NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.         Completion.

 

(a)          Guarantor
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”):
(i) Completion of the Project and Construction Work in accordance, in all material respects, with the terms and conditions set
forth in the Master Loan Agreement on or prior to the Completion Date, (ii) that the Mortgaged Property shall be free and clear
of all liens and filed notices of claims and demands (unless the same shall be bonded over or otherwise discharged in accordance
with the Master Loan Agreement) of any and all contractors, subcontractors, laborers, suppliers, mechanics or materialmen under
any contract or subcontract for the supply of labor and/or materials with respect to the Project and Construction Work, (iii) the
payment, in accordance, in all material respects, with the terms and conditions of the Master Loan Agreement and any applicable
contract entered into by Borrower in connection with the Project and the Construction Work, of all costs and expenses of the Project
and Construction Work, including without limitation, costs for labor, marketing, development, materials, legal, taxes, equipment,
fixtures and architectural and engineering fees (irrespective of the amounts that are set forth in the Approved Budget for each
line item or the absence of any such cost from the Approved Budget) but excluding from Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty but not under the Carry Guaranty the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Carry Guaranty) (such Guaranteed Obligations
as defined in the Carry Guaranty, the “Carry Obligations”) and excluding all principal and interest payable
under the Loan from the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty; and (iv) Borrower’s obligation to make Equity Deposits
pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Master Loan Agreement when the Loan is Out of Balance.

 

    	 	-2- 	 

     

    

 

(b)          In
the event of any breach by Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor promptly upon receipt of a written notice thereof
from Lender shall diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the breach of the Guaranteed Obligations at Guarantor’s sole
cost and expense including, without limitation, paying and discharging any and all direct and indirect costs payable under Section
1(a) that Borrower failed to pay and performing the other Guaranteed Obligations that remain unperformed (expressly including
the payment of all costs and expenses associated with such performance). If Guarantor shall fail in a timely manner to perform
any Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, Lender may, at its option, perform on behalf of Guarantor any such Guaranteed Obligations,
in which event Guarantor shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all out of pocket sums expended by Lender (except to the extent resulting
from any Lender Party’s gross negligence or willful miscondeuct) in the performance of such Guaranteed Obligations to the
extent in excess of the Unfunded Construction Loan Proceeds (as defined below).

 

2.         Completion
Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Guarantor shall at any time default in the performance of, or disclaim,
its obligations under Section 1 above, or if Lender shall elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to demand payment
of the Completion Costs (as hereinafter defined) by Guarantor, Guarantor shall, at Lender’s election and upon demand by Lender,
pay to Lender an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between: (x) the Completion Costs, and (y) the sum of the unfunded
portions of the Building Loan and the Project Loan (specifically excluding, however, unfunded amounts of the Building Loan and
the Project Loan that are budgeted for the payment of leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and tenant improvement
work) and all Equity Deposits and School Cost Payments held by Lender and School Cost Payments anticipated to be made under the
School Unit Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Unfunded Construction Loan Proceeds”). As used herein,
the term “Completion Costs” means all of Lender’s direct and indirect costs incurred or estimated
to be incurred in connection with the Completion of the Construction Work as required of Borrower under the Master Loan Agreement,
including, without being limited to, Hard Costs, Soft Costs and School Costs (and specifically including, without limitation: all
costs estimated to be incurred to sell the School Unit and the Subdivided Residential Units; all real estate taxes, insurance premiums,
Operating Expenses and interest on the Loan that would have become payable during the estimated construction period), all irrespective
of the amounts set forth in the Approved Budget for each line item and irrespective of the absence of any particular item of direct
or indirect costs from the Approved Budget and irrespective of whether Guarantor’s obligations under the Carry Guaranty have
been terminated (but without duplication of amounts payable and actually paid by Guarantor under the Carry Guaranty). Following
such demand by Lender for payment by Guarantor of the Completion Costs to Lender and the actual payment by Guarantor of the amount
demanded by Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 (expressly including all amounts set forth in any
Demand Notice in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3(a) hereof sent prior to such payment by Guarantor), Guarantor
shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 3(a) of this Guaranty. For the purpose of
this Guaranty, the Completion Costs shall, be deemed to be an amount equal to the amount of such direct and indirect costs as reasonably
estimated by a third party construction consultant retained by Lender (the “Construction Consultant”)
as of the date Lender elects to demand payment of the Completion Costs under this Section 2; provided, however, if such
payment is not made by Guarantor within ninety (90) days following Lender’s written demand therefor, Lender may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, cause the Construction Consultant to re-calculate the Completion Costs as of the date of such re-calculation
at any reasonable time following the expiration of said ninety (90) day period. For purposes of this Guaranty, Lender’s direct
and indirect costs shall be deemed to include all Hard Costs, Soft Costs, School Costs, real estate taxes, insurance premiums and
operating expenses (but without duplication of amounts payable and actually paid by Guarantor under the Carry Guaranty) reasonably
estimated by the Construction Consultant to be required to be incurred in order to Complete the Project and the Construction Work
in accordance with the Approved Plans and the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Guarantor further agrees that any amount
estimated by the Construction Consultant as aforesaid, and any determination by the Construction Consultant with respect to industry
practices, shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) for purposes of determining Guarantor’s liability hereunder, provided
that the Construction Consultant has made such estimate or determination in good faith. Such payment shall be due no later than
fifteen (15) Business Days following the giving of a written demand therefor from Lender to Guarantor together with interest at
the Default Rate if not paid within said fifteen (15) Business Day period.

3.         General
Obligations.

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees, on not more than fifteen (15) days’
written demand by Lender (a “Demand Notice”) to commence performance of the Guaranteed Obligations set
forth in said notice which Borrower failed to perform when required under the Loan Documents and to diligently pursue performance
thereof to Completion, as described below. Guarantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and
all Losses Lender may suffer or incur in connection with third party claims brought as a result of Guarantor’s performance
of the Guaranteed Obligations. If Guarantor fails to commence and pursue diligently the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations
set forth in said notice within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of a Demand Notice, then, either before or after pursuing any
other remedy of Lender against Guarantor or Borrower and regardless of whether Lender shall ever pursue any such other remedy,
Lender shall have the right to complete all of the Guaranteed Obligations, or call upon any other reputable parties to complete
all of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall have the right to expend such sums as Lender in its discretion deems proper in order
so to complete all of the Guaranteed Obligations. During the course of any construction undertaken by Lender or by any other reputable
party on behalf of Lender, Guarantor shall pay on demand any amounts (except to the extent resulting from any Lender Party’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct) due to the contractor, subcontractors and other material suppliers and for permits and
licenses necessary to Complete the Project and the Construction Work, to the extent in excess of the Unfunded Construction Loan
Proceeds. Lender, at any time prior to Lender performing or causing any Person (other than Borrower or Guarantor) to perform any
Guaranteed Obligations, may require Guarantor to perform or cause to be performed the all work necessary to Complete the Project
and the Construction Work in lieu of Lender or any party engaged by Lender. Guarantor’s obligations in connection with the
Project and the Construction Work shall not be affected by any errors or omissions of Borrower, any contractor, the architect,
any subcontractor, or any agent or employee of any of them (but specifically excluding the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any Lender Party or any Person engaged directly or indirectly by a Lender Party) in design, supervision or performance of the
Construction Work, it being understood that such risk is assumed by Guarantor. The failure of Borrower or any of said parties to
Complete the Construction Work and satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations shall not relieve Guarantor of any liabilities hereunder;
rather, such liability shall be continuing, except as otherwise provided herein, and may be enforced by Lender to the end that
Construction Work shall be Completed and the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied timely subject to and upon the terms and
conditions hereof and of the Master Loan Agreement.

 

    	 	-4- 	 

     

    

 

(b)          Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that it will be impossible to measure accurately the damages to Lender resulting from a breach of the covenants
of Guarantor set forth in Section 1(a) and 1(b) hereto to complete the Guaranteed Obligations; that such breach will
cause irreparable injury to Lender and that Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
agrees that such covenant shall be specifically enforceable against Guarantor, and Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert
any defense denying any of the foregoing in an action for specific performance of the Guaranteed Obligations by Guarantor.

 

(c)          Guarantor
agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Master Loan Agreement, that the Approved Plans and the Approved Budget
may be altered, amended, or modified, and revisions to the Approved Plans and the Approved Budget may be prepared in connection
with the Project and the Construction Work that are not covered by the Approved Plans and the Approved Budget all without notice
to or further consent of Guarantor, and Guarantor will remain bound hereunder (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
shall be deemed to have guaranteed the Completion of the Project and the Construction Work as and when required by the Master Loan
Agreement in accordance with such Approved Plans and the Approved Budget as altered, amended, or modified but subject to and upon
the other terms and conditions hereof), notwithstanding any such alteration, amendment, modification or waiver.

 

(d)          Holdings
must satisfy the financial covenants in Section 12 of the Recourse Guaranty Agreement at all times until all Obligations
of Borrower have been satisfied.

 

(e)          Lender
agrees, by acceptance of this Guaranty, to make the undisbursed proceeds of the Building Loan and the Project Loan (specifically
excluding, however, unfunded amounts budgeted for payment of tenant improvement allowances and tenant improvement work) available
to Guarantor (subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent for Disbursements to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement)
together with all Equity Deposits and School Cost Payments held by Lender for the purposes of paying for Hard Costs, Soft Costs
and School Costs, as contemplated under the Building Loan and the Project Loan, in connection with Completion of the Project and
the Construction Work and performance of any other Guaranteed Obligations and Guarantor’s obligation to perform the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be conditioned upon Lender continuing to make such disbursements (subject to the satisfaction of all conditions
precedent for Disbursements to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement), provided (i) that Guarantor cures any Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document which is reasonably susceptible to cure by Guarantor, and (ii) provided that
prior to Lender making any such disbursement, (x) Guarantor shall deposit with Lender all amounts required under Section 3.11
of the Master Loan Agreement (Balancing; Loan Reserve) such that the Loan will not be Out of Balance (the “Guarantor
Deposit”), and (y) all Draw Requests shall thereafter be funded first from the Guarantor Deposit and then as provided
for in the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditions to disbursement pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall not
be deemed to require that: (i) Guarantor cure any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default which results from a change in
the financial condition of Borrower; or (ii) the following representations and warranties in the Loan Documents be true and correct:
(A) representations and warranties with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or (B) representations and warranties that
are inaccurate because of the existence of the Potential Event of Default or Event of Default which triggered Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder. Guarantor acknowledges that all disbursements of Loan proceeds under this Section 3(e) to Guarantor
shall be treated for all purposes as disbursements of Loan proceeds to Borrower.

 

    	 	-5- 	 

     

    

 

4.         Guarantor’s
Waiver of Notice. Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice
of any payment, liability or obligation to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor
or nonpayment of such liabilities under this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents creating the Guaranteed Obligations and any
suit or taking other action by the Lender against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon or any property which may
be security therefor.

Rights. The Lender may at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, without incurring

to Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor (which term shall include any other party at any time directly or contingently liable
for any of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents) or any affiliate of Borrower or any action taken with respect

    	 	-8- 	 

     

    

 

8.         Subrogation
Waiver/Subordination.

 

(a)          Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in the other Loan Documents or this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
waives until all obligations under the Loan Documents have been paid and performed in full (i) any and all rights of subrogation
(whether arising under contract, 11 U.S.C. §509 or otherwise), to the claims, whether existing now or arising hereafter, the
Lender may have against Borrower, and (ii) any and all rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity against Borrower or any
future guarantors of any obligations under the Loan Documents) which may have heretofore arisen or may hereafter arise in connection
with any guaranty or pledge or grant of any lien or security interest made in connection with any obligations under the Loan Documents.
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the waiver contained in the preceding sentence (the “Subrogation Waiver”)
is given as an inducement to the Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and, in consideration of the Lender’s willingness
to enter into the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees not to amend or modify in any way the Subrogation Waiver without the Lender’s
prior written consent. If any amount that is subject to the Subrogation Waiver shall be paid to Guarantor on account of any claim
set forth at any time when all of the obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been paid or performed in full, such
amount shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the Lender’s benefit, shall be segregated from the other funds of Guarantor
and shall forthwith be paid over to the Lender to be applied in whole or in part by the Lender against such obligations, whether
matured or unmatured. Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed to give to Guarantor any rights of subrogation
or right to participate in any way in the Lender’s rights, title or interest in the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any payments
made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, all such rights of subrogation and participation being hereby expressly waived and released.

 

(b)          In
the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums with respect to any obligation hereby guaranteed or
in the event that for any reason whatsoever Borrower or any subsequent owner of the collateral securing the Loan is now, or shall
hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness together with all
interest thereon, shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, time of payment and in all other respects, to all sums, including
principal, interest and other amounts, at any time owing to the Lender under any of the Loan Documents and that Guarantor shall
not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all such sums owing to the Lender have been paid. Nothing herein contained
is intended or shall be construed to give to Guarantor any right to participate in any way in the right, title or interest of the
Lender in or to the collateral securing the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, all such
rights of participation being hereby expressly waived and released.

Priority. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect the lien or priority of the Mortgage securing the Note, and upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage), the Lender may invoke any remedies it may have under the this
Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, either concurrently or successively and the exercise of any one or more of such remedies
shall not be deemed an exhaustion of such remedy or remedies or a waiver of any other remedy or remedies and shall not be deemed
an election of remedies. The exercise by the Lender of any such remedies shall not release or discharge Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder unless and until the full amount of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage has been fully
paid and satisfied.

in full and are no longer subject to disgorgement under any applicable state or federal creditor rights or bankruptcy laws or the
Loan is indefeasibly paid or satisfied in full (whichever first occurs). No delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any options,
powers or rights, or the partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver of any rights hereunder,
and no modification or amendment of this Guaranty, shall be deemed to be made by the Lender unless the same shall be in writing,
duly signed on behalf of the Lender, and each such waiver (if any) shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved
and shall in no way impair the rights of the Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to the Lender in any other respect at any other
time. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor, Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns, and shall
inure to the benefits of the Lender and its successors or assigns including (without limitation) any other holder at any time of
the Loan Documents.

 

14.        Guarantor’s
Familiarity with the Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that copies of the Loan Documents have been made available to Guarantor
and that Guarantor is familiar with their contents. Guarantor affirmatively agrees that upon any transfer of the Mortgaged Property
in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage, it shall not be necessary for Guarantor to reaffirm its continuing obligations
under this Guaranty, but Guarantor will do so upon request by Lender.

THIS COMPLETION GUARANTY
(this “Completion Guaranty”) is made as of the 22nd day of December, 2017, by TRINITY PLACE HOLDINGS
INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”) to NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY, a public
benefit corporation of the State of New York, having its principal office at 30-30 Thompson Avenue, Long Island City, New York
11101 (“SCA”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, TPHGREENWICH
OWNER LLC (“Developer”) intends to construct a building, the name
of which has not yet been determined (the “Building”), on the site comprised of lots 11 and 13 on New York County
Tax Block 19 (the “Land”); and

 

WHEREAS, Developer
intends to establish a plan of condominium ownership for the Land and the Building; and

 

WHEREAS, SCA and
Developer have entered into that certain School Design, Construction, Funding and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”)
dated December 22, 2017, pursuant to which, inter alia, (i) Developer will perform the School Base Building Work (as such
term is defined in the Agreement), (ii) SCA will provide certain funding for the School Base Building Work and will perform the
School Fit-Out Work, and (iii) upon Substantial Completion (as defined in the Agreement) of the School Unit, SCA will purchase
the School Unit from Developer; and

 

WHEREAS, as an
inducement for SCA to enter into the Agreement, SCA has requested that Guarantor execute and deliver this Completion Guaranty.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor and SCA hereby covenant
and agree as follows:

 

1.          Construction
of the Premises.

 

(a)          If
Developer defaults in the construction of the School Base Building Work or any approved Change Order (each as defined in the Agreement)
in accordance with the applicable construction requirements of the Agreement, in each such case beyond any applicable notice, grace
and/or cure periods as set forth in the Agreement, then upon written demand of SCA (the “Demand Notice”) and
subject to the terms of Section 15 hereof, Guarantor shall (without duplication):

 

(i)             subject
to Force Majeure and SCA Delay (both as defined in the Agreement) but otherwise in accordance with the obligations of Developer
under the Agreement, (x) commence or recommence and diligently pursue, as applicable, the School Base Building Work, such Change
Orders, or any Punch List Items (as defined in the Agreement) relating thereto, as the case may be, until the same are completed
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Agreement or (y) cause the School Base Building Work, such Change Orders, or
the Punch List Items relating thereto, as the case may be, to be so commenced or recommenced, as applicable, and to be diligently
pursued until same are completed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Agreement, and, to the extent of Developer’s
obligations therefor under the Agreement, obtain a PCO for the Building (the “Guaranteed Work”); and/or

 

    	 	 	1

     

    

 

(ii)            fully
and punctually pay and discharge any and all unpaid Public School Project Costs as the same become due and payable but only to
the extent, and in the amount by which, such Public School Project Costs exceed the Public School Project Costs Not-to-Exceed Amount,
as and to the extent Developer is obligated to pay for the same pursuant to the Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Construction Costs”), which Guaranteed Construction Costs shall be reduced by the sum of (X) the cost of any Change Order
for which SCA is responsible pursuant to the Agreement, (Y) any costs related to SCA Delays that SCA is responsible for pursuant
to the Agreement, and (Z) any costs otherwise incurred in respect of Public School Project Costs as a result of a breach by SCA
of the Agreement; and/or

 

(iii)           in
the event that SCA terminates the Agreement, the Master Lease, and the Sublease pursuant to the final sentence of Section 12.04(a)
of the Agreement, reimburse SCA for all Public School Project Costs paid by SCA to Developer and not reimbursed by Developer.

 

The obligations set forth in Section 1(a)
are referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in no event shall the “Guaranteed Obligations” include any obligations (for payment, performance or otherwise) in respect
of (1) any SCA Pre- and Post-Turnover Work, or (2) any changes to the School Base Building Work which are not made by Developer
and which are made after Developer’s construction lender exercises any remedies under its construction loan, which remedies
result in Developer no longer controlling the Project.

 

(b)          If
Guarantor elects to commence or recommence, as applicable, and diligently pursue the Guaranteed Work pursuant to clause (x) or
(y) in Section 1(a)(i) above, then:

 

(i)           Guarantor
shall provide written notice of such election to SCA not later than the twentieth (20th) day following receipt of such
Demand Notice from SCA;

 

(ii)          subject
to Force Majeure and SCA Delay, Guarantor shall, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such Demand Notice, commence or recommence,
as applicable, the Guaranteed Work (or cause same), and thereafter shall diligently pursue such Guaranteed Work (or cause same
to be pursued) until same has been completed in accordance with the Agreement;

 

(iii)         so
long as Guarantor is not in default of its obligations under this Completion Guaranty beyond any applicable grace or cure period,
SCA shall not exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Agreement or this Completion Guaranty;

 

    	 	 	2

     

    

 

(iv)         Guarantor
shall be entitled to receive, and SCA shall pay to Guarantor, any Public School Project Cost payable by SCA in accordance with
the Agreement and/or any documents executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all Public School Project Costs
up to the Public School Project Costs Not-to-Exceed Amount, Change Order costs for which SCA is responsible and costs related to
SCA Delay, all in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, in the same manner as though Guarantor were Developer thereunder
and assuming for purposes hereof and thereof that Guarantor shall have the same rights and obligations as Developer thereunder;
and

 

(v)           in
the event that Guarantor engages any contractors with respect to the Guaranteed Work, other than the contractors engaged by Developer
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, such contractors shall be subject to the prior approval of SCA, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and the engagement of such contractor shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of the Agreement.

 

2.          Guarantee
Absolute.

 

(a)          Subject
to the terms of Section 15 hereof, Guarantor guarantees the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any law, statute or regulation
now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting or purporting to affect in any manner any of the terms of the Guaranteed
Obligations or the rights or remedies of SCA with respect thereto. This is not a guaranty of payment of any monetary indebtedness
of Developer to SCA evidenced by a note or other similar instrument.

 

(b)          Except
as otherwise provided in Section 15 hereof, the liability of Guarantor under this Completion Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional,
and shall not be affected, released, terminated, discharged or impaired, in whole or in part, by any or all of the following:

 

(i)           any
other completion guaranty now or hereafter executed by Guarantor or any other guarantor or the release of any other guarantor from
liability for the payment, performance or observance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations on the part of Guarantor to be paid,
performed or observed, as applicable, whether by operation of law or otherwise; or

 

(ii)          any
lack of genuineness, regularity, validity, legality or enforceability, or the voidableness of the Agreement or any other agreement
or instrument relating thereto as against Developer and its obligations thereunder;

 

(iii)         any
dealings or transactions between SCA and Developer, whether or not Guarantor shall be a party to or cognizant of the same;

 

(iv)         any
bankruptcy, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, trusteeship, or dissolution of or affecting Developer;

 

(v)          any
rights, powers or privileges Developer may now or hereafter have against any person, entity or collateral in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

    	 	 	3

     

    

 

(vi)         any
notice of the creation, renewal or extension of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by SCA upon this
Completion Guaranty.

 

3.          Representations
and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants the following as of the date hereof:

 

(a)          Guarantor
is a duly organized, validly existing [corporation] in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power,
authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Completion Guaranty and to perform fully and completely all of its obligations
hereunder.

 

(b)          The
execution, delivery and performance of this Completion Guaranty by Guarantor has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action and will not violate any provision of any law, regulation, order or decree of any governmental authority, bureau or agency
or of any court binding on Guarantor, or any provision of the code of regulations of Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking
or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or which is binding upon Guarantor or any of its property or assets, and will not result
in the imposition or creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property or assets pursuant
to the provisions of any of the foregoing.

 

(c)          This
Completion Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized signatory of the Guarantor and constitutes a legal,
valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies
to any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and doctrines of equity affecting the availability of specific enforcement as a remedy.

 

(d)          All
necessary resolutions, consents, approvals and authorizations of any person or entity required in connection with the execution
and delivery of this Completion Guaranty have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect.

 

4.          Waivers.
Guarantor expressly waives only the following:

 

(a)          notice
of acceptance of this Completion Guaranty;

 

(b)          promptness,
diligence, and presentment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)          except
as may be expressly set forth in this Completion Guaranty, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of
default and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or this Completion Guaranty;

 

(d)          except
for the notices required under this Completion Guaranty, any demand for payment under this Completion Guaranty;

 

(e)          the
right to interpose all substantive and procedural defenses of the law of guaranty, indemnification and suretyship, except the defenses
of prior payment or performance, or cure, bonding over or other contest in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Agreement,
by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations that Guarantor is called upon to pay or perform under this Completion Guaranty;

 

    	 	 	4

     

    

 

(f)           the
right to interpose any set-off or counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims and the defense of payment or performance in
full) of any nature or description in any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of SCA arising hereunder or with respect
to this Completion Guaranty; provided, however, such limitation shall not prohibit Guarantor from bringing a separate action for
any such set-off or counterclaim; and

 

(g)          any
right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Developer.

 

5.          Bankruptcy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts or other obligations that
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations that would be owed by, or required to be performed by, Developer under the Agreement
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
involving Developer. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Guarantor’s obligation to make payment or otherwise perform
in accordance with this Completion Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, stayed,
released or limited in any manner by any impairment, modification, change, release, limitation or stay of the liability of Developer
or its estate in bankruptcy or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision
of the U.S. bankruptcy code or other statute or from the decision of any court interpreting any of the same.

 

6.          Currency

of America in immediately available funds to SCA.

 

7.          Amendment
in Writing. This Completion Guaranty represents the entire agreement between Guarantor and SCA with respect to the matters
set forth herein. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Completion Guaranty or consent to any departure by Guarantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by Guarantor and SCA, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

8.          Remedies.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Completion Guaranty are independent of Developer’s obligations under the Agreement,
and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against or by the Guarantor to enforce this Completion Guaranty,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against or by Developer or whether Developer is joined in any such action or actions.
Any one or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor either in the same action, if any,
brought against Developer or in separate actions, as often as SCA, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.

others in accordance with the terms of this Section 10 additional or substituted parties to whom notices should be sent hereunder.

 

11.         Termination
of Guaranty; Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)          Guarantor’s

accordance with the applicable provisions of the Agreement; (iii) the default beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods
by SCA of its obligations under the Agreement; or (iv) the termination of the Agreement pursuant to the provisions thereof, except
to the extent such termination is caused by a default by Developer for which the Agreement provides for termination, in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any such automatic termination, SCA shall confirm such termination in writing
to Guarantor within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, but no failure by SCA to confirm such termination shall be
deemed to negate any such termination.

 

(b)          This
Completion Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by SCA and its successors and permitted assigns. Wherever in this Completion Guaranty reference is made to Guarantor
or SCA, the same shall be deemed to refer also to the then successor or permitted assign of Guarantor or SCA. Effective upon an
assignment pursuant to Section 11(c)(ii) below, the successor “Guarantor” shall be deemed the “Guarantor”
hereunder for all intents and purposes and the predecessor “Guarantor” shall be relieved of any and all liability under
this Completion Guaranty accruing after the date of such assignment.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the School Base Building Work is completed:

 

(i)           SCA
shall not have the right to assign this Completion Guaranty without the prior written consent of Guarantor, and any purported assignment

Guaranty to any assignee of the Agreement permitted in accordance with Section 15.07(b) thereof: (A) with the consent of Guarantor,
if Guarantor’s prior written consent is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 15.07(b) of the Agreement, and
(B) without the consent of Guarantor, if Guarantor’s consent to the assignment of the Agreement is not required under Section
15.07 (b) of the Agreement, so long as (1) prior to or simultaneously with such assignment, such assignee shall assume in writing
the obligations of SCA hereunder, and (2) SCA shall have assigned, and such assignee shall have assumed, the Agreement; and

 

    	 	 	7

     

    

 

(ii)          Guarantor
shall not have the right to assign this Completion Guaranty without the prior written consent of SCA, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing clause shall be null and void as against
