GUARANTY (Repayment)

THIS GUARANTY (this "Guaranty") is executed effective as of October 20, 2014, by IMH FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), for the benefit of BANK OF THE OZARKS (together with its successors and assigns, "Lender").

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, executed by IMH GABELLA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability ("Borrower") and payable to the order of Lender in the original stated principal amount of $24,000,000.00 (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 made pursuant to that certain Construction Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (the "Loan Agreement"), which Loan is secured by, inter alia, that certain Mortgage, Security Agreement, and Fixture Financing Statement, dated of even date herewith, granted by Borrower in favor of Lender (the "Lien Instrument"), and further evidenced, secured or governed by other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection with the Loan including, without limitation, that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, dated of even date herewith (the "Environmental Indemnity") (this Guaranty and all of the foregoing and all other documents related to the Loan, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, being, collectively, the "Loan Documents");

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

WHEREAS, Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and will directly or indirectly benefit from Lender making the Loan to Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement and to make the Loan to Borrower, and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time agree to extend, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor, intending to be legally bound hereby, represents and warrants to Lender and covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

1.1    Guaranty and Agreement to be Primarily Obligated. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.13, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance 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 Guarantor is liable for the Guaranteed Debt as a primary obligor.

1.2    Definition of Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to Section 1.13 hereof, as used herein, the term "Guaranteed Obligations" means:

(a)    all principal, interest, reasonable attorneys' fees, commitment fees, liabilities for costs and expenses and other indebtedness and liabilities of Borrower to Lender at any time created or arising in connection with the Loan, or any amendment thereto or substitution therefor, including but not limited to all indebtedness and liabilities of Borrower to Lender arising under the Note, or under any renewals, modifications, increases and extensions of the Note, or under the Loan Documents;

(b)    all liabilities of Borrower for future advances, extensions of credit, sales on account or other value at any time given or made by Lender to Borrower arising under the Loan Documents, whether or not the advances, credit or value are given pursuant to commitment;

(c)    any and all other indebtedness and liabilities of every kind and character of Borrower to Lender arising under the Loan Documents, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, regardless of whether such present or future indebtedness and liabilities be direct or indirect, related or unrelated, liquidated or unliquidated, primary or secondary, joint, several, or joint and several, or fixed or contingent;

(d)    any and all post‑petition interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law; and

(e)    all costs, expenses and fees, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (subject to Section 1.9 hereof), arising in connection with the collection of any or all amounts, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender described in items (i) through (iv) of this Section.

1.3    Additional Defined Terms.

(a)    "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.

(b)    Undefined Terms: Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

1.4    Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked

by 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, reduced or paid in full shall not release, discharge or reduce the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to any indebtedness or obligations of Borrower thereafter incurred (or other Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising) under the Note or otherwise. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment, sale, pledge, transfer, participation or negotiation of all or part of the Note.

1.5    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 Person, against Lender or against payment or performance 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 and Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all rights and remedies to any defense, right of offset or other claim which Guarantor may have against Lender. Without limiting the foregoing or Guarantor's liability hereunder, to the extent that Lender advances funds or extends credit to Borrower, and does not receive payment thereon in the amounts and at the times required or provided by applicable agreements or Legal Requirements, Guarantor is absolutely liable to make such payments to Lender, on a timely basis.

1.6    Payment and Performance by Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid and performed when due, whether at demand, maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever (all such notices being hereby expressly waived by Guarantor), 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 may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment and performance 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.

1.7    No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender's rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) enforce Lender's rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, or (vi) resort to any

other means of obtaining payment and performance 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.

1.8    Agreement and Waiver of Notice. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives notice of, and any rights of consent to (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Lien Instrument, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) 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, instruments or agreements arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Mortgaged Property, (v) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (vi) Lender's transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, participation or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non‑payment or default by Borrower, and (ix) any other action at any time taken or not taken by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents, and any other documents, instruments or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.9    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 actual costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender's rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date the payment of such expenses is requested by Lender until the date Lender receives payment in full of such expenses. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.10    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, or any agreement, stipulation or settlement, 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 (or shall be reinstated to be) 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 payment or performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such payment or performance.

1.11    Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating 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 Person liable for payment and performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations) for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise until all periods under applicable bankruptcy law and the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act to contest or seek avoidance of any payment as a preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise have expired or lapsed.

1.12    Multiple Guarantors. If (i) this Guaranty is executed by more than one party constituting Guarantor, it is specifically agreed that Lender may enforce the provisions hereof with respect to one or more of such parties constituting Guarantor without seeking to enforce the same as to all or any such parties; or (ii) one or more additional guaranty agreements ("Other Guaranties") are executed by one or more additional guarantors ("Other Guarantors"), which guaranty, in whole or in part, any of the indebtedness or obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents, it is specifically agreed that Lender may enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other Guaranties with respect to one or more of the parties constituting Guarantor and/or one or more of the Other Guarantors under the Other Guaranties without seeking to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or the Other Guaranties as to all or any of the parties constituting Guarantor or the Other Guarantors. Each of the parties constituting Guarantor hereby waives any requirement of joinder (and shall not seek joinder) of all or any other of the parties constituting Guarantor or all or any of the Other Guarantors in any suit or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other Guaranties. The liability hereunder of all parties constituting Guarantor shall be joint and several.

1.13    Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty (exclusive of any other obligations of Guarantor under any other guaranty agreement relating to the Loan) for the Guaranteed Debt shall never exceed $12,000,000.00 (the "Guaranteed Portion"). All payments made by Borrower or any other Person or sums otherwise applied against the Indebtedness (including any application of insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds, Reserves or proceeds from any foreclosure sale with respect to the Mortgaged Property) shall be allocated first to those portions of the Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Portion and only lastly to the Guaranteed Portion.

(c)    Other Financial Covenants:

(i)    Guarantor covenants and agrees to act, in all respects, in good faith with respect to the obligations and covenants described in this Section 3.9 and all calculations required hereunder. Guarantor further agrees to promptly respond to any inquiries made by Lender or its agent with respect to Guarantor's ongoing compliance with the financial covenants described in this Section 3.9 or with respect to documentation with respect thereto. The failure of Guarantor, at any time, to satisfy the foregoing financial covenants shall constitute a default hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(ii)    Guarantor shall not, at any time while a default in the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations has occurred and is continuing, either (i) enter into or effectuate any transaction with any Affiliate which would have the effect of reducing the Net Worth of Guarantor below that required in Section 3.9(b), including, without limitation, the payment of any dividend or distribution to a shareholder, partner or member as applicable, or the redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition for consideration of any stock or other ownership interest in Guarantor, or (ii) sell, pledge, mortgage or otherwise transfer to any Person any of Guarantor's assets, or any interest therein which would have the effect of causing a violation of the financial covenants in this Section 3.9.

3.10    No Litigation. After due investigation and inquiry, there are no (i) material actions, suits or proceedings, at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor which are not disclosed in Guarantor's public filings as required under applicable law, or involving the Mortgaged Property; (ii) outstanding or unpaid judgments against Guarantor or the Mortgaged Property or against Guarantor which are not disclosed in Guarantor's public filings as required under applicable law; or (iii) material defaults by Guarantor with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator which are not disclosed in Guarantor's public filings as required under applicable law.

3.11    Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof and payment in full of the Indebtedness.

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 are 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. 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 and performance of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. So long as any portion of the Indebtedness, the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations remains outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2    Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency proceeding 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 against 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 against the Guarantor Claims, then upon full payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on 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 Guarantor Claims.

4.3    Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that 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 and 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.

4.4    Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower's assets securing payment of 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 and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) create any Lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, (ii) exercise or enforce any creditor's rights it may have against Borrower, or (iii) 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, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor. The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower granting Liens in any of its assets to any Person other than Lender or Guarantor transferring any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.

4.5    No Limitations. Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the ability of Lender to enforce any of Lender's rights or remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the rights of Lender to proceed against any other Person, including Borrower, or any other party with respect to the enforcement of any guarantees of payment, guarantees of performance and completion, hazardous materials indemnifications or agreements or other similar rights, including, without limitation, those indemnities contained in the Environmental Indemnity.

5.1    Waivers and Related Agreements. Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) any right to revoke this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any right to require Lender to do any of the following before Guarantor is obligated to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations or before Lender may proceed against Guarantor: (A) sue or exhaust remedies against Borrower or any other Person liable for the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof; (B) sue on an accrued right of action in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or bring any other action, exercise any other right, or exhaust any other remedy; or (C) enforce rights against Borrower's assets or the collateral pledged by Borrower to secure the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any right relating to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender's enforcement of rights against Borrower's assets or the collateral pledged by Borrower to secure the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) if Guarantor and

Borrower (or any other Person) have each pledged assets to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, any right to require Lender to proceed first against collateral pledged by Borrower (or any other Person) before proceeding against the collateral pledged by Guarantor; (v) promptness, diligence, notice of any default, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, demand for payment or performance, acceptance or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of the incurring by Borrower of additional indebtedness, notice of any suit or other action by Lender against Borrower or any other Person, any notice to any Person liable for the obligation which is the subject of the suit or action, and all other notices and demands with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty; and (vi) each of the foregoing rights or defenses, regardless of whether they arise under any statute or law, common law, in equity, under contract or otherwise, or under any amendments, recodifications, supplements or any successor statute or law of or to any such statute or law.

5.2    Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if (i) mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; or (iii) by delivery to an independent third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery and providing for evidence of receipt at the office of the intended addressee. Notice so mailed shall be effective upon its deposit with the United States Postal Service or any successor thereto; notice sent by a commercial delivery service shall be effective upon delivery to such commercial delivery service; notice given by personal delivery shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee; and notice given by other means shall be effective only if and when received at the designated address of the intended addressee.

For purposes of such notices, the addresses of the parties shall be as follows:

5.3    GOVERNING LAW. THE CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER GENERAL AGREEMENTS EVIDENCED BY THIS GUARANTY WILL BE GENERALLY GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, (A)  ANY MATTERS WITH RESPECT TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIEN OR SECURITY INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE SUCH MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AND (B) TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST GUARANTOR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY MAY, AT LENDER'S OPTION, BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (C) CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER AUTHORIZED BY TEXAS LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST GUARANTOR OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF GUARANTOR'S PROPERTY IN COMPETENT COURTS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY GUARANTOR AGAINST LENDER SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.

5.4    Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

5.5    Amendments. This Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

5.6    Parties Bound; Assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives. Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights under this Guaranty in connection with any assignment of the Loan and the Loan Documents. Any assignee or transferee of Lender shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded to Lender under this Guaranty. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

5.7    Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.

It shall not be necessary that the signature and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature and acknowledgment of all Persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.

All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature and acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures and acknowledgments thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature and acknowledgment pages. This Guaranty shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Guarantor and when Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto. This Guaranty, and any and all signed certificates and other documents delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or e-mail transmission (e.g. "pdf" or "tif"). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all parties to this Guaranty. Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or e-mail document or signature.

5.10    Rights and Remedies. If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

5.11    ENTIRETY. THIS GUARANTY EMBODIES THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO GUARANTOR'S GUARANTY OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN GUARANTOR AND LENDER.

5.12    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS GUARANTY, THE NOTE, THE LIEN INSTRUMENT, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN

5.13    Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. If at any time any payment of the principal or interest under the Note or any other amount payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment has been due but not made at such time.
