	 	June 6, 2008






David Lichtenstein, an individual (the “Undersigned”), entered into a Guaranty dated
June 29, 2007 (the “Original Guaranty”) in favor of Citicorp USA, Inc. (“Citicorp”
or “you”) in connection with the Loan Agreement dated June 29, 2007 (the “2007 Loan
Agreement”) between PGRT ESH, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and
Citicorp. The Borrower and Citicorp have amended and restated in its entirety the 2007 Loan
Agreement pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of even date herewith (as so amended
and restated and as further amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), and it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of the Loan Agreement that the Undersigned shall have amended the Original Guaranty. In
furtherance thereof, the Undersigned is entering into this Amended and Restated Guaranty (as so
amended and restated and as further amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, this “Guaranty”).



I. For and in consideration of the obligations to Citicorp of the Borrower under (i) the
Amended and Restated Promissory Note of even date herewith in the principal amount of $110,000,000
(as so amended and restated and as further amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Note”) by the Borrower in favor of Citicorp, and (ii) the
Loan Agreement, the Undersigned does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably GUARANTEE the punctual
payment to you of the Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as and when payable, together
with interest thereon, fees related thereto and any and all costs and expenses which may be
incurred by you in collecting all or any of the Obligations or in enforcing any rights hereunder.



II. As implementing the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Undersigned
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees that the Obligations will be paid to you strictly in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or any other agreement, express or implied, which has been or may hereafter be made or entered into
by the Borrower in reference thereto, regardless of any law, regulation or decree, now or hereafter
in effect, which might in any manner affect any of the terms or provisions of the Note, the Loan
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any such other agreement or your rights with respect
thereto as against the Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time,
amount or manner of payment by the Borrower of any of the Obligations.



III. To induce you to make the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Note and the
Loan Agreement, the Undersigned represents and warrants as follows as of the date hereof: (a) no
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty by the Undersigned, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by the
Undersigned do not and will not violate or otherwise contravene law or any material agreement by
which the Undersigned or his property is bound; (b) this Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity; (c) the balance sheet and
other financial statements of the Undersigned most recently furnished to you by or on behalf of the
Undersigned are true, correct and complete, and fairly present the financial condition of the
Undersigned as of the date thereof for the period ended on such date, all in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and since such date, there has been
no material adverse change in such financial condition of the Undersigned or in the ability of the
Undersigned to perform the Undersigned’s obligations hereunder;


 


 









 





(d) all tax returns with respect to the Undersigned and the Undersigned’s property which are
required to be filed have been duly filed, all taxes and assessments shown thereon to be due and
payable by the Undersigned have been paid, and no taxing authority has asserted any claim for
unpaid taxes or assessments against the Undersigned; (e) there is no action or proceeding
affecting the Undersigned pending before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator or, to the
knowledge of the Undersigned, threatened, and there is no other action or proceeding affecting the
Undersigned pending before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator or, to the knowledge of the
Undersigned, threatened, which may materially adversely affect the financial condition, affairs or
prospects of the Undersigned, or which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
of this Guaranty or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith by the Undersigned
(including, without limitation, any other Loan Document); (f) no Event of Default (as defined in
the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing nor has any event occurred which, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default; (g) neither
the Undersigned nor any of his affiliates (as defined below) has incurred any Contingent Liability
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) since June 11, 2007, other than guaranties or other such
obligations disclosed in their financial statements dated as of and for the period ended December

V. The Undersigned hereby consents and agrees that you may at any time, or from time to time,
in your sole discretion: (a) extend or change the time of payment, or the manner, place or terms
of payment of all or any of the Obligations; (b) exchange, release or surrender all or any of the

connection with all or any of the Obligations; (c) sell or purchase all or any such Collateral at
public or private sale, or at any broker’s board, and after deducting all costs and expenses of
every kind for collection, sale or delivery, the net proceeds of any such sale may be applied by
you upon all or any of the Obligations; and (d) settle or compromise with the Borrower, or any
other Person liable thereon, any and all of the Obligations, or subordinate the payment of same, or
any part thereof to the payment of any other debts or claims, which may at any time be due or owing
to you or any other Person, all in such manner and upon such terms as you may deem proper, and
without notice to or further assent from the Undersigned, it being hereby agreed that the
Undersigned shall be and remain bound upon this Guaranty, irrespective of the existence, value or
condition of any Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise,
surrender, release, sale, application, renewal or extension. The Undersigned further agrees that
the liability of the Undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Obligations, the Note, the Loan
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any
amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Note, the Loan Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Obligations, (iii) any
non-perfection of any Collateral, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, a surety or a guarantor.



VI. The Undersigned hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and also presentment,
demand, protests and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Obligations, and promptness in
commencing suit against any party thereto or liable thereon, and/or in giving any notice to or of
making any claim or demand hereunder upon the Undersigned. No act or omission of any kind on your
part shall in any event affect or impair this Guaranty, nor shall same be affected by any change
which may arise by reason of the death, disability or incompetency of the Undersigned. The
Undersigned further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by you upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Borrower, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Undersigned further
agrees not to exercise any rights which the Undersigned may acquire by way of subrogation under
this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations shall have
been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to the Undersigned on account
of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been paid in full,
such amount shall be held in trust for your benefit and shall forthwith be paid to you to be held
as cash collateral or credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.



VII. This Guaranty shall not be revoked or impaired as to the Undersigned by the death,
disability or incompetency or by the revocation or release of any liabilities hereunder of the
Undersigned.



VIII. In case any provision in or obligation under this Guaranty or any other document related
to this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



IX. This Guaranty and the other documents related to this Guaranty constitute the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

with respect to any Action (and, exclusively, with respect to any other proceeding involving the
Undersigned and you), to the jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New
York County, and the Undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that any Action may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or in such Federal court. The Undersigned hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent the Undersigned may effectively do so, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action in any jurisdiction. The Undersigned hereby
irrevocably agrees that the summons and complaint or any other process in any Action in any
jurisdiction may be served by mailing to either of the addresses set forth below or by hand
delivery to a person of suitable age and discretion at either of the addresses set forth below.
Such service will be complete on the date such process is so mailed or delivered. The Undersigned
may also be served in any other manner permitted by law, in which event the Undersigned’s time to
respond shall be the time provided by law.
