SECTION 3. CLOSING.

Each Note Party and each of its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized or formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign entity and, as applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or, as applicable, in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Note Party and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority, as the case may be, (a) to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact and (b) to execute and deliver the Note Documents to which each is a party and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof, except in each case referred to in clause (a), to the extent that failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2.    Authorization, Etc. Each Note Document has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, as the case may be, on the part of each Note Party party thereto, and each Note Document (excluding the Notes) constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Note Party party thereto enforceable against each such Note Party in accordance with its terms, except

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3.    Disclosure. This Agreement, the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company prior to May 11, 2017 in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to projections, estimates and other forward-looking information, the Company and the other Note Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2016, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of any Note Party or any Subsidiary except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to any Note Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.4.    Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates    . (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) as of the date hereof complete and correct lists of each Note Party’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by a Note Party and each other Subsidiary.

(b)    All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by a Note Party and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and non‑assessable and are owned by such Note Party or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien that is prohibited by this Agreement.

(c)    Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate

‑6‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d)    No Subsidiary is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4, customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes and limitations imposed by the terms of any agreements governing Nonrecourse Indebtedness) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Note Parties or any of their Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.5.    Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Consolidated Group listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Consolidated Group as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year‑end adjustments and the absence of footnotes). The Consolidated Group does not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6.    Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Note Parties of each Note Document to which they are a party will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by‑laws, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which a Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Note Party or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.7.    Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Note Party of any Note Document to which they are a party, except for consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, filings and declarations which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect.

‑7‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

Section 5.8.    Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against or affecting any Note Party or any Subsidiary or any property of any Note Party or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    None of the Note Parties nor any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of law, ordinance, rule or regulation or order, judgment, decree or ruling is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) such default or violation could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9.    Taxes. Each Note Party and their Subsidiaries have filed all material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which a Note Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Section 5.10.    Title to Property; Leases. Each Note Party and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, their respective real properties necessary or used in the ordinary course of their business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement.

‑8‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

Section 5.11.    Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) Each Note Party and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

(b)    To the best knowledge of the Company, no product or service of any Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c)    To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of any Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by any Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12.    Compliance with ERISA.

The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make‑Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make‑Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3.    Allocation of Partial Prepayments. (a) In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

‑22‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

(b)    Any prepayments pursuant to Section 8.7 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders electing to participate in such prepayment.

Section 8.4.    Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each optional prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make‑Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5.    Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any other Note Party or any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company, any other Note Party or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amounts of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it, any other Note Party or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6.    Make‑Whole Amount.

“Make‑Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make‑Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

‑23‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask‑Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask‑Yield(s)” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

‑24‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‑day year composed of twelve 30‑day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7.    Change in Control.

(a)    Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice (the “Change in Control Notice”) of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such Change in Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the Notes as described in Section 8.7(b) hereof and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(e).

(b)    Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 8.7(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such Change in Control Notice (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not fewer than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice.

(c)    Acceptance. Any holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not fewer than 10 days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an

‑25‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d)    Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon but without any Make‑Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.

(e)    Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer and dated the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid (which shall be 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each such Note); (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the general nature and date of the Change in Control.

Section 8.8.    Payments Due on Non‑Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make‑Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Note Party or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Note Party or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Note Party or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of any Note Party (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary

‑48‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, or any other Note Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to any Note Party or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their

(c)    All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the REIT and its Subsidiaries or the Consolidated Group or to the determination of any amount for the REIT and its Subsidiaries or the Consolidated Group on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the REIT or the Consolidated Group, as applicable, is required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined therein.

Section 22.3.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4.    Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 22.5.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.6.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice‑of‑law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)    The Company and the REIT agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a)

‑51‑

American Assets Trust, L.P.        Note Purchase Agreement

brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c)    The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section.

(e)    THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

[FORM OF AFFILIATE GUARANTY]

AFFILIATE GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS AFFILIATE GUARANTY (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is executed as of May 23, 2017, by each undersigned Guarantor (each a “Guarantor,” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), for the benefit of the Purchasers (as defined below) and the other holders from time to time of the Notes (as defined below). The Purchasers and such other holders are herein collectively referred to as the “Holders” and individually a “Holder.”

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, American Assets Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”) and American Assets Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Company”), are entering into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 2017 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with the Persons listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”) simultaneously with the delivery of this Guaranty (this “Guaranty”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Note Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement of, $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.24% Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series E, due May 23, 2029 (the “Notes”).

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is either the REIT, which is the direct parent of the Company or a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company and will, directly or indirectly, benefit from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, this Guaranty is integral to the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, and the execution and delivery hereof is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Purchasers’ obligation to purchase the Notes.

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain substantial direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Notes by the Company and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Purchasers to purchase the Notes.

SCHEDULE C
(to Note Purchase Agreement)

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Purchasers to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and to purchase the Notes thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Holders of the Notes and the other parties to whom any Obligations are owing, and hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. GUARANTY.

Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the Obligations, including without limitation (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes issued by the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement, (ii) all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof, and (iii) all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by any Holder (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders, taken as a whole) in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof for which the Company is liable under the Note Purchase Agreement, and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Company or any other Note Party under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Company or any other Note Party of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The books and records of the Holders showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non‑perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than the defense of payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

-C-2-

Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of each Guarantor and the Holders that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law. To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that after giving effect to Section 17 of this Guaranty, such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment made pursuant to such Guaranteed Obligations would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this paragraph, be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under applicable Debtor Relief Laws after giving effect to Section 17 of this Guaranty, the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, render such Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations unenforceable or avoidable or otherwise subject to recovery under applicable Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of this paragraph and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation, and the Guaranteed Obligations as limited by the first sentence of this paragraph shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Guarantor. The first sentence of this paragraph is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Holders hereunder against such Guarantor in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and neither such Guarantor, the Company, any other Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that would not otherwise be available under applicable Debtor Relief Laws in such proceeding.

SECTION 2. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS.

Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Holders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the times for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security (if any) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Holders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of one or more of the Guarantors.

-C-3-

SECTION 3. CERTAIN WAIVERS.

Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company, any other Note Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Holder) of the liability of the Company; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Company; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Holder to proceed against the Company or any other Note Party, proceed against or exhaust any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Holder; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Holder; and (f) to the full extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses (other than the defense of payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 4. OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, and a separate action may be brought against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Company or any other Person is joined as a party. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors.

SECTION 5. SUBROGATION.

No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith

-C-4-

be paid to the Holders for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents.

SECTION 6. TERMINATION; REINSTATEMENT.

(a)    This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made) and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Company or a Guarantor is made, or a Holder exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Holder in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Holders are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that if at any time any Subsidiary of the Company is released from its obligations as a Guarantor under this Guaranty as a result of a Permitted Subsidiary Guarantor Release and, subsequent to such Permitted Subsidiary Guarantor Release, such Subsidiary provides a Guaranty of, or otherwise becomes an obligor in respect of, any Indebtedness of the Company (other than the Obligations), then, immediately at the time such Subsidiary Guarantees such Indebtedness of the Company or otherwise becomes an obligor in respect thereof, all Obligations of such Subsidiary under this Guaranty (including its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder) shall be automatically revived and reinstated without any action on the part of the Holders, such Subsidiary or any other Person. In connection with any such revival and reinstatement of the obligations of such Subsidiary hereunder, such Subsidiary shall (x) execute such reaffirmations of its obligations hereunder (including reaffirmations of its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations) as reasonably requested by the Required Holders and (y) cause all requirements of Section 9.7(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary.

SECTION 7. RELEASE OF LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR.

-C-5-

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, any Person (other than the REIT) that ceases to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.7(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement shall cease to be a party hereto and shall automatically be released from this Guaranty without further action by any Person.

(b) On and after the consummation of any such release, the Holders shall, upon the request and at the sole expense of the Company, provide the Company with written confirmation of such release and shall take such further actions as reasonably requested by the Company to evidence such release all in accordance with Section 9.7(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 8. STAY OF ACCELERATION.

In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Company or any other Note Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors who are not subject to such automatic stay immediately upon demand by the Required Holders.

SECTION 9. MODIFICATIONS; MISCELLANEOUS.

Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except in a writing signed by each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and the Required Holders. No failure by any Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.

SECTION 10. CONDITION OF NOTE PARTIES.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Note Parties and any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Note Parties and any such other guarantors as such Guarantor requires, and that no Holder has any duty, and no Guarantor is relying on any Holder at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any

-C-6-

information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Note Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Holders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

SECTION 11. SETOFF.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Holder and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Holder or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor, against and on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor to such Holder under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Holder has made any demand hereunder and although said Guaranteed Obligations, shall be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Holder and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Holder or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Holder (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees to promptly notify the Company after any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Guarantor represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the date at each Closing that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been obtained; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought at law or in equity); (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any Governmental Authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and

-C-7-

performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. In addition, each Guarantor represents and warrants that (x) until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made) and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds, such Guarantor will comply with all covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement applicable to it as if it were a party thereto; and (y) an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Note Documents has been made available to a senior officer of such Guarantor and such officer is familiar with the contents thereof.

SECTION 13. INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL.

Without limitation on any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of any Holder under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, to the full extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Holder if, and to the same extent that, the Holder is required to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless such Holder under Section 15 of the Note Purchase Agreement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

SECTION 14. GUARANTY ENFORCEABLE BY REQUIRED HOLDERS.

This Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Required Holders, and no other Holder will have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize upon the security (if any) to be granted by the Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Required Holders, upon the terms of this Guaranty and the other Note Documents. It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 14 is solely for the benefit of the Holders.

SECTION 15. SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS HELD BY GUARANTORS.

Any indebtedness of any Note Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations, and such indebtedness of any Note Party to any Guarantor, if the Required Holders, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so request, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Holders and be paid over to the Holders for application to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of any Note Party to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Holders that it will not exercise

-C-8-

any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights prior to such time, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders for the benefit of the Holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents. Upon the indefeasible payment in full in immediately available funds of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made), each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive payments or distributions applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations until all Indebtedness of the Company held by such Guarantor shall be paid in full.

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS.

Any Subsidiary of the REIT that is required to become a party to this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to Section 9.7(a) the Note Purchase Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex I.

SECTION 17. CONTRIBUTION.

At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who either has not made any payments or has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”)

-C-9-

in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time of each computation; provided, that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Loan Documents and for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in immediately available funds, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 17 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 17, (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 17, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive termination of the Note Documents for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Holders.

SECTION 18. COUNTERPARTS.

This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Company and the Holders.

SECTION 19. HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE.

-C-10-

The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty.

SECTION 20. GOVERNING LAW; ASSIGNMENT; JURISDICTION; NOTICES.

THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF). This Guaranty shall bind the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and inure to the benefit of the Holders and their respective successors and assigns and the Holders may, in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, assign or sell the Notes and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith. Each of the parties hereto (x) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, and (y) consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts, in the manner provided in Section 22.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement, to (A) in the case of the Holders, at the address provided in the Note Purchase Agreement and (B) in the case of a Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below. All notices and other communications to any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and delivered in the manner set forth in Section 22.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Holder, as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, and (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature below.

SECTION 21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH HOLDER EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.

-C-11-
