THIS LIMITED CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”), entered into as of October 17, 2011, by GLOBAL GROWTH TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”, whether one or more) with a mailing address of 450 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801, to RBC BANK (USA) (“Bank”), with a mailing address of Post Office Box 1220, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27802-1220.

GGT GWINNETT CENTER GA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”, whether one or more) desires to obtain extensions of credit or a continuation of credit extensions from Bank and to generally engage in various business transactions and contractual relationships with Bank. Bank is unwilling to extend or continue to extend credit to, or to engage in business transactions with Borrower unless it receives an unconditional and continuing, joint and several guaranty from Guarantor covering all “Liabilities”, as hereinafter defined.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce Bank, from time to time and at any number of times, in its sole discretion, to extend or continue to extend secured and unsecured credit to Borrower and to generally engage in various business transactions and other contractual relationships with Borrower, Guarantor, jointly and severally, if more than one, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Bank the full and prompt payment and performance, upon demand by Bank and on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of each one of and all of the Liabilities.

In order to implement the foregoing and as additional inducements to Bank, Guarantor, jointly and severally, if more than one, further covenants and agrees:

Liabilities

The term “Liabilities” in this Guaranty means and includes any and all of the following, together with any and all renewals, extensions, modifications, amendments, changes, consolidations, replacements or substitutions thereof or therefor, whether Borrower may be liable to Bank, jointly with others or individually, as a debtor, maker, co-maker, drawer, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily incurred, due or not due, absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated: (1) any and all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities owing or due by Borrower to Bank, now existing or later arising, including any and all loans, credit lines, revolving lines of credit, advances, credit extensions, overdraft indebtedness, credit card indebtedness, lease obligations and premiums and other obligations relating to any Rate Management Transaction (whether presently committed or committed in the future, currently existing or later arising, individually and collectively “Credit Extensions”); (2) any and all interest, fees, charges, fines, penalties, prepayment premiums and other premiums and costs and expenses, now existing or later arising or accruing, under or in connection with any and all of the Credit Extensions; (3) Borrower’s and any and all other persons’ (other than Bank’s) covenants, agreements and obligations under any and all agreements and documents now or hereafter executed/delivered to Bank or others on Bank’s behalf in connection with any one or more Credit Extensions (such agreements and documents, which are incorporated in this Guaranty, will be referred to herein individually and collectively as the “Loan Documents”, and include all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, changes, consolidations, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor); (4) any and all sums now or hereafter advanced or paid by Bank under or in connection with any one or more Credit Extensions or the Loan Documents to protect its security


or otherwise; and (5) all monetary obligations incurred by or accrued to Bank during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding, relative to Borrower or any one or more Credit Extensions or Loan Documents. The term “Rate Management Transaction” in this Guaranty means any transaction and all agreements with respect thereto, now existing or hereafter entered into between Borrower and Bank or others on Bank’s behalf, which is a rate swap, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, forward transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction or any combination thereof (including any option with respect to any of these transactions), whether linked to one or more interest rates, foreign currencies, commodity prices, equity prices or other financial measures.

Limitation on Amount of Guaranty

Guarantor’s joint and several liabilities under this Guaranty with respect to the principal amount of the Liabilities outstanding from time to time under the Credit Extensions will not exceed the percentage (%) stated above under the heading of this Guaranty entitled “Limited % Guaranty”, of the aggregate principal amount of the Liabilities outstanding under the Credit Extensions at the time Bank demands payment or performance under this Guaranty. Provided that Borrower attains a “Debt Service Coverage” (as defined in and demonstrated according to the requirements of the Loan Documents) of 1.50 to 1.00, the Limited % Guaranty shall be reduced from 50% to 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Liabilities outstanding under the Credit Extensions at the time Bank demands payment or performance under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s joint and several liability under this Guaranty will be unlimited as to all of the other Liabilities, including all of the following Liabilities due from time to time, whether before, at the time of or after Bank demands payment or performance under this Guaranty: interest, fees, charges, fines, penalties, prepayment premiums and other premiums, costs and expenses, obligations relating to Rate Management Transactions, amounts advanced or paid by Bank under the Loan Documents to protect its security or otherwise, even if such amounts are added to principal under the terms of the Loan Documents, and all monetary obligations incurred or accrued (i) during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or (ii) from any losses sustained by Bank in connection with any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, waste, or misappropriation by Borrower or Guarantor.

Guaranty of Payment

This guaranty is and will remain an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. Guarantor herewith expressly waives any right Guarantor otherwise might have or might have had under the provisions of the Florida Statutes and other Florida laws which require Bank to attempt to recover against Borrower and to realize upon any collateral and other security which Bank holds for the Liabilities.

Termination of Guaranty

Guarantor, by a written notice, delivered personally to or actually received by certified or registered United States Mail by an authorized officer of Bank in Bank’s Loan Servicing Center (or successor thereto), at the address of Bank first above given, may terminate Guarantor’s guaranty hereunder with respect to those Liabilities which arise more than thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such written notice is so delivered to or received by Bank’s authorized officer, as aforesaid (“Termination Notice”). A Termination Notice will be the sole and exclusive method for terminating Guarantor’s guaranty as to future Liabilities and notwithstanding termination, this Guaranty and the guaranty created hereby and all security given for this guaranty or the Liabilities will remain in full force and effect as to all Liabilities incurred, existing or arising in any manner pre-termination, including all Liabilities arising under loan commitments which exist pre-termination, all Liabilities under lines of credit and revolving lines of credit for advances both pre- and post-termination and all Liabilities arising from renewals, extensions, replacements, substitutions, amendments and modifications of the Liabilities, in whole or in part, whether any of the foregoing are made with or without notice to Guarantor before or after the effective date of termination as provided in this paragraph.

General Provisions

Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that this Guaranty does not conflict with or otherwise violate, either in whole or in part, any agreement to which Guarantor is a party or any agreement by which Guarantor is bound or to which Guarantor is subject.

Guarantor acknowledges that: (1) Guarantor benefits from the Liabilities; (2) Guarantor is familiar with Borrower and its business; and (3) Bank has not made any representations to Guarantor relative to any of the Liabilities or any person, or any person’s business, that is now or that may in the future be obligated on any of the Liabilities, including Borrower or any other guarantor, accommodation party or supporting obligor. Guarantor agrees Bank has no responsibility for keeping Guarantor informed regarding Borrower’s financial condition or that of any other person.

Guarantor agrees this Guaranty does not terminate, supersede or substitute for any existing guaranties from Guarantor to Bank.

Guarantor agrees to furnish Bank all financial information or other information Guarantor may be required to provide Bank under any of the Loan Documents and to furnish Bank any other information as Bank may from time to time request. Guarantor agrees to abide by, remain in compliance with and otherwise fully and timely perform all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements in any of the Loan Documents that may now or in the future be applicable to or otherwise binding upon Guarantor or any of its property, including any financial covenants, reporting requirements and covenants limiting disposition of assets or a change in control.

Guarantor agrees its obligations under this Guaranty are not dependent upon any other person guaranteeing or continuing to guarantee payment of any or all of the Liabilities.

Guarantor agrees that its liability under this Guaranty will not be limited, diminished or extinguished, in whole or in part, by, and that its consent will not be required relative to, any changes to, or any acts or inactions on Bank’s part or any other person’s part with respect to, any one or more of the following: (1) Borrower; (2) any of the Liabilities; (3) any of the Loan Documents; (4) any guarantor or other supporting obligor of any or all of the Liabilities; or (5) any property, or any liens or security interest therein or thereon, now or in the future securing this Guaranty, any or all of the Liabilities or any other guaranties or supporting obligations. Guarantor agrees that its liability under this Guaranty will not be limited, diminished or extinguished, in whole or in part, by the unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Liabilities as to Borrower or any other person, or the unenforceability or invalidity of any other guaranties or supporting obligations for any of the Liabilities, including any liens or security interests.

Guarantor waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and any other notices to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled. Guarantor agrees that until the Liabilities are paid and satisfied in full and Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is fully satisfied and discharged in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, Guarantor will not have, and Guarantor waives, any claim of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution and indemnity with respect to this Guaranty, the Liabilities, Borrower and any other person obligated on the Liabilities. Guarantor waives any defenses or benefits of a surety, accommodation party or other supporting obligor to which Guarantor may be entitled by statute or otherwise at law or in equity, including (1) any defenses or benefits relating to or arising from release, estoppel, election of remedies, rights to appraisal or marshalling of assets, (2) any defenses or benefits relating to or arising under judicial or non-judicial collection or foreclosure laws or procedures, or under any anti-deficiency laws, and (3) the right to appear, be scheduled or otherwise treated as a “creditor” in any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and any defenses or benefits relating to or arising under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor relief laws.

Guarantor agrees that, from and after an Event of Default and continuance thereof under the Loan Documents, until the Liabilities are paid in full, unless Bank agrees otherwise in writing: (1) Guarantor will not receive payment on any indebtedness owed by Borrower to Guarantor, or withdraw capital invested by it in Borrower, or otherwise receive any distributions from Borrower; (2) to the extent Guarantor receives any payments, withdrawals or other distributions from Borrower the same will be deemed received by Guarantor in trust for the benefit of Bank and, upon demand for payment thereof by Bank, will be paid to Bank for application by Bank against the Liabilities; (3) all Guarantor’s present and future claims against Borrower or Borrower’s property, including claims for money owed under promissory notes and other evidences of indebtedness, and any liens or security interests securing such claims, will be subordinate in all respects to Bank’s present and future claims against Borrower and Borrower’s property, and all liens and security interests securing such claims; and (4) Guarantor will not foreclose on or otherwise enforce through either judicial or non-judicial proceedings any liens or security interests securing any of Guarantor’s present or future claims against Borrower or Borrower’s property.

If Bank is required to return or repay any payments made on the Liabilities, Guarantor agrees the Liabilities intended to be satisfied by such returned or repaid payments will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said returned or repaid payments had not been made, and that this Guaranty will continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such returned or repaid payments.

Time is of the essence for the performance of all of Guarantor’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Guaranty, including its payment obligations under this Guaranty. If Guarantor fails to pay any amount owing under this Guaranty as and when due or otherwise breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder, Bank may, without prior notice to Guarantor or any other person, exercise or otherwise pursue any and all rights and remedies available to Bank under this Guaranty, any of the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, including acceleration of payment or performance obligations.

Guarantor agrees to pay to Bank, on Bank’s demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with enforcement of Bank’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty.

Except as provided herein to the contrary, all notices hereunder will be deemed given when mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the addresses set forth above, provided either Guarantor or Bank may, by written notice to the other, designate a different address where communications should be sent.

This Guaranty will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Florida, excluding, however, the conflict of law and choice of law provisions thereof. If any provision of this Guaranty will be prohibited or invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor waives any right to a trial by jury in any action arising from or related to this Guaranty or any of the Liabilities.

This Guaranty will apply to and bind Guarantor’s heirs, successors and assigns. From time to time Bank may assign the note given by Borrower and guaranteed hereunder or sell to one or more financial institutions or other lenders a participation in the Credit Extensions. Bank will not be under any obligation to disclose to Guarantor the fact that it is soliciting participations or that it has sold participations in the Credit Extensions. The sale of one or more participations in the Credit Extensions by Bank will not relieve Bank of its obligations under this Guaranty and will not grant to Bank (or any participants) or Guarantor any greater rights relative to the Credit Extensions or under any of the Loan Documents, and it will not relieve Guarantor of any of its obligations on the Credit Extensions or under any of the Loan Documents. To the extent Bank sells participations in the Credit Extensions, when requested, Guarantor will permit such participants to conduct any inspections and audits Bank is permitted to undertake under this Guaranty to Bank or separate from Bank, and Guarantor will otherwise communicate with such participants with respect to the Credit Extensions and the Loan Documents, when requested to do so by Bank in connection with such participants’ determination of whether to acquire a participation interest in the Credit Extensions. In all other circumstances, in the event of the sale of participation interests by Bank, Guarantor shall be required to communicate only with Bank, who will then communicate with all participants.

Bank may make such credit investigations and other investigations regarding Guarantor as Bank deems necessary or appropriate, including any investigations as may be necessary or advisable under applicable law. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Bank may disclose financial and other information concerning Guarantor to any person, including any of the following: governmental agencies; credit bureaus and other similar persons; Guarantor’s other creditors or prospective creditors; Bank’s authorized representatives and any administrative or servicing agents, and to Bank’s respective affiliates and their respective authorized representatives and any administrative or servicing agents; any participant or prospective participants, and to any assignee or prospective assignee, of the Liabilities or any part or parts thereof, and the authorized representatives and any administrative or servicing agents for such persons.

In this Guaranty: (1) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (2) words in the neuter gender include any gender; (3) “including” means “including but not limited to”; (4) “and” may have a joint meaning or a several meaning and “or” may have an inclusive meaning or an exclusive meaning; (5) the word “all” includes “any” and the word “any” includes “all”; (6) words importing “persons” will include individuals as well as corporations and other organizations; (7) the phrase “costs and expenses” will include the reasonable fees of attorneys and other service providers, including those incurred in connection with and during the pendency of any reorganization, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy, and will include intangible personal property taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes; (8) terms that are not defined in this Guaranty but are defined in any of the other Loan Documents will have the meaning given to such terms in the Loan Documents in which such terms are defined, and the rules on usage of terms contained in the other Loan Documents will apply to this Guaranty; and (9) all of Guarantor’s representations and warranties will be deemed continuing representations and warranties.

This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank and Guarantor with respect to this guaranty. Any modification of this Guaranty and any waiver of Bank’s rights or remedies under this Guaranty must be through a

writing executed by an authorized representative of Bank in order for the modification or waiver to be enforceable against Bank. When requested by Bank for any reason, including to comply with any requirements of law, Guarantor will re-confirm, in writing, to Bank, its continuing liability and obligation under this Guaranty, such written re-confirmation to be in such form as Bank may require, including a statement of re-confirmation or a substitute or replacement guaranty.
