GLPI Guaranty. (a) GLPI hereby guarantees unconditionally and as a primary obligation, for the benefit of OpCo, the due performance by Pinnacle of its obligations under the Transaction Documents following the Effective Time (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If Pinnacle fails to perform any such obligation, GLPI, upon written request of OpCo, shall, or shall cause Pinnacle to, perform such obligations promptly upon receipt of such request. This guaranty shall apply regardless of any amendments, variations, alterations, waivers or extensions to this Agreement, except to the extent any of the foregoing modifies the application thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this guaranty of this Section 8.14 shall only be effective from and after the Effective Time. (b) GLPI hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by OpCo upon this Section 8.14 or acceptance of this Section 8.14. The Guaranteed Obligation conclusively shall be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Section 8.14, and all dealings between OpCo, on the one hand, and Pinnacle, on the other, likewise conclusively shall be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Section 8.14. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against GLPI, OpCo shall be under no obligation to pursue such rights and remedies it may have against Pinnacle or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by OpCo to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Pinnacle or any such other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset shall not relieve GLPI of any liability hereunder. (c) GLPI expressly and irrevocably waives any election of remedies by OpCo, promptness, diligence, acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind not provided for herein or not required to be provided to Pinnacle under or in connection with this Agreement, other than defenses that are available to Pinnacle hereunder. OpCo acknowledges and agrees that GLPI shall be entitled to all rights, remedies and benefits of Pinnacle hereunder following the Time of Distribution. GLPI acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section 8.14 are made knowingly in contemplation of such benefits. (d) GLPI represents and warrants that (i) it is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (ii) it has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement solely for purposes of this Section 8.14 and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of GLPI, enforceable against GLPI in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, reorganization, preference or similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law)) and (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not contravene any law to which GLPI is subject or result in any breach of any contract to which GLPI is a party, other than such contravention or breach that would not be material to GLPI or limit its ability to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement solely for purposes of this Section 8.14. (e) OpCo agrees that its rights in respect of any claim or liability under this Agreement asserted by it against GLPI shall be limited solely to satisfaction out of, and enforcement against, the assets of GLPI and the Pinnacle Group, and OpCo covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any of GLPI’s former, current or future directors, officers, agents, or stockholders or any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of any of the foregoing, as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law. (f) No amendment, supplement or modification to this Section 8.14 shall be made without the written agreement of GLPI. [The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank.]
