 Exhibit 10.2 

CONTINUING GUARANTY 

CONTINUING GUARANTY (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of
September 16, 2010 made by and among each of the undersigned guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as
defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined. 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, Colony Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), the Subsidiaries of the REIT from time to time
party thereto as co-borrowers (together with the REIT, each a “Borrower” and collectively the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent
have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to the Borrowers, all as
contemplated therein. 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the REIT. 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and the making of Loans to the Borrowers thereunder
that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent. 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor will
obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to make
Loans to the Borrowers. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and hereby covenants and agrees with each other
Guarantor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows: 
 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor,
jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required
prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the Obligations, including without limitation (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes issued by, and the Loans made to, the
Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, (ii) all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Secured Party (including the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Secured Party) in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof, and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall 

 

 1 








 
be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor
statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable
jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Borrower or any other Loan
Party of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws and (iv) all indebtedness, liabilities, duties, indemnities and obligations of any Loan Party owing to Bank of America or any Affiliate of Bank of America in connection with or relating to
any Borrowing Base Account maintained by such Loan Party at Bank of America or such Affiliate, including, without limitation, those arising under all instruments, agreements or other documents executed in connection therewith or relating thereto
(collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The books and records of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and
shall absent manifest error be binding upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to
the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any
or all of the foregoing. 
 Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of each
Guarantor and the Secured Parties that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law. To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that after giving effect to
Section 20 of this Guaranty, such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment made pursuant to such Guaranteed Obligations would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this paragraph,
be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under applicable Debtor Relief Laws after giving effect to Section 20 of this Guaranty, the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, render such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations unenforceable or avoidable or otherwise
subject to recovery under applicable Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of this paragraph and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery
in any such proceeding under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation, and the Guaranteed Obligations as limited by the first
sentence of this paragraph shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Guarantor. The first sentence of this paragraph is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder against
such Guarantor in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and neither such Guarantor, any Borrower, any other Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that would not
otherwise be available under applicable Debtor Relief Laws in such proceeding.

 2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor shall make all payments
hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed
or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to
Excluded Taxes) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing, on the date on which
such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Secured Parties to receive the same net amount which the Secured Parties would have received on such due date had no such obligation
been imposed upon such Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Secured Parties certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The
obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any Governmental Authority affecting
any Guarantor or any other Loan Party, including but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Guarantor’s or any other Loan Party’s
property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Guarantor or any other Loan Party is located. 

3. Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time,
without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the times for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as
a discharge of one or more of the Guarantors. 
  

 3 








 4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of a Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the
liability of the Borrowers; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Secured Party to proceed against a Borrower or any other Loan Party, proceed against or exhaust any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any
Secured Party; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; and (f) to the full extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or
afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence,
creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. 
 5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, and a separate action
may be brought against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not a Borrower or any other Person is joined as a party. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of
all the Guarantors. 
 6. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity,
reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available
funds and all Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to
be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing, whether matured or unmatured. 

7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or
hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds and all Commitments are
terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower or a Guarantor is made, or a Secured Party exercises its right of
setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required

  

 4 








 
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission,
termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty. 

8. Release of Liability of Guarantor Upon Sale or Dissolution. In the event that all of the capital stock or other Equity
Interests of any Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with or into another Person) or liquidated, in any such case in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.05 of
the Credit Agreement (or such sale, other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or
liquidation are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to a
Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof), be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to such Guarantor, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of
one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 8). 

9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in
connection with any case commenced by or against a Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors who are not subject to such automatic stay immediately
upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 10. Expenses. The Guarantors shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by any Secured Party (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Secured Party), and shall pay on demand all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Secured Party, in any way
relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Secured Parties (or any of them) under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in
full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 
 11. Modifications; Miscellaneous. Neither this
Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except in a writing signed by each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not
constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, to the extent required by
Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement). No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial

  

 5 








 
exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. This Guaranty is not intended to
supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or any of them) or any term or provision thereof. 

12. Condition of Loan Parties. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate
means of, obtaining from the Loan Parties and any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Loan Parties and any such other guarantors as such Guarantor
requires, and that no Secured Party has any duty, and no Guarantor is relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Loan Party or any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same). 

13. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation,
Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized, at any
time or from time to time, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any
Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Lender under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities,
deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Credit
Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly
to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees to promptly notify the REIT after
any such set-off and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

14. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been obtained; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation

  

 6 








 
enforceable in accordance with its terms; (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does
not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected; and (d) all
consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any Governmental Authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in
full force and effect. In addition, each Guarantor represents and warrants that (x) until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available
funds and all Commitments are terminated, such Guarantor will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in
the Credit Agreement, and so that no Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; and (y) an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Loan Documents has been made available to a senior officer of
such Guarantor and such officer is familiar with the contents thereof. 
 15. Indemnification and Survival. Without
limitation on any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of any Secured Party under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, to the full extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party from and against,
and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) that may be suffered or incurred by such
Secured Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms. The obligations of the
Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 

16. Guaranty Enforceable by Administrative Agent. This Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, in
each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (to the extent required under the Credit Agreement) and that no other Secured Party will have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize upon the
security to be granted by the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon the terms of this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents. It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 16 is solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

17. Obligations of Guarantors Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Person
and whether or not any other Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Person may be joined in any such action or actions. 
  

 7 








 18. Subordination of Indebtedness Held by Guarantors. Any indebtedness of any Loan
Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations, and such indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent,
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any
Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument
evidencing any indebtedness of any Loan Party to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise) until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds and all Commitments are terminated; provided, that if any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights prior to such time, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or, if the Loan Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing. Upon the indefeasible payment in full in immediately available funds of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty and
the termination of all Commitments, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations until all Indebtedness of the Borrowers held by such Guarantor
shall be paid in full. 
 19. Additional Guarantors. Any Subsidiary of the REIT that is required to become a party to
this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex I. 

20. Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of
contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a
“Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the
date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who either has not made any payments or has made payments in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other 

 

 8 








 
Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate
amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of
all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time
of each computation; provided, that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately
available funds and all Commitments are terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 20 against any other Guarantor shall be
expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 20 (i) each Guarantor’s
“Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the
“Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount
by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising
under this Guaranty) on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 20, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have
no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash and all Commitments are terminated. Each of the
Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right
against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders. 

21. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent. 
 22. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted
for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty. 
 23.
Governing Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York. This Guaranty shall (a) bind the Guarantor and its successors and assigns,
provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the benefit of the Secured

  

 9 








 
Parties and their respective successors and assigns and the Lenders may, in accordance with Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement and without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts of the State of New York sitting in
New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest
extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith. Each of the parties hereto (x) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, and (y) consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts, in the manner provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, to
(A) in the case of the Administrative Agent, at the address provided in the Credit Agreement and (B) in the case of a Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below. All notices and other communications to any
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and delivered in the manner set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of
any Secured Party, as provided in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature below. 

24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.
