GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS
This GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS (this “Guaranty”) is executed as of July 11, 2016 by BROOKFIELD DTLA HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as guarantor, having an address at 250 Vesey Street, 15th floor, New York, New York 10281-1023 (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH, a branch of Deutsche Bank AG, a German Bank, authorized by the New York Department of Financial Services, having an address at 60 Wall Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10005 (“DB”), and of BARCLAYS BANK PLC, a public company registered in England and Wales, having an address at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 (“Barclays”, collectively with DB, together with their respective successors and/or assigns, “Lender”).   
W I T N E S S E T H:
A.    Pursuant to those certain promissory notes executed by Maguire Properties–555 W. Fifth, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and by Maguire Properties – 350 S. Figueroa, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “Borrower”), and payable to the order of Lender in the aggregate original principal amount of Three Hundred Nineteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($319,000,000.00) (collectively, with all renewals, modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “Note”), Borrower has become indebted, and may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the “Loan”) which is made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
B.    Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined).
C.     Guarantor is the owner of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, and Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time agree to extend under the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1    Guaranty of Obligation.
(a)    Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of 


Guaranty of Recourse Obligations





maturity or otherwise.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.
(b)    As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means (i) Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities and (ii) from and after the date that any Springing Recourse Event occurs, payment of all of the Obligations.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 1.2    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.
Section 1.3    Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset.  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 offset, claim or defense of Borrower 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.
Section 1.4    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 written demand therefor 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, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, 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.
Section 1.5    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 (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, 


	
			
	 
	2
	Guaranty of Recourse Obligations









(ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, to the extent California law is deemed to apply notwithstanding the choice of law set forth herein, any of the foregoing which may be available to Lender by virtue of California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, and 2850.  Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.6    Waivers.  Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, 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/or the obligations hereby guaranteed, other than such notices to Guarantor (if any) as may be expressly required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.  
Section 1.7    Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender, pay Lender all reasonable 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, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.8    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 (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Borrower 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.

ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and to extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
Section 3.1    Benefit.  Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3.2    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 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.
Section 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.
Section 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 (a) is 


	
			
	 
	6
	Guaranty of Recourse Obligations









and will be solvent, (b) has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and (c) has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, including the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 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 whatsoever 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, charge, lien, 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 against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
Section 3.6    Survival.  All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.
ARTICLE 4 
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1    Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower 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 (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  So long as any portion of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations remains outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2    Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a 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 against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and 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 


	
			
	 
	7
	Guaranty of Recourse Obligations









Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3    Payments Held in Trust.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4    Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’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 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 rights it may have against Borrower, 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 the 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 the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.  The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower granting liens or security interests in any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.
ARTICLE 5 
COVENANTS

Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Guarantor in the form as provided by Guarantor.  Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.

Lender acknowledges that Information (as defined below) furnished to it may include material, non-public information concerning the Guarantor and shall be kept confidential; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude Lender from disclosing any Information (A) to any of the Disclosure Parties (as defined below) in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, and following any Secondary Market Transaction, to actual investors in the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein) and to the Rating Agencies, (B) to any of the Disclosure Parties other than as described in clause (A) above, provided that such parties are advised by Lender of the confidential nature of such Information, and provided further that each Rating Agency and underwriter to which such information is disclosed shall have executed its usual and customary confidentiality agreement, and each NRSRO (as defined below) desiring access to any secured website containing such information shall, as a condition to its access, have either furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission the certification required under Rule 17g-5(e) of the Exchange Act or be required to agree to (or “click through”) such website’s confidentiality provisions, (C) as required by any applicable Legal Requirement, (D) which is already publicly available as a result of disclosure by any other party, (E) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (F) in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement by Lender of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (G) if Lender is required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding (in which case, Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to give prior written notice of such requirement to Guarantor in order to permit Guarantor to seek a protective order at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense).  As used herein, (i) “Information” means all non-public information relating to Guarantor or its business delivered by Guarantor to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or required to be delivered or provided under this Guaranty; provided, that in the case of information received from Guarantor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; (ii) “Disclosure Parties” shall mean any actual or prospective investor, any actual or prospective assignee, any actual or prospective participant in the Loan, any actual or prospective providers of financing directly or indirectly secured by, the Loan or any Securities or any direct or indirect class, component, portion or interest therein or thereof, any Rating Agency rating any participations in the Loan and/or Securities, any NRSRO, any underwriter, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, auditors, regulatory authorities or any Persons that may be entitled by law to the Information,  any Affiliate of a Lender involved from time to time in the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, any other Loan Document and/or in any Securitization, any employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, or other professional advisors of a Lender or its Affiliates, any servicers of the Loan, and/or any Governmental Authorities, in all cases, as Lender determines necessary or desires in its sole discretion; and (iii) “NRSRO” means any credit rating agency that has elected to be treated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of Section 15E of the Exchange Act, without regard to whether or not such credit rating agency has been engaged by Lender or its designees in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Securitization.  In no event shall Lender (x) be responsible for monitoring or enforcing such use of the Information by any Disclosure Party or (y) be liable to Guarantor or any other Person for any acts or omissions by any Disclosure Party, including, without limitation, any failure of any such Disclosure Party to limit its use of the Information.

Section 6.18    Environmental Provisions.  To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Mortgage as to any parcel of the Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender’s claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.
Section 6.19    Additional Guarantor Waivers.  To the extent California law applies, Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.  Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Borrower or the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan.  In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan.  Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender’s realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which Guarantor otherwise might have against Borrower.  In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Guaranty against such parties.  Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense.  In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further claim against Borrower, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan.  Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.  If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be

credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property.  This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 6.20    Termination.  This Guaranty shall terminate at such time as the Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others to Lender with respect to the Loan could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
