owing to Bank in accordance with the Loan Documents. 
 6. Liability Unimpaired. No Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall
in any way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in such amendment or

contained therein. In addition, no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall in any way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of said documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the
Note or Mortgage or any sale or transfer of all or part of the property covered by the Mortgage, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of said documents limiting Bank’s recourse to the Projector to any other security, or limiting Bank’s
rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (iv) the release of Borrower, Guarantor, any Other Guarantor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of said
documents for any reason, including by the applicable Bank’s election, by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan, (vi) Bank’s failure to record the Mortgage or

unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other instrument or agreement executed or delivered to Bank in connection with the Loan, except to the extent that there is a final adjudication by a court of
competent jurisdiction of a valid defense to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents to payment of the Debt, (viii) the inaccuracy of any of the 







 
representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents or any disbursement certificates or requests for disbursements made under the Loan
Agreement, or (x) any other action or circumstance whatsoever that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, a legal or equitable discharge or defense (except full payment and satisfaction) of Borrower for its obligations under any of the
Loan Documents or of Guarantor under this Guaranty; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Guarantor and with or without consideration. 

7. Preservation of Loan Documents and. Guarantor will cause Borrower to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the Loan
Documents as the same may be modified and will not permit Borrower to take or to fail to take actions of any kind which might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has a defense to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Borrower or any Other Guarantor that Guarantor may have (the “Undersigned’s Rights”); provided however that (i) this Guaranty shall neither be contingent upon the existence of the Undersigned’s Rights nor subject to
any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Undersigned’s Rights including, without limitation, any claim that the Undersigned’s Rights were abrogated by any
acts of Bank, and (ii) until the Debt and all other amounts guaranteed hereunder (including, without limitation, the Loan and the other Obligations) shall have been paid in full or until the Guarantor is otherwise released from its obligations
under this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby postpones and subordinates (A) the exercise of any and all of the Undersigned’s Rights to Bank’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, against Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, or
any Other Guarantor and (B) any of the Undersigned’s Rights to any collateral securing the Debt, including, without limitation, the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except during the existence of an
Event of Default, Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and retain indirect distributions from Borrower made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Borrower’s organizational documents and otherwise permitted under the Loan
Agreement.

or similar officer for, Borrower, any Other Guarantor or any other Person or for a substantial part of Borrower’s, any Other Guarantor’s or any of such other Person’s property, as the case may be, or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and
expenses) actually incurred by or on behalf of Bank in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall constitute Enforcement Costs, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to Section 2 (and, if
applicable Section 3) above. 
 11. Litigation, Compliance with Judgments. Guarantor represents and warrants as of the date
hereof with respect to itself that it has received no written notice of any actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor, at law, in equity or before or by any governmental authorities, which, if resolved in a
manner adverse to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; nor has Guarantor received any written notice that it is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction,
decree or demand of any court or governmental authorities, which default remains uncured and would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Guaranty. 

12. Authorization and Enforceability; No Conflicts. Guarantor represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, that it has the full
power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Guaranty and this Guaranty is a legal, valid and binding instrument, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms. Guarantor that is not an individual hereby

exercising any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other document made to or with Bank in connection with the Loan, shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right or shall be deemed to
constitute either Bank’s acquiescence in any default by Borrower or Guarantor under any of said documents. A waiver by Bank of any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty, on any one occasion shall not be construed
as a bar to any right or remedy which Bank otherwise would have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided in said documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.

or the application thereof to any person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction.
