Guarantor’s remedies or rights against Seller are in any way impaired or suspended without Guarantor’s consent. If Buyer performs any of the actions described in this paragraph, then Guarantor’s liability shall continue in full force
and effect even if Buyer’s actions impair, diminish or eliminate Guarantor’s subrogation, contribution, or reimbursement rights (if any) against Seller, or otherwise adversely affect Guarantor or expand Guarantor’s liability
hereunder.

 (a) permit Guarantor’s Tangible Net Worth at any time to
be less than the sum of (x) eight hundred million dollars ($800,000,000) and (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate cash proceeds received from any equity issuances, capital contributions and/or subscriptions (net of any out-of-pocket expenses related to equity issuances) received by Guarantor after the Closing Date; 

  
 -8- 

 (b) permit the ratio of (A) Guarantor’s Total Indebtedness to (B) the sum of
Guarantor’s (1) Total Equity and (2) Qualified Capital Commitments at any time to be greater than 3.5 to 1; 
 (c) permit the
ratio of Guarantor’s EBITDA for the most recently ended period of twelve (12) consecutive months ended on or prior to such date of determination to Guarantor’s Interest Expense for such period to be less than 1.50 to 1.00; or 

(d) permit at any time the Liquidity of Guarantor to be less than the greater of (A) $20,000,000 and (B) five percent (5%) of
Guarantor’s Recourse Indebtedness. 
 6. Nature of Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is a guaranty of
payment, and is not a guaranty of collection or collectability. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents.
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, and unconditional obligation under any and all circumstances whatsoever (except as expressly stated, if at all, in this Guaranty), without regard to the validity, regularity
or enforceability of any of the Guarantied Obligations. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is fully obligated under this Guaranty even if Seller had no liability at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents or later ceases to be liable
under any Transaction Document, whether pursuant to Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise. Guarantor shall not be entitled to claim, and irrevocably covenants not to raise or assert, any defenses against any Guarantied Obligation that would or might
be available to Seller, other than actual payment and performance of such Guarantied Obligations in full in accordance with their terms. Guarantor waives any right to compel Buyer to proceed first against Seller or any Security before proceeding
against Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that if any of the Guarantied Obligations are or become void or unenforceable (because of inadequate consideration, lack of capacity, Insolvency Proceedings, or for any other reason), then Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty shall continue in full force as if they were and continued to be legally enforceable, all in accordance with their terms and, in the case of Insolvency Proceedings, before giving effect to the Insolvency Proceedings.
Guarantor also recognizes and acknowledges that its liability under this Guaranty may be more extensive in amount and more burdensome than that of Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Guarantied Obligations are
“nonrecourse” as to Seller or Seller’s liability for the Guarantied Obligations is otherwise limited in some way, Guarantor nevertheless intends to be fully liable, subject to Section 2 hereof, to the full extent of all of
Guarantor’s assets, with respect to all the Guarantied Obligations, even though Seller’s liability for the Guarantied Obligations may be less limited in scope or less burdensome. Guarantor waives any defense that might otherwise be
available to Guarantor based on the proposition that a guarantor’s liability cannot exceed the liability of the principal. Guarantor intends to be fully liable under this Guaranty regardless of the scope of Seller’s liability thereunder.
Guarantor waives any defenses to this Guaranty arising or purportedly arising from the manner in which Buyer disburses the Purchase Price for any Purchased Loan to Seller or otherwise, or any waiver of the terms of any Transaction Document by Buyer
or other failure of Buyer to require full compliance with the Transaction Documents. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all sums due under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and all other performance
required under the Transaction Documents has been rendered in full, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not be limited or 

  
 -9- 

 
affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any Security whether caused by (a) hazardous substances, (b) Buyer’s failure to perfect a security
interest in any Security, (c) any disability or other defense(s) of Seller, or (d) any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty contained in any Transaction Document. 

7. Waivers of Rights and Defenses. Guarantor waives any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against Seller, (b) proceed
against or exhaust any Security, or (c) pursue any other right or remedy for Guarantor’s benefit. Guarantor agrees that Buyer may proceed against Guarantor under this Guaranty without taking any actions against Seller and without
proceeding against or exhausting any Security. Guarantor agrees that Buyer may unqualifiedly exercise in its sole discretion (or may waive or release, intentionally or unintentionally) any or all rights and remedies available to it against Seller
without impairing Buyer’s rights and remedies in enforcing this Guaranty, under which Guarantor’s liabilities shall remain independent and unconditional. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that Buyer’s exercise (or waiver or release)
of certain of such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation or recovery against Seller (if any) and that Guarantor may incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability in performing under this Guaranty.
Guarantor has assumed the risk of any such loss of subrogation rights, even if caused by Buyer’s acts or omissions. If Buyer’s enforcement of rights and remedies, or the manner thereof, limits or precludes Guarantor from exercising any
right of subrogation that might otherwise exist, then the foregoing shall not in any way limit Buyer’s rights to enforce this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of any other waivers in this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly waives any
statutory or other right (except as set forth herein) that Guarantor might otherwise have to: (i) limit Guarantor’s liability after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the Guarantied Obligations and the fair market
value of the property or interests sold at such nonjudicial foreclosure sale or to any other extent, (ii) otherwise limit Buyer’s right to recover a deficiency judgment after any foreclosure sale, or (iii) require Buyer to exhaust its
Security before Buyer may obtain a personal judgment for any deficiency. Any proceeds of a foreclosure or similar sale may be applied first to any obligations of Seller that do not also constitute Guarantied Obligations within the meaning of this
Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in any Transaction Document, or any other provision of a Transaction Document limiting Buyer’s recourse to specific Security or limiting Buyer’s
right to enforce a deficiency judgment against Seller or any other person, shall have absolutely no application to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. To the extent that Buyer collects or receives any sums or payments from Seller or any
proceeds of a foreclosure or similar sale, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply such amounts first to that portion of Seller’s indebtedness and obligations to Buyer (if any) that is not covered by this Guaranty,
regardless of the manner in which any such payments and/or amounts are characterized by the person making the payment. 
 8. Additional
Waivers. Guarantor waives diligence and all demands, protests, presentments and notices of every kind or nature, including notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment, acceptance of this Guaranty and the creation, renewal, extension, modification
or accrual of any of the Guarantied Obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by Guarantor of any notice that Buyer is expressly required to provide to Seller or Guarantor hereunder or under the Transaction
Documents. Guarantor further waives the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty or the enforcement of this Guaranty. No failure or delay on Buyer’s part in exercising any
power, right or privilege under this Guaranty shall impair or waive any such power, right or privilege. 

  
 -10- 

 9. Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Notwithstanding any other action taken or omitted
to be taken with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Guarantied Obligations, or the Security, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay pursuant to the terms
hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay under this Guaranty 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 such Guarantied Obligations. 

10. No Duty to Prove Loss. To the extent that Guarantor at any time incurs any liability under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall
immediately pay Buyer (to be applied on account of the Guarantied Obligations) the amount provided for in this Guaranty, without any requirement that Buyer demonstrate that the Security is inadequate for the Transactions; or that Buyer has currently
suffered any loss; or that Buyer has otherwise exercised (to any degree) or exhausted any of Buyer’s rights or remedies with respect to Seller or any Security. 

11. Full Knowledge. Guarantor acknowledges, represents, and warrants that Guarantor has had a full and adequate opportunity to review
the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and all underlying facts relating to such transactions. Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor fully understands: (a) the remedies Buyer may pursue
against Seller and/or Guarantor in the event of a default under the Transaction Documents, (b) the value (if any) and character of any Security, and (c) Seller’s financial condition and ability to perform under the Transaction
Documents. Guarantor agrees to keep itself fully informed regarding all aspects of the foregoing and the performance of Seller’s obligations to Buyer. Buyer has no duty, whether now or in the future, to disclose to Guarantor any information
pertaining to Seller, the Transactions or any Security. At any time provided for in the Transaction Documents, Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that an Insolvency Proceeding affecting Guarantor, or other actions or events relating to Guarantor
(including Guarantor’s failure to comply with the covenants in Section 5 of this Guaranty), in each case, as set forth in the Transaction Documents, may be event(s) of default under the Transaction Documents. 

12. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor acknowledges, represents and warrants as of the date hereof, as of each Purchase Date and
at all times when any Transaction Document or Transaction is in full force and effect, as follows, and acknowledges that Buyer is relying upon the following acknowledgments, representations, and warranties by Guarantor in entering into the
Transactions: 
 (a) Due Execution; Enforceability. The Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor,
for good and valuable consideration. The Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on
creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. 

  
 -11- 

 (b) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
Guaranty will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the organizational documents of Guarantor, (ii) any contractual obligation to which Guarantor is now a party or by which it is
otherwise bound or to which the assets of Guarantor are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the assets of Guarantor thereunder, (iii) any judgment or order, writ,
injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Guarantor, or (iv) any applicable requirement of law, in each case under the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), to the extent that such conflict or breach would have a material
adverse effect upon Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Guarantor has all necessary licenses, permits and other consents from Governmental Authorities necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Guaranty
except to the extent failure to have any such licenses, permits or consents would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c)
Litigation; Requirements of Law. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against Guarantor or any of its assets which, if determined adversely to Guarantor,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to Guarantor. Guarantor is not in default in any material respect with respect to any
judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(d) No Third Party Consent Required. No consent of any person (including creditors or partners, members, stockholders,
or other owners of Guarantor), except those consents provided as of this date hereof, is required in connection with Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, except filing
obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission arising in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s business as a public company, if applicable, including without limitation, 8K, 10Q, 10K filings, which have been obtained and are in full
force and effect. Guarantor’s execution of, and obligations under, this Guaranty are not contingent upon any consent, license, permit, approval, or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing, or declaration
with, any governmental authority, bureau, or agency, whether local, state, federal, or foreign. 
 (e) Authority and
Execution. Guarantor is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has full power, authority, and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor has taken all
necessary organizational and legal action to authorize this Guaranty. 
 (f) No Representations by Buyer. Guarantor
delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation and based in no part upon any representation or statement by Buyer. 

(g) Prohibited Person. (i) None of the funds or other assets of Guarantor constitute property of, or are, to
Guarantor’s knowledge, beneficially owned, directly or 

  
 -12- 

 
indirectly, by a Prohibited Person (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) with the result that the investment in Guarantor (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the entering
into the Repurchase Agreement or acceptance of this Guaranty by Buyer is in violation of law; (ii) to Guarantor’s knowledge, no Prohibited Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Guarantor with the result that the investment in
Guarantor (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the entering into this Guaranty is in violation of law; (iii) to Guarantor’s knowledge, none of the funds of Guarantor have been derived from any unlawful activity with
the result that the investment in Guarantor (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the entering into this Guaranty is in violation of law; (iv) to Guarantor’s knowledge, Guarantor has not conducted and will not conduct
any business and has not engaged and will not engage in any transaction dealing with any Prohibited Person; and (v) Guarantor is not a Prohibited Person and has not been convicted of a felony or a crime which if prosecuted under the laws of the
United States of America would be a felony. 
 (h) Investment Company Act. Guarantor is not required to register as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (i) Taxes. Guarantor has filed
or caused to be filed all federal and other material Tax returns which would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on
any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it and any of its assets by any Governmental Authority except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP; no Tax liens have been filed against any of Guarantor’s assets (other than liens for Taxes not yet due and for
which adequate reserves are maintained in accordance with GAAP) and, to the best knowledge of Guarantor, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes, fees or other charges. 

13. No Misstatements. No information, exhibit, report or certificate furnished by Guarantor to Buyer in connection with the
Transactions or any Transaction Document contains any material misstatement of fact nor omits any fact necessary to make such information, exhibit, report, or certificate not materially misleading. 

14. Reimbursement and Subrogation Rights. Except to the extent that Buyer notifies Guarantor to the contrary in writing from time to
time: 
 (a) General Deferral of Reimbursement. Except to the extent set forth in Section 14(b) below, Guarantor
waives any right to be reimbursed by Seller for any payment(s) made by Guarantor on account of the Guarantied Obligations, unless and until all Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full and all periods within which such payments may be set aside
or invalidated have expired. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has received adequate consideration for execution of this Guaranty by virtue of Buyer’s entering into the Transactions (which benefit Guarantor, as a direct or indirect owner or
principal of Seller) and Guarantor does not require or expect, and is not entitled to, any other right of reimbursement against Seller as consideration for this Guaranty. 

  
 -13- 

 (b) Deferral of Subrogation and Contribution. Guarantor agrees it
shall have no right of subrogation against Seller or Buyer and no right of subrogation against any Security unless and until: (a) such right of subrogation does not violate (or otherwise produce any result adverse to Buyer under) any applicable
law, including any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) all amounts due under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and all other performance required under the Transaction Documents has been rendered in full to Buyer; (c) all
periods within which such payment may be set aside or invalidated have expired; and (d) Buyer has released, transferred or disposed of all of its right, title and interest in all Security (such deferral of Guarantor’s subrogation and
contribution rights, the “Subrogation Deferral”). Guarantor further agrees that, if any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantied Obligations shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Buyer, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Buyer by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the
Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine. 
 (c) Effect of
Invalidation. To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Guarantor’s Subrogation Deferral is void or voidable for any reason, Guarantor agrees, notwithstanding any acts or omissions by Buyer that Guarantor’s
rights of subrogation against Seller or Buyer and Guarantor’s right of subrogation against any Security shall at all times be junior and subordinate to Buyer’s rights against Seller and to Buyer’s right, title and interest in such
Security. 
 (d) Claims in Insolvency Proceeding. Guarantor shall not file any claim in any Insolvency Proceeding
affecting Seller or Member unless Guarantor simultaneously assigns and transfers such claim to Buyer, without consideration, pursuant to documentation fully satisfactory to Buyer. Guarantor shall automatically be deemed to have assigned and
transferred such claim to Buyer whether or not Guarantor executes documentation to such effect, and by executing this Guaranty hereby authorizes Buyer (and grants Buyer a power of attorney coupled with an interest, and hence irrevocable) to execute
and file such assignment and transfer documentation on Guarantor’s behalf. Buyer shall have the sole right to vote, receive distributions, and exercise all other rights with respect to any such claim, provided, however, that if and when the
Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full Buyer shall release to Guarantor any further payments received on account of any such claim. 

15. Waiver Disclosure. Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to this Guaranty, Guarantor has waived a substantial number of defenses
that Guarantor might otherwise under some circumstance(s) be able to assert against Guarantor’s liability to Buyer. Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that Guarantor has substantial experience as a sophisticated participant in substantial
commercial real estate transactions (including financings) and is fully familiar with the legal consequences of signing this or any other guaranty. In addition, Guarantor is represented by competent counsel. Guarantor has obtained from such

  
 -14- 

 
counsel, and understood, a full explanation of the nature, scope, and effect of the waivers contained in this Guaranty (a “Waiver Disclosure”). In the alternative, Guarantor has,
with advice from such counsel, knowingly and intentionally waived obtaining a Waiver Disclosure. Accordingly Guarantor does not require or expect Buyer to provide a Waiver Disclosure. It is not necessary for Buyer or this Guaranty to provide or set
forth any Waiver Disclosure, notwithstanding any principles of law to the contrary. Nevertheless, Guarantor specifically acknowledges that Guarantor is fully aware of the nature, scope, and effect of all waivers contained in this Guaranty, all of
which have been fully disclosed to Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges that as a result of the waivers contained in this Guaranty: 

(a) Actions by Buyer. Buyer will be able to take a wide range of actions relating to Seller, the Transactions, and the
Transaction Documents, all without Guarantor’s consent or notice to Guarantor. Guarantor’s full and unconditional liability under this Guaranty will continue whether or not Guarantor has consented to such actions. Guarantor may disagree
with or disapprove such actions, and Guarantor may believe that such actions should terminate or limit Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, but such disagreement, disapproval, or belief on the part of Guarantor will in no way limit
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. 
 (b) Interaction with Seller Liability. Guarantor shall be fully
liable under this Guaranty even if Seller has no liability whatsoever under the Transaction Documents or the Transaction Documents are otherwise invalid, unenforceable, or subject to defenses available to Seller. Guarantor acknowledges that
Guarantor’s full and unconditional liability under this Guaranty will continue notwithstanding any such limitations on or impairment of Seller’s liability. 

(c) Timing of Enforcement. Buyer will be able to enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even though Buyer might also
have available other rights and remedies that Buyer could conceivably enforce against the Security or against other parties. As a result, Buyer may require Guarantor to pay under this Guaranty earlier than Guarantor would prefer to pay under this
Guaranty, including immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Seller. Guarantor will not be able to assert against Buyer various defenses, theories, excuses, or procedural requirements that might otherwise force Buyer to delay or
defer the enforcement of this Guaranty against Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor intends to allow Buyer to enforce the Guaranty against Guarantor in such manner. All of Guarantor’s assets will be available to satisfy Buyer’s
claims against Guarantor under this Guaranty. 
 (d) Continuation of Liability. Guarantor’s liability under this
Guaranty shall continue at all times until the Guarantied Obligations have actually been paid in full, even if other circumstances have changed such that in Guarantor’s view Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty should terminate,
except to the extent that any express conditions to the termination of this Guaranty, as set forth in this Guaranty, have been satisfied. 

16.    Buyer’s Disgorgement of Payments. Upon payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations,
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect at all times until the Guarantied Obligations have actually been 

  
 -15- 

 
paid in full, if all or any part of such payment is, pursuant to any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Buyer as a preference, fraudulent
transfer, or otherwise, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) payment in full of the Transactions. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantor’s liability under this
Guaranty shall continue until all periods have expired within which Buyer could (on account of any Insolvency Proceedings, whether or not then pending, affecting Seller or any other person) be required to return, repay, or disgorge any amount paid
at any time on account of the Guarantied Obligations. 
 17. Financial Information; Notice of Default and Litigation. Guarantor shall
deliver to Buyer such financial and reporting information described in Section 11(i) of the Repurchase Agreement with respect to Guarantor on or before the dates set forth therein, and shall also, within five (5) Business Days after
Buyer’s request made at any time, deliver to Buyer such additional financial information relating to Guarantor as Buyer may reasonably request and which is in Guarantor’s possession or is reasonably obtainable by Guarantor. Guarantor shall
promptly, and in any event (a) within three (3) Business Days after Guarantor’s knowledge thereof, notify Buyer of any default on the part of Guarantor under any Indebtedness which could give rise to an Event of Default, and
(b) within three (3) Business Days after service of process or Guarantor’s knowledge thereof, notify Buyer of the commencement, or threat in writing of, any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration involving Guarantor or
any of its assets or any judgment in any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration involving Guarantor or any of its assets, which in any of the foregoing cases (i) relates to any Purchased Loan, (ii) questions or challenges
the validity or enforceability of any Transaction or Transaction Document, (iii) makes a claim or claims against Guarantor in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 or (iv) that, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely
determined, could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 18. Right to Set Off. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under the Transaction Documents or Requirements of Law, Guarantor hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates, to secure repayment of the Guarantied Obligations, a right of set-off
upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Guarantor and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, for the account of Guarantor, whether for
safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or indebtedness of Guarantor at any time existing, and any
obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Guarantor and to set–off against any Guarantied Obligations or indebtedness owed by Guarantor and any indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Guarantor, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Transaction Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time
held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to or for the credit of Guarantor without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer and each Affiliate of Buyer is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and
payable by Guarantor to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer under this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations, without notice to Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to
set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing 

  
 -16- 

 
to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates by Guarantor under the Guaranty and the Guarantied Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall have made any demand under
this Guaranty and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR AFFILIATES OF BUYER TO EXERCISE THEIR
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED LOANS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY GUARANTOR.

 19. Consent to Jurisdiction. Guarantor agrees that any Proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal
court located in New York City, New York. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts, generally and unconditionally with respect to any such
Proceeding. Guarantor agrees not to assert any basis for transferring jurisdiction of any such proceeding to another court. Guarantor further agrees that a final judgment against Guarantor in any Proceeding shall be conclusive evidence of
Guarantor’s liability for the full amount of such judgment. 
 20. Merger; No Conditions; Amendments. This Guaranty and
documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. This Guaranty supersedes all prior agreements among the parties with respect to the matters set forth in this
Guaranty. No course of prior dealings among the parties, no usage of trade, and no parole or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement, modify, or vary any terms of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is unconditional. There are no
unsatisfied conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty. No terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be changed, waived, revoked, or amended without Buyer’s written agreement. If any provision of this Guaranty is determined to be
unenforceable, then all other provisions of this Guaranty shall remain fully effective. 
 21. Enforcement. Guarantor acknowledges
that this Guaranty is an “instrument for the payment of money only,” within the meaning of New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3213. In the event of any Proceeding between Seller or Guarantor and Buyer, including any
Proceeding in which Buyer enforces or attempts to enforce this Guaranty or the Transactions against Seller or Guarantor, or in the event of any Guarantor Litigation, Guarantor shall reimburse Buyer for all Costs of such Proceeding. 

22. Fundamental Changes. Guarantor shall not wind up, liquidate, or dissolve its affairs or enter into any transaction of merger or
consolidation, or sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of (or agree to do any of the foregoing) all or substantially all of its property or assets, without Buyer’s prior written consent; except that so long as no Event of Default exists or would
result therefrom, Guarantor may merge into or consolidate with another Person so long as (a) such merger or consolidation would not result in a Change of Control and (b) the continuing or surviving Person is the Guarantor. 

23. Prohibited Person. Guarantor shall not, without prior written consent of Buyer, conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction
or dealing, with any Prohibited 

  
 -17- 

 
Person (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement), including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited
Person; or engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001.
Guarantor further covenants and agrees to deliver (from time to time) to Buyer any such certification or other evidence as may be requested by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming that Guarantor has not, to its knowledge, engaged in
any business, transaction or dealings with a Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person. 

24. Further Assurances. Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further documents, and perform such further acts, as Buyer may request
to achieve the intent of the parties as expressed in this Guaranty, provided in each case that any such documentation is consistent with this Guaranty and with the Transaction Documents. 

25. Certain Entities. If Seller or Guarantor is a partnership, limited liability company, or other unincorporated association, then:
(a) Guarantor’s liability shall not be impaired by changes in the name or composition of Seller or Guarantor; and (b) the withdrawal or removal of any partner(s) or member(s) of Seller or Guarantor shall not diminish Guarantor’s
liability or, if Guarantor is a partnership, the liability of any withdrawing general partners of Guarantor. 
 26. Counterparts.
This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic
transmission (including a .pdf e-mail transmission) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty. 

27. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. GUARANTOR WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY OBLIGATION(S) OF GUARANTOR HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. 
 28. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Assignability. Buyer may assign the rights under this Guaranty (in whole or in part) together with any one or more
of the Transaction Documents in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement without in any way affecting Guarantor’s liability. Upon request in connection with any such assignment Guarantor shall deliver such documentation as Buyer shall
reasonably request. Buyer may from time to time designate any Person to hold and exercise any or all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall benefit Buyer and its successors and assigns and shall bind Guarantor
and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Buyer. 

  
 -18- 

 (b) Notices. All notices, requests, and demands to be made under this
Guaranty shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of attempted delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid,

32. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Guarantied Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a

otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
 33. Safe Harbor. The parties hereto intend (a) for this Guaranty
and each Transaction to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a
“securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under the Repurchase Documents are deemed “margin payments,” “settlement payments” or a “transfer,” as defined
in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Section 6 of the Repurchase Agreement to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy
Code, and (c) that Buyer (for so long as Buyer is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Section 555, 559 or 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe
harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract,” including (x) the rights, set forth in Sections 13 and 22 of the Repurchase Agreement and in Section 555, 559 and
561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Loans and terminate the Repurchase Agreement and this Guaranty, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in the Repurchase Agreement, in Section 18 hereof and in
Section 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 34. Maintenance of Financial Covenants; Scope of Guarantee. To the extent that
Guarantor is obligated (either as a primary or secondary obligor) under any other repurchase agreement, loan agreement, warehouse facility, credit facility, guarantee or any amendments thereto (whether now in effect or that comes into effect at any
time during the term of the Repurchase Agreement) to comply with a financial covenant that is comparable to any of the financial covenants set forth in this Guaranty, and such comparable financial covenant is more restrictive to the guarantor,
seller, borrower and/or obligor thereunder or otherwise more favorable to the related lender or buyer thereunder than any financial covenant set forth in this Guaranty, or is in addition to any financial covenant set forth in this Guaranty, then
such comparable or additional financial covenant shall, with no further action required on the part of Guarantor or Buyer, automatically become a part of this Guaranty and be incorporated herein, and Guarantor hereby covenants to maintain compliance
with such comparable or additional financial covenant at all times throughout the remaining term of this Guaranty. In connection therewith, Guarantor agrees to promptly notify Buyer of the execution of any agreement or other document that would
cause the provisions of this Section 34 to become effective. Guarantor further agrees to execute and deliver any new guaranties, agreements or amendments to this Guaranty necessary to evidence all such new or modified
provisions, provided that the execution of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment, but shall merely be for the convenience of Guarantor and Buyer.
