	3.
	Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession.

		
	(a)
	As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Rents. 

		
	(i)
	It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. 

		
	(ii)
	Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for 

Oklahoma 
Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents                            Page 6
and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

additional security only. 

		
	(iii)
	For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents will not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Rents will be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a Lien on Rents in favor of Lender, which Lien will be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

		
	(b)
	(i)    Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender and to apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Reserve Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. 

		
	(ii)
	So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument.

		
	(iii)
	After the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents will automatically terminate and Lender will without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled. 

		
	(iv)
	At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender. No tenant will be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default. No tenant will be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender will be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower will not interfere with and will cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.  

		
	(c)
	Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it has not executed any prior assignment of Rents (other than an assignment of Rents securing any prior indebtedness that is being assigned to Lender, or paid off and discharged with the 

Oklahoma 
Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents                            Page 7
and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

proceeds of the Loan evidenced by the Note or, if this Instrument is entered into in connection with a Supplemental Loan, other than an assignment of Rents securing any Senior Indebtedness), that Borrower has not performed any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under any Loan Document, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there has been no prepayment of any Rents for more than 2 months prior to the due dates of such Rents.

		
	(d)
	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Lender will have each of the following rights and may take any of the following actions:

		
	(i)
	Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of Repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable. 

		
	(ii)
	Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to Borrower’s solvency and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law. 

		
	(iii)
	If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower hereby agrees that if a receiver is appointed, the order appointing the receiver may contain a provision requiring the receiver to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indebtedness is an obligation of Borrower and must be paid out of maintenance charges payable by Borrower’s tenant shareholders under their proprietary leases or occupancy agreements. 

		
	(iv)
	Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property. 

		
	(v)
	Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and will deliver to Lender or the receiver, 

Oklahoma 
Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents                            Page 8
and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

as the case may be, all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property and all security deposits and prepaid Rents. 

		
	(vi)
	If Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, then Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property. 

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 will not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

		
	(e)
	If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender will be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under Section 3(d), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

		
	(f)
	If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 7. 

		
	(g)
	Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument will not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

		
	4.
	Assignment of Leases; Leases Affecting the Mortgaged Property.

		
	(a)
	As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. 

		
	(i)
	It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. 

		
	(ii)
	For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases will not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. 

		
	(iii)
	However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases will be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a Lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which Lien will be 

Oklahoma 
Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents                            Page 9
and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

effective as of the date of this Instrument.

		
	(b)
	Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower will have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases will automatically terminate. Borrower will comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.

		
	(c)
	(i)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 will not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and the Improvements. 

		
	(ii)
	The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) will not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses. 

		
	(iii)
	Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person or Persons in or about the Mortgaged Property. 

		
	(iv)
	Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender will not be obligated for any of the following:

		
	(A) 
	Lender will not be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease). 

		
	(B) 
	Lender will not be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property. 

		
	(C) 
	Lender will not be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower will constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and will be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

		
	(d)
	Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, Lender immediately will have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and

authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

		
	(e)
	Borrower will, promptly upon Lender’s request, deliver to Lender an executed copy of each residential Lease then in effect. 

		
	(f)
	If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation or association, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Instrument, so long as Borrower remains a cooperative housing corporation or association and is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender consents to the following:

		
	(i)
	Borrower may execute leases of apartments for a term in excess of 2 years to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, so long as such leases, including proprietary leases, are and will remain subordinate to the Lien of this Instrument.

		
	(ii)
	Borrower may surrender or terminate such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly-executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of Borrower. However, no consent is given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terms that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

		
	5.
	Prepayment Premium. Borrower will be required to pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

		
	6.
	Application of 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, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

		
	7.
	Protection of Lender’s Security; Instrument Secures Future Advances.

		
	(a)
	If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including all of the following:

	Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 7, or under any other provision of this Instrument that treats such disbursement as being made under this Section 7, will be secured by this Instrument, will be added to, and become part of, the principal component of the Indebtedness, will be immediately due and payable and will bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the Default Rate.

		
	(c)
	Nothing in this Section 7 will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

		
	8.
	Events of Default. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement will constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument.

		
	9.
	Remedies Cumulative. Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law or equity, and each will be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively, in any order. Lender’s exercise of any particular right or remedy will not in any way prevent Lender from exercising any other right or remedy available to Lender. Lender may exercise any such remedies from time to time and as often as Lender chooses. 

		
	10.
	Waiver of Statute of Limitations, Offsets, and Counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the Lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument will be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments that Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

		
	11.
	Waiver of Marshalling. 

		
	(a)
	Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property will be subjected to the 

Oklahoma 
Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents                            Page 12
and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

remedies provided in this Instrument, the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. 

		
	(b)
	Borrower and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Instrument.

		
	12.
	Further Assurances; Lender’s Expenses. 

		
	(a)
	Borrower will deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements or amendments, transfers and assurances as Lender may require from time to time in order to better assure, grant and convey to Lender the rights intended to be granted, now or in the future, to Lender under this Instrument and the Loan Documents or in connection with Lender’s consent rights under Article VII of the Loan Agreement.

		
	(b)
	Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with each request by Borrower under this Instrument or any Loan Document, Borrower will pay all reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including any fees payable in accordance with any request for further assurances or an estoppel certificate pursuant to the Loan Agreement, regardless of whether the matter is approved, denied or withdrawn. Any amounts payable by Borrower under this Instrument or under any other Loan Document will be deemed a part of the Indebtedness, will be secured by this Instrument and will bear interest at the Default Rate if not fully paid within 10 days of written demand for payment.

		
	13.
	Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, will be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document 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 may arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness or any other Loan Document. 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 Section 13 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.

		
	14.
	Notice. All Notices, demands and other communications under or concerning this Instrument will be governed by the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement.

		
	15.
	Successors and Assigns Bound. This Instrument will bind the respective successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender, and the rights granted by this Instrument will inure to Lender’s successors and assigns.

and Security Agreement (CME and Portfolio)

		
	17.
	Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiary.

		
	(a)
	The relationship between Lender and Borrower will be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Instrument will create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. Nothing contained in this Instrument will constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower.

		
	(b)
	No creditor of any party to this Instrument and no other Person will be a third party beneficiary of this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) any arrangement (“Servicing Arrangement”) between Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds will constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower will not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

		
	18.
	Severability; Amendments. 

		
	(a)
	The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Instrument will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Instrument contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Instrument. 

		
	(b)
	This Instrument may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Article VII of the Loan Agreement, some or all of the modifications to the Loan Documents (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s).

		
	19.

If, and to the extent that, the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note, or subsequent advances under Section 7, are used to pay, satisfy or discharge a Prior Lien, such loan proceeds or advances will be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender will automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including Lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

21-30.     Reserved.

		
	31.
	Acceleration; Remedies. 

		
	(a)
	At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender will give any notice to Borrower required by applicable law. If no notice is required or if the Event of Default is not cured as prescribed by applicable law, Lender at its option may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Instrument or in any other Loan Document. Furthermore, Lender will be entitled to foreclose this Instrument by power of sale pursuant to the provisions of Title 46 Oklahoma Statues §§40 et. seq. (Oklahoma Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act) effective November 1, 1986, as the same may be amended from time to time, or other applicable statutory authority. Borrower hereby confers on Lender and grants to Lender the power to sell the Mortgaged Property pursuant to said Act. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Instrument may be exercised by Lender without prior judicial hearing. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert the nonexistence of an Event of Default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale. Lender will be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and costs of documentary and title evidence.

		
	(b)
	If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender will give notice in the manner required by applicable law to Borrower and any other persons prescribed by applicable law. Lender will also publish the notice of sale, and the Mortgaged Property will be sold, as prescribed by applicable law. Lender may, at its option, sell the Mortgaged Property in one or more parcels and in such order as Lender may determine. Lender may postpone the sale or change the place of the sale as permitted by applicable law by giving notice complying with applicable law. Lender or its designee may purchase the Mortgaged Property at any sale. The proceeds of the sale will be applied in the manner prescribed by applicable law.

Freddie Mac Loan Number:  534402402
Property Name:  Sonoma Grande

GUARANTY
(CME AND PORTFOLIO)

MULTISTATE

(Revised 1-11-2012)

THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is entered into to be effective as of May 24, 2012, by STEADFAST INCOME 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"), Sir Sonoma Grande, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $22,540,000.00 (“Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by a Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, 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 

Guaranty - Multistate (CME and Portfolio)                            Page1

times thereafter, of each of the following: 

		
	(A)
	Guarantor guarantees a portion of the Indebtedness equal to 0% 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). (CME loans only)

		
	(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/or compliance with all of Borrower’s obligations relating to environmental matters under Sections 6.12 and 10.02 of the Loan Agreement when due and the accuracy of Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement.

		
	(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.  

		
	(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.
	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 relating to 

Guaranty - Multistate (CME and Portfolio)                            Page2

environmental matters under Sections 6.12 and 10.02 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 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.

		
	4.
	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.

		
	5.
	No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor – All States Except California. 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:

		
	(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)
	Diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness.

		
	(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. 

Guaranty - Multistate (CME and Portfolio)                            Page3

 
		
	(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.

		
	6.
	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:

	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 in this Guaranty after entered into, or waive such performance or compliance. 

		
	(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.

		
	7.
	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.

	(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 7 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. 

		
	8.
	Subordination of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Guarantor.

Guaranty - Multistate (CME and Portfolio)                            Page4

the other provisions of this Guaranty.

		
	9.
	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. 

		
	10.
	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.

		
	11.
	Financial Information. Guarantor, from time to time upon written request by Lender, will deliver to Lender such financial statements as Lender may reasonably require. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Guarantor will deliver to Lender upon written request copies of its state and federal tax returns. 

		
	12.
	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. 

		
	13.
	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.

		
	14.
	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. 

		
	15.
	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 will 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.

	17.
	State-Specific Provisions.  If Lender elects to enforce this Guaranty before, or without, enforcing the Loan Agreement, Guarantor waives any right, whether pursuant to 12 Okla. Stat. 686 or otherwise, to require Lender to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against the Indebtedness.

18.    Community Property Provision.  Not applicable.

		
	19.
	WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. 

		
	(a) 
	GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS GUARANTOR AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY. 

		
	(b) 
	GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH 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.

EXHIBIT A

MODIFICATIONS TO GUARANTY

The following modifications are made to the text of the Guaranty that precedes this Exhibit:

		
	1.
	The following is added as a new Section 22:

		
	22.
	Term of Existence.

		
	(a)
	In the event Guarantor fails to provide to Lender Notice, given not later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of Guarantor’s term of existence, that Guarantor has extended its term of existence to a date that is later than the Maturity Date of the Loan (a “Term Extension Event of Default”) then Guarantor must do one of the following within 10 days after the Term Extension Event of Default: 

		
	(i)
	deliver to Lender as collateral security for the Loan a letter of credit (“Term Extension Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $2,254,000 and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in this Loan Agreement and in accordance with Lender’s standard requirements for letters of credit, except that the initial term of the Term Extension Letter of Credit must be no less than six (6) months; or  

		
	(ii)
	provide Lender with a replacement Guarantor, which replacement Guarantor must be acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.  If the replacement Guarantor is an entity other than a publically-traded REIT, the replacement Guaranty must be modified to include Freddie Mac’s standard form Minimum Net Worth/Liquidity Rider to Guaranty (CME and Portfolio) reflecting a minimum net worth requirement of $10,000,000 and a minimum required liquidity of $2,254,000.

		
	(b)
	If Guarantor provides the Term Extension Letter of Credit, Guarantor must ensure that the Term Extension Letter of Credit remains in force and effect until the Maturity Date.  Guarantor must continuously renew the Term Extension Letter of Credit not later than 30-days’ prior to the then expiration of the Term Extension Letter of Credit, or Lender may draw upon the Term Extension Letter of Credit as if an Event of Default has occurred.  

		
	(c)
	[intentionally omitted]
