective Qualified Loans to the Trust (and the Trust in turn will service the Secured Debentures) from one of three sources or a combination thereof. The three sources, which will vary substantially in order of importance and priority from borrower to borrower are: (1) operating cash

Page 30: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

24

flow to the extent it may exist (borrowers are not required to have operating cash flow as a condition to qualifying for a Qualified Loan); (2) new loans or refinancings obtained by the borrower, which may include loans from Bluerock or other Affiliates; and (3) sales of some or all of the borrower’s or real property assets or ownership interests, such as, without limitation, to tenant in common or limited liability company equity investors (i.e., a securities offering). To the extent that an affiliate of Bluerock becomes a borrower, it is expected that Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will be Bluerock’s preferred lender to refinance its Qualified Loans. In 2008, Bluerock affiliates closed six separate loans for six separate apartment projects with these agencies, three financed by Fannie Mae and three by Freddie Mac. There can be no assurance that funds will be available from any of the designated sources to pay the interest or to repay the principal of the Qualified Loans at their due dates.

Segregated Accounts Depository Account Prior to breaking escrow, all subscription payments received for the Secured Debentures will be deposited in escrow in a depository account (the “Depository Account”) with the Escrow Agent. Upon written instruction by the Trust and the Dealer-Manager and upon obtaining the Minimum Offering Amount, the funds in the Depository Account will be released to the Trust Account, with any interest earned during the escrow period disbursed to the Trust for its benefit. Trust Account Upon attaining the Minimum Offering Amount for the Offering, the Trust will deposit all Gross Proceeds received by it or the Escrow Agent into the Trust Account established for the benefit of the Investors. The Trust will only withdraw and disburse funds from the Trust Account for the purposes of:

• funding and servicing the Qualified Loans;

• the application of the Gross Proceeds as described herein;

• expenditures as permitted under the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Trust;

• making payments of interest and principal to the holders of the Secured Debentures, as and when due, whether as scheduled or due to acceleration; provided, that the Trust may disburse funds to a separate interest account to facilitate such payments; and

• distributions of Trust profits to Bluerock. The Trust must further direct borrowers under its Qualified Loans to make payments directly into the Trust Account. Unless and until the Collateral Agent provides notice to the Trust that a Triggering Event has occurred, the Trust shall have the right to access the Trust Account, including the rights of deposit, withdrawal and disbursement discussed above. Upon notice of a Triggering Event, the Trust will have no right to access the Trust Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all interest earned on amounts held in the Trust Account pending disbursement shall be retained by the Trust in the Trust Account. Cash Collateral Account The Collateral Agent shall establish an interest-bearing demand deposit cash collateral account (“Cash Collateral Account”), and the Collateral Agent and the Investors shall deposit the following amounts into it:

• any proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Secured Debenture (including acceleration) or any Security Document;

• any amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account at the time a Triggering Event occurs; and

Page 31: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

25

• any payments received or otherwise realized by any Investor in respect of amounts due from the Trust on or after the date on which a Triggering Event has occurred.

These requirements will also apply to the holders of any additional debt secured by the Collateral. Promptly after the deposit of any amount into the Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent will distribute such amount to the Investors on a pro rata basis in proportion to amounts due from the Trust and in accordance with the priorities set forth under the Collateral Agent’s Authority and Duties section, below.

Restrictions Imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act and Related Acts The Secured Debentures may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any “Unacceptable Investor.” “Unacceptable Investor” means any person who is a:

• Person or entity who is a “designated national,” “specially designated national,” “specially designated terrorist,” “specially designated global terrorist,” “foreign terrorist organization,” or “blocked person” within the definitions set forth in the Foreign Assets Control Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department;

• Person acting on behalf of, or any entity owned or controlled by, any government against whom the U.S. maintains economic sanctions or embargoes under the Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department;

• Person or entity who is within the scope of Executive Order 13224-Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, effective September 24, 2001; or

• Person or entity subject to additional restrictions imposed by the following statutes or regulations and executive orders issued thereunder: the Trading with the Enemy Act, the Iraq Sanctions Act, the National Emergencies Act, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the United Nations Participation Act, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act, the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994, the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996, the Cuban Democracy Act, the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act and the Foreign Operation, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act or any other law of similar import as to any non-U.S. country, as each such act or law has been or may be amended, adjusted, modified or reviewed from time to time.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Offering The Trust is offering up to $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures, subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the Trust’s sole and absolute discretion, due December 31, 2013, unless extended to December 31, 2014, to prospective Investors who are Accredited Investors and who meet any additional requirements imposed by the Trust itself. The Secured Debentures will be issued with a minimum purchase of $50,000 and in additional denominations of $1,000; however, the Trust has the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the minimum purchase requirement. Persons desiring to purchase the Secured Debentures should follow the procedure described in “How to Subscribe.”

The Secured Debentures will be offered and sold on a “best efforts” basis by broker-dealers (the “Selling Group”), who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Orchard Securities, LLC will act as Dealer-Manager for the Offering, and will receive a Dealer-Manager Fee of 1.25% (“Dealer-Manager Fee”) of the gross proceeds of the Offering (“Gross Proceeds”), selling commissions of up to 6.5% of the Gross Proceeds (“Selling Commissions”), and a nonaccountable marketing and due diligence allowance of up to 1.0% of the Gross Proceeds (“Allowances”). The amount of Selling Commissions will be reduced, however, if a lower commission rate is negotiated with a member of the Selling Group. The Dealer-Manager may reallow the Selling Commissions, and up to 1.0% of the Allowances on a nonaccountable basis, to the Selling Group for their sales of Secured Debentures. Of the Dealer-Manager Fee, up to 0.75% of the Gross Proceeds will be reallowed to registered representatives which may be affiliates of Bluerock for marketing costs related to this Offering, including payments to Bluerock’s internal and external wholesalers. The total aggregate amount of the Dealer-Manager Fee, Selling Commissions and Allowances (“Selling Compensation”) will not exceed 8.75% of the Gross Proceeds. The Dealer-Manager may sell Secured Debentures as part of the Selling Group, thereby becoming entitled to Selling Commissions and Allowances.

In addition, the Trust, in its sole discretion, may sell Secured Debentures net of some or all of the Selling Compensation, to persons purchasing through a registered investment adviser or to affiliates and “friends and family” of Bluerock, the Trust and members of the Selling Group, which price could be as low as 90.25% of the purchase price of the Secured Debentures.

The Dealer-Manager Agreement to be entered into by the Trust with the Dealer-Manager and the selling agreements to be entered into by the Dealer-Manager with the members of the Selling Group contain provisions for indemnity from the Trust with respect to liabilities, including certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act, which may arise from the use of this Memorandum in connection with the offering of the Secured Debentures. A successful claim by the Dealer-Manager or members of the Selling Group for indemnification could result in a reduction in the Trust’s assets. In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. Depository Account Pending receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the Minimum Offering Amount, all subscription payments received for the Secured Debentures will be deposited in escrow in the Depository Account at First Republic Trust Company. Such payments will be deposited no later than the next business day after receipt. If the Minimum Offering Amount has not been received and accepted by September 30, 2009 (which may be extended to December 31, 2009 in the Trust’s sole discretion), none of the Secured Debentures will be sold and the amount paid by the prospective Investors will be promptly returned in full with escrow interest, from the date of deposit of the subscription funds. Prospective Investors whose subscriptions are rejected will not receive any interest on their deposited subscription funds. Upon written instruction by the Trust and the Dealer-Manager and upon obtaining the Minimum Offering Amount, the funds in the Depository Account will be released to the Trust Account, with any interest earned during the escrow period disbursed to the Trust for its benefit. Upon release of the funds to the Trust Account, an initial closing under this Offering will occur, with respect to which Investors shall be entitled to the Debenture rate of interest on their investment from the date of deposit and acceptance of their Subscription Agreement.

Suitability Requirements for Investors Purchase of the Secured Debentures is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to this investment. There will not be any public market for the Secured Debentures and they should be considered illiquid. Secured Debentures will be sold only to prospective Investors, or fiduciaries representing them, who represent in writing that they are Accredited Investors under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and also meet certain standards. Prospective Investors should be aware that the Secured Debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; accordingly, an Investor must bear the economic risk of the investment in the Secured Debentures for an indefinite time. Under certain very limited circumstances, an Investor may be permitted to transfer Secured Debentures, but then only to persons who meet certain suitability standards, and the Trust will require assurances that such standards are met before agreeing to any transfer of the Secured Debentures. Additionally, the Trust may charge a reasonable administrative fee to effectuate any such transfer or exchange. Documents to be Completed by Investors

Each prospective Investor desiring to subscribe for the Secured Debentures must complete and sign the Subscription Agreement attached to this Memorandum (or separate copy thereof) and return them to the Dealer-Manager as set forth in “How to Subscribe”.

In the Subscription Agreement each prospective Investor will acknowledge, among other things, that he or she: (1) is an Accredited Investor; (2) is purchasing the Secured Debentures for investment only and not with any intention of reselling or distributing all or any portion thereof to others; (3) is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Secured Debentures; and (4) has provided complete and accurate information to the Trust concerning their status as an Accredited Investor and other relevant data. The Trust plans to review and accept or reject subscriptions as they are received. If the Trust determines to reject a specific Subscription Agreement, such prospective Investor’s subscription documents and subscription funds, without deduction and without interest, shall be immediately returned to such prospective Investor. THE TRUST RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY SUBSCRIPTION FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON. THE TRUST’S ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO OR SIMULTANEOUS TO THE TERMINATION OF THIS OFFERING. Securities Matters The Offering of the Secured Debentures is not a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Offering has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and the Trust will rely on the exemptions contained in the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Trust will be relying upon the accuracy of each prospective Investor’s warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements contained in the Subscription Agreement. Because the Secured Debentures have not been registered, they will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Thus, an Investor must hold Secured Debentures indefinitely and may not transfer them without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption from registration (in which case the Investor may be required to provide the Trust with a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust, that registration is not required). Accordingly, an Investor must be willing to bear the economic risk of investment in the Secured Debentures for an indefinite period of time. The Trust does not intend to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to provide for a public resale of the Secured Debentures.

Risk of Delivery; Delivery by Mail Prospective Investors bear the risk of delivery of all documents and payments, not the Trust. If the U.S. Postal Service is used, it is recommended that insured, registered mail be used and that sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Trust before the applicable expiration date. State Securities Laws The Trust will not offer, sell or issue any Secured Debentures in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to do so or whose laws, rules, regulations or orders would require the Trust, in its sole discretion, to incur costs, obligations, or time delays disproportionate to the net proceeds to be realized by the Trust from such offers, sales or issuances. Neither this Memorandum nor any Subscription Agreement shall constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any Secured Debentures in any jurisdiction in which such transaction would be unlawful. No Revocation Once a prospective Investor has executed a Subscription Agreement and submitted payment for the purchase price of the Secured Debentures, such subscription may not be revoked without the consent of the Trust.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURED DEBENTURES AND SUMMARY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT

General The Offering by the Trust is limited to $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures, subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the Trust’s sole discretion.

Each Secured Debenture will bear non-compounded interest at the annual rate of 9.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a 365-day year) on its outstanding principal, payable monthly on the fifteenth day of the following month.

The Secured Debentures will be issued with a minimum purchase of $50,000 and in additional denominations of $1,000; however, the Trust has the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the minimum purchase requirement. Unless an Event of Default under the Secured Debentures exists and is continuing and the Investors elect to declare the Secured Debentures due and payable, or the Trust extends the maturity on the Secured Debentures, the Secured Debentures will mature on December 31, 2013, at which time the principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Secured Debentures will be paid to the Investor registered in the Debenture Register. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may extend the date of maturity of the Secured Debentures for up to one additional one-year term. The Trust may exercise an extension of the maturity date by notifying the Investors of record on the notice date at any time prior to the maturity date of the Secured Debentures. During the one-year extension, the Secured Debentures will bear non-compounded interest at the annual rate of 10.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a 365-day year) on its outstanding principal, payable monthly on the fifteenth day of the following month.

The Collateral Agency Agreement The Secured Debentures will be issued subject to the Collateral Agency Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto, which provides for the orderly administration of the Collateral. Collateral for the Secured Debentures The Collateral securing the Trust’s obligations under the Secured Debentures (including payments of interest and repayment of principal) is as follows:

1. Pledge by Bluerock of all Membership Interests in the Trust and the Trust’s Manager;

2. Pledge by the Trust of all of its assets including bank accounts (but excluding the mortgage documents and related security instruments for each Qualified Loan); and

3. Collateral assignment by the Trust of its Loan Collateral received from its borrowers, which at a minimum

shall include (i) the borrower promissory notes, (ii) all first mortgages, (iii) all Mortgagee Title Insurance Policies and (iv) all Loan Documents, as well as a pledge of the borrower promissory note.

The Investors’ secured interest in the Bluerock Collateral and Trust Collateral will be perfected through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in Delaware. The Investor’s secured interest in the borrower’s promissory note for each Qualified Loan will be perfected through the filing of a UCC-1 in the state of the borrower’s residence, and the collateral assignment of the Loan Collateral will be recorded in the jurisdiction of the property securing the Qualifying Loan. The Loan Collateral, the Trust Collateral and the Bluerock Collateral are collectively referred to in this Memorandum as the Collateral, and the pledge and security agreements and other documents evidencing the Investors’ secured interest in the Collateral are collectively referred to in this Memorandum as the “Security Documents.” The Collateral will be physically segregated from the Trust and held by the Collateral Agent, to allow Investors through the Collateral Agent to directly foreclose upon any or all of the Collateral upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event. Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO will be the initial Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement.

Page 42: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

36

Independent Monitoring of the Collateral The Trust will also engage Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO (in such capacity, the “Monitor”) to provide certain investment monitoring services under a Monitoring Services Engagement Letter (the “Monitoring Agreement”). Pursuant to the Monitoring Agreement, the Monitor will have direct access to relevant information from and with respect to the Trust, the Qualified Loans and the Collateral, about which the Monitor may communicate directly with Investors and the Selling Group to keep them independently apprised of the status of same. Bluerock believes the Monitoring Agreement will provide transparency to the Trust and its business and enhance the Collateral Agent’s ability to discover, and deal proactively with the Company to cure, any Event of Default to the benefit of Investors. Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO is an independent law firm that is a recognized leader in due diligence examinations of a variety of public and private placement offerings. The firm’s address is 11422 Miracle Hills Drive, Suite 401, Omaha, NE 68154. Events of Default and Default Interest Events of default under each of the Secured Debentures (each, an “Event of Default”) include:

1. a failure to pay interest when due, if such default continues for 30 days after the applicable interest payment date;

2. a failure to repay principal at the maturity date or by declaration of acceleration, notice of redemption or

otherwise, as applicable;

3. an event of bankruptcy with respect to the Trust; or

4. a breach by the Trust in any material respect, after applicable grace periods, if any, of (a) the Collateral Agency Agreement, (b) any Secured Debenture, (c) any Security Documents, or (d) the “single purpose entity” provisions of its Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement.

Further, each of the Secured Debentures is cross-defaulted with the other Secured Debentures. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Debentures will thereupon (until cured, if curable) accrue interest at a default rate, 2.0% in excess of the then-current interest rate on the Secured Debentures; provided however, any such Event of Default may be waived by Investors holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust), and any such waiver will bind all Investors. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and has not been waived, the Collateral Agent, and at the direction of Investors holding, in the aggregate, more than 33.33% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding any Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust), shall declare the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Secured Debentures together with any accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Trust, the Collateral Agent and the Investors, as applicable, specifying the Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration. Triggering Event; Remedies Against the Collateral A Triggering Event shall occur upon:

1. the occurrence and continuing existence of an Event of Default, and

2. an affirmative vote by Investors holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding any Secured Debentures held by

Page 43: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

37

affiliates of the Trust), giving the Collateral Agent written notice of their intention to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the Investors’ rights and remedies under the Security Documents.

As soon as practicable after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall cause a notice to be issued to Investors seeking their vote whether to declare that a Triggering Event has occurred and, if not, may in its discretion cause the issuance of similar notices, but only during the pendency of an Event of Default and not more frequently than every 90 days. After any Triggering Event, the Investors holding, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures (excluding Secured Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust) (the “Required Creditors”) may, by giving the Collateral Agent written notice of such election, instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the Investors’ rights and remedies under the Collateral Agency Agreement, any Secured Debenture or any Security Document. The Collateral Agent is required to follow the Required Creditors’ instructions with respect to the enforcement action to be taken.

Collateral Agent’s Authority and Duties

Under the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized to act as each Investor’s representative with respect to the enforcement of their respective interests in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent will also act as agent for the benefit of certain investors (“Additional Creditors”) to whom the Trust may become obligated and who become party to the Collateral Agency Agreement. Any additional secured debt issued to such Additional Creditors may be pari passu with, but not senior to, the Secured Debentures. The Collateral Agency Agreement also governs the Investors’ respective rights, along with any additional pari passu creditors, if any, with respect to amounts recovered after a Triggering Event. The outstanding principal amount of obligations held by additional pari passu creditors will be included in calculating the required thresholds for action by the creditors under the Collateral Agency Agreement. After the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Collateral Agent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to secure and enforce the Investors’ rights in and to the Collateral, but shall take instructions on specific matters from the Required Creditors (the “Required Action”). In the event that the Collateral Agent seeks direction or authority as to a particular matter, it may seek a vote for Required Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall establish an interest-bearing Cash Collateral Account, and the Collateral Agent and the Investors shall deposit the following amounts into it:

• any proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Secured Debenture or any Security Document;

• any amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account at the time a Triggering Event occurs; and

• any payments received or otherwise realized by any Investor in respect of amounts due from the Trust on or after the date on which a Triggering Event has occurred.

Promptly after the deposit of any amount into the Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent will distribute such amount to the Investors, including, as applicable, any other creditors of the Trust whose indebtedness is secured by the Collateral, on a pro rata basis in proportion to amounts due from the Trust and in accordance with the following priorities:

1. to the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Collateral Account and any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, legal proceeding (whether by or against any such party), realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Secured Debenture or any Security Document;

2. after payment in full of all amounts set forth in 1), to the Investors in payment of any and all amounts owed to the Investors for reimbursement of amounts paid by them to the Collateral Agent as indemnification for liabilities incurred by them in performing its/their duties under the Collateral Agency Agreement;

Page 44: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

38

3. after payment in full of all amounts set forth in 2), to the payment and permanent reduction of the principal amount of the Secured Debentures, pro rata, based on the proportion that the principal amount of such outstanding Secured Debentures held by each Investor at such time bears to the sum of the principal amount of all Secured Debentures;

4. after payment in full of all amounts set forth in 3), to the payment and permanent reduction of the amount of the outstanding Secured Debentures representing interest, pro rata, based on the proportion that such outstanding Secured Debentures representing interest held by each Investor at such time bears to the sum of all Secured Debentures representing interest; and

5. after payment in full of all amounts set forth in 4), to or at the direction of the Trust or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

In order for the Collateral Agent to carry out its duties under the Collateral Agency Agreement, each Investor, upon request, shall be obligated to notify them of the aggregate amount of its respective amount then owing such Investor and such other information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

The Collateral Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any failure or defect in the registration, filing or recording of any of the Security Documents or any failure to do any act necessary to constitute, perfect and maintain the priority of any security interest in the Collateral or for the Trust’s use of proceeds from the sale of the Secured Debentures, except as results from the Collateral Agent’s own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct

Furthermore, under the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Trust agrees to pay and save the Collateral Agent harmless from liability for payment of all costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Security Documents, other than liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the express terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement. Additionally, through the Collateral Agency Agreement, each Investor severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, pro rata, to the extent the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Trust or from proceeds of the Collateral or otherwise, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Secured Debentures or the Security Documents in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Secured Debentures, the Security Documents and/or the Collateral, except as results from the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the express terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement. Trust Account Upon attaining the Minimum Offering Amount for the Offering, the Trust will deposit all Gross Proceeds received by it or the Escrow Agent into the Trust Account established for the benefit of the Investors. The Trust will only withdraw and disburse funds from the Trust Account for the purposes of:

• funding and servicing the Qualified Loans;

• the application of the Gross Proceeds as described herein;

• expenditures as permitted under the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Trust;

• making payments of interest and principal to the holders of the Secured Debentures, as and when due, whether as scheduled or due to acceleration; provided, that the Trust may disburse funds to a separate interest account to facilitate such payments; and

• distributions of Trust profits to Bluerock.

Page 45: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

39

Unless and until the Collateral Agent provides notice to the Trust that a Triggering Event has occurred, the Trust shall have the right to access the Trust Account, including the rights of deposit, withdrawal and disbursement discussed above. Upon notice of a Triggering Event, the Trust will have no right to access the Trust Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all interest earned on amounts held in the Trust Account pending disbursement shall be retained by the Trust in the Trust Account.

Transfer and Exchange of the Secured Debentures Generally, the Secured Debentures will be non-transferable except in very limited circumstances and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Trust. If a transfer is permitted by the Trust, the transfer of the Secured Debentures may be effected only by the registered owner thereof, at the Trust’s principal executive office in New York, New York. Substantial restrictions apply to the transfer of the Secured Debentures. The Secured Debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore, cannot be sold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. An Investor may, under certain circumstances, be permitted to transfer the Secured Debentures, but only to persons who meet certain suitability standards and the Trust may require assurances that such standards are met before agreeing to any transfer of the Secured Debentures. Additionally, the Trust may charge a reasonable administrative fee to effectuate any such transfer or exchange. Debenture Register The Secured Debentures will be issued and evidenced by the Debenture Register and will be held in “book-entry” on the Debenture Register by the Trust. Physical certificates of the Secured Debentures will only be issued to Investors upon written request.

Liquidation Option During each year, Investors, or their representatives, may submit to the Trust in writing, within 90 days from the end of the calendar year, a request for liquidation of their Secured Debentures at the following liquidation price (expressed as percentages of outstanding principal amount), plus accrued interest to the liquidation date:

Year Percentage

2010 94% 2011 96%

2012 98% 2013 100% 2014* 100%

* assumes that the Trust exercises its extension option.

No more than 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds may be liquidated in any one year, provided, however, that the Trust may elect to honor liquidation requests in excess of 5.0% in its sole and absolute discretion. If Investors request liquidation of more than 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds in any one year, and the Trust has elected not to honor the full amount of the liquidation requests in excess of 5.0%, the liquidation amount will be paid to such Investors in the order the liquidation requests were received by the Trust, based on the date of postmark, or, if similar postmarks, the date of initial investment in the Secured Debentures, until an amount equal to 5.0% of the Gross Proceeds, or such other amount in excess of 5.0% that the Trust has elected to honor, has been liquidated. An Investor’s investment in Secured Debentures may not be liquidated in part.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, there is no right of liquidation of the Secured Debentures, except in the event of: (1) an Investor’s death or debilitating disability and (2) the Trust’s consent to do so, in its sole and absolute discretion.

General Redemption Rights The Secured Debentures may be redeemed by the Trust, in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, at any time upon at least 30 days notice to the Investors after December 31, 2010. If less than all the Secured Debentures are to be redeemed, the Secured Debentures will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Secured Debentures called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest, or if less than all of the Secured Debentures are being redeemed, the pro rata portion thereof. Financial Reports The Trust shall provide Investors with statements of their accounts on a quarterly basis detailing their interest earned during the prior quarterly period and the then outstanding principal balance of the Secured Debentures. The Trust shall also provide an unaudited, annual financial statement of the Trust (within 120 days from the end of the calendar year) at the request of the Investor or their financial advisor. Investors will also be sent an IRS form 1099-INT within 30 days of the end of each calendar year.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS The following discussion is a general summary of the federal income tax matters of general application relating to an investment in the Secured Debentures. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) will take a similar view as to any of the tax consequences described below. The discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), existing Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does not purport to describe all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to an investor in the Secured Debentures in light of the investor’s particular tax status and other income, deductions and credits and does not discuss any state, local or foreign tax matters. Moreover, certain investors (including insurance companies and foreign persons) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. THE TRUST IS NOT PROVIDING TAX COUNSEL OR ADVICE TO A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR AND AS SUCH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTIES ARE BEING MADE REGARDING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF SUCH INVESTMENT BY A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN THE SECURED DEBENTURES IS STRONGLY URGED TO REVIEW THE MATERIAL AND TO DISCUSS WITH HIS TAX ADVISOR THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURED DEBENTURES. TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CIRCULAR 230, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THIS MEMORANDUM IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THEM UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”); SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION AND MARKETING BY THE TRUST OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED IN THIS MEMORANDUM; AND PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR. Stated Interest The Secured Debentures will be taxable obligations under the Code, and interest paid or accrued will be taxable to non-exempt holders of the Secured Debentures. An Investor must report stated interest earned on a Secured Debenture as ordinary income in accordance with such Investor’s method of tax accounting. Investors reporting their income on a cash basis must include such interest in their gross income in the taxable year in which it is received, either actually or constructively, whereas accrual basis Investors must include such interest in their gross income in the taxable year in which it is earned. Classification of Secured Debentures The Trust will treat the Secured Debentures as valid indebtedness of the Trust for the United States federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether the Secured Debentures should be treated as debt or equity for United States federal income tax purposes requires application of various factors to applicable law. The Trust has not received any legal opinion that classification of the Secured Debentures as debt is permissible. If it were determined that the Secured Debentures should be treated for federal income tax purposes as an equity investment in the Trust instead of as a debt instrument issued by the Trust, the changes in the tax consequences to holders of the Secured Debentures might be significant and adverse. If the Secured Debentures were treated as equity for the tax purposes, Investors would be taxed as partners of the Trust. The tax treatment of partners is substantially different than the tax treatment of lenders to a partnership. A partner is required to report on his income tax return his distributive share of a partnership’s income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (and items of tax preference), regardless of whether any actual distribution is made to that partner during his taxable year. If Investors

Page 48: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

42

were treated as partners, their distributive share of taxable income might be different in amount and character than the interest income on the Secured Debentures. Purchase of Secured Debentures by Exempt Plans and Other Exempt Organizations Generally, organizations described in Section 401(a) of the Code (trusts forming part of a stock bonus, pension or profit sharing plan) and Section 501(c) of the Code, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement trusts are exempt from federal income tax (collectively, “Exempt Organizations”). However, this exemption does not apply where “unrelated business taxable income” is derived by the Exempt Organizations from the conduct of any trade or business that is not substantially related to the exempt function of the entity. If an Exempt Organization receives unrelated business taxable income, the Exempt Organization will be subject to a tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code as well as alternative minimum tax on the unrelated business taxable income portion of its income. Generally, interest, dividends, royalties and certain other income are excluded from the definition of unrelated business taxable income (“Excluded Income”). Thus, generally, an Exempt Organization that invests in the Secured Debentures should not be taxed on amounts received as interest or prepayment of principal as a result of its investment. However, if Excluded Income constitutes “unrelated debt-financed income”, then such income would not be excluded from the computation of unrelated business taxable income. For this purpose, a percentage of the gross income attributable to property (such as the Secured Debentures) with “acquisition indebtedness” will be treated as unrelated business taxable income, generally, in proportion to the ratio of such indebtedness to the basis of the property. Generally, “acquisition indebtedness” is indebtedness incurred to acquire property. Therefore, if an Exempt Organization borrows funds to acquire or hold the Secured Debentures, the interest received on such Secured Debentures may be reclassified as unrelated business taxable income.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

ERISA, the Code and the interpretive authorities issued by the Department of Labor and the IRS govern the investment of the assets of certain retirement plans in the Trust. This body of law contains certain provisions that should be considered by “benefit plan investors” and their legal advisors. The term “benefit plan investors” includes a tax-qualified pension, profit-sharing or other retirement plan (whether or not subject to ERISA), a bank-maintained fund for the collective investment of such plans, a governmental pension or retirement plan, an HR-10 (Keogh) plan, a simplified employee pension (SEP) and IRAs. Persons who exercise discretion or control of assets of a benefit plan investor that is subject to ERISA are deemed to be fiduciaries under ERISA. In addition, certain unique tax considerations apply to investments in the Trust by benefit plan investors. Fiduciaries Under ERISA Fiduciaries considering the purchase of Secured Debentures on behalf of benefit plan investors should consider their basic fiduciary duties under Section 404 of ERISA. That section requires fiduciaries to manage plan assets solely in the interest of plan participants and to discharge their investment responsibilities prudently. Section 404(c) of ERISA also requires fiduciaries to act in accordance with the documents governing the plan. Thus, fiduciaries of benefit plan investors must give appropriate consideration to, among other things, the role than an investment in the Secured Debentures plays in the benefit plan investor’s investment portfolio. In analyzing the prudence of an investment in the Secured Debentures, special attention should be given to ERISA regulations relating to the prudence standard applicable to the investment of plan assets. The plan fiduciary’s analysis suggested in these regulations includes, among other things, a determination that the investment is designed reasonably to further the benefit plan investor’s purpose, and an examination of (i) risk and return factors, (ii) the composition of the portfolio with regard to diversification, (iii) the liquidity and current return of the portfolio relative to anticipated cash flow needs of the plan, and (iv) the projected return of the portfolio relative to the plan’s funding objectives. Each fiduciary of a benefit plan investor must consider carefully whether, in light of the benefit plan investor’s overall investment portfolio, the risks inherent in an investment in the Secured Debentures are consistent with Section 404 of ERISA. The Trust has no responsibility for determining whether a purchase of Secured Debentures

Page 49: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

43

is a prudent investment for any benefit plan investor. Additionally, acceptance of subscriptions on behalf of benefit plan investors is in no respect a representation by the Trust that the investment satisfies all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by any particular benefit plan investor. Prohibited Transactions ERISA provides that the Secured Debentures may not be purchased by a qualified plan if the Trust, the Manager, Bluerock or any of their affiliates is a fiduciary or party in interest (as defined in Sections 3(21) and 3(14) of ERISA) to the plan unless such purchase is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA. Under ERISA, it is the responsibility of the fiduciary responsible for purchasing the Secured Debentures not to engage in such transactions. Section 4975 of the Code has similar restrictions applicable to transactions between disqualified persons and qualified plans or individual retirement accounts, which could result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Trust, unless and until such a prohibited transaction is corrected. In the case of an IRA, if the Trust, the Manager, Bluerock or any of their affiliates is a disqualified person with respect to the IRA, the purchase of the Secured Debentures by the IRA could instead cause the entire value of the IRA to be taxable to the IRA sponsor. Section 406 of ERISA and Code Section 4975 also prohibit qualified plans from engaging in certain transactions with specified parties involving Plan Assets. Code Section 4975 also prevents IRAs from engaging in such transactions. One of the transactions prohibited is the furnishing of services between a plan and a “party in interest” or a “disqualified person.” Included in the definition of “party in interest” under Section 3(14) of ERISA and the definition of “disqualified person” in Code Section 4975(e)(2) are “persons providing services to the plan.” If the Trust, the Manager, Bluerock or certain entities and individuals related to them have previously provided services to a benefit plan investor, then the Trust, the Manager, or Bluerock could be characterized as a “party in interest” under ERISA and/or a “disqualified person” under the Code with respect to such benefit plan investor. If such a relationship exists, it could be argued that the affiliate of the Trust, the Manager or Bluerock is being compensated directly out of Plan Assets for the provision of services, i.e., establishment of the Offering and making it available as an investment to the qualified plan. If this were the case, absent a specific exemption applicable to the transaction, a prohibited transaction could be determined to have occurred between the qualified plan and the affiliate of the Trust, the Manager or Bluerock. Another type of transaction prohibited by ERISA and the Code is one in which fiduciaries of a qualified plan or the person who establishes an individual retirement account engage in self-dealing or in co-investment with the plan or account. Accordingly, affiliates of the Trust and Bluerock are not permitted to purchase the Secured Debentures with assets of any benefit plan investor if they: (a) have investment discretion with respect to such assets or (b) regularly give individualized investment advice which serves as the primary basis for the investment decisions made with respect to such assets. In addition, no fiduciary of a qualified plan or owner of an individual retirement account should purchase the Secured Debentures both individually and with assets of the benefit plan investor. With respect to an investing IRA, the tax-exempt status of the account could be lost if the investment constitutes a prohibited transaction under Code Section 408(e)(2) by reason of the affiliate of the Trust or Bluerock engaging in the prohibited transaction with the IRA or the individual who established the IRA or his beneficiary. If the IRA were to lose its tax-exempt status, the entire value of the IRA would be considered to be distributed and taxable to the IRA sponsor.

LITIGATION AND LEGAL MATTERS None of Bluerock, Mr. Kamfar or the Trust is presently party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against any of them, any of their management, or any affiliate, which may materially affect operations or projected goals.

REPORTS The Trust will furnish the following reports, statements, and tax information to each Investor: Confirmation of the Secured Debentures. Upon acceptance of the Subscription Agreement, each Investor will receive a confirmation of the amount of the denomination of his purchase.

Form of Collateral Agency Agreement

Page 71: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

1

COLLATERAL AGENCY AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

This COLLATERAL AGENCY AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 30, 2009 is entered into among the Holders listed on the signature pages hereof (together with assignees of such Holders, the “Holders”), any Additional Creditors that may become parties to this Agreement, BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO, a Nebraska professional corporation, in its capacity as collateral agent for the Holders, the Company and the Additional Creditors (the “Collateral Agent”).

R E C I T A L S

A. The Company will issue and sell, from time to time, to the Holders 9.0% Senior Secured Debentures due December 31, 2013 in the aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000,000 (the “Debentures”), subject to increase to $35,000,000 in the sole discretion of the Company, pursuant to that certain Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated April 30, 2009, as the same may be supplemented from time to time, describing the offering of the Debentures (the “Memorandum”). The Company intends to fund loans for the acquisition, development and financing of real estate projects as set forth in the Memorandum, subject to the provisions of Section 10(d) of this Agreement (the “Loans,” and each, a “Loan”).

B. The Company concurrently herewith is securing all present and future obligations to the Holders under the Debentures (all such obligations, including, without limitation, punctual payment of principal and interest, being referred to herein as the “Debentures Obligations”), and may secure all Additional Obligations (as defined herein), pursuant to the terms of that certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof made by the Company to the Collateral Agent and any similar documents executed after the date hereof, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “Company Pledge Agreement”). At the time each Loan is funded by the Company, the Company intends to further secure the Debentures Obligations, and may secure all Additional Obligations with a Collateral Assignment of Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreements and Fixture Filing and Other Loan Documents with respect to the deed of trust and related Loan documents for each Loan and a Promissory Note Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to the promissory note for each Loan, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “Loan

Security Documents,” and collectively with the Company Pledge Agreement, the “Security

Documents”). The Debentures Obligations and the Additional Obligations are collectively referred to as the “Obligations.” The Holders and the Additional Creditors are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Benefitted Parties” and individually referred to as a “Benefitted Party.” The Company Pledge Agreement grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Benefitted Parties, a valid, perfected and enforceable first priority lien on and a security interest in all assets of the Company (other than those secured by the Loan Security Documents), and the Loan Security Documents will grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Benefitted Parties, a valid and enforceable first priority lien on the promissory note and deed of trust (or mortgage) and related Loan documents for each Loan (hereinafter all of such collateral, shall be referred to collectively as the "Company Collateral").

C. As additional collateral for securing the Obligations, Bluerock Real Estate, LLC (“Bluerock”) grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Benefitted Parties, a valid, perfected and enforceable first priority lien on and a security interest in all of Bluerock’s membership interest in the Company and in the Company’s manager (the “Bluerock Collateral”), pursuant to that

Page 72: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

2

certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of even date hereof made by Bluerock to the Collateral Agent (the “Bluerock Pledge Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, Bluerock is granting no lien, collateral rights or secured interests in or to any of its assets, except in those specific membership interests in the Company and the Manager as provided in the Bluerock Pledge Agreement. The Company Collateral and the Bluerock Collateral are collectively referred to as the “Collateral.”

D. The Company may issue additional secured debt and/or enter into credit agreements, which will be pari passu with, but not senior to, the Debentures (together with the Debentures, the “Secured Debt”), with investors and/or lenders which become party to this Agreement (such investors and lenders, the “Additional Creditors”) the obligations under which are referred to herein as the “Additional Obligations.” The Holders and the Additional Creditors wish to set forth their understanding and agreement regarding their respective rights with respect to amounts recovered through payments received after a Triggering Event (as defined in Section 5(b) below) and proceeds of the Collateral.

E. Capitalized terms used herein without being defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Debentures, Security Documents and/or Memorandum.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees as follows:

1. Sharing.

(a) The liens of the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties, and any proceeds realized in respect thereof shall be shared by the Benefitted Parties and distributed in accordance with the rights and priorities set forth in this Agreement. Any Collateral Proceeds, Triggering Event Balances or Triggering Event Payments (as such terms are defined in Section 2(b)) shall be shared by the Benefitted Parties and distributed in accordance with the rights and priorities set forth in this Agreement.

2. Cash Collateral Account; Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Collateral Agent has established an interest-bearing demand deposit cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) in the name of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Benefitted Parties into which the proceeds, payments and amounts described in subsections (b)(i), (b)(ii), and (b)(iii) below shall be deposited and from which only the Collateral Agent may effect withdrawals.

(b) The following proceeds, payments and amounts shall be deposited and held by the Collateral Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be distributed from time to time by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2(c) below:

(i) any proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Debenture (including acceleration) or any Security Documents (the “Collateral Proceeds”) received by the Collateral Agent;

(ii) any amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account at the time a Triggering Event occurs (the “Triggering Event Balances”); and

Page 73: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

3

(iii) any payments received or otherwise realized by any Benefitted Party in respect of any Obligations on or after the date on which a Triggering Event has occurred (the “Triggering Event Payments”).

Each Benefitted Party agrees to deliver any Collateral Proceeds and any Triggering Event Payments to the Collateral Agent within two (2) Business Days after receipt (other than pursuant to subsection (c) below) of such Collateral Proceeds or Triggering Event Payments.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall distribute the proceeds described in subsections (b)(i), (b)(ii), and (b)(iii) above which are held in the Cash Collateral Account to the Collateral Agent and the Benefitted Parties in accordance with the following priorities:

first, to the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Collateral Account and any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, legal proceeding (whether by or against any such party), realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Secured Debt or any Security Document;

second, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item first, to the Benefitted Parties in payment of any and all amounts owed to the Benefitted Parties for reimbursement of amounts paid by them to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4(g) pro rata in proportion to such amounts owed to such Benefitted Parties;

third, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item second, to the payment and permanent reduction of the principal amount of the outstanding Obligations, pro rata, based on the proportion that the principal amount of such outstanding Obligations held by each Benefitted Party at such time bears to the sum of the principal amount of all such Obligations;

fourth, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item third, to the payment and permanent reduction of the amount of the outstanding Obligations representing interest, pro rata, based on the proportion that such outstanding Obligations representing interest held by each Benefitted Party at such time bears to the sum of all such Obligations representing interest; and

fifth, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item fourth, to or at the direction of the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall make such distributions promptly after the deposit of any Collateral Proceeds, Triggering Event Balances, or Triggering Event Payments into the Cash Collateral Account. A Benefitted Party's pro rata share of the Obligations on any distribution date shall be determined by assuming that all Obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars based upon the quoted spot rate at which the Collateral Agent's principal office offers to exchange any applicable currency for U.S. Dollars at 11:00 A.M. (local time at such principal office) on the Business Day preceding such distribution date (the “Applicable Exchange Rate”). For any distribution, the Collateral Agent shall exchange the relevant portion of such distribution into the applicable currency and make each such distribution in the applicable currency.

3. Payment of Obligations; Distributions Recovered.

(a) The Company agrees that any amounts received by a Benefitted Party and delivered by

Page 74: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

4

such Benefitted Party to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will not be deemed to be a payment in respect of any Obligations owing to such Benefitted Party until such Benefitted Party receives its pro rata share of such amount from the Collateral Agent and then only to the extent of the actual payment and receipt of such pro rata share.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in each case in which any proceeds (or the value thereof) or payments are recovered as a preferential or otherwise voidable payment (whether by a trustee in bankruptcy or otherwise) from the party (the “Distributor”) which distributed those proceeds to another party or parties under this Agreement, each party (a “Distributee”) to whom any of those proceeds were ultimately distributed shall, upon the Distributor's notice of the recovery to the Distributee, return to the Distributor an amount equal to the Distributee's ratable share of the amount recovered, together with a ratable share of interest thereon to the extent the Distributor is required to pay interest thereon computed on the amount to be returned from the date of the recovery. For purposes of this Section 3(b), “proceeds” means any payment (whether made voluntarily or involuntary) from any source, including, without limitation, any offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, any security (including, without limitation, any guaranty or any collateral) or otherwise.

4. The Collateral Agent.

(a) By execution and delivery hereof, each Benefitted Party hereby appoints Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO as Collateral Agent and its representative hereunder, under the Security Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as such hereunder and thereunder on behalf of each such Benefitted Party. In consideration of the fees and expenses set forth on Exhibit B payable by the Company and for which all Benefitted Parties shall be severally responsible, the Collateral Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act solely as agent of the Benefitted Parties to the extent, but only to the extent, provided in this Agreement and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation towards or relationship of agency, fiduciary or trust with or for any other Person, other than as set forth in the Security Documents.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall take any action with respect to any Secured Debt or any Security Document only as directed in accordance with Section 5(c) hereof; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any directions given in accordance with Section 5(c) hereof to the extent that the Collateral Agent has received advice from its counsel to the effect that such directions are in conflict with any provisions of law, this Agreement, the applicable Debenture, the applicable Security Document or any order of any court or administrative agency; provided further that the Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Benefitted Party or any other person for following the written directions received in accordance with Sections 5(a) or 5(c) hereof. Any directions given pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof may be withdrawn or modified by the party or parties who originally gave such directions by delivering written notice of withdrawal or modification to the Collateral Agent prior to the time when the Collateral Agent takes any action pursuant to such directions.

(c) Each Benefitted Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on such Benefitted Party's behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and of the Security Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the Security Documents, and it may perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Nothing in this Agreement, any Secured

Debt or any Security Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed as imposing upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or such Secured Debt or Security Document except as expressly set forth herein.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Benefitted Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, perfection, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, the Secured Debt or the Security Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made in any document executed in connection with the Obligations or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by or on behalf of the Company to any Benefitted Party.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any Benefitted Party for any action taken or omitted hereunder or under any Secured Debt or any Security Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent caused by the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written statement, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely upon the written direction of the Required Creditors (as defined in Section 5(b)) certifying that the persons signing such direction constitute the "Required Creditors," and shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying on opinions and judgments of counsel, accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it in good faith and with due care. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Documents unless and until it has obtained the directions in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof with respect to the matters covered thereby. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request from each Benefitted Party a certificate setting out the amount of the respective Obligations held by it (including, without limitation, amounts representing principal or interest of such Obligations for purposes of calculating distributions pursuant to Section 2(c)).

(f) Each Benefitted Party agrees not to take any action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of the Secured Debt or the Security Documents or to enforce any of its rights in respect of the Collateral, in each case except through the Collateral Agent acting in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) The Company, by its execution of the signature page of this Agreement, agrees to pay and save the Collateral Agent harmless from liability for payment of all costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Security Documents, other than liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the express terms of this Agreement. Each Benefitted Party severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, pro rata (to the extent set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 4(g)), to the extent the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or from proceeds of the Collateral or otherwise, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Secured Debt or the Security Documents in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Secured Debt, the Security Documents and/or the Collateral; provided that no Benefitted Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence, willful

Page 76: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

6

misconduct or breach of the express terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 4(g), any pro rata calculation shall be on the basis of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (determined by assuming that all Obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars based upon the Applicable Exchange Rate) held by or for each Benefitted Party at the time of the act, omission or transaction giving rise to the reimbursement or indemnity required by this Section 4(g). The provisions of this Section 4(g) shall survive the payment in full of all the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Obligations.

(h) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof to the Benefitted Parties and the Company, subject to the acceptance of its appointment by a successor Collateral Agent simultaneously with or prior to any resignation of the Collateral Agent. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Creditors (as defined in Section 5(c) below) shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause, by an instrument in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Company and the other Benefitted Parties by the Required Creditors. The Company must remove the Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Collateral Agent if: (i) the Collateral Agent is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent; or (ii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its property. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents; provided, however, that the retiring or removed Collateral Agent will continue to remain liable for all acts of, or the omission to act by, such retiring or removed Collateral Agent which occurred prior to such retirement or removal. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within forty-five (45) days after the retiring Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five days' prior written notice to the Company and the Benefitted Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Benefitted Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (or under the laws of a foreign country and having a branch or agency located in the United States) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, and the short term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least P-1 by Moody's Investors Service or A-1 by Standard & Poor's, or any affiliate of such bank. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents.

(i) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent and each of its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or financial advisory business or any other business with the Company, or any affiliate thereof, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Company or any affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to any Benefitted Parties.

(j) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of (i) any failure or defect in the registration, filing or recording of any of the Security Documents, or any notice, caveat or financing statement with respect to the foregoing, (ii) any failure to do any act necessary to constitute, perfect and maintain the priority of the security interest created by the Security Documents, or (iii) for the Company’s use of proceeds from the sale of the Secured Debt, except as results from the Collateral Agent’s own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any document

Page 77: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

7

executed in connection with any of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent, unless it shall have actual knowledge thereof through its own investigation pursuant to Section 5(g) or otherwise, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until it shall have received written notice from the Company or any Benefitted Party describing such Event of Default in reasonable detail (including, to the extent known, the date of occurrence of the same).

(l) Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of any direction by the Required Creditors, all of the Benefitted Parties will be bound by such direction.

(m) All original documents pertaining to the Company Pledge Agreement and the other Security Documents shall be retained by Collateral Agent for safekeeping; provided the Collateral Agent shall cancel and return such documents to the Company upon satisfaction of the obligations under the Secured Debt or upon a release of the applicable Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.

(o) Each Benefitted Party covenants to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in the administration or execution of the collateral agency hereby created (including the fees and expenses payable as set forth on Exhibit B and the reasonable compensation and the disbursements of its counsel and all other advisers and assistants not regularly in its employ), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or recovered by the Collateral Agent from the Collateral Cash Account or from the proceeds of the Collateral or otherwise, both before any Triggering Event and thereafter until all duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be finally and fully performed except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise out of or result from the Collateral Agent's fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default (as such term is defined in any Debenture) shall occur and be continuing and has not been waived, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Benefitted Parties holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Obligations excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Obligations held by an affiliate of the Company (such amounts to be determined by assuming that all such Obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars based upon the Applicable Exchange Rate), shall declare the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Obligations together with any accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Benefitted Parties, as applicable, specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration;” provided, however, if an Event of Default specified in Section 10(iii) of the Debenture occurs and is continuing, then all of the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Obligations together with any accrued interest thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Benefitted Parties. At any time after the declaration of acceleration with respect to the Obligations as described in the preceding sentence, the Required Creditors (as defined in Section 5(c)) may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences if: (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or accrued interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (3) to the extent payment of such interest is lawful, penalty interest under the Secured Debt, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (4) in the event of a cure or waiver of an Event of Default specified in Section 10(iii) of the Secured Debt, the Collateral Agent has received a certificate of an authorized officer of Bluerock that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Page 78: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

8

The Required Creditors may waive any existing Event of Default and its consequences (e.g., acceleration or the charging of penalty interest), except a default in the payment of the principal or interest on any Secured Debt.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in any Secured Debt), the Collateral Agent shall cause a notice to be issued to the Benefitted Parties seeking their affirmative vote to declare that a Triggering Event has occurred. The Benefitted Parties may also seek to declare a Triggering Event without prior notice from the Collateral Agent. If the Benefitted Parties do not elect to declare a Triggering Event in accordance with this Section 5(b), the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, issue similar notices for votes of the Benefitted Parties as required by Section 5(b)(2), but only during the pendency of the Event of Default and not more frequently than every 90 days. As used herein, a “Triggering Event”

shall be deemed to have occurred upon both (1) the occurrence and continued existence of an Event of Default; and (2) the affirmative vote by Benefitted Parties holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Obligations excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Obligations held by an affiliate of the Company (such amounts to be determined by assuming that all such Obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars based upon the Applicable Exchange Rate), giving the Collateral Agent written notice of their intention to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document as to the Collateral following such Event of Default so long as it is continuing and has not been waived.

(c) The Required Creditors may, after any Triggering Event has occurred and by giving the Collateral Agent written notice of such election, specifically instruct and cause the Collateral Agent to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document or to realize upon any or all of the Collateral, including without limitation the time, method and place of conducting such action for the benefit of all Benefitted Parties (a “Required Action”). The Collateral Agent shall follow the instructions of the Required Creditors with respect to the Required Action to be taken. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Required Creditors” shall mean the Benefitted Parties holding, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Obligations held by an affiliate of the Company (such amounts to be determined by assuming that all such Obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars based upon the Applicable Exchange Rate).

(d) Except as provided in Section 5(a), the Collateral Agent shall not commence or otherwise take any action or proceeding to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document or to realize upon any or all of the Collateral unless and until the Collateral Agent has received instructions in accordance with Section 5(c) above. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of any such instructions as to a Required Action, the Collateral Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to exercise the rights and remedies in accordance with such instructions and shall be entitled to make demand and institute judicial proceedings in equity or law for the collection of all amounts then payable under the Obligations, whether by declaration or otherwise, realize upon any or all of the Collateral, enforce judgments obtained and collect from the Company moneys adjudged due; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any such directions as to which the Collateral Agent has received a written opinion of its counsel to the effect that such directions are in conflict with any provisions of law, this Agreement, any Secured Debt, any Security Document or any order of any court or administrative agency, and the Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Benefitted Party or any other Person for

Page 79: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

9

following the written directions received in accordance with Section 5(c) above.

(e) The duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent with respect to instructions delivered by the Required Creditors pursuant to Section 5(c) shall consist of and be limited to (i) selling, releasing, surrendering, realizing upon or otherwise dealing with, in any manner and in any order, all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) exercising or refraining from exercising any rights, remedies or powers of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document or under applicable law in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) making any demands or giving any notices under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document, (iv) effecting amendments to and granting waivers under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document in accordance with the terms hereof, (v) maintaining the Cash Collateral Account under its exclusive dominion and control for the ratable benefit of the Benefitted Parties and making deposits therein and withdrawals therefrom as necessary to effect the provisions of this Agreement, and (vi) with respect to a foreclosure of Bluerock Collateral, causing the transfer books of the Company to reflect the transferee/owner of the Bluerock Collateral, and if the Collateral Agent is the record owner of the Bluerock Collateral, manage the Company and its manager for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties until the appointment of a new manager of the Company or its manager.

(f) In the event that the Collateral Agent proceeds to foreclose upon, collect, sell or otherwise dispose of or take any other action with respect to any or all of the Collateral or to enforce any provisions of the Security Documents or takes any other action pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any provision of any Security Document or requests directions from the Required Creditors as provided herein, upon the request of the Collateral Agent or any Benefitted Parties, each of the Benefitted Parties agrees that such Benefitted Party (or any agent of or representative for such Benefitted Party) shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing, as of any time that the Collateral Agent may specify in such request, (i) of the aggregate amount of the respective Obligations then owing to such Benefitted Party as of such date and (ii) such other information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(g) Collateral Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to investigate and determine if an Event of Default has occurred. Each Benefitted Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to make such investigation on their behalf, including, but not limited to, obtaining written evidence from the Company and Bluerock that any Obligations as and when due have been satisfied and that such parties are in compliance with the Security Documents, as applicable, inspecting the books and records of such parties and requiring an accounting of one or more of the parties. In addition to the compliance certificate required by Section 11(g), the Company and Bluerock each agree to: (a) provide Collateral Agent with (i) written evidence of the satisfaction of Obligations as and when due and compliance with the Security Documents, (ii) Internet access to the bank accounts of the Company solely for purposes of monitoring balances and transactions (and specifically not for withdrawals), (iii) information and documentation related to each Loan, including the appraisal used to determine the leverage limit set forth in Section 10(d) of this Agreement, and (iv) access upon reasonable notice to their respective books and records, including the Debentures register and Loan payment records, of the Company, provided, that, absent good reason, such physical access shall not be permitted more frequently than once every six months; (b) to perform an accounting, at the written request and cost of the Collateral Agent, of the Company, provided, that, absent good reason, an accounting from the Company shall not be required more frequently than once every six months; and (c) otherwise comply in a reasonable manner with the Collateral Agent’s investigation pursuant to this Section 5(g). The failure of the Company or Bluerock to abide by this Section 5(g) shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if not cured within thirty (30) business days after written notice from the

Page 80: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

10

Collateral Agent, provided, that, if such failure is subject to cure but cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, this Agreement shall not be deemed breached by reason of such failure if the Company or Bluerock promptly commences, and diligently pursues, the curing of such failure. After the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Collateral Agent shall, as requested in writing by the Required Creditors, audit, review or examine the Company’s records at the Company’s sole cost and expense, provided that such audit, review or examination of records shall be made at the respective locations where the Company’s records are kept. Promptly after the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or becomes aware of an Event of Default through its investigation under this Section 5(g), it shall promptly notify each of the Benefitted Parties. The Company may also engage the Collateral Agent to provide monitoring services that are complementary to or exceed the duties of the Collateral Agent provided in this Section 5(g) (the “Monitoring Services Engagement”) and the fees and expenses payable by the Company to the Collateral Agent as set forth on Exhibit B shall apply to cover any and all services provided by the Collateral Agent under the Monitoring Services Engagement; provided, that a breach, default or termination of the Monitoring Services Agreement by any party thereto will not constitute a breach of or event of default under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Securities Document or have any effect under this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document. 6. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entities are intended to be third party beneficiaries hereunder or to have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or shall have any right to enforce this Agreement.

7. Relation of Benefitted Parties. This Agreement is entered into solely for the purposes set forth herein, and no Benefitted Party assumes any responsibility to any other party hereto to advise such other party of information known to such other party regarding the financial condition of the Company or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Obligation. Each Benefitted Party specifically acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement is or is intended to be for the benefit of the Company or Bluerock and nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way modify any of the Obligations of the Company to the Benefitted Parties.

8. Notice of Event of Default. Each Benefitted Party and the Company agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which it has actual knowledge, it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default. Upon the Collateral Agent’s actual knowledge of an Event of Default, it shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Company and each Benefitted Party. In addition, each Benefitted Party agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent the amount and currency of its Obligations at such reasonable times as may be necessary to determine such Benefitted Party’s pro rata share of the outstanding principal amount and interest of the Obligations.

9. Security Documents. Concurrently herewith, the Company has executed and delivered to Collateral Agent the Company Pledge Agreement and the Bluerock has executed and delivered to Collateral Agent the Bluerock Pledge Agreement. At the time a Loan is funded by the Company, the Company will concurrently enter into and deliver to Collateral Agent the Loan Security Documents for such Loan, and failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if not cured within five (5) business days after written notice from the Collateral Agent.

10. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants to the Collateral Agent and the Holders as follows, and a failure of the Company to abide by any covenant in this Section 10 shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if not cured within thirty (30) business days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, provided, that, if such failure is subject to cure but cannot be cured within

Page 81: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

11

such thirty (30) day period, this Agreement shall not be deemed breached by reason of such failure if the Company promptly commences, and diligently pursues, the curing of such failure.

(a) The Company shall do or cause to be done, at its own cost and expense, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a limited liability company and the material rights (charter and statutory) of the Company, and shall not amend its Limited Liability Company Agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Bluerock shall at all times be the sole member of the Company.

(b) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness. “Permitted Indebtedness” means, without duplication, each of the following: (1) the Secured Debt; (2) indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, that such indebtedness is extinguished within five (5) business days of incurrence; (3) indebtedness of the Company to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly used to redeem the Secured Debt in full in accordance with the Secured Debt; and (4) minor and incidental trade debt reasonably and actually incurred in the operation of its business.

(c) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any lien, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any kind (a “Lien”) against or upon any property or assets of the Company whether owned on the date of this Agreement or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom, except for Permitted Liens. “Permitted Liens” means (1) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or claims either (a) not yet delinquent or (b) contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which the Company shall have set aside on its books such reserves as may be required pursuant to U.S. GAAP; (2) statutory Liens of landlords and Liens of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, suppliers, materialmen, repairmen and other Liens imposed by law or pursuant to customary reservations or retentions of title incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith, if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by U.S. GAAP shall have been made in respect thereof; (3) Liens upon specific items of inventory or other goods and proceeds of any person securing such person’s obligations in respect of bankers’ acceptances issued or created for the account of such person to facilitate the purchase, shipment or storage of such inventory or other goods; (4) Liens permitted under the deed of trust, mortgage, loan agreement or other loan documents for each Loan, or otherwise contractually subordinated to the lien of such Loan; (5) Liens securing the Secured Debt and all other obligations under this Agreement; and (6) Liens in favor of the Company.

(d) The Company shall not make any direct or indirect advance, loan (other than advances to customers in the ordinary course of business that are recorded as accounts receivable) or other extensions of credit (including guarantees or other similar arrangements) or capital contribution to any person (by means of any transfer of cash or other property to others or any payment for property or services for the account or use of others), or any purchase or acquisition for value of capital stock or other equity interests, indebtedness or other similar instruments in any person, other than Loans. Each Loan will be approved by the Investment Committee of the Company prior to funding. Each Loan will: (1) be secured by a first position mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt on real estate; (2) at the date of the Loan closing, have a maximum loan to collateral value ratio that does not exceed 75% based on the appraised value of the real estate provided in an appraisal report dated within sixty (60) days of

Page 82: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

12

the Loan closing and prepared by a nationally or regionally prominent appraiser certified and in good standing as a Member of the Appraisal Institute (an “Appraisal”); and (3) a promissory note with an initial maturity no longer than six (6) months from the date of the Loan closing; provided, however, in the sole discretion of the Company, such maturity date may be extended for an additional six (6) months if at the time of the extension, the Loan is in good standing and free from defaults, and that, if the maturity date of the promissory note is extended past the extended maturity date, the Loan must be re-underwritten and approved by the investment committee of the Company and otherwise meet the criteria set forth in this Section 10(d) (subject to the borrower contributing additional cash collateral to bring the Loan into compliance with the maximum loan-to-value limitation).

(e) Upon attaining the minimum offering amount for the offering of any Secured Debt, the Company will deposit all gross proceeds of the such offering received by it or its escrow agent for the offering of the Secured Debt into a trust account established for the benefit of the Benefitted Parties (the "Trust Account”). The Company will only withdraw and disburse funds from the Trust Account for the purposes of: (1) funding and servicing the Loans; (2) the application of the gross proceeds of the offering and sale of the Secured Debt as described in the Memorandum and any other associated private placement memorandum; (3) expenditures as permitted under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company; (4) making payments of interest and principal to the Benefitted Parties, as and when due, whether as scheduled or due to acceleration; provided, that the Company may establish and disburse funds to a separate interest account to facilitate such payments; and (5) distributions of Company profits to Bluerock. Unless and until the Collateral Agent provides notice to the Company that a Triggering Event has occurred, the Company shall have the right to access the Trust Account, including a right of deposit, withdrawal and disbursement. Upon notice of a Triggering Event, the Company will have no right to access the Trust Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all interest earned on amounts held in the Trust Account pending disbursement shall be retained by the Company in the Trust Account.

(f) The Company will not consummate an Asset Sale. “Asset Sale” means any direct or indirect sale, issuance, conveyance, transfer, lease, assignment or other transfer, whether or not for value, of any property or assets of the Company, other than the sale or transfer of Loans for consideration not less than the outstanding principal and interest with respect to such Loan and associated reserves. The funding of a Loan shall not constitute an “Asset Sale.”

(g) The Company will deliver to the Collateral Agent, within ninety (90) days after the end of each year, a certificate stating that:

(1) A review of the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year has

been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their respective obligations under this Agreement; and

(2) As to each such officer signing the certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge:

(i) The Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled in all material respects each and every covenant contained in this Agreement, the Secured Debt and the Security Documents and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, the Secured Debt and the Security Documents (or, if an Event of Default shall have

Page 83: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

13

occurred, describing all such events of default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto); and

(ii) No event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which

payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Secured Debt is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

11. Meetings. The Collateral Agent, the Company or the Benefitted Parties holding not less than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Obligations may request in writing that the Collateral Agent call a meeting of Benefitted Parties to take any action to be taken by the Benefitted Parties provided for under this Agreement.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein, (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or consents under this Agreement) shall be sent (i) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (ii) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (iii) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) to the intended recipient at the address for notices specified beneath the signature of such party hereto; or as to any party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communication shall be deemed to have been duly given when actually received.

(b) Amendments, Waivers, Consents. The Collateral Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document without the consent of any Benefitted Party (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in such document, or (ii) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Benefitted Parties. The Company and the Collateral Agent may amend this Agreement, any Secured Debt or any Security Document with the written consent of the Required Creditors, and the Required Creditors may waive compliance by the Company without notice to any Benefitted Party; provided, that, without the consent of each Benefitted Party adversely affected, an amendment or waiver may not: (s) reduce the amount of Secured Debt whose Benefitted Parties must consent to an amendment or waiver; (t) reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on any Secured Debt; (u) reduce the principal amount of any Secured Debt or extend the maturity date of any Secured Debt beyond any permitted extension; (v) make any Secured Debt payable in money other than that stated in the applicable Secured Debt; or (w) materially modify or amend any duties or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

(Back of Debenture)

9.0% Senior Secured Debenture This Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

Act”), and this Debenture may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except pursuant

to an effective Registration Statement or in accordance with an applicable exemption from the

registration requirements of the Securities Act (subject to the delivery of such evidence required

pursuant to the terms of this Debenture) and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any

state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

1. Interest. BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Trust”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this debenture (the “Debenture”) at the rate of 9.0% per annum, non-compounding. Interest on this Debenture will begin to accrue on the date of the Debenture, and will be paid monthly by the fifteenth day of the month to the holder of record (the “Holder”) as of the close of business on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the interest payment date occurs. If the Trust exercises the extension option pursuant to Section 2, the Debenture will begin accruing interest on January 1, 2014 at an annual rate of 10.0%, non-compounding. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days occurring in the monthly period for which payable. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Debentures will begin accruing interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, non-compounding, in excess of the then current interest rate on the Debentures. 2. Maturity. This Debenture will mature on December 31, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). The Trust, in its sole discretion, may extend the Maturity Date of the Debentures for up to one additional year without prior written notice to the Holder. Principal and any unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full at the Maturity Date or earlier redemption. 3. Cross-Defaulted. This Debenture is being issued to the Holder pursuant to the terms set forth in the Trust’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated April 30, 2009, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”). Pursuant to the Memorandum, the Trust may also issue additional debentures, including debentures with different maturities and coupon rates, that are pari

passu in right of payment to the Debenture (the “Additional Debentures,” and collectively with the Debentures, the “Debentures”). The Debenture is cross-defaulted with any Additional Debentures, and the collateral described in Section 5 of this Debenture will serve as collateral for all of the Debentures for the benefit of all holders of the Debentures (the “Holders”). Each of the Debentures shall be pari passu with each of the other Debentures with respect to all rights and preferences of such Debentures.

4. Redemption. This Debenture may be redeemed by the Trust in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, at any time upon at least 30 days notice to the Holders after December 31, 2010, without premium or penalty. If less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Debentures will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Debentures called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at an amount equal to the applicable pro rata portion of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest. At least 30 days before a redemption date, the Trust will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder at its registered address. The notice will state: (a) the redemption date; (b) the redemption price; (c) if a partial redemption is being made, the portion of the interest and principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed; and (d) such other procedures necessary to effect the redemption.

5. Collateral. Mick & Associates, P.C., LLO, a Nebraska professional corporation, will serve as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to a Collateral Agency Agreement by and among the Collateral Agent, the Trust and each Holder dated as of April 30, 2009 (the “Collateral Agency Agreement”), with respect to the following collateral (collectively, the “Collateral”):

a. Loan Collateral. The Trust shall collaterally assign all of the Trust’s rights in the first mortgages and deeds of trust and related collateral which the Trust will receive as security for its Loans, to include (a) all borrower promissory notes, (b) all mortgages and

Page 94: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

deeds of trust secured by the underlying properties, which will be recorded, (c) all mortgagee title insurance policies, on which the Collateral Agent shall be named an additional insured, and (d) such other and additional loan documents and security instruments as an independent commercial mortgage lender would normally require at the closing of a similar loan. The Trust shall also pledge the borrower promissory note evidencing the Loan to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to a Promissory Note Pledge and Security Agreement, both dated of even date with each respective Loan.

b. Trust Collateral. The Trust has pledged all of its assets, including any of the Trust’s bank and trust accounts (but excluding the mortgage documents and related security interests for each Loan, which will be separately assigned and pledged) (the “Trust Collateral”), to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement made by the Trust to the Collateral Agent dated April 30, 2009. The Collateral Agent’s secured interest in the Trust Collateral will be perfected through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in Delaware.

c. Bluerock Collateral. Bluerock Real Estate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BR”), the sole member of the Trust and of BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust Manager, LLC (“Manager”), has pledged all of its membership interests in the Trust and the Manager (the “Bluerock Collateral”) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement made by BR to the Collateral Agent dated April 30, 2009. The Collateral Agent’s secured interest in the Bluerock Collateral will be perfected through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in Delaware.

Collectively, these pledge and security agreements are referred to the “Security Documents.” Upon a Triggering Event under the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral Agent will have the right, among other remedies, to foreclose on the Collateral on behalf of the Holders upon an affirmative vote by Holders holding, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust. 6. Method of Payment. Payments of principal and interest will be made by check mailed to the Holder at its address set forth in the Trust’s records, provided, however, for an additional transfer fee, such payment by wire or ACH transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, and interest on, this Debenture, for which the Holder shall have provided wire or ACH transfer instructions to the Trust. All payments shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 7. Debenture Registrar. The Trust will act as registrar for the Debentures. 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Debenture will be treated as its owner for all purposes. 9. No Recourse Against Others. A manager, member, officer or employee of the Trust or the Manager, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Trust under the Debentures or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting this Debenture, the Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Debentures.

10. Defaults. “Events of Default” include: (i) a failure to pay interest when due on any Debenture, if such default continues for thirty (30) days after the applicable interest payment date; (ii) a failure to repay principal on any Debenture at the Maturity Date or by declaration of acceleration, notice of redemption or otherwise, as applicable; (iii) an event of bankruptcy with respect to the Trust; or (iv) a breach by the Trust in any material respect, after applicable grace periods, if any, of (a) the Collateral Agency Agreement, (b) any Debenture, (c) any Security Documents, or (d) the “single purpose entity”

Page 95: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

provisions of the Trust’s Limited Liability Trust Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Debentures will begin accruing interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, non-compounding in excess of the then-current interest rate on the Debentures until cured, if curable. Holders holding more than 50% of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures (excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust) may waive any existing Event of Default and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal or interest on any Debenture, in which event any such waiver will bind all Holders of the Debentures (the “Required Holders”).

11. Acceleration. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and has not been

waived, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Holders holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held by an affiliate of the Trust, shall declare the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Debentures together with any accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Trust, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, as applicable, specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration;” provided, however, if an Event of Default specified in Section 10(iii) of the Debenture occurs and is continuing, then all of the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Obligations together with any accrued interest thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Holders. At any time after the declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures as described in the preceding sentence, Holders holding, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures (excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held by affiliates of the Trust) may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences if: (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; (2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or accrued interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (3) to the extent payment of such interest is lawful, penalty interest under the Debenture, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (4) in the event of a cure or waiver of an Event of Default specified in Section 10(iii) of the Debenture, the Collateral Agent has received a certificate of an authorized officer of Bluerock that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

12. Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holders may elect to

declare a Triggering Event; as used herein, a “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred upon both (1) the occurrence and continued existence of an Event of Default; and (2) the affirmative vote by Holders holding, in the aggregate, more than one-third (33.33%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures excluding any outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held by an affiliate of the Trust, giving the Collateral Agent written notice of their intention to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under the Collateral Agency Agreement, any Debenture or any Security Document as to the Collateral following such Event of Default. The Required Holders may, after any Triggering Event has occurred and by giving the Collateral Agent written notice of such election, specifically instruct and cause the Collateral Agent to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies under the Collateral Agency Agreement, any Debenture or any Security Document or to realize upon any or all of the Collateral, including without limitation the time, method and place of conducting such action.

13. Liability. This Debenture is an obligation of the Trust solely and is not an obligation of BR or of any of its members, officers or employees. Neither BR nor any member, officer or employee of BR shall have any liability for the payment of the Debentures or for any of the Trust’s obligations. The Holder shall look exclusively to the Trust and the Collateral and not to BR or any of its members, officers or employees for satisfaction of all such obligations, and shall not seek to enforce any deficiency for payment thereof against them or seek to collect payment thereof against them.

14. Transfers. No Holder shall have any right to assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of any Debenture without the express prior written consent of the Trust, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Trust may withhold consent to a proposed transfer unless the Trust determines that such proposed transfer is exempt from federal and state securities registration and that the proposed transferee and transferor have satisfied all the other conditions set forth below to the satisfaction of the Trust:

Page 96: BR Senior Secured Debenture Trust LLC

a. Such proposed transferor and transferee shall execute an approved form of assignment, including a counterpart to the Collateral Agency Agreement, and prepay all costs to be incurred by the Trust in connection with such proposed transfer, including attorneys’ fees and costs.

b. Such proposed transferee shall execute a subscription agreement to verify that the

proposed transferee satisfies the suitability requirements set forth in the “WHO MAY INVEST” section of the Memorandum, to represent that such proposed transferee has read the Memorandum, as supplemented, all subsequent reports of the Trust and the Trust’s financial statements, and is aware of, and assumes the risks of, investing in this Debenture as summarized in the “RISK FACTORS” section of the Memorandum.

c. The Trust shall have received, if the Trust so requests, an opinion of legal counsel,

satisfactory to the Trust in the Trust’s sole discretion, confirming that the proposed transfer is exempt from securities registration and the assignment is in proper legal form and enforceable against the proposed transferee.

An approved transferee shall take the place of the transferor on the effective date of the

transfer, as determined by the Trust, and, thereafter, the transferee shall be treated as the Holder and owner of the Debenture transferred for all purposes of this Debenture and the other transaction documents. The Trust need not exchange or register the transfer of any Debenture or portion of a Debenture selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Debenture being redeemed in part. Also, the Trust need not exchange or register the transfer of any of the Debentures for a period of fifteen (15) days before a Debenture or portion of a Debenture is selected for redemption or during the period between the Record Date and the corresponding interest payment date.

15. Waiver. The Trust, for itself and for its successors, transferees, assigns, endorsers, and

signers, hereby waives all valuation and appraisement privilege, presentment and demand for payment, protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor, bringing of suit, lack of diligence and delays in collection or enforcement of this Debenture and notice of the intention to accelerate, the release of any party liable and the release of any security for the debt, the taking of any additional security and any other indulgence or forbearance. This Debenture may be extended or renewed from time to time without in any way affecting or diminishing the Trust’s liability under this Debenture.

16. Headings; Definitions. The subject headings or titles of paragraphs or sections of this Debenture are included for purposes of convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning, construction, or effect of any of its provisions. Any undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

17. Governing Law and Severability. This Debenture is made pursuant to, and shall be construed and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, excluding the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. If any provision of this Debenture is construed or interpreted by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, such construction or interpretation shall affect only those provisions so construed or interpreted and shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Debenture.

18. Jury Trial; Jurisdiction; Venue. Jurisdiction and venue for, and waiver of jury trial in respect of any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of, under, or in connection with this Debenture, are controlled by the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement.
