1, 2017, the Company may, without cause, terminate this Agreement effective 11:59 p.m. (Atlanta time) on December 31, 2017 (the "Effective Termination Date") (any such termination, a "Termination Without Cause") upon the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the Independent Directors finding either that (i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager, in light of the economic environment existing at such time, that is materially detrimental to the Company Entities, taken as a whole, and setting forth with specificity the bases for such finding, or (ii) the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 are not, taken as a whole and only after reasonable investigation as to the market rates charged by similarly situated managers, in accordance with then-current market rates charged by asset management companies rendering services substantially similar to those rendered by the Manager ("Above-Market Rates"); provided, however, if such Termination Notice is provided to and received by the Manager on or after July 1, 2017, then the Effective Termination Date for purposes of the Termination Notice shall be deemed 11:59 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the last day of the calendar month that is 180 days following the date the Termination Notice is provided to and received by the Manager. In the event of a Termination Without Cause, the Company shall pay the Manager the Fees Accrued Upon Termination on or before the Effective Termination Date. Subject to Section 11(c), the Company may terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 13(a) even after a Termination Notice satisfying the requirements of this Section 11(b) is provided to and received by the Manager and, in such case, the only payment of fees owing to the Manager under this Agreement shall be those set forth in Section 13(a) of this Agreement.

Thereupon, the Company and the Manager shall endeavor to negotiate the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 in good faith. Provided that the Company and the Manager agree to a revised fee structure under Section 7 within 60 days following the Company's receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination Notice from the Company shall be deemed of no force and effect, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated herein, except that the compensation structure shall be the revised compensation structure as then agreed upon by the Company and the Manager effective as of the Effective Termination Date. The Company and the Manager agree to execute and deliver an amendment of this Agreement setting forth such revised fee structure promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding same.

Exhibit A
Investment Guidelines
(as of June 3, 2016)
Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of PAC:
1. | No Investment shall be made by the Manager that would cause PAC to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code. |
2. | No Investment shall be made by the Manager that would cause either PAC or the Operating Partnership to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. |
3. | The Manager may invest the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, any future offerings of PAC's or the Operating Partnership's securities for cash, and cash from operations and capital transactions in interest-bearing, short-term, investment-grade investments, subject to the requirements for PAC's qualification as a REIT under the Code. |
4. | Investment Deployment Quantitative Limits: |
i. | Other than for short-term investments made for cash management purposes, the Manager may not invest (net of any debt placed at closing or assumed with the transaction) more than 15% of the Company's total assets (as determined for the Asset Management Fee) ("Total Assets") in any one single asset or transaction, subject to the requirements for PAC’s qualification as a REIT under the Code. By way of example, if |
Total Assets before proposed transaction: | $100 million |
Proposed transaction asset value: | $40 million |
Total Assets after proposed transaction: | $140 million |
15% of Total Assets after proposed transaction: | $21 million |
then the Manager would be allowed to invest up to $21 million in the proposed transaction.
ii. | No more than 25% of the Company's Total Assets may be invested by the Manager in any xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx ("XXX"). |
iii. | The Company's aggregate borrowings (secured and unsecured) will not exceed 75% of the cost of its tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing. |
5. | Investment Deployment Qualitative Guidelines: |
(a) | Multifamily related assets (other than multifamily related assets consisting of student housing communities, senior housing communities and value add |
Exhibit 10.1
communities) where the associated real property asset is located in top submarkets of an MSA with an aggregate population in excess of approximately 1,000,000.
(a) | Multifamily related assets (other than multifamily related assets consisting of student housing communities, senior housing communities and value add communities) where the associated real property asset has at least 100 units. |
(b) | Multifamily related assets where the associated real property was built or substantially renovated after January 1, 1990 and, to the knowledge of the Manager, does not possess any material design flaws and is not functionally obsolete. |
(c) | Target multifamily related assets which will generate sustainable cash available for distribution sufficient to allow the Company to cover the dividends that it expects to declare and pay and which have the potential for capital appreciation. |
(d) | Seek to acquire assets primarily for income, and secondarily for possible capital gain. |
(e) | The Manager may enter into forward purchase contracts and purchase option agreements for multifamily and non-multifamily properties and, in connection therewith, enter into deposit arrangements, mezzanine loans or other performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate. |
(f) | The Manager may invest in non-multifamily related assets provided such non-multifamily related assets do not exceed in the aggregate 20% of the Company's assets measured for asset allocation purposes. For determining asset allocations, the Manager shall calculate the value of the Company's assets based on the adjusted cost of the Company's assets before reduction for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and cumulative acquisition costs. In addition, all non-multifamily related asset allocation calculations, including determining the 20% threshold for non-multifamily assets, and not for any other purpose, will include the full development project cost of the assets underlying any Company mezzanine loan where: (1) the Company has a purchase option related to the project under construction; and (2) the related mezzanine loan has been fully funded (other than any interest reserve). |
