GUARANTY OF NON-RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS
This GUARANTY OF NON-RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS (this “Guaranty”), dated as of May 31, 2019, is executed by the undersigned (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of BERKELEY POINT CAPITAL LLC, d/b/a NEWMARK KNIGHT FRANK, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”).
RECITALS:
A.    Pursuant to that certain Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and between STAR III SWEETWATER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company  (“Borrower”) and Lender (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), Lender is making a loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of Thirty Million Two-Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,265,000.00) (the “Mortgage Loan”), as evidenced by that certain Multifamily Note dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Lender in the amount of the Mortgage Loan (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”).
B.    The Note will be secured by, among other things, a Security Instrument (as defined in the Loan Agreement) encumbering the real property described in the Security Instrument (the “Property”).
C.    Guarantor has an economic interest in Borrower or will otherwise obtain a material financial benefit from the Mortgage Loan.
D.    As a condition to making the Mortgage Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that Guarantor execute this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Mortgage Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:
AGREEMENTS:
1.Recitals.
The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth in the body of this Guaranty.

3.Guaranteed Obligations.
Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of:
(a)    all amounts, obligations and liabilities owed to Lender under Article 3 (Personal Liability) of the Loan Agreement (including the payment and performance of all indemnity obligations of Borrower described in Section 3.03 (Personal Liability for Indemnity Obligations) of the Loan Agreement and including all of Borrower’s obligations under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement); and
(b)    all costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses, incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.
4.Survival of Guaranteed Obligations.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any Foreclosure Event, and any recorded release or reconveyance of the Security Instrument or any release of any other security for any of the Indebtedness.
5.Guaranty of Payment; Community Property.
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute a present and unconditional guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection.  If Guarantor (or any Guarantor, if more than one) is a married person, and the state of residence of Guarantor or Guarantor’s spouse is a community property jurisdiction, Guarantor (or each such married Guarantor, if more than one) agrees that Lender may satisfy Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty to the extent of all Guarantor’s separate property and Guarantor’s interest in any community property.
6.Obligations Unsecured; Cross-Default.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be secured by the Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement.  However, a default under this Guaranty shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, and a default under this Guaranty shall entitle Lender to be able to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.Continuing Guaranty.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any provision of this Guaranty, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.  Guarantor agrees that performance of the obligations hereunder shall be a primary obligation, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, abatement, deferment or defense based upon any claim that Guarantor may have against Lender, Borrower, any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,

Guarantor hereby waives:
(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 shall 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 or a guarantor);

12.Subrogation.
Guarantor shall 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 Insolvency Laws.
13.Voidable Transfer.
If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any Insolvency Laws or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall 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 shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.  If any payment by any Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Insolvency Laws relating to a Voidable Transfer, and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored by the amount of such Voidable Transfer or the amount of such Voidable Transfer that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, including all reasonable costs, expenses and legal fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made, and any other guarantor, if any, shall remain liable for such obligations in full.

The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties.

 12.  Loan Charges Savings Clause.         Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate  and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of  interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Mortgage Loan and any other fees or amounts  to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Neither this Note, the  Loan Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall 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 permitted to be charged under applicable law. It is expressly stipulated  and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable  laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness evidenced  by this Note and the other Loan Documents. If any applicable law limiting the amount of  interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any  interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered  separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document,  or otherwise .charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Mortgage Loan, or on  acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Loan or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower  or otherwise, 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 any such violation. Amounts, if  any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to  reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan without the payment of any  prepayment premium (or,  if the Mortgage Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall  be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Agreement and  any other Loan  Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under  the Loan Agreement and  any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the  execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit  the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. 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, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance  or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the  stated term of the Mortgage Loan. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation  and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform  throughout the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.   13.   WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.         TO  THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BYLAW, EACH OF BORROWER  AND LENDER (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    Multifamily Note - Multistate         Form6010                            Page3  Fannie Mae                               12-17                   © 2017 Fannie Mae
