EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 of UDR, Inc., a Maryland corporation,
and United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, of which UDR, Inc. is the parent company and sole general partner. Unless the
context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “UDR” or “UDR, Inc.” refer collectively to UDR, Inc.,
together with its consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. and UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P. (the
“DownREIT Partnership”), also a Delaware limited partnership of which UDR is the sole general partner. Unless the context otherwise requires, the
references in this Report to the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP” refer to United Dominion Realty, L.P., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
“Common stock” refers to the common stock of UDR and “stockholders” means the holders of shares of UDR’s common stock and preferred stock. The
limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership are referred to as “OP Units” and “DownREIT Units,”
respectively, and the holders of the OP Units and DownREIT Units are referred to as “unitholders.” This combined Form 10-K is being filed separately
by UDR and the Operating Partnership.
There are a number of differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in our disclosures in this Report.
UDR is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), whose most significant asset is its ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. UDR also conducts
business through other subsidiaries, including its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). UDR acts as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership,
holds interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, owns and operates properties, issues securities from time to time and guarantees debt of certain of our
subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of a substantial portion of the business and is structured as a partnership with no
publicly traded equity securities. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed certain outstanding debt of UDR.
As of December 31, 2019, UDR owned 0.1 million units (100%) of the general partnership interests of the Operating Partnership and 176.1
million OP Units, representing approximately 95.7% of the total outstanding OP Units in the Operating Partnership. UDR conducts a substantial amount
of its business and holds a substantial amount of its assets through the Operating Partnership, and, by virtue of its ownership of the OP Units and UDR’s
role as the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, UDR has the ability to control all of the day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership.
Separate financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as separate discussions under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,” “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchasers of Equity
Securities” and “Control and Procedures” are presented in this report for each of UDR and the Operating Partnership. In addition, certain disclosures in
“Business” are separated by entity to the extent that the discussion relates to UDR’s business outside of the Operating Partnership.

“expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “likely,” “will,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, unfavorable changes in the apartment market, changing economic conditions, the
impact of inflation/deflation on rental rates and property operating expenses, expectations concerning the availability of capital and the stability of the

redevelopment activities, expectations on occupancy levels and rental rates, expectations concerning joint ventures and partnerships with third parties,
expectations that automation will help grow net operating income, and expectations on annualized net operating income.
The following factors, among others, could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements:
● general economic conditions;
● unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates;
● the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results;
● possible difficulty in selling apartment communities;
● competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease apartment homes or increase or maintain rents;
● insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and create refinancing risk;
● failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our debt service payments and distributions to stockholders;
● development and construction risks that may impact our profitability;
● potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes and other weather-related events, which could result in substantial costs to us;

● risks that third parties who have an interest in or are otherwise involved in projects in which we have an interest, including mezzanine
borrowers, joint venture partners or other investors, do not perform as expected;
● changing interest rates, which could increase interest costs and affect the market price of our securities;
● potential liability for environmental contamination, which could result in substantial costs to us;
● the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code in any taxable year;
● our internal control over financial reporting may not be considered effective which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our
financial reports, and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price; and
● changes in real estate laws, tax laws, rent control or stabilization laws or other laws affecting our business.
A discussion of these and other factors affecting our business and prospects is set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. We encourage
investors to review these risk factors.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could be inaccurate, and therefore such statements included in this Report may not prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent
in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other
person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Report, and we expressly disclaim
any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard
thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by

Item 1. BUSINESS
General
UDR is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, disposes of,
and manages multifamily apartment communities generally located in high barrier-to-entry markets throughout the United States. The high barrier-to-
entry markets are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and lengthy entitlement processes, low single-family home affordability
and strong employment growth potential. At December 31, 2019, our consolidated real estate portfolio consisted of 148 communities located in 20
markets, consisting of 47,010 completed apartment homes, which are held directly or through our subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and
the DownREIT Partnership, and consolidated joint ventures. In addition, we have an ownership interest in 5,268 completed or to-be-completed
apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 2,138 apartment homes owned by entities in which we hold preferred
equity investments. At December 31, 2019, the Company was developing three wholly-owned communities totaling 878 homes, none of which have
been completed.
At December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership’s consolidated real estate portfolio included 52 communities located in 15 markets, with a
total of 16,434 completed apartment homes. The Operating Partnership owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, disposes of, and
manages multifamily apartment communities generally located in high barrier-to-entry markets located throughout the United States. During the year
ended December 31, 2019, rental revenues of the Operating Partnership represented approximately 39% of our total rental revenues.
UDR has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to in this Report as the “Code.”
To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain tests which, among other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily
of real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real estate assets, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than
our net capital gains) to our stockholders annually. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on
our net income to the extent we distribute such net income to our stockholders annually. In 2019, we declared total distributions of $1.37 per common
share and paid dividends of $1.35 per common share.

UDR was formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation. In June 2003, we changed our state of incorporation from Virginia to Maryland. The
Operating Partnership is the successor-in-interest to United Dominion Realty, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of Virginia, which
commenced operations in 1995. The Operating Partnership was redomiciled in 2004 as a Delaware limited partnership. Our corporate offices are
located at 1745 Shea Center Drive, Suite 200, Highlands Ranch, Colorado and our telephone number is (720) 283-6120. Our website is www.udr.com.
The information contained on our website, including any information referred to in this Report as being available on our website, is not a part of or
incorporated into this Report.
As of February 17, 2020, we had 1,330 full-time associates and 21 part-time associates, all of whom were employed by UDR.
Reporting Segments
We report in two segments: Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other.
Our Same-Store Communities segment represents those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018, and held as
of December 31, 2019. These communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, there
is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment activities, and the communities are not classified as held for disposition at year end. A community is
considered to have stabilized occupancy once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months.

Table of Contents
Our Non-Mature Communities/Other segment represents those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store
Communities, including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed
use properties. For additional information regarding our operating segments, see Note 16, Reportable Segments, in the Notes to the UDR Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Report and Note 12, Reportable Segments, in the Notes to the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Report.
Business Objectives
Our principal business objective is to maximize the economic returns of our apartment communities to provide our stockholders with the
greatest possible total return and value. To achieve this objective, we intend to continue to pursue the following goals and strategies:
● own and operate apartments in high barrier-to-entry markets, which are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and
lengthy entitlement processes, low single-family home affordability and strong employment growth potential, thus enhancing stability and
predictability of returns to our stockholders;
● manage real estate cycles by taking an opportunistic approach to buying, selling, renovating, redeveloping, and developing apartment
communities;
● empower site associates to manage our communities efficiently and effectively;
● measure and reward associates based on specific performance targets; and
● manage our capital structure to help enhance predictability of liquidity, earnings and dividends.
2019 Highlights
● In July 2019, the Company marked its 47th year as a REIT and, in October 2019, paid its 188th consecutive quarterly dividend. The
Company’s annualized declared 2019 dividend of $1.37 represented a 6.2% increase over the previous year.
● Total revenues increased 10.1% over the prior year primarily due to communities acquired during 2019 and rent growth.
● We achieved Same-Store revenue growth of 3.6% and Same-Store net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 4.0%.

● We acquired two to-be-developed land parcels located in Washington, D.C., and Denver, Colorado, for a total of approximately $40.8
million.

homes, located in Anaheim, California and Seattle, Washington, for a total cash purchase price of approximately $53.5 million after the
repayment of joint venture construction financing.
● We increased our ownership interest in one community from our UDR/KFH joint venture with a total of 292 apartment homes, located in
Washington, D.C., for a total of $186.8 million and sold our 30% ownership interest in two communities from our UDR/KFH joint venture
with a total of 368 apartment homes, located in Arlington, Virginia and Silver Spring, Maryland, for a collective sales price of $118.3
million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $10.6 million.

Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s activities in 2019.
Our Strategic Vision
Our strategic vision is to be the multifamily public REIT of choice. We intend to realize this vision by executing on our strategic objectives,
which are:
1. Maintaining a Diversified Portfolio and Allocating Capital to Accretive Investment Opportunities
2. Maintaining a Strong Balance Sheet
3. Consistently Driving Operating Excellence
4. Advancing a Strong Corporate Culture and Ensuring High Resident Satisfaction
Maintaining a Diversified Portfolio and Allocating Capital to Accretive Investment Opportunities
We believe greater portfolio diversification, as defined by geographic concentration, location within a market (i.e., urban or suburban) and
property quality (i.e., A or B), reduces the volatility of our same-store growth throughout the real estate cycle, appeals to a wider renter and investor
audience and lessens the market risk associated with owning a homogenous portfolio. Diversified characteristics of our portfolio include:
● our consolidated apartment portfolio includes 148 communities located in 20 markets throughout the U.S., including both coastal and
sunbelt locations; and
● our mix of urban/suburban communities is approximately 43%/57% and our mix of A/B quality properties is approximately 57%/43%.
We are focused on increasing our presence in markets with favorable job formation, high propensity to rent, low single-family home
affordability, and a favorable demand/supply ratio for multifamily housing. Portfolio investment decisions consider internal analyses and third-party
research.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
When evaluating potential acquisitions, we consider a wide variety of factors, including:
● whether it is located in a high barrier-to-entry market;
5
Table of Contents
● population growth, cost of alternative housing, overall potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the market
in which the property is located;
● geographic location, including proximity to jobs, entertainment, transportation, and our existing communities which can deliver significant
economies of scale;
● construction quality, condition and design of the property;
● current and projected cash flow of the property and the ability to increase cash flow;
● ability of the property’s projected returns to exceed our cost of capital;
● potential for capital appreciation of the property;
● ability to increase the value and profitability of the property through operations and redevelopment;
● terms of resident leases, including the potential for rent increases;
● occupancy and demand by residents for properties of a similar type in the vicinity;
● prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the property; and
● competition from existing multifamily communities and the potential for the construction of new multifamily properties in the area.
We regularly monitor our assets to increase the quality and performance of our portfolio. Factors we consider in deciding whether to dispose of
a property include:
● whether it is in a market targeted for divestment or a reduction in investment;
● current market price for an asset compared to projected economics for that asset;
● potential increases in new construction in the market area;
● areas with low job growth prospects;
● near- and long-term capital expenditure needs for the asset; and
● operating efficiencies.

Development Activities
Our objective in developing a community is to create value while improving the quality of our portfolio. How demographic trends, economic
drivers, and multifamily fundamentals and valuations have trended over the long-term and our portfolio strategy generally govern our review process on
where and when to allocate development capital. At December 31, 2019, the Company was developing three wholly-owned communities located in
Denver, Colorado, Addison, Texas, and Dublin, California, totaling 878 homes, none of which have been completed, with a budget of $278.5 million, in
which we have a carrying value of $69.8 million. The communities are estimated to be completed between the first quarter of 2021 and the second
quarter of 2022.
Redevelopment Activities
Our objective in redeveloping a community is twofold: we aim to grow rental rates while also producing a higher yielding and more valuable
asset through asset quality improvement. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred $35.6 million in major renovations, which include
major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to existing buildings. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was redeveloping 653 apartment
homes, 250 of which have been completed, at two wholly-owned communities, located in Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York, both of
which are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. The redevelopments include the renovation of building exteriors, corridors, and
common area amenities as well as individual apartment homes.
Joint Venture and Partnership Activities
We have entered into, and may continue in the future to enter into, joint ventures (including limited liability companies or partnerships)
through which we would own an indirect economic interest of less than 100% of the community or communities owned directly by such joint ventures.
Our decision to either hold an apartment community in fee simple or have an indirect interest in the community through a joint venture is based on a
variety of factors and considerations, including: (i) the economic and tax terms required by the seller of land or a community; (ii) our desire to diversify
our portfolio of communities by market, submarket and product type; (iii) our desire at times to preserve our capital resources to maintain liquidity or
balance sheet strength; and (iv) our projections, in some circumstances, that we will achieve higher returns on our invested capital or reduce our risk if a
joint venture vehicle is used. Each joint venture agreement is individually negotiated, and our ability to operate and/or dispose of a community in our
sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture agreement.
Maintaining a Strong Balance Sheet
We maintain a capital structure that we believe allows us to proactively source potential investment opportunities in the marketplace. We have
structured our debt maturity schedule to be able to opportunistically access both secured and unsecured debt markets when appropriate.
Financing Activities
As part of our plan to finance our activities, we utilize proceeds from debt and equity offerings and refinancings to extend maturities, pay
down existing debt, fund development and redevelopment activities, and acquire apartment communities.
Consistently Driving Operational Excellence
Investment in new technologies continues to drive operating efficiencies in our business and help us to better meet the changing needs of our
business and our residents. Our residents can conduct business with us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and complete online leasing applications and
renewals throughout our portfolio using our web-based resident internet portal or, increasingly, a smart-device application.
As a result of transforming our operations through technology, residents’ satisfaction has improved, and our operating teams have become
more efficient. Web-based technologies have also resulted in declining marketing and advertising costs, improved cash management, and better pricing
management of our available apartment homes.
Operating Partnership Strategies and Vision
The Operating Partnership’s long-term strategic vision is the same as that of the Company described above.

Competitive Conditions
Competition for new residents is generally intense across our markets. Some competing communities offer amenities that our communities do
not have. Competing communities can use rental concessions or lower rents to obtain temporary competitive advantages. Also, some competing
communities are larger or newer than our communities. The competitive position of each community is different depending upon many factors,
including sub-market supply and demand. In addition, other real estate investors compete with us to acquire existing properties, redevelop existing
properties, and to develop new properties. These competitors include insurance companies, pension and investment funds, public and private real estate
companies, investment companies and other public and private apartment REITs, some of which may have greater resources, or lower capital costs, than
we do.
We believe that, in general, we are well-positioned to compete effectively for residents and investments. We believe our competitive
advantages include:
● a fully integrated organization with property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition, marketing, sales and financing
expertise;
● scalable operating and support systems, which include automated systems to meet the changing electronic needs of our residents and to
effectively focus on our internet marketing efforts;
● access to sources of capital;
● geographic diversification with a presence in 20 markets across the country; and
● significant presence in many of our major markets that allows us to be a local operating expert.
Moving forward, we will continue to optimize lease management, improve expense control, increase resident retention efforts and align
employee incentive plans with metrics that impact our bottom-line performance. We believe this plan of operation, coupled with the portfolio’s
strengths in targeting renters across a geographically diverse platform, should position us for continued operational upside.
Communities
At December 31, 2019, our consolidated real estate portfolio included 148 communities with a total of 47,010 completed apartment homes,
which included the Operating Partnership’s consolidated real estate portfolio of 52 communities with a total of 16,434 completed apartment homes. The
overall quality of our portfolio enables us to raise rents and to attract residents with higher levels of disposable income who are more likely to absorb
such rents.
At December 31, 2019, the Company was developing three wholly-owned communities located in Denver, Colorado, Dublin, California, and
Addison, Texas, totaling 878 homes, none of which have been completed, with a budget of $278.5 million, in which we have a carrying value of $69.8
million. The communities are estimated to be completed between the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022.
At December 31, 2019, the Company was redeveloping 653 apartment homes, 250 of which have been completed, at two wholly-owned
communities, located in Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York, both of which are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. The
redevelopments include the renovation of building exteriors, corridors, and common area amenities as well as individual apartment homes.
Same-Store Community Comparison
We believe that one pertinent quantitative measurement of the performance of our portfolio is tracking the results of our Same-Store
Communities’ NOI, which is total rental revenue, less rental and other operating expenses excluding property management. Our Same-Store Community
population is comprised of operating communities which we own and have stabilized occupancy, revenues and expenses as of the beginning of the
prior year.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $180.9 million as compared to $199.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease was
primarily driven by higher gains on the sale of real estate in the prior year and an increase in depreciation expense and interest expense in 2019, partially
offset by higher total revenue and gains on the sale of unconsolidated real estate.
8
Table of Contents
For the year ended December 31, 2019, our Same-Store NOI increased by $26.7 million compared to the prior year. Our Same-Store
Community properties provided 85.4% of our total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in NOI for the 37,959 Same-Store
apartment homes, or 80.7% of our portfolio, was primarily driven by an increase in rental rates, an increase in reimbursement, ancillary and fee income
and a decrease in personnel expense, partially offset by an increase in repair and maintenance expense and real estate taxes.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership’s Same-Store NOI increased by $10.3 million compared to the prior year.
The Operating Partnership’s Same-Store Community properties provided 92.9% of its total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in
NOI for the 15,723 Same-Store apartment homes, or 95.7% of the Operating Partnership’s portfolio, was primarily driven by an increase in rental rates,
an increase in reimbursement, ancillary and fee income and a decrease in personnel expense, partially offset by an increase in repair and maintenance
expense and real estate taxes.
Revenue growth in 2020 may be impacted by adverse developments affecting the general economy, reduced occupancy rates, increased rental
concessions, new supply, increased bad debt and other factors which may adversely impact our ability to increase rents.
Tax Matters
UDR has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, UDR must continue to meet certain tests that, among
other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real estate assets, and that we
distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than net capital gains) to our stockholders annually. Provided we maintain our qualification as
a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on our net income to the extent such net income is
distributed to our stockholders annually. Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes
on our income and property.
We may utilize our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) to engage in activities that REITs may be prohibited from performing, including the
provision of management and other services to third parties and the conduct of certain nonqualifying real estate transactions. Our TRS generally is
taxable as a regular corporation, and therefore, subject to federal, state and local income taxes.
The Operating Partnership intends to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership
generally is not a taxable entity and does not incur federal income tax liability. However, any state or local revenue, excise or franchise taxes that result
from the operating activities of the Operating Partnership are incurred at the entity level.
Inflation
We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. While the impact of inflation primarily impacts our
results of operations as a result of wage pressures and increases in utilities and material costs, the majority of our apartment leases have initial terms of
12 months or less, which generally enables us to compensate for any inflationary effects by increasing rents on our apartment homes. Although an
extreme escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases, we do not believe this has had a
material impact on our results for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Environmental Matters
Various environmental laws govern certain aspects of the ongoing operation of our communities. Such environmental laws include those
regulating the existence of asbestos-containing materials in buildings, management of surfaces with lead-based paint (and notices to residents about the
lead-based paint), use of active underground petroleum storage tanks, and waste-management activities. The failure to comply with such requirements
could subject us to a government enforcement action and/or claims for damages by a private party.
To date, compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position. We have a property management plan for hazardous materials. As part of the plan, Phase I environmental site
investigations and reports have been completed for each property we acquire. In addition, all proposed acquisitions are inspected prior to acquisition.
The inspections are conducted by qualified environmental consultants, and we review the issued report prior to the purchase or development
9
Table of Contents
of any property. Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments will not reveal all environmental liabilities, or that some material
environmental liabilities exist of which we are unaware. In some cases, we have abandoned otherwise economically attractive acquisitions because the
costs of removal or control of hazardous materials have been prohibitive or we have been unwilling to accept the potential risks involved. We do not
believe we will be required to engage in any large-scale abatement at any of our properties. We believe that through professional environmental
inspections and testing for asbestos, lead paint and other hazardous materials, coupled with a relatively conservative posture toward accepting known
environmental risk, we can minimize our exposure to potential liability associated with environmental hazards.
Federal legislation requires owners and landlords of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or
purchasers of the communities any known lead paint hazards and imposes treble damages for failure to provide such notification. In addition, lead based
paint in any of the communities may result in lead poisoning in children residing in that community if chips or particles of such lead based paint are
ingested, and we may be held liable under state laws for any such injuries caused by ingestion of lead based paint by children living at the communities.
We are unaware of any environmental hazards at any of our properties that individually or in the aggregate may have a material adverse impact
on our operations or financial position. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and we are not otherwise aware, of any material non-
compliance, liability, or claim relating to environmental liabilities in connection with any of our properties. We do not believe that the cost of continued
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on us or our financial condition or results of
operations. Future environmental laws, regulations, or ordinances, however, may require additional remediation of existing conditions that are not
currently actionable. Also, if more stringent requirements are imposed on us in the future, the costs of compliance could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations and our financial condition.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive general liability coverage on our communities, with limits of liability customary within the multi-family apartment
industry to insure against liability claims and related defense costs. We are also insured, with limits of liability customary within the multi-family
apartment industry, against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to
repair or rebuild each property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that affect the business and the results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership, some of which are
beyond the control of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The following is a description of important factors that may cause the actual results
of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or discussed in forward-
looking statements set forth in this Report relating to our financial results, operations and business prospects. Forward-looking statements and such
risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or
revise any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by law.
Risks Related to Our Real Estate Investments and Our Operations
Unfavorable Apartment Market and Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Occupancy Levels, Rental Revenues and the Value of Our
Real Estate Assets. Unfavorable market conditions in the areas in which we operate or unfavorable economic conditions generally may significantly
affect our occupancy levels, our rental rates and collections, the value of our properties and our ability to acquire or dispose of apartment communities
on economically favorable terms. Our ability to lease our properties at favorable rates is adversely affected by the increase in supply in the multifamily
and other rental markets and is dependent upon the overall level in the economy, which is adversely affected by, among other things, job losses and
unemployment levels, recession, debt levels, housing markets, stock market volatility and uncertainty about the future. Some of our major expenses
generally do not decline when related rents decline. We would expect that declines in our occupancy levels and rental revenues would cause us to have
less cash available to pay our indebtedness and to distribute to UDR’s stockholders, which could adversely affect our financial condition or the market
value of our securities. Factors that may affect our occupancy levels, our rental revenues, and/or the value of our properties include the following,
among others:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
downturns in the global, national, regional and local economic conditions, particularly increases in unemployment;
declines in mortgage interest rates, making alternative housing more affordable;
government or builder incentives with respect to home ownership, making alternative housing options more attractive;
local real estate market conditions, including oversupply of, or reduced demand for, apartment homes;
declines in the financial condition of our tenants, which may make it more difficult for us to collect rents from some tenants;
changes in market rental rates;
our ability to renew leases or re-lease space on favorable terms;
the timing and costs associated with property improvements, repairs or renovations;
changes in household formation; and
rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating or impacting rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset
increases in operating costs or otherwise impact us.
The Geographic Concentration of Our Communities in Certain Markets Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Operations if a Particular
Market is Adversely Impacted by Economic or Other Conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2019, approximately 52.7% of our total NOI was
generated from communities located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (16.2%), Orange County, CA (14.2%), the San Francisco Bay Area, CA
(12.2%) and New York, NY (10.1%). As a result, if any one or more of these markets is adversely impacted by regional or local economic conditions or
real estate market conditions, such conditions may have a greater adverse impact on our results of operations than if our portfolio was more
geographically diverse. In addition, if one or more of these markets is adversely affected by changes in regional or local regulations, including those
related to rent control or stabilization, such regulations may have a greater adverse impact on our results of operation than if our portfolio was more
geographically diverse.

Table of Contents
We May Be Unable to Renew Leases or Relet Apartment Units as Leases Expire, or the Terms of Renewals or New Leases May Be Less
Favorable Than Current Leases. When our residents decide to leave our apartments, whether because they decide not to renew their leases or they leave
prior to their lease expiration date, we may not be able to relet their apartment units. Even if the residents do renew or we can relet the apartment units,
the terms of renewal or reletting may be less favorable than current lease terms. Furthermore, because the majority of our apartment leases have initial
terms of 12 months or less, our rental revenues are impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms. If we are
unable to promptly renew the leases or relet the apartment units, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting are lower than expected rates, then our
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. If residents do not experience increases in their income, we may be unable to
increase rent and/or delinquencies may increase.
We Face Certain Risks Related to Our Retail and Commercial Space. Certain of our properties include retail or commercial space that we lease
to third parties. The long term nature of our retail and commercial leases (generally five to ten years with market-based or fixed-price renewal options)
and the characteristics of many of our tenants (generally small and/or local businesses) may subject us to certain risks. The longer term leases could
result in below market lease rates over time. Tenants may provide guarantees and other credit support which may prove to be inadequate or
uncollectable, and the failure rate of small and/or local businesses may be higher than average. We may not be able to lease new space for rents that are
consistent with our projections or for market rates. Also, when leases for our retail or commercial space terminate either at the end of the lease or
because a tenant leaves early, the space may not be relet or the terms of reletting, including the cost of allowances and concessions to tenants, may be
less favorable than the prior lease terms. Our properties compete with other properties with retail or commercial space. The presence of competitive
alternatives may adversely affect our ability to lease space and the level of rents we can obtain. If our retail or commercial tenants experience financial
distress or bankruptcy, they may fail to comply with their contractual obligations, seek concessions in order to continue operations, or cease their
operations, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Risk of Inflation/Deflation. Substantial inflationary or deflationary pressures could have a negative effect on rental rates and property operating
expenses. The general risk of inflation is that interest on our debt, general and administrative expenses and other expenses increase at a rate faster than
increases in our rental rates, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We Are Subject to Certain Risks Associated with Selling Apartment Communities, Which Could Limit Our Operational and Financial
Flexibility. We periodically dispose of apartment communities that no longer meet our strategic objectives, but adverse market conditions may make it
difficult to sell apartment communities we own. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms we set, or
whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find
a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Furthermore, we may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements
before a property can be sold or the purchase price may be reduced to cover any cost of correcting defects or making improvements. These conditions
may limit our ability to dispose of properties and to change our portfolio in order to meet our strategic objectives, which could in turn adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations or our ability to fund other activities in which we may want to engage such as the purchase of properties,
development or redevelopment, or funding the Developer Capital Program. We are also subject to the following risks in connection with sales of our
apartment communities, among others:
●
●
a significant portion of the proceeds from property sales may be held by intermediaries in order for some sales to qualify as like-kind
exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” so that any related capital gain can be
deferred for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we may not have immediate access to all of the cash proceeds generated from our
property sales; and
federal tax laws limit our ability to profit on the sale of communities that we have owned for less than two years, and this limitation may
prevent us from selling communities when market conditions are favorable.
Competition Could Limit Our Ability to Lease Apartment Homes or Increase or Maintain Rents. Our apartment communities compete with
numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including other apartment communities, condominiums and single-family rental homes, as well as
owner occupied single- and multi-family homes. Competitive housing in a particular area could adversely affect our ability to lease apartment homes
and increase or maintain rents, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents
We May Not Realize the Anticipated Benefits of Past or Future Acquisitions, and the Failure to Integrate Acquired Communities and New
Personnel Successfully Could Create Inefficiencies. We have selectively acquired in the past, and if presented with attractive opportunities we intend to
selectively acquire in the future, apartment communities that meet our investment criteria. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the
following risks, among others:
● we may be unable to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms, including but not limited to interest rates, term and/or loan-to-
value ratios, or at all, all of which could cause us to delay or even abandon potential acquisitions;
●
●
even if we are able to finance the acquisition, cash flow from the acquisition may be insufficient to meet our required principal and
interest payments on the debt used to finance the acquisition;
even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for an apartment community, we may not complete the acquisition for a variety of reasons
after incurring certain acquisition-related costs;
● we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of potential
acquisitions, including potential acquisitions that we subsequently do not complete;
● when we acquire an apartment community, we may invest additional amounts in it with the intention of increasing profitability, and these
additional investments may not produce the anticipated improvements in profitability;
●
the expected occupancy rates and rental rates may differ from actual results; and
● we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate acquired apartment communities and new personnel into our existing operations,
and the failure to successfully integrate such apartment communities or personnel will result in inefficiencies that could materially and
adversely affect our expected return on our investments and our overall profitability.
Competition Could Adversely Affect Our Ability to Acquire Properties. In the past, other real estate investors, including insurance companies,
pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment companies and other public and private apartment REITs, have competed with us to
acquire existing properties and to develop new properties, and such competition in the future may make it more difficult for us to acquire attractive
investment opportunities on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our ability to grow or acquire properties profitably or with attractive returns.
Development and Construction Risks Could Impact Our Profitability. In the past we have selectively pursued the development and
construction of apartment communities, and we intend to do so in the future as appropriate opportunities arise. Development activities have been, and in
the future may be, conducted through wholly-owned affiliated companies or through joint ventures with unaffiliated parties. Our development and
construction activities are subject to the following risks, among others:
● we may be unable to obtain construction financing for development activities on favorable terms, including but not limited to interest
rates, term and/or loan-to-value ratios, or at all, which could cause us to delay or even abandon potential developments;
● we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental
or quasi-governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased development costs, could delay initial occupancy dates
for all or a portion of a development community, and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project for which
we are unable to obtain permits or authorizations;
●
cost may be higher or yields may be less than anticipated as a result of delays in completing projects, costs that exceed budget and/or
higher than expected concessions for lease up and lower rents than expected;
● we may abandon development opportunities that we have already begun to explore, and we may fail to recover expenses already incurred
in connection with exploring such development opportunities;
● we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of a community on schedule, or incur development or construction costs that
exceed our original estimates, and we may be unable to charge rents that would compensate for any increase in such costs;
13
Table of Contents
●
occupancy rates, rents and concessions at a newly developed community may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including
market and economic conditions, preventing us from meeting our expected return on our investment and our overall profitability goals;
and
● when we sell communities or properties that we developed or renovated to third parties, we may be subject to warranty or construction
defect claims that are uninsured or exceed the limits of our insurance.
Bankruptcy or Defaults of Our Counterparties Could Adversely Affect Our Performance. We have relationships with and, from time to time,
we execute transactions with or receive services from many counterparties, such as general contractors engaged in connection with our development
activities or joint venture partners, among others. As a result, bankruptcies or defaults by these counterparties or their subcontractors could result in
services not being provided, projects not being completed on time, or on budget, or at all, or volatility in the financial markets and economic weakness
could affect the counterparties’ ability to complete transactions with us as intended, both of which could result in disruptions to our operations that may
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Property Ownership Through Partnerships and Joint Ventures May Limit Our Ability to Act Exclusively in Our Interest. We have in the past
and may in the future develop and/or acquire properties in partnerships and joint ventures, including those in which we own a preferred interest, with
other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. As of December 31, 2019, we had active joint ventures and
partnerships, including our preferred equity investments, with a total equity investment of $588.3 million. We could become engaged in a dispute with
one or more of our partners which could adversely impact us. Moreover, our partners may have business, economic or other objectives that are
inconsistent with our objectives, including objectives that relate to the appropriate timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. In some
instances, our partners may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. Also, our partners might fail to make capital
contributions when due, which may require us to contribute additional capital or may negatively impact the project. In addition, we may be responsible
to our partners for indemnifiable losses. In general, we and our partners may each have the right to trigger a buy-sell arrangement, which could cause us
to sell our interest, or acquire our partner’s interest, at a time when we otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction and may result in the
valuation of our interest in the partnership or joint venture (if we are the seller) or of the other partner’s interest in the partnership or joint venture (if we
are the buyer) at levels which may not be representative of the valuation that would result from an arm’s length marketing process and could cause us to
recognize unanticipated capital gains or losses or the loss of fee income.
We are also subject to other risks in connection with partnerships or joint ventures, including (i) a deadlock if we and our partner are unable to
agree upon certain major and other decisions (which could result in litigation or disposing of an asset at a time at which we otherwise would not sell the
asset), (ii) limitations on our ability to liquidate our position in the partnership or joint venture without the consent of the other partner, and (iii)
requirements to provide guarantees in favor of lenders with respect to the indebtedness of the joint venture.
We May Not be Permitted to Dispose of Certain Properties or Pay Down the Indebtedness Associated with Those Properties When We Might
Otherwise Desire to do so Without Incurring Additional Costs. In connection with certain property acquisitions, we have agreed with the sellers that we
will not dispose of the acquired properties or reduce the mortgage indebtedness on such properties for significant periods of time unless we pay certain
of the resulting tax costs of the sellers or dispose of the property in a transaction in which a gain is not recognized for federal income tax purposes by
such sellers, and we may enter into similar agreements in connection with future property acquisitions. These agreements could result in us retaining
properties that we would otherwise sell or not paying down or refinancing indebtedness that we would otherwise pay down or refinance. However,
subject to certain conditions, we retain the right to substitute other property or debt to meet these obligations to the sellers.
We Could Incur Significant Insurance Costs and Some Potential Losses May Not Be Adequately Covered by Insurance. We have a
comprehensive insurance program covering our properties and operating activities with limits of liability, deductibles and self-insured retentions
customary within the multifamily industry. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There
are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses which may not be adequately covered under our insurance program. In addition, we will sustain
losses due to insurance deductibles, self-insured retention, uninsured claims or casualties, or losses in excess of applicable coverage.
If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as
well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other
financial obligations related to the property. Material losses
14
Table of Contents
in excess of insurance proceeds may occur in the future. If one or more of our significant properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could
seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could materially and adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The cost of insuring our apartment communities is a component of expense. Insurance premiums and the terms and conditions of insurance
policies are subject to significant fluctuations and changes, which are generally outside of our control. We insure our properties with insurance
companies that we believe have a good rating at the time our policies are put into effect. The financial condition of one or more insurance companies
that we hold policies with may be negatively impacted, which could result in their inability to pay on future insurance claims. Their inability to pay
future claims may have a negative impact on our financial results. In addition, the failure, or exit or partial exit from an insurance market, of one or
more insurance companies may affect our ability to obtain insurance coverage in the amounts that we seek, or at all, or increase the costs to renew or
replace our insurance policies, or cause us to self-insure a portion of the risk, or increase the cost of insuring properties.
Failure to Succeed in New Markets May Limit Our Growth. We have acquired in the past, and we may acquire in the future if appropriate
opportunities arise, apartment communities that are outside of our existing markets. Entering into new markets may expose us to a variety of risks, and
we may not be able to operate successfully in new markets. These risks include, among others:
●
●
●
●
inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market conditions and local economies;
inability to hire and retain key personnel;
lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
inability to achieve budgeted financial results.
Failure to Succeed with New Initiatives May Limit Our Ability to Grow Same-Store NOI. We have in the past developed and may in the future
develop initiatives that are intended to drive operating efficiencies and grow same-store NOI, including smart home technologies and self-service
options that are accessible to residents through smart devices. We may incur significant costs and divert resources in connection with such initiatives,
and these initiatives may not perform as projected, which could adversely affect our results of operations and the market price of UDR’s common stock.
Potential Liability for Environmental Contamination Could Result in Substantial Costs. Under various federal, state and local environmental
laws, as a current or former owner or operator of real estate, we could be required to investigate and remediate the effects of contamination of currently
or formerly owned real estate by hazardous or toxic substances, often regardless of our knowledge of or responsibility for the contamination and solely
by virtue of our current or former ownership or operation of the real estate. In addition, we could be held liable to a governmental authority or to third
parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination or we could be required to incur
additional costs to change how the property is constructed or operated due to presence of such substances. These costs could be substantial, and in many
cases environmental laws create liens in favor of governmental authorities to secure their payment. The presence of such substances or a failure to
properly remediate any resulting contamination could materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property.
In addition, our properties are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, including laws governing the
management of wastes and underground and aboveground storage tanks. Noncompliance with these environmental, health and safety laws could subject
us to liability. Changes in laws could increase the potential costs of compliance with environmental laws, health and safety laws or increase liability for
noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
As the owner or operator of real property, we may also incur liability based on various building conditions. For example, buildings and other
structures on properties that we currently own or operate or those we acquire or operate in the future contain, may contain, or may have contained,
asbestos-containing material, or ACM. Environmental, health and safety laws require that ACM be properly managed and maintained and may impose
fines or penalties on owners, operators or employers for non-compliance with those requirements.
15
Table of Contents
These requirements include special precautions, such as removal, abatement or air monitoring, if ACM would be disturbed during
maintenance, renovation or demolition of a building, potentially resulting in substantial costs. In addition, we may be subject to liability for personal
injury or property damage sustained as a result of exposure to ACM or releases of ACM into the environment.
We cannot assure you that costs or liabilities incurred as a result of environmental or building condition issues will not adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
Our Properties May Contain or Develop Harmful Mold or Suffer from Other Indoor Air Quality Issues, Which Could Lead to Liability for
Adverse Health Effects or Property Damage or Cost for Remediation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold
growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce
airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources,
and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants can be alleged to cause a variety of
adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants
at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants or to
increase ventilation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne
contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants or others for property damage or personal injury.
Compliance or Failure to Comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or Other Safety Regulations and Requirements Could
Result in Substantial Costs. The Americans with Disabilities Act generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, be made accessible
to disabled persons. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants.
Claims have been asserted, and in the future claims may be asserted, against us with respect to some of our properties under the Americans with
Disabilities Act. If, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of
our properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if claims
arise, we may expend resources and incur costs in investigating and resolving such claims even if our property was in compliance with the law.
Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements
and federal, state and local accessibility requirements in addition to those imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act. If we fail to comply with
these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance
with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
The Adoption of, or Changes to, Rent Control, Rent Stabilization, Eviction, Tenants’ Rights and Similar Laws and Regulations in Our Markets
Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations and Property Values. Various state and local governments have enacted and may continue
to enact rent control, rent stabilization, or limitations, and similar laws and regulations that could limit our ability to raise rents or charge certain fees,
including laws or court orders, either of which could have a retroactive effect. For example, in June 2019, the State of New York enacted new rent
control regulations known as the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 and, in October of 2019, the State of California enacted the
Tenant Protection Act of 2019. We have seen a recent increase in governments enacting or considering, or being urged to consider, such laws and
regulations. State and local governments or courts also may make changes to laws related to allowable fees, eviction and other tenants’ rights laws and
regulations (including changes that apply retroactively) that could adversely impact our results of operations and the value of our properties. Laws and
regulations regarding rent control, rent stabilization, eviction, tenants’ rights, and similar matters, as well as any lawsuits against us arising from such
laws and regulations, may limit our ability to charge market rents, limit our ability to increase rents, evict delinquent tenants or change fees, or recover
increases in our operating expenses, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of our properties.
Compliance with or Changes in Real Estate Tax and Other Laws and Regulations Could Adversely Affect Our Funds from Operations and Our
Ability to Make Distributions to Stockholders. We are subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations, rules and ordinances at locations where we
operate regarding a wide variety of matters that could affect, directly or indirectly, our operations. Generally, we do not directly pass through costs
resulting from compliance with or changes in real estate tax laws to residential property tenants. We also do not generally pass through increases in
income, service or other taxes to tenants under leases. These costs may adversely affect net operating income and the
16
Table of Contents
ability to make distributions to stockholders. Similarly, compliance with or changes in (i) laws increasing the potential liability for environmental
conditions existing on properties or the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, (ii) laws and regulations regulating housing, such as the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or (iii) employment related laws, may result in significant
unanticipated expenditures, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in federal and state
legislation and regulation on climate change may result in increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing communities
and also may require us to spend more on our new development communities without a corresponding increase in revenue.
Risk of Damage from Catastrophic Weather and Natural Events. Our communities are located in areas that may experience catastrophic
weather and other natural events from time to time, including mudslides, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, snow or ice storms, or other severe
inclement weather. These adverse weather and natural events could cause damage or losses that may be greater than insured levels. In the event of a loss
in excess of insured limits, we could lose our capital invested in the affected community, as well as anticipated future revenue from that community. We
would also continue to be obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the community. Any such loss could adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Risk of Potential Climate Change. To the extent significant changes in the climate in areas where our communities are located occur, we may
experience extreme weather conditions and changes in precipitation and temperature, all of which could result in physical damage to, and/or a decrease
in demand for, our communities located in these areas or communities that are otherwise affected by these changes. Should the impact of such climate
changes be material in nature, or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risk of Earthquake Damage. Some of our communities are located in areas subject to earthquakes, including in the general vicinity of
earthquake faults. We cannot assure you that an earthquake would not cause damage or losses greater than insured levels. In the event of a loss in excess
of insured limits, we could lose our capital invested in the affected community, as well as anticipated future revenue from that community. We may also
continue to be obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the community. Any such loss could adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations. Insurance coverage for earthquakes can be costly due to limited industry capacity. As a result, we may
experience shortages in desired coverage levels if market conditions are such that insurance is not available or the cost of insurance makes it, in
management’s view, economically impractical.
Risk of Accidental Death or Injury Due to Fire, Natural Disasters or Other Hazards. The accidental death or injury of persons living in our
communities due to fire, natural disasters or other hazards could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our insurance
coverage may not cover all losses associated with such events, and we may experience difficulty marketing communities where any such events have
occurred, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Actual or Threatened Terrorist Attacks May Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business and Operating Results and Could Decrease the Value of
Our Assets. Actual or threatened terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Attacks that directly impact one or more of our apartment communities could significantly affect our ability to operate those communities and thereby
impair our ability to achieve our expected results. Further, our insurance coverage may not cover all losses caused by a terrorist attack. In addition, the
adverse effects that such violent acts and threats of future attacks could have on the U.S. economy could similarly have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
Risk of Pandemics or Other Health Crisis. A pandemic, epidemic, or other health crisis where our communities are located or areas in which
vendors on which we rely are located, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Mezzanine Loan Assets Involve Greater Risks of Loss than Senior Loans Secured by Income-Producing Properties. We have in the past and
may in the future originate mezzanine loans, which take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying property or
subordinated loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the property or a pledge of the ownership interests of the
entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the property. Mezzanine loans may involve a higher degree of risk than a senior mortgage secured by
real property, because the security for the loan may lose all or substantially all of its value as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender and because it is
in second position and there may not be adequate equity in the property. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership
interests as security, we may
17
Table of Contents
not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on
our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt.
As a result, we may not recover some of or all our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans typically have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional
mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the property and increasing the risk of loss of principal.
Risk Related to Preferred Equity Investments. We have in the past and may in the future make preferred equity investments in corporations,
limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities that have been formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing or managing real
property. Generally, we will not have the ability to control the daily operations of the entity, and we will not have the ability to select or remove a
majority of the members of the board of directors, managers, general partner or partners or similar governing body of the entity or otherwise control its
operations. Although we would seek to maintain sufficient influence over the entity to achieve our objectives, our partners may have interests that differ
from ours and may be in a position to take actions without our consent or that are inconsistent with our interests. Further, if our partners were to fail to
invest additional capital in the entity when required, we may have to invest additional capital to protect our investment. Our partners may fail to develop
or operate the real property or refinance property indebtedness or sell the real property in the manner intended and as a result the entity may not be able
to redeem our investment or pay the return expected to us in a timely manner if at all. In addition, we may not be able to dispose of our investment in
the entity in a timely manner or at the price at which we would want to divest. In the event that such an entity fails to meet expectations or becomes
insolvent, we may lose our entire investment in the entity.
Risks Related to Ground Leases. We have in the past and may in the future enter into, as either landlord or tenant, a long-term ground lease
with respect to a property or a portion thereof. Such ground leases may contain a rent reset provision that requires both parties to agree to a new rent or
is based upon factors, for example fair market rent, that are not objective and are not within our control. We may not be able to agree with the
counterparty to a revised rental rate, or the revised rental rate may be set by external factors, which could result in a different rental rate than we
forecasted. In the past we have had disagreements with respect to revised rental rates and certain of such disagreements have gone to arbitration (for
resolution as provided in the applicable lease agreement) and have been resolved in a manner adverse to us. In addition, the other party may not perform
as expected under the ground lease or there may be a dispute with the other party to the ground lease. Any of these circumstances could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
We May Experience a Decline in the Fair Value of Our Assets and Be Forced to Recognize Impairment Charges, Which Could Adversely
Impact Our Financial Condition, Liquidity and Results of Operations and the Market Price of UDR’s Common Stock. A decline in the fair value of our
assets may require us to recognize an impairment against such assets under generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States
(“GAAP”), if we were to determine that, with respect to any assets in unrealized loss positions, we do not have the ability and intent to hold such assets
for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery to the amortized cost of such assets. If such a determination were to be made, we would recognize
unrealized losses through earnings and write down the amortized cost of such assets to a new cost basis, based on the fair value of such assets on the
date they are considered to be impaired. Such impairment charges reflect non-cash losses at the time of recognition; subsequent disposition or sale of
such assets could further affect our future losses or gains, as they are based on the difference between the sale price received and adjusted amortized
cost of such assets at the time of sale. If we are required to recognize asset impairment charges in the future, these charges could adversely affect our
financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and the per share trading price of UDR’s common stock.
Any Material Weaknesses Identified in Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Could Have an Adverse Effect on UDR’s Stock Price.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain
the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls as a result of
changes to our business or otherwise, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely harmed and we could fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, if we have one or more material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn
could have an adverse effect on the per share trading price of UDR’s common stock.
A Breach of Information Technology Systems On Which We Rely Could Materially and Adversely Impact Our Business, Financial Condition,
Results of Operations and Reputation. We rely on information technology systems, including the internet and networks and systems maintained and
controlled by third party vendors and other third parties,
18
Table of Contents
to process, transmit and store information and to manage or support our business processes. Third party vendors collect and hold personally identifiable
information and other confidential information of our tenants, prospective tenants and employees. We also maintain confidential financial and business
information regarding us and persons and entities with which we do business on our information technology systems. While we take steps, and
generally require third party vendors to take steps, to protect the security of the information maintained in our and third party vendors’ information
technology systems, including associate training and testing and the use of commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide
security for processing, transmitting and storing of the information, it is possible that our or our third party vendors’ security measures will not be able
to prevent human error or the systems’ improper functioning, or the loss, misappropriation, disclosure or corruption of personally identifiable
information or other confidential or sensitive information, including information about our tenants and employees. Cybersecurity breaches, including
physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, phishing scams, attacks by hackers, breaches due to employee error or misconduct, and similar
breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access to information maintained on our information technology systems or the
information technology systems of our third party vendors or other third parties or otherwise cause disruption or negative impacts to occur to our
business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. While we maintain cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for
certain risks arising out of cybersecurity breaches, there is no assurance that such insurance would cover all or a significant portion of the costs or
consequences associated with a cybersecurity breach. We have in the past experienced cybersecurity breaches on our information technology systems,
and, while none to date have been material, we expect such breaches may occur in the future. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to
information technology systems become more varied and sophisticated and the occurrence of such breaches becomes more frequent, we and our third
party vendors and other third parties may be unable to adequately anticipate these techniques or breaches and implement appropriate preventative
measures. Any failure to prevent cybersecurity breaches and maintain the proper function, security and availability of our or our third party vendors’
and other third parties’ information technology systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation and brand, damage our competitive
position, make it difficult for us to attract and retain tenants, and subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties that could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Business and Operations Would Suffer in the Event of Information Technology System Failures. Despite system redundancy and the
existence of a disaster recovery plan for our information technology systems, our information technology systems and the information technology
systems maintained by our third party vendors are vulnerable to damage arising from any number of sources beyond our or our third party vendors’
control, including energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, and telecommunication failures. Any failure to maintain proper function and
availability of our or third party vendors’ information technology systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability
claims or regulatory penalties and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Social Media Presents Risks. The use of social media could cause us to suffer brand damage or unintended information disclosure. Negative
posts or communications about us on a social networking website could damage our reputation. Further, employees or others may disclose non-public
information regarding us or our business or otherwise make negative comments regarding us on social networking or other websites, which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations. As social media evolves we will be presented with new risks and challenges.
Our Success Depends on Our Senior Management. Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, whose continued
service is not guaranteed. We may not be able to find qualified replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services
should no longer be available to us. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in U.S. Accounting Standards May Materially and Adversely Affect Our Reported Results of Operations. Accounting for public
companies in the United States is in accordance with GAAP, which is established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), an
independent body whose standards are recognized by the SEC as authoritative for publicly held companies. Uncertainties posed by various initiatives of
accounting standard-setting by the FASB and the SEC, which create and interpret applicable accounting standards for U.S. companies, may change the
financial accounting and reporting standards or their interpretation and application of these standards that govern the preparation of our financial
statements. These changes could have a material impact on our reported financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be
required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in potentially material restatements of prior period financial statements.

Third-Party Expectations Relating to Environmental, Social and Governance Factors May Impose Additional Costs and Expose Us to New
Risks. There is an increasing focus from certain investors, tenants, employees, and other stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility, specifically
related to environmental, social and governance factors. Some investors may use these factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases,
may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to corporate responsibility are inadequate. Third-party providers of corporate
responsibility ratings and reports on companies have increased in number, resulting in varied and in some cases inconsistent standards. In addition, the
criteria by which companies’ corporate responsibility practices are assessed are evolving, which could result in greater expectations of us and cause us
to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. Alternatively, if we elect not to or are unable to satisfy such new criteria or do not meet the
criteria of a specific third-party provider, some investors may conclude that our policies with respect to corporate responsibility are inadequate. We may
face reputational damage in the event that our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not meet the standards set by various constituencies.
Furthermore, if our competitors’ corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be greater than ours, potential or current investors may elect to
invest with our competitors instead. In addition, in the event that we communicate certain initiatives and goals regarding environmental, social and
governance matters, we could fail, or be perceived to fail, in our achievement of such initiatives or goals, or we could be criticized for the scope of such
initiatives or goals. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors, tenants and other stakeholders or our initiatives are not executed as planned, our
reputation and financial results could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Financings
Insufficient Cash Flow Could Affect Our Debt Financing and Create Refinancing Risk. We are subject to the risks normally associated with
debt financing, including the risk that our operating income and cash flow will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, or
could restrict our borrowing capacity under our line of credit due to debt covenant restraints. Sufficient cash flow may not be available to make all
required debt payments and satisfy UDR’s distribution requirements to maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In addition, the
amounts under our line of credit may not be available to us and we may not be able to access the commercial paper market if our operating performance
falls outside the constraints of our debt covenants. We are also likely to need to refinance substantially all of our outstanding debt as it matures. We may
not be able to refinance existing debt, or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt, which could create
pressures to sell assets or to issue additional equity when we would otherwise not choose to do so. In addition, our failure to comply with our debt
covenants could result in a requirement to repay our indebtedness prior to its maturity, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and cash flow, and increase our financing costs and impact our ability to make distributions to UDR’s stockholders.
Failure to Generate Sufficient Income Could Impair Debt Service Payments and Distributions to Stockholders. If our apartment communities
do not generate sufficient revenue to meet rental expenses, our ability to make required payments of interest and principal on our debt securities and to
pay distributions to UDR’s stockholders or the Operating Partnership’s or the DownREIT Partnership’s unitholders will be adversely affected. The
following factors, among others, may affect the income generated by our apartment communities:
●
●
●
●
●
●

●
●
the national and local economies;
local real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply of apartment homes;
tenants’ perceptions of the safety, convenience, and attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where they are located;
our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance;
rental expenses, including real estate taxes and utilities;
competition from other apartment communities;
changes in interest rates and the availability of financing;
changes in governmental regulations and the related costs of compliance; and
changes in tax and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing.
20
Table of Contents
Expenses associated with our investment in an apartment community, such as debt service, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs,
are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenue from that community. If a community is mortgaged to secure payment of
debt and we are unable to make the mortgage payments, we could sustain a loss as a result of foreclosure on the community or the exercise of other
remedies by the mortgage holder.
Changing Interest Rates Could Increase Interest Costs and Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and the Market Price of Our Securities. We
currently have, and expect to incur in the future, interest-bearing debt, including unsecured commercial paper, at rates that vary with market interest
rates. As of December 31, 2019, UDR had approximately $378.6 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding, which constitutes approximately
8.0% of total outstanding indebtedness as of such date. As of December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership had approximately $27.0 million of
variable rate indebtedness outstanding, which constitutes approximately 27.1% of total outstanding indebtedness as of such date. An increase in interest
rates would increase our interest expenses and increase the costs of refinancing existing indebtedness and of issuing new debt, including unsecured
commercial paper. Accordingly, higher interest rates could adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service our debt and to make distributions to
security holders. The effect of prolonged interest rate increases could negatively impact our ability to make acquisitions and develop properties.
The Phase-Out of LIBOR and Transition to SOFR as a Benchmark Interest Rate Could Have Adverse Effects. In 2018, the Alternative
Reference Rate Committee identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the alternative to LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the
cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. By the end of 2021,
it is expected that new contracts will not reference LIBOR and will instead use SOFR. Due to the broad use of LIBOR as a reference rate, all financial
market participants, including us, are impacted by the risks associated with this transition and therefore it could adversely affect our operations and cash
flows.
Our Debt Level May Be Increased. Our ability to incur debt is limited by covenants in our bank and other credit agreements. We manage our
debt to be in compliance with these debt covenants, but subject to compliance with these covenants, we may increase the amount of our debt at any time
without a concurrent improvement in our ability to service the additional debt.
Financing May Not Be Available and Could Be Dilutive. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate
blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit, construction loans and other forms of secured debt, commercial paper and other forms of
unsecured debt, and equity financing, including common and preferred equity. We and other companies in the real estate industry have experienced
limited availability of financing from time to time, including due to regulatory changes directly or indirectly affecting financing markets, for example
the changes in terms on construction loans brought about by the Basel III capital requirements and the associated “High Volatility Commercial Real
Estate” designation, which has adversely impacted the availability of loans, including construction loans, and the proceeds of and the interest rate
thereon. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financing or refinancing for our properties. If we issue additional equity
securities to finance developments and acquisitions instead of incurring debt, the interests of UDR’s existing stockholders could be diluted.
Failure To Maintain Our Current Credit Ratings Could Adversely Affect Our Cost of Funds, Related Margins, Liquidity, and Access to Capital
Markets. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s routinely evaluate our debt and have given us ratings on our senior unsecured debt, commercial paper
program and preferred stock. These ratings are based on a number of factors, which included their assessment of our financial strength, liquidity, capital
structure, asset quality, and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. Due to changes in these factors and market conditions, we may not be able to
maintain our current credit ratings, which could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, and access to capital markets,
including our ability to access the commercial paper market.
Disruptions in Financial Markets May Adversely Impact Availability and Cost of Credit and Have Other Adverse Effects on Us and the Market
Price of UDR’s Stock. Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our debt obligations will depend on our operating and financial
performance, which in turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. During the
global financial crisis and the economic recession that followed it, the United States stock and credit markets experienced significant price volatility,
dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on debt financings to widen
considerably. Those circumstances materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets at times, making terms for certain financings less attractive,
and in some cases resulted in the unavailability of financing, such as the commercial paper market. Any future disruptions or uncertainty in the stock
and credit markets may negatively impact our ability to refinance existing indebtedness and access additional financing for
21
Table of Contents
acquisitions, development of our properties and other purposes at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect our business and the market
price of UDR’s common stock. If we are not successful in refinancing our existing indebtedness when it becomes due, we may be forced to dispose of
properties on disadvantageous terms, which might adversely affect our ability to service other debt and to meet our other obligations. A prolonged
downturn in the financial markets may cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our
business plan accordingly. These events also may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of UDR’s common or
preferred stock.
A Change in U.S. Government Policy or Support Regarding Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac Could Have a Material Adverse Impact on Our
Business. While in recent years we have decreased our borrowing from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a major source
of financing to participants in the multifamily housing market including potential purchasers of our properties. Potential options for the future of agency
mortgage financing in the U.S. have been, and may in the future be, suggested that could involve a reduction in the amount of financing Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac are able to provide, limitations on the loans that the agencies may make, which may not include loans secured by properties like our
properties, or the phase out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While we believe Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will continue to provide liquidity to our
sector, should they discontinue doing so, have their mandates changed or reduced or be disbanded or reorganized by the government, or if there is
reduced government support for multifamily housing generally, it may adversely affect interest rates, capital availability, development of multifamily
communities and the value of multifamily residential real estate and, as a result, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The Soundness of Financial Institutions Could Adversely Affect Us. We have relationships with many financial institutions, including lenders
under our credit facilities, and, from time to time, we execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry. As a result, defaults by,
or even rumors or questions about, financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, could result in losses or defaults by these
institutions. In the event that the volatility of the financial markets adversely affects these financial institutions or counterparties, we or other parties to
the transactions with us may be unable to complete transactions as intended, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Interest Rate Hedging Contracts May Be Ineffective and May Result in Material Charges. From time to time when we anticipate issuing debt
securities, we may seek to limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates during the period prior to the pricing of the securities by entering into
interest rate hedging contracts. We may do this to increase the predictability of our financing costs. Also, from time to time we may rely on interest rate
hedging contracts to limit our exposure under variable rate debt to unfavorable changes in market interest rates. If the terms of new debt securities are
not within the parameters of, or market interest rates fall below that which we incur under a particular interest rate hedging contract, the contract is
ineffective. Furthermore, the settlement of interest rate hedging contracts has involved and may in the future involve material charges. In addition, our
use of interest rate hedging arrangements may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that a counterparty to a hedging arrangement may fail to
honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with
interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or
financial condition. Termination of these hedging agreements typically involves costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs.
Risks Related to Tax Laws
We Would Incur Adverse Tax Consequences if UDR Failed to Qualify as a REIT. UDR has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Our
qualification as a REIT requires us to satisfy numerous requirements, some on an annual and quarterly basis, established under highly technical and
complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual
matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. We intend that our current organization and method of operation enable us to continue to
qualify as a REIT, but we may not so qualify or we may not be able to remain so qualified in the future. In addition, U.S. federal income tax laws
governing REITs and other corporations and the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time, potentially with retroactive
effect. Future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT or
adversely affect UDR’s stockholders.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax (including, for periods prior to 2018, any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and would not be allowed to deduct dividends paid to UDR’s
stockholders in computing our taxable income. Also, unless the
22
Table of Contents
Internal Revenue Service granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after
the year in which we first failed to qualify as a REIT. The additional tax liability from the failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce or eliminate the
amount of cash available for investment or distribution to UDR’s stockholders. This would likely have a significant adverse effect on the value of our
securities and our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to UDR’s stockholders. Even if
we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property.
Certain of our subsidiaries have also elected to be taxed as REITs under the Code, and are therefore subject to the same risks in the event that
any such subsidiary fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year.
Dividends Paid by REITs Generally Do Not Qualify for Reduced Tax Rates. In general, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for
dividends paid to individual U.S. stockholders is 20%. Unlike dividends received from a corporation that is not a REIT, our regular dividends (i.e.,
dividends other than capital gain dividends) paid to individual stockholders generally are not eligible for the reduced rates. However, individual U.S.
stockholders generally may deduct 20% of such regular dividends under Section 199A of the Code, reducing the effective tax rate applicable to such
dividends (although such provision will expire after 2025 absent future legislation).
UDR May Conduct a Portion of Our Business Through Taxable REIT Subsidiaries, Which Are Subject to Certain Tax Risks. We have
established taxable REIT subsidiaries. Despite UDR’s qualification as a REIT, its taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay income tax on their taxable
income. In addition, we must comply with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our income from and
investments in our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute permissible income and investments for certain of these tests. While we will
attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification, we cannot provide assurance that
we will successfully achieve that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty tax, we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on
real property sales, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not
deemed to be arm’s length in nature or are otherwise not respected.
REIT Distribution Requirements Limit Our Available Cash. As a REIT, UDR is subject to annual distribution requirements, which limit the
amount of cash we retain for other business purposes, including amounts to fund our growth. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our
net REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, in order for our distributed earnings not to be subject to corporate income tax. We intend to
make distributions to UDR’s stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of
taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell assets or borrow funds on a short-term or long-term basis to meet the 90%
distribution requirement of the Code.
Certain Property Transfers May Generate Prohibited Transaction Income, Resulting in a Penalty Tax on Gain Attributable to the Transaction.
From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under the Code, any gain resulting from transfers of properties that
we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited transaction and
subject to a 100% penalty tax. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we do not believe that our occasional transfers or disposals of
property are prohibited transactions. However, whether property is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and
circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us
are prohibited transactions. If the Internal Revenue Service were to argue successfully that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a prohibited
transaction, then we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction and we may jeopardize our
ability to retain future gains on real property sales. In addition, income from a prohibited transaction might adversely affect UDR’s ability to satisfy the
income tests for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Changes to the U.S. Federal Income Tax Laws, including the Enactment of Certain Tax Reform Measures, Could Have an Adverse Impact on
Our Business and Financial Results. In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the U.S. federal
income tax laws applicable to investments in real estate and REITs, including the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the full impact of
which may not become evident for some period of time. There can be no assurance that future changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulatory
changes will not be proposed or enacted that could impact our business and financial results. The REIT rules are regularly under review by persons
involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the
23
Table of Contents
U.S. Treasury Department, which may result in revisions to regulations and interpretations in addition to statutory changes. If enacted, certain of such
changes could have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.
We cannot predict whether, when or to what extent any new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will impact the real
estate investment industry or REITs. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of potential future changes to the
federal tax laws on an investment in our shares.
We May Be Adversely Affected by Changes in State and Local Tax Laws and May Become Subject to Tax Audits from Time to Time. Because
UDR is organized and qualifies as a REIT, it is generally not subject to federal income taxes, but it is subject to certain state and local taxes. From time
to time, changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for
states and local jurisdictions in which we own apartment communities may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such
changes occur, we may be required to pay additional state and local taxes. These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition and
the amount of cash available for the payment of distributions to UDR’s stockholders. In the normal course of business, we or our affiliates (including
entities through which we own real estate) may also become subject to federal, state or local tax audits. If we (or such entities) become subject to
federal, state or local tax audits, the ultimate result of such audits could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership Intend to Qualify as Partnerships, but Cannot Guarantee That They Will Qualify.
The Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership intend to qualify as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, and intend to take that
position for all income tax reporting purposes. If classified as partnerships, the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership generally will not
be taxable entities and will not incur federal income tax liability. However, the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership would be treated
as corporations for federal income tax purposes if they were “publicly traded partnerships,” unless at least 90% of their income was qualifying income
as defined in the Code. A “publicly traded partnership” is a partnership whose partnership interests are traded on an established securities market or are
readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). Although neither the Operating Partnership’s nor the DownREIT
Partnership’s partnership units are traded on an established securities market, because of the redemption rights of their limited partners, the Operating
Partnership’s and DownREIT Partnership’s units held by limited partners could be viewed as readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial
equivalent thereof), and the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership may not qualify for one of the “safe harbors” under the applicable tax
regulations. Qualifying income for the 90% test generally includes passive income, such as real property rents, dividends and interest. The income
requirements applicable to REITs and the definition of qualifying income for purposes of this 90% test are similar in most respects. The Operating
Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership may not meet this qualifying income test. If either the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership
were to be taxed as a corporation, it would incur substantial tax liabilities, and UDR would then fail to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, unless it
qualified for relief under certain statutory savings provisions, and our ability to raise additional capital would be impaired. In addition, even if the 90%
test were met if the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership were a publicly traded partnership, there could be adverse tax impacts for
certain limited partners.
Qualifying as a REIT Involves Highly Technical and Complex Provisions of the Code. Our qualification as a REIT involves the application of
highly technical and complex Code provisions for which only limited judicial and administrative authorities exist. Even a technical or inadvertent
violation could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Moreover, new legislation, court decisions or administrative guidance, in each case possibly with
retroactive effect, may make it more difficult or impossible for us to qualify as a REIT. Our qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of
certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, shareholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the REIT
income and asset tests depends upon our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a
precise determination and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals, and upon our ability to successfully manage the composition of our
income and assets on an ongoing basis. In addition, our ability to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT depends in part on the actions of third
parties over which we have no control or only limited influence, including in cases where we own an equity interest in an entity that is classified as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Ownership of UDR’s Stock
Changes in Market Conditions and Volatility of Stock Prices Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of UDR’s Common Stock. The stock
markets, including the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on which we list UDR’s common stock, have experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations. As a result, the market price of UDR’s
24
Table of Contents
common stock could be similarly volatile, and investors in UDR’s common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including
decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In addition to the risks listed in this “Risk Factors” section, a number of factors could
negatively affect the price per share of UDR’s common stock, including:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●

general market and economic conditions;
actual or anticipated variations in UDR’s quarterly operating results or dividends or UDR’s payment of dividends in shares of UDR’s
stock;
changes in our funds from operations or earnings estimates;
difficulties or inability to access capital or extend or refinance existing debt;
decreasing (or uncertainty in) real estate valuations;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;
the general reputation of real estate investment trusts and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity
securities (including securities issued by other real estate companies);
general stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest rates on fixed income securities, that may lead prospective
purchasers of UDR’s stock to demand a higher annual yield from future dividends;
a change in analyst ratings;
additions or departures of key management personnel;
adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur in the future;
speculation in the press or investment community;
terrorist activity which may adversely affect the markets in which UDR’s securities trade, possibly increasing market volatility and
causing the further erosion of business and consumer confidence and spending;
failure to qualify as a REIT;
strategic decisions by us or by our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or
changes in business strategy;
failure to satisfy listing requirements of the NYSE;
governmental regulatory action and changes in tax laws; and
the issuance of additional shares of UDR’s common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, including under UDR’s at-the-
market equity distribution program.
Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. These factors may cause the market price of shares of UDR’s common stock to
decline, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business or our prospects.
We May Change the Dividend Policy for UDR’s Common Stock in the Future. The decision to declare and pay dividends on UDR’s common
stock, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will
depend on our earnings, funds from operations, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under
our indebtedness, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, state law and such other factors as our board of directors
considers relevant. Any change in our dividend policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of UDR’s common stock.
Maryland Law May Limit the Ability of a Third Party to Acquire Control of Us, Which May Not be in UDR’s Stockholders’ Best Interests.
Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various Maryland
laws which may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire our Company and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if
our acquisition would be
25
Table of Contents
in UDR’s stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General Corporation Law restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between
us and any person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of UDR’s stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without our board of
directors’ prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting
power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 66 2/3 % of the votes entitled to be
cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. Maryland law also provides generally that a person who acquires shares of
our equity stock that represents 10% (and certain higher levels) of the voting power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a
vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote.
Limitations on Share Ownership and Limitations on the Ability of UDR’s Stockholders to Effect a Change in Control of Our Company
Restricts the Transferability of UDR’s Stock and May Prevent Takeovers That are Beneficial to UDR’s Stockholders. One of the requirements for
maintenance of our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes is that no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may
be owned by five or fewer individuals, including entities specified in the Code, during the last half of any taxable year. Our charter contains ownership
and transfer restrictions relating to UDR’s stock primarily to assist us in complying with this and other REIT ownership requirements; however, the
restrictions may have the effect of preventing a change of control, which does not threaten REIT status. These restrictions include a provision that
generally limits ownership by any person of more than 9.9% of the value of our outstanding equity stock, unless our board of directors exempts the
person from such ownership limitation, provided that any such exemption shall not allow the person to exceed 13% of the value of our outstanding
equity stock. Absent such an exemption from our board of directors, the transfer of UDR’s stock to any person in excess of the applicable ownership
limit, or any transfer of shares of such stock in violation of the ownership requirements of the Code for REITs, will be considered null and void, and the
intended transferee of such stock will acquire no rights in such shares. These provisions of our charter may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing someone from taking control of us, even though a change of control might involve a premium price for UDR’s stockholders or might
otherwise be in UDR’s stockholders’ best interests.

Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF
PART II
EQUITY SECURITIES
UDR, Inc.:
Common Stock
UDR, Inc.’s common stock has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “UDR” since May 7, 1990.
On February 17, 2020, there were 3,255 holders of record of the 294,631,463 outstanding shares of our common stock.
We have determined that, for federal income tax purposes, approximately 73% of the distributions for 2019 represented ordinary income, less
than 1% represented qualified ordinary income, 1% represented long-term capital gain, 5% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain, and 21%
represented nondividend distributions.
UDR pays regular quarterly distributions to holders of its common stock. Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of
Directors and will depend on our actual funds from operations, financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under
the REIT provisions of the Code, and other factors.
Series E Preferred Stock
The Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E”) has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $16.61 per share.
Subject to certain adjustments and conditions, each share of the Series E is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into 1.083 shares of our
common stock. The holders of the Series E are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis as a single class in combination with the holders of common
stock at any meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote.
The Series E has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or any mandatory redemption. In connection with a special dividend (declared
on November 5, 2008), the Company reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series E additional shares of common stock to which a holder of the
Series E would have received if the holder had converted the Series E immediately prior to the record date for this special dividend.
Distributions declared on the Series E for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.4832 per share, or $0.3708 per quarter, and
$1.3968 per share, or $0.3492 per quarter, respectively. The Series E is not listed on any exchange. At December 31, 2019, a total of 2.8 million shares
of the Series E were outstanding.
Series F Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 20.0 million shares of our Series F Preferred Stock (“Series F”). The Series F may be purchased by holders of
our Operating Partnership Units, or OP Units, described below under “Operating Partnership Units,” and holders of limited partnership interests in the
DownREIT Partnership at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share. OP/DownREIT unitholders are entitled to subscribe for and purchase one share of the
Series F for each OP/DownREIT Unit held.
As of December 31, 2019, a total of 14.7 million shares of the Series F were outstanding. Holders of the Series F are entitled to one vote for
each share of the Series F they hold, voting together with the holders of our common stock, on each matter submitted to a vote of security holders at a
meeting of our stockholders. The Series F does not entitle its holders to any other rights, privileges or preferences.
Distribution Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
We have a Distribution Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan under which holders of our common stock may elect to automatically reinvest
their distributions and make additional cash payments to acquire additional shares of our common stock. Stockholders who do not participate in the plan
continue to receive distributions as and when declared. As of February 17, 2020, there were approximately 1,935 participants in the plan.

United Dominion Realty, L.P.:
Operating Partnership Units
There is no established public trading market for United Dominion Realty, L.P.’s Operating Partnership Units. From time to time we issue
shares of our common stock in exchange for OP Units tendered to the Operating Partnership for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the
Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. At December 31, 2019, there were 184.1 million OP Units outstanding in the Operating
Partnership, of which 176.2 million OP Units or 95.7% were owned by UDR and affiliated entities and 7.9 million OP Units or 4.3% were owned by
non-affiliated limited partners. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the holders of OP Units have the right to
require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the holder in exchange for a cash payment based on the market
value of our common stock at the time of redemption. However, the Operating Partnership’s obligation to pay the cash amount is subject to the prior
right of the Company to acquire such OP Units in exchange for either the cash amount or the number of shares of our common stock equal to the
number of OP Units being redeemed.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we issued less than 0.1 million shares of our common stock upon redemption of OP Units
in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Purchases of Equity Securities
In February 2006, UDR’s Board of Directors authorized a 10 million share repurchase program. In January 2008, UDR’s Board of Directors
authorized a new 15 million share repurchase program. Under the two share repurchase programs, UDR may repurchase shares of our common stock in
open market purchases, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The following table summarizes all of UDR’s repurchases of
shares of common stock under these programs during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 (shares in thousands):

(a)
Includes amounts classified as Held for Disposition, where applicable.
(b) Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is defined as Net income/(loss) attributable to common
stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate related to the main business of
the Company or of investments in non-consolidated investees that are directly attributable to decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate
held by the investee, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate related to the main business of the Company and income taxes directly
associated with those gains and losses, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for noncontrolling interests, and the
Company’s share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. This definition conforms with the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trust’s (“Nareit”) definition issued in April 2002 and restated in November 2018. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in
accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for
real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of a
REIT’s operating performance. In the computation of diluted FFO, if OP Units, DownREIT Units, unvested restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units,
stock options, and the shares of Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive, they are included in the diluted share count.
32
Table of Contents
Management considers FFO a useful metric for investors as the Company uses FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating
performance, and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the
Company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is
not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.
See “Funds from Operations” in Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a
reconciliation of Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning property acquisitions and
dispositions, development activity and capital expenditures, capital raising activities, rent growth, occupancy, and rental expense growth. Words such as
“expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “likely,” “will,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, unfavorable changes in the apartment market, changing economic conditions, the
impact of inflation/deflation on rental rates and property operating expenses, expectations concerning the availability of capital and the stability of the
capital markets, the impact of competition and competitive pricing, acquisitions, developments and redevelopments not achieving anticipated results,
delays in completing developments and redevelopments, delays in completing lease-ups on schedule or at expected rent and occupancy levels,
expectations on job growth, home affordability and demand/supply ratio for multifamily housing, expectations concerning development and
redevelopment activities, expectations on occupancy levels and rental rates, expectations concerning joint ventures and partnerships with third parties,
expectations that automation will help grow net operating income, and expectations on annualized net operating income.
The following factors, among others, could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements:
● general economic conditions;
● unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates;
● the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results;
● possible difficulty in selling apartment communities;
● competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease apartment homes or increase or maintain rents;
● insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and create refinancing risk;
● failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our debt service payments and distributions to stockholders;
● development and construction risks that may impact our profitability;
● potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes and other weather-related events, which could result in substantial costs to us;
● risks from climate change that impacts our properties or operations;
● risks from extraordinary losses for which we may not have insurance or adequate reserves;
● risks from cybersecurity breaches of our information technology systems and the information technology systems of our third party vendors
and other third parties;
● uninsured losses due to insurance deductibles, self-insurance retention, uninsured claims or casualties, or losses in excess of applicable
coverage;
● delays in completing developments and lease-ups on schedule;
35
Table of Contents
● our failure to succeed in new markets;
● risks that third parties who have an interest in or are otherwise involved in projects in which we have an interest, including mezzanine
borrowers, joint venture partners or other investors, do not perform as expected;
● changing interest rates, which could increase interest costs and affect the market price of our securities;
● potential liability for environmental contamination, which could result in substantial costs to us;
● the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code in any taxable year;
● our internal control over financial reporting may not be considered effective which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our
financial reports, and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price; and
● changes in real estate laws, tax laws, rent control or stabilization laws or other laws affecting our business.
A discussion of these and other factors affecting our business and prospects is set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. We encourage
investors to review these risk factors.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could be inaccurate, and therefore such statements included in this Report may not prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent
in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other
person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Report, and we expressly disclaim
any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard
thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by
law.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein and is based
primarily on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 of each UDR, Inc. and United Domination
Realty, L.P.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2019 and 2018 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2019 and 2018 of UDR, Inc.
and United Domination Realty, L.P. Discussions of 2017 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2018 and 2017 that are not included in this Form
10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
UDR, Inc.:
Business Overview
We are a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, disposes of,
and manages multifamily apartment communities. We were formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation. In June 2003, we changed our state of
incorporation from Virginia to Maryland. Our subsidiaries include the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership. Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “UDR” refer collectively to UDR, Inc., its subsidiaries and its
consolidated joint ventures.
At December 31, 2019, our consolidated real estate portfolio consisted of 148 communities located in 13 states plus the District of Columbia
consisting of 47,010 apartment homes. In addition, we have an ownership interest in 5,268 completed or to-be-completed apartment homes through
unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 2,138 apartment homes owned by entities in which we hold preferred equity investments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires
management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. A critical accounting policy is one
that is both important to our financial condition and results of operations as well as involves some degree of uncertainty. Estimates are prepared based
on management’s assessment after considering all evidence available. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position or results of operations.
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to understanding our financial condition or results of operations where there is
uncertainty or where significant judgment is required. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting
policies described below, can be found in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to the UDR, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this Report.
Cost Capitalization
In conformity with GAAP, we capitalize those expenditures that materially enhance the value of an existing asset or substantially extend the
useful life of an existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.
In addition to construction costs, we capitalize costs directly related to the predevelopment, development, and redevelopment of a capital
project, which include, but are not limited to, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development and redevelopment overhead related to
support costs for personnel working on the capital projects. We use our professional judgment in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for
capitalization or must be expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its
intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. As each
home in a capital project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the Company ceases capitalization on the related portion. The costs
capitalized are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total Real Estate Owned, Net of Accumulated Depreciation. Amounts capitalized during
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $13.5 million, $18.1 million, and $27.4 million, respectively.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
We may enter into various joint venture agreements and/or partnerships with unrelated third parties to hold or develop real estate assets. We
must determine for each of these ventures whether to consolidate the entity or account for our investment under the equity method of accounting. We
determine whether to consolidate a joint venture or partnership based on our rights and obligations under the venture agreement, applying the applicable
accounting guidance. The application of the rules in evaluating the accounting treatment for each joint venture or partnership is complex and requires
substantial management judgment. We evaluate our accounting for investments on a regular basis including when a significant change in the design of
an entity occurs. Throughout our financial statements, and in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, we use the term “joint venture” or “partnership” when referring to investments in entities in which we do not have a 100% ownership
interest.
We continually evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be
an other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary.
These factors include, but are not limited to, age of the venture, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the entity, the financial condition and
long-term prospects of the entity, and the relationships with the other joint venture partners and its lenders. The amount of loss recognized is the excess
of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. If we believe that the decline in fair value is temporary, no impairment is recorded.
The aforementioned factors are taken as a whole by management in determining the valuation of our investment property. Should the actual results
differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively affected and may result in a negative impact to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of
those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and
our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair market value. Our estimates of fair market
37
Table of Contents
value represent our best estimate based primarily upon unobservable inputs (defined as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy) related to rental rates,
operating costs, growth rates, discount rates, capitalization rates, industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
Real Estate Investment Properties
We purchase real estate investment properties from time to time and record the fair value to various components, such as land, buildings, and
intangibles related to in-place leases, based on the fair value of each component. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase
price, we utilize various sources, including independent appraisals, our own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in our
portfolio and other market data. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at
market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all cash flows expected to be generated from the property
including an initial lease-up period. We determine the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease
relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. In addition, we consider the cost of acquiring similar leases, the foregone rents associated with
the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period. The fair value of in-place leases is recorded and amortized as
amortization expense over the remaining average contractual lease period.
REIT Status
We are a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds
interests in real estate and is required by the Code to meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that a REIT
must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in
any taxable year, we will be subject to federal and state income taxes at the regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for
four years. Based on the net earnings reported for the year ended December 31, 2019 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, we would have
incurred federal and state GAAP income taxes if we had failed to qualify as a REIT.

(a) Monthly Income per Occupied Home represents total monthly revenues divided by the average physical number of occupied apartment homes in
our Same-Store portfolio.
(b) As of December 31, 2019, the Company was developing three wholly owned communities with a total of 878 apartment homes, none of which
have been completed.
We report in two segments: Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other.
Our Same-Store Communities segment represents those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held as
of December 31, 2019. These communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, there
is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment activities, and the communities are not classified as held for disposition at year end. A community is
considered to have stabilized occupancy once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months.
Our Non-Mature Communities/Other segment represents those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store
Communities, including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed
use properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through operating cash flows, sales of properties, borrowings
under our credit agreements, and/or the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations, as
determined by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment homes, and borrowings under our credit
agreements. We routinely use our working capital credit facility and commercial paper program, and may use our unsecured revolving credit facility, to
temporarily fund certain investing and financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing or the issuance of equity or debt securities.
During the past several years, proceeds from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing activities as we continue to execute
on maintaining a diversified portfolio.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by property operations and borrowings under our
credit agreements and our unsecured commercial paper program. We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt
maturities, the repayment of financing on development activities, and potential property acquisitions, through net cash provided by property operations,
secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of debt or equity securities, and/or the disposition of properties. We believe that our net cash provided
by property operations and borrowings under our credit agreements and our unsecured commercial paper program will continue to be adequate to meet
both operating requirements and the payment of dividends by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements. Likewise, the budgeted
expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from property operations, borrowings under credit
agreements, the issuance of debt or equity securities, and/or dispositions of properties.
We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” which provides for the issuance of
common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts and
units to facilitate future financing activities in the public capital markets. Access to capital markets is dependent on market conditions at the time of
issuance.
In July 2017, the Company entered into an ATM sales agreement under which the Company may offer and sell up to 20.0 million shares of its
common stock, from time to time, to or through its sales agents and may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through its forward
purchasers. Upon entering into the ATM sales agreement, the Company simultaneously terminated the sales agreement for its prior at-the-market equity
offering program, which was entered into in April 2017, which replaced the prior at-the-market equity offering program entered into in April 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 7.0 million shares of common stock through its ATM program for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $316.5 million at a weighted average price per share of $45.29. Aggregate net proceeds from such sales, after deducting
related expenses, including commissions paid to the sales agents of approximately $4.0 million, were approximately $312.3 million, which were
primarily used to fund the Company’s recent acquisitions. As of December 31, 2019, we had 11.7 million shares of common stock available for future
issuance under the ATM program.
In July 2019, the Company issued $300.0 million of 3.20% senior unsecured medium-term notes due January 15, 2030. Interest is payable
semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2020. The notes were priced at 99.66% of the principal
amount at issuance. The Company previously entered into forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge against the interest rate risk of this debt. The all-
in weighted average interest rate, inclusive of the impact of these interest rate swaps, was 3.42%. The Company used the net proceeds for the repayment
of debt, including amounts outstanding under the Company’s commercial paper program and Working Capital Credit Facility, and for other general
corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership is the guarantor of this debt.
In August 2019, the Company issued $400.0 million of 3.00% senior unsecured medium-term notes due August 15, 2031. Interest is payable
semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2020. The notes were priced at 99.71% of the principal
amount at issuance. In combination with the issuance, the Company entered into a treasury lock agreement to hedge against interest rate risk of this
debt. The all-in weighted average interest rate, inclusive of the impact of the treasury lock, was 3.01%. The Company used the net proceeds for the
repayment of debt, including the repayment of all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount (plus the make whole amount of approximately $5.4
million) of its 3.70% senior unsecured medium-term notes due October 1, 2020, and to fund potential acquisitions or for other general corporate
purposes. The Operating Partnership is the guarantor of this debt.

Table of Contents
In August 2019, the Company sold 7.5 million shares of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $349.9 million at a
price per share of $46.65. Aggregate net proceeds from the sale, after offering-related expenses, were approximately $349.8 million, which were used
for planned acquisitions of assets, working capital and general corporate purposes.
In September 2019, the Company entered into a forward sales agreement under its ATM program for 1.3 million shares of common stock at an
initial forward price per share of $47.68. The initial forward price per share received by the Company upon settlement was determined on the applicable
settlement date based on adjustments made to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to
holders of UDR common stock over the term of the forward sales agreement.
In December 2019, the Company settled all 1.3 million shares sold under the forward sales agreement at a forward price per share of $47.41,
which is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the then-current federal funds rate, the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock and
commissions paid to sales agents of approximately $0.6 million, for net proceeds of $63.5 million. Aggregate net proceeds from such sales, after
deducting related expenses, were $63.2 million. As of December 31, 2019, we had 11.7 million shares of common stock available for future issuance
under the ATM program.
In October 2019, the Company issued $100.0 million of 3.20% senior unsecured medium-term notes due 2030 and $300.0 million of 3.10%
senior unsecured medium-term notes due 2034. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 for the 2030 notes, and May 1
and November 1 for the 2034 notes. The 2030 notes were priced at 103.32% of the principal amount at issuance, and the 2034 notes were priced at
99.56% of the principal amount at issuance. In combination with the issuance, the Company entered into treasury lock agreements to hedge against
interest rate risk on all of this debt. The all-in weighted average interest rate, inclusive of the impact of the treasury locks, was 3.24% for the 2030 notes
and 3.13% for the 2034 notes. The Company used the net proceeds for the repayment of all $400.0 million aggregate principal amount (plus the make-
whole amount of approximately $22.0 million and accrued and unpaid interest) of its 4.63% senior unsecured medium-term notes due January 2022.
The 2034 notes were issued as “green” bonds and, as a result, the Company allocated the net proceeds from the sale of the 2034 notes to fund eligible
green projects, including previously incurred development costs related to properties that have received at least a LEED Silver certification. The
Operating Partnership is the guarantor of each of the 2030 notes and the 2034 notes.
The 2030 notes were a further issuance of, and form a single series with, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s
3.20% notes due 2030 that were issued on July 2, 2019. As of the completion of the offering, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2030 notes
was $400.0 million.
Future Capital Needs
Future development and redevelopment expenditures may be funded through unsecured or secured credit facilities, unsecured commercial
paper, proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt securities, sales of properties, joint ventures, and, to a lesser extent, from cash flows provided by
property operations. Acquisition activity in strategic markets may be funded through joint ventures, by the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of
properties, through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the issuance of operating partnership units and the assumption or placement of secured
and/or unsecured debt.
During 2020, we have approximately $110.6 million of secured debt maturing, inclusive of principal amortization, and $300.0 million of
unsecured debt maturing, comprised solely of unsecured commercial paper. During 2019, we prepaid $300.0 million of unsecured debt previously due
in October 2020 with proceeds from the senior unsecured medium-term notes issued in August 2019, prepaid $400.0 million of unsecured debt
previously due in January 2022 with proceeds from the senior unsecured medium-term notes issued in October 2019, and anticipate repaying the
remaining debt due in 2020 with cash flow from our operations, proceeds from debt or equity offerings, proceeds from dispositions of properties, or
from borrowings under our credit agreements and our unsecured commercial paper program.
Statements of Cash Flows
The following discussion explains the changes in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, Net cash provided by/(used in) investing
activities, and Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
41
Table of Contents
Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2019, our Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was $630.7 million compared to $560.7 million
for 2018. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to improved net operating income, primarily driven by revenue growth
at communities, net operating income from communities acquired in 2019, and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2019, Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was $(1.7) billion compared to $(113.5) million for
2018. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisitions made during the year, a decrease in proceeds from the sales
of real estate investments and an increase in the issuance of notes receivable and capital expenditures and other major improvements, partially offset by
a decrease in spend for development of real estate assets and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and an increase in distributions received from
unconsolidated joint ventures.
Acquisitions
In January 2019, the Company increased its ownership interest from 49% to 100% in a 386 apartment home operating community located in
Anaheim, California, for a cash purchase price of approximately $33.5 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately
$59.8 million of joint venture construction financing. As a result, the Company consolidated the operating community. The Company had previously
accounted for its 49% ownership interest as a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company accounted for the
consolidation as an asset acquisition resulting in no gain upon consolidation and increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $115.7 million
and recorded approximately $2.4 million of in-place lease intangibles.
In January 2019, the Company increased its ownership interest from 49% to 100% in a 155 apartment home operating community located in
Seattle, Washington, for a cash purchase price of approximately $20.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately
$26.0 million of joint venture construction financing. As a result, the Company consolidated the operating community. The Company had previously
accounted for its 49% ownership interest as a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company accounted for the
consolidation as an asset acquisition resulting in no gain upon consolidation and increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $58.1 million
and recorded approximately $2.4 million of real estate intangibles and approximately $0.6 million of in-place lease intangibles.
In January 2019, the Company acquired a to-be-developed parcel of land located in Washington, D.C. for approximately $27.1 million.

venture, thereby increasing its ownership interest from 30% to 100%, for a purchase price at 100% of approximately $184.0 million, before $2.8 million
of closing costs incurred by UDR at acquisition. The Company accounted for the consolidation as an asset acquisition, resulting in no gain upon
consolidation, and increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $156.0 million and recorded approximately $5.9 million of in-place lease
intangibles.
In November 2019, the Company acquired the approximately 50% ownership interest not previously owned in 10 UDR/MetLife operating
communities, one development community and four land parcels valued at $1.1 billion, or $564.2 million at UDR’s share, and sold its approximately
50% ownership interest in five UDR/MetLife operating communities valued at $645.8 million, or $322.9 million at UDR’s share, to MetLife. The
Company paid $109.2 million directly to MetLife to complete the transaction. As a result, the Company consolidated the 10 operating communities, one
development community and four land parcels, and they are no longer accounted for as equity method investments in an unconsolidated joint venture
(see Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships). The Company accounted for the consolidation as an asset acquisition resulting in no gain upon
consolidation and increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $977.8 million and recorded approximately $30.0 million of in-place lease
intangibles. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed six secured fixed rate mortgage notes payable and one credit facility secured by
four communities with a combined outstanding balance of $518.4 million and estimated fair value of $551.8 million. The Company recorded the debt at
its fair value in Secured debt, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any acquisitions of real estate.
Dispositions
In June 2019, the Company sold a parcel of land located in Los Angeles, California for $38.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.3
million. Prior to the sale, the parcel of land was subject to a ground lease, under which UDR was the lessor, scheduled to expire in 2065. The ground
lease included a purchase option for the lessee to acquire the land during specific periods of the ground lease term. During the second quarter, the lessee
exercised the purchase option resulting in the sale by the Company and the ground lease being terminated.
In February 2018, the Company sold an operating community in Orange County, California with a total of 264 apartment homes for gross
proceeds of $90.5 million, resulting in a gain of $70.3 million. The proceeds were designated for a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange that were used to
pay a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition in October 2017.
In December 2018, the Company sold an operating community in Fairfax, Virginia with a total of 604 apartment homes for gross proceeds of
$160.0 million, resulting in a gain of $65.9 million.
We plan to continue to pursue our strategy of exiting markets where long-term growth prospects are limited and redeploying capital to primary
locations in markets we believe will provide the best investment returns.
Capital Expenditures
We capitalize those expenditures that materially enhance the value of an existing asset or substantially extend the useful life of an existing
asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, total capital expenditures of $158.0 million or $3,710 per stabilized home, which in aggregate include
recurring capital expenditures and major renovations, were spent across our portfolio, excluding development, as compared to $112.6 million or $2,857
per stabilized home for the prior year.
The increase in total capital expenditures was primarily due to:
●
●
●
an increase of $27.4 million in spend for our operations platform, which includes smart home installations in certain of our properties;
an increase of 56.2%, or $12.8 million, in major renovations, which include major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to
existing buildings; and
an increase of 11.6%, or $4.1 million, in asset preservation expenditures, such as building interiors, building exteriors, and landscaping
and grounds.
The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs for all of our communities, excluding real estate under
development, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

(b) Major renovations include major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to existing buildings.
(c) Average number of homes is calculated based on the number of homes outstanding at the end of each month.
The above table includes amounts capitalized during the year. Actual capital spending is impacted by the net change in capital expenditure
accruals.
We intend to continue to selectively add NOI enhancing improvements, which we believe will provide a return on investment in excess of our
cost of capital. Our objective in redeveloping a community is twofold: we aim to meaningfully grow rental rates while also achieving cap rate
compression through asset quality improvement.
Consolidated Real Estate Under Development and Redevelopment
At December 31, 2019, our development pipeline consisted of three wholly-owned communities located in Denver, Colorado, Dublin,
California, and Addison, Texas, totaling 878 homes, none of which have been completed, with a budget of $278.5 million, in which we have a carrying
value of $69.8 million. The communities are estimated to be completed between the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022. During 2019,
we incurred $26.4 million for development costs, a decrease of $123.8 million as compared to costs incurred in 2018 of $150.2 million.
At December 31, 2019, the Company was redeveloping 653 apartment homes, 250 of which have been completed, at two wholly-owned
communities, located in Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York, both of which are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. The
redevelopments include the renovation of building exteriors, corridors, and common area amenities as well as individual apartment homes.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred $35.6 million in major renovations, which include major structural changes and/or
architectural revisions to existing buildings, an increase of $12.8 million as compared to $22.8 million incurred in 2018.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Partnerships
The Company recognizes income or losses from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships consisting of our
proportionate share of the net income or losses of the joint ventures and partnerships. In addition, we may earn fees for providing management services
to the communities held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships.
The Company’s Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, net, are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2019:
● we made investments totaling $93.1 million in our unconsolidated joint ventures, including contributions of $67.0 million to four
unconsolidated investments under our Developer Capital Program, which earn preferred returns ranging from 9.0% to 12.5%;
● our proportionate share of the net income/(loss) of the joint ventures and partnerships was $137.9 million, including a $114.9 million gain
from the disposition of five operating communities from our UDR/MetLife II joint venture, a $10.6 million gain from the sale of two
operating communities from our UDR/KFH joint venture, and a $4.6 million unrealized gain recorded on an unconsolidated technology
investment; and
● we received distributions of $77.6 million, of which $5.2 million were operating cash flows and $72.4 million were investing cash flows.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there
may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-
temporary. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments in the value of its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures or
partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Notes Receivable, net
Notes receivable relate to financing arrangements that are typically secured by real estate or real estate related
projects.
The following significant activities occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019:
●
in January 2019, a $5.6 million secured note was repaid in full along with the contractually accrued interest of $0.2 million and an
additional $8.5 million of promoted interest in conjunction with the unaffiliated third party being acquired; and
● in November 2019, the Company entered into a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $115.0
million, all of which was funded during the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest payments are due when the loan matures. The note is
secured by a first priority deed of trust on a 259 home operating community in Bellevue, Washington, which is expected to be completed
in 2020. When the note was funded, the Company also entered into a purchase option agreement and paid a deposit of $10.0 million,
which will provide the Company the option to acquire the community at a fixed price of $170.0 million.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Program
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the $90.0 million outstanding balance under its secured credit facility with
Fannie Mae from proceeds received from the refinancing of the debt. This transaction was accounted for as a debt modification.
In November 2019, the Company assumed a secured credit facility with New York Life with an outstanding balance of $205.0 million and a
fair value of $219.3 million in connection with the acquisition of the approximately 50% ownership not previously owned in four operating
communities from the UDR/MetLife joint venture. The credit facility is a pooled facility and secured by those four properties. The credit facility is due
in January 2023 and has an interest rate of 4.90% (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned).
The Company has a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a $350.0 million unsecured term loan. The Credit Agreement for these
facilities allows the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total borrowings under the Term Loan to be increased to an
aggregate maximum amount of up to $2.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The
Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 31, 2023, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. The
Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2023.
Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis
points and a facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 90 basis points. Depending on the
Company’s credit rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 75 to 145 basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis
points, and the margin under the Term Loan ranges from 80 to 165 basis points.
As of December 31, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.1 billion of unused capacity
(excluding $2.9 million of letters of credit at December 31, 2019), and $350.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan.
We have a working capital credit facility, which provides for a $75 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Working Capital Credit
Facility”) with a scheduled maturity date of January 15, 2021. Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Working Capital Credit Facility has an
interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis points. Depending on the Company’s credit rating, the margin ranges from 75 to 145 basis
points.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $16.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Credit Facility, leaving $58.4 million of
unused capacity.
The bank revolving credit facilities and the term loan are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in
compliance with at December 31, 2019.
We have an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a
maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $500 million. The notes are sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper market and
rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. As of
December 31, 2019, we had issued $300.0 million of commercial paper, for one month terms, at a weighted average annualized rate of 1.99%, leaving
$200.0 million of unused capacity.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes payable and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. We do not hold
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather issue these financial instruments to finance our portfolio of real estate assets.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Our
earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates impact our cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. We had $378.6 million in
variable rate debt that is not subject to interest rate swap contracts as of December 31, 2019. If market interest rates for variable rate debt increased by
100 basis points, our interest expense would increase by $3.5 million based on the average balance outstanding during the year.
These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost. This analysis does not consider
the effects of the adjusted level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such
magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions
that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.
The Company also utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and generally designates these financial instruments as
cash flow hedges. See Note 14, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, in the Notes to the UDR Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report
for additional discussion of derivate instruments.

The following discussion explains the changes in results of operations that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders was $180.9 million ($0.63 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2019, as
compared to $199.2 million ($0.74 per diluted share) for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease resulted primarily from the following
items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:
●
●
●
a gain of $5.3 million on the sale of a parcel of land in Los Angeles, California during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to
gains of $136.2 million on the sale of two operating communities with a total of 868 apartment homes in Huntington Beach, California
and Fairfax, Virginia, during the year ended December 31, 2018;
an increase in depreciation expense of $72.3 million primarily due to communities acquired in 2019 and homes delivered from our
development communities in 2018, partially offset by a decrease from sold communities and fully depreciated assets; and
an increase in interest expense of $36.7 million primarily due to the early pay off of debt during 2019, resulting in prepayment costs,
higher average debt balances, and lower capitalized interest.
This was partially offset by:
●
an increase in total property NOI of $76.2 million primarily due to higher revenue per occupied home and NOI from operating
communities, including those acquired in 2019 and recently developed communities, partially offset by a decrease from sold communities
in 2018;
48
Table of Contents
●
●
an increase in interest income and other income/(expense), net of $8.7 million, primarily attributable to an $8.5 million promoted interest
on the prepayment of a note to a multifamily technology company; and
an increase in income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities of $143.0 million, primarily attributable to a $114.9 million gain from the
disposition of five operating communities from our UDR/MetLife II joint venture, a $10.6 million gain recognized on the sale of two
operating properties from our UDR/KFH joint venture, a $4.6 million unrealized gain recorded on an unconsolidated technology
investment, and an increase in Developer Capital Program investment.
Apartment Community Operations
Our net income results are primarily from NOI generated from the operation of our apartment communities. The Company defines NOI, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental income less direct property rental expenses. Rental income represents gross market rent less adjustments for
concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI is property management expense which is calculated as 2.875% of property revenue to cover the
regional supervision and accounting costs related to consolidated property operations and land rent.
Management considers NOI a useful metric for investors as it is a more meaningful representation of a community’s continuing operating
performance than net income as it is prior to corporate-level expense allocations, general and administrative costs, capital structure and depreciation and
amortization.
Although the Company considers NOI a useful measure of operating performance, NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income
or net cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI excludes several income and expense categories as detailed in
the reconciliation of NOI to Net income/(loss) attributable to UDR, Inc. below.

Our Same-Store Community properties (those acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held on December 31, 2019)
consisted of 37,959 apartment homes and provided 85.4% of our total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2019.
NOI for our Same-Store Community properties increased 4.0%, or $26.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same
period in 2018. The increase in property NOI was attributable to a 3.6%, or $33.4 million, increase in property rental income, which was partially offset
by a 2.5%, or $6.7 million, increase in operating expenses. The increase in property income was primarily driven by a 2.8%, or $24.3 million, increase
in rental rates and a 10.8%, or $10.1 million, increase in reimbursement, ancillary and fee income. Physical occupancy stayed the same at 96.9% and
total monthly income per occupied home increased 3.5% to $2,180.
The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by a 15.4%, or $5.1 million, increase in repair and maintenance expense due to the
increased use of third party vendors, partially offset by a 8.3%, or $4.9 million, decrease in personnel expense as a result of fewer employees, and a
4.5%, or $4.8 million, increase in real estate taxes, which was primarily due to higher assessed valuations.
The operating margin (property net operating income divided by property rental income) was 71.8% and 71.5% for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Non-Mature Communities/Other
UDR’s Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities,
which include communities recently developed or acquired, redevelopment properties, sold or held for disposition properties, and non-apartment
components of mixed use properties.
The remaining 14.6%, or $117.9 million, of our total NOI during the year ended December 31, 2019 was generated from our Non-Mature
Communities/Other. NOI from Non-Mature Communities/Other increased by 72.4%, or $49.5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019 as
compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $67.0 million increase in NOI from stabilized, non-mature
communities, primarily due to communities acquired in 2019 and recently developed communities, partially offset by a $10.2 million decrease in NOI
from sold and held for disposition communities in 2018 and a $5.4 million decrease in non-residential/other NOI.

Table of Contents
Real estate depreciation and amortization
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized real estate depreciation and amortization of $501.3 million and
$429.0 million, respectively. The increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to communities acquired in 2019 and homes
delivered from our development communities in 2018, partially offset by a decrease from sold communities and fully depreciated assets.
Gain/(Loss) on Sale of Real Estate Owned
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a gain of $5.3 million on the sale of a parcel of land in Los Angeles,
California.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized gains of $136.2 million on the sale of two operating communities in
Huntington Beach, California, and Fairfax, Virginia.
Income/(Loss) from Unconsolidated Entities
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities of $137.9 million and $(5.1)
million, respectively. The increase of $143.0 million was primarily due to:
●
gains of $114.9 million from the disposition of five operating communities from our UDR/MetLife II joint venture, a $10.6 million gain
from the sale of two operating communities in our UDR/KFH joint venture, and a $4.6 million unrealized gain recorded on an
unconsolidated technology investment during the year ended December 31, 2019.
As compared to:
●
no acquisitions or dispositions from the Company’s unconsolidated entities during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Interest expense
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized interest expense of $170.9 million and $134.2 million,
respectively. The increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to higher average debt balances, lower capitalized interest, and the
early pay off of debt during 2019, resulting in prepayment costs of $27.4 million.
Interest income and other income/(expense), net
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized interest income and other income/(expense), net of $15.4 million
and $6.7 million, respectively. The increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to an $8.5 million promoted interest on the
prepayment of a note to a multifamily technology company.
Inflation
We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. While the impact of inflation primarily impacts our
results of operations as a result of wage pressures and increases in utilities and material costs, the majority of our apartment leases have initial terms of
12 months or less, which generally enables us to compensate for any inflationary effects by increasing rental rates on our apartment homes. Although an
extreme escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases, we do not believe this has had a
material impact on our results for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.

Interest payments on variable rate debt instruments are based on each debt instrument’s respective year-end interest rate at December 31, 2019.
(b) For purposes of our ground lease contracts, the Company uses the minimum lease payment, if stated in the agreement. For ground lease agreements
where there is a rent reset provision based on fair market value or changes in the consumer price index but does not include a specified minimum
lease payment, the Company uses the current rent over the remainder of the lease term.
During 2019, we incurred gross interest costs of $176.0 million, of which $5.1 million was capitalized.
Funds from Operations, Funds from Operations as Adjusted, and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is defined as Net income/(loss) attributable to common
stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate related to the main business of the
Company or of investments in non-consolidated investees that are directly attributable to decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the
investee, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate related to the main business of the Company and income taxes directly associated with
those gains and losses, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for noncontrolling interests, and the Company’s share of
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. This definition conforms with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“Nareit”)
definition issued in April 2002 and restated in November 2018. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market
conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost
accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. In the
computation of diluted FFO, if OP Units, DownREIT Units, unvested restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units, stock options, and the shares of Series E
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive, they are included in the diluted share count.
Management considers FFO a useful metric for investors as the Company uses FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating
performance, and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the
Company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not
necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.
Funds from Operations as Adjusted
FFO as Adjusted (“FFOA”) attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is defined as FFO excluding the impact of non-comparable
items including, but not limited to, acquisition related costs, prepayment costs/benefits associated with early debt retirement, impairment write downs or
gains and losses on sales of real estate or other assets incidental to the main business of the Company and income taxes directly associated with those
gains and losses, casualty-related expenses and recoveries, severance costs and legal and other costs.
Management believes that FFOA is useful supplemental information regarding our operating performance as it provides a consistent
comparison of our operating performance across time periods and allows investors to more easily
52
Table of Contents
compare our operating results with other REITs. FFOA is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide
an additional measure of our operating performance. We believe that Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure to FFOA. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFOA or similar FFO measures
and, accordingly, our FFOA may not always be comparable to FFOA or similar FFO measures calculated by other REITs. FFOA should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to cash
flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is defined as FFOA less recurring capital expenditures on
consolidated communities that are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain functionality at our communities. Therefore, management
considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO or
FFOA.
AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating
performance. We believe that Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to
AFFO. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to
assess our performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly,
our AFFO may not always be comparable to AFFO calculated by other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss)
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability
to make distributions.

United Dominion Realty, L.P.:
Business Overview
United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “UDR, L.P.”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in February 2004 and
organized pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Operating Partnership is the successor-in-interest
to United Dominion Realty, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of Virginia, which commenced operations on November 4, 1995. Our sole
general partner is UDR, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“UDR” or the “General Partner”), which conducts a substantial amount of its business and holds
a substantial amount of its assets through the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership’s real estate portfolio included 52
communities located in nine states and the District of Columbia with a total of 16,434 apartment homes.
As of December 31, 2019, UDR owned 0.1 million units of our general partnership interests and 176.1 million units of our limited partnership
interests (the “OP Units”), or approximately 95.7% of our outstanding OP Units. By virtue of its ownership of our OP Units and being our sole general
partner, UDR has the ability to control all of the day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context
requires otherwise, all references in this section of this Report to the Operating Partnership or “we,” “us” or “our” refer to UDR, L.P. together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, and all references in this section to “UDR” or the “General Partner” refer solely to UDR, Inc.
UDR is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, acquires, renovates, develops, and manages apartment
communities. The General Partner was formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation and changed its state of incorporation from Virginia to Maryland in
June 2003. At December 31, 2019, the General Partner’s consolidated real estate portfolio included 148 communities located in 13 states and the
District of Columbia with a total of 47,010 apartment homes. In addition, the General Partner had an ownership interest in 5,268 completed or to-be-
completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 2,138 apartment homes owned by entities in which we
hold preferred equity investments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires
management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. A critical accounting policy is one
that is both important to our financial condition and results of operations as well as involves some degree of uncertainty. Estimates are prepared based
on management’s assessment after considering all evidence available. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position or results of operations.
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to understanding our financial condition or results of operations where there is
uncertainty or where significant judgment is required. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting
policies described below, can be found
55
Table of Contents
in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.
Cost Capitalization
In conformity with GAAP, we capitalize those expenditures that materially enhance the value of an existing asset or substantially extend the
useful life of an existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.
In addition to construction costs, we capitalize costs directly related to the predevelopment, development, and redevelopment of a capital
project, which include, but are not limited to, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development and redevelopment overhead related to
support costs for personnel working on the capital projects. We use our professional judgment in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for
capitalization or must be expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its
intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. As each
home in a capital project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the Operating Partnership ceases capitalization on the related portion. The
costs capitalized are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total real estate owned, net of accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized
during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $1.0 million, less than $0.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
We may enter into various joint venture agreements and/or partnerships with unrelated third parties to hold or develop real estate assets. We
must determine for each of these ventures whether to consolidate the entity or account for our investment under the equity method of accounting. We
determine whether to consolidate a joint venture or partnership based on our rights and obligations under the venture agreement, applying the applicable
accounting guidance. The application of the rules in evaluating the accounting treatment for each joint venture or partnership is complex and requires
substantial management judgment. We evaluate our accounting for investments on a regular basis including when a significant change in the design of
an entity occurs. Throughout our financial statements, and in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, we use the term “joint venture” or “partnership” when referring to investments in entities in which we do not have a 100% ownership
interest.
We continually evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be
an other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary.
These factors include, but are not limited to, age of the venture, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the entity, the financial condition and
long-term prospects of the entity, and the relationships with the other joint venture partners and its lenders. The amount of loss recognized is the excess
of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. If we believe that the decline in fair value is temporary, no impairment is recorded.
The aforementioned factors are taken as a whole by management in determining the valuation of our investment property. Should the actual results
differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively affected and may result in a negative impact to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of
those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and
our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair market value. Our estimates of fair market value represent our
best estimate based primarily upon unobservable inputs related to rental rates, operating costs, growth rates, discount rates, capitalization rates, industry
trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
Real Estate Investment Properties
We purchase real estate investment properties from time to time and record the fair value to various components, such as land, buildings, and
intangibles related to in-place leases, based on the fair value of each component. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase
price, we utilize various sources, including independent appraisals, our own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in our
portfolio and other market data. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon
56
Table of Contents
acquisition and subsequently leased at market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all cash flows expected
to be generated from the property including an initial lease-up period. We determine the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent
and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. In addition, we consider the cost of acquiring similar leases,
the foregone rents associated with the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period. The fair value of in-place leases is
recorded and amortized as amortization expense over the remaining average contractual lease period.

(a) Monthly Income per Occupied Home represents total monthly revenues divided by the average physical number of occupied apartment homes in
our Same-Store portfolio.
We report in two segments: Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other.
Our Same-Store Communities segment represents those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held as
of December 31, 2019. These communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, there
is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment activities, and the communities are not held for disposition at year end. A community is considered to
have stabilized occupancy once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months.
Our Non-Mature Communities/Other segment represents those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store
Communities, including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed
use properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through operating cash flows, the sale of properties, and the
issuance of debt. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity.
The Operating Partnership’s primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations, as determined by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating
expenses related to our portfolio of apartment homes, and borrowings owed by us under the General Partner’s credit agreements. The General Partner
will routinely use its working capital credit facility and commercial paper program, and may use its unsecured revolving credit facility, to temporarily
fund certain investing and financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing or the issuance of equity or debt securities. During the past
several years, proceeds from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing activities as we continue to execute on maintaining a
diversified portfolio.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by property operations and borrowings owed by
us under the General Partner’s credit agreements. We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities and
potential property acquisitions through net cash provided by property operations, borrowings and the disposition of properties. We believe that our net
cash provided by property operations and borrowings will continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and the payment of
distributions. Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from property
operations, borrowings owed by us under the General Partner’s credit agreements, and the disposition of properties.
Future Capital Needs
Future capital expenditures are expected to be funded with proceeds from the issuance of secured debt or unsecured debt, sales of properties,
borrowings owed by us under our General Partner’s credit agreements, and to a lesser extent, from cash flows provided by operating activities.
As of December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership did not have any debt maturing in 2020.
Statements of Cash Flows
The following discussion explains the changes in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, Net cash provided by/(used in) investing
activities, and Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2019, Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was $255.1 million compared to $255.7 million for
2018. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and changes in operating assets and
liabilities, partially offset by an increase in net operating income, primarily driven by revenue growth at communities.
Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2019, Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was $(43.9) million compared to $71.7 million for
2018. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of an operating community and a
commercial office building in 2018 and an increase in capital expenditures and other major improvements during the year ended December 31, 2019,
compared to the same period in 2018.
Acquisitions
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Operating Partnership did not have any acquisitions of real estate.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership did not have any dispositions of real estate.
58
Table of Contents
In December 2018, the Operating Partnership sold a commercial office building in Fairfax, Virginia for gross proceeds of $9.3 million,
resulting in a gain of $5.2 million.
In February 2018, the Operating Partnership sold an operating community in Orange County, California with a total of 264 apartment homes
for gross proceeds of $90.5 million, resulting in a gain of $70.3 million. The proceeds were designated for a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange that
were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition in October 2017.
Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2019, Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities was $(210.9) million compared to $(326.5) million
for 2018. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the issuance of secured debt, a decrease in
payments on secured debt and a decrease in advances to the General Partner, partially offset by the repayment of notes payable to the General Partner.
Guarantor on Unsecured Debt
The Operating Partnership is the guarantor on the General Partner’s unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity
of $1.1 billion, an unsecured commercial paper program with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $500 million, a $350 million term loan due
September 2023, $300 million of medium-term notes due July 2024, $300 million of medium-term notes due October 2025, $300 million of medium-
term notes due September 2026, $300 million of medium-term notes due July 2027, $300 million of medium-term notes due January 2028, $300 million
of medium-term notes due January 2029, $400 million of medium-term notes due January 2030, $400 million of medium-term notes due August 2031,
and $300 million of medium-term notes due November 2034. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the General Partner did not have an outstanding
balance under the unsecured revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million and $101.1 million, respectively, outstanding under its unsecured
commercial paper program.
The credit facilities are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes payable and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. We do not hold
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather issue these financial instruments to finance our portfolio of real estate assets.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Our
earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates impact our cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. We had $27.0 million in
variable rate debt that is not subject to interest rate swap contracts as of December 31, 2019. If market interest rates for variable rate debt increased by
100 basis points, our interest expense would increase by $0.3 million based on the average balance at December 31, 2019.
These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost. These analyses do not consider
the effects of the adjusted level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such
magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions
that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.
The General Partner also utilizes derivative financial instruments owed by the Operating Partnership to manage interest rate risk and generally
designates these financial instruments as cash flow hedges. See Note 9, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, in the Notes to the Operating Partnership’s
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of derivative instruments.

Results of Operations
The following discussion explains the changes in results of operations that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to OP Unitholders
Net income/(loss) attributable to OP unitholders was $102.2 million ($0.56 per diluted OP Unit) for the year ended December 31, 2019 as
compared to net income of $229.8 million ($1.25 per diluted OP Unit) for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in net income
attributable to OP unitholders resulted primarily from the following items, which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:
●
●
●
no gains on the sale of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to gains of $75.5 million on the sale of an
operating community in Orange County, California with a total of 264 apartment homes and a commercial office building in Fairfax,
Virginia in 2018;
losses from unconsolidated entities of $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to income of $43.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to the sale of an operating community held in the DownREIT Partnership in 2018; and
an increase in interest expense on notes payable to the General Partner of $13.9 million primarily due to the conversion in 2018 of the
Advances (to)/from the General Partner capital balance into an unsecured revolving note payable with the General Partner.
This was partially offset by:
●
an increase in total property NOI of $5.6 million primarily due to higher revenue per occupied home and NOI from operating
communities, partially offset by a decrease from communities sold in 2018.
Apartment Community Operations
Our net income results primarily from NOI generated from the operation of our apartment communities. The Operating Partnership defines
NOI, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental income less direct property rental expenses. Rental income represents gross market rent less
adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI are property management costs, which are the Operating Partnership’s allocable share
of costs incurred by the General Partner for shared services of corporate level property management employees and related support functions and costs.
Management considers NOI a useful metric for investors as it is a more meaningful representation of a community’s continuing operating
performance than net income as it is prior to corporate-level expense allocations, general and administrative costs, capital structure and depreciation and
amortization.
Although we consider NOI a useful measure of operating performance, NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash
flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI excludes several income and expense categories as detailed in the
reconciliation of NOI to Net income/(loss) attributable to OP unitholders below.

Our Same-Store Community properties (those acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held as of December 31, 2019)
consisted of 15,723 apartment homes and provided 92.9% of our total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2019.
NOI for our Same-Store Community properties increased 3.6%, or $10.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018.
The increase in property NOI was primarily attributable to a 3.5%, or $13.8 million, increase in property rental income, which was partially offset by a
3.4%, or $3.5 million, increase in operating expenses. The increase in property income was primarily driven by a 2.8%, or $10.2 million, increase in
rental rates and a 10.9%, or $4.5 million, increase in reimbursement, ancillary and fee income. Physical occupancy increased 0.1% to 96.8% and total
monthly income per occupied home increased 3.5% to $2,215.
The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by an 18.2%, or $2.5 million, increase in repair and maintenance expense due to the
increased use of third party vendors, partially offset by an 8.1%, or $1.9 million,
61
Table of Contents
decrease in personnel expense as a result of fewer employees, and a 6.5%, or $2.4 million, increase in real estate taxes, which was primarily due to
higher assessed valuations.
The operating margin (property net operating income divided by property rental income) was 74.2% for both of the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Non-Mature Communities/Other
The Operating Partnership’s Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-
Store Communities, which include communities recently developed or acquired, redevelopment properties, sold or held for disposition properties and
the non-apartment components of mixed use properties.
The remaining 7.1%, or $22.8 million, of our total NOI during the year ended December 31, 2019 was generated from our Non-Mature
Communities/Other. NOI from Non-Mature Communities/Other decreased 17.1%, or $4.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared
to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in NOI of $2.2 million from non-residential/other communities, a decrease
of $2.1 million from redevelopment communities, and a decrease of $0.9 million from sold and held for disposition communities, which was partially
offset by an increase in NOI of $0.5 million from stabilized, non-mature communities.
Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization
For the year ended December 31, 2019, real estate depreciation and amortization decreased by 2.5%, or $3.5 million, as compared to the same
period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of an operating community and a commercial office building in 2018 and fully depreciated
assets.
Real Estate Taxes and Insurance
For the year ended December 31, 2019, real estate taxes and insurance increased by 8.3%, or $3.9 million, as compare to 2018, which was
primarily due to higher assessed valuations in 2019.
Income/(Loss) in Unconsolidated Entities
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities of $(8.3) million and $43.5
million, respectively. The decrease from unconsolidated entities as compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to the sale of an operating
community in 2018 held in the DownREIT Partnership.
Gain/(Loss) on Sale of Real Estate Owned
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership did not recognize any gains on the sale of real estate. During the year
ended December 31, 2018, the Operating Partnership recognized total gains of $75.5 million on the sale of an operating community in Orange County,
California with a total of 264 apartment homes and a commercial office building in Fairfax, Virginia.
Interest Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense increased by 29.9%, or $6.8 million, as compared to 2018, which was primarily due to
the conversion in 2018 of the Advances (to)/from the General Partner capital balance into an unsecured revolving note payable with the General
Partner.
Inflation
We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. While the impact of inflation primarily impacts our
results of operations as a result of wage pressures and increases in utilities and material costs, the majority of our apartment leases have initial terms of
12 months or less, which generally enables us to compensate for any inflationary effects by increasing rental rates on our apartment homes. Although an
extreme escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases, we do not believe this has had a
material impact on our results for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined

Operating Partnership, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal

management concluded that the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of UDR, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UDR, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as
the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 18, 2020 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a
separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Description of the
Matter
Accounting for acquisitions of real estate investment properties
During 2019, the Company acquired multiple real estate investment properties, including certain real estate investment
properties for which the Company held a previous unconsolidated equity interest. These transactions were accounted for as
asset acquisitions. The aggregate increase in real estate due to these acquisitions was approximately $2.2 billion. As more
fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the total consideration was allocated to land, land
improvements, buildings and improvements, and real estate intangible assets based on their relative fair value.
F - 2
Table of Contents
Auditing the Company’s acquisition of real estate investment properties is complex and requires a higher degree of auditor
judgment due to the significant assumptions that are utilized in the determination of the relative fair values of the assets
acquired. The significant assumptions used in management’s analysis to estimate the fair value of these components includes
capitalization rates, market comparable prices for similar land parcels, market rental rates, leasing commission rates as well
as the time it would take to lease any acquired buildings if it were vacant at acquisition.
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
We tested the Company’s internal controls over the acquisition of real estate investment properties and the resulting purchase
price allocations. This included testing controls over management’s identification of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and evaluating the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company to develop such estimates.
Our testing of the fair values of the assets acquired included, among others, evaluating the selection of the Company's
valuation model and testing the significant assumptions discussed above as well as the completeness and accuracy of the
underlying data. For example, we compared management’s assumptions to observable market transactions and replacement
costs associated with the fair value of the land and buildings and improvements. For in-place leases, we compared
management’s assumptions to published market data for comparable leases, related leasing commissions and the amount of
time it would take to lease up the space to stabilization assuming the space was vacant at acquisition. We involved our real
estate valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the significant assumptions listed above. In addition, we performed
sensitivity tests on the significant assumptions to evaluate the change in the fair value resulting from changes in the
assumptions.

We have served as the Company's auditor since at least 1984, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of UDR, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited UDR, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In
our opinion, UDR, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,
based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss),
changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 18, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
1. CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Formation
UDR, Inc. (“UDR,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires,
renovates, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment communities generally in high barrier-to-entry markets located in the United States. The high
barrier-to-entry markets are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and lengthy entitlement process, expensive single-family home
prices and significant employment growth potential. At December 31, 2019, our consolidated apartment portfolio consisted of 148 consolidated
communities located in 20 markets consisting of 47,010 apartment homes. In addition, the Company has an ownership interest in 5,268 completed or to-
be-completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 2,138 apartment homes owned by entities in which we
hold preferred equity investments.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UDR include its wholly-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries (see the “Consolidated
Joint Ventures” section of Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships, for further discussion). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDR and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion
Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) and UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P. (the “DownREIT Partnership”). As of December 31, 2019
and 2018, there were 184.1 million and 183.6 million units, respectively, in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) outstanding, of which 176.2 million,
or 95.7% and 174.2 million, or 94.9%, respectively, were owned by UDR and 7.9 million, or 4.3% and 9.4 million, or 5.1%, respectively, were owned
by outside limited partners. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 32.4 million units in the DownREIT Partnership (“DownREIT Units”)
outstanding, of which 18.4 million, or 56.8% and 17.2 million, or 53.2%, respectively, were owned by UDR (including 13.5 million DownREIT Units,
or 41.7% and 13.5 million, or 41.6%, that were held by the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively) and 14.0 million, or
43.2% and 15.2 million, or 46.8%, respectively, were owned by outside limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of UDR include the
noncontrolling interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership.
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized
subsequent events were noted other than those in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, Note 3, Real Estate Owned and Note 5, Joint Ventures and
Partnerships.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial
Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard requires entities to estimate a lifetime
expected credit loss for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other financial
instruments, and to present the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which amends the transition requirements and scope of ASU 2016-13
and clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in
accordance with the leases standard. The updated standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and is to be adopted on a modified
retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on that date. While we are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13
will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we expect that the adoption will result in recording an allowance for credit
losses for our notes receivable. However, we do not expect the updated standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard amended the existing lease accounting guidance and required lessees
to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases continued to recognize lease
expense in a manner similar to previous accounting. For lessors, accounting for leases under the new guidance was substantially the same as in prior
periods, but eliminated current real estate-specific provisions and changed the treatment of initial direct costs. The standard was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2019.
The Company elected the following package of practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any
expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and
(iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the
standard and therefore only recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year.
Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $94.3 million and lease liabilities of $88.3
million. The right-of-use assets included $6.0 million of prepaid rent and intangible assets that was included within Other assets on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018.
The lease liabilities represent the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments as of January 1, 2019 and primarily relate to ground
leases for communities where we are the lessee. The right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, which are
calculated utilizing the lease liabilities plus any prepaid lease payments and intangible assets for ground leases acquired in the purchase of real estate.
Our right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 may change as a result of updates to the projected future minimum
lease payments. Certain of our ground lease agreements where we are the lessee have future minimum lease payments that reset in the future based upon
a percentage of the fair market value of the land at the time of the reset. The Company will continue to recognize lease expense for these leases in a
manner similar to previous accounting based on our election of the package of practical expedients. However, in the event we modify existing ground
leases and/or enter into new ground leases subsequent to the adoption of the standard, such leases would likely be classified as finance leases under the
standard and require expense recognition based on the effective interest method. Under the standard, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors will
include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result,
subsequent to the adoption of the standard, we are expensing non-incremental leasing costs as incurred.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases – Targeted Improvements, which provided entities with relief from the costs of
implementing certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, Leases. The ASU provided a practical expedient which allowed lessors to not separate lease and non-
lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both: (i) the timing and pattern of revenue
recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified
as an operating lease. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component in lease
contracts where we are the lessor. The ASU also provided a transition option that permitted entities to not recast the comparative periods presented
when transitioning to the standard, which the Company also elected.
Real Estate
Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost and consist of land, land improvements, buildings and improvements,
furniture, fixtures and equipment and other costs incurred during their development, acquisition and redevelopment.
Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and
replacements related to the acquisition and/or improvement of real estate assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the
expenditures qualify as a betterment or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.
UDR purchases real estate investment properties and records the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on
their estimated fair value. The primary, although not only, identifiable intangible asset
F - 12
Table of Contents
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
associated with our portfolio is the value of existing lease agreements. When recording the acquisition of a community, we first assign fair value to the
estimated intangible value of the existing lease agreements and then to the estimated value of the land, building and fixtures assuming the community is
vacant. The Company estimates the intangible value of the lease agreements by determining the lost revenue associated with a hypothetical lease-up.
Depreciation on the building is based on the expected useful life of the asset and the in-place leases are amortized over their remaining average
contractual life. Property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred if the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business.
Quarterly or when changes in circumstances warrant, UDR will assess our real estate properties for indicators of impairment. In determining
whether the Company has indicators of impairment in our real estate assets, we assess whether the long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds the
community’s undiscounted future cash flows, which is representative of projected net operating income (“NOI”) plus the residual value of the
community. Our future cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating
conditions and our estimated holding periods. If such indicators of impairment are present and the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows
of the community, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. Our estimates
of fair market value represent our best estimate based primarily upon unobservable inputs related to rental rates, operating costs, growth rates, discount
rates, capitalization rates, industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell is less than
the carrying value of the asset. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are actively marketed or
contracted for sale with the closing expected to occur within the next twelve months. Real estate held for disposition is carried at the lower of cost, net
of accumulated depreciation, or fair value, less the cost to sell, determined on an asset-by-asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance
costs on held for disposition properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to
held for disposition properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held for disposition.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which are 30 to 55 years for buildings, 10
to 35 years for major improvements, and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other assets.
Predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects and related costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets
as Total real estate owned, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes costs directly related to the predevelopment, development, and
redevelopment of a capital project, which include, but are not limited to, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development and
redevelopment overhead related to support costs for personnel working on the capital projects. We use our professional judgment in determining
whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which
activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the
asset ready for its intended use. These costs, excluding the direct costs of development and redevelopment and capitalized interest, for the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $8.4 million, $7.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,
and 2017, total interest capitalized was $5.1 million, $10.6 million and $18.6 million, respectively. As each home in a capital project is completed and
becomes available for lease-up, the Company ceases capitalization on the related portion and depreciation commences over the estimated useful life.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments. We
consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s
cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks.

Restricted Cash
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, and security
deposits.
Real Estate Sales Gain Recognition
For sale transactions resulting in a transfer of a controlling financial interest of a property, the Company generally derecognizes the related
assets and liabilities from its Consolidated Balance Sheets and records the gain or loss in the period in which the transfer of control occurs. If control of
the property has not transferred to the counterparty, the criteria for derecognition are not met and the Company will continue to recognize the related
assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Sale transactions to entities in which the Company sells a controlling financial interest in a property but retains a noncontrolling interest are
accounted for as partial sales. Partial sales resulting in a change in control are accounted for at fair value and a full gain or loss is recognized. Therefore,
the Company will record a gain or loss on the partial interest sold, and the initial measurement of our retained interest will be accounted for at fair
value.
Sales of real estate to joint ventures or other noncontrolled investees are also accounted for at fair value and the Company will record a full
gain or loss in the period the property is contributed.
To the extent that the Company acquires a controlling financial interest in a property that it previously accounted for as an equity method
investment, the Company will not remeasure its previously held interest if the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition. The Company will include
the carrying amount of its previously held equity method interest along with the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred in determining the
amounts to allocate to the related assets and liabilities acquired on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treated as an asset acquisition, the Company
will not recognize a gain on consolidation of a property.

Notes Receivable
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Notes receivable relate to financing arrangements which are typically secured by real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of the loans
we extend may include characteristics such as options to purchase the project within a specific time window following expected project completion.
These characteristics can cause the loans to fall under the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and thus trigger consolidation consideration.
We consider the facts and circumstances pertinent to each loan, including the relative amount of financing we are contributing to the overall project
cost, decision making rights or control we hold, and our rights to expected residual gains or our obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the
project. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to holding a controlling financial interest, the majority of decision making control,
or by other means, consolidation of the VIE would be required. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing
entities which were deemed to be VIEs.
Additionally, we analyze each loan arrangement for consideration of whether the loan qualifies for accounting as a loan or as an investment in
a real estate development project. The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real
estate development projects, as required by ASC 310-10. For each loan, the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and
circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.

(a) The Company has a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $16.4 million, of which $16.4 million has been
funded, including $1.7 million funded during the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest payments are due monthly. The note matures at the
earliest of the following: (a) the closing of any private or public capital raising in the amount of $5.0 million or greater; (b) an acquisition;
(c) acceleration in the event of default; or (d) the eighth anniversary of the date of the note (February 2020).
In January 2020, the terms of this secured note were amended to increase the aggregate commitment from $16.4 million to $19.4 million and to
extend the maturity date of the note from the eighth anniversary of the note (February 2020) to January 2023.
(b) The Company has a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $20.0 million, of which $20.0 million has been
funded. The note is secured by a parcel of land and related land improvements. Interest payments are due when the loan matures. In December
2019, the term of the secured note was extended to March 30, 2020, and any interest incurred during the extension period will be due monthly.
(c) The Company has a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $2.3 million, of which $2.3 million has been
funded, including $0.3 million funded during the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest payments are due when the loan matures. The note
matures at the earliest of the following: (a) the closing of any private or public capital raising in the amount of $10.0 million or greater; (b) an
acquisition; (c) acceleration in the event of default; or (d) the fifth anniversary of the date of the note (October 2020).
(d) The Company previously had a secured note with an unaffiliated third party under which $5.6 million had been funded. In January 2019, the $5.6
million secured note was repaid in full along with the contractually accrued

interest of $0.2 million and an additional $8.5 million of promoted interest in conjunction with the unaffiliated third party being acquired.
(e)
In November 2019, the Company entered into a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $115.0 million, all
of which was funded during the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest payments are due when the loan matures. The note is secured by a first
priority deed of trust on a 259 home operating community in Bellevue, Washington, which is expected to be completed in 2020. When the note was
funded, the Company also entered into a purchase option agreement and paid a deposit of $10.0 million, which will give the Company the option to
acquire the community at a fixed price of $170.0 million. The purchase option must be exercised within 30 days following the date the temporary
certificate of occupancy is issued. The deposit is generally nonrefundable other than due to a failure of closing conditions pursuant to the terms of
the agreement. If the Company does not exercise the purchase option, or if the Company exercises and fails to close the purchase other than due to
seller’s failure or other breaches in the purchase option agreement, per the terms of the agreement, the note will be modified to extend the maturity
date to 10 years following the date the temporary certificate of occupancy is issued. Upon modification, the loan will be interest only for the first
three years and after such date will be based on a 30 year amortization schedule.
The Company recognized $5.5 million, $4.1 million, and $1.8 million of interest income and $8.5 million, zero, and zero of promoted interest
from notes receivable during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, none of which was related party interest. Interest
income and promoted interest are included in Interest income and other income/(expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investment in Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We use the equity method to account for investments in joint ventures and partnerships that qualify as VIEs where we are not the primary
beneficiary and other entities that we do not control or where we do not own a majority of the economic interest but have the ability to exercise
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Throughout these financial statements we use the term “joint venture” or
“partnership” when referring to investments in entities in which we do not have a 100% ownership interest. The Company also uses the equity method
when we function as the managing partner and our venture partner has substantive participating rights or where we can be replaced by our venture
partner as managing partner without cause. For a joint venture or partnership accounted for under the equity method, our share of net earnings or losses
is reflected as income/loss when earned/incurred and distributions are credited against our investment in the joint venture or partnership as received.
In determining whether a joint venture or partnership is a VIE, the Company considers: the form of our ownership interest and legal structure;
the size of our investment; the financing structure of the entity, including necessity of subordinated debt; estimates of future cash flows; ours and our
partner’s ability to participate in the decision making related to acquisitions, disposition, budgeting and financing of the entity; obligation to absorb
losses and preferential returns; nature of our partner’s primary operations; and the degree, if any, of disproportionality between the economic and voting
interests of the entity. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not determine any of our joint ventures or partnerships to be VIEs.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for events or changes in circumstances that indicate there may be an other-than-
temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors
include, but are not limited to, age of the venture, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the entity, the financial condition and long-term
prospects of the entity, the fair value of the property of the joint venture, and the relationships with the other joint venture partners and its lenders. The
amount of loss recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. If we believe that the decline in fair value is
temporary, no impairment is recorded. The aforementioned factors are taken into consideration as a whole by management in determining the valuation
of our equity method investments. Should the actual results differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively affected and may
result in a negative impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and generally designates these financial instruments as cash
flow hedges. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability and measured quarterly at
their fair value. The changes in fair value for cash flow hedges that are deemed effective are reflected in other comprehensive income/(loss) and for
non-designated derivative financial instruments in earnings. The ineffective component of cash flow hedges, if any, is recorded in earnings.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership
Interests in the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership held by limited partners are represented by OP Units and DownREIT
Units, respectively. The income is allocated to holders of OP Units/DownREIT Units based upon net income available to common stockholders and the
weighted average number of OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding during the
period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the
partnership agreements of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership.
Limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership have the right to require such partnership to redeem all or a
portion of the OP Units/DownREIT Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in
the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable), provided that such OP Units/DownREIT Units
have been outstanding for at least one year, subject to certain exceptions. UDR, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT
Partnership may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units/DownREIT Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT
Share Amount (generally one share of Common Stock of the Company for each OP Unit/DownREIT Unit), as defined in the partnership agreement of
the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable. Accordingly, the Company records the OP Units/DownREIT Units outside of
permanent equity and reports the OP Units/DownREIT Units at their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date.
Income Taxes
Due to the structure of the Company as a REIT and the nature of the operations for the operating properties, no provision for federal income
taxes has been provided for at UDR. Historically, the Company has generally incurred only state and local excise and franchise taxes. UDR has elected
for certain consolidated subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).
Income taxes for our TRS are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in
the period of the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets are generally the result of differing depreciable lives on capitalized assets,
unrealized gains on other investment ventures and timing of expense recognition for certain accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
UDR’s net deferred tax assets/(liabilities) was $(1.6) million and less than $(0.1) million, respectively. The net deferred tax assets/(liabilities) are
recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
GAAP defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for
interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes its tax positions and evaluates them using a two-step process. First, UDR
determines whether a tax position is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent probability) to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of
any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, the Company will determine the amount of benefit to
recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
The Company invests in assets that qualify for federal investment tax credits (“ITC”) through our TRS. An ITC reduces federal income taxes
payable when qualifying depreciable property is acquired. The ITC is determined as a percentage of cost of the assets. The Company accounts for ITCs
under the deferral method, under which the tax benefit from the ITC is deferred and amortized as a tax benefit into Tax (provision)/benefit, net on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations over the book life of the qualifying depreciable property. The ITCs are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
UDR had no material unrecognized tax benefit, accrued interest or penalties at December 31, 2019. UDR and its subsidiaries are subject to
federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The tax years 2016 through 2018 remain open to examination by tax
jurisdictions to which we are subject. When applicable, UDR recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Tax
(provision)/benefit, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in
accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a VIE. Under the VIE model, the Company
consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could
potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a
majority voting interest.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with GAAP, a discontinued operation represents (1) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of
or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s financial results,
or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. A strategic shift could include a disposal of (1) a separate major
line of business, (2) a separate major geographic area of operations, (3) a major equity method investment, or (4) other major parts of an entity.
We record sales of real estate that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation in Gain/(loss) on sale of real estate owned on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the award’s fair
value on the grant date and recognizes the cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award,
which is generally the vesting period. The fair value for stock options issued by the Company is calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton formula.
For performance based awards, the Company remeasures the fair value each balance sheet date with adjustments made on a cumulative basis until the
award is settled and the final compensation is known. The fair value for market based awards issued by the Company is calculated utilizing a Monte
Carlo simulation. For further discussion, see Note 10, Employee Benefit Plans.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the line item Property
operating and maintenance. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, total advertising expense was $6.5 million, $6.7 million, and
$6.2 million, respectively.
Cost of Raising Capital
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity securities are deducted from stockholders’ equity. Costs incurred in connection with
the issuance or renewal of debt are recorded based on the terms of the debt issuance or renewal. Accordingly, if the terms of the renewed or modified
debt instrument are deemed to be substantially different (i.e. a 10 percent or greater difference in the cash flows between instruments), all unamortized
financing costs associated
F - 18
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
with the extinguished debt are charged to earnings in the current period and certain costs of new debt issuances are capitalized and amortized over the
term of the debt. When the cash flows are not substantially different, the lender costs associated with the renewal or modification are capitalized and
amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instrument and other related costs are expensed. The balance of any
unamortized financing costs associated with retired debt is expensed upon retirement. Deferred financing costs for new debt instruments include fees
and costs incurred by the Company to obtain financing. Deferred financing costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates
the effective interest method, over a period not to exceed the term of the related debt.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss), which is defined as the change in equity during each period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources, including all changes in equity during a period except for those resulting from investments by or distributions to
stockholders, is displayed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). For the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, and 2017, the Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) consisted of the gain/(loss) (effective portion) on derivative instruments that are
designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges, (gain)/loss on derivative instruments reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings,
and the allocation of other comprehensive income/(loss) to noncontrolling interests. The (gain)/loss on derivative instruments reclassified from other
comprehensive income/(loss) is included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 14, Derivatives and Hedging
Activity, for further discussion. The allocation of other comprehensive income/(loss) to redeemable noncontrolling interests during the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 was $(0.8) million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
Forward Sales Agreements
The Company utilizes forward sales agreements for the future issuance of its common stock. When the Company enters into a forward sales
agreement, the contract requires the Company to sell its shares to a counterparty at a predetermined price at a future date. The net sales price and
proceeds attained by the Company will be determined on the dates of settlement, with adjustments during the term of the contract for the Company’s
anticipated dividends as well as for a daily interest factor that varies with changes in the federal funds rate. The Company generally has the ability to
determine the dates and method of settlement (i.e., gross physical settlement, net share settlement or cash settlement), subject to certain conditions and
the right of the counterparty to accelerate settlement under certain circumstances.
The Company accounts for the shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon settlement as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40,
Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, which permits equity classification when a contract is considered indexed to its own stock and the contract requires or
permits the issuing entity to settle the contract in shares (either physically or net in shares).
The guidance establishes a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument is considered indexed to its own
stock, first, evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and second, evaluating the instrument’s settlement provisions. When entering
into forward sales agreements, we determine that (i) none of the agreement’s exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides
those related to the market for our own stock price; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions preclude the agreements from being indexed to our own
stock.
Before the issuance of shares of common stock, upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sales agreements, the Company expects
that the shares issuable upon settlement of the forward sales agreements will be reflected in its diluted income/(loss) per share calculations using the
treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock used in calculating diluted income/(loss) per share is deemed to be
increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the forward sales
agreements over the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased by the Company in the open market (based on the average market price
during the period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting
period). When the Company physically or net share settles any forward sales agreement, the delivery of shares of common stock would result in an
increase in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding and dilution to basic income/(loss) per share. (See Note 8, Income/(Loss) per
Share for further discussion.)

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.
Market Concentration Risk
The Company is subject to increased exposure from economic and other competitive factors specific to markets where the Company holds a

Seattle, Washington, for a cash purchase price of approximately $20.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately
$26.0 million of joint venture construction financing. As a result, the Company consolidated the operating community. The Company had previously
accounted for its 49% ownership interest as a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 5, Joint Ventures and
Partnerships). The Company accounted for the consolidation as an asset acquisition resulting in no gain upon consolidation and increased its real estate
assets owned by approximately $58.1 million and recorded approximately $2.4 million of real estate intangibles and approximately $0.6 million of in-
place lease intangibles.

(a) The number of apartment homes for the community under development presented in the table above is based on the projected number of total
homes upon completion of development. As of December 31, 2019, no apartment homes had been completed.
In January 2020, the Company acquired a 294 home operating community located in Tampa, Florida for approximately $85.2 million.
In January 2020, the Company increased its ownership interest from 49% to 100% in a 276 apartment home operating community located in
Hillsboro, Oregon, for a cash purchase price of approximately $21.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately

had previously accounted for its 49% ownership interest as a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 5, Joint Ventures
and Partnerships).
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any acquisitions of real estate.
Dispositions
In June 2019, the Company sold a parcel of land located in Los Angeles, California for $38.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.3
million. Prior to the sale, the parcel of land was subject to a ground lease, under which UDR was the lessor, scheduled to expire in 2065. The ground
lease included a purchase option for the lessee to acquire the land during specific periods of the ground lease term. During the second quarter, the lessee
exercised the purchase option resulting in this sale by the Company and the ground lease being terminated.
Prior to the sale, the purchase option was not deemed to be a bargain purchase option. This ground lease existed as of the adoption of the new
lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 and we did not reassess lease classification per the practical expedient provided by the standard. As a
result, this ground lease continued to be classified as an operating lease and the land parcel subject to the ground lease continued to be recognized in
Real estate held for investment on our Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale in June 2019.
In February 2018, the Company sold an operating community in Orange County, California with a total of 264 apartment homes for gross
proceeds of $90.5 million, resulting in a gain of $70.3 million. The proceeds were designated

for a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange that were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition in October 2017.
In December 2018, the Company sold an operating community in Fairfax, Virginia with a total of 604 apartment homes for gross proceeds of
$160.0 million, resulting in a gain of $65.9 million.
In February 2017, the Company sold a parcel of land in Richmond, Virginia for gross proceeds of $3.5 million, resulting in a gain of $2.1
million.
In December 2017, the Company sold two operating communities with a total of 218 apartment homes in Orange County, California and
Carlsbad, California for gross proceeds of $69.0 million, resulting in a gain of $41.3 million.
Developments
At December 31, 2019, the Company was developing three wholly-owned communities totaling 878 homes, none of which have been
completed, with a budget of $278.5 million, in which we have a carrying value of $69.8 million. The communities are estimated to be completed
between the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022.
Other Activity
In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company agreed to pay certain of the tax liabilities of certain contributors if the
Company sells one or more of the properties contributed in a taxable transaction prior to the expiration of specified periods of time following the
acquisition. The Company may, however, sell, without being required to pay any tax liabilities, any of such properties in a non-taxable transaction,
including, but not limited to, a tax deferred Section 1031 exchange.
Further, the Company has agreed to maintain certain debt that may be guaranteed by certain contributors for specified periods of time
following the acquisition. The Company, however, has the ability to refinance or repay guaranteed debt or to substitute new debt if the debt and the
guaranty continue to satisfy certain conditions.

4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company has determined that the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership are VIEs as the limited partners lack substantive
kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the
Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership based on its role as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership.
The Company’s role as community manager and its equity interests give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic
performance and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or the right to receive potentially significant benefits of the Operating Partnership
and DownREIT Partnership.
See the consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership presented within this Report and Note 4, Unconsolidated Entities, to the
Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements for condensed summarized financial information of the DownREIT Partnership.
5. JOINT VENTURES AND PARTNERSHIPS
UDR has entered into joint ventures and partnerships with unrelated third parties to own, operate, acquire, renovate, develop, redevelop,
dispose of, and manage real estate assets that are either consolidated and included in Real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, net, on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company consolidates the entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary
beneficiary. Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb
losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when
it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest.
UDR’s joint ventures and partnerships are funded with a combination of debt and equity. Our losses are typically limited to our investment and
except as noted below, the Company does not guarantee any debt, capital payout or other obligations associated with our joint ventures and
partnerships.
The Company recognizes earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships consisting of our
proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the joint ventures and partnerships. In addition, we may earn fees for providing management services
to the unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships.

In November 2019, the Company acquired the approximately 50% ownership interest not previously owned in 10 UDR/MetLife operating
communities, one development community and four land parcels valued at $1.1 billion, or $564.2 million at UDR’s share, and sold its
approximately 50% ownership interest in five UDR/MetLife operating communities valued at $645.8 million, or $322.9 million at UDR’s share, to
MetLife, and recognized a net gain on sale of $114.9 million at our share, which is included in Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result, the Company consolidated the 10 operating communities, one development community and
four land parcels, and they are no longer accounted for as equity method investments in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 3, Real Estate
Owned). Upon closing of the transaction, the UDR/MetLife II joint venture holds seven operating communities and the UDR/MetLife Vitruvian
Park® joint venture no longer holds any properties.
(b) As of January 1, 2019, the joint venture held three operating communities.
During 2019, the joint venture sold two communities with 368 homes, located in Arlington, Virginia, and Silver Spring, Maryland, for a combined
sales price of approximately $118.3 million. As a result, the Company recorded total gains on the sales of approximately $10.6 million, which are
included in Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In August 2019, the joint venture sold the third community, a 292 home operating community located in Washington, D.C., directly to the
Company for a sales price at 100% of approximately $184.0 million, before $2.8 million of closing costs incurred by UDR at acquisition. The
Company deferred its share of the gain on sale of approximately $23.8 million and recorded it as a reduction of the carrying amount of real estate
assets owned (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned).
(c) The Developer Capital Program is the program through which the Company makes investments, including preferred equity investments, mezzanine
loans or other structured investments that may receive a fixed yield on the investment and may include provisions pursuant to which the Company
participates in the increase in value of the property upon monetization of the applicable property and/or holds fixed price purchase options.

may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-
temporary. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments in the value of its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures or
partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
Condensed summary financial information relating to the unconsolidated joint ventures’ and partnerships’ operations (not just our
proportionate share), is presented below for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 (dollars in thousands):

(a) Represent the gains on the sale of three operating communities at the UDR/KFH joint venture level, as described in note (b) to the table above
summarizing the Company’s investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, net.
(b) Represent the net gains on the revaluation of the assets and liabilities to fair value of 15 operating communities at the UDR/MetLife II joint venture
level and one development community and four land parcels at the UDR/MetLife Vitruvian Park® joint venture level prior to their distribution to
the Company or MetLife in November 2019, as described in note (a) to the table above summarizing the Company’s investment in and advances to
unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, net. The net gain on revaluation of assets and liabilities to fair value was recognized at the joint
venture level as the respective joint ventures distributed their equity interests in the real estate to the Company or MetLife at fair value.
For the approximately 50% ownership interest acquired in the 10 operating communities, one development community and four land parcels
described above, the Company deferred its share of the net gain on revaluation of approximately $131.5 million and recorded it as a reduction of
the carrying amount of real estate owned. (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned). For the 50% ownership interest acquired in the five communities by
MetLife, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of $114.9 million at our share, when the communities were disposed of by the UDR/MetLife II
joint venture.

6. LEASES
Lessee - Ground and Office Leases
UDR owns six communities that are subject to ground leases, under which UDR is the lessee, expiring between 2043 and 2103, inclusive of
extension options we are reasonably certain will be exercised. All of these leases existed as of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance on
January 1, 2019 and we did not reassess lease classification per the practical expedient provided by the standard. As such, these leases will continue to
be classified as operating leases through the lease term expiration. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. We currently do not hold any finance leases.
As of December 31, 2019, the Operating lease right-of-use assets was $204.2 million and the Operating lease liabilities was $198.6 million on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets related to our ground leases. The value of the Operating lease right-of-use assets exceeds the value of the Operating
lease liabilities due to prepaid lease payments and intangible assets for ground leases acquired in the purchase of real estate. The calculation of these
amounts includes minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term (described further in the table below). Variable lease payments are excluded
from the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
As the discount rate implicit in the leases was not readily determinable, we determined the discount rate for these leases utilizing the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate at a portfolio level, adjusted for the remaining lease term, and the form of underlying collateral.
The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases was 44.7 years at December 31, 2019 and the weighted average discount rate was
5.0% at December 31, 2019.
Future minimum lease payments and total operating lease liabilities from our ground leases as of December 31, 2019 are as follows (dollars in
thousands):

For purposes of recognizing our ground lease contracts, the Company uses the minimum lease payments, if stated in the agreement. For ground
lease agreements where there is a rent reset provision based on a change in an index or a rate (i.e., changes in fair market rental rates or changes in the
consumer price index) but that does not include a specified minimum lease payment, the Company uses the current rent over the remainder of the lease
term. If there is a contingency upon which some or all of the variable lease payments that will be paid over the remainder of the lease term are based,
which is resolved such that those payments now meet the definition of lease payments, the Company will remeasure the right-of-use asset and lease
liability on the reset date. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities increased by
$111.1 million due to future minimum payments on two of our ground leases becoming fixed for the remainder of their terms.

Lessor - Apartment Home, Retail and Commercial Space Leases
UDR’s communities and retail and commercial space are leased to tenants under operating leases. As of December 31, 2019, our apartment
home leases generally have initial terms of 12 months or less and represent approximately 98.1% of our total lease revenue. As of December 31, 2019,
our retail and commercial space leases generally have initial terms of between 5 and 15 years and represent approximately 1.9% of our total lease
revenue. Our apartment home leases are generally renewable at the end of the lease term, subject to potential increases in rental rates, and our retail and
commercial space leases generally have renewal options, subject to associated increases in rental rates due to market-based or fixed-price renewal
options and certain other conditions. (See Note 16, Reportable Segments for further discussion around our major revenue streams and disaggregation of
our revenue.)
We previously owned a parcel of land subject to a ground lease under which UDR was the lessor, expiring in 2065. The ground lease included
a purchase option for the lessee to acquire the land during specific periods of the

percentage rents of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

DECEMBER 31, 2019
For purposes of classification of the above table, variable rate debt with a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is
deemed as fixed rate debt due to the Company having effectively established a fixed interest rate for the underlying debt instrument.
Our secured debt instruments generally feature either monthly interest and principal or monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments
due at maturity. As of December 31, 2019, secured debt encumbered $2.1 billion or 16.8% of UDR’s total real estate owned based upon gross book
value ($10.5 billion or 83.2% of UDR’s real estate owned based on gross book value is unencumbered).
(a) At December 31, 2019, fixed rate mortgage notes payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest and mature at
various dates from August 2020 through February 2030 and carry interest rates ranging from 2.70% to 4.35%.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company refinanced a $90.0 million credit facility with Fannie Mae to a fixed rate mortgage
due in October 2029 and took out a new mortgage of $72.5 million due in February 2030. Interest payments are due monthly at interest rates of 2.70%
and 3.10%, respectively. The refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification.
The Company will from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, the Company records the
debt at its estimated fair value and amortizes any difference between the fair value and par value to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt
instrument.
In November 2019, the Company assumed secured fixed rate mortgage notes payable with an outstanding balance of $313.4 million and a fair
value of $332.5 million in connection with the acquisition of approximately 50% ownership interest not previously owned in six operating communities
from the UDR/MetLife joint venture. The six mortgages had outstanding balances ranging from $32.6 million to $94.1 million and carry interest rates
from 3.25% to 4.12% (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned).
(b) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the $90.0 million outstanding balance under its secured credit facility
with Fannie Mae from proceeds received from the refinancing of the debt.
In November 2019, the Company assumed a secured credit facility with New York Life with an outstanding balance of $205.0 million and a
fair value of $219.3 million in connection with the acquisition of the approximately 50% ownership not previously owned in four operating
communities from the UDR/MetLife joint venture. The credit facility is a pooled facility and secured by those four properties. The credit facility is due
in January 2023 and has an interest rate of 4.90% (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned).

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company had $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, of
amortization of the fair market adjustment of debt assumed in the acquisition of properties inclusive of its fixed rate mortgage notes payable and credit
facilities, which was included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized fair market adjustment was a net
premium of $35.3 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(c) The variable rate mortgage note payable secures a tax-exempt housing bond issue that matures in March 2032. Interest on this note is

on the mortgage note was 1.79%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid off a $67.7 million variable rate mortgage note due on
August 1, 2019.
(d) The Company has a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million unsecured term
loan (the “Term Loan”). The credit agreement for these facilities (the “Credit Agreement”) allows the total commitments under the Revolving Credit
Facility and the total borrowings under the Term Loan to be increased to an aggregate maximum amount of up to $2.0 billion, subject to certain
conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 31,
2023, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2023.
Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis
points and a facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 90 basis points. Depending on the
Company’s credit rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 75 to 145 basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis
points, and the margin under the Term Loan ranges from 80 to 165 basis points.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The
Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default,
following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all
other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

Basic income/(loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
income/(loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the common shares issuable
from the assumed conversion of the OP Units and DownREIT Units, convertible preferred stock, stock options, unvested long-term incentive plan units
(“LTIP Units”), unvested restricted stock and continuous equity program forward sales agreements. Only those instruments having a dilutive impact on
our basic income/(loss) per share are included in diluted income/(loss) per share during the periods. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and
2017, the effect of the conversion of the OP Units, DownREIT Units, LTIP Units and the Company’s Series E preferred stock was not dilutive and
therefore not included in the above calculation.
In July 2017, the Company entered into an ATM sales agreement under which the Company may offer and sell up to 20.0 million shares of its
common stock, from time to time, to or through its sales agents and may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through its forward
purchasers. Upon entering into the ATM sales agreement, the Company simultaneously terminated the sales agreement for its prior at-the-market equity
offering program, which was entered into in April 2017, which replaced the prior at-the-market equity offering program entered into in April 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 7.0 million shares of common stock through its ATM program for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $316.5 million at a weighted average price per share of $45.29. Aggregate net proceeds from such sales, after deducting
related expenses, including commissions paid to the sales agents of approximately $4.0 million, were approximately $312.3 million, which were
primarily used to fund the Company’s recent acquisitions.
In connection with any forward sales agreement under the Company’s ATM program, the relevant forward purchasers will borrow from third
parties and, through the relevant sales agent, acting in its role as forward seller, sell a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the
number of shares underlying the agreement. The Company does not initially receive any proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares by the forward
seller.
In September 2019, the Company entered into a forward sales agreement under its ATM program for 1.3 million shares of common stock at an
initial forward price per share of $47.68. The initial forward price per share received by the Company upon settlement was determined on the applicable
settlement date based on adjustments made

to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the
term of the forward sales agreement.
In December 2019, the Company settled all 1.3 million shares sold under the forward sales agreement at a forward price per share of $47.41,
which is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the then-current federal funds rate, the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock and
commissions paid to sales agents of approximately $0.6 million, for net proceeds of $63.5 million. Aggregate net proceeds from such sales, after
deducting related expenses, was $63.2 million.
As of December 31, 2019, we had 11.7 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the ATM program.
In August 2019, the Company sold 7.5 million shares of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $349.9 million at a
price per share of $46.65. Aggregate net proceeds from the sale, after offering-related expenses, were approximately $349.8 million, which were used
for planned acquisitions of assets, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company has an equity distribution agreement which allows it from time to time, through its sales agents, to offer and sell up to 20.0
million shares of its common stock. Sales of such shares will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE at market prices. In July

Preferred Stock
The Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E”) has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $16.61 per share.
Subject to certain adjustments and conditions, each share of the Series E is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into one share of our common
stock prior to a “Special Dividend” declared in 2008 (1.083 shares after the Special Dividend). The holders of the Series E are entitled to vote on an as-
converted basis as a single class in combination with the holders of common stock at any meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors or for
any other purpose on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. The Series E has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund
or any mandatory redemption.
Distributions declared on the Series E for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $1.48, $1.40, and $1.33 per share,
respectively. The Series E is not listed on any exchange. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, a total of 2,780,994 shares of the Series E were outstanding.
UDR is authorized to issue up to 20.0 million shares of the Series F Preferred Stock (“Series F”). The Series F may be purchased by holders of

share of UDR’s Series F for each OP/DownREIT Unit held. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 1.1 million and less than 0.1 million
of the Series F shares were forfeited upon the conversion of OP Units and DownREIT Units into Company common stock, respectively.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, a total of 14.7 million and 15.8 million shares, respectively, of the Series F were outstanding with an
aggregate purchase value of $1,469 and $1,580, respectively. Holders of the Series F are entitled to one vote for each share of the Series F they hold,
voting together with the holders of our common stock, on each matter submitted to a vote of security holders at a meeting of our stockholders. The
Series F does not entitle its holders to dividends or any other rights, privileges or preferences.
Distribution Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
UDR’s Distribution Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) allows common and preferred stockholders the
opportunity to purchase, through the reinvestment of cash dividends and by making additional cash payments, additional shares of UDR’s common
stock. From inception through December 31, 2008, shareholders have elected to utilize the Stock Purchase Plan to reinvest their distribution for the
equivalent of 10.0 million shares of Company common stock. Shares in the amount of 11.0 million were reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase
Plan as of December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, UDR acquired all shares issued through the open market.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
In May 2001, the stockholders of UDR approved the long term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which supersedes the 1985 Stock Option Plan. The
LTIP authorizes the granting of awards which may take the form of options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, and any other right or interest relating to common stock or cash incentive awards to Company
directors, employees and outside trustees to promote the success of the Company by linking individual’s compensation via grants of share based
payment.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the LTIP was amended to set forth the terms of new classes of partnership interests in the
Operating Partnership designated as LTIP Units. LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal
income tax purposes, meaning that initially they are not economically equivalent in value to a share of our common stock, but over time can increase in
value to one-for-one parity with common stock by operation of special tax rules applicable to profits interests. Until and unless such parity is reached,
the value that an executive will realize for a given number of vested LTIP units is less than the value of an equal number of shares of our common
stock.
As of December 31, 2019, 19.0 million shares were reserved on an unadjusted basis for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards under the
LTIP. As of December 31, 2019, there were 6.3 million common shares available for issuance under the LTIP.
The LTIP contains change of control provisions allowing for the immediate vesting of an award upon certain events such as a merger where
UDR is not the surviving entity. Upon the death or disability of an award recipient all outstanding instruments will vest and all restrictions will lapse.
The LTIP specifies that in the event of a capital transaction, which includes but is not limited to stock dividends, stock splits, extraordinary cash
dividends and spin-offs, the number of shares available for grant in totality or to a single individual is to be adjusted proportionately. The LTIP specifies
that when a capital transaction occurs that would dilute the holder of the stock award, prior grants are to be adjusted such that the recipient is no worse
as a result of the capital transaction.
A summary of UDR’s LTIP Units and restricted stock activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows (shares in thousands):

Restricted Stock Awards
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Restricted stock awards are granted to Company employees, officers, and directors. The restricted stock awards are valued based upon the
closing sales price of UDR common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the vesting
period, which is generally three to four years. Restricted stock awards earn dividends payable in cash. Some of the restricted stock grants are based on
the Company’s performance and are subject to adjustment during the initial one year performance period. For the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, and 2017, we recognized $4.8 million, $4.3 million, and $4.0 million of compensation expense, net of capitalization, related to the amortization of
restricted stock awards, respectively. The total remaining compensation cost on unvested restricted stock awards was $3.9 million and had a weighted
average remaining contractual life of 1.6 years as of December 31, 2019.
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
In January 2019, certain officers of the Company were awarded a STI Unit grant under the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Program (“2019 LTI”).
The STI Unit awards represent short-term incentive compensation for the officers and were valued for compensation expense purposes based upon the
closing sales price of UDR common stock on the date of grant in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, or $33.40 per unit,
inclusive of a discount due to uncertainty associated with the STI Unit reaching parity with the value of a share of UDR common stock. Compensation
expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the vesting period, which is one year. The STI Unit awards are primarily based on the
Company’s performance and are subject to adjustment based on performance against predefined metrics during the one-year performance period. For
the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $7.2 million of compensation expense, net of capitalization, related to the amortization of STI Unit
awards. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, no expense was recognized for STI Unit awards. As the STI Unit awards vest over a one-
year period, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2019.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
In January 2019, certain officers of the Company were awarded either a restricted stock grant or an LTIP Unit grant, or a combination of both,
under the 2019 LTI. For both restricted stock grants and LTIP Unit grants, thirty percent of the 2019 LTI award is based upon FFO as Adjusted over a
one-year period and will vest fifty percent on the one-year anniversary and fifty percent on the two-year anniversary. Fifteen percent of the 2019 LTI
award is based upon relative FFO as Adjusted over a three-year period and will vest 100% at the end of the three-year performance period. The
remaining fifty-five percent of the 2019 LTI award is based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) as measured relative to comparable apartment REITs
over a three-year period and as measured relative to the Nareit Equity REITs Total Return Index over a three-year period whereby both will vest 100%
at the end of the three-year performance periods. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation
expense purposes based upon the closing sales price of UDR common stock on the date of grant or $38.39 per share. Because LTIP Units are granted at
the maximum potential payout and there is uncertainty associated with an LTIP Unit reaching parity with the value of a share of UDR common stock,
the portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon the one-year FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation expense purposes at $17.47 per unit on the
grant date, inclusive of a 9% discount, and the portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon the three-year FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation
expense purposes at $18.24 per unit on the grant date, inclusive of a 5% discount. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon relative TSR was
valued for compensation expense purposes at $43.63 per share for the comparable apartment REITs component and $43.42 per share for the Nareit
Equity REITs Total Return Index component on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo
simulation using a volatility factor of 21.0%. The portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon relative TSR was valued for compensation expense
purposes at $20.89 per unit, inclusive of a 5% discount, for the comparable apartment REITs component and $20.79 per unit, inclusive of a 5%
discount, for the Nareit Equity REITs Total Return Index component on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based
on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 21.0%.
In January 2018, certain officers of the Company were awarded either a restricted stock grant or an LTIP Unit grant, or a combination of both,
under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Program (“2018 LTI”). For both restricted stock grants and LTIP Unit grants, thirty percent of the 2018 LTI award
is based upon FFO as Adjusted over a one-year period and will vest fifty percent on the one-year anniversary and fifty percent on the two-year
anniversary. Fifteen percent of

The remaining fifty-five percent of the 2018 LTI award is based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) as measured relative to comparable apartment
REITs over a three-year period and as measured relative to the Nareit Equity REITs Total Return Index over a three-year period whereby both will vest
100% at the end of the three-year performance periods. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon FFO as Adjusted was valued for
compensation expense purposes based upon the closing sales price of UDR common stock on the date of grant or $38.06 per share. Because LTIP Units
are granted at the maximum potential payout and there is uncertainty associated with an LTIP Unit reaching parity with the value of a share of UDR
common stock, the portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon the one-year FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation expense purposes at $17.13
per unit on the grant date, inclusive of a 10% discount, and the portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon the three-year FFO as Adjusted was valued
for compensation expense purposes at $18.08 per unit on the grant date, inclusive of a 5% discount. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon
relative TSR was valued for compensation expense purposes at $42.18 per share for the comparable apartment REITs component and $40.49 per share
for the Nareit Equity REITs Total Return Index component on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte

purposes at $20.12 per unit, inclusive of a 5% discount, for the comparable apartment REITs component and $19.35 per unit, inclusive of a 5%
discount, for the Nareit Equity REITs Total Return Index component on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based
on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 17.0%.
In January 2017, certain officers of the Company were awarded either a restricted stock grant or an LTIP Unit grant, or a combination of both,
under the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Program (“2017 LTI”). For both restricted stock grants and LTIP Unit grants, thirty percent of the 2017 LTI award
is based upon FFO as Adjusted over a one-year period and will vest fifty percent on the one-year anniversary and fifty percent on the two-year
anniversary. Ten percent of the 2017 LTI award is based upon FFO as Adjusted over a three-year period and will vest 100% at the end of the three-year
performance period. The remaining sixty percent of the 2017 LTI award is based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) as measured relative to
comparable apartment REITs over a three-year period and on an absolute basis over a three-year period whereby both will vest 100% at the end of the
three-year performance periods. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation expense purposes
based upon the closing sales price of UDR common stock on the date of grant or $35.95 per share. Because LTIP Units are granted at the maximum
potential payout and there is uncertainty associated with an LTIP Unit reaching parity with the value of a share of UDR common stock, the portion of
the LTIP Unit grant based upon the one-year FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation expense purposes at $16.18 per unit on the grant date,
inclusive of a 10% discount, and the portion of the LTIP Unit grant based upon the three-year FFO as Adjusted was valued for compensation expense
purposes at $16.63 per unit on the grant date, inclusive of a 7.5% discount. The portion of the restricted stock grant based upon TSR was valued for
compensation expense purposes at $44.26 per share for the relative component and $31.40 per share for the absolute component on the grant date as
determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 23.0%. The portion of the LTIP
Unit grant based upon TSR was valued for compensation expense purposes at $20.54 per unit, inclusive of a 7.5% discount, for the relative component
and $14.71 per unit, inclusive of a 7.5% discount, for the absolute component on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model
based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 23.0%.
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we recognized $12.4 million, $9.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of
compensation expense, net of capitalization, related to the amortization of the awards. The total remaining compensation cost on unvested LTI awards
was $9.8 million and had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.4 years as of December 31, 2019.
Profit Sharing Plan
Our profit sharing plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time employees. Under the Plan, UDR makes
discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions to the Plan as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Aggregate
provisions for contributions, both matching and discretionary, which are included in UDR’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, was $1.2 million, $1.3 million, and $1.3 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
For 2019, 2018, and 2017, UDR believes that we have complied with the REIT requirements specified in the Code. As such, the REIT would
generally not be subject to federal income taxes.
For income tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders may consist of ordinary income, qualified dividends, capital gains,
unrecaptured section 1250 gains, return of capital, or a combination thereof. Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits
constitute a return of capital rather than taxable income and reduce the stockholder’s basis in their common shares. To the extent that a distribution
exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the stockholder’s basis in the common shares, it generally will be treated as a gain from
the sale or exchange of that stockholder’s common shares. Taxable distributions paid per common share were taxable as follows for the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (unaudited):

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had federal net operating loss carryovers (“NOL”) of $27.1 million expiring in 2032 through 2035 and
state NOLs of $68.1 million expiring in 2020 through 2032. A portion of these attributes are still available to the subsidiary REITs, but are carried at a
zero effective tax rate.
The Company’s Tax benefit/(provision), net was $(3.8) million and $(0.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The increase of $3.1 million was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million tax on a promoted interest and by $1.3 million on unrealized gains
related to other investment ventures. GAAP defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of income
tax positions presuming the taxing authorities’ full knowledge of the tax position and all relevant facts, but without considering time values. GAAP also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company evaluates our tax position using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not (greater
than 50 percent probability) to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical
merits of the position. The Company will then determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount of the benefit that is more likely than
not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. When applicable, UDR recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Tax
benefit/(provision), net. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, UDR has no material unrecognized income tax benefits/(provisions).

12. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership
Interests in the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership held by limited partners are represented by OP Units and DownREIT
Units, respectively. The income is allocated to holders of OP Units/DownREIT Units based upon net income attributable to common stockholders and
the weighted average number of OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding during
the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the
partnership agreements of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership.
Limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership have the right to require such partnership to redeem all or a
portion of the OP Units/DownREIT Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in
the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable), provided that such OP Units/DownREIT Units
have been outstanding for at least one year, subject to certain exceptions. UDR, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT
Partnership may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units/DownREIT Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT
Share Amount (generally one share of common stock of the Company for each OP Unit/DownREIT Unit), as defined in the partnership agreement of
the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable. Accordingly, the Company records the OP Units/DownREIT Units outside of
permanent equity and reports the OP Units/DownREIT Units at their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date.
The following table sets forth redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership for the years ended

The Company grants LTIP Units to certain employees and non-employee directors. The LTIP Units represent an ownership interest in the
Operating Partnership and have vesting terms of between one and three years, specific to the individual grants.
Noncontrolling interests related to long-term incentive plan units represent the unvested LTIP Units of these employees and non-employee
directors in the Operating Partnership. The net income/(loss) allocated to the unvested LTIP Units is included in Net (income)/loss attributable to
noncontrolling interests on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
13. FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level valuation hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used
to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated with observable market data.
● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and
liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant
unobservable inputs.

There were no transfers into or out of any of the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash
receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an
expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate options are
determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above
the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future
interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.
The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective
counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds,
mutual puts, and guarantees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate
the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the
impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments
are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting
policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by
counterparty portfolio.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership have a redemption feature and are marked to
their redemption value. The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and therefore, is
calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date. Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as
quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership are
classified as Level 2.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
At December 31, 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, real estate taxes payable,
accrued interest payable, security deposits and prepaid rent, distributions payable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of
the short term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, which includes notes receivable and debt
instruments, are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs that are utilized in their respective valuations.
We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of
those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and
our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate
based upon Level 3 inputs such as industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of our Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, net is
other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, age of the venture, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the entity, the
financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, and the relationships with the other joint venture partners and its lenders. Based on the
significance of the unobservable inputs, we classify these fair value measurements within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company did not
incur any other-than-temporary impairments in the value of its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, and 2017.
After determining an other-than-temporary decrease in the value of an equity method investment has occurred, we estimate the fair value of
our investment by estimating the proceeds we would receive upon a hypothetical liquidation of the investment at the date of measurement. Inputs reflect
management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the investment giving consideration to the terms of the joint venture
agreement and the estimated discounted future cash flows to be generated from the underlying joint venture assets. The inputs and assumptions utilized
to estimate the future cash flows of the underlying assets are based upon the Company’s evaluation of the economy, market trends, operating results,
and other factors, including judgments regarding costs to complete any construction activities, lease up and occupancy rates, rental rates, inflation rates,
capitalization rates utilized to estimate the projected cash flows at the disposition, and discount rates.

14. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally
manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages
economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and
through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that
arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by
interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s
known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate
movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company
making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash
flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an
up-front premium.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive
income/(loss), net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction
affects earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated
with existing variable-rate debt.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million, reclassified from Accumulated other
comprehensive income/(loss), net to Interest expense due to the de-designation of a cash flow hedge. No amounts were de-designated during the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to derivatives that will
be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Through December 31, 2020, the Company
estimates that an additional $1.7 million will be reclassified as a decrease to Interest expense.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of
interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

In addition to the interest rate swaps summarized above, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional value of $315.0
million that will become effective in January 2020 upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps summarized above. Additionally, the Company had
previously entered into two additional interest rate swaps with a notional value totaling $75.0 million that were subsequently terminated and settled
during the year ended December 31, 2019 in conjunction with the July 2019 issuance of $300.0 million of senior unsecured medium-term notes as
disclosed in Note 7, Secured and Unsecured, Net.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other
identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of GAAP. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging
relationships are recorded directly in earnings and

Purchase Commitments
In 2019, the Company entered into a contract to purchase a development land parcel located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for a purchase
price of approximately $14.8 million. The Company made a $0.8 million deposit on the purchase, which is generally non-refundable other than due to a
failure of closing conditions pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. The acquisition is expected to close in 2020, subject to customary closing
conditions.
Contingencies
Litigation and Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot determine the
ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. The Company believes that such liability, to the extent not provided for
through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
16. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
GAAP guidance requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to decide how to
allocate resources and for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. UDR’s Chief Operating Decision Maker is comprised of several members
of its executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business for our
reportable operating segments.
UDR owns and operates multifamily apartment communities that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of
apartment homes to a diverse base of tenants. The primary financial measures for UDR’s apartment communities are rental income and net operating
income (“NOI”). Rental income represents gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. NOI is defined as rental
income less direct property rental expenses. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI is property management expense, which is calculated as 2.875% of
F - 54
Table of Contents
UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
property revenue to cover the regional supervision and accounting costs related to consolidated property operations, and land rent. UDR’s Chief
Operating Decision Maker utilizes NOI as the key measure of segment profit or loss.
UDR’s two reportable segments are Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other:
● Same-Store Communities represent those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held as of
December 31, 2019. A comparison of operating results from the prior year is meaningful as these communities were owned and had
stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, there is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment
activities, and the community is not held for disposition within the current year. A community is considered to have stabilized occupancy
once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months.
● Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities,
including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed use
properties.
Management evaluates the performance of each of our apartment communities on a Same-Store Community and Non-Mature
Community/Other basis, as well as individually and geographically. This is consistent with the aggregation criteria under GAAP as each of our
apartment communities generally has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services, and tenants. Therefore, the Company’s reportable segments
have been aggregated by geography in a manner identical to that which is provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a
performance obligation by providing the services specified in a contract to the customer. All revenues are from external customers and no single tenant
or related group of tenants contributed 10% or more of UDR’s total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
The following is a description of the principal streams from which the Company generates its revenue:
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents or tenants in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.
Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term because collection of
the lease payments was probable at lease commencement, inclusive of any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise that option. In addition, in circumstances where a lease incentive is provided to tenants, the incentive is recognized as a reduction of
lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease revenue also includes all pass-through revenue from retail and residential leases and common area maintenance reimbursements from
retail leases. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as the Company transfers a service to the lessee other than the right to use the
underlying asset. The Company has elected the practical expedient under the leasing standard to not separate lease and non-lease components from its
resident and retail lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related lease component are the
same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is generated by services provided by the Company to its retail and residential tenants and other unrelated third parties. These
fees are generally recognized as earned.
Joint venture management and other fees
The Joint venture management and other fees revenue consists of management fees charged to our equity method joint ventures per the terms
of contractual agreements and other fees. Joint venture fee revenue is recognized

monthly as the management services are provided and the fees are earned or upon a transaction whereby the Company earns a fee. Joint venture
management and other fees are not allocable to a specific reportable segment or segments.

The Partners
United Dominion Realty, L.P.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2019 and
2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/loss, changes in capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Partnership at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ Ernst & Young LLP
We have served as the Partnership’s auditor since 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
1. CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
United Dominion Realty, L.P. (“UDR, L.P.,” the “Operating Partnership,” “we” or “our”) is a Delaware limited partnership, that owns,
acquires, renovates, redevelops, manages, and disposes of multifamily apartment communities generally located in high barrier to entry markets located
in the United States. The high barrier to entry markets are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and lengthy entitlement process,
expensive single-family home prices and significant employment growth potential. UDR, L.P. is a subsidiary of UDR, Inc. (“UDR” or the “General
Partner”), a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, through which UDR conducts a significant portion of its business. During the years
ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, rental revenues of the Operating Partnership represented 39%, 42%, and 43%, respectively, of the General
Partner’s consolidated rental revenues. As of December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership’s apartment portfolio consisted of 52 communities located
in 15 markets consisting of 16,434 apartment homes.
Interests in UDR, L.P. are represented by operating partnership units (“OP Units”). The Operating Partnership’s net income is allocated to the
partners, which is initially based on their respective distributions made during the year and secondly, their percentage interests. Distributions are made
in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating
Partnership Agreement”), on a per unit basis that is generally equal to the dividend per share on UDR’s common stock, which is publicly traded on the
New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “UDR.”
As of December 31, 2019, there were 184.1 million OP Units outstanding, of which 176.2 million, or 95.7%, were owned by UDR and
affiliated entities and 7.9 million, or 4.3%, were owned by outside limited partners. There were 183.6 million OP Units outstanding as of
December 31, 2018, of which 174.2 million, or 94.9%, were owned by UDR and affiliated entities and 9.4 million, or 5.1%, were owned by outside
limited partners. See Note 10, Capital Structure.
As sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, UDR owned all 0.1 million general partner OP units, or 0.1%, of the total OP Units
outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 184.0 million and 183.5 million, respectively, of limited
partner OP Units outstanding, of which 1.9 million were Class A Limited Partnership Units as of both periods. Of the limited partner OP Units
outstanding, UDR owned 176.1 million, or 95.7%, and 174.1 million, or 94.8%, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The remaining 7.9
million, or 4.3%, and 9.4 million, or 5.1%, of the limited partner OP Units outstanding were held by outside limited partners at December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively, of which 1.8 million were Class A Limited Partnership units as of both periods. See Note 10, Capital Structure.
The Operating Partnership evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-
recognized subsequent events were noted.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial
Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard requires entities to estimate a lifetime
expected credit loss for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other financial
instruments, and to present the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which amends the transition requirements and scope of ASU 2016-13
and clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in
accordance with the leases standard. The updated standard became effective for the Operating Partnership on January 1, 2020 and is to be adopted on a
modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on that date. While we are currently evaluating the impact
ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we do not expect the updated standard to have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

DECEMBER 31, 2019
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard amended the existing lease accounting guidance and required lessees
to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases continued to recognize lease
expense in a manner similar to previous accounting. For lessors, accounting for leases under the new guidance was substantially the same as in prior
periods, but eliminated current real estate-specific provisions and changed the treatment of initial direct costs. The standard was effective for the
Operating Partnership on January 1, 2019.
The Operating Partnership elected the following package of practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess
whether any expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing
leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Operating Partnership also elected the short-term lease
exception provided for in the standard and therefore only recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year.
Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019, the Operating Partnership recognized right-of-use assets of $94.2 million and lease
liabilities of $88.2 million. The right-of-use assets included $6.0 million of prepaid rent and intangible assets that was included within Other assets on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018.
The lease liabilities represent the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments as of January 1, 2019 related to ground leases for
communities where we are the lessee. The right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, which are calculated
utilizing the lease liabilities plus any prepaid lease payments and intangible assets for ground leases acquired in the purchase of real estate. Our right-of-
use assets and related lease liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 may change as a result of updates to the projected future minimum lease
payments. Certain of our ground lease agreements where we are the lessee have future minimum lease payments that reset in the future based upon a
percentage of the fair market value of the land at the time of the reset. The Operating Partnership will continue to recognize lease expense for these
leases in a manner similar to previous accounting based on our election of the package of practical expedients. However, in the event we modify
existing ground leases and/or enter into new ground leases subsequent to the adoption of the standard, such leases would likely be classified as finance
leases under the standard and require expense recognition based on the effective interest method. Under the standard, initial direct costs for both lessees
and lessors will include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As
a result, subsequent to the adoption of the standard, we are expensing non-incremental leasing costs as incurred.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases – Targeted Improvements, which provided entities with relief from the costs of
implementing certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, Leases. The ASU provided a practical expedient which allowed lessors to not separate lease and non-
lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both: (i) the timing and pattern of revenue
recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified
as an operating lease. The Operating Partnership elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component in
lease contracts where we are the lessor. The ASU also provided a transition option that permitted entities to not recast the comparative periods presented
when transitioning to the standard, which the Operating Partnership also elected.
Real Estate
Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost and consist of land, land improvements, buildings and improvements,
furniture, fixtures and equipment and other costs incurred during their development, acquisition and redevelopment.
Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and
replacements related to the acquisition and/or improvement of real estate assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the
expenditures qualify as a betterment or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
The Operating Partnership purchases real estate investment properties and records the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities
acquired based on their estimated fair value. The primary, although not only, identifiable intangible asset associated with our portfolio is the value of
existing lease agreements. When recording the acquisition of a community, we first assign fair value to the estimated intangible value of the existing
lease agreements and then to the estimated value of the land, building and fixtures assuming the community is vacant. The Operating Partnership
estimates the intangible value of the lease agreements by determining the lost revenue associated with a hypothetical lease-up. Depreciation on the
building is based on the expected useful life of the asset and the in-place leases are amortized over their remaining average contractual life. Property
acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred if the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business.
Quarterly or when changes in circumstances warrant, the Operating Partnership will assess our real estate properties for indicators of
impairment. In determining whether the Operating Partnership has indicators of impairment in our real estate assets, we assess whether the long-lived
asset’s carrying value exceeds the community’s undiscounted future cash flows, which is representative of projected net operating income (“NOI”) plus
the residual value of the community. Our future cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future
market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. If such indicators of impairment are present and the carrying value exceeds the
undiscounted cash flows of the community, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated
fair value. Our estimates of fair market value represent our best estimate based primarily upon unobservable inputs related to rental rates, operating
costs, growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell is less than
the carrying value of the asset. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are actively marketed or
contracted for sale with the closing expected to occur within the next twelve months. Real estate held for disposition is carried at the lower of cost, net
of accumulated depreciation, or fair value, less the cost to sell, determined on an asset-by-asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance
costs on held for disposition properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to
held for disposition properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held for disposition.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which are 30 to 55 years for buildings, 10
to 35 years for major improvements, and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other assets.
Predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects and related costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets
as Total real estate owned, net of accumulated depreciation. The Operating Partnership capitalizes costs directly related to the predevelopment,
development, and redevelopment of a capital project, which include, but are not limited to, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated
development and redevelopment overhead related to support costs for personnel working on the capital projects. We use our professional judgment in
determining whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalized only during the period in
which activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to
get the asset ready for its intended use. These costs, excluding the direct costs of development and redevelopment and capitalized interest, for the years
ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $0.8 million, less than $0.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. During the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, total interest capitalized was $0.2 million, less than $0.1 million, and less than $0.1 million, respectively. As each
home in a capital project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the Operating Partnership ceases capitalization on the related portion and
depreciation commences over the estimated useful life.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments. We
consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The majority of the Operating
Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks.

Restricted Cash
UNITED DOMINION REALTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, and security
deposits.
Real Estate Sales Gain Recognition
For sale transactions resulting in a transfer of a controlling financial interest of a property, the Operating Partnership generally derecognizes
the related assets and liabilities from its Consolidated Balance Sheets and records the gain or loss in the period in which the transfer of control occurs. If
control of the property has not transferred to the counterparty, the criteria for derecognition are not met and the Operating Partnership will continue to
recognize the related assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Sale transactions to entities in which the Operating Partnership sells a controlling financial interest in a property but retains a noncontrolling
interest are accounted for as partial sales. Partial sales resulting in a change in control are accounted for at fair value and a full gain or loss is
recognized. Therefore, the Operating Partnership will record a gain or loss on the partial interest sold, and the initial measurement of our retained
interest will be accounted for at fair value.
Sales of real estate to joint ventures or other noncontrolled investees are also accounted for at fair value and the Operating Partnership will
record a full gain or loss in the period the property is contributed.
To the extent that the Operating Partnership acquires a controlling financial interest in a property that it previously accounted for as an equity
method investment, the Operating Partnership will not remeasure its previously held interest if the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition. The
Operating Partnership will include the carrying amount of its previously held equity method interest along with the consideration paid and transaction
costs incurred in determining the amounts to allocate to the related assets and liabilities acquired on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treated as an
asset acquisition, the Operating Partnership will not recognize a gain on consolidation of a property.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The General Partner utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and generally designates these financial instruments as
cash flow hedges. Derivative financial instruments associated with the Operating Partnership’s allocation of the General Partner’s debt are recorded on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability and measured quarterly at their fair value. The changes in fair value for the General
Partner’s cash flow hedges allocated to the Operating Partnership that are deemed effective are reflected in other comprehensive income/(loss) and for
non-designated derivative financial instruments in earnings. The ineffective component of cash flow hedges, if any, is recorded in earnings.
Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interests represent the General Partner’s interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries and are presented in the capital
section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets since these interests are not convertible or redeemable into any other ownership interests of the Operating
Partnership.
Income Taxes
The taxable income or loss of the Operating Partnership is reported on the tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no provision has been made
in the accompanying financial statements for federal or state income taxes on income that is passed through to the partners. However, any state or local
revenue, excise or franchise taxes that result from the operating activities of the Operating Partnership are recorded at the entity level. The Operating
Partnership’s tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. Net income for financial reporting purposes differs from the
net income for income tax reporting purposes primarily due to temporary differences, principally real estate depreciation and the tax deferral of certain
gains on property sales. The differences in depreciation result from differences in the book and tax basis of certain real estate assets and the differences
in the methods of depreciation and lives of the real estate assets.

DECEMBER 31, 2019
The Operating Partnership evaluates the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the
Operating Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.
Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management of
the Operating Partnership is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include
federal and certain states. The Operating Partnership has no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.
Management of the Operating Partnership has reviewed all open tax years (2016 through 2018) of tax jurisdictions and concluded there is no
tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with GAAP, a discontinued operation represents (1) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of
or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s financial results,
or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. A strategic shift could include a disposal of (1) a separate major
line of business, (2) a separate major geographic area of operations, (3) a major equity method investment, or (4) other major parts of an entity.
We record sales of real estate that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation in Gain/(loss) on sale of real estate owned on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Allocation of General and Administrative Expenses
The Operating Partnership is charged directly for general and administrative expenses it incurs. The Operating Partnership is also charged with
other general and administrative expenses that have been allocated by the General Partner to each of its subsidiaries, including the Operating
Partnership, based on reasonably anticipated benefits to the parties. (See Note 7, Related Party Transactions.)
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the line item Property
operating and maintenance. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, total advertising expense was $1.9 million, $1.9 million, and
$2.1 million, respectively.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss), which is defined as the change in capital during each period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources, including all changes in capital during a period except for those resulting from investments by or distributions to
unitholders, is displayed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). For the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, and 2017, the Operating Partnership’s other comprehensive income/(loss) consisted of the gain/(loss) (effective portion) on derivative instruments
that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and (gain)/loss reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings. The (gain)/loss
reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) is included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9,
Derivatives and Hedging Activity, for further discussion.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.

The Operating Partnership did not have any acquisitions of real estate during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Dispositions
The Operating Partnership did not have any dispositions of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2019.
In February 2018, the Operating Partnership sold an operating community in Orange County, California with a total of 264 apartment homes
for gross proceeds of $90.5 million, resulting in a gain of $70.3 million. The proceeds were designated for a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange that
were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition in October 2017.
In December 2018, the Operating Partnership sold a commercial office building in Fairfax, Virginia for gross proceeds of $9.3 million,
resulting in a gain of $5.2 million.
Other Activity
In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay certain of the tax liabilities of certain
contributors if the Operating Partnership sells one or more of the properties contributed in a taxable transaction prior to the expiration of specified
periods of time following the acquisition. The Operating Partnership may, however, sell, without being required to pay any tax liabilities, any of such
properties in a non-taxable transaction, including, but not limited to, a tax deferred Section 1031 exchange.
Further, the Operating Partnership has agreed to maintain certain debt that may be guaranteed by certain contributors for specified periods of
time following the acquisition. The Operating Partnership, however, has the ability to refinance or repay guaranteed debt or to substitute new debt if the
debt and the guaranty continue to satisfy certain conditions.

4. UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
The DownREIT Partnership is accounted for by the Operating Partnership under the equity method of accounting and is included in Investment
in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Operating Partnership recognizes earnings or losses from its investments in
unconsolidated entities consisting of our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the partnership in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement.
The DownREIT Partnership is a VIE as the limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. The Operating
Partnership is not the primary beneficiary of the DownREIT Partnership as it lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its
economic performance and will continue to account for its interest as an equity method investment.
As of December 31, 2019, the DownREIT Partnership owned 12 communities with 5,657 apartment homes. The Operating Partnership’s
investment in the DownREIT Partnership was $76.2 million and $103.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In December 2018, the DownREIT Partnership sold an operating community in Fairfax, Virginia with a total of 604 apartment homes for gross
proceeds of $150.7 million. As a result, the Operating Partnership recorded a gain of $51.1 million, which is included in Income/(loss) from
unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Operating Partnership owns six communities that are subject to ground leases, under which the Operating Partnership is the lessee,
expiring between 2043 and 2103, inclusive of extension options we are reasonably certain will be exercised. All of these leases existed as of the
adoption of the new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
we did not reassess lease classification per the practical expedient provided by the standard. As such, these leases will continue to be classified as
operating leases through the lease term expiration. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the remaining lease term. In addition, the Operating Partnership leases equipment at six communities from the General Partner, which expire in
2029. We currently do not hold any finance leases.
As of December 31, 2019, the Operating lease right-of-use assets was $205.7 million and the Operating lease liabilities was $200.0 million on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets related to our ground and equipment leases. The value of the Operating lease right-of-use assets exceeds the value of
the Operating lease liabilities due to prepaid lease payments and intangible assets for ground leases acquired in the purchase of real estate. The
calculation of these amounts includes minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term (described further in the table below). Variable lease
payments are excluded from the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those
payments is incurred.
As the discount rate implicit in the leases was not readily determinable, we determined the discount rate for these leases utilizing the Operating
Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate at a portfolio level, adjusted for the remaining lease term, and the form of underlying collateral.
The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases was 44.4 years at December 31, 2019 and the weighted average discount rate was
5.0% at December 31, 2019.
Future minimum lease payments and total operating lease liabilities from our ground and equipment leases as of December 31, 2019 are as

For purposes of recognizing our ground lease contracts, the Operating Partnership uses the minimum lease payments, if stated in the
agreement. For ground lease agreements where there is a rent reset provision based on a change in an index or a rate (i.e., changes in fair market rental
rates or changes in the consumer price index) but that does not include a specified minimum lease payment, the Operating Partnership uses the current
rent over the remainder of the lease term. If there is a contingency, upon which some or all of the variable lease payments that will be paid over the
remainder of the lease term are based, which is resolved such that those payments now meet the definition of lease payments, the Operating Partnership
will remeasure the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the reset date. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Operating lease right-of-use assets and
Operating lease liabilities increased by $111.1 million due to future minimum payments on two of our ground leases becoming fixed for the remainder
of their terms. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities increased by $1.4 million due
to the Operating Partnership entering into new equipment leases.

(a) Variable ground lease expense includes adjustments such as changes in the consumer price index and payments based on a percentage of income
of the lessee.
(b) Ground lease and equipment lease expense is reported within the line item Other operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
(c) For the year ended December 31, 2019, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities amortized by $1.0 million and $0.7
million, respectively. The Operating Partnership recorded $0.3 million of total operating lease expense during the year ended December 31, 2019,
due to the net impact of the amortization.
(d) No leases qualified for the short-term lease exception during the year ended December 31, 2019. As such, short-term lease expense was zero for
the year ended December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2018, in accordance with previously applicable lease accounting guidance, ASC 840, Leases, the future minimum lease
payments from our ground leases were as follows;
Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2018 were $4.9 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2019 to 2023 and a
total of $313.9 million for years thereafter.
The Operating Partnership incurred $7.3 million and $6.2 million of ground rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. These costs are reported within the line item Other Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Lessor - Apartment Home, Retail and Commercial Leases
The Operating Partnership’s communities and retail and commercial space are leased to tenants under operating leases. As of December 31,
2019, our apartment home leases generally have initial terms of 12 months or less and represent 98.4% of our total lease revenue. As of December 31,
2019, our retail and commercial space leases generally have initial terms between 5 and 15 years and represent approximately 1.6% of our total lease
revenue. Our apartment home leases are generally renewable at the end of the lease term, subject to potential increases in rental rates, and our retail and
commercial space leases generally have renewal options, subject to associated increases in rental rates due to market-based or fixed-price renewal
options and certain other conditions. (See Note 12, Reportable Segments for further discussion around our major revenue streams and disaggregation of
our revenue.)

variable percentage rents of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.
6. DEBT, NET
Our secured debt instruments generally feature either monthly interest and principal or monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments
due at maturity. For purposes of classification in the following table, variable rate debt with a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow
hedge is deemed as fixed rate debt due to the Operating Partnership having effectively established the fixed interest rate for the underlying debt
instrument. Secured debt consists of the following as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

The Operating Partnership may from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, management
will record the secured debt at its estimated fair value and amortize any difference between the fair value and par to interest expense over the life of the
underlying debt instrument. The Operating Partnership did not have any unamortized fair value adjustments associated with the secured debt
instruments on the Operating Partnership’s properties.
Fixed Rate Debt
Mortgage notes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into a fixed rate mortgage note payable
for $72.5 million with an interest rate of 3.10%. Interest payments are due monthly and the note matures in February 2030.

March 2032. Interest on this note is payable in monthly installments. The mortgage note payable has an interest rate of 1.79% as of December 31, 2019.
Guarantor on Unsecured Debt
The Operating Partnership is the guarantor on the General Partner’s unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity
of $1.1 billion, an unsecured commercial paper program with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $500 million, a $350 million term loan due
September 2023, $300 million of medium-term notes due July 2024, $300 million of medium-term notes due October 2025, $300 million of medium-
term notes due September 2026, $300 million of medium-term notes due July 2027, $300 million of medium-term notes due January 2028, $300 million
of medium-term notes due January 2029, $400 million of medium-term notes due January 2030, $400 million of medium-term notes due August 2031,
and $300 million of medium-term notes due November 2034. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the General Partner did not have an outstanding
balance under the unsecured revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million and $101.1 million, respectively, outstanding under its unsecured
commercial paper program.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Shared Services Agreement
The Operating Partnership self-manages its own properties and is party to an Inter-Company Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement with the
General Partner. This agreement provides for reimbursements to the General Partner for the Operating Partnership’s allocable share of costs incurred by
the General Partner for (a) general and administrative costs, and (b) shared services of corporate level property management employees and related
support functions and costs.
Allocation of General and Administrative Expenses
The General Partner shares various general and administrative costs with the Operating Partnership including legal assistance, acquisitions
analysis, marketing, human resources, IT, accounting, rent, supplies and advertising, and allocates these costs to the Operating Partnership first on the
basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on the reasonably anticipated benefits to the parties. The general and
administrative expenses allocated to the Operating Partnership by UDR were $13.8 million, $13.5 million, and $14.0 million during the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the
opinion of management, this method of allocation reflects the level of services received by the Operating Partnership from the General Partner.
During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Operating Partnership also reimbursed the General Partner $16.9 million,
$15.2 million, and $15.4 million, respectively, for shared services related to corporate level property management costs incurred by the General Partner.
These shared cost reimbursements are initially recorded within the line item General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations,
and a portion related to property management costs is reclassified to Property management on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In December 2018, the Operating Partnership converted the remaining outstanding portion of the Advances (to)/from the General Partner capital
balance in connection with entering into an unsecured revolving note payable with the General Partner. There is no limit on the total commitments
under this note. Interest is incurred on the unpaid principal balance at a variable interest rate equivalent to the General Partner’s weighted average
interest rate on borrowings, or 3.43% as of December 31, 2019. The note matures on December 1, 2028. To the extent there is an outstanding
principal balance on the revolving note payable, the General Partner, at its discretion, can demand payment at any time prior to the stated maturity
date of the note.
Certain limited partners of the Operating Partnership have provided guarantees or reimbursement agreements related to these notes payable.
The guarantees were provided by the limited partners in conjunction with their contribution of properties to the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership recognized interest expense on the notes payable of $28.0 million, $14.1 million and $12.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, and 2017, respectively.
8. FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level valuation hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used
to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated with observable market data.
● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and
liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant
unobservable inputs.

There were no transfers into or out of each of the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash
receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an
expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate options are
determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above
the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future
interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.
The General Partner, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own
nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative
contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Operating Partnership has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements,
such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
Although the General Partner, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as
estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the
Operating Partnership has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions
and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Operating
Partnership has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In conjunction with the
FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Operating Partnership made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative
financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
As of December 31, 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, real estate taxes payable,
accrued interest payable, security deposits and prepaid rent, distributions payable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of
the short term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, which includes debt instruments, are classified in
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs that are utilized in their respective valuations.
The Operating Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than
the net book value of those assets. Cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect management’s best estimate of future market
and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. The General Partner’s
estimates of fair value represent management’s estimates based upon Level 3 inputs such as industry trends and reference to market rates and
transactions. The Operating Partnership did not incur any other-than-temporary impairments in the value of its investments in unconsolidated entities
during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
9. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Operating Partnership is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The General Partner
principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The General
Partner manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt
funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the General Partner enters into derivative financial instruments to manage
exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are
determined by interest rates. The General Partner’s and the Operating Partnership’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in
the amount, timing, and duration of the General Partner’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the General Partner’s borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The General Partner’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest
rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the General Partner primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk
management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange
for the General Partner making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate
caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the
contract in exchange for an up-front premium.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive
income/(loss), net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction
affects earnings. During the year ended
F - 80

UNITED DOMINION REALTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2019
December 31, 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of and during the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were held by the Operating Partnership.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership recognized a loss of $0.1 million reclassified from Accumulated other
comprehensive income/(loss), net to Interest expense due to the de-designation of a cash flow hedge. No amounts were de-designated during the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as
interest payments are made on the General Partner’s variable-rate debt that is owed by the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2019, no
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were held by the Operating Partnership and, as a result, no amounts are anticipated to be reclassified as an
increase to interest expense through December 31, 2020.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Operating Partnership’s exposure to interest rate
movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of GAAP. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not
designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings and resulted in no gain or loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
and a loss of less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The General Partner has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the General Partner could be declared in
default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the General Partner’s default on the
indebtedness.
The General Partner has certain agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where, in the event of default by
the General Partner or the counterparty, the right of setoff may be exercised. Any amount payable to one party by the other party may be reduced by its
setoff against any amounts payable by the other party. Events that give rise to default by either party may include, but are not limited to, the failure to
pay or deliver payment under the derivative agreement, the failure to comply with or perform under the derivative agreement, bankruptcy, a merger
without assumption of the derivative agreement, or in a merger, a surviving entity’s creditworthiness is materially weaker than the original party to the
derivative agreement.
10. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
General Partnership Units
The General Partner has complete discretion to manage and control the operations and business of the Operating Partnership, which includes
but is not limited to the acquisition and disposition of real property, construction of buildings and making capital improvements, and the borrowing of
funds from outside lenders or UDR and its subsidiaries to finance such activities. The General Partner can generally authorize, issue, sell, redeem or
purchase any OP Unit or securities of the Operating Partnership without the approval of the limited partners. The General Partner can also approve, with
regard to the issuances of OP Units, the class or one or more series of classes, with designations, preferences, participating, optional or other special
rights, powers and duties including rights, powers and duties senior to limited partnership interests without approval of any limited partners except
holders of Class A Limited Partnership Units. There were 0.1 million General Partnership units outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018, all of
which were held by UDR.
Limited Partnership Units
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 184.0 million and 183.5 million, respectively, of limited partnership units outstanding, of
which 1.9 million were Class A Limited Partnership Units for both periods. UDR owned 176.1 million, or 95.7%, and 174.1 million, or 94.9%, of OP
Units outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which 0.1 million were Class A Limited Partnership Units for both periods. The
remaining 7.9 million, or 4.3%, and 9.4 million, or 5.1%, of OP Units outstanding were held by outside limited partners at December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively, of which 1.8 million were Class A Limited Partnership Units for both periods.
Subject to the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement, the limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem
all or a portion of the OP Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the
Operating Partnership Agreement), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. UDR, as general partner of the Operating
Partnership, may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Share Amount
(generally one share of common stock of UDR for each OP Unit), as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement.
The outside limited partners’ capital is adjusted to redemption value at the end of each reporting period with the corresponding offset against
UDR’s limited partner capital account based on the redemption rights noted above. The aggregate value upon redemption of the then-outstanding OP
Units held by outside limited partners was $366.4 million and $371.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, based on the value of
UDR’s common stock at each

period end. A limited partner has no right to receive any distributions from the Operating Partnership on or after the date of redemption of its OP Units.
Class A Limited Partnership Units
Class A Limited Partnership Units have a cumulative, annual, non-compounded preferred return, which is equal to 8% based on a value of
$16.61 per Class A Limited Partnership Unit.
Holders of the Class A Limited Partnership Units exclusively possess certain voting rights. The Operating Partnership may not do the
following without approval of the holders of the Class A Limited Partnership Units: (i) increase the authorized or issued amount of Class A Limited
Partnership Units, (ii) reclassify any other partnership interest into Class A Limited Partnership Units, (iii) create, authorize or issue any obligations or
security convertible into or the right to purchase Class A Limited Partnership Units, (iv) enter into a merger or acquisition, or (v) amend or modify the
Operating Partnership Agreement in a manner that adversely affects the relative rights, preferences or privileges of the Class A Limited Partnership
Units.

UDR grants short-term and long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) to certain employees and non-employee directors. The LTIP Units
represent an ownership interest in the Operating Partnership and have voting and distribution rights consistent with OP Units. The LTIP Units are
subject to the terms of UDR’s long-term incentive plan.
Two classes of LTIP Units are granted, Class 1 LTIP Units and Class 2 LTIP Units. Class 1 LTIP Units are granted to certain employees and
non-employee directors and vest over a period of up to four years. Class 2 LTIP Units are granted to certain employees and vest over a period from one
to three years subject to certain performance and market conditions being achieved. Vested LTIP Units may be converted into OP Units provided that
such LTIP Units have been outstanding for at least two years from the date of grant.
Allocation of Profits and Losses
Profit of the Operating Partnership is allocated in the following order: (i) to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in proportion to and
up to the amount of cash distributions made during the year, and (ii) to the General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with their percentage
interests. Losses and depreciation and amortization expenses, non-recourse liabilities are allocated to the General Partner and Limited Partners in
accordance with their percentage interests. Losses allocated to the Limited Partners are capped to the extent that such an allocation would not cause a
deficit in the Limited Partners’ capital account. Such losses are, therefore, allocated to the General Partner. If any Partner’s capital balance were to fall
into a deficit, any income and gains are allocated to each Partner sufficient to eliminate its negative capital balance.

The Operating Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Operating
Partnership cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. The General Partner believes that such
liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership’s financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
12. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
GAAP guidance requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to decide how to
allocate resources and for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. The Operating Partnership has the same Chief Operating Decision Maker
as that of its parent, the General Partner. The Chief Operating Decision Maker consists of several members of UDR’s executive management team who
use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business for our reportable operating segments.
The Operating Partnership owns and operates multifamily apartment communities throughout the United States that generate rental and other
property related income through the leasing of apartment homes to a diverse base of tenants. The primary financial measures of the Operating
Partnership’s apartment communities are rental income and net operating income (“NOI”), and are included in the Chief Operating Decision Maker’s
assessment of the Operating Partnership’s performance on a consolidated basis. Rental income represents gross market rent less adjustments for
concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. NOI is defined as total revenues less direct property operating expenses. Rental expenses include real estate
taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI are property management costs, which
are the Operating Partnership’s allocable share of costs incurred by the General Partner for shared services of corporate level property management
employees and related support functions and costs. The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the General Partner utilizes NOI as the key measure of
segment profit or loss.
The Operating Partnership’s two reportable segments are Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other:
● Same-Store Communities represent those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 and held as of
December 31, 2019. A comparison of operating results from the prior year is meaningful as these communities were owned and had
stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, there is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment
activities, and the community is not held for disposition within the current year. A community is considered to have stabilized occupancy
once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months.
● Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities,
including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed use
properties.

DECEMBER 31, 2019
Management of the General Partner evaluates the performance of each of the Operating Partnership’s apartment communities on a Same-Store
Community and Non-Mature Community/Other basis, as well as individually and geographically. This is consistent with the aggregation criteria under
GAAP as each of our apartment communities generally has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services, and tenants. Therefore, the Operating
Partnership’s reportable segments have been aggregated by geography in a manner identical to that which is provided to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker.
All revenues are from external customers and no single tenant or related group of tenants contributed 10% or more of the Operating
Partnership’s total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
The following is a description of the principal streams from which the Operating Partnership generates its revenue:
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents or tenants in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.
Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term because collection of
the lease payments was probable at lease commencement, inclusive of any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise that option. In addition, in circumstances where a lease incentive is provided to tenants, the incentive is recognized as a reduction of
lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease revenue also includes all pass-through revenue from retail and residential leases and common area maintenance reimbursements from
retail leases. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as the Operating Partnership transfers a service to the lessee other than the
right to use the underlying asset. The Operating Partnership has elected the practical expedient under the leasing standard to not separate lease and non-
lease components from its resident and retail lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related
lease component are the same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is generated by services provided by the Operating Partnership to its retail and residential tenants and other unrelated third
parties. These fees are generally recognized as earned.

UDR, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., as nominee for The
Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount of THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
($300,000,000), on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as
defined on the reverse hereof, or any earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter referred
to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any
overdue principal, premium and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at the Interest Rate per annum specified
above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Company will pay interest in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided,
however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest payment will commence on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the next
succeeding Record Date to the registered holder (the “Holder”) of this Note on the next succeeding Record
Date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder and to the Trustee and their
successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under the Indenture whether for principal of or
interest on the Notes (and premium and Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under the Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within the applicable grace
periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes (all such obligations guaranteed
hereby by the Operating Partnership being the “Guarantee”). The Holder of this Note may enforce its rights under the
Guarantee directly against the Operating Partnership without first making a demand or taking action against the
Company or any other person or entity. The Operating Partnership may, without the consent of the Holder of this Note,
assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Note and, upon such assumption, the Company will be
released from its liabilities under the Indenture and this Note.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes, as defined on the reverse hereof) is registered at the close of business on the
April 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date (the “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to
the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date
3
(“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the close of business on any Record Date
and, instead, shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special
record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee
hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar
days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully
provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be
made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, upon delivery of instructions as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the office or agency
maintained by the Company for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently the
corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 40 Broad Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10004, or at such other
paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; provided,
however, that if the Specified Currency (as defined below) is other than United States dollars and such payment is to
be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder hereof at least 15
calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note is
presented and surrendered and, if applicable, instructions are delivered at the aforementioned office or agency
maintained by the Company in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal
procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made at the
aforementioned office or agency maintained by the Company or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the
address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee;
provided, however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars,
the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having
identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date
by wire transfer of immediately available funds if such Holder has delivered appropriate wire transfer instructions in
writing to the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date
of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday
nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York; provided, however, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, such day must
also not be a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close
in the
4
Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified
Currency is Euro, such day must also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement
Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open). “Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country
issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars,
Euros, South African rands and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” shall be The City of New York, Sydney,
Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in
the currency in which this Note is denominated above (or, if such currency is not at the time of such payment legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency or, if such currency is Euro, in
the member states of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, then the currency which is at the
time of such payment legal tender in the related country or in the adopting member states of the European Union, as the
case may be) (the “Specified Currency”). If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, except as
otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate
Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.
Any United States dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the
Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on
such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes scheduled to
receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency
exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid
quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in respect of this Note in the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The
City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as
the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of
facsimile transmission. The Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in
the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, and need not file a separate
election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice delivered to the Trustee,
but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or
at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the Holder of this Note shall have duly made
an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal,
5
premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, but the Specified Currency is
not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the
Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States
dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the
second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Specified Currency other than
United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified
Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. Any payment made in United States dollars under such circumstances shall not constitute an Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Holder of any Note against any loss incurred by such Holder as a result
of any judgment or order being given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment
or order requiring payment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the Specified Currency, and as a result
of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the
Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Holder, on
the date of payment of such judgment or order, is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the
Judgment Currency actually received by such Holder, as the case may be. The foregoing indemnity constitutes a
separate and independent obligation of the Company and continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so
specified on the face hereof, in an Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if
set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or “Other/Additional Provisions” apply to
this Note as specified above, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such
“Other/Additional Provisions”.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
UDR, INC.
MEDIUM‑‑TERM NOTE, SERIES A
DUE NINE MONTHS OR MORE FROM DATE OF ISSUE, FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED
BY UNITED DOMINION REALTY, L.P.
(Fixed Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities (the “Debt Securities”) of the Company issued
and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995, as supplemented by the first supplemental
indenture thereto, dated as of May 3, 2011, as further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
“Indenture”), between the Company (successor by merger to United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Virginia
corporation) and U.S. Bank National Association, successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association (formerly
known as First Union National Bank of Virginia), as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as “Medium-Term Notes,
Series A Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue, Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by United Dominion
Realty, L.P.” (the “Notes”). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an Addendum hereto shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case may be.
United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder and to the Trustee and their
successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under the Indenture whether for principal of or
interest on the Notes (and premium and Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under the Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within the applicable grace
periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes (all such obligations guaranteed
hereby by the Operating Partnership being the “Guarantee”). The Holder of this Note may enforce its rights under the
Guarantee directly against the Operating Partnership without first making a demand or taking action against the
Company or any other person or entity. The Operating Partnership may, without the consent of the Holder of this Note,
assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Note and, upon such assumption, the Company will be
released from its liabilities under the Indenture and this Note.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S. $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof or other Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
8
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof in
accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated
Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial
Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.
$1,000 or other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such other minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined
below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on
written notice given to the Holder hereof (in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 45 nor less
than 15 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Price” shall be an amount equal to the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if
any, specified on the face hereof) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial
Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be
redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion
hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of
the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof on the Optional
Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or other
integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least
U.S. $1,000 or such other minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid
principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (the
“Repayment Date”). For this Note to be repaid, the Trustee must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, such
Note and instructions to such effect forwarded by the Holder hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder
hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the
unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the
Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is specified on the face hereof to be a Discount Note, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note
in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price
specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any
redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2) any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date,
Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue Price and
100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.
9
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment
Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note
to be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding
period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest
Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that the maturity of this Note
will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial
Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire
compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will
be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the
preceding sentence.
The covenants set forth in Section 1004(a) and Section 1007 of the Indenture shall not apply to this Note, and
the following covenants shall instead apply to this Note in place of the covenants set forth in Section 1004(a) and
Section 1007 of the Indenture:
“The Trust will, and will cause the Subsidiaries to, have at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of
not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Trust’s outstanding Unsecured
Debt and the outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP.
The Trust will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving
effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Trust and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 65% of the sum of (without
duplication) (i) the Trust’s Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Trust’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently
filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate
assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received
(to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or
used to reduce Debt), by the Trust or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter,
including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.
‘Total Unencumbered Assets’ means the sum of, without duplication, those Undepreciated Real
Estate Assets which are not subject to a lien securing Debt and all other assets, excluding accounts
receivable and intangibles, of the Trust and the Subsidiaries not subject to a lien securing Debt, all
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that all
investments by the Trust and the Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated
limited partnerships, unconsolidated limited liability
10
companies and other unconsolidated entities shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to
the extent that such investments would have otherwise been included.”
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may, and in certain cases shall,
be accelerated in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain
covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt
Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the
Holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver
by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note
and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this
Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Notes having the same terms and provisions, of Authorized Denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued by the Company to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different Authorized Denominations but otherwise
having the same terms and provisions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the same.
11
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary, except as required
by law.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.

ADDENDUM TO MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Fixed Rate)
The Company may redeem all or part of this Note at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (1) the principal amount of this Note being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date
or (2) the Make-Whole Amount for the principal amount of this Note being redeemed. If this Note is redeemed on or
after August 1, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the redemption price will equal the
principal amount of this Note being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
“Make-Whole Amount” means, as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, together with the scheduled payments of interest (exclusive of interest to
the redemption date) from the redemption date to the Par Call Date of this Note being redeemed, in each case
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Note being
redeemed to the redemption date.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the sum of (x) either (1) the yield for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue, under the heading that represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recent published statistical release designated “H.15” or any
successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
“Treasury Constant Maturities” (provided, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of
this Note, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line
basis, rounded to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week
preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date,
in each case calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date, and (y) 0.250%.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note (assuming, for this purpose, that this Note matured on
the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice,
in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Note (assuming,
for this purpose, that this Note matured on the Par Call Date).
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (x) the average of three Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained, or (y) if fewer than five Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations are so obtained, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the indenture trustee after consultation
with the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Jefferies LLC, a

recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer and
their respective successors and assigns.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the indenture trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the indenture
trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such
redemption date.

to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any
overdue principal, premium and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at the Interest Rate per annum specified
above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Company will pay interest in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided,
however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest payment will commence on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the next
succeeding Record Date to the registered holder (the “Holder”) of this Note on the next succeeding Record
Date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder and to the Trustee and their
successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under the Indenture whether for principal of or
interest on the Notes (and premium and Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under the Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within the applicable grace
periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes (all such obligations guaranteed
hereby by the Operating Partnership being the “Guarantee”). The Holder of this Note may enforce its rights under the
Guarantee directly against the Operating Partnership without first making a demand or taking action against the
Company or any other person or entity. The Operating Partnership may, without the consent of the Holder of this Note,
assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Note and, upon such assumption, the Company will be
released from its liabilities under the Indenture and this Note.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes, as defined on the reverse hereof) is registered at the close of business on the
January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date (the “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person
to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date
3
(“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the close of business on any Record Date
and, instead, shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special
record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee
hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar
days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully
provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be
made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, upon delivery of instructions as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the office or agency
maintained by the Company for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently the
corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 40 Broad Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10004, or at such other
paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; provided,
however, that if the Specified Currency (as defined below) is other than United States dollars and such payment is to
be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder hereof at least 15
calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note is
presented and surrendered and, if applicable, instructions are delivered at the aforementioned office or agency
maintained by the Company in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal
procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made at the
aforementioned office or agency maintained by the Company or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the
address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee;
provided, however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars,
the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having
identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date
by wire transfer of immediately available funds if such Holder has delivered appropriate wire transfer instructions in
writing to the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date
of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday
nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York; provided, however, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, such day must
also not be a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close
in the
4
Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified
Currency is Euro, such day must also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement
Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open). “Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country
issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars,
Euros, South African rands and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” shall be The City of New York, Sydney,
Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in
the currency in which this Note is denominated above (or, if such currency is not at the time of such payment legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency or, if such currency is Euro, in
the member states of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, then the currency which is at the
time of such payment legal tender in the related country or in the adopting member states of the European Union, as the
case may be) (the “Specified Currency”). If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, except as
otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate
Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.
Any United States dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the
Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on
such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes scheduled to
receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency
exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid
quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in respect of this Note in the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The
City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as
the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of
facsimile transmission. The Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in
the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, and need not file a separate
election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice delivered to the Trustee,
but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or
at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the Holder of this Note shall have duly made
an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal,
5
premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, but the Specified Currency is
not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the
Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States
dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the
second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Specified Currency other than
United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified
Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. Any payment made in United States dollars under such circumstances shall not constitute an Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Holder of any Note against any loss incurred by such Holder as a result
of any judgment or order being given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment
or order requiring payment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the Specified Currency, and as a result
of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the
Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Holder, on
the date of payment of such judgment or order, is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the
Judgment Currency actually received by such Holder, as the case may be. The foregoing indemnity constitutes a
separate and independent obligation of the Company and continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so
specified on the face hereof, in an Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if
set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or “Other/Additional Provisions” apply to
this Note as specified above, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such
“Other/Additional Provisions”.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
UDR, INC.
MEDIUM‑‑TERM NOTE, SERIES A
DUE NINE MONTHS OR MORE FROM DATE OF ISSUE, FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED
BY UNITED DOMINION REALTY, L.P.
(Fixed Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities (the “Debt Securities”) of the Company issued
and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995, as supplemented by the first supplemental
indenture thereto, dated as of May 3, 2011, as further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
“Indenture”), between the Company (successor by merger to United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Virginia
corporation) and U.S. Bank National Association, successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association (formerly
known as First Union National Bank of Virginia), as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as “Medium-Term Notes,
Series A Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue, Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by United Dominion
Realty, L.P.” (the “Notes”). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an Addendum hereto shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case may be.
United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder and to the Trustee and their
successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under the Indenture whether for principal of or
interest on the Notes (and premium and Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under the Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within the applicable grace
periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes (all such obligations guaranteed
hereby by the Operating Partnership being the “Guarantee”). The Holder of this Note may enforce its rights under the
Guarantee directly against the Operating Partnership without first making a demand or taking action against the
Company or any other person or entity. The Operating Partnership may, without the consent of the Holder of this Note,
assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Note and, upon such assumption, the Company will be
released from its liabilities under the Indenture and this Note.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S. $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof or other Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
8
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof in
accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated
Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial
Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.
$1,000 or other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such other minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined
below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on
written notice given to the Holder hereof (in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 60 nor less
than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Price” shall be an amount equal to the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if
any, specified on the face hereof) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial
Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be
redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion
hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of
the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof on the Optional
Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or other
integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least
U.S. $1,000 or such other minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid
principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (the
“Repayment Date”). For this Note to be repaid, the Trustee must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, such
Note and instructions to such effect forwarded by the Holder hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder
hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the
unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the
Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is specified on the face hereof to be a Discount Note, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note
in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price
specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any
redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2) any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date,
Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue Price and
100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.
9
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment
Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note
to be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding
period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest
Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that the maturity of this Note
will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial
Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire
compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will
be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the
preceding sentence.
The covenants set forth in Section 1004(a) and Section 1007 of the Indenture shall not apply to this Note, and
the following covenants shall instead apply to this Note in place of the covenants set forth in Section 1004(a) and
Section 1007 of the Indenture:
“The Trust will, and will cause the Subsidiaries to, have at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of
not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Trust’s outstanding Unsecured
Debt and the outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP.
The Trust will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving
effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Trust and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 65% of the sum of (without
duplication) (i) the Trust’s Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Trust’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently
filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate
assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received
(to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or
used to reduce Debt), by the Trust or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter,
including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.
‘Total Unencumbered Assets’ means the sum of, without duplication, those Undepreciated Real
Estate Assets which are not subject to a lien securing Debt and all other assets, excluding accounts
receivable and intangibles, of the Trust and the Subsidiaries not subject to a lien securing Debt, all
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that all
investments by the Trust and the Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated
limited partnerships, unconsolidated limited liability
10
companies and other unconsolidated entities shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to
the extent that such investments would have otherwise been included.”
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may, and in certain cases shall,
be accelerated in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain
covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt
Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the
Holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver
by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note
and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this
Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Notes having the same terms and provisions, of Authorized Denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued by the Company to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different Authorized Denominations but otherwise
having the same terms and provisions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the same.
11
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary, except as required
by law.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.

ADDENDUM TO MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Fixed Rate)
The Company may redeem all or part of this Note at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (1) the principal amount of this Note being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date
or (2) the Make-Whole Amount for the principal amount of this Note being redeemed. If this Note is redeemed on or
after October 15, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the redemption price will equal
the principal amount of this Note being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
“Make-Whole Amount” means, as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, together with the scheduled payments of interest (exclusive of interest to
the redemption date) from the redemption date to the Par Call Date of this Note being redeemed, in each case
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Note being
redeemed to the redemption date.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the sum of (x) either (1) the yield for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue, under the heading that represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recent published statistical release designated “H.15” or any
successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
“Treasury Constant Maturities” (provided, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of
this Note, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line
basis, rounded to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week
preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue

in each case calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date, and (y) 0.200%.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note (assuming, for this purpose, that this Note matured on
the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice,
in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Note (assuming,
for this purpose, that this Note matured on the Par Call Date).
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (x) the average of three Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained, or (y) if fewer than five Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations are so obtained, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the indenture trustee after consultation
with the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and three
other nationally recognized investment banking firms selected by the Company that are primary U.S. Government
securities dealers and their respective successors and assigns.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the indenture trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the indenture
trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such
redemption date.

preferred stock, without par value, and 300,000,000 shares of excess stock, par value $0.01 per share. We have one class of common stock. All of
the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. All holders of our common stock are entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as described below.
Voting Rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to our stockholders on
which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote and do not have cumulative voting rights. In any uncontested election of directors,
directors will be elected by a majority of total votes cast for and against such director nominees. In any contested election, directors will be elected
by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election.
Dividends. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of
directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.
Liquidation and Dissolution. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably
all assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any
outstanding preferred stock.
Limitations on Rights of Holders of Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to
and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Set forth below is a description of our authority to issue preferred stock and the possible terms of that stock.
Our charter authorizes our board of directors, without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the designations, terms, and relative rights and preferences, including the dividend rate, voting
rights, conversion rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions and liquidation preferences of each of these series. As of December 31, 2019, we
had designated 2,803,812 shares of preferred stock as Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 2,780,994 shares were
outstanding, and designated 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series F Preferred Stock, of which 14,691,274 shares were outstanding. We
may amend our charter from time to time to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.
The particular terms of any series of preferred stock that we offer may include:
1
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
the title and liquidation preference per share of the preferred stock and the number of shares offered;
the purchase price of the preferred stock;
the dividend rate (or method of calculation), the dates on which dividends will be payable, whether dividends shall be
cumulative and, if so, the date from which dividends will begin to accumulate;
any redemption or sinking fund provisions of the preferred stock;
any conversion, redemption or exchange provisions of the preferred stock;
the voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock; and
any additional dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and
restrictions of the preferred stock.
Other Rights. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer. Our charter contains ownership and transfer restrictions relating to our stock that are designed
primarily to preserve our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal
Revenue Code”). These restrictions include but are not limited to the following:
·
·
·
·
no person may beneficially own or constructively own shares of our outstanding “equity stock” (defined as stock that is either
common stock or preferred stock) with a value in excess of 9.9% of the value of all outstanding equity stock unless our board of
directors exempts the person from such ownership limitation, provided that any such exemption shall not allow the person to exceed
13% of the value of our outstanding equity stock;
any transfer that, if effective, would result in any person beneficially owning or constructively owning equity stock with a value in
excess of 9.9% of the value of all outstanding equity stock (or such higher value not to exceed 13% as determined pursuant to an
exemption from our board of directors) shall be void as to the transfer of that number of shares of equity stock which would
otherwise be beneficially owned or constructively owned by such person in excess of such ownership limit; and the intended
transferee shall acquire no rights in such excess shares of equity stock;
except as provided in the charter, any transfer that, if effective, would result in the equity stock being beneficially owned by fewer
than 100 persons shall be void as to the transfer of that number of shares which would be otherwise beneficially owned or
constructively owned by the transferee; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such excess shares of equity stock; and
any transfer of shares of equity stock that, if effective, would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h)
of the Internal Revenue Code shall be void as to the transfer of that number of shares of equity stock which would cause us to be
“closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights
in such excess shares of equity stock.
Listing. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “UDR.”

Anti-takeover Effects of Our Bylaws and Maryland Law
Our bylaws and Maryland law contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from
acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate
takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of
directors.
Bylaws. Our bylaws establish an advance written notice procedure for stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as
directors at any annual meeting of stockholders and to bring business before an annual meeting of our stockholders. Our bylaws provide that only
persons who are nominated by our board of directors or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice to our secretary before the meeting
to elect directors will be eligible for election as our directors. Our bylaws also provide that any matter to be presented at any meeting of
stockholders must be presented either by our board of directors or by a stockholder in compliance with the procedures in our bylaws. A
stockholder must give timely written notice to our secretary of its intention to present a matter before an annual meeting of stockholders. Our
board of directors then will consider whether the matter is one that is appropriate for consideration by our stockholders under the Maryland
General Corporation Law and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules. Our bylaws also include a provision which permits a stockholder,
or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate
and include in our proxy materials director candidates constituting up to 20% of the board of directors, provided that the stockholder(s) and the
nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the bylaws.
Certain Maryland Law Provisions. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to certain restrictions concerning certain “business
combinations” (including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of
equity securities) between us and an “interested stockholder.” Interested stockholders are persons: (i) who beneficially own 10% or more of the
voting power of our outstanding voting stock, or (ii) who are affiliates or associates of us who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the
date in question, were the beneficial owners of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding stock. Such business combinations are
prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any such
business combination must be recommended by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least: (i) 80% of the votes entitled
to be cast by holders of the outstanding voting shares voting together as a single voting group, and (ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by
holders of the outstanding voting shares other than voting shares held by the interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of the interested
stockholder with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things, the corporation’s stockholders receive a minimum
price for their shares and the consideration is received in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the
interested stockholder for its shares. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or
exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.
Also under Maryland law, “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights
except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer or by
officers or directors who are employees of the corporation. “Control shares” are shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock
owned by the acquirer or shares of stock for which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power except solely by virtue of
a revocable proxy, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
·
·
·
one-tenth or more but less than one-third,
one-third or more but less than a majority, or
a majority or more of all voting power.
3
Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder
approval. A “control share acquisition” means, subject to certain exceptions, the acquisition of, ownership of or the power to direct the exercise of
voting power with respect to, control shares.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a
party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision
exempting from the control share acquisition statute any acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock.
Under Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation that has a class of equity securities registered
under the Exchange Act and that has at least three directors who are not officers or employees of the corporation, are not acquiring persons, are not
directors, officers, affiliates or associates of any acquiring person, or are not nominated or designated as a director by an acquiring person, may
elect in its charter or bylaws or by resolution of its board of directors to be subject to certain provisions of Subtitle 8 that may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the corporation. These provisions relate to a classified board of directors, removal of directors,
establishing the number of directors, filling vacancies on the board of directors and calling special meetings of the corporation’s stockholders. We
have not made the election to be governed by these provisions of Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law. However, our charter and
our bylaws permit our board of directors to determine the number of directors subject to a minimum number and other provisions contained in
such documents.

then subject to this Agreement shall be increased proportionately. In the event the Stock shall be changed into or
exchanged for a different number or class of shares of stock or securities of the Company or of another corporation,
whether through reorganization, re-capitalization, reclassification, share exchange, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, there shall be substituted for each such share of Stock then subject to this Agreement

made such other equitable adjustment as the Committee shall approve.

Stop Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this

10.
Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Restricted Shares
that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) to treat as

becomes includable in the Grantee's gross income for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company,
or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state and
local taxes of any kind required or permitted by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Grantee may satisfy such payment by permitting the Company to reduce the
number of Shares issued. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on
such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its Subsidiaries will, to the
extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind
otherwise due to the Grantee.

Determinations by Committee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all determinations, interpretations
and assumptions relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, determinations, interpretations and
assumptions with respect to the Company’s
3
_________ Metric, ___________ Metric, ____________ Metric and ________________ Metric) shall be made by the
Committee and shall be applied consistently and uniformly to all similar Awards granted under the Plan (including, without
limitation, similar awards which provide for payment in the form of cash or shares of Stock). In making such
determinations, the Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons, and
the Committee, the Board, the Company, the Partnership and their officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the
advice, opinions or the valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by
the Committee in good faith and absent manifest error shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all
other interested persons. In addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the methodology for
calculations relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, the methodology for calculating the
Company’s _________ Metric, __________ Metric, __________ Metric and _____________ Metric), other than the
___________ Metric Performance Vesting Percentage, the _______________ Performance Vesting Percentage, the
_____________ Metric Performance Vesting Percentage and the ______________ Metric Performance Vesting Percentage,
as necessary or desirable to account for events affecting the value of the Stock or Company __________ which, in the
discretion of the Committee, are not considered indicative of Company performance, which may include events such as the
issuance of new stock, stock repurchases, stock splits, issuances and/or exercises of stock grants or stock options, and
similar events, all in order to properly reflect the Company’s intent with respect to the performance objectives underlying
the Award or to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with
respect to the Award.
7.
Covenants, Representations and Warranties. The Grantee hereby represents, warrants, covenants,
acknowledges and agrees on behalf of the Grantee and his or her spouse, if applicable, that:
(a)
Investment. The Grantee is holding the Class 2 LTIP Units for the Grantee’s own account, and not
for the account of any other person or entity. The Grantee is holding the Class 2 LTIP Units for investment and not with a
view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.
(b)
Relation to the Partnership. The Grantee is presently an executive officer of the Company,
which is the sole general partner of the Partnership, or is otherwise providing services to or for the benefit of the
Partnership, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Partnership.
(c)
Access to Information. The Grantee has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, the Partnership with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and
with respect to the business, affairs, financial conditions, and results of operations of the Partnership.
(d)
Registration. The Grantee understands that the Class 2 LTIP Units have not been registered
under the 1933 Act, and the Class 2 LTIP Units cannot be transferred by the Grantee unless such transfer is registered under
the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or
undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the Class 2 LTIP Units under the 1933 Act. The Partnership has made
no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the 1933 Act,
4
including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the
1933 Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six (6)
months after the grant of the Class 2 LTIP Units and then not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been
satisfied.
(e)
Public Trading. None of the Partnership’s securities are presently publicly traded, and the
Partnership has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its
securities.
(f)
Tax Advice. The Partnership has made no warranties or representations to the Grantee with
respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), and the Grantee is in no
manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. Grantee hereby
recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may
affect the proper treatment of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes. In the event that those proposed regulations
or similar regulations become final or temporary regulations, the Grantee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Partnership in
amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required, to conform to
such regulations. Grantee hereby further recognizes that the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would change the
federal tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of LTIP Units. The Grantee is advised to consult with his or
her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the Class 2 LTIP Units.
8.
Capital Account. The Grantee shall make no contribution of capital to the Partnership in connection with the
issuance of the Class 2 LTIP Units and, as a result, the Grantee’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership immediately
after his or her receipt of the Class 2 LTIP Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Grantee was a Partner in the Partnership
prior to such issuance, in which case the Grantee’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of his or her
receipt of the Class 2 LTIP Units.
9.
Restrictions on Public Sale by the Grantee. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the Grantee
agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the Class 2 LTIP Units or any similar security of the Company or the
Partnership, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, during the fourteen (14) days prior to, and for a period of up to 180-days beginning on, the
date of the pricing of any public or private debt or equity securities offering by the Company or the Partnership (except as
part of such offering), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Partnership or the Company in the case of a non-
underwritten public or private offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or
underwriters (or initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be) and consented to by the Partnership or the
Company, which consent may be given or withheld in the Partnership’s or the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, in
the case of an underwritten public or private offering (such agreement to be in the form of a lock-up agreement provided by
the Company, the Partnership, managing underwriter or underwriters, or initial purchaser or purchasers as the case may be).
5
10. Conformity to Securities Laws. The Grantee acknowledges that the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement are
intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations
(including, but not limited to, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including without limitation the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule
16b-3 of the 1934 Act) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or other governmental authority as may, in the
opinion of counsel for the Partnership or the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the award of Class 2 LTIP Units is made, only in such a
manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, this
Agreement and this award of Class 2 LTIP Units shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws,
rules and regulations.
11. Taxes.
(a) Tax Liability. The Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by the Grantee in
connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company or any Related Entity takes with respect to any tax
withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any
representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with any aspect of the Award,
including the grant, vesting, assignment, release or cancellation of the Class 2 LTIP Units, the subsequent sale of any Class
2 LTIP Units and the receipt of any Partnership distributions. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to
structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s tax liability. For purposes of this Award, “Related Entity” shall
mean a Parent or Subsidiary.
(b) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Award that the Company
determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state, local or non-U.S., including
any social insurance, employment tax, payment on account or other tax-related obligation (the “Tax Withholding
Obligation”), the Grantee must arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in
a manner acceptable to the Company.
(c) Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee covenants that the Grantee shall make a timely election under
Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable election in the state of the Grantee’s residence) with respect to the Class 2
LTIP Units, and the Partnership hereby consents to the making of such election(s). In connection with such election, the
Grantee and the Grantee’s spouse, if applicable, shall promptly provide a copy of such election to the Partnership. A form
of election under Section 83(b) of the Code is attached hereto as Appendix B. The Grantee represents that the Grantee has
consulted any tax advisor(s) that the Grantee deems advisable in connection with the filing of an election under Section
83(b) of the Code and similar state tax provisions. The Grantee acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s sole responsibility and
not the Company’s or the Partnership’s to timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable state
election), even if the Grantee requests that the Company, the Partnership or any representative thereof make such filing on
the Grantee’s behalf. The Grantee should consult his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file
in the state of his or her residence.
12. Profits Interests. The Partnership and the Grantee intend that (i) the Class 2 LTIP Units be treated as “profits
interests” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as
6
clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (ii) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Partnership or the
Grantee as provided in such revenue procedures, and (iii) the Partnership Agreement, the Plan, the Notice and this
Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the
issuance of the Class 2 LTIP Units, the Partnership may revalue all Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market
values, and make the resulting adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners, in each case, as set forth in the
Partnership Agreement.
13. Ownership Information. The Grantee hereby covenants that so long as the Grantee holds any Class 2 LTIP
Units, at the request of the Partnership, the Grantee shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to
the Grantee’s ownership of the Class 2 LTIP Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to
ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
14. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan, the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all
prior undertakings and agreements of the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company,
the Partnership and the Grantee. These agreements are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal
laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Maryland to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any
provision of the Notice or this Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall
nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
15. Construction. The captions used in the Notice and this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be
deemed a part of the Award for construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular
shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
16. Administration and Interpretation. Any question or dispute regarding the administration or interpretation of the
Notice, the Plan, the Partnership Agreement or this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee, the Partnership or the
Company to the Committee. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on all
persons.
17. Venue and Jurisdiction. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to the
Notice, the Plan, the Partnership Agreement or this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the United States District
Court for Colorado (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a Colorado state court)
and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 17 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the
specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its
application valid and enforceable.
7
18. Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of the Notice and this
Agreement, and the Notice and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the
event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of the Notice and this
Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.
19. Successors. The Notice and this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company or the
Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.
20. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in the Notice or this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Notice and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.
21. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or
upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees
prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may
designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
22. Amendment. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Agreement without approval of the
Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Grantee’s consent,
reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested on the date of such amendment or
termination.
23. Amendment and Delay to Meet the Requirements of Section 409A. The Grantee acknowledges that the
Company, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without the consent of the Grantee, may amend or modify this
Agreement in any manner to the minimum extent necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as
amplified by any Treasury regulations or guidance from the Internal Revenue Service as the Company deems appropriate or
advisable. In addition, the Company makes no representation that the Award will comply with Section 409A of the Code
and makes no undertaking to prevent Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Award or to mitigate its effects on any
deferrals or payments made in respect of the Units. The Grantee is encouraged to consult a tax adviser regarding the
potential impact of Section 409A of the Code.
