 NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower and in consideration for the
substantial benefit Guarantor will derive from the making of the Loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 NATURE AND SCOPE OF
GUARANTY 
 1.1 Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the
full and timely payment and performance of all 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 absolutely, irrevocably and
unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as primary obligor. 
 1.2 Definitions of Guaranteed
Obligations. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all obligations and liabilities of Borrower pursuant to Section 9.19(b) of the Loan Agreement. 

1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.
No exculpatory language contained in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any event or under any circumstances modify, qualify or affect the personal recourse obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty may not be revoked
by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and, if Guarantor is a natural person, after Guarantor’s death, in which event this
Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs. It is the intent of Guarantor and Lender that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances and that so long as any portion of the Indebtedness shall be outstanding, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence (other than the defense of actual
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) (including the fact that at any time or from time to time the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced) that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a
legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor. This Guaranty may be enforced by 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 any part of the Note. 

1.4 Intentionally Omitted. 

1.5 Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Set-Off. 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 set-off, offset, claim or defense of any kind or nature that Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person has or may hereafter have against Lender or
against payment of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the defense of actual payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), whether such set-off, offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations
or otherwise. 

  
 2 








 1.6 No Duty to Pursue Others; No Duty to Mitigate. It shall not be necessary for Lender
(and Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, any rights that Guarantor may have to require Lender) to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this
Guaranty, including to (i) institute suit or otherwise enforce Lender’s rights, or exhaust its remedies, against Borrower or any other Person liable on all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any other
Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights, or exhaust any remedies available to Lender, against any collateral that shall ever have been given to secure all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join Borrower
or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall
not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 1.7 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, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of demand
by Lender 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, pay in lawful money of the United States of
America, the amount due thereon to Lender. Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, unless such amounts already include interest at the Default Rate pursuant to the terms of the other Loan Documents. Such
demands may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different Guaranteed Obligations. 

1.8 Application of Payments. If, at any time, there is any Indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to Lender that is not guaranteed by
Guarantor, Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Lender from any collateral or security held by Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed Indebtedness or obligations,
with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or obligations guaranteed by Guarantor. 
 1.9
Waivers. 
 (a) Guarantor hereby assents to all of the terms and agreements heretofore or hereafter made by Borrower with Lender
(including the provisions of the Loan Documents) and hereby waives, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, diligence, presentment, protest, demand on Borrower for payment or otherwise, filing of claims,
requirement of a prior proceeding against Borrower and all notices (other than notices expressly provided for hereunder or required to be delivered under applicable law), including notice of: 

(i) the acceptance of this Guaranty; 

(ii) the present existence or future incurring of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or any future change to the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  
 3 








 (iii) any amendment, modification, replacement or extension of any of the Loan
Documents (other than this Guaranty, and the Environmental Indemnity);

Guaranty, or an interest therein, to any Person acquiring all or any portion of, or interest in, the Loan; 
 (vi) the sale
or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure), or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(vii) any protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or the occurrence of a breach or an Event of Default, or the
intent to accelerate or of acceleration in relation to any instrument relating to the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(viii) the obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement, pledge, assignment or other security for the Indebtedness
or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; or 
 (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted to be taken by
Lender generally in accordance with the Loan Documents and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents and any other documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to the Indebtedness or
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, except such notices and demands expressly required to be delivered by Lender herein. 
 (b)
Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to, and covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time, insist upon, plead or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay,
prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby further waives, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, any and
all rights it may now or hereafter have to, and covenants and agrees that it shall not, set up or claim any defense, counterclaim (other than mandatory counterclaims), cross-claim, set-off, offset, right of recoupment or other objection of any kind
to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder, except for the defense of the actual payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder. 

(c) Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that the waivers made by it in this Section and in the other provisions of this Guaranty are
of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower.

 1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, until the repayment in full of the Indebtedness, 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 any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other Person liable for payment of any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise. 
 1.11 Reinstatement;
Effect of Bankruptcy. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from, or on behalf of, Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is held to constitute a Preferential
Payment (as defined in Section 4.4), or if Lender is required to rescind, restore or return all or part of any such payment or pay the amount thereof to another Person for any reason (including the insolvency, bankruptcy reorganization,
receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder), then the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded, restored or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence
notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made. 

1.12 Release of Guaranty; Termination. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor shall have no liability under this Guaranty
for any Guaranteed Obligations if (i) such Guaranteed Obligations arise as a result of any act, event or condition first arising or occurring on or after (and not prior to) the earliest to occur of (a) the date of the transfer of title to
one-hundred percent (100%) of the Properties to Mortgage Lender (or any of its Affiliates or designees or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale) pursuant to a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar action of Mortgage Lender under the
Mortgage Loan Documents or (b) the date of the transfer of title to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Collateral to Lender (or any of its Affiliates or designees or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale) pursuant to a foreclosure, assignment
in lieu of foreclosure or similar action of Lender’s lien under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such act, event or condition referred to in clause (i) was not caused by actions or omissions of Borrower, Property Owner, Master Tenant,
Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates. 
 (b) This Guaranty will automatically terminate (i) upon repayment in
full of the Indebtedness (except for any of the Guaranteed Obligations which by their express terms survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness) or (ii) in the event Guarantor is replaced in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Agreement, upon the delivery to Lender of a replacement guaranty substantially in the form hereof and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender by such Person acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion with respect to Guaranteed Obligations
first arising on or after such date. At such time as this Guaranty is terminated, Lender shall, upon written request of Guarantor, promptly execute such documents (in form and substance reasonably 

  
 5 








 
acceptable to Lender) and take such action as may be reasonably necessary to document the termination of this Guaranty (to the extent provided above); provided that Guarantor shall pay and
reimburse Lender for all reasonable and actual out of pocket costs and expenses in doing so.

represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof as follows: 
 (a) Due Formation, Authorization and Enforceability. Guarantor
is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, as the case may be, and has full power and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform under this Guaranty and the
transactions contemplated hereunder. Guarantor has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereunder. This Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 (b) Benefit to Guarantor. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that
Lender would not make the Loan but for the personal liability undertaken by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower and directly or indirectly benefits from the making of the Loan to Borrower. 

(c) Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial
condition of Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral granted, or intended to be granted, as security for the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, Guarantor is not relying on such
financial condition or such collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty. 
 (d) No Representation by Lender. Neither
Lender nor any other Person has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor or to any other Person in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty. 

(e) Solvency. Guarantor has not entered into this Guaranty with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. Guarantor
received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor is not presently insolvent, and the execution and delivery of this Guaranty will not render Guarantor insolvent. 

(f) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor, and the performance of transactions contemplated hereunder
do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any material Legal Requirements, regulation (including Regulation U, Regulation X or Regulation T), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or permit affecting Guarantor or any of its assets or
property, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (including any circumstance or event that would be a default but for the lack of due notice or lapse of time or both) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any of Guarantor’s organizational documents or any material agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party, or by which Guarantor or its assets or property are bound or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on
any of Guarantor’s assets or property. 
 (g) Litigation. To Guarantor’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
arbitration or investigation pending or threatened against Guarantor in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, in each case, which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
performance of Guarantor’s obligations and duties under this Guaranty. There are no outstanding or unpaid judgments against Guarantor. 

  
 9 








 (h) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, order or filings of or with any court
or Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of, or compliance by Guarantor with, this Guaranty or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, other than those that have been
obtained by Guarantor. 
 (i) Compliance. Guarantor is not in default or violation of any regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree
or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation or default of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the condition or business of Guarantor or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder. 
 (j) Financial Information. All financial data that have been delivered to Lender with regard to Guarantor
(i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Guarantor as of the date of such reports in all material respects and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
throughout the periods covered, except as may be explicitly disclosed therein. 
 (k) No Defenses. This Guaranty and the obligations
of Guarantor hereunder are not subject to, and Guarantor has not asserted, any right of rescission, offset, counterclaim, cross-claim, recoupment or affirmative or other defense of any kind and neither the operation of any of the terms of this
Guaranty nor the exercise of any right hereunder will render the Guaranty unenforceable in whole or in part. 
 (l) Tax Filings.
Guarantor has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state and local taxes, charges and
assessments payable by Guarantor, except for taxes (i) that are not yet delinquent or (ii) the nonpayment of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor reasonably believes that its tax returns
properly reflect in all material respects the incomes and taxes of Guarantor for the periods covered thereby. 
 (m) No Bankruptcy
Filing. Guarantor is not and has not at any time in the past ten (10) years been a debtor in any voluntary or involuntary state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. Guarantor is contemplating neither the filing of a
petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws nor the liquidation of its assets or property and Guarantor does not have any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. During the ten year
period preceding the Closing Date, no such petition has been filed by or against any person who owns or controls, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the beneficial ownership interests of Guarantor. 

(n) No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Full and Accurate Disclosure. There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact,
circumstance or event, and there is no fact or circumstance presently known to Guarantor that has not been disclosed to Lender, in each case that would make the financial statements or other documents submitted in

expected to materially and adversely affect, Guarantor or its business, operations or conditions (financial or otherwise).

ARTICLE IV 
 SUBORDINATION OF
CERTAIN DEBT 
 4.1 Subordination of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights. As used herein, the term “Guarantor’s
Conditional Rights” shall mean any and all debts and liabilities of each of Property Owner and Borrower owed to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether such obligations 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. 

4.2 Liens Subordinate; Standstill. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, until the repayment in full of
the Indebtedness, Guarantor hereby agrees that (i) all Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and any and all liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Property Owner’s or Borrower’s assets securing
payment of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights shall be and remain, at all times, inferior and subordinate in all respects to the payment in full of the Indebtedness and any and all liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other
encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Indebtedness, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach, (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to,
and shall not, receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower, Property Owner or any other Person any amount pursuant to or in satisfaction of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and (iii) Guarantor shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, (x) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower or Property Owner in 

  
 11 








 
respect of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights or (y) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise,
including the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other
encumbrances on assets of Borrower or Property Owner held by Guarantor. 
 4.3 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right and authority, either in its own name or as an attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, to prove its
claim in any such proceeding and to take such other steps as may be necessary so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments that would otherwise be payable
pursuant to or in satisfaction of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights. Until the Indebtedness is indefeasibly repaid in full and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, Guarantor hereby assigns any and all such
dividends and payments to Lender. 
 4.4 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 that is prohibited by this Guaranty on account of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when any
part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full or, (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor, any payment made by, or on behalf of, Borrower or Property Owner to Lender is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Lender or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (such payment, a “Preferential
Payment”), then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied upon the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. To the extent that any of the provisions of this Article 4 shall not be enforceable, Guarantor agrees that until such time as the Indebtedness and the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by Borrower or Property Owner to Lender may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, all of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights, to
the extent not validly waived, shall be subordinate to Lender’s right to full payment of the Indebtedness and the Guaranteed Obligations and Guarantor shall not enforce any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights during such period.

Intentionally Omitted. 
 5.2 Reporting; Existence. The following requirements shall apply Guarantor: 

(a) As soon as available, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, Guarantor shall furnish to Lender,
in an Excel spreadsheet file in electronic format (which may be via an intralinks site at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense), or, in the case of predominantly text documents, in Adobe pdf format, annual financial statements of Guarantor

of operations, equityholders’ capital and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm whose opinion shall be to the effect that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis and shall not be qualified as to the scope of the audit or as to the status of Guarantor as a going concern, other than solely with respect to, or resulting solely from an upcoming maturity date of Indebtedness incurred under
the Loan Agreement occurring within one year from the time such opinion is delivered. 
 (b) As soon as available, and in any event within
sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter (but excluding the fourth Fiscal Quarter of each Fiscal Year), Guarantor shall furnish to Lender, in an Excel spreadsheet file in electronic format (which may be via an intralinks site at
Guarantor’s sole cost and expense), or, in the case of predominantly text documents, in Adobe pdf format, or in either case, in such other format as may be reasonably acceptable to Lender, quarterly and year-to-date unaudited financial
statements, prepared for such fiscal quarter with respect to Guarantor, including a balance sheet of Guarantor as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter, together with related statements of operations, equityholders’ capital and cash flows for such
Fiscal Quarter and for the portion of the Fiscal Year ending with such Fiscal Quarter, which statements shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the same are true, correct and complete and were prepared in accordance

Guarantor shall not enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation, winding up or dissolution) or sell all or substantially all of its assets unless, only
with respect to a merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (i) the surviving entity assumes the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents if not already a party to
this Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity, and (ii) such transaction does not result in a Prohibited Change of Control.

 ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1
Lender’s Benefit; No Impairment of Loan Documents. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns and nothing contained herein shall impair, as between Borrower and Lender, the obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents. Lender and its successors and assigns shall have the right to assign, in whole or in part, this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to any Person acquiring all or any portion of or interest in the Loan and to participate all or any
portion of the Loan, including any servicer or trustee in connection with a Securitization in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 

6.2 Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and, if
Guarantor is a natural person, upon Guarantor’s heirs, executors and legal representatives, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Guarantor may in no event delegate
or transfer its obligations under, or be released from, this Guaranty, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and this Guaranty. 

6.3 Borrower. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association,
partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of or by Borrower or any interest in
Borrower. 
 6.4 Costs and Expenses. If Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor
shall, within ten (10) Business Days receipt of demand by Lender, pay to Lender any and all actual, documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in
connection with the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

6.5 Not a Waiver; No Set-Off. The failure of any party to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right
or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against such party, nor excuse any other party from its obligations hereunder, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the
exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Guaranty, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to
require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Guaranty or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce,
collect or enforce any of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations. No set-off, counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims), reduction, diminution of any obligations or any defense of any kind or
nature that Guarantor has or may hereafter have against Borrower or Lender shall be available hereunder to Guarantor (other than actual payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations). 

6.6 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. THIS GUARANTY CONTAINS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THE GUARANTY DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND
ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY AS THEY RELATE TO THE GUARANTY DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 6.7 No Oral Change. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, Guarantor, shall entitle Guarantor to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances. 
 6.8 Separate Remedies. Each and all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty and each of the other
Loan Documents are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy herein or therein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 

6.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
