It is understood and agreed that this Guaranty, and the undertakings, liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, shall not be affected, discharged, impaired or varied by any act, omission or circumstance whatsoever (whether or not specifically enumerated above) except the due and punctual payment of the Affiliate Notes, and then only to the extent thereof.

Section 6. Guarantor agrees that immediately upon the failure of any Affiliate Borrower to pay the Guarantied Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise, and upon written demand by Lender, Guarantor shall pay to Lender the then remaining full unpaid principal balance together with interest on the Guarantied Obligations as if the Guarantied Obligations constituted the direct and primary obligation of Guarantor. This Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and not of collection, and Lender shall be entitled to proceed directly against Guarantor for payment of the Guarantied Obligations without first pursuing or exhausting any remedy against any Affiliate Borrower or otherwise which Lender then may have under the Affiliate Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees that any failure of Lender to exercise its right to proceed directly against Guarantor, or any delay in the exercise thereof, shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender with respect thereto, but Lender may proceed directly against Guarantor at any time after any Affiliate Borrower’s failure to pay the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 7. Nothing in this Guaranty is intended or shall be construed to prevent Lender, upon the failure of any Affiliate Borrower to pay the Guarantied Obligations as and when the same become due and payable whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise, in the exercise of its sole discretion, from foreclosing the liens of the Affiliate Loan Documents and enforcing the provisions thereof.

Section 8. Guarantor agrees that in the event of the foreclosure of any Affiliate Mortgage and in the event of a deficiency resulting therefrom, Guarantor shall be and hereby is expressly made liable to Lender for the amount of such deficiency notwithstanding any provision of Colorado law which may prevent Lender from enforcing such deficiency against any Affiliate Borrower. In addition, Guarantor hereby waives and renounces any right to proceed against any Affiliate Borrower for any deficiency arising as a result of the foreclosure of the Junior Mortgage, which deficiency Lender may be unable to enforce against any Affiliate Borrower pursuant to Colorado law. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor or any Affiliate Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 9. The Lender may, without any notice whatsoever to anyone, sell, assign, or transfer all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and in such event, each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee or holder of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty as fully as if such assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers, and benefits.

Section 10. Guarantor hereby waives any and all legal requirements that Lender shall institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against anyone else, in respect of the Affiliate Notes or the Affiliate Loan Documents, as a condition precedent to bringing an action against Guarantor upon this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives any claim of marshaling of assets or other collateral against Lender. All remedies afforded to Lender by reason of this Guaranty are separate and cumulative remedies and it is agreed that no one of such remedies, whether exercised by Lender or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the other remedies available to Lender, and shall in no way limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable remedy which Lender may have in the collateral covered by the Affiliate Loan Documents. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender (should any such duty exist) to disclose to such or any other guarantor any matter of fact or other information related to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Affiliate Borrower or its properties or to any Affiliate Loan Document or the transactions undertaken pursuant to, or contemplated by, any such Affiliate Loan Document, whether now or in the future known by the Lender. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender (should any such duty exist) to disclose to such or any other guarantor any matter of fact or other information related to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its properties or to any Loan Document or the transactions undertaken pursuant to, or contemplated by, any such Loan Document, whether now or in the future known by Lender.

Section 11. Guarantor and Lender agree that, in lieu of any right to indemnification that the Guarantor might have as against any Affiliate Borrower, which right is hereby waived, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that the Guarantor fully satisfies and discharges any Affiliate Borrower’s obligations under the Affiliate Loan Documents. This right of subrogation shall be the Guarantor’s sole remedy against any Affiliate Borrower.

Section 12. All notices, demands, consents or requests which are either required or desired to be given or furnished hereunder (a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if either delivered personally or by overnight commercial courier or sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the parties hereinabove set out. Such Notice shall be effective upon receipt or refusal if by personal delivery, the first Business Day (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday on which national banks are authorized to be closed) after the deposit of such Notice with an overnight courier service by the time deadline for next Business Day delivery if by commercial courier, and upon the earliest of receipt or refusal (which shall include a failure to respond to notification of delivery by the U.S. Postal Service) or five (5) Business Days following mailing if sent by U.S. Postal Service mail. By Notice complying with the foregoing, each party may from time to time change the address to be subsequently applicable to it for the purpose of the foregoing.

Section 13. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and upon its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each and every future holder of any of the Affiliate Notes or any interest in the Guarantied Obligations. Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all costs or expenses, including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from Lender’s enforcement of this Guaranty.

Section 14. This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced according to and governed by the laws of Colorado (excluding conflicts of laws rules) and applicable federal law.

Section 15. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Executed copies of the signature pages of this Guaranty sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in either Tagged Image Format (“TIFF”) or Portable Document Format (“PDF”) shall be treated as originals, fully binding and with full legal force and effect, and the parties waive any rights they may have to object to such treatment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Guaranty by facsimile, TIFF or PDF also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart should not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Guaranty. The pages of any counterpart of this Guaranty containing any party’s signature or the acknowledgement of such party’s signature hereto may be detached therefrom without impairing the effect of the signature or acknowledgement, provided such pages are attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having additional pages containing the signatures or acknowledgements thereof of other parties.

Section 16. This Guaranty is intended by the parties hereto to be the final, complete and exclusive expression of the agreement between them with respect to the matters set forth herein. This Guaranty supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no oral agreements between the parties. No modification, rescission, waiver, release or amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be made, except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

Section 17. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or any other obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor or Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 18. Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State Court for Jefferson County, Colorado in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such United States Federal or Colorado Court. Guarantor irrevocably waives any objection, including without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceedings in such jurisdiction. Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Colorado by the delivery of copies of such process to each party at its address specified for notices to be given hereunder or by certified mail directed to such address.

NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
