will occur as of the Monthly Draw Date, then the Disbursement Agent
shall be entitled to make demand on Completion Guarantor hereunder
for payment of costs associated with completing the construction of

3.3
Completion Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by any exercise of remedies by any Beneficiary, and
that this Completion Guarantee shall continue to be enforceable

-4-
3.5
Upon the occurrence of any Draw Event, the Disbursement Agent
(except to the extent prohibited from doing so by law) shall make
concurrent demand upon the Sponsors for an aggregate amount equal
to the Draw Amount. While it is anticipated that each of the
Sponsors will fund 50% of each Draw Amount, Completion Guarantor
shall be responsible to timely fund the full Draw Amount (but
without an obligation to exceed its Liability Cap) in the event
Dubai World fails to fund all or any part of its portion of the
Draw Amount.
3.6
Completion Guarantor may effect its funding obligations hereunder
through fundings by itself or one or more of its direct or indirect
Subsidiaries. Each funding made pursuant to this Completion
Guaranty (whether made by Sponsor directly or through a Subsidiary)
shall be deemed to constitute a contribution to the equity capital
to Borrower.
4. Nature
of Guarantee . This Completion Guarantee is irrevocable and
continuing in nature and relates to any Guaranteed Obligations now
existing or hereafter arising. This Completion Guarantee is a
guarantee of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not
merely a guarantee of collection.
5.
Relationship to Other Agreements . Except as specifically
noted herein, nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the
effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other Transaction
Document, including without limitation the Sponsor Contribution
Agreements and the Sponsor Subordination Agreement, executed by
Completion Guarantor or any other document, instrument or agreement
executed by Completion Guarantor in connection with the Project,
but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition
thereto.
6.
Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Completion
Guarantor . Completion Guarantor represents and warrants that,
as of the date hereof, Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have
any indebtedness owing to Completion Guarantor other than the
portion of the Sponsor Subordinated Debt that has already been
advanced to Borrower in connection with funding construction of the
Project. Completion Guarantor hereby agrees that all indebtedness
now or hereafter owed by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
Completion Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall be
subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness (as
defined in the Sponsor Subordination Agreement) as and to the
extent provided in the Sponsor Subordination Agreement, and all
such present or future indebtedness of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall be subject to the Sponsor Subordination
Agreement. To the extent that, contrary to the intention of the
parties, any amount funded by Completion Guarantors (directly or
through Subsidiaries) is ever construed to be indebtedness, then
any reimbursement obligations of Borrower to Completion Guarantor
or its Subsidiaries that may result from the funding of Draw
Amounts hereunder, shall be likewise subordinated.
7.
Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws . Until the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full or this
Completion Guarantee terminates in accordance with Section 32,
all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the
Beneficiaries hereunder shall continue to exist and may be
exercised by the Beneficiaries at any time and from time to time
irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may
have become barred by any statute of limitations. Completion
Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of
limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of
Property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon
foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
Laws.

agrees that the Beneficiaries may, at any time and from time to
time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the
enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:

otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any

personal liability with respect to the Secured Obligations or any
part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to the

(i) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring
or termination of the corporate or other existence of Borrower or
any other Obligor, and correspondingly restructure the Secured
