ARTICLE 1 NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1 Guaranty of Obligations.
(a) Each Responsible Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders and their successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Recourse Obligations, as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Each Responsible Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Recourse Obligations as a primary obligor.
(b) As used herein, the term “Recourse Obligations” means any Losses (as herein defined) actually incurred or suffered by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders and their permitted assignees arising out of or in connection with any of the following actions, in each case taken or not taken, as the case may be, by the Partnership, any Property Owner, any Responsible Party or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates (as defined below), agents, contractors or anyone acting at the direction of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “RR Parties” and each a “RR Party”), and in each case whether occurring before or after the date hereof: (i) distributions, payments or transfers of, or the failure to make distributions, payments or transfers of, Available Cash, Class A Capital Event Cash Flow, or Class B Capital Event Cash Flow, or the Property or any portion thereof, (ii) the failure to make any Purchase Payment, redemption payment, payment in respect of any indemnity obligation under the Limited Partnership Agreement, or any payment in connection with the dissolution of the Partnership, or the purchase of Rockpoint REIT Interests or Partnership Interests when due, or (iii) the failure to honor any Conversion Election made by a Rockpoint Preferred Holder, in any case that is a breach of the Limited Partnership Agreement that has not been cured before the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
(c) As used herein, the term “Losses” means the Available Cash, Class A Capital Event Cash Flow, or Class B Capital Event Cash Flow, or the value of any Security or Property or any portion thereof, or the amount of any Purchase Payment, redemption payment, payment in respect of any indemnity obligation under the Limited Partnership Agreement, or any payment in connection with the dissolution of the Partnership or the purchase of Rockpoint REIT interests or Partnership Interests, which, if not for a breach of the Limited Partnership Agreement
by the Partnership, RRT or any other RR Party, would have been, or would have been required to have been, distributed, paid or transferred to (or imputed to the capital account of) the Rockpoint Preferred Holders or REIT Owners under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, enforcing or defending any right hereunder and/or breach hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents, the Rockpoint Preferred Holders shall not be deemed to have waived any right which the Rockpoint Preferred Holders may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Preferred Investment.
Section 1.2 Termination of Guaranty. The obligations and liability of the Responsible Parties, and the rights of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders to assert a claim against the Responsible Parties for performance and payment of the Recourse Obligations, shall terminate following: (i) conversion by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders of their Preferred Units to Common Units pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement; or (ii) the redemption or purchase of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ Preferred Interests in the Partnership, directly or indirectly, by the Partnership or the Responsible Parties pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, in which, following such redemption or purchase, the Rockpoint Preferred Holders no longer hold Preferred Units, directly or indirectly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Recourse Obligations that arose prior to such termination and that remain outstanding, shall continue as the valid obligations and liabilities of the Responsible Parties until satisfied in full.
Section 1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Agreement is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance of the Recourse Obligations and not a guaranty of collection. This Agreement may not be revoked by any Responsible Party and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Recourse Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by any Responsible Party. The fact that at any time or from time to time the Recourse Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of any Responsible Party to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders with respect to the Recourse Obligations. This Agreement may be enforced by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders, and any subsequent holder of the Preferred Interests of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders under the Limited Partnership Agreement, and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of any such Preferred Interests.
Section 1.4 Recourse Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Recourse Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of the Responsible Parties to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders hereunder are joint and several obligations of the Responsible Parties, and shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of the Partnership or any other party against the Rockpoint Preferred Holders or against payment of the Recourse Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Recourse Obligations (or the transactions creating the Recourse Obligations) or otherwise.
Section 1.5 Payment By Responsible Parties. If all or any part of the Recourse Obligations is or shall give rise to a monetary obligation, and such monetary obligation shall not be punctually paid when due under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, whether at
demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, the Responsible Parties shall, immediately upon demand by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by the Responsible Parties, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Recourse Obligations to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders or REIT Owners at the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Recourse Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Recourse Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for the Rockpoint Preferred Holders (and the Responsible Parties hereby waive any rights which the Responsible Parties may have to require the Rockpoint Preferred Holders), in order to enforce the obligations of the Responsible Parties hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Partnership or others liable for the outstanding Preferred Interests or the Recourse Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ rights after an Event of Default, (iii) enforce the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ rights against any other guarantors of the Recourse Obligations, (iv) join the Partnership or any others liable on the Recourse Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Agreement, (v) exhaust any remedies available to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders under any of the Transaction Documents, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Recourse Obligations. The Rockpoint Preferred Holders shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Recourse Obligations; provided, that any amounts on account of the Recourse Obligations received by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders from sources other than the Responsible Parties shall reduce the liability of the Responsible Parties for the Recourse Obligations by such amounts received, including, without limitation, pursuant to the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement.
Section 1.7 Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein or with respect to any notice and cure periods set forth herein or in the Limited Partnership Agreement, each Responsible Party agrees to the provisions of the Transaction Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) acceptance of this Agreement, (ii) any amendment of the Investment Agreement, the Limited Partnership Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iii) the execution and delivery by any Responsible Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, and the Rockpoint Preferred Holders of any other agreement or of the execution and delivery by any Responsible Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, of any other document arising under the Transaction Documents or in connection with any Property, (iv) the occurrence of (A) any breach by any Responsible Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, of any of the terms or conditions of the Investment Agreement or the Limited Partnership Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (v) the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ transfer or disposition of the Recourse Obligations, or any part thereof, (vi) the enforcement of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ rights under the Investment Agreement or the Limited Partnership Agreement, (vii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by RRT or MCRLP, or (viii) any other action at any time taken or omitted by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Investment Agreement, the Limited Partnership Agreement, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Recourse Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.

The Responsible Parties shall, promptly upon demand by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders, pay the Rockpoint Preferred Holders all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders’ rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum, compounded monthly, from the fifteenth (15th) business day after the date requested in writing by the Rockpoint Preferred Holders until the date of payment to the Rockpoint Preferred Holders. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Recourse Obligations.
Section 1.9 Effect of Bankruptcy.

It is the intention of the Partnership and the Responsible Parties that a Responsible Party’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by the Responsible Parties’ performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
Section 1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Responsible Party 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 any law subrogating any Responsible Party to the rights of the Rockpoint Preferred Holders), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Partnership or any other party liable for the payment of any or all of the Recourse Obligations, other than from the other Responsible Parties, for any payment made by any Responsible Party under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.
