D.                                    Lender has relied on the statements and
agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loan and would not have made
the Loan without this Guaranty.  The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by
Guarantor is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by Lender.

 

AGREEMENTS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantor, in consideration of
the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated
herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees
for the benefit of Lender and its respective successors, indorsees, transferees,
participants and assigns as follows:

 

1.                                      Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees:

 

(a)                                 the full and prompt payment of the principal
of and interest on the Note when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the full and prompt
payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under
the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including but not
limited to the Indemnity;

 

(b)                                 the prompt, full and complete performance of
all of Borrowers’ obligations under each and every covenant contained in the
Loan Documents; and

 

(c)                                  the full and prompt payment of any
Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof).

 

All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in
subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 1 shall be hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

 

2.                                      In the event of any default by Borrowers
in the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, after the expiration of any
applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Lender or the
holder of the Note, to pay the Guaranteed Obligations regardless of any defense,
right of set-off or claims which Borrowers or Guarantor may have against Lender
or the holder of the Note.

 

All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan
Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to Lender, and the
choice by Lender of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to
question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such
choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any
action, proceeding, or counteraction by Lender to recover or seeking any other
remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Lender from
subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy.  The parties have agreed
to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because they recognize that
the choice of remedies in the event of a default hereunder will necessarily be
and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the
passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to
maximize recovery by Lender at the lowest cost to Borrowers and/or Guarantor. 
It is the intention of the

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

parties that such good faith choice by Lender be given conclusive effect
regardless of such subsequent developments.

 

3.                                      Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice
of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender and any and all notices and demands of
every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law,
(b) agree to refrain from asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan,
any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantor may have against
Borrowers, (c) waive any defense, right of set-off or other claim which
Guarantor or Borrowers may have against Lender, or the holder of the Note,
(d) waive any and all rights Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency
statute or other similar protections, (e) waive presentment for payment, demand
for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest,
diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be
legally required to charge Guarantor with liability (other than any notices
expressly required under the terms of this Guaranty), and (f) waive any failure
by Lender to inform Guarantor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know
about Borrowers, the Projects, the Loan, or the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to
inform and that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed
by Borrowers of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of
Borrowers’ obligations.  Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by
Lender to Borrowers without notice to or authorization from Guarantor,
regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any
such grant or continuation.  Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or
discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of Borrowers. 
Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been
made by Lender.  No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this
Guaranty shall be binding upon Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing
duly signed and delivered by Lender.

 

4.                                      Guarantor further agrees that
Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in not be impaired or affected by any
renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the
knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or
principal under the Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest
or principal under the Note, or by any waiver by Lender under the Loan
Agreement, Mortgages or any other Loan Documents, or by Lender’s failure or
election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against Borrowers,
Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any change
or modification in the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages or any other Loan
Document, or by the acceptance by Lender of any additional security or any
increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Lender of any
security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of
payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than
the Guaranteed Obligations even though Lender might lawfully have elected to
apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being
the intent hereof that, subject to Lender’s compliance with the terms of this
Guaranty, Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full,
notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety.  Guarantor further understands and agrees that
Lender may at any time enter into agreements with Borrowers to amend and modify
the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages or other Loan Documents, and may waive or
release any provision or provisions of the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages and
other Loan Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments,
may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Lender and Borrowers
may deem proper and desirable, without in

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any manner impairing or affecting this Guaranty or any of Lender’s rights
hereunder or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

 

5.                                      This is an absolute, present and
continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection.  Guarantor agrees that
this Guaranty may be enforced by Lender without the necessity at any time of
resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection
herewith or with the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages or any of the other Loan
Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under the
Mortgages or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor
hereby waives any right to require Lender to join Borrowers in any action
brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment
against Borrowers or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. 
Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall
prevent Lender from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and
remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Note, Loan
Agreement, Mortgages or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of its
rights or the completion of any of its remedies shall not constitute a discharge
of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of
Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute,
independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever.  None
of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement
thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner
whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the
liability of Borrowers under the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages or other Loan
Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of Borrowers or by reason of any
creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrowers.  This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if
at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Note,
Loan Agreement, Mortgages or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise
required to be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation, or reorganization of any of Borrowers, or upon or as a result of
the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or
trustee or similar officer for, any of Borrowers or any substantial part of
their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to Lender
had not been made, regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring
the return of such payment.  In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgages
and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the
amount of such deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said
deficiency against Borrowers would not be allowed by applicable law; however,
the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that Lender institute foreclosure
proceedings or otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security
prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty.

 

6.                                      Guarantor further covenants and agrees
with Lender that, so long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding
Guarantor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender, within the time
provided therein, all financial statements, certificates, reports, notices and
other information required to be provided to Lender from time to time pursuant
to the provisions of Section 10.1(m) and Section 10.1(t) of the Loan Agreement.

 

7.                                      In the event Lender or any holder of the
Note shall assign the Note to any Lender or other entity to secure a loan from
such Lender or other entity to Lender or such holder for an amount not in excess
of the amount which will be due, from time to time, from Borrowers to Lender
under the Note with interest not in excess of the rate of interest which is
payable by Borrowers to Lender under the Note, Guarantor will accord full
recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender or such
holder hereunder shall be enforceable against Guarantor by such Lender or other
entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

would have been enforceable by Lender or such holder but for such assignment;
provided, however, that unless Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, Lender
shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of its assignee or
transferee, to enforce this Guaranty for Lender’s benefit to the extent any
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any interest therein is not assigned or
transferred.

 

8.                                      If:  (a) this Guaranty is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal
proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights
and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to
provide advice or other representation with respect to this Guaranty; or (d) an
attorney is retained to represent Lender in any proceedings whatsoever in
connection with this Guaranty, then Guarantor shall pay to Lender upon demand
all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of
which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other
amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such
Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this
Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents.

 

9.                                      The parties hereto intend and believe
that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state
and federal laws and judicial decisions.  However, if any provision or
provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty
is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or
federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public
policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions
of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as
written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion,
provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that
they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall
be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable
portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the
rights, obligations and interest of Lender or the holder of the Note under the
remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

 

10.                               TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY
LENDER.  WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), LENDER AND GUARANTOR EACH IRREVOCABLY
(A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS
HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND AND STATE OF OHIO, AND (B) WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS
BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT,
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER
SUCH PARTY.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A
PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN
ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.  LENDER AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION
TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY OHIO STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT
SITTING IN THE CITY OF

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

CLEVELAND AND MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT
REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND
SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL
REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER
THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

 

11.                               Any indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantor now
or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations.  Guarantor agrees that, until all Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid in full, Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for its own account,
any payment from Borrowers on account of such subordinated debt.  Any payments
to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and
received by Guarantor in trust for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations without impairing or releasing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

 

12.                               Any amounts received by Lender from any source
on account of the Loan may be utilized by Lender for the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations of Borrowers to Lender in such
order as Lender may from time to time elect, except as may be expressly provided
to the contrary in any of the other Loan Documents.  Additionally, if the
indebtedness guaranteed hereby is less than the full indebtedness evidenced by
the Note, all rents, proceeds and avails of the Projects, including proceeds of
realization of Lender’s Collateral, shall be deemed applied on the indebtedness
of Borrowers to Lender that is not guaranteed by Guarantor until such
unguaranteed  indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender has been fully repaid before
being applied upon the indebtedness guaranteed by Guarantor.

 

13.                               GUARANTOR AND LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE
HEREOF)  HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
RELATING THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT
OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

 

14.                               Any notice, demand, request or other
communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given
(a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified
Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after
mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service,

is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise; and (iii)  neither
Guarantor nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries is in default under any
agreements which may adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its
obligations under this Guaranty.

 

(f)                                   Each of the representations and warranties
