GUARANTY

MULTISTATE

(Revised 10-11-2017)

THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is entered into to be effective as of December 29, 2017, by STEADFAST APARTMENT REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”, collectively if more than one), for the benefit of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Lender”).

RECITALS

		
	A.
	Pursuant to the terms of a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement dated the same date as this Guaranty (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), STAR DELANO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $30,011,000.00 (“Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by one or more Multifamily Note(s) from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and collectively if applicable, the “Note”). The Note will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Deed to Secure Debt dated effective as of the effective date of the Note (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Instrument”), encumbering the Mortgaged Property described in the Loan Agreement. 

		
	B.
	As a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that Guarantor execute this Guaranty. 

		
	C.
	Guarantor has a direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Borrower and/or will otherwise derive a material benefit from the making of the Loan.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:

		
	1.
	Defined Terms. The terms “Indebtedness”, “Loan Documents”, and “Property Jurisdiction”, and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty, will have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.

		
	2.
	Scope of Guaranty.

		
	(a)
	Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender each of the following:

		
	(i)
	Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of each of the following: 

	
			
	Guaranty - Multistate
	 
	 

		
	(A)
	Guarantor guarantees a portion of the Indebtedness (including interest at the Note rate) equal to 0.00% of the original principal balance of the Note (“Base Guaranty”). 

		
	(B)
	In addition to the Base Guaranty, Guarantor guarantees all other amounts for which Borrower is personally liable under Sections 9(c), 9(d) and 9(f) of the Note (provided, however, that Guarantor will have no liability for failure of Borrower or SPE Equity Owner to comply with (I) Section 6.13(a)(xviii) of the Loan Agreement, and (II) the requirement in Section 6.13(a)(x)(B) of the Loan Agreement as to payment of trade payables within 60 days of the date incurred). 

		
	(C)
	Guarantor guarantees all costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.

		
	(ii)
	Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of, and compliance with, all of Borrower’s obligations under Sections 6.12, 10.02(b) and 10.02(d) of the Loan Agreement when due and the accuracy of Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement.

		
	(iii)
	Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of, and compliance with, Borrower’s obligations under Section 6.09(e)(v) of the Loan Agreement to the extent Property Improvement Alterations have commenced and remain uncompleted.

		
	(iv)
	through (vi) Reserved.

		
	(b)
	If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is 100% of the original principal balance of the Note, then the following will be applicable:

		
	(i)
	The Base Guaranty will mean and include, and Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender, the full and complete prompt payment of the entire Indebtedness, the performance of and/or compliance with all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents when due, and the accuracy of Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents.

		
	(ii)
	For so long as the Base Guaranty remains in effect (there being no limit to the duration of the Base Guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty), the obligations guaranteed pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i)(B) and 2(a)(i)(C) will be part of, and not in addition to or in limitation of, the Base Guaranty.

		
	(c)
	If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is less than 100% of the original principal balance of the Note, then Section 2(b) will be completely inapplicable.

	Page 2

		
	(d)
	If Guarantor is not liable for the entire Indebtedness, then all payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except this Guaranty) will be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which neither Borrower nor Guarantor has personal liability. 

3.        Additional Guaranty Relating to Bankruptcy. 
 
		
	(a)
	Notwithstanding any limitation on liability provided for elsewhere in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the entire Indebtedness, in the event that:

		
	(i)
	Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Code. 

		
	(ii)
	Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights. 

		
	(iii)
	The Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property becomes an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or becomes subject to any voluntary reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar voluntary proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights.

		
	(iv)
	An order of relief is entered against Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or joined in by a Related Party.

		
	(v)
	An involuntary bankruptcy or other involuntary insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner (by a party other than Lender) but only if Borrower or such SPE Equity Owner has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to dismiss such proceeding or has consented to such proceeding. “Commercially reasonable efforts” will not require any direct or indirect interest holders in Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner to contribute or cause the contribution of additional capital to Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner.

		
	(b)
	For purposes of Section 3(a) the term “Related Party” will include all of the following:

(i)    Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

		
	(ii)
	Any Person that holds, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest (including any shareholder, member or partner) in Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner or any Person that has a right to manage Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

	
			
	Guaranty - Multistate
	 
	Page 3

		
	(iii)
	Any Person in which Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner has any ownership interest (direct or indirect) or right to manage.

		
	(iv)
	Any Person in which any partner, shareholder or member of Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner has an ownership interest or right to manage.

		
	(v)
	Any Person in which any Person holding an interest in Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner also has any ownership interest.

		
	(vi)
	Any creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower that is related by blood, marriage or adoption to Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

		
	(vii)
	Any creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower that is related to any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other Person holding an interest in, Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

		
	(c)
	If Borrower, any Guarantor, any SPE Equity Owner or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in Section 3(a), regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding will be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

		
	4.
	Guarantor’s Obligations Survive Foreclosure. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty will survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security Instrument, and, in addition, the obligations of Guarantor relating to Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement, and Borrower’s obligations under Sections 6.12 and 10.02(b) of the Loan Agreement will survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of or held title to the Mortgaged Property, Guarantor will have no obligation under this Guaranty relating to Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement or Borrower’s obligations relating to environmental matters under Sections 6.12 and 10.02(b) of the Loan Agreement after the date of the release of record of the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the payment in full of the Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

		
	5.
	Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

		
	6.
	No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty must be performed without demand by Lender and will be unconditional regardless of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all of the following:

	
			
	Guaranty - Multistate
	 
	Page 4

		
	(a)
	The benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations will not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor.

		
	(b)
	The benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to a guarantor, a surety, a borrower or a mortgagor, and any other rights of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor under such statutes or laws.

		
	(c)

	(d)
	All rights to cause a marshalling of the Borrower’s assets or to require Lender to do any of the following:

		
	(i)
	Proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower’s payment or performance under the Loan Documents (an “Other Guarantor”).

		
	(ii)
	Proceed against any general partner of Borrower or any Other Guarantor if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership.

		
	(iii)
	Proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness.

		
	(iv)
	Pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower. 

		
	(e)
	Any right to object to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender’s enforcement of its rights under any of the Loan Documents.

		
	(f)
	Any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future advances by Lender under the terms of the Loan Agreement to protect Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.

		
	7.
	Modification of Loan Documents. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, all of the following will apply:

(a)    Lender may extend the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness or renew the Indebtedness in whole or in part.

(b)    Lender may extend the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or entered into after the date of this Guaranty, or waive such performance or compliance.

	Page 5

(c)    Lender may accelerate the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness as provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

(d)    Lender and Borrower may modify or amend the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount.

(e)    Lender may modify, exchange, surrender or otherwise deal with any security for the Indebtedness or accept additional security that is pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness.

		
	8.
	Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of Guarantor (and each party named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty) and any Other Guarantor will be joint and several. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may take any of the following actions:

		
	(a)
	Lender may bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, and any Other Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them.

		
	(b)
	Lender may compromise or settle with Guarantor, any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper.

		
	(c)
	Lender may release one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, from liability.

		
	(d)
	Lender may otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner.

No action of Lender described in this Section 8 will affect or impair the rights of Lender to collect from any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor under this Guaranty any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty. 

		
	9.
	Limited Release of Guarantor Upon Transfer of Mortgaged Property.  If Guarantor requests a release of its liability under this Guaranty in connection with a Transfer which Lender has approved pursuant to Section 7.05(a) of the Loan Agreement, and Borrower has provided a replacement Guarantor acceptable to Lender, then one of the following will apply:

		
	(a)
	If Borrower delivers to Lender a Clean Site Assessment, then Lender will release Guarantor from all of Guarantor’s obligations except Guarantor’s obligation to guaranty Borrower’s liability under Section 6.12 (Environmental Hazards) or Section 10.02(b) (Environmental Indemnification) of the Loan Agreement with respect to any loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense which directly or indirectly arises from or relates to any Prohibited Activities or Conditions existing prior to the date of the Transfer. 

		
	(b)
	If Borrower does not deliver a Clean Site Assessment as described in Section 7.05(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement, then Lender will release Guarantor from all of Guarantor’s obligations except for Guarantor’s obligation to guaranty Borrower’s liability under Section 6.12 (Environmental Hazards) or Section 10.02(b) (Environmental Indemnification) of the Loan Agreement.

	10.
	Subordination of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Guarantor. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and will be subordinated to the Indebtedness and Guarantor will collect, enforce and receive any such indebtedness of Borrower as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

		
	11.
	Waiver of Subrogation. Guarantor will have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code. 

		
	12.
	Preference. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund will not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty will not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

		
	13.
	Financial Information and Litigation. Guarantor will deliver each of the following to Lender within 10 Business Days following a Notice from Lender requesting such information:

		
	(a)
	Guarantor’s balance sheet and profit and loss statement as of the end of (A) the quarter that ended at least 30 days prior to the due date of the requested items, and/or (B) the fiscal year that ended at least 90 days prior to the due date of the requested items.

		
	(b)
	Other Guarantor financial statements as Lender may reasonably require.

		
	(c)
	Written updates on the status of all litigation proceedings that Guarantor disclosed or should have disclosed to Lender as of the date of this Guaranty. 

		
	(d)
	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, copies of Guarantor’s most recent filed state and federal tax returns, including any current tax return extensions.

		
	14.
	Assignment. Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty will inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. The terms used to designate any of the parties in this Guaranty will be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties, and the term “Lender” will also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of the Note.

	15.
	Complete and Final Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has received a copy of the Note and all other Loan Documents. Neither this Guaranty nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that writing.

		
	16.
	Governing Law. This Guaranty will be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, without giving effect to the choice of law principles of the Property Jurisdiction that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Property Jurisdiction. 

		
	17.
	Jurisdiction; Venue. Guarantor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Guaranty may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction, and that the state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies which may arise under or in relation to this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Guaranty is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Guaranty against Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets in any court of any other jurisdiction. 

		
	18.
	Guarantor’s Interest in Borrower. Guarantor represents to Lender that Guarantor has a direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Borrower and/or will otherwise derive a material financial benefit from the making of the Loan.

	(c)
	Guarantor must ensure the Term Extension Letter of Credit remains in force until the Loan is paid in full.

	(d)
	Lender will hold the Term Extension Letter of Credit or, if Lender has previously drawn on the Term Existence Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 22(c), the proceeds of the Term Extension Letter of Credit, until the first to occur of the following:

	(A)
	If Lender has previously drawn on the Term Extension Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 22(c), then Lender may apply the proceeds of such draw to fully or partially satisfy the claim. 

If the amount of the claim exceeds the amount of the Term Extension Letter of Credit, Guarantor will remain liable to Lender for the remainder of the claim.

		
	(ii)
	The Loan is paid in full. 

		
	(e)
	The requirement to provide a Term Extension Letter of Credit is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any requirement to provide a Letter of Credit pursuant to the Minimum Net Worth/Liquidity Rider to Guaranty (if applicable) or any other Letter of Credit required under the terms of the Loan Documents.

		
	(f)
	If Guarantor fails to exercise one of the Guarantor Expiration Alternatives at least 6 months prior to the expiration of the Term (“Term Expiration Date”), Guarantor must deliver to Lender monthly financial statements (each a “Guarantor Financial Statement”) in the form required under Section 6.07(f) of the Loan Agreement.

If a Guarantor Financial Statement indicates that Guarantor’s net worth or liquidity is unacceptable to Lender, upon Notice from Lender, Guarantor must immediately exercise one of the Guarantor Expiration Alternatives.

		
	(ii)
	Guarantor must exercise one of the Guarantor Expiration Alternatives prior to the Term Expiration Date.

	Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Floating Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.  

	
			
	Multifamily Note
	 
	Page  3

	Floating Rate
	 
	 

		
	(b)
	Interest under this Note will be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the applicable Floating Interest Rate, dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months). However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

		
	(c)
	Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month will be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest-only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears. 

		
	(d)
	(i)    Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the Installment Due Date immediately prior to the First Principal and Interest Installment Due Date, accrued interest-only will be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of interest-only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) on an Installment Due Date will equal the product of (A) annual interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date at the Floating Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, divided by 360, multiplied by (B) the number of days in such Interest Adjustment Period.  

		
	(ii)
	Beginning on the First Principal and Interest Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest will be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(ii) on an Installment Due Date will be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date was to be fully amortized, together with interest thereon at the Floating Interest Rate in effect for such Interest

Adjustment Period, in equal consecutive monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over the Remaining Amortization Period.

		
	(e)
	Reserved.

		
	(f)
	Reserved.

		
	(g)
	Reserved.

		
	(h)
	All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, will be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date.     

		
	(i)
	Lender will provide Borrower with Notice, given in the manner specified in the Loan Agreement, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note. However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior Notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower will pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received Notice. If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Floating Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender will give Notice to Borrower of such determination. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Notice from Lender, will pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment will be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment will be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender).

		
	(j)
	All payments under this Note must be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

		
	(k)
	Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due will be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

		
	(l)
	Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” will refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents will bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and will be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.    

		
	(m)
	In accordance with Section 16, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Floating Interest Rate at any time exceeds the 

	
			
	Multifamily Note
	 
	Page  5

	Floating Rate
	 
	 

Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Floating Interest Rate will not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Floating Interest Rate at all times been in effect.     

		
	(n)
	Reserved.

		
	4.
	Application of Partial Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

		
	5.
	Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement for other rights with respect to collateral for the Indebtedness.

		
	6.
	Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, will at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior Notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender will calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender will recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

		
	7.
	Late Charge.

		
	(a)
	If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender within 10 days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period will be substituted), Borrower must pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to 5% of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount will be substituted). If the Loan is not fully amortizing, the late charge will not be due on the final payment of principal owed on the Maturity Date if such payment is not timely made.

		
	(b)
	Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. 

	
			
	Multifamily Note
	 
	Page  6

	Floating Rate
	 
	 

The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.  

		
	8.
	Default Rate.  

		
	(a)
	So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note will accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.  

		
	(b)
	From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance will continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.  

		
	(c)
	Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and (iii) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

		
	9.
	Limits on Personal Liability. 

		
	(a)
	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, none of Borrower, SPE Equity Owner, or any member or limited partner of Borrower will have any personal liability under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of or compliance with any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender’s only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations will be Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower’s liability will not limit or impair Lender’s enforcement of its rights against any Guarantor of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower.

		
	(b)
	Borrower will be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base Recourse, plus any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9.

	(ii)
	Borrower fails to apply all Insurance proceeds and Condemnation proceeds as required by the Loan Agreement.

	(vii)
	Any creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower that is related to any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other Person holding an interest in, Borrower, any Guarantor, or any SPE Equity Owner.

		
	(h)
	If Borrower, any Guarantor, any SPE Equity Owner, or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in Section 9(f), regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding will be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

		
	(i)
	To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any Guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower’s personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability.

		
	10.
	Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.  

		
	(a)
	Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note. 

		
	(b)
	Borrower may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period, if a Lockout Period is applicable to this Note. However, if any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to 5% of the amount of principal being prepaid.

		
	(c)
	Following the end of the Lockout Period, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, (A) the term “Installment Due Date” will mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date and (B) the calculation of any required prepayment premium will be made as if the prepayment had actually been made on the scheduled Installment Due Date.

	(d)
	Notwithstanding Section 10(c), Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in Section 10(c) and meets the other requirements set forth in this Section 10(d). Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender will deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower must pay to Lender all interest and any required prepayment premium that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

		
	(e)
	Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(f). 

		
	(f)
	Except as provided in Section 10(g), a prepayment premium will be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium will be 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid for any prepayments occurring during the Prepayment Premium Period but after the Lockout Period (if applicable). 

		
	(g)
	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium will be payable with respect to any of the following:

		
	(i) 
	Any prepayment made during the Window Period.

		
	(ii) 
	Any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any Insurance proceeds or Condemnation award.

		
	(iii) 
	Any prepayment required under the terms of the Loan Agreement in connection with a Condemnation proceeding.

		
	(iv) 
	Any prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note that occurs on or after the 12th Installment Due Date under this Note with the proceeds of a fixed interest rate mortgage loan to the existing Borrower, which will be used to refinance this Loan and that is the subject of a binding commitment for purchase between Freddie Mac and a Freddie Mac Multifamily Approved Seller/Servicer.

		
	(h)
	Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note will not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments. 

		
	(i)
	Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default 

	
			
	Multifamily Note

	Floating Rate
	 
	 

by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions.

	Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower must pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with each request by Borrower under this Note or any Loan Document, Borrower must pay all reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including any fees charged by the Rating Agencies (if applicable), regardless of whether the matter is approved, denied or withdrawn.

		
	14.
	Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, will not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note will not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 

		
	15.
	Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and Guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness.

	16.
	Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents will be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance, or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts will be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.  

		
	17.
	Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

		
	18.
	Counting of Days. Any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days, except where otherwise specifically provided.

		
	19.
	Governing Law. This Note will be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

		
	20.
	Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and will be disregarded in construing this Note.

		
	21.
	Notices; Written Modifications.  

		
	(a)
	All Notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note will be given in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Loan Agreement.  

		
	(b)
	Any modification or amendment to this Note will be ineffective unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Loan Agreement that requires Lender’s consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender’s consent.

		
	22.
	Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies that will arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence, or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action, or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction.

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (a) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (b) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
