Any capitalized term used and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. This Guaranty is one of the Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement. 

  








 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, and as a material inducement to Lender to extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender the prompt and full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (defined below), this Guaranty
being upon the following terms and conditions: 
 1. Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to Lender the punctual payment when due, and not merely the collectability, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter the payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of
Borrower (hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower” shall mean (i) all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to Article
13 of the Loan Agreement and (ii) any Loss incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with Guarantor’s breach and/or violation of Section 28 hereof.

 2. Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor. 

(a) Guarantor hereby agrees that each of the following shall constitute Events of Default hereunder (i) the occurrence of a default by
Guarantor in payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, when such indebtedness becomes due and (ii) the dissolution, bankruptcy and/or insolvency of any Guarantor. 

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, for purposes of this Guaranty,
shall be deemed immediately due and payable at the election of Lender. Guarantor shall, on demand, pay the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower to Lender. It shall not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment, first to
(i) institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrower or others liable for the Debt, (ii) enforce any rights against any security that shall ever have been given to secure the Debt, (iii) join Borrower or any
others liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty and/or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the
Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower. 
 (c) Suit may be brought or demand may be made against all parties who have signed this
Guaranty or any other guaranty covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Lender against any party hereto. 

  
 2 








 (d) In the event any payment by Borrower or any other Person to Lender is held to constitute a
preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Borrower or
any other party to Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Lender of this
Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Lender or paid by Lender to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Recourse
Obligations of Borrower), and any interest paid by Lender and any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender in connection with any such event. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower under
any Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any law or tribunal, any amounts due and payable hereunder shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor on demand by Lender. 

3. Subordination. If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor: 

(a) such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing with respect to property
of Borrower securing same shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower and to all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations
of Borrower; 
 (b) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of
Borrower to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid and performed; 
 (c) Guarantor
hereby assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency
proceedings referred to below. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding
so as to establish its rights hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian (whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends
and payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid
and performed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution that is prohibited as provided above in this Section, Guarantor shall pay the same to Lender immediately, Guarantor hereby
agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Lender and shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Lender; and 

(d) Guarantor shall promptly upon request of Lender from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Lender may reasonably
require to evidence and perfect its interest and to permit or facilitate exercise of its rights under this Section.

 4. Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower. If Guarantor is or becomes liable, by
endorsement or otherwise, for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all
other rights that Lender may have against Guarantor. 
 5. Assignment by Lender. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender and
Lender’s successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of
Borrower so assigned, may be transferred with such Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower. Guarantor waives notice of any transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to
give notice will not affect the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder. 
 6. Binding Effect. This Guaranty is binding not only on
Guarantor, but also on Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Upon the death of Guarantor, if Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue against Guarantor’s estate as to all of the Guaranteed
Recourse Obligations of Borrower, including that portion incurred or arising after the death of Guarantor and shall be provable in full against Guarantor’s estate, whether or not the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower are then due and
payable. If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising hereunder shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all of such Persons and each of them individually. Without limitation of any other term, provision or waiver contained herein, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has
been furnished true, complete and correct copies of the Loan Documents and has reviewed the terms and provisions thereof (including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower). 

7. Nature of Guaranty. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty (a) is a guaranty of payment and not only of
collection and that Guarantor is liable hereunder as a primary obligor, (b) shall only be deemed discharged after the indefeasible satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower and the Debt, (c) shall not be
reduced, released, discharged, satisfied or otherwise impacted in connection with (i) any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions hereof, be deemed a legal or equitable reduction, satisfaction, discharge or release and/or
(ii) Lender’s enforcement of remedies under the Loan Documents and (d) shall survive the foregoing and shall not merge with any resulting foreclosure deed, deed in lieu or similar instrument (if any). 

8. Governing Law. The governing law and related provisions set forth in Section 17.2 of the Loan Agreement (including, without
limitation, any authorized agent provisions thereof) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (with Guarantor substituted in all places where Borrower appears thereunder) and shall be deemed fully applicable to Guarantor
hereunder. Guarantor hereby certifies that it has received and reviewed the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 17.2 thereof). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions hereof and this
Section 8, this Section 8 shall control.

 9. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance
shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, or the applicability of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, as applicable, shall remain in effect and be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements. 
 10. Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses of Collection. Guarantor shall pay on demand all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in the enforcement of or preservation of Lender’s rights under this Guaranty including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees, costs and
expenses, investigation costs, and all court costs, whether or not suit is filed herein, or whether at maturity or by acceleration, or whether before or after maturity, or whether in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or appeal, or whether in
connection with the collection and enforcement of this Guaranty against any other Guarantor, if there be more than one. Guarantor agrees to pay interest on any expenses or other sums due to Lender under this Section 10 that are not paid when
due, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate provided for in the Note. Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Section 10 shall survive any payment or discharge in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.

 11. Payments. All sums payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America that at the time
of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 
 12. Controlling Agreement. It is not the intention of
Lender or Guarantor to obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that lawfully permitted to be paid by Guarantor under applicable Legal Requirements. Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower
or any other amount payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest that Guarantor, in Guarantor’s capacity as guarantor, may lawfully be required to pay under applicable Legal
Requirements, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section shall override and control
all other provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor and Lender.

14. Cumulative Rights. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or at law or in
equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses afforded to Lender by reason of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or by law or equity or
otherwise, and the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Guarantor or others obligated for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, or
against any one or more of them, or against any security or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Lender, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Guarantor that the exercise of, discontinuance of the
exercise of or failure to exercise any of such rights, remedies, or recourses shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No
waiver of any default on the part of Guarantor or of any breach of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or of any other document shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or
enforcing the rights and powers granted herein or in any other document shall be construed as a waiver of such rights and powers, and no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder or under any other document shall be held to exhaust
such rights and powers, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time. The granting of any consent, approval or waiver by Lender shall be limited to the specific instance and purpose therefor and shall not constitute consent or
approval in any other instance or for any other purpose. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No provision of this Guaranty or
any right, remedy or recourse of Lender with respect hereto, or any default or breach, can be waived, nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except specifically in each case by a writing intended
for that purpose (and which refers specifically to this Guaranty) executed, and delivered to Guarantor, by Lender.

 15. Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation in or under any of the Loan Documents or to participate in any way therein, or in any right, title or interest in and to any security or right of recourse for the Guaranteed Recourse
Obligations of Borrower, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid, and (b) if Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to
Borrower, then Guarantor hereby irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights against Borrower with respect to this Guaranty (including any right of subrogation, except to
the extent of collateral held by Lender), whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law. It is the intention of the parties that Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in
Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that Borrower or Guarantor becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is given to induce Lender to make the
Loan as evidenced by the Note to Borrower. 
 16. Further Assurances. Guarantor at Guarantor’s expense will promptly execute and
deliver to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request all such other and further documents, agreements, and instruments as shall be reasonably required by Lender in furtherance of the agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty. 

17. No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between Lender and Guarantor is solely that of lender and guarantor. Lender has no
fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Guarantor and none is created hereby or may be inferred from any course of dealing or act or omission of Lender. 

18. Interpretation. If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person as “Guarantor”, then the term “Guarantor” as
used in this Guaranty shall refer to all such Persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants, waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Guaranty are made by and shall be binding upon each and
every such undersigned Person, jointly and severally and Lender may pursue any Guarantor hereunder without being required (i) to pursue any other Guarantor hereunder or (ii) pursue rights and remedies under the Security Instrument and/or
applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the Properties or any other Loan Documents. 
 19. Time of Essence. Time shall be of
the essence in this Guaranty with respect to all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 20. Execution. This Guaranty may be
executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 21. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement between Lender and
Guarantor with respect to the guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower. This Guaranty supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, with respect to guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse
Obligations of Borrower. No condition or conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty exist. This Guaranty shall be effective upon execution by Guarantor and delivery to Lender. This Guaranty may not be modified, amended or superseded
except in a writing signed by Lender and Guarantor referencing this Guaranty by its date and specifically identifying the portions hereof that are to be modified, amended or superseded. The Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the
parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. 
 22. WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. LENDER (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY) AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH GUARANTOR AND LENDER MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO, THIS GUARANTY
AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS GUARANTY.
THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY LENDER AND GUARANTOR, AND LENDER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN
ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. EACH OF LENDER AND GUARANTOR FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. 
 23. Consent to Jurisdiction. Guarantor irrevocably submits generally and
unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Guaranty, and irrevocably agrees
that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state or federal court. Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Guarantor may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claims that any such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantor and may be enforced in any court in which Guarantor is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantor as provided in the Loan
Documents or as otherwise permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Guarantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all errors and all rights of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition, and other
rights to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled under the laws of the United States of America or of any state of possession of the United States of America now in force and which may hereinafter be enacted. The authority and power to appear for
and enter judgment against Guarantor shall not be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof or by any imperfect exercise thereof and shall not be extinguished by any judgment entered pursuant thereto. Such authority may be exercised on one or more
occasions or from time to time in the same or different jurisdiction as often as Lender shall deem necessary and desirable, for all of which this Guaranty shall be sufficient warrant.

(or in taking or prosecuting) any action in connection with any Loan Document, or any failure to sell or otherwise dispose of in a commercially reasonable manner any collateral securing any or
all of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower; (x) any failure of Lender to notify Guarantor of any creation, renewal, extension, rearrangement, modification, supplement, subordination, or assignment of the Guaranteed Recourse
Obligations of Borrower or any part thereof, or of any Loan Document, or of any release of or change in any security, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by Lender against Borrower or any security or other recourse, or of any
new agreement between Lender and Borrower, it being understood that Lender shall not be required to give Guarantor any notice of any kind under any circumstances with respect to or in connection with the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower,

(xiv) the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower against Borrower, whether because the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower exceed the amount permitted by law or violate any usury law, or
because the act of creating the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, is ultra vires, or because the officers or Persons creating same acted in excess of their authority, or because of a lack of validity or enforceability
of or defect or deficiency in any of the Loan Documents, or because Borrower has any valid defense, claim or offset with respect thereto, or because Borrower’s obligation ceases to exist by operation of law, or because of any other reason or
circumstance, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, for any reason (and regardless of
any joinder of Borrower or any other party in any action to obtain payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower); (xv) any order, ruling or plan of reorganization emanating from proceedings under any
