1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees:

(a) the full and prompt payment and performance of all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Borrowers;

(b) All liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, causes of actions, suits, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, and expenses of investigation), fines, penalties, awards, claims, demands and judgments paid, imposed upon Agent or Lenders or to which Agent or Lenders are subject, incurred by Agent and Lenders or any Affiliate or agent thereof as a result of (i) any failure after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to apply any portion of the revenue from a Project to the Loan as required per the Financing Documents or to customary operating expenses of the Project; (ii) any intentional misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of any rents, proceeds or funds deriving from (A) a Project (including, without limitation, any Distributions made in violation of Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement), (B) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to a Project and not used by Borrower for restoration or repair of such Project in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and/or (C) any awards or amounts received in connection with condemnation of all or a portion of any Project and not used by Borrower for restoration or repair of the Project in accordance with the Credit Agreement; (iii) any misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact; (iv) any material waste, arson, damage or abandonment of any portion of a Project in violation of the Credit Agreement; (v) any failure to keep any portion of any Project insured in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents; (vi) any fees paid any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor in violation of Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement; (vii) the material breach, after giving effect to all notice and cure periods, of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in any other Financing Document concerning Environmental Laws, Hazardous Materials and/or Hazardous Materials Contamination and any indemnification of Agent and Lenders with respect thereto, including, without limitation, the covenants and any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.18 and 4.10 of the Credit Agreement; (viii) any Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing receiving any rents or other payments under any present or future lease or sublease, whether written or oral, or any lettings of possession of, or any agreements for the use or occupancy of, the whole or any part of the Project more than one (1) month in advance, except with respect to Resident Agreements entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business provided that such payments are maintained by Borrowers in a cash reserve or as otherwise approved by Agent in writing; (ix) any security deposits not delivered to Agent upon foreclosure of Collateral or action lieu thereof, (x) any breach of the covenants contained in Section 5.6 of the Credit Agreement pertaining to any merger, sale or Change in Control; (xi) any intentional breach of the covenants or any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement relating to additional indebtedness, (xii) any knowing breach, after giving effect to all notice and cure periods, of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement relating to liens to the extent that revenue from any Project was generated sufficient to pay such liens (after payment of the current debt service obligation under the Loan); (xiii) any breach of Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement pertaining to any organizational changes, after giving effect to all notice and cure periods; and (xiv) any fraud or willful misconduct by a Credit Party;

(c) Repayment of the Loan, any fees due under the Fee Letter, and all accrued interest thereon, all costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders, and all other Obligations of Borrowers under the Financing Documents in the event of (i) any breach of any of the following covenants of the Credit Agreement in (A) Section 4.3 requiring Borrower to be a Single Purpose Entity that would result in a substantive consolidation of the assets of Borrower with any other Person, or (B) Section 5.6 pertaining to any Change in Control; (ii) the filing by Borrower, or the filing against Borrower by, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, of any proceeding for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership laws or any assignment for the benefit of creditors made by Borrower; (iii) the filing by Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor of an answer consenting to, or otherwise acquiescing or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”), or supporting, aiding, soliciting, or colluding with petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; or (iv) the forfeiture by any Credit Party of the Collateral, or (in each case) any portion thereof, because of criminal activity by any such Credit Party; and

(d) the full and prompt payment of any Enforcement Costs (as defined in Section 7 hereof).

All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 1 shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in the Financing Documents, Agent and Lenders agree that the liability of Guarantor for the payment of principal in Subsection 1(a) above shall not exceed $40,000,000.00.

All payments under this Guaranty must be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in current funds. Any amount received by Agent or Lenders from any collateral or security for the Financing Documents may be applied by them towards any sums due under or in respect of the Financing Documents, in such order of application as is provided for under the applicable Financing Documents, or if not so provided for, then in such order as Agent may from time to time elect in its sole discretion. Subject to the preceding sentence, Agent shall have the right to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits, whether derived from the Borrowers or any other source, shall be made on the amounts due to Agent and Lenders under the Financing Documents.

2. Payment of Amounts Owed. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not otherwise been waived in writing by Agent), after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Agent or any holder of the Notes (which demand may be made concurrently with notice to Borrowers that Borrowers are in default of their obligations), to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or recoupment or claims which Borrowers or Guarantor may have against Agent or any Lenders or the holder of the Notes, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the other Financing Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to Agent and Lenders, and the choice by Agent or any Lenders of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, recoupment or failure to mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Agent or Lenders to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude Agent or Lenders from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in an Event of Default hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by Agent or Lenders at the lowest cost to Borrowers and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such choice of remedy by Agent and any Lenders be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.

3. Certain Waivers by Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Agent and Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law; (b) agree to refrain from asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan, any defense, right of set-off, right of recoupment or other claim which Guarantor may have against Borrowers; (c) waive any defense (other than defense of payment), right of set-off, right of recoupment or other claim which Guarantor or Borrowers may have against Agent, any Lenders or the holder of the Notes (other than compulsory counterclaims); (d) waive any and all rights Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency statute or other similar protections; (e) waive all rights at law or in equity to seek subrogation, contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement or repayment from Borrowers or any other person or entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full; (f) waive presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantor with liability other than notices and demands required under the Financing Documents; (g) waive the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, marshalling, forbearance, stay, extension, redemption, homestead, exemption and moratorium laws now or hereafter in effect; (h) waive any defense based on the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or entity or the failure of Agent or any Lenders to file or enforce a claim against the estate of any other person or entity in any administrative, bankruptcy or other proceeding; (i) waive any defense based on an election of remedies by Agent or Lenders, whether or not such election may affect in any way the recourse, subrogation or other rights of Guarantor against the Borrowers, any other guarantor or any other person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) waive any defense based on the failure of the Agent or any Lenders to (i) provide notice to Guarantor of a sale or other disposition (including any collateral sale pursuant to the UCC) of any of the security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) conduct such a sale or disposition in a commercially reasonable manner; (k) waive any defense based on the negligence of Agent or Lenders in administering the Loan (including, without limitation, the failure to perfect any security interest in any collateral for the Loan), or taking or failing to take any action in connection therewith, or based on the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, or any similar or successor act, or any applicable regulations or any similar act or regulation of any state, provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lenders as determined by the final, non-appealable decision of a court having proper jurisdiction; (l) waive the defense of expiration of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (m) waive any right to file any Claim (as defined below) as part of, and any right to request consolidation of any action or proceeding relating to a Claim with, any action or proceeding filed or maintained by Agent or any Lenders to collect any Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor to Agent or Lenders hereunder or to exercise any rights or remedies available to Agent or any Lenders under the Financing Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise; (n) agree that neither Agent nor Lenders shall have any obligation to obtain, perfect or retain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, or to protect or insure any such property; (o) waive any obligation Agent or Lenders may have to disclose to Guarantor any facts the Agent or Lenders now or hereafter may know or have reasonably available to it regarding the Borrowers or Borrowers’ financial condition, whether or not the Agent or any Lenders has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts or has reason to believe that any such facts are unknown to Guarantor or materially increase the risk to Guarantor beyond the risk Guarantor intends to assume hereunder; (p) agree that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable in any way for any decrease in the value or marketability of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations which may result from any action or omission of the Agent or Lenders in enforcing any part of this Guaranty or any portion of the Loan; (q) waive any defense based on the consideration for this Guaranty; (r) waive any defense based on any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Financing Documents; (s) waive any defense based on any change in the composition of Borrowers, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Guarantor from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrowers, except to the extent not prohibited under the Credit Agreement; and (t) waive any defense based on any representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein or by Borrowers in any of the Financing Documents. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by Agent or any Lenders to Borrowers without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Agent nor Lenders shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of Borrowers. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Agent or Lenders to induce Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Agent or Lenders except for modifications and waivers made in accordance with Section 13.16 of the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this section, the term “Claim” shall mean any claim, action or cause of action, defense (other than defense of payment), counterclaim, set-off or right of recoupment of any kind or nature against the Agent or Lenders, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, members, actuaries, accountants, trustees or attorneys, or any affiliate of the Agent or Lenders in connection with the making, closing, administration, collection or enforcement by the Agent or Lenders of the Guaranteed Obligations.

4. Guarantor’s Obligations Not Affected by Modifications of Financing Documents. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall not be impaired or affected by any renewals or extensions which may be made and agreed in writing by Borrowers to the extent required under the Credit Agreement and other Financing Documents from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under the Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under the Notes, or by any waiver by Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Financing Documents, or by Agent’s failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have against Borrowers or Guarantor, or by any change or modification in the Notes, Credit Agreement or any other Financing Document, or by the acceptance by Agent or Lenders of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by Agent or Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Obligations even though Agent or Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being the intent hereof that, subject to Agent’s or Lenders’ compliance with the terms of this Guaranty and the other Financing Documents, Guarantor shall remain liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that Agent or Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrowers to amend, modify and/or increase the principal amount of, interest rate applicable to or other economic and non-economic terms of the Notes, Credit Agreement, or other Financing Documents, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of the Notes, Credit Agreement, and other Financing Documents or any thereof, and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as Agent, Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of Agent’s or any Lenders’ rights hereunder or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the Notes, Credit Agreement and other Financing Documents as so amended, modified, extended, renewed or increased.

5. Nature of Guaranty. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not merely of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Agent or any Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Notes, Credit Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under the Financing Documents or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Agent or Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrowers or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Agent or Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to it at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, Credit Agreement or any other Financing Documents, and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its remedies that do not result in full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and complete satisfaction of Borrowers’ Obligations under the Financing Documents shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrowers under the Notes, Credit Agreement or other Financing Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of Borrowers or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrowers. To the extent permitted under applicable law, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Notes, Credit Agreement, or any other Financing Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Agent or Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of Borrowers, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, Borrowers or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to Agent or Lenders had not been made, regardless of whether Agent or Lenders contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the event of the foreclosure of the Financing Documents and of a deficiency, subject to the limitations in Section 1, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrowers would not be allowed by applicable law; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that Agent or Lenders institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty.

6. Effect of Assignment of Notes. In the event Agent, Lenders or any holder of the Notes shall assign the Notes (the “Assignment”) to any lender or other entity (the “Assignee”) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to secure a loan from Assignee to such Lenders or such holder, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable against Guarantor by Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by Agent, Lenders or such holder but for the Assignment; provided, however, that unless Agent and Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, Agent and Lenders shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of Assignee, to enforce this Guaranty for Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit to the extent of any indemnities constituting a part of the Guaranteed Obligations which are not expressly assigned or transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Assignment (a) obligate Guarantor to make any payment to, or to perform any obligation on behalf of, any party other than Agent and Lenders following an Assignment unless Agent or such Lenders provides Guarantor written notice of the Assignment, in which case Guarantor shall be entitled to rely on such written notice, or (b) entitle Agent and Lenders and Assignee to duplicative recoveries.

7. Enforcement Costs. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Agent or any Lenders in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice or other representation with respect to this Guaranty after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; or (d) an attorney is retained to represent Agent or any Lenders in any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and Agent or Lenders prevail in any such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to Agent or Lenders upon demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Financing Documents.

8. Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Agent, Lenders or the holder of the Notes under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9. CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS GUARANTY AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), AGENT AND LENDERS (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF), AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, MARYLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND, AND (B) WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT OR LENDERS, GUARANTOR FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO THE EXTENT THE FOREGOING IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. AGENT, LENDERS AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, MARYLAND OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS, ANY CLAIMS UNDER THIS GUARANTY BY A LENDER MUST BE BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER BY AGENT AND NOT DIRECTLY.

10. Subordination of Borrowers’ Obligations to Guarantor; Claims in Bankruptcy.

(a) Any indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantor (including, without limitation, any right of such Guarantor to a return of any capital contributed to Borrowers), whether now or hereafter existing, is hereby subordinated to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Except to the extent permitted by Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor agrees that, until the entire Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than any contingent obligations or liabilities not accrued or due or payable as of the date of such payment in full, which by their terms expressly survive such payment in full), Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from Borrowers on account of such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for Agent and Lenders and shall be paid over to Agent, on behalf of Agent and Lenders, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Guarantor shall, before date due, file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, all claims and proofs of claims that Guarantor may have against the Borrowers or any other guarantor and does hereby assign to Agent or its nominee (and will, upon request of Agent, reconfirm in writing the assignment to Agent or its nominee of) all rights of Guarantor under such claims. If Guarantor does not file any such claim before the due date, Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor, or in Agent’s discretion, to assign the claim to a designee and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Agent’s designee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Agent, on behalf of Agent and Lenders, the full amount thereof and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Agent and each Lenders all of the Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled, such assignment being a present and irrevocable assignment of all such rights.

(c) In the event (i) Borrowers or any other guarantor shall (A) file voluntarily or be filed against involuntarily for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, (B) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator, or (C) be the subject of any order, judgment, or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors, and (ii) the automatic stay imposed by the applicable provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any other applicable law, against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to creditors of the Borrowers or such other guarantor is deemed by the court having jurisdiction to apply to Guarantor so that Guarantor is not permitted to pay Agent and Lenders the Guaranteed Obligations and/or Agent or Lenders may not immediately enforce the terms of this Guaranty or exercise such other rights and remedies against Guarantor as would otherwise be provided by law, Agent and Lenders shall immediately be entitled, and Guarantor hereby consents, to relief from such stay, and Guarantor hereby authorizes and directs Agent and Lenders to present this Guaranty to the applicable court to evidence this agreement and consent.

11. Application of Proceeds. Any amounts received by Agent or Lenders from any source on account of the Guaranteed Obligations may be utilized by Agent or Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders in such order as Agent and Lenders may from time to time elect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Financing Documents.

12. Events of Default.

(a) It is expressly agreed that time is of the essence of this Guaranty and every covenant and provision hereof, and that any of the following shall be an “Event of Default” under this Guaranty:

(i) the failure of Guarantor to satisfy the covenants set forth in Section 16 below;

(ii) any Insolvency Event (as defined below) with respect to Guarantor;

(iii) any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and has not otherwise been cured or waived in writing by Agent; and/or

(iv) any material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Guarantor, or any material omission of Guarantor, in connection with its financial condition prior or subsequent to the date of this Guaranty.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that is continuing under this Guaranty (that has not otherwise been waived in writing by Agent), there shall be deemed to have occurred an Event of Default (as that term is used in any of the other Financing Documents) under each of the other Financing Documents, regardless of whether or not any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations may then be due and payable.

(c) The term “Insolvency Event” shall mean any of the following: (i) Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Guarantor files a petition in bankruptcy; (iii) Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or petitions or applies to any tribunal for any receiver of or any trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property; (iv) Guarantor commences any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code relating to itself under any reorganization, arrangement, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; (v) any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced against Guarantor and such proceeding remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or (vi) Guarantor colludes with a third party in connection with any such proceeding or the appointment of any receiver of or any trustee for Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days.

(d) All grace periods under the Notes, this Guaranty and/or the other Financing Documents shall run concurrently such that once any grace period has expired without the curing of the default in question, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies granted under the Notes, this Guaranty and the other Financing Documents without the necessity of issuing any further notice or the granting of any further grace periods.

13. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH GUARANTOR, AGENT, AND EACH LENDER (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS) AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH GUARANTOR, AGENT, AND EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH GUARANTOR, AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

14. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given and shall become effective as provided in the Credit Agreement.

15. Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders to make the Loan and other financial accommodations available to Borrowers, Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof to Agent and Lenders set forth in this Section. Guarantor acknowledges that but for the truth and accuracy of the matters covered by the following representations and warranties, Lenders would not have agreed to make the Loan and other financial accommodations available to Borrowers.

(a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing in its state of organization and has qualified to do business and is in good standing in any state in which it is necessary in the conduct of its business;

(b) Guarantor maintains an office at the address set forth for such party in Section 14;

(c) any and all balance sheets, net worth statements, and other financial data with respect to Guarantor which have heretofore been given to Agent and Lenders by or on behalf of Guarantor fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition of Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof;

(d) the execution, delivery, and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty does not and will not contravene or conflict with (i) any Laws, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree now in effect of any Government Authority, or court having jurisdiction over Guarantor, (ii) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting Guarantor or Guarantor’s property or assets which may materially adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii) the organizational documents of Guarantor;

(e) this Guaranty creates legal, valid, and binding obligations of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles;

(f) except as disclosed in writing to Agent and Lenders, there is no action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened in writing or affecting Guarantor, which may materially adversely affect Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty. There are no judgments or orders for the payment of money rendered against Guarantor for an aggregate amount in excess of $1,500,000.00 (not paid or fully covered by insurance and as to which the relevant insurance company has acknowledged coverage) that have been undischarged for a period of sixty (60) or more consecutive days and the enforcement of which is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise. To Guarantor’s knowledge, Guarantor is not in default under any agreements which may have a Material Adverse Effect on Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty; and

(g) all statements set forth in the Recitals are true and correct.

All of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed remade on the date of the first disbursement of proceeds or other extension of credit in respect of the Loan, on the date of any subsequent advance of proceeds or other extension of credit in respect of the Loan (to the extent provided for in the Financing Documents), and upon any extension of the term of the Loan pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and Lenders free and harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability, damage, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which Agent and any Lenders actually incurs by reason of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties as of the date the foregoing representations and warranties are made and are remade.

16. Covenants. Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied, Guarantor covenants as follows:

(a) AlerisLife shall at all times during the term of Loan maintain $25,000,000.00 of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents. “Cash Equivalents” shall mean: (a) dollar demand deposits maintained in the United States with any commercial bank and dollar time deposits maintained in the United States, or certificates of deposit having a maturity of one year or less, issued by any commercial bank which has its head office in the United States and which has a combined capital and surplus of at least One Billion and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000,000); (b) direct obligations of, or unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States and having a maturity of one year or less; and (c) readily marketable commercial paper having a maturity of one year or less, issued by any corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and rated by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc.

If Guarantor shall become insolvent or seek protection under insolvency laws or proceedings, or any application shall be made to have Guarantor declared bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Guarantor or for all or a substantial part of the property of Guarantor, or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, notice of such occurrence or event shall be promptly furnished to the Agent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
