 ARTICLE I 

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY 

1.1 Guaranty of Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to
Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance (either directly or through one or more of its Affiliates or other Persons) of the Guaranteed Obligations arising from and after the date of this Guaranty 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. 

1.2 Guaranteed Obligations. 

(a) As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all obligations and liabilities of Borrower pursuant to Section 9.4(b)
and Section 9.4(c) of the Loan Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or any of the other Loan
Documents, the liability of Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations set forth in Section 9.4(c) of the Loan Agreement shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty-Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($252,000,000.00) plus any and all reasonable
costs actually incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) in connection with the enforcement of Section 9.4(c) of the Loan Agreement or collection of amounts due thereunder. 

  
 -2 








 (c) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b) above, the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be limited to such liabilities or claims arising or incurred at a time when Borrower and the other Loan Parties are Controlled by (x) Guarantor or (y) any Person that Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with
Guarantor (each of clauses (x) and (y), “Guarantor Related Party”); and, moreover, and without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor shall not have any liability under this Guaranty for any acts or omissions of (A) Lender (or its
designee or any other purchaser at foreclosure (or deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure), or any transferee of Lender, its designee or such other purchaser, (unless such purchaser or transferee of Lender, its designee or such purchaser is a
Guarantor Related Party) upon, or at any time after, a foreclosure (or deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure) on all or any portion of the Collateral with respect to the Collateral or portion thereof subject to foreclosure (or deed or other
transfer in lieu of foreclosure), or (B) any Mezzanine Lender (or its designee or any other purchaser at foreclosure (or assignment or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure), or any transferee of such Mezzanine Lender, its designee or such
other purchaser, (unless such purchaser or transferee of such Mezzanine Lender, its designee or such purchaser is a Guarantor Related Party) upon, or any time after, a foreclosure (or assignment or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure) on all
or any portion of the collateral securing such Mezzanine Loan. 
 1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute,
continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.     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 Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by
Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note. 
 1.4

claim or defense of Borrower, Property Owner, 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. 
 1.5 Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon 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 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. 

  
 -3 








 1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby
waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower, Property Owner or others liable on the Loan or the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (d)
join Borrower, Property Owner or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan,
or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of 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 Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (a) any loans or advances made by
Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower, Property Owner and Lender of any other loan or credit
agreement or of Borrower’s or Property Owner’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Collateral, (e) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or
Property Owner or an Event of Default, (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed
Obligations, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower or Property Owner, or (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, except as expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents 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. 

1.8 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 Lender, pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in 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. 

1.9 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, Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender 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 Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower, Property Owner and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall
not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. 

  
 -4 








 1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Guaranty, until the Debt is 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 Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower, Principal, Property Owner or Operating Lessee
or any other Loan Party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations (to the extent not covered by insurance) for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise. Upon repayment of the Debt and
the Mezzanine Loans in full, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be of no further force and effect. 
 1.11
Release. Each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty as of the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.10(f) of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied. Lender shall promptly, upon request,
execute and deliver to Guarantor any instrument reasonably requested by Guarantor to evidence such release, provided that no such documentation shall be required to effectuate any such release. 

1.12 Borrower. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership
(general or limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower. The term “Loan Party” as used

3.2 Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with,    and has independently reviewed books and
records regarding, the financial condition of the Borrower and Property Owner 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. 
 3.3 No Representation By
Lender. Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty. 

3.4 Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent
obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and will have property and assets
sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities. 
 3.5 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 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 in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of
creditors’ rights. 
 3.6 Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution
hereof. 
 3.7 No Plan Assets. Guarantor is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to

 -8 








 3.8 ERISA. Guarantor shall not 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 Lender of any of its rights under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory
or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA. 
 ARTICLE IV 

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS 

4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and
liabilities of Borrower and Property Owner, Principal or Operating Lessee to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower and Property Owner 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 and Property Owner (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Until repayment in full of the Debt, Guarantor shall
not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or Property Owner any amount upon the Guarantor Claims. 
 4.2 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 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 Lender. Should Lender receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower, Property Owner and Guarantor, shall
constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender 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 Lender 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. 

4.3 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 Lender an amount 

  
 -9 








 
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 Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender. 
 4.4 Liens
Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s and Property Owner’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 and Property Owner’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of
Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower or Property Owner, 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, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower or Property Owner held by Guarantor. 

ARTICLE V 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

5.1 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or
waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case
shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

 5.3 Governing Law; Choice of Venue. This Guaranty shall be governed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York and the applicable law of the United States of America. Any legal suit, action or proceeding against Guarantor or Lender arising out of or relating to this Guaranty shall be instituted in a Federal or State court
in the City of New York, County of New York, pursuant to Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law and each of Guarantor and Lender hereby waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have based on venue and/or forum non
conveniens of any such suit, action or proceeding. 
 5.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. 

5.5 Amendments. This Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto. 

5.6 Parties Bound; Assignment; Joint and Several. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that Guarantor may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder. If Guarantor consists of
more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and several.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Guaranty. 

5.8 Recitals. The recital and introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Guaranty and shall be considered

be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each
counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on
behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except
having attached to it additional signature pages.

owing by Borrower or Property Owner to Lender, by endorsement or otherwise, 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 ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or
remedy.
