Guarantor waives presentation of, demand of, payment from and protest of any Obligation of Company and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected by, and the Guarantor hereby waives its rights (to the extent permitted by law) in connection with: (a) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Company under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or otherwise, (b) any extension or renewal of any provision thereof, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any instrument executed pursuant hereto, (d) the release of any of the security held by Administrative Agent, or any Lender for the Obligations of Company, (e) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations of Company, (f) Administrative Agent or any Lender taking and holding security or collateral for the payment of this Guaranty, any other guaranties of the Obligations or other liabilities of Company and the Obligations guarantied hereby, and exchanging, enforcing, waiving and releasing any such security or collateral, (g) Administrative Agent or any Lender applying any such security or collateral and directing the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine, or (h) Administrative Agent or any Lender settling, releasing, compromising, collecting or otherwise liquidating the Obligations and any security or collateral therefor in any manner determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be had by Administrative Agent or any other Person to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations of Company or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Administrative Agent or any other Person in favor of Company or any other Person. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, discharge of Company from the Obligations in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations of Company, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. Guarantor acknowledges that all or a portion of the Obligations are secured by deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or mortgages covering certain interests in real property (including, but not limited, to the Mortgages) and authorizes Administrative Agent, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty, to foreclose pursuant to the terms thereof or the deeds of trust and mortgages and the interests in real property secured thereby (including, but not limited to the Mortgages) by non-judicial or other sale. Guarantor understands that the exercise by Lenders or Administrative Agent, or any of them, of certain rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and such deeds of trust and mortgages may affect or eliminate Guarantor's right of subrogation against Company and that Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent and any Lender to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by Administrative Agent or any Lender against Guarantor of any deficiency after such sale, and Guarantor expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from statutes and laws relating thereto. Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, or exercise any other right or remedy Administrative Agent may have against Company or any security without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of such election by Administrative Agent, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Company or any security. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be repaid to any Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount and this Guaranty shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. Guarantor shall defend and indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender from and against any claim or loss hereunder 125 (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) or in the defense of any action or suit relating to the foregoing matters. Guarantor further agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of Company to pay any of its Obligations when and as the same shall become due (whether by required prepayment, declaration, demand or otherwise), Guarantor will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations, accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations and all other Obligations of Company to Administrative Agent or such Lender. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender against any Loan Party or any Collateral which Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities, or in the case of any assets to the extent of Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit to the extent not drawn upon) for the payment or prepayment of the Obligations of Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waiver set forth herein is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
