or indirect membership interests in Borrower except as otherwise set forth in Section 8 hereof. Any violation of the terms hereof

    7 

     

    

(j)

6.           
Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a)         
Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Pledgor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor
or in its own name, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement,
to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable
to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby gives Lender
and any officer or agent thereof, as such attorney-in-fact, the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without notice to or assent
by Pledgor, to do the following: (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of
any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and
receipt for any and all monies, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral; (iii) to endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of monies
due under any Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of the Collateral;
(v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to pay or discharge taxes,
liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (vii) to settle, compromise
or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender
may deem appropriate; and (viii) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, vote, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral, in accordance with Section 9 hereof, as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender’s option and Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
acts and things which Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender’s
security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Pledge Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might
do.

    8 

     

    

         
Any and all such amounts received by Lender as attorney-in-fact
for Pledgor shall be held by Lender as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or, at Lender’s election shall be applied
to the reduction of any Obligation then outstanding, in such order as Lender may elect. Pledgor hereby ratifies, to the extent
permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b)         
The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only
for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Pledgor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

(c)         
Pledgor also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in
Section 9 of this Pledge Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to
the Collateral.

7.           
Performance by Lender of Pledgor’s Obligations. If
Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Lender, as provided for by the terms of this
Pledge Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable
expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
shall be payable by Pledgor to Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.

8.           
Permitted Sale of Interests in the Borrower. 

(a)       Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Note to the contrary, Pledgor may sell all or any portion of its Interests to the extent permitted by,
and is strict conformance with, the Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, upon such sale of any such Interests,
all Net Sale Proceeds (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) shall be paid to Lender for application against the Obligations as provided
in the Note.

    9 

     

    

(b)       Upon
the receipt by Bank of all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Note (whether resulting from the sale or transfer
of any Interests by Pledgor or otherwise), Bank shall, prior to the next Payment Date (as defined in the Note), release its lien
on the Collateral consisting of Interests to the extent of such principal reduction.  That portion of the Interests to be
released in connection with any such payment shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of principal received by Bank by (b)
the original principal amount of the Note, and multiplying the result thereof by the Interest originally pledged by the Borrower
to the Bank hereunder.  Upon payment in full of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note, the Bank will release
all of its liens on all such remaining membership interests. Pledgor shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses
in connection with any such release.

9.           
Remedies, Rights Upon Default.

(a)         
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor expressly agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that in any such event Lender, upon
ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Pledgor may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral,
or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose
of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or
sales, at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale, as provided in Section 9(d) hereof, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment
by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9¬504 (1)(c) of the UCC, need Lender account
for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages, and demands
against Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Lender. Pledgor agrees that Lender need not give more than ten (10) Business Days’ notice of the
time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification
of such matters. Notice of a potential sale or disposition of the Collateral under this Section 9(a) may be combined with a notice
of default in which case the notice period shall be concurrent with and not in additional to any applicable grace period. Pledgor
agrees that the sale of the Collateral by either a public or private sale shall be deemed commercially reasonable. LENDER MAY ENFORCE
ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER WITHOUT RESORT TO PRIOR JUDICIAL PROCESS OR JUDICIAL HEARING AND PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES, RENOUNCES, AND
KNOWINGLY RELINQUISHES ANY LEGAL RIGHT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE REQUIRE LENDER TO ENFORCE ITS 

    10 

     

    

RIGHTS BY JUDICIAL
PROCESS. IN SO PROVIDING FOR A NONJUDICIAL REMEDY, PLEDGOR REPRESENTS THAT SUCH A REMEDY IS RESPONSIVE TO COMMERCIAL NECESSITY
AND IS THE RESULT OF BARGAIN AT ARM’S LENGTH. NOTHING HEREIN IS INTENDED TO PREVENT LENDER FROM RESORTING TO JUDICIAL PROCESS
AT SUCH PARTY’S OPTION.

(b)         
Pledgor agrees to pay all costs of Lender, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any
of Lender’s rights hereunder.

(c)         
Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any Collateral except as provided
in Section 9(a) of this Pledge Agreement.

(d)         
The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon
all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Lender in the following order of priorities:

first,
to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full the expenses of Lender in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization,
incurred or made by Lender in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees;

second,
to Lender in an amount equal to any late charges or other fees and charges due on the Obligations;

third,
to Lender in an amount equal to the then accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Obligations (with such amount being first
applied to interest determined at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note);

fourth,
to Lender in an amount equal to any other Obligations which are then unpaid;

fifth,
to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid principal of the Obligations; and,

finally,
upon payment in full of all of the Obligations, to Pledgor, or its representative or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct,
any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

    11 

     

    

(e)         
Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Interests hereunder,
Lender is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale which it is advised by its counsel
is appropriate (i) in order to avoid violation of applicable law, including, without limitation, procedures restricting the number
of prospective bidders and purchasers, requiring that prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restricting
prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any Interests they purchase, or (ii) in order to obtain any required approval
of such sale or of a purchaser at such sale by any governmental regulatory authority or official. Pledgor further agrees that such
compliance shall not result in any such sale being deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall
Lender be liable or accountable to Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that any Interests are sold in compliance
with any such limitation or restriction.

(f)          
The remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and the exercise
of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the UCC shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other
remedies of Lender. Amongst its remedies, Lender has the right to require specific performance of the terms and provisions of this
Pledge Agreement and may obtain injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(g)         
It is agreed that no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall
operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. All the rights of Lender hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns and all obligations of Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns.

(h)         
Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors,
officers, employees, agents and parent and subsidiary corporations, and each of them, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, or expenses incurred by any of them arising out of or by reason of entering into this Pledge Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement (unless caused solely by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such indemnified parties) and to pay or reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in connection with any investigation, litigation or other proceedings (whether or not Lender is a party thereto) arising
out of or by reason of any of the aforesaid. Lender will promptly give Pledgor written notice of the assertion of any claim which
it believes is subject to the indemnity set forth in this Section 9 and will upon the request of Pledgor promptly furnish Pledgor
with all material in its possession relating to such claim or the defense thereof to the extent that the Lender may do so without
breach of duty to others. Any amounts properly due under this Section 9 shall be payable to Lender immediately upon demand.

10.        
Limitations on Lender’s Obligations Under the Operating
Agreement. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that this Pledge Agreement shall not in any way obligate Lender or any of its successors
and assigns to perform any of the now existing or hereafter accruing, or any of its successors and assigns to perform any of the
now existing or hereafter accruing, obligations of Pledgor under the operating agreement of Borrower and Pledgor agrees to perform
any and all obligations (including the payment of any and all liabilities or assessments) of Pledgor under the operating agreement
of Borrower, whether heretofore or hereafter accruing or arising, all with the same effect as though this Pledge Agreement had
not been executed or delivered by Pledgor.

11.

13.        
Severability. Upon payment in full or other satisfaction
of the Obligations, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that any indemnity
provided hereunder shall survive such payment. Until such time, however, this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
as security for all of the Obligations and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

in writing, signed by Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future
occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly
executed by Pledgor and Lender.

Successor and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement and all obligations
of Pledgor hereunder shall be binding upon the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Pledgor (subject
to any release given by Lender pursuant to Section 8 above) and shall together with the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder,
inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY AT LENDER’S OPTION BE INSTITUTED in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the State of Illinois or in the District Court of the United States in the Northern District of Illinois AND

MEZZANINE
GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

THIS MEZZANINE
GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is executed as of May 3, 2017,
by INLAND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit
of PARKWAY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, an Illinois banking corporation (“Lender”).

W
I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain Mezzanine Promissory Note of even date herewith executed by IRESI VERNON HILLS COMMONS, L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and payable to the order of
Lender in the original principal amount of Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($9,200,000.00) (together with
all renewals, modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “Note”), Borrower has become indebted, and
may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the “Loan”) which is secured by
that certain Mezzanine Pledge and Security Agreement of even date herewith (together with all renewals, modifications, increases
and extensions thereof, the “Security Instrument”) by and between Inland Residential Operating Partnership,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Lender, and further evidenced, secured or governed by other
instruments and documents executed in connection with the Loan (together with the Note and the Security Instrument, the “Loan
Documents”); and

WHEREAS,
Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower and Borrower has executed a certain loan agreement, promissory
note, mortgage and certain other documents, each of even date herewith and in favor of Lender (collectively, the “Mortgage
Loan Documents”), evidencing a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13,800,000.00 (the
“Mortgage Loan”);

WHEREAS,
Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees payment
and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined); and

WHEREAS,
Guarantor will benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.

NOW,
THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time
to time agree to extend under the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

    1 

     

    

ARTICLE
1 - NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

Section
1.1            Guaranty of Obligation. Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations as
and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.

Section
1.2            Definition of Guaranteed Obligations. As
used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means the full and prompt payment to Lender of the principal
and interest, and all other sums that become due under the terms of the Note and the performance of all obligations thereunder,
without deduction by reason of any set-off, defense, or counterclaim, and irrespective of any invalidity thereof, the unenforceability
thereof, or the insufficiency, invalidity, or unenforceability of any security therefor.

Section
1.3            Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an
irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment 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 obligation of Guarantor to Lender
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall
not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.

Section
1.4            Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The
Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or
released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party, against Lender
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
1.5            Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor
shall, within three (3) Business Days of written demand by Lender, and without any further 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 Lender at Lender’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.

    2 

     

    

Section
1.6            No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall
not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights that Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce
the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on
the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any Collateral (as defined
in the Security Instrument) which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any
other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action
seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any Collateral which shall ever have been
given to secure the Loan, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not
be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section
1.7            Waivers.  Guarantor agrees to the
provisions of the Loan Documents, and, except as specifically set forth herein, hereby waives notice of: (a) any loans or advances
made by Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Security Instrument
or of any other Loan Documents, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or
of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection
with the Collateral, (e) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default, (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition
of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure)
of any Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by 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, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations
hereby guaranteed.

Section
1.8            Payment of Expenses.  In the event
that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand
by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred
by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section
shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section
1.9            Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event
that, pursuant to any insolvency, 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 Lender in satisfaction of the
Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor
by Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and
Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such
obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

 

    3 

     

    

Section
1.10        Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates,
during any period in which the Loan remains unsatisfied, any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at
law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim
against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for payment
of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.

Section
1.11        Borrower.  The term “Borrower” as used herein
shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint
venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift
or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower.

ARTICLE
2 - EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES NOT REDUCING

OR DISCHARGING GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS

Guarantor
hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not
be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable,
statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) that Guarantor might otherwise have as a result of or
in connection with any of the following:

Section
2.1            Modifications. Any renewal, extension, increase,
modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Note, the Security Instrument,

parties, pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations or any failure of Lender to notify Guarantor of any such action.

Section
2.2            Adjustment. Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance
or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to Borrower or any Guarantor.

Section
2.3            Condition of Borrower or Guarantor. The insolvency,
bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of Borrower, Guarantor
or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution of Borrower
or Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor, or any changes in the shareholders,
partners or members of Borrower or Guarantor; or any reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor.

    4 

     

    

Section
2.4Invalidity of Guaranteed Obligations. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation the fact that (a) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (b)
the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, (c) the officers or representatives executing
the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess
of their authority, (d) the Guaranteed Obligations violate applicable usury laws, (e) the Borrower has valid defenses, claims or
offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) that render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from
Borrower, (f) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance
of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations,
or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (vii) the Note,
the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic,
it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other person be found not liable
on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason.

Section
2.5            Release of Obligors. Any full or
partial release of the liability of Borrower on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any
other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to
pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged
and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support
of any other party, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding
or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that Lender will look to other
parties to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section
2.6            Other Collateral.  The taking or
accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other
handling or treatment of all or any part of such Collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay,
omission, failure or refusal of Lender (a) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
or (b) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon
any security therefor, or (c) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section
2.9            Unenforceability. The fact that any
collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment
of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable
or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering
into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value
of any of the Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section
2.10        Offset. The Note, the Security Instrument, the Guaranteed Obligations
and the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of
or by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense of Borrower against Lender, or any other party, or against

Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

or with any other corporation or entity.

Section
2.13        Other Actions Taken or Omitted.  Any other action taken
or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor,
whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay
the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor
shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or
omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which
obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

    6 

     

    

ARTICLE
3 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To
induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

Section
3.1            Benefit. Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower
and/or is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, 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. Guarantor is familiar
with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of the Borrower and is familiar with
the value of any and all Collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however,
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 Lender. Neither Lender nor
any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this
Guaranty.

Section
3.4            Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of
the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will
be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities)
and debts, and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.

Section
3.5            Legality. The execution, delivery and performance
by 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 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, deed
of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, 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 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 Litigation. As of the date hereof, Guarantor
is not subject to any pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened litigation or governmental proceedings
which might materially adversely affect Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business.

Section
3.7            Survival. All representations and warranties
made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

    7 

     

    

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 Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts
and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower 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 Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising
as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof or the occurrence of an event that would, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly
or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims unless and until the Loan has been repaid
in full.

Section
4.2            Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as 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 upon the Guaranteed Obligations,
any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute
a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of 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. In the event that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited
by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or
distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims
or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

    8 

     

    

Section
4.4            Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any
liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’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 Borrower’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. During any period in which the Loan remains unsatisfied,
Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have
against Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial
or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s
relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments
or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

ARTICLE
5 - MISCELLANEOUS

Section
5.1            Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder shall
