material liability on the part of such Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of such Indemnitor contemplated herein, or which would be

be deemed to limit the right of Indemnitee to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any out-of-pocket costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Indemnitee and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Indemnitee, or any order, consent decree or settlement
relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to any Property or any portion thereof. 

(b) Additional Indemnitor Waivers. To the extent California law applies, in addition to and not in lieu of any other
provisions of this Agreement, each Indemnitor represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 (i) The obligations of
each Indemnitor under this Agreement shall be performed without demand by Indemnitee and shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operating Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Each Indemnitor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code
Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so such Indemnitor shall be liable even if neither the Company nor the Class B Member had no liability at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Each
Indemnitor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so such Indemnitor’s liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of the Class B Member, the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries. Each Indemnitor hereby waives the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and agrees that such Indemnitor’s
obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Agreement which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Each Indemnitor hereby waives the benefits of any right
of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties and any other rights of sureties and guarantors thereunder. 

(ii) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, each Indemnitor hereby waives all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies by Indemnitee even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed or otherwise impaired such Indemnitor’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Indemnitor hereby authorizes and empowers Indemnitee to exercise, in its sole and absolute
discretion, any right or remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be 

  
 -16- 

 
available, since it is the intent and purpose of each Indemnitor that the obligations under this Agreement shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Indemnitor 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 other right of recourse to or with respect to the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, any general partner, member or other constituent of the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, any other person
obligated to Indemnitee with respect to the matters set forth herein, or the assets or property of any of the foregoing until the Redemption Price has been paid in full and all obligations of the Class B Member, the Company and its Affiliates under
the Transaction Documents have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by the Company or others to Indemnitee with respect to such obligations could be deemed a preference
under the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the foregoing, subject to the foregoing limitations, each Indemnitor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and each Indemnitor
hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Indemnitee may have against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

(iii) In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Indemnitor hereby subordinates any and all
indebtedness of the Class B Member, the Company and each Subsidiary now or hereafter owed to any Indemnitor to all the indebtedness of the Class B Member and the Company to Indemnitee and agrees with Indemnitee that until the Redemption Price has
been paid in full and all obligations owed to Indemnitee under the Transaction Documents have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by the Company or others to Indemnitee
with respect to such obligations could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code, no Indemnitor shall demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or claim
any offset or other reduction of any Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to an Indemnitor by the Class B Member, the Company or any Subsidiary or another guarantor prior
to payment in full of the Redemption Price, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Indemnitee and shall forthwith be paid to Indemnitee to be credited and applied to the Unrecovered Capital. Further, no Indemnitor shall have any right
of recourse against Indemnitee by reason of any action Indemnitee may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Indemnitor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the obligations owed to Indemnitee under the Transaction Documents, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Operating
Agreement, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Indemnitee’s rights against such Indemnitor under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, notice of
acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Transaction Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the
incurring by the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of any obligation or indebtedness. 

  
 -17- 

 (iv) Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the same limitations set
forth above, each Indemnitor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to any Indemnitor by reason of California Civil Code Sections
2787 to 2855, inclusive, including any and all rights or defenses such Indemnitor may have by reason of protection afforded to the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to any of the obligations of any Indemnitor under
this Agreement by reason of a nonjudicial foreclosure or pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the obligations of the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Indemnitor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726 (which Section, if such Indemnitor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise
require Indemnitee to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment could be obtained for a deficiency). 
 (v)
Likewise, each Indemnitor waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to such Indemnitor under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433; and (ii) any rights or defenses such Indemnitor may have with respect to its
obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Indemnitee. 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.

This MANDATORY REDEMPTION GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is executed as of February 27, 2015, by AMERICAN
REALTY CAPITAL HOSPITALITY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HOSPITALITY TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation, having an office at c/o American Realty Capital, 405 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10022, Nicholas S. Schorsch, an individual, William M. Kahane, an individual, Edward M. Weil, Jr., an individual, and Peter M. Budko, an individual (each of the foregoing, a “Guarantor”, and collectively,

Connection Drive, Irving, Texas 75039 (collectively, and together with their respective successors and/or assigns, the “Class A Member”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Class A Member is prepared to make an investment (the “Investment”) in ARC Hospitality
Portfolio II Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), in the amount of $99,799,180.00 as described in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, of even date
herewith, among the Class A Member, American Realty Capital Hospitality Portfolio Member, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Class B Member”), and William G. Popeo, as special member (as the same may be amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Operating Agreement; 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges receipt and approval of copies of the Operating Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it owns, either directly or indirectly, a beneficial interest in the Class B Member and, as a result
of such beneficial interest, will receive substantial economic and other benefits from the Class A Member making the Investment in the Company; and 

WHEREAS, the Class A Member is unwilling to make the Investment or to enter into the Operating Agreement unless Guarantors agree to
provide the indemnification, representations, warranties, covenants and other matters described in this Guaranty for the benefit of the Class A Member. 

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Class A Member to make the Investment, enter into the Operating Agreement and become a Member of
the Company, 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) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Class A Member and its successors and assigns the payment and
performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Each 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) the obligation of the Company to redeem or cause to be redeemed the Class A Member’s Interest in full, and to pay in full the Redemption Price, upon the occurrence of a
Prohibited Transfer or upon the Class B Member ceasing to be Controlled, directly or indirectly, by ARC OP, or ARC OP ceasing to be Controlled, directly or indirectly by the REIT, or the REIT ceasing to be Controlled, directly or indirectly, by AR
Capital, LLC (excluding any Prohibited Transfer or change in Control resulting from the foreclosure by any Senior Lender on any of the Properties or any of the other collateral for the Senior Loans that is not consented to by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries); (ii) the obligation of the Company to pay to the Class A Member the QCR Redemption Amount in respect of any Qualified Capital Raise upon the consummation of such Qualified Capital Raise; and (iii) the obligation of
the Company to pay to the Class A Member all of the Net Financing Proceeds from the incurrence of any Additional Mezzanine Loan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries upon such incurrence; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Guarantors be liable under this Agreement for an aggregate amount in excess of the sum of (i) the Redemption Price plus (ii) all amounts due to the Class A Member
pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the
other Transaction Documents, then Class A Member shall not be deemed to have waived any right which the Class A Member 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 Redemption Price or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the obligations owed to the Class A Member in accordance with the Transaction 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 any Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by any Guarantor and after (if such
Guarantor is a natural person) such Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s estate and such 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 any Guarantor to the Class A Member with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by the Class A Member and
any subsequent holder of the Class A Member’s Interest and shall not be discharged by the assignment of all or part of such Interest. 

  
 -2- 

 Section 1.3 Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed
Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantors to the Class A Member hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of the Class A Member, the
Company, any Subsidiary or any other party against the Class B Member 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 Guarantors. If all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by the Class A Member 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 the Class A
Member at the Class A Member’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 the Class A Member (and each Guarantor hereby
waives any rights which such Guarantor may have to require the Class A Member), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantors hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Company or others liable for the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, including, without limitation, any general partner of any of the foregoing which is a partnership, (ii) declare a Changeover Event, (iii) enforce the Class A Member’s rights against any
collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the obligations owed to the Class A Member under the Operating Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (iv) enforce the Class A Member’s rights against any other
guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any general partner of any of the foregoing which is a partnership, (v) join the Class B Member, the Company or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any
action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (vi) exhaust any remedies available to the Class A Member under the Transaction Documents, or (vii) 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 the Class A Member by virtue of California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, and 2850. The
Class A Member shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Section 1.6 Waivers. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of copies of the Operating Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances (including advances of Protective Capital) made by the Class A Member to the Company, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment of any Transaction
Document or extension of the Mandatory Redemption Date, (iv) the occurrence of any breach by the Class B Member or the Company under the Operating Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the declaration of a Changeover Event,
(v) the Class A Member’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vi) protest, proof of non-payment or default by the

 ARTICLE 3 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

To induce the Class A Member to enter into the Transaction Documents and to invest in the Company, each Guarantor represents and warrants
to the Class A Member as follows: 
 Section 3.1 Benefit. Each Guarantor is an Affiliate of the Class B Member, is
the owner of a direct or indirect interest in the Class B Member 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. Each Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records
regarding, the financial condition of the Class B Member, the Company and the Subsidiaries and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; however, such
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 the Class A Member. Neither the Class A Member nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to any Guarantor in order to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty. 

Section 3.4 Each Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and
the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, each Guarantor (a) is and intends to remain solvent, (b) has and intends to have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and
(c) has and intends to 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 each 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 such 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 such Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to such Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal
and binding obligation of each 

  
 -7- 

 
Guarantor and is enforceable against such 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 No Plan Assets. No Guarantor sponsors, is obligated to contribute to, or is itself
an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of any Guarantor constitutes or will, until the Redemption Price has been paid in full (subject to the terms of
Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) no Guarantor is a “governmental
plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Guarantor are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date

Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA). 

Section 3.7 ERISA. No Guarantor shall 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 the Class A Member of any of its rights under the Operating Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA. 
 Section 3.8 Survival. All representations and warranties made by each 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 the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any one or more of the Guarantors, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of
such Person 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 the applicable Guarantor or Guarantors. The Guarantor
Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of any one or both of the Guarantors against the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of payment of all
or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor or the Guarantors. Until the Redemption Price shall have been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), no Guarantor shall
receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from e Class B Member, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or any other Person obligated to the Class A Member any amount upon the Guarantor Claims. 

  
 -8- 

 Section 4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving any Guarantor as a debtor, the Class A Member 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. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Class A Member.
Should the Class A Member receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Guarantor and which, as between any the Class B Member or the Company and any one or both of the
Guarantors, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to the Class A Member in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of the Class A Member to the extent
that such payments to the Class A Member 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 the Class A Member 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 any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, such Guarantor agrees
to hold in trust for the Class A Member an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received and not previously paid to the Class A Member, 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 the Class A Member, and such Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the
Class A Member. 
 Section 4.4 Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment
liens, charges or other encumbrances upon the assets of the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries 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 Person’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of any Guarantor or the Class A Member presently exist or are hereafter created
or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Class A Member, until the Redemption Price shall have been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), no Guarantor shall
(i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, 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 the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries held by any Guarantor.

 Section 6.13 Cooperation. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Class A
Member and its successors and assigns may (subject to Section 9.2 of the Operating Agreement) (i) sell this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents and/or the Class A Member’s Interest to one or more investors,
(ii) deposit this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents with a trust, which trust may sell certificates to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the trust assets, or (iii) otherwise sell the Class A Member’s
Interest or one or more interests therein to investors (the transactions referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) are hereinafter each referred to as “Secondary Market Transaction”). Each Guarantor shall at no cost
to any Guarantor, cooperate with the Class A Member in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall provide (or cause the Class B Member, the Company and/or the Subsidiaries to provide) such information and materials as may be
reasonably requested by the Class A Member in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction. 
 Section 6.14
Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. If at any time any payment of the Class A Return, the Unrecovered Capital or any other amount payable by the Company or the Class B Member under the Operating Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or the Class B Member or otherwise, Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 Section 6.15 Exculpation of Certain Persons.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, no direct or indirect shareholder, partner, member, principal, Affiliate (other than the Class B Member and the Company), employee, officer,

performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations, or undertakings of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and by acceptance hereof, the Class A Member for itself and its successors and assigns irrevocably waives any and all right to sue
for, seek or demand any such damages, money judgment, deficiency judgment or personal judgment against any Related Party under or by reason of or in connection with this Guaranty; except that any Related Party that is a party to any Transaction
Document or any other separate written guaranty, indemnity or other agreement given by such Related Party in connection with the Investment shall remain fully liable therefor and the foregoing provisions shall not operate to limit or impair the
liabilities and obligations of such Related Parties or the rights and remedies of the Class A Member thereunder.

 -16- 

 
shall include any and all attorneys’, paralegal and law clerk fees and disbursements, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels,
incurred or paid by the Class A Member in protecting its interest in the Company (including any Protective Capital advances by the Class A Member) and/or in enforcing its rights hereunder. 

Section 6.17 Joint and Several. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are joint and several. 

Section 6.18 Certain California State Specific Provisions.  

(a) To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of the Class A Member 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 the Class A Member and
arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to the Class A Member, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as
defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to any Property or any portion thereof. 

(b) To the extent California law applies, in addition to and not in lieu of any other provisions of this Guaranty (provided, however, that in
the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 6.18(b) and the other provisions of this Guaranty as to any subject matter described in this Section 6.18(b), such other provisions shall
control), each Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 (c) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be
performed without demand by the Class A Member and shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operating Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and without regard to
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing
so such Guarantor shall be liable even if neither the Company nor the Class B Member had no liability at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all benefits and
defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so such Guarantor’s liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Guarantor hereby waives the
benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that such Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not
referred to in this Guaranty which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to
guarantors or sureties and any other rights of sureties and guarantors thereunder. 

  
 -17- 

 (d) In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, each Guarantor hereby
waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Class A Member even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed or otherwise
impaired such 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. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Class A
Member to exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any right or remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of each Guarantor that the obligations under this Guaranty shall be absolute,
independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each 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 other right of recourse to or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any general partner, member or other constituent of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, any other person obligated to the Class A Member with respect to the matters set forth herein, or the assets or property of any of the foregoing until the Redemption Price has been paid in full and all obligations of the Company
and its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by the Company or others to the Class A Member with respect to such
obligations could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the foregoing, subject to the foregoing limitations, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against the Company and each
of its Subsidiaries, and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Class A Member may have against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

(e) In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Company
and each Subsidiary now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor to all the indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Class A Member and agrees with the Class A Member that until the Redemption Price has been paid in full and all
obligations owed to the Class A Member under the Transaction Documents have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by the Company or others to the Class A Member
with respect to such obligations could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code, no Guarantor shall demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or claim any offset or other
reduction of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to an Guarantor by the Company or any Subsidiary or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Redemption
Price, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Class A Member and shall forthwith be paid to the Class A Member to be credited and applied to the Unrecovered Capital. Further, no Guarantor shall have any right of recourse
against the Class A Member by reason of any action the Class A Member may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the obligations owed to the Class A Member under the Transaction Documents, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with
respect to the Operating Agreement, this Guaranty, or any other Transaction Document which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve the Class A Member’s rights against such Guarantor under this Guaranty, including,
but not limited to, notice 

  
 -18- 

 
of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Transaction Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of
foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any obligation or indebtedness. 

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the same limitations set forth above, each Guarantor waives (i) all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to any Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, including any and all rights or
defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty by reason of a nonjudicial foreclosure or pursuant to the
antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits
under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726 (which Section, if such Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require the Class A Member to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment
could be obtained for a deficiency). 
 (g) Likewise, each Guarantor waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to such
Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433; and (ii) any rights or defenses such Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by the Class A Member. 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.
