11th Floor, New York, New York 10019 (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).



WITNESSETH:




     A. Pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, executed by the
entities listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein
(referred to herein individually as a “Borrower” and collectively as “Borrowers”), and payable to
the order of Lender in the original principal amount of One Hundred Ten Million Eight Hundred
Ninety-Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($110,899,000.00) (together with all renewals,
modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “Note”), Borrowers have 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 as of the date hereof, between Borrowers 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 defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.



     B. The Loan is secured by, among other things, mortgages, deeds of trust and deeds to secure
debt, each dated as of the date hereof (as each may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, individually a “Security Instrument” and collectively the
“Security Instruments”), each executed and delivered by a Borrower, as mortgagor, trustor or
grantor, as applicable, in favor of Lender, as mortgagee, beneficiary or grantee, as applicable,
which Security Instruments encumber the parcels of real property listed on Schedule 1
attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with the buildings, structures and other
improvements now or hereafter located thereon (referred to herein individually as a “Property” and
collectively as the “Properties”).



     C. The Loan is evidenced, secured or governed by other instruments and documents executed in
connection with the Loan (together with the Note, the Loan Agreement and the Security Instruments,
collectively, the “Loan Documents”).



     D. Lender was not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrowers unless
Guarantor unconditionally guarantees payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed
Obligations (as herein defined).



     E. Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in each Borrower and, as a
result of such interests, Guarantor will derive substantial economic and other benefits from the
making of the Loan to Borrowers.

     F. This Guaranty is in addition to and independent of that certain Guaranty of Recourse
Obligations dated as of the date hereof, made by Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the “Other Guarantor”), in favor of Lender.



     NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrowers, and to extend such

Pool 1

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

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 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 1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and

with any Property, (e) the occurrence of (i) any breach by any Borrower or Operating Lessee of any
of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (ii) an
Event of Default, (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part
thereof, (g) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of
any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by any
Borrower, or (i) 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, or any
documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations
and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed. In addition, to the extent permitted in Section

and relinquishes the benefits of the one action rule under Section 40.430 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes.



     Section 1.8 Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to
timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender,

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.

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

of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty and the
Guaranteed Obligations shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.

anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under

the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any
other form of reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any or

indirect interest in each Borrower and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit
from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.




          (b) Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently
reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of each Borrower and is familiar with
the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note

          (c) 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.

to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor (i) is and will be

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.




          (f) Net Worth and Liquidity. As of the date of this Guaranty, Guarantor has a Net
Worth (as hereinafter defined) in excess of $211,475,000.00 and has cash and other liquid assets
totaling at least $10,000,000.00.




     Section 3.2 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 each Borrower or Operating Lessee to
Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and
whether the obligations of any Borrower or Operating Lessee thereon be direct, contingent, primary,
secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and whether such debts or liabilities



Pool 1




11









 




be evidenced by any 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 any Borrower or Operating Lessee (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 remain outstanding,
Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any Borrower, Operating Lessee
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 any Borrower and Guarantor or as between Operating Lessee 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 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 shall 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 any Borrower’s assets or Operating Lessee’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 such Borrower’s
assets or Operating Lessee’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 (a) exercise or
enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against any Borrower or Operating Lessee, or (b)
foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings
(judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement



Pool 1





12









 




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 any Borrower or Operating
Lessee 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 Borrowers and Operating Lessee
granting liens or security interests in any of their assets to any Person other than Lender.

illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this

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

executed by the party or parties against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.



     Section 6.6 Parties Bound; Assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and shall

Transaction and shall cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any of the Rating Agencies
involved in any Secondary Market Transaction. Guarantor shall provide such

operations that Lender may reasonably request. Lender shall be permitted to share all such
information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and
other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan and the Loan Documents or the applicable
Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided by Guarantor to
Lender, including any and all financial statements provided to Lender pursuant to Section
5.2 hereof, may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market
Transaction and thus various investors and potential investors may also see some or all of the
information. 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. Any reasonable
cost or expense incurred by Guarantor (other than attorneys’ fees and costs of financial
statements) in order to provide the information required under this Section 6.13 shall be
paid by Lender.
