NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

2.1.Guaranty of Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the full, prompt and complete payment of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent expressly acknowledges and agrees that the scope of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are limited to the payment of an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Guaranteed Obligations and Guarantor shall have no other or further obligation under this Guaranty or under the Loan Documents whatsoever in respect of any act or omission, whether in respect of payment, performance or otherwise, of Borrower or any other obligor of the Debt, or any of their respective employees, agents, representatives, officers or directors in connection with the Loan, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, delay, warranty, indemnity, error and omission or otherwise.

2.2.Nature of Guaranty; Conditions Precedent.

(a)This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of collection (as contemplated pursuant to Section 3-416(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York as of the date hereof (the “NY UCC”) and not a guaranty of payment (as contemplated under Section 3-416(1) of the NY UCC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, no payment shall be due from Guarantor to Lender and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be due or payable until and unless each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied (collectively, the “Conditions Precedent”):

(i)the Debt shall be due and payable in full and Borrower shall have failed to pay the Debt in full in accordance with the Loan Documents;

3

(ii)Administrative Agent shall have made written de mand to Guarantor for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and, together therewith, shall have provided to Guarantor a reasonably detailed computation of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, reasonably detailed back-up calculations supporting the same, and such other back-up documentation reasonably related thereto; and

(iii)Administrative Agent shall have asserted, exercised and enforced, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies to which Administrative Agent may be reasonably entitled in respect of the Debt, and shall have exhausted Administrative Agent’s efforts to seek repayment of the Loan from all sources other than this Guaranty, including any rights, claims or pursuit of foreclosure or power of sale resulting from such judgment and Administrative Agent shall have successfully conducted a foreclosure sale of the Collateral.

(b)This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Administrative Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note or any part thereof and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.

2.3.Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense (other than that (x) the Guaranteed Obligations are not due and owing or have been paid in full or (y) all sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents have been paid in full) of Guarantor, Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party, against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

2.4.Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid or performed when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, upon satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, perform and pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

2.5.Computation of Amount of Money Judgment.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and defenses under applicable Nevada law, including, without limitation, the rights, benefits and defenses under Nevada Revised Statutes 40.459 and the judicial decisions relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent agrees that Guarantor shall be entitled to all such rights, benefits and defenses regardless of whether it should ever be determined that Nevada law does not apply to any claim and regardless of any change to Nevada Revised Statutes 40.459 or any other applicable Nevada law after the date hereof.

(b)If the amount of the Debt exceeds the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, for purposes of determining the amount of the deficiency judgment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 40.455, the amount of the credit for the value of the Collateral taken into account pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 40.459 shall be the product of (A) the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Collateral or (ii) the amount for which it was sold and (B) the quotient of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations divided by the amount of the Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the deficiency judgment shall be determined in a manner such that this Guaranty would be a recognized obligation for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(b)(3) and would not be considered a “bottom dollar payment obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(b)(3)(ii)(C).

2.6.Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of, and any rights of consent to, (a) any loans or advances made by Administrative Agent or Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgages, the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty), (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower, Lender and Administrative Agent of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Properties and/or the collateral for the Loan, (e) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or any other Loan Party or an Event of Default, (f) except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (g) except as specifically provided for herein, sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower or any other Loan Party, (i) except as specifically provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, any other action at any time taken or omitted by Administrative Agent, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations hereby guaranteed, (j) except as specifically provided for herein, any limitation of liability or recourse in any other Loan Document or arising under any law, (k) any claim or defense that this Guaranty was made without consideration or is not supported by adequate consideration, (l) except as expressly agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent, whether express or by operation of law, any partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder, or if one or more other guaranties are now or hereafter obtained by Administrative Agent covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, any complete or partial release of any one or more of such guarantors under any such other guaranty, or any complete or partial release or settlement of Borrower or any other party

2.7.Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent, pay Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable third-party attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.8.Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Administrative Agent must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Administrative Agent in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Administrative Agent shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower, each other Loan Party and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except as expressly provided for herein or in the Loan Agreement or by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

2.9.Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, until the Debt is indefeasibly paid in full, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Administrative Agent), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other Loan Party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty.

4.2.Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of Borrower and each other Loan Party and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

4.3.No Representation By Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

4.4.Guarantor’s Financial Condition.

9

4.5.Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles and a covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

4.6.Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against Guarantor, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Guarantor would be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Guarantor.

4.7.No Plan Assets. As of the date of this Guaranty, Guarantor is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a materially adverse effect on Guarantor, Guarantor is not obligated to contribute to any employee benefit plan (as so defined) subject to Title IV of ERISA. Assuming compliance by the Lender with paragraph (c) of Section 5.2.8 of the Loan Agreement, transactions contemplated hereunder by or with Guarantor are not subject to any state or other statute or regulation applicable to Guarantor with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which are substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect and which prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Applicable Similar Law”), including, but not limited to the exercise by Administrative Agent and/or Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Administrative Agent in writing if, in the reasonable judgment of Guarantor, which may be based on consultation with counsel, the assets of Guarantor constitute plan assets of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or any plan subject to any Applicable Similar Law.

4.8.ERISA. Assuming compliance by Lender of the representation in Section 5.2.8(c) of the Loan Agreement, Guarantor shall not knowingly engage in any transaction, other than a transaction contemplated hereunder, which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Administrative Agent and/or Lender of any of its rights under the Note, the Mortgages, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A) of the Code.

4.9.Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein are made as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution hereof.

ARTICLE V.
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

5.1.Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower and each other Loan Party to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower or any other Loan Party (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

5.2.Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Administrative Agent. Should Administrative Agent receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Administrative Agent in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Administrative Agent to the extent that such payments to Administrative Agent on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Administrative Agent had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims, provided, however, that Guarantor shall have no such subrogation rights until repayment in full of the Debt.

5.3.Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Administrative Agent, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Administrative Agent.

11

5.4.Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Administrative Agent presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower or any other Loan Party held by Guarantor.
