ARTICLE I

DEFINED TERMS

For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall apply:

Section 1.1 “50% Termination” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.17.

Section 1.2 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Section 1.3 “Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the preamble.

Section 1.4 “Approval of the Partners’ Representatives” means the written approval of at least two (2) of the Partners’ Representatives with respect to any matter or transaction (for the avoidance of doubt, no vote in favor of any transaction by any of the Partners’ Representatives or any of their Affiliates in their capacity as owner shares of the REIT or OP Units, shall constitute such approval).

Section 1.5 “Approved Liability” means:

(a) A liability of the Operating Partnership (or of an entity whose separate existence from the Operating Partnership is disregarded for Federal income tax purposes) with respect to which all of the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the liability is secured by real property or other assets (the “Collateral”) owned directly or indirectly by the Operating Partnership (or by an entity whose separate existence from the Operating Partnership is disregarded for Federal income tax purposes);

(ii) on the date on which the Operating Partnership designated such liability as an Approved Liability, the outstanding principal amount (and any accrued and unpaid interest) of the liability and any other Approved Liabilities secured by such Collateral at such time was no more than 70% of the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Operating Partnership) of the Collateral at such time, provided that if interest on such liability is not required to be paid at least annually or if the documents evidencing such liability permit the borrower to borrow additional amounts that are secured by the Collateral, the outstanding principal amount of such liability shall include the maximum amount that could be so added to the principal amount of such liability without a default;

(iii) the liability constitutes “qualified nonrecourse financing” as defined in Section 465(b)(6) of the Code with respect to the Protected Partners (disregarding the guaranties by the Guaranty Partners);

(iv) no other person has executed any guarantees with respect to such liability other than: (A) guarantees by the Guaranty Partners; (B) guarantees by Affiliates of the Operating Partnership, provided that each applicable Guaranty Partner indemnifies each such Affiliate against any liability of such Affiliate (to the extent such liability does not exceed such Guaranty Partner’s Required Liability Amount) arising solely from the existence or performance of such guaranty; and (C) recourse carve out guaranties (i.e., bad-boy guaranties); and

(v) the Collateral does not provide security for another liability (other than another Approved Liability) that ranks senior to, or pari passu with, the liability described in clause (i) above.

For purposes of determining whether clause (ii) has been satisfied in situations where one or more potential Approved Liabilities are secured by more than one item of Collateral, the Operating Partnership shall allocate such liabilities among such items of Collateral in proportion to their relative fair market values (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Operating Partnership);

(b) A liability of the Operating Partnership that:

(i) is not secured by any of the assets of the Operating Partnership and is a general, recourse obligation of the Operating Partnership; and

(ii) is not provided by a lender that has an interest in the Operating Partnership or is related to the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 465(b)(3)(C) or the Code; or

(c) Any other indebtedness approved by the Partners’ Representative (or his successor or designee) in his sole and absolute discretion.

Section 1.10 “Debt Notification Event” means, with respect to an Approved Liability, any transaction in which such liability shall be refinanced, otherwise repaid (excluding for this purpose, scheduled payments of principal occurring prior to the maturity date of such liability), or guaranteed by any of the REIT, the Operating Partnership, or one or more of their Affiliates, or guaranteed by one or more partners of the Operating Partnership.

Section 1.11 “Exchange” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.1(b).

Section 1.12 “Formation Transaction Documentation” means all of the agreements, substantially in the forms accompanying the Confidential Request for Consent dated February 22, 2013, pursuant to which the REIT or the Operating Partnership will acquire a portfolio of properties currently owned, directly or indirectly, by the entities set forth in such agreements.

Section 1.18 “Guaranty Partner” means: (i) each signatory on Schedule II attached hereto, as amended from time to time; (ii) any person who holds OP Units and who acquired such OP Units from another Guaranty Partner in a transaction in which such person’s adjusted basis in such OP Units, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to the adjusted basis of the other Guaranty Partner in such OP Units; and (iii) with respect to a Guaranty Partner that is Pass Through Entity, and solely for purposes of computing the amount to be paid under Section 2.4 with respect to such Guaranty Partner, any person who (y) holds an interest in such Guaranty Partner, either directly or through one or more Pass Through Entities, and (z) is required to include all or a portion of the income of such Guaranty Partner in its own gross income.

Section 1.19 “Guaranty Opportunity” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.4(b).

Section 1.20 “Make Whole Amount” means:

(a) with respect to any Protected Partner that recognizes gain under Section 704(c) of the Code as a result of an Property Indemnification Period Transfer, the sum of (i) the product of (x) the income and gain recognized by such Protected Partner under Section 704(c) of the Code in respect of such Property Indemnification Period Transfer (taking into account any adjustments under Section 743 of the Code to which such Protected Partner is entitled) multiplied by (y) the Make Whole Tax Rate, plus (ii) an amount equal to the combined Federal, applicable state and local income taxes (calculated using the Make Whole Tax Rate) imposed on such Protected Partner as a result of the receipt by such Protected Partner of a payment under Section 2.2 (the “Gross Up Amount”); provided, however, that the Gross Up Amount shall be computed without regard to any losses, credit, or other tax attributes that such Protected Partner might have that would reduce its actual tax liability; and

(b) with respect to any Guaranty Partner that recognizes gain as a result of a breach by the Operating Partnership of the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof, the sum of (i) the product of (x) the income and gain recognized by such Guaranty Partner by reason of such breach, multiplied by (y) the Make Whole Tax Rate, plus (ii) an amount equal to the combined Federal, applicable state and local income taxes (calculated using the Make Whole Tax Rate) imposed on such Guaranty Partner as a result of the receipt by such Guaranty Partner of a payment under Section 2.4 (the “Debt Gross Up Amount”); provided, however, that the Debt Gross Up Amount shall be computed without regard to any losses, credit, or other tax attributes that such Guaranty Partner might have that would reduce its actual tax liability.

For purposes of calculating the amount of Section 704(c) gain that is allocated to a Protected Partner, (i) subject to clause (ii) below, any “reverse Section 704(c) gain” allocated to such Protected Partner pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.704-3(a)(6) shall not be taken into account, and (ii) if, as a result of adjustments to the Gross Asset Value (as defined in the OP Agreement) of the Protected Properties pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value as set forth in the OP Agreement, all or a portion of the gain recognized by the Operating Partnership that would have been Section 704(c) gain without regard to such adjustments becomes or is treated as “reverse Section 704(c) gain” or Section 704(b) gain under Section 704 of the Code, then such gain shall continue to be treated as Section 704(c) gain; provided that the total amount of 704(c) gain and income taken into account for purpose of calculating the Make Whole Amount shall not exceed the initial Section 704(c) gain amount as of the Closing Date (whether or not equal to the estimated amount set forth on Exhibit B).

Section 1.21 “Make Whole Tax Rate” means, with respect to a Protected Partner who is entitled to receive a payment under Section 2.2 and with respect to a Guaranty Partner who is entitled to receive payment under Section 2.4, the highest combined statutory Federal, state and local tax rate in respect of the income or gain that gave rise to such payment, taking into account the character of the income and gain in the hands of such Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner, as applicable (reduced, in the case of Federal taxes, by the deduction allowed for income taxes paid to a state or locality), for the taxable year in which the event that gave rise to such payment under Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Operating Partnership that such Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner, as applicable, is not entitled to a Federal income tax deduction for all or a portion of the income taxes paid to a state or locality, the Make Whole Tax Rate applicable to such Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner shall be reduced only by the deduction, if any, the Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner is entitled to take for such taxes.

ARTICLE II

TAX MATTERS

Section 2.1 Taxable Transfers.

(a) Unless the Operating Partnership receives the Approval of the Partners’ Representatives with respect to a Property Indemnification Period Transfer, during the Property Indemnification Period, the Operating Partnership shall indemnify the Protected Partners as set forth in Section 2.2 if the Operating Partnership or any entity in which the Operating Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest shall cause or permit (i) any Transfer of all or any portion of a Protected Property (including any interest therein or in the entity owning, directly or indirectly, the Protected Property) in a transaction that would result in the recognition of taxable income or gain by any Protected Partner under Section 704(c) of the Code, or (ii) any Fundamental Transaction that would result in the recognition of taxable income or gain to any Protected Partner (such a Fundamental Transaction and such a Transfer, collectively a “Property Indemnification Period Transfer”).

(b) Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any Property Indemnification Period Transfer of a Protected Property (including any interest therein or in the entity owning, directly or indirectly, the Protected Property): (i) in a transaction in which no gain is required to be recognized by a Protected Partner (an “Exchange”), including a transaction qualifying under Section 1031 or Section 721 (or any successor statutes) of the Code; provided, however, that any property acquired by the Operating Partnership in the Exchange shall remain subject to the provisions of this Article II in place of the exchanged Protected Property for the remainder of the Property Indemnification Period; (ii) as a result of the condemnation or other taking of any Protected Property by a governmental entity in an eminent domain proceeding or otherwise, provided that the Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition as either a tax-free like-kind exchange under Section 1031 or a tax-free reinvestment of proceeds under Section 1033, provided that in no event shall the Operating Partnership be obligated to acquire or invest in any property that it otherwise would not have acquired or invested in.

(c) For any taxable Transfer of all or any portion of any property of the Operating Partnership which is not a Property Indemnification Period Transfer, the Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Limited Partners to minimize any taxes payable by the Limited Partners in connection with any such Transfers.

Section 2.2 Indemnification for Taxable Transfers.

(a) In the event of a Property Indemnification Period Transfer described in Section 2.1(a), each Protected Partner shall, within 30 days after the closing of such Property Indemnification Period Transfer, receive from the Operating Partnership an amount of cash equal to the estimated Make Whole Amount applicable to such Property Indemnification Period Transfer. If it is later determined that the true Make Whole Amount applicable to a Protected Partner exceeds the estimated Make Whole Amount applicable to such Protected Partner, then the Operating Partnership shall pay such excess to such Protected Partner within 90 days after the closing of the Property Indemnification Period Transfer, and if such estimated Make Whole Amount exceeds the true Make Whole Amount, then such Protected Partner shall promptly refund such excess to the Operating Partnership, but only to the extent such excess was actually received by such Protected Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of any Protected Partner under Section 2.1(a) shall be a claim against the Operating Partnership for the Make Whole Amount as set forth in this Section 2.2, and no Protected Partner shall be entitled to pursue a claim for specific performance of the covenants set forth in Section 2.1(a) or bring a claim against any person that acquires a Protected Property from the Operating Partnership in violation of Section 2.1(a).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, a vote in favor of a Property Indemnification Period Transfer by a Protected Partner in its capacity as an owner of OP Units or shares of the REIT shall not constitute a waiver of such Protected Partner’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.2 as a result of such Property Indemnification Period Transfer.

Section 2.3 Section 704(c) Gains. A good faith estimate of the initial amount of Section 704(c) gain allocable to each Protected Partner as of the Closing Date of the Formation Transactions is set forth on Exhibit B hereto. The parties acknowledge that the initial amount of such Section 704(c) gain may be adjusted over time as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 2.4 Approved Liability Maintenance and Allocation.

(a) During the Guaranty Indemnification Period, the Operating Partnership shall: (i) maintain on a continuous basis an amount of Approved Liabilities at least equal to the Required Liability Amount; and (ii) provide the Partners’ Representatives, promptly upon request, with a description of the nature and amount of any Approved Liabilities that are available to be guaranteed by the Guaranty Partners pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall not be required to maintain any amount of Approved Liabilities in excess of the aggregate Required Liability Amount of all Guaranty Partners.

(b) (i) During the Guaranty Indemnification Period, the Operating Partnership shall provide each Guaranty Partner with the opportunity to execute a guaranty, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or otherwise in a form and manner that receives the Approval of the Partners’ Representatives, of one or more Approved Liabilities in an amount up to such Guaranty Partner’s Required Liability Amount (each such opportunity and each opportunity required by Section 2.4(c), a “Guaranty Opportunity”), and (ii) after the Guaranty Indemnification Period, and for so long as a Guaranty Partner has not had a 50% Termination, the Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Guaranty Opportunities available to each Guaranty Partner, provided that in the case of this clause (ii), the Operating Partnership shall not be required to incur any indebtedness that it would not otherwise have incurred, as determined by the Operating Partnership in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all guarantees required to be made available by the Operating Partnership for execution by all Guaranty Partners need not exceed the aggregate Required Liability Amount of all Guaranty Partners. The Operating Partnership shall have the discretion to identify the Approved Liability or Approved Liabilities that shall be made available for guaranty by each Guaranty Partner. Each Guaranty Partner and its indirect owners may allocate the Guaranty Opportunity afforded to such Guaranty Partner in any manner they choose. The Operating Partnership agrees to file its tax returns allocating any debt subject to a Guaranty to the applicable Guaranty Partners. Each Guaranty Partner shall bear the costs incurred by it in connection with the execution of any guaranty to which it is a party. To the extent a Guaranty Partner executes a guaranty, the Operating Partnership shall deliver a copy of such guaranty to the lender under the Guaranteed Liability promptly after receiving such copy from the relevant Guaranty Partner.

(c) During the Guaranty Indemnification Period, the Operating Partnership shall not allow a Debt Notification Event to occur unless the Operating Partnership provides at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (a “Section 2.4 Notice”) to each Guaranty Partner that may be affected thereby. The Section 2.4 Notice shall describe the Debt Notification Event and designate one or more Approved Liabilities that may be guaranteed by the Guaranty Partners pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of the refinanced or repaid Approved Liability that was guaranteed by such Guaranty Partner immediately prior to the date of the Debt Notification Event. The Section 2.4 Notice shall be deemed to have been provided when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other means of written or electronic communication (including by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or commercial courier service) to the Guaranty Partner at the address set forth in the Register (as defined in the OP Agreement). Any Guaranty Partner that desires to execute a guaranty following the receipt of a Section 2.4 Notice shall provide the Operating Partnership with notice thereof within ten (10) days after the date of the Section 2.4 Notice.

(d) Provided the Operating Partnership satisfies its obligations under Section 2.4(a), (b) and (c) of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall have no liability to a Guaranty Partner under Section 2.4(e) for breach of Section 2.4, whether or not such Guaranty Partner timely accepts its Guaranty Opportunity. Furthermore, the Operating Partnership makes no representation or warranty to any Guaranty Partner concerning the treatment or effect of any guaranty under Federal, state, local, or foreign tax law, and bears no responsibility for any tax liability of any Guaranty Partner or Affiliate thereof that is attributable to a reallocation, by a taxing authority, of debt subject to a guaranty (other than a reallocation that results from any act or omission taken by the Operating Partnership or one of its Affiliates in violation of this Section 2.4 or an act or omission that is indemnifiable under Section 2.4(e) of this Agreement).

(e) If the Operating Partnership shall fail to comply with any provision of this Section 2.4, the Operating Partnership shall pay, within thirty (30) days of such failure, a Make Whole Payment to each Guaranty Partner who recognizes income or gain as a result of such failure equal to the estimated Make Whole Amount applicable to such failure. If it is determined that the true Make Whole Amount applicable to a Guaranty Partner exceeds the estimated Make Whole Amount applicable to such Guaranty Partner, then the Operating Partnership shall pay such excess to such Guaranty Partner within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination, and if such estimated Make Whole Amount exceeds the true Make Whole Amount, then such Guaranty Partner shall pay such excess to the Operating Partnership within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination, but only to the extent such excess was actually received by such Guaranty Partner.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of any Guaranty Partner for a breach or violation of the covenants set forth in Section 2.4 shall be a claim a claim against the Operating Partnership for the Make Whole Amount as set forth in Section 2.4(e), and no Guaranty Partner shall be entitled to pursue a claim for specific performance of the covenants set forth in Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement (and any closing document executed in connection herewith) shall be governed by the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 6.08 of the Contribution Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2013, by and among the Operating Partnership, the REIT and the applicable entity in which the Protected Partner or Guaranty Partner, as applicable, held an equity interest immediately prior to the Formation Transactions.

FORM OF GUARANTY

[See Attached]

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made as of [—], 2013, by and among the guarantors identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in favor of [—] (the “Lender”).

RECITALS

Pursuant to that certain [—] dated [—], by and among [—] (the “Borrower”) and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), the Lender made a loan to the Borrower in the original maximum principal amount of $[—] (the “Loan”), which Loan is secured by, among other collateral, [—] (the “Deed of Trust”), which grants to Lender a security interest in certain real property located in [—] and further described in the Deed of Trust and related personal property (the foregoing, collectively, the “Property” and together with any other property securing the Loan, if any, the “Collateral”). The documents which evidence the Loan or the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Deed of Trust, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”

In order to assure the Borrower’s payment of its obligations under the Loan and the performance of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan and the Deed of Trust, the Guarantors are willing to guarantee a portion of the amounts due under the Loan on the terms set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

1. Guaranty.

(a) If (i) an event of a default which permits the Lender to accelerate the repayment of the obligations of the Borrower to the Lender secured by the Deed of Trust (collectively, the “Obligations”) has occurred (such default and repayment obligation referred to hereinafter as a “Default”), and (ii) the Lender has accelerated the Loan as a result of such Default, then each Guarantor, severally and not jointly, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay directly to the Lender on behalf of the Borrower in lawful money of the United States of America an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Guaranty Percentage (as defined below) of the Shortfall Amount (as defined below); provided that no demand shall be made under this Guaranty for payment by any Guarantor as a result of a Default (x) until such time as the Lender shall have fully and completely exercised (and not waived) all rights, powers, and remedies it has with respect to foreclosure on the Property and pursued all of its available rights and remedies against other assets of the Borrower which secure the Loan, if any, and any recoveries from such actions have been applied to reduce the amount of the Obligations or (y) following the date any such Default is cured. For purposes of this Guaranty, the following definitions shall apply. The “Shortfall Amount” shall equal the positive excess of (i) the lesser of: (A) the aggregate of the “Maximum Liability” (as listed opposite the Guarantors’ names on Exhibit A attached hereto) of all Guarantors whose obligations under this Guaranty are then

outstanding; and (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations immediately prior to the Default (the “Aggregate Maximum Liability”), over (ii) the sum of all cash and other amounts received or otherwise recovered by the Lender together with the fair market value of the Property obtained by the Lender (without regard to whether such amounts and value are applied to principal, interest, late fees, penalties and costs of collection), if any, after the Default from or on behalf of the Borrower in proceedings against the Borrower or the Property under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor’s “Guaranty Percentage” shall equal the quotient of (i) such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability (as listed opposite the Guarantors’ names on Exhibit A attached hereto) over (ii) the Aggregate Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the maximum amount of each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall in no event be greater than the “Maximum Liability” listed opposite the Guarantor’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto, and under no circumstances shall a Guarantor be obligated to pay an aggregate amount under this Guaranty in excess of such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are separate and distinct from the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder and are not joint and several.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Guaranty, no Guarantor shall have any obligation to make any payment pursuant to this Guaranty to the extent that the Default occurs as a result of, or in connection with “material uninsured damage” to the Property caused by an earthquake or act of terrorism. For purposes of this Guaranty, the term “material uninsured damage” shall refer to damage to the Property that is not compensated for by insurance and which is in an amount greater than twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount of the Loan.

2. Term of Guaranty. This Guaranty, as well as all of the rights, duties, requirements and obligations created hereunder, shall expire and be of no further force or effect with respect to each Guarantor as of the earlier of (a) the date on which the Obligations under the Loan are satisfied in full, or (b) the Termination Date with respect to such Guarantor. The “Termination Date” with respect to a Guarantor shall be the effective date set forth in a written notice from such Guarantor to the Borrower and the Lender, stating that such Guarantor is terminating its obligations under this Guaranty, provided that (i) such date shall not be earlier than the earlier of (x) three (3) months after the date such Guarantor has disposed of all of its equity interest in the Operating Partnership or (y) six (6) months after such Guarantor has given written notice to the Operating Partnership that he wishes to be released from his obligations under this Guaranty, and (ii) the fair market value of the Collateral exceeds the outstanding balance of the Obligations, including accrued and unpaid interest, as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder shall continue after the Termination Date with respect to such Guarantor to the extent of any claims that are attributable fully and solely to an event or action that occurred on or before the Termination Date with respect to such Guarantor.

3. Remedies. If a Guarantor fails to promptly perform his obligations under this Guaranty, the Lender may from time to time bring an action at law or in equity, or both, to compel such Guarantor to perform his obligations hereunder, and to collect in any such action compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense sustained or incurred by the Lender as a consequence of the failure of such Guarantor to perform his obligations together with interest thereon at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan.

4. Rights of the Lender. Without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower, the Lender, or any subsequent holder of the Loan or beneficiary of the Deed of Trust may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Guarantors, agree to any amendment, waiver, modification or alteration of the Loan or the Deed of Trust relating to the Borrower and its rights and obligations thereunder (including, without limitation, renewal, waiver or variation of the maturity of the indebtedness pursuant to the Loan, increase or reduction of the rate of interest payable under the Loan, release, substitution or addition of any guarantor or endorser and acceptance of any security for the Loan). The Loan may be extended one or more times without notice to or consent from the Guarantors, and the Guarantors shall remain at all times bound to its obligations under this Guaranty, notwithstanding such extensions.

5. Guarantors’ General Waivers. Until the Obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor waives: (a) any defense now existing or hereafter arising based upon any legal disability or other defense of the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor or other Person (as defined below), or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other guarantor or other Person from any cause other than full payment and performance of all obligations due under the Loan Documents; (b) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower or any other Person, or any defect in the formation of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guarantee or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection, or failure of priority of any security for the obligations guarantied hereunder; (d) subject to Section 1(a), any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise (or any other comparable laws of any other State applicable to this Guaranty or the security for the Loan); (e) any defense based upon the Lender’ failure to disclose to such Guarantor any information concerning Borrower’s or any other Person’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on the Borrower’s or any other Person’s ability to pay and perform all obligations due under the Loan or any of the other Loan Documents; (f) any failure by the Lender to give notice to the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person of the sale or other disposition of security held for the Loan, and any defect in notice given by the Lender in connection with any such sale or disposition of security held for the Loan; (g) any failure of the Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or disposition of security held for the Loan, including, without limitation, any failure by the Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of such security; (h) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal, or that reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal’s obligation; (i) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (j) any defense based upon the Lender’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (k) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; and (l) any defense based upon the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by the Borrower to the Lender or intended or understood by

the Lender or such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the payment and performance of all obligations due under the Loan or any of the other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Loan or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, and subject to the proviso in Section 1(a), each Guarantor further waives any and all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that if the Lender forecloses on any real property collateral, including the Property, pledged by the Borrower, then the Lender may collect from such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. Subject to Section 1(a), the foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, until the Obligations are paid in full (and subject to the provisos set forth in Paragraph 6), and subject to the proviso in Section 1(a), each Guarantor expressly waives to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2844, inclusive, 2846 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 (or any of such sections), or any other jurisdiction to the extent the same are applicable to this Guaranty or the agreements, covenants or obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other comparable laws of any other State applicable to this Guaranty or the security for the Loan).

6. Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Subject to Section 1(a), this is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be in addition to and shall not limit or in any way affect the obligations of the Guarantors under any other existing or future guaranties unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing. Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the payment or performance of the Loan or Deed of Trust (including, without limitation, any property collateralizing the Obligations), arising solely from the existence or performance of this Guaranty. Each Guarantor further agrees that it will not enter into any agreement providing, directly or indirectly, for contribution, reimbursement or repayment by the Borrower or any other Person on account of any payment by such Guarantor and further agrees that any such agreement, whether existing or hereafter entered into, would be void. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the preceding waiver, each Guarantor and the Operating Partnership by their acceptance hereof agree that (i) any payment to the Lender or any Indemnified Party by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be treated as a contribution by such Guarantor to the capital of the Operating Partnership, followed by a contribution by the Operating Partnership to the capital of Borrower, or, if the Operating Partnership owns Borrower through one or more entities, as a contribution by the Operating Partnership to the capital of Borrower through successive contributions through each such entity, and any such payment shall not cause such Guarantor to be a creditor of the Operating Partnership, the Borrower or any partner or affiliate thereof, and (ii) such Guarantor shall not be entitled to, and shall not receive, the return of any such capital contribution or receive any consideration in exchange therefor (including, but not limited to, any distribution from the Operating Partnership with respect to such contribution or interests or units in the Operating Partnership).

7. Indemnification of Other Parties. If, for any reason, (A) the Operating Partnership or any of its partners or affiliates, other than Borrower (each, an “Indemnified Party”), is required to make (i) any payment to the Lender or (ii) any contribution to the Operating Partnership or the Borrower with respect to the portion of the Loan for which a payment pursuant to this Guaranty is required, or (B) the Lender’ ability to make a claim against any Guarantor is reduced solely as a result of the Lender’s concurrent status as an Indemnified Party (collectively, an “Indemnified Party Outlay”), each Guarantor shall absolutely and unconditionally reimburse the Indemnified Party for, or pay to the Lender (as applicable), the lesser of (i) such Guarantor’s Guaranty Percentage of the full amount of such Indemnified Party Outlay or (ii) the maximum amount such Guarantor would have been obligated to pay the Lender under Paragraph 1 hereof had such payment not been made by the Indemnified Party or had such reduction not occurred and provided the conditions set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof triggering such obligations by such Guarantor shall have occurred. Each Guarantor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party, or make a payment to the Lender, as and to the extent required by this Paragraph 7 within 60 days after receiving written notice of an Indemnified Party Outlay from the Indemnified Party. It is intended that each Indemnified Party be a third party beneficiary of the obligations of the Guarantors under this Paragraph 7, and that each Indemnified Party shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Guaranty. Any payments to an Indemnified Party or the Lender hereunder shall for all purposes hereunder be treated by each Guarantor and the Operating Partnership as capital contributions by each Guarantor to the Operating Partnership, followed by capital contributions by the Operating Partnership to the Borrower, or, if the Operating Partnership owns Borrower through one or more entities, as a contribution by the Operating Partnership to the capital of Borrower through successive contributions through each such entity, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6 above.

8. Unsecured Obligations. This Guaranty is not secured and shall not be deemed to be secured by any security instrument unless such security instrument expressly recites that it secures this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Deed of Trust secure this Guaranty.

9. Understanding With Respect to Waivers. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in this Guaranty are made with such Guarantor’s full knowledge of their significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of said waivers shall hereafter be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to any applicable law or against public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. Rules of Construction. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include the Borrower and any other Person at any time assuming or otherwise becoming primarily liable for all or any part of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan or any of the other Loan Documents. The term “Person” as used herein shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity of any kind whatsoever. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and vice versa. All headings appearing in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Guaranty.

11. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAWS. EACH GUARANTOR AND ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES IN ANY MANNER OBLIGATED TO THE LENDER UNDER THIS GUARANTY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ALSO CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY ANY MEANS AUTHORIZED BY CALIFORNIA OR FEDERAL LAW (OR THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE APPLICABLE TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE SECURITY FOR THE LOAN).

12. Disclosure. The Operating Partnership shall furnish a copy of this Guaranty to the Lender immediately after its execution by the Guarantors.

13. No Assignment. None of the parties shall be entitled to assign their rights or obligations under this Guaranty to any other Person without the written consent of the other parties.

14. Entire Agreement. The Guarantors, the Operating Partnership and, by the Lender’s acceptance of the delivery of a copy of this Guaranty pursuant to Paragraph 12, the Lender agree that this Guaranty contains the entire understanding and agreement between them with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be amended, modified or superseded, except by an agreement in writing signed by all of such parties in accordance with Paragraph 16.

15. Notices. Any notice given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally to the other party, or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses listed below or to such other address with respect to which notice is subsequently provided in the manner set forth above.

[—]

16. Amendments. This Guaranty shall not be modified, amended or (except as expressly provided herein) terminated in a manner which is materially adverse to the Lender, the Borrower or any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such party.

17. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Guaranty shall bind and benefit, the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Guarantor, the Borrower, the Lender and the Indemnified Parties. If any provision of this Guaranty shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from this Guaranty and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of this Guaranty.

18. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (including by scan or facsimile) with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

19. Condition of the Borrower. The Guarantors are not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of the Lender or any other Person. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that it is not relying upon or expecting the Lender to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in the Lender’s possession concerning the same or any other matter. By executing this Guaranty, each Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of this type, which risks it acknowledges. The Guarantors shall have no right to require the Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to the Obligations, the financial condition or character of the Property, the Borrower’s ability to pay or perform the Obligations, the existence or non-existence of any guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations, any action or non-action on the part of the Lender, the Borrower or any other Person, or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.

20. Ambiguity. Each Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law (including without limitation California Civil Code section 1654) (or any other comparable laws of any other State applicable to this Guaranty or the security for the Loan) to the effect that an ambiguity in a contract or agreement should be interpreted against the party that drafted the contract or agreement or was responsible for the drafting of the contract or agreement.
