REPAYMENT GUARANTY

Pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement dated the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Lender has agreed to make a loan to KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Borrower”), in the original principal amount of up to $25,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by an Unsecured Promissory Note dated the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Note”) executed by Borrower for the benefit of Lender. The Loan Agreement, the Note and each other document executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.

The proceeds of the Loan will be used to fund equity investments made by subsidiaries of Guarantor and Guarantor will derive substantial benefit from the Loan.

GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby guarantees and promises to pay to Lender or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) or so much thereof as may be due and owing under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents together with interest and any other sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

REMEDIES. If Guarantor fails to promptly perform its obligations under this Guaranty, Lender may from time to time, and without first requiring performance by Borrower, bring any action at law or in equity or both to compel Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, and to collect in any such action compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense sustained or incurred by Lender as a direct or indirect consequence of the failure of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note.

OTHER INDEBTEDNESS. From and after the date hereof, Guarantor shall not (a) create, incur or permit to exist any additional liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, resulting from borrowings, loans or advances; or (b) guarantee or become liable in any way as a surety (other than as guarantor of standard non-recourse carve-outs of direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries), endorser (other than as endorser of negotiable instruments in the ordinary course of business) or accommodation endorser or otherwise for debt or obligations of any other person or entity; or (c) pledge or further encumber any assets of such Guarantor.

RIGHTS OF LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without giving notice to Guarantor or obtaining Guarantor's consent and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, from time to time to: (a) renew or extend all or any portion of Borrower's obligations under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) declare all sums owing to Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents due and payable upon the occurrence of a Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Documents; (c) make non‑material changes in the dates specified for payments of any sums payable in periodic installments under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (d) otherwise modify the terms of any of the Loan Documents, except for (i) increases in the principal amount of the Note or changes in the manner by which interest rates, fees or charges are calculated under the Note and the other Loan Documents (Guarantor acknowledges that if the Note or other Loan Documents so provide, said interest rates, fees and charges may vary from time to time) or (ii) advancement of the Maturity Date of the Note where no Default has occurred under the Loan Documents; (e) take and hold security for the performance of Borrower's obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (f) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine; (g) release,

GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Guarantor waives: (a) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower or any defect in the formation of Borrower or any principal of Borrower; (c) any defense based upon the application by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower to Lender or intended or understood by Lender or Guarantor; (d) any defense of Guarantor based upon Lender's election of any remedy against Guarantor or Borrower or both; (e) any defense based upon Lender's failure to disclose to Guarantor any information concerning Borrower's financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Borrower's ability to pay all sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (f) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (g) any defense based upon Lender's election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the Note or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Lender; (j) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; and (k) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Note or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, or any of such sections.

GUARANTOR'S WARRANTIES. Guarantor warrants and acknowledges that: (a) Lender would not make the Loan but for this Guaranty; (b) there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall be in full force and effect and binding on Guarantor regardless of whether Lender obtains other collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by Guarantor; (c) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from sources other than Lender, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to Borrower's financial condition, and the status of Borrower's performance of obligations imposed by the Loan Documents, and Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks hereunder and Lender has made no representation to Guarantor as to any such matters; (d) the most recent financial statements of Guarantor previously delivered to Lender are true and correct in all respects, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles acceptable to Lender and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof, and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Guarantor since the respective dates thereof; and (e) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor's assets, or any interest therein, other than in the ordinary course of Guarantor's business.

SUBORDINATION. Guarantor subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing by Borrower to Guarantor to the obligations at any time owing by Borrower to Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor assigns all such indebtedness to Lender as security for this Guaranty, the Note and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness until all obligations of Borrower under the Note and the other Loan Documents have been fully discharged. Guarantor further agrees not to assign all or any part of such indebtedness unless Lender is given prior notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this Guaranty. If Lender so requests, (a) all instruments evidencing such indebtedness shall be duly

BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER. In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, Guarantor shall file all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower relating to any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and shall assign to Lender all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Lender, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Lender's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lender's nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Lender or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lender the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all of Guarantor's rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however, Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that Lender receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Lender receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereunder are paid or performed, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) full payment and performance of all of the indebtedness and obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATIONS; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Guarantor agrees that Lender may elect, at any time, to sell, assign, or grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and this Guaranty, and that any such sale, assignment or participation may be to one or more financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities, at Lender's sole discretion. Guarantor further agrees that Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to Lender with respect to: (a) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, the Guarantor, the Borrower, any partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower, any constituent partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower, any other guarantor and any non-borrower trustor); and/or (b) any lending relationship other than the Loan which Lender may have with any party connected with the Loan. In the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale, assignment or participation, Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Guarantor to each purchaser, assignee, or participant, and upon written request by Lender, Guarantor shall consent to such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment, or participation.

ADDITIONAL, INDEPENDENT AND UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection and cannot be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any indebtedness referenced in Section 1 hereof arising or created after any attempted revocation hereof or after the death of Guarantor (if Guarantor is a natural person, in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon

ATTORNEYS' FEES; ENFORCEMENT.

Given all of the above, Guarantor does hereby represent and confirm to Lender that Guarantor is fully informed regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal consequences to Guarantor of waiving such defenses.
