EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTY

GUARANTY, dated as of February 29, 2016, by Farmland Partners Inc., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”), and Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“FPOP”, and together with REIT, each, individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of MSD FPI Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”).

WHEREAS, FPI Illinois I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and FPI Illinois II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Term Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), with the Lender, pursuant to which the Lender, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is to make a term loan to the Borrowers;

WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Guarantors are members of a group of related entities, the success of any one of which is dependent in part on the success of each other member of such group;

WHEREAS, the Guarantors expect to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lender pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Lender’s making such loan and granting further accommodations to the Borrowers under the Term Loan Agreement that the Guarantors execute and deliver to the Lender a guaranty substantially in the form hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Guarantors wish to guaranty the Borrowers’ obligations to the Lender under or in respect of the Term Loan Agreement as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantors hereby agree with the Lender as follows:

1.Definitions.  The term “Obligations” and all other capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings provided therefor in the Term Loan Agreement, or if not defined therein, in that certain Amended and Restated AgVantage Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2015 among Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation, Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation and the Guarantors, as amended as of June 2, 2015 and August 3, 2015 (as amended as of the date hereof, the “Bond Purchase Agreement”). All defined terms from the Bond Purchase Agreement shall include all other definitions and related provisions used therein. The use of such definitions from the Bond Purchase Agreement shall survive the termination of the Bond Purchase Agreement.

2.Guaranty of Payment and Performance.  The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Lender the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required pre-payment, by acceleration or otherwise), as well as the performance, of all of the Obligations including all such which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of all

of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Lender first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Borrowers or resort to any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment. Should the Borrowers default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder with respect to such Obligations in default shall become immediately due and payable to the Lender, without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantors. Payments by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by the Lender on any number of occasions.

3.Guarantors’ Agreement to Pay Enforcement Costs, Etc.  The Guarantors further agree, as the principal obligors and not as a guarantor only, to pay to the Lender, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs, legal expenses and reasonable legal fees) incurred or expended by the Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Guaranty and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this §3 from the time when such amounts become due until payment, whether before or after judgment, at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

4.Waivers by Guarantors; Lender’s Freedom to Act.  The Guarantors agree that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The Guarantors waive promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Borrowers or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors agree to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation and agrees that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrowers or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations; (ii) any extensions, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any Obligation; (iii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromise, refinancing, consolidation, amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of the Term Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (iv) the addition, substitution or release of any entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation, (v) the adequacy of any rights which the Lender may have against any collateral security or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations; (vi) the impairment of any collateral securing any of the Obligations, including without limitation the failure to perfect or preserve any rights which the Lender might have in such collateral security or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security; or (vii) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of the

Guarantors, all of which may be done without notice to the Guarantors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantors hereby expressly waive any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Lender from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of set-off), against the Guarantors before or after the Lender’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (B) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Lender.

5.Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrowers.  If for any reason either Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrowers by reason of either Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantors to the same extent as if the Guarantors at all times had been the principal obligors on all such Obligations. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantors.

6.Subrogation; Subordination.

6.1.Waiver of Rights Against Borrowers.  Until the final payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, the Guarantors shall not exercise any rights against either Borrower arising as a result of payment by the Guarantors hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with the Lender in respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of any nature; the Guarantors will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against either Borrower in respect of any liability of the Guarantors to the Borrowers; and the Guarantors waive any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Lender.

6.2.Subordination.  The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of either Borrower now or hereafter owed to any of the Guarantors is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. The Guarantors agree that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the Guarantors will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of either Borrower to the Guarantors until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

6.3.Provisions Supplemental.  The provisions of this §6 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of the Lender under any separate subordination agreement which the Lender may at any time and from time to time enter into with the Guarantors.
