BORROWER
FURTHER AGREES AS FOLLOWS:
18. Title. Borrower
hereby represents, warrants and covenants Borrower is the holder of fee simple
title to the Property, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances except for
the covenants, conditions and restrictions of record (“Permitted Exceptions”) shown
on Schedule B of that certain title commitment pertaining to the Property dated
November 9, 2009 issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company, and that Borrower
has legal power and authority to mortgage and convey the Property. At Borrower’s
sole expense, Borrower shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title
to and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage
and the rights and powers of Lender created under it, against all adverse
claims. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice in writing if any claim is
asserted which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or
proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim. Lender may,
at the expense of Borrower, appear in and defend any such claim, action or
proceeding and any claim, action or other proceeding asserted or brought against
Lender in connection with or relating to any part of the Property or this
Mortgage
19. Effect of Extensions of
Time. If
the payment, or performance of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, is
extended or varied, if the rate of interest charged under the Note is changed or
if the time for payment or performance of the Secured Obligations is extended or
varied, or if all or any part of any security for the payment or performance of
the Secured Obligations is released, or if any person or entity liable for the
payment or performance of the Secured Obligations is released, or if Lender
takes other or additional security for the payment or performance of the Secured
Obligations, or if Lender waives or fails to exercise any right granted in this
Mortgage, or in the Note, or in any Loan Document, all persons now or at any
time hereafter liable for the payment or performance of the Secured Obligations,
or any part thereof, or interested in the Property shall be deemed to have
assented to such extension, variation, release, change, waiver, failure to
exercise or the taking of additional security, and their liability and the lien
and all provisions of this Mortgage shall continue in full force, the right of
recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Lender,
notwithstanding such extension, variation, release, waiver, failure to exercise,
or the taking of additional security.
20. Assignment of Leases and
Rents.
(a) The
assignment of Rents and Leases contained in this Mortgage is present and
absolute and is effective immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have a revocable license to
receive, collect and enjoy the Rents accruing from the Property. Borrower shall
hold a portion of such Rents so collected by Borrower and any other income and
profits sufficient to discharge all current sums due under the Note, for use in
the payment of such sums. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
revocable license shall automatically be revoked and thereafter Lender may, at
its option, receive and collect all Rents as they become due.
(b) Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney with full power
of substitution and with full power for Lender in its own name and capacity or
in the name and capacity of Borrower, from and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittance for any
and all Rents, and at Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other
action or proceeding and make any settlement of any claims, either in its own
name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, which Lender may deem necessary or
desirable in order to collect and enforce the payment of the Rents. All tenants
at the Property under the Leases (the “Tenants”) are hereby expressly
authorized and directed to pay any and all amounts due Borrower pursuant to the
Leases to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in writing delivered to
and received by such Tenants who are expressly relieved of any and all duty,
liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so
made.
(c) From and
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby vested with full
power to use all measures, legal and equitable, deemed by it necessary or proper
to collect the Rents assigned hereunder, either by itself or through a receiver,
including the right of Lender or its designee to enter upon the Property, or any
part thereof, with or without force and with or without process of law and take
possession of all or any part of the Property together with all personal
property, fixtures, documents, books, records, papers and accounts of Borrower
relating thereto, and may exclude the Borrower, its agents and servants, wholly
therefrom. Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver.
Borrower hereby grants full power and authority to Lender to exercise all
rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times after service
of a notice exercising the powers granted herein, without further notice to
Borrower, with full power to use and apply all of the Rents herein assigned to
the payment of the costs of managing and operating the Property and to any
Secured Obligations or any other liability of Borrower to Lender, including but
not limited to the payment of taxes, special assessments, insurance premiums,
damage claims, the costs of maintaining, repairing, rebuilding and restoring
buildings or other improvements or to making the same rentable, attorneys’ fees,
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage,
and to principal and interest payments due from Borrower to Lender under the
Note or this Mortgage, all in such order as Lender may determine. Lender shall
be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the rights or claims
assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the obligations of
the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the liabilities in
connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and agreements of
Borrower in the Leases, provided Lender may, at its sole option, institute any
legal or equitable action which Lender in its sole discretion, deems desirable
to collect any or all of the Rents.
(d) Following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may perform any or all obligations
of Borrower under any of the Leases or this Mortgage and take such actions as
Lender deems appropriate to protect its security interest including without
limitation (i) appearing in any action or proceeding affecting any of the Leases
or the Property; (ii) executing new leases and modifying, terminating or
canceling existing Leases; (iii) collecting, modifying and compromising any
Rents payable under the Leases; (iv) enforcing any of the Leases, including, if
necessary, evicting lessees; and (v) any other remedies permitted Lender under
applicable law. The foregoing are in addition to the remedies
afforded Lender under any of the other Loan Documents or in law or equity, by
statute or otherwise, all of which rights are reserved by Lender. It
is further understood that the assignment of the Leases contained in this
Mortgage shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall
it operate to make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and
conditions of any of the Leases, or for any waste of the Property by any lessee
under any of the Leases or any other person, or for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep,
repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any
lessee, licensee, employee or stranger.
E-3
(e) Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lender from and against any
liability, obligation, loss, cost, expense, civil fines, penalties or damage
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender under the Leases until such time
as Lender shall actually take possession of the Property.
(f) Nothing
herein shall be construed as constituting the Lender a mortgagee in possession
of the Property in the absence of Lender taking actual possession of the
Property.
21. Lender's Performance of
Defaulted Acts. In
case of an Event of Default, Lender may, but need not, and whether electing to
declare the whole of the Secured Obligations due and payable or not, and without
waiver of any other remedy, make any payment or perform any act herein required
of Borrower in this Mortgage or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents in
any form and manner deemed expedient, and may, but need not, make full or
partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and
purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or
title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the
Property or contest any tax or assessment or cure any default of landlord in any
Lease of the Property. All sums paid for any of the purposes
authorized in this paragraph and all expenses paid or incurred in connection
such purposes, including attorneys' fees, and any other sums advanced by Lender
in regard to any Impositions or to protect the Property or the lien hereof,
shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and
payable upon demand, together with interest thereon accruing at the Default Rate
(as defined in the Note”) until paid. Inaction of Lender shall never
be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to Lender on account of any
default on the part of Borrower. In addition, any costs, expenses and fees,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with (a) sustaining
the lien of this Mortgage or its priority, (b) protecting or enforcing any of
Lender's rights hereunder, (c) recovering any of the Secured Obligations, (d)
any litigation or proceedings affecting the Settlement Agreement, the Note, this
Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents or the Property, including without
limitation, bankruptcy and probate proceedings, or (e) preparing for the
commencement, defense or participation in any threatened litigation or
proceedings affecting the Settlement Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, any of
the other Loan Documents or the Property, shall be so much additional
Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and payable by Borrower to
Lender, upon demand, and with interest thereon accruing from the date of such
demand until paid at the Default Rate.
22. Lender's Reliance on Tax
Bills, Etc. Lender
in making any payment hereby authorized:
(a) relating
to taxes and assessments, may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of
such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment,
sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; or
(b) relating
to insurance premiums, may do so according to any xxxx or statement procured
from the appropriate company without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or
statement; or
(c) for the
purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any other prior lien, may do so
without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for lien which may be
asserted.
23. Events of Default;
Acceleration. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, then and in every such case the whole of
the Secured Obligations shall, at once, at the option of Lender, become
immediately due and payable without further notice to Borrower. Without limiting
the foregoing Borrower expressly acknowledges and affirms that any sale,
transfer, lease, conveyance, alienation, pledge, assignment, mortgage,
encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition of all or any portion of the
Property or all or any portion of Borrower’s right, title and interest (legal or
equitable) in and to the Property or any portion thereof that is not permitted
by Lender constitutes an Event of Default which would give rise to Lender’s
right to accelerate the Secured Obligations.
24. Foreclosure. After
acceleration of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), subject to Wisconsin
law, Lender shall also have the right immediately to foreclose this
Mortgage. Upon the filing of any complaint for that purpose, the
court in which such complaint is filed may, upon application of Lender or at any
time thereafter, either before or after foreclosure sale, and without notice to
Borrower or to any party claiming under Borrower, without regard to the solvency
or insolvency at the time of such application of any person then liable for the
payment of any Secured Obligation, without regard to the then value of the
Property, and without requiring any bond from the complainant in such
proceedings, appoint a receiver for the benefit of Lender (which may be Lender),
with power to take possession, charge and control of the Property, to operate or
lease the same, to keep the improvements thereon insured and in good repair, and
to collect any revenues of operation or rents during the pendency of such
foreclosure suit, and, in case of foreclosure sale and a deficiency, during any
period of redemption. The court shall, if requested by the receiver,
authorize such receiver to pay the net amounts remaining in the receiver’s
hands, after deducting reasonable compensation for the receiver and the
receiver’s counsel to be allowed by the court, to Lender to be held and applied
to any Secured Obligation in accordance with the Loan Documents. This
Mortgage may be foreclosed once against all, or successively against any portion
or portions, of the Property as Lender may elect. This Mortgage and
the right of foreclosure shall not be impaired or exhausted by one or any
foreclosure or by one or any sale, and may be foreclosed successively and in
parts, until all of the Property has been foreclosed against and sold. Borrower
agrees that Lender may elect to foreclose and select any redemption period
authorized by law. Borrower expressly agrees that Lender may utilize § 846.103,
Wis. Stats. (or any other provisions provided in Chapter 846), or any successors
thereto, to reduce the redemption period in any foreclosure action, upon waiving
the right to judgment for a deficiency. In case of any foreclosure
(or commencement thereof or preparation therefor) of this Mortgage in any court,
all expenses of every kind paid or incurred by Lender for the enforcement,
protection or collection of this Mortgage, including reasonable costs,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, stenographers’ fees, costs of advertising, costs of
documentary evidence of title (including title insurance) and all other related
charges and costs, shall be paid by Borrower. Without limitation of
the foregoing, Borrower agrees to
the provisions of § 846.103, Wis. Stats., as the same may be amended or
renumbered from time to time, permitting Lender, upon waiving the right to
judgment for a deficiency, to hold the foreclosure sale of real estate three (3)
months after a foreclosure judgment is entered.
25. Expense of
Litigation. In
the event of any sale of all or any part of the Property as the result of the
exercise by Lender of remedies for an Event of Default, pursuant to the powers
and rights granted under this Mortgage or otherwise (a “Foreclosure”), to the extent
not prohibited by the laws of the State applicable to mortgages or deeds of
trust affecting property within the State (the “Lien Law”), there shall be
allowed and included as additional indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and for
which Borrower shall be obligated, all expenditures and expenses which may be
paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender for attorneys’ fees, appraiser’s
fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges,
publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended
in the future) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and
examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with
respect to the title as Lender may deem necessary, whether to prosecute such
suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such
Foreclosure the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property, or
otherwise. All expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this
paragraph and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the
Property and the maintenance of the liens, rights, powers and authority granted
pursuant to this Mortgage, including the fees of any attorneys employed by
Lender in any litigation or proceeding affecting the Settlement Agreement, this
Mortgage, the Note or the Property, including appellate, probate and bankruptcy
proceedings, or in preparations for the commencement or defense of any
proceedings or threatened suit or proceeding shall be immediately due and
payable by Borrower upon demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate
until paid, and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
X-0
00. Application of Proceeds of
Foreclosure Sale. Subject
to the provisions of the Lien Laws, the proceeds obtained from any Foreclosure
shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority: first, on
account of all costs and expenses incident to the Foreclosure proceedings,
including all such items as are mentioned in the
preceding paragraph hereof; second, all other items which may, under the terms
of the Loan Documents, constitute Secured Obligations additional to that
evidenced by the Note, with interest thereon as herein or therein provided and
all other Secured Obligations including the principal and interest and other
sums (including prepayment premiums) remaining unpaid on the Note; and third,
any overplus to any party entitled thereto as their rights may appear or as may
be dictated by the Lien Laws.
27. Appointment of Receiver;
Mortgage in Possession. Upon,
or at any time after, the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have
the right, at its sole election and in accordance with the Lien Laws, to appoint
a receiver for the Property. Such appointment may be made either before or after
sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower
at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then
value of the Property or whether the Property shall be then occupied as a
homestead or not, and Lender hereunder or any holder of the Note may be
appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have power to collect the Rents
during the pendency of such Foreclosure, and during the full statutory period of
redemption, whether there be redemption or not, as well as during any further
times when Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be
entitled to collect such Rents, and all other powers which may be necessary or
are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and
operation of the Property during the whole of any period of redemption,
including, to the extent permitted by the Lien Laws, the right to lease all or
any portion of the Property for a term that extends beyond the time of such
receiver’s possession without obtaining prior court approval of such
lease. To the extent permitted under the Lien Laws, the court from
time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in his hands in
payment in whole or in part to:
(a) the
Secured Obligations, or by any decree foreclosing this Mortgage, or any tax,
special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien
hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure
sale; and
(b) the
deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.
28. Rights Cumulative;
Modification. Each
right, power and remedy conferred upon Lender in this Mortgage is cumulative and
in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, given now
or hereafter existing, at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and
remedy set forth in this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or otherwise so
existing, may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may
be deemed expedient by Lender, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise
of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at
the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and no delay or
omission of Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing
hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or
be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein. This
Mortgage cannot be waived, changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by
an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought.
29. Lender’s Right of Possession
in Case of Default. At
any time after an Event of Default has occurred, Borrower shall, upon demand of
Lender, surrender to Lender possession of the Property. Lender, in Lender’s
discretion, may enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part
of the Property, as mortgagee in possession or otherwise, together with all
documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating thereto, and may exclude
Borrower and its employees, agents or servants therefrom, and Lender may then
hold, operate, manage and control the Property, either personally or by Lender’s
agents. Lender shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable,
as Lender in Lender’s discretion may deem proper or necessary to enforce the
payment or security of the Rents, including actions for the recovery of rent,
actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for rent. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have full power to:
(a) cancel or
terminate any Lease or sublease for any cause or on any ground which would
entitle Borrower to cancel such Lease or sublease;
(b) elect to
disaffirm any Lease or sublease which is then subordinate to the lien
hereof;
(c) extend or modify any then
existing Leases and to enter into new Leases, which extensions, modifications
and Leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend
or renew terms to expire, beyond the Maturity Date and beyond the date of the
issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a Foreclosure sale,
it being understood and agreed that any such Leases, and the options or other
such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Borrower and all
persons whose interests in the Property are subject to the lien of this Mortgage
and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any Foreclosure sale, notwithstanding
any redemption from sale, discharge of the Secured Obligations, satisfaction of
any foreclosure judgment, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any
purchaser;
(d) make any
repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and
improvements to the Property as Lender deems are necessary;
(e) insure
and reinsure the Property and all risks incidental to Lender’s possession,
operation and management thereof; and
(f) receive
all of such Rents.
30. Application of Income
Received by Lender. Subject
to the Lien Laws, Lender, in the exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove
conferred upon Lender, shall have full power to use and apply the Rents to the
payment of or on account of the following, in such order as Lender may
determine:
E-5
(a) to the
payment of the operating expenses of the Property, including cost of management
and leasing thereof (which shall include compensation to Lender and its agent or
agents, if management be delegated to an agent or agents, and shall also include
lease commissions and other compensation and expenses of seeking and procuring
tenants and entering into leases), established claims for damages, if any, and
premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized;
(b) to the
payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become
due on the Property; and
(c) to the
payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, including any deficiency
which may result from any foreclosure sale.
31. Compliance with Lien
Laws.
(a) If any
provision in this Mortgage shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Lien
Laws, the provisions of the Lien Laws shall take precedence over the provisions
of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other
provision of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with the
Lien Laws.
(b) If any
provision of this Mortgage shall grant to Lender (including Lender acting as a
lender-in-possession) or a receiver any powers, rights or remedies which are
more limited than the powers, rights or remedies that would otherwise be vested
in Lender or in such receiver under the Lien Laws in the absence of such
provision, Lender and such receiver shall be vested with the powers, rights and
remedies granted in the Lien Laws to the full extent permitted by
law.
32. Lender’s Right of
Inspection. Lender
shall have the right to inspect the Property at all reasonable times and access
thereto shall be permitted for that purpose. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Lender deems it reasonably necessary, Lender (by
its officers, managers, employees and agents) at any time and from time to time,
either prior to or after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder for any
reason in its reasonable discretion, may contract for the services of persons
(the “Site Reviewers”)
to perform environmental assessments (the “Site Assessment”) on the
Property for the purposes of determining whether there exists on or near the
Property any environmental conditions which could reasonably be expected to
result in liability, cost or expense to the owner, occupier or operator of the
Property arising under any state, federal or local law, rule or regulation
relating to Hazardous Substances. The Site Assessments may be performed at any
time or times, upon reasonable notice, and under reasonable conditions
established by Borrower which do not impede the performance of the Site
Assessments. The Site Reviewers are hereby authorized to enter upon the Property
for such purposes. The Site Reviewers are further authorized to perform both
above and below the ground testing for the presence of Hazardous Substances on
the Property and such other tests on the Property as may be appropriate to
conduct the Site Assessments in the reasonable opinion of the Site
Reviewers. Borrower will supply to the Site Reviewers such historical
and operation information regarding the Property as may be reasonably requested
by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments and will make available
for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of

and demand is made under this Guaranty, it being the intention hereof that

Warranties. Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

this Guaranty and the Loan Documents. Guarantor has reviewed
with the benefit of its legal counsel the terms of this Guaranty, the Note, the
Mortgage, and all the documents required to be delivered under the Settlement
Agreement.
(b) Enforceability.
Each obligation under this Guaranty is legal, valid, binding and enforceable
against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(c) No
Violations. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Guaranty nor compliance with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty will
violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order, or will
conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document,
agreement or contract of any kind that creates, represents, evidences or
provides for any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets
of Guarantor, or any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument,
document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Guarantor is a party or to
which Guarantor or the property of Guarantor may be subject.
(d) No
Misstatements or Omissions. This Guaranty does not contain any

Guaranty. Guarantor has no knowledge of any material fact, inaccuracy
or untruth concerning Borrower or Borrower’s financial conditions which has not
been disclosed to Lender.

Approval. No registration with or consent or approval
of, or other action by, any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
agency, authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, relating to Guarantor
is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty.
(f) Loans to
Borrower. Borrower has no unpaid loans or advances from, or other
obligations to, Guarantor.
44. Indemnities. Guarantor hereby
indemnifies Lender and agrees to defend and hold Lender harmless from and
against any loss, cost, damage or expense occurring by reason of a breach of the
representations or warranties set forth in this Guaranty, and the loss,
mitigation, subordination or other consequences adverse to Lender by reason of
this Guaranty being challenged as a preference or suffering any other
subjugation under any bankruptcy or other law, whether state or federal,
affecting debtors, creditors and/or the relationship between such
parties.
45. Covenants. For as long as
this Guaranty shall remain in effect, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Transfers,
Sales, Etc. Guarantor may sell, lease, transfer, convey or
assign any of Guarantor’s material assets, directly or indirectly, so long as
such transaction:
i) does not
breach any restriction on transfers set forth in the Loan
Documents;
ii) could not
be reasonably deemed to be a Fraudulent Conveyance (as hereinafter defined)
under applicable law, and
iii) will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
Guarantor.
(b) Rescinded
or Returned Payments. If at any time any part of any payment
previously applied by Lender to any of Guarantor’s Liabilities is rescinded or
returned by Lender for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Borrower or any other party, Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be
deemed to have continued in existence to the extent that such payment is
rescinded or returned, and this Guaranty shall be reinstated as to Guarantor’s
Liabilities as though such prior application by Lender had not been
made.
(c) Certain
Permitted Actions of Lender. Lender may from time to time, in
Lender’s sole discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any of the
following actions without in any way affecting the obligations of Guarantor: (i)

of payment of the Indebtedness or the Obligations; (vi) enforce this Guaranty
against Guarantor for payment of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities, whether or not
Lender shall have (A) proceeded against Borrower or any other guarantor or any
other party primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of
Guarantor’s Liabilities or (B) resorted to or exhausted any other remedy or any
other security or collateral; and (vii) foreclose on, take possession of or sell
any of the collateral or security for Guarantor’s Liabilities or enforce any
other rights under any Loan Document.
(d) Lender’s
Option to Release. Lender may from time to time in Lender’s
sole discretion release Guarantor from any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
or release Borrower or any other obligor from any of the Indebtedness or the
Obligations without notice to any other guarantor or any other party and without
in any way releasing or affecting the liability of Guarantor.
(e) Application
of Payments. Lender may apply any payment made on account of the
Indebtedness or the Obligations toward such of the Indebtedness or the
Obligations, and in such order as Lender may from time to time elect in Lender’s
sole discretion, whether or not the Indebtedness or the Obligations are
guaranteed hereby, otherwise secured or due at the time of
application.
(f) Subordination.
Guarantor hereby subordinates any debts, obligations, claims or liens of
Guarantor against Borrower, of any kind (including any right of Guarantor to a
return of any capital contributed to Borrower), to all of Guarantor’s
Liabilities and to any other claims or liens of Lender against Borrower or the
property of any of them. Upon any notice by Lender to Borrower of any
Event of Default under any Loan Document, Guarantor shall enforce any of
Guarantor’s claims or liens as trustee for Lender, and shall cause any receipts
to be paid over to Lender without affecting in any manner the liability of
Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent of such payment. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, until the Indebtedness is paid in full and
all of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents have terminated, Guarantor
shall not, without Lender’s consent, take any action of any kind to enforce any
debts, claims or liens of Guarantor against Borrower. As long as no such notice
of default has been given by Lender, Guarantor may apply to Guarantor’s own
account payments made to Guarantor by or on behalf of Borrower.
F-3
(g) Certain
Events Not Affecting Obligations of Guarantor. The obligations
of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any of the following: (i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) the
release or discharge of Borrower in any creditors’, receivership, bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, or other proceeding; (iii) the rejection or
disaffirmance in any such proceeding of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities (iv) the
impairment or modification of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities, or of any remedy
for the enforcement thereof, or of the estate of Borrower in bankruptcy,
resulting from any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law or any
other law of any kind or from the decision or order of any court or other
governmental authority; (v) any disability or defense of Borrower; (vi) the
cessation of the liability of Borrower for any cause whatsoever other than
payment and performance in full of all of the Indebtedness and the Obligations;
(vii) any sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance (including any
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or any collateral sale pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code) of any of the security for any of Guarantor’s Liabilities,
regardless of the amount received by Lender in connection therewith; or (viii)
any disability or defense of any kind now existing of Guarantor with respect to
any provision of this Guaranty.
(h) No
Obligation of Lender Regarding Security Interest. Lender shall
have no obligation to obtain, perfect or retain a security interest in any
property to secure any of Guarantor’s Liabilities or this Guaranty (including
any mortgage or security interest contemplated by the Loan Documents), or to
protect or insure any such property.
(i) Filing of
Certain Claims. Guarantor shall promptly file in any bankruptcy or other
proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law all claims and
proofs of such claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower, and will
collaterally assign to Lender or its nominee all rights of Guarantor
thereunder. If Guarantor does not so file, Guarantor hereby
irrevocably authorizes Lender or Lender’s nominee to do so, either (in Lender’s
discretion) as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, or in the name of Lender or
Lender’s nominee. In all such cases, any party authorized to pay such
claim shall pay to Lender, or its nominee, the full amount thereof.
(j) Obligations
and Taxes. Guarantor shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon Guarantor or upon
Guarantor’s income or profits or in respect of Guarantor’s property before the
payment shall become delinquent or in default; provided, however, that Guarantor
shall not be required to pay and discharge or to cause to be paid and discharged
any such tax, assessment or governmental charge or levy so long as the validity
or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and Guarantor shall, to the extent required by generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis, have set aside on Guarantor’s books
adequate reserves with respect thereto.
46. Waivers

creation or non-payment of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities, presentment, demand,
notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and all other notices which may
be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect,
except any specifically required by this Guaranty.
(b) Disclosures
About Borrower. Any obligation Lender may have to disclose to Guarantor
any facts Lender now or hereafter may know or have reasonably available to it
regarding Borrower or Borrower’s financial conditions, or regarding the Property
or other collateral for the Note whether or not Lender has a reasonable
opportunity to communicate such facts or has reason to believe that any such
facts are unknown to Guarantor or materially increase the risk to Guarantor
beyond the risk Guarantor intends to assume hereunder. Guarantor shall be fully

Attention: ___________
(i) Entire
Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of
Guarantor for the benefit of Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes any prior agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
(j) No
Modification Without Writing. This Guaranty may not be
terminated or modified in any way nor can any right of Lender or any obligation
of Guarantor be waived or modified, except by a writing signed by Lender and
Guarantor.
(k) Independent
Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are
independent of the obligations of Borrower. In the event of any
default hereunder, Lender may institute a separate action against Guarantor with
or without joining or instituting a separate action against Borrower or against
any other guarantor or other obligor.
(l) Financial
Risk. Guarantor shall be fully responsible for keeping
himself, herself or itself, as the case may be, informed of the financial
condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk of
nonpayment or nonperformance of the Indebtedness or Obligations.
(m) Severability. Each
provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted so as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall in any respect
be ineffective or invalid under such law, such ineffectiveness or invalidity
shall not affect the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Guaranty.
(n) Cumulative. The
obligations of Guarantor hereunder are in addition to any other obligations
Guarantor may now or hereafter have to Lender, and shall not be affected in any
way by the delivery to Lender by Guarantor or any other guarantor of any other
guaranty, or any combination thereof. All rights and remedies of
Lender and all obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are
cumulative. In addition, Lender shall have all rights and remedies
available to Lender in law or equity for the enforcement of this
Guaranty.
(o) Effect of
Lender’s Delay or Action. No delay by Lender in the exercise
of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No
action of Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or otherwise affect
any right of Lender or obligation of Guarantor under this
Guaranty. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any decrease in
the value or marketability of any property securing any of Guarantor’s
Liabilities which may result from any action or omission of Lender in enforcing
any part of this Guaranty.
F-5
(p) Subrogation.
Until all of Guarantor’s Liabilities have been paid to Lender, and all periods
under applicable bankruptcy law for the contest of any payment by Guarantor as a
preferential or fraudulent payment have expired, Guarantor knowingly and with
advice of counsel, waives, relinquishes, releases and abandons all rights and
claims to indemnification, contribution, reimbursement, subrogation and payment
which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have by and from Borrower and
Borrower’s successors and assigns, for any payments made by Guarantor to Lender,
including without limitation, any rights which might allow Borrower, Borrower’s
successors and assigns or creditors, or a trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower to
claim in bankruptcy or any other similar proceedings that any payment made by
Borrower or Borrower’s successors and assigns to Lender was on behalf of or for
the benefit of Guarantor and that such payment is recoverable by Borrower, a
creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of such Borrower as a preferential payment,
fraudulent conveyance, payment of an insider or any other classification of
payment which may otherwise be recoverable from Lender. Guarantor further waives
any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender which destroys or
otherwise impairs any subrogation rights of Guarantor to proceed against
Borrower.
(q) Joint and
Several. Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be the joint and
several obligations and liabilities of Guarantor, Borrower and any other
guarantor of all or part of the Indebtedness or Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and
several nature of the liability of Guarantor’s Liabilities and the liens and
security interests, if any, granted as security for the Indebtedness or
Obligations, not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under the Bankruptcy Code or
a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions
of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any
state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time (a
“Fraudulent
Conveyance”). Consequently, if the
liability of Guarantor for Guarantor’s Liabilities, or any liens or security
interests granted by Guarantor securing Guarantor’s Liabilities would, but for
the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the
liability of Guarantor and the liens and security interests securing such
liability shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would
not cause such liability or such lien or security interest to constitute a
Fraudulent Conveyance.
(r) Unconditional
Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor shall be
unconditional, irrespective of (i) the institution of any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against Guarantor or Borrower
or Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code; (iii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy
Code, of all or any portion of Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of
Guarantor’s Liabilities; or (iv) any other circumstance other than payment in
full of Guarantor’s Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

Law. THE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY WERE NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE
PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND

REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING

notice or actual notice of death, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and
effect as to all Guarantor’s Liabilities contracted for or incurred before

if no revocation had occurred. Any renewal, extension or increase in
of any of the Guarantor’s Liabilities whether made before or after such

performance and not of collection. Lender shall not be required to

Guarantor’s Liabilities until such time as the Indebtedness has been paid in
full, other than sums received from Guarantor in full or partial satisfaction of
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder after the occurrence of an Event of Default
and demand is made under this Guaranty, it being the intention hereof that
Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be the last portion of the Indebtedness to be
deemed satisfied and Guarantor shall receive no credit for any amounts realized
by Lender by enforcement of any of its remedies or liens under any of the Loan
Documents.

Warranties. Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

Agreement.
(b) Enforceability.
Each obligation under this Guaranty is legal, valid, binding and enforceable
against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(c) No
Violations. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Guaranty nor compliance with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty will
violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order, or will
conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document,
agreement or contract of any kind that creates, represents, evidences or
provides for any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets
of Guarantor, or any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument,
document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Guarantor is a party or to
which Guarantor or the property of Guarantor may be subject.

agency, authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, relating to Guarantor
is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty.

00. Xxxxxxxxxxx
. Xxxxxxxxx hereby

representations or warranties set forth in this Guaranty, and the loss,
mitigation, subordination or other consequences adverse to Lender by reason of
this Guaranty being challenged as a preference or suffering any other
subjugation under any bankruptcy or other law, whether state or federal,
affecting debtors, creditors and/or the relationship between such
parties.
54. Covenants
. For as long as
this Guaranty shall remain in effect, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Transfers,
Sales, Etc. Guarantor may sell, lease, transfer, convey or
assign any of Guarantor’s material assets, directly or indirectly, so long as
such transaction:
i) does not
breach any restriction on transfers set forth in the Loan
Documents;
ii) could not
be reasonably deemed to be a Fraudulent Conveyance (as hereinafter defined)
under applicable law, and
iii) will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
Guarantor.
(b) Rescinded
or Returned Payments. If at any time any part of any payment
previously applied by Lender to any of Guarantor’s Liabilities is rescinded or
returned by Lender for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Borrower or any other party, Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be
deemed to have continued in existence to the extent that such payment is
rescinded or returned, and this Guaranty shall be reinstated as to Guarantor’s
Liabilities as though such prior application by Lender had not been
made.
(c) Certain
Permitted Actions of Lender. Lender may from time to time, in
Lender’s sole discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any of the
following actions without in any way affecting the obligations of Guarantor: (i)
obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Indebtedness or
the Obligations or any obligation hereunder; (ii) obtain the primary or
secondary obligation of any additional obligor or obligors with respect to any
of the Indebtedness or the Obligations; (iii) extend, modify, subordinate,
exchange or release any of the Indebtedness or the Obligations; (iv) modify,

of any obligor with respect to any such property; (v) alter the manner or place
of payment of the Indebtedness or the Obligations; (vi) enforce this Guaranty
against Guarantor for payment of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities, whether or not
Lender shall have (A) proceeded against Borrower or any other guarantor or any
other party primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of
Guarantor’s Liabilities or (B) resorted to or exhausted any other remedy or any
other security or collateral; and (vii) foreclose on, take possession of or sell
any of the collateral or security for Guarantor’s Liabilities or enforce any
other rights under any Loan Document.
(d) Lender’s
Option to Release. Lender may from time to time in Lender’s
sole discretion release Guarantor from any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
or release Borrower or any other obligor from any of the Indebtedness or the
Obligations without notice to any other guarantor or any other party and without
in any way releasing or affecting the liability of Guarantor.
(e) Application
of Payments. Lender may apply any payment made on account of the
Indebtedness or the Obligations toward such of the Indebtedness or the
Obligations, and in such order as Lender may from time to time elect in Lender’s
sole discretion, whether or not the Indebtedness or the Obligations are
guaranteed hereby, otherwise secured or due at the time of
application.
(f) Subordination.
Guarantor hereby subordinates any debts, obligations, claims or liens of
Guarantor against Borrower, of any kind (including any right of Guarantor to a
return of any capital contributed to Borrower), to all of Guarantor’s
Liabilities and to any other claims or liens of Lender against Borrower or the
property of any of them. Upon any notice by Lender to Borrower of any
Event of Default under any Loan Document, Guarantor shall enforce any of
Guarantor’s claims or liens as trustee for Lender, and shall cause any receipts
to be paid over to Lender without affecting in any manner the liability of
Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent of such payment. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, until the Indebtedness is paid in full and
all of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents have terminated, Guarantor
shall not, without Lender’s consent, take any action of any kind to enforce any
debts, claims or liens of Guarantor against Borrower. As long as no such notice
of default has been given by Lender, Guarantor may apply to Guarantor’s own
account payments made to Guarantor by or on behalf of Borrower.
(g) Certain
Events Not Affecting Obligations of Guarantor. The obligations
of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any of the following: (i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) the
release or discharge of Borrower in any creditors’, receivership, bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, or other proceeding; (iii) the rejection or
disaffirmance in any such proceeding of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities (iv) the
impairment or modification of any of Guarantor’s Liabilities, or of any remedy
for the enforcement thereof, or of the estate of Borrower in bankruptcy,
resulting from any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law or any
other law of any kind or from the decision or order of any court or other
governmental authority; (v) any disability or defense of Borrower; (vi) the
cessation of the liability of Borrower for any cause whatsoever other than
payment and performance in full of all of the Indebtedness and the Obligations;
(vii) any sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance (including any
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or any collateral sale pursuant to the Uniform

F-10
(h) No
Obligation of Lender Regarding Security Interest. Lender shall
have no obligation to obtain, perfect or retain a security interest in any
property to secure any of Guarantor’s Liabilities or this Guaranty (including
any mortgage or security interest contemplated by the Loan Documents), or to
protect or insure any such property.
(i) Filing of
Certain Claims. Guarantor shall promptly file in any bankruptcy or other
proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law all claims and
proofs of such claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower, and will
collaterally assign to Lender or its nominee all rights of Guarantor
thereunder. If Guarantor does not so file, Guarantor hereby
irrevocably authorizes Lender or Lender’s nominee to do so, either (in Lender’s
discretion) as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, or in the name of Lender or
Lender’s nominee. In all such cases, any party authorized to pay such
claim shall pay to Lender, or its nominee, the full amount thereof.
(j) Obligations
and Taxes. Guarantor shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon Guarantor or upon
Guarantor’s income or profits or in respect of Guarantor’s property before the
payment shall become delinquent or in default; provided, however, that Guarantor
shall not be required to pay and discharge or to cause to be paid and discharged
any such tax, assessment or governmental charge or levy so long as the validity
or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and Guarantor shall, to the extent required by generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis, have set aside on Guarantor’s books
adequate reserves with respect thereto.

except any specifically required by this Guaranty.
(b) Disclosures
About Borrower. Any obligation Lender may have to disclose to Guarantor
any facts Lender now or hereafter may know or have reasonably available to it
regarding Borrower or Borrower’s financial conditions, or regarding the Property
or other collateral for the Note whether or not Lender has a reasonable
opportunity to communicate such facts or has reason to believe that any such
facts are unknown to Guarantor or materially increase the risk to Guarantor
beyond the risk Guarantor intends to assume hereunder. Guarantor shall be fully
responsible for keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of
all other circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of
Guarantor’s Liabilities.
(c) Diligence
in Collection. All diligence in collection of any of

Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate of any other person or
entity in any administrative, bankruptcy or other proceeding.
(f) Election
of Remedies Defense. Any defense based on an election of
remedies by Lender, whether or not such election may affect in any way the
recourse, subrogation or other rights of Guarantor against Borrower or any other
person in connection with Guarantor’s Liabilities.
(g) Defenses
Relating to Collateral Sale. Any defense based on the failure
of Lender to: (i) provide notice to Guarantor of a sale or other disposition

of the security for any of Guarantor’s Liabilities; or (ii) conduct such a sale
or disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
(h) Right to
Enforce Lender’s Remedies. Any right to enforce any remedies
or to participate in any security Lender now has, or later may have, against
Borrower, or any requirement to exhaust any remedies, whether by subrogation or
otherwise, or any requirement to mitigate damages, until all of the Indebtedness
has been paid to Lender and all other Obligations have been
performed.
56. Miscellaneous.
(a) Continuing
Guaranty. This Guaranty is unconditional and irrevocable and
shall in all respects be a continuing guaranty and a primary obligation of
Guarantor and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, abatement,
deferment or defense based on any claim that Guarantor may have against Lender,
Borrower, or any other person or entity. This Guaranty shall remain
in full force and effect until all of the following have occurred: (i) all of
Guarantor’s Liabilities have been satisfied in full; and (ii) Lender has no
further obligation to make any advance under the Loan Documents. No
notice of discontinuance or revocation shall affect any of the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder or of Borrower or of any other obligor with respect to any
of Guarantor’s Liabilities. Lender shall not be obligated to accept
at any time any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and all obligations of Guarantor
hereunder shall survive foreclosure or any deed in lieu of foreclosure which
Lender may accept, to the extent any of Guarantor’s Liabilities remain
unsatisfied.
F-11
(b) Obligations;
Successors and Assigns. All obligations under
this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon Guarantor’s heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of

time, without notice to Guarantor, assign or transfer any interest in any of
Guarantor’s Liabilities by loan participation or otherwise, and notwithstanding
such assignment or transfer, such Guarantor’s Liabilities shall remain
Guarantor’s Liabilities for purposes of this Guaranty.
(d) No
Exculpation. No exculpatory, “non-recourse”, “limited
recourse”, or other language contained in any other Loan Document or in any
other document shall in any way prevent or limit Lender from enforcing this
Guaranty against Guarantor personally.
(e) Legal
Tender of United States. All payments hereunder shall be made

Attention: ___________
(i) Entire
Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of
Guarantor for the benefit of Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes any prior agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
(j) No
Modification Without Writing. This Guaranty may not be
terminated or modified in any way nor can any right of Lender or any obligation
of Guarantor be waived or modified, except by a writing signed by Lender and
Guarantor.
(k) Independent
Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are
independent of the obligations of Borrower. In the event of any
default hereunder, Lender may institute a separate action against Guarantor with
or without joining or instituting a separate action against Borrower or against
any other guarantor or other obligor.
(l) Financial
Risk. Guarantor shall be fully responsible for keeping
himself, herself or itself, as the case may be, informed of the financial
condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk of
nonpayment or nonperformance of the Indebtedness or Obligations.
(m) Severability. Each
provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted so as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall in any respect
be ineffective or invalid under such law, such ineffectiveness or invalidity
shall not affect the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Guaranty.
(n) Cumulative. The
obligations of Guarantor hereunder are in addition to any other obligations
Guarantor may now or hereafter have to Lender, and shall not be affected in any
way by the delivery to Lender by Guarantor or any other guarantor of any other
guaranty, or any combination thereof. All rights and remedies of
Lender and all obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are
cumulative. In addition, Lender shall have all rights and remedies
available to Lender in law or equity for the enforcement of this
Guaranty.
(o) Effect of
Lender’s Delay or Action. No delay by Lender in the exercise
of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No
action of Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or otherwise affect
any right of Lender or obligation of Guarantor under this
Guaranty. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any decrease in
the value or marketability of any property securing any of Guarantor’s
Liabilities which may result from any action or omission of Lender in enforcing
any part of this Guaranty.
(p) Subrogation.
Until all of Guarantor’s Liabilities have been paid to Lender, and all periods
under applicable bankruptcy law for the contest of any payment by Guarantor as a
preferential or fraudulent payment have expired, Guarantor knowingly and with
advice of counsel, waives, relinquishes, releases and abandons all rights and
claims to indemnification, contribution, reimbursement, subrogation and payment
which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have by and from Borrower and
Borrower’s successors and assigns, for any payments made by Guarantor to Lender,
including without limitation, any rights which might allow Borrower, Borrower’s
successors and assigns or creditors, or a trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower to
claim in bankruptcy or any other similar proceedings that any payment made by
Borrower or Borrower’s successors and assigns to Lender was on behalf of or for
the benefit of Guarantor and that such payment is recoverable by Borrower, a
creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of such Borrower as a preferential payment,
fraudulent conveyance, payment of an insider or any other classification of
payment which may otherwise be recoverable from Lender. Guarantor further waives
any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender which destroys or
otherwise impairs any subrogation rights of Guarantor to proceed against
Borrower.
F-12
(q) Joint and
Several. Guarantor’s Liabilities shall be the joint and
several obligations and liabilities of Guarantor, Borrower and any other
guarantor of all or part of the Indebtedness or Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and
several nature of the liability of Guarantor’s Liabilities and the liens and
security interests, if any, granted as security for the Indebtedness or
Obligations, not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under the Bankruptcy Code or
a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions
of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any
state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time (a
“Fraudulent
Conveyance”). Consequently, if the
liability of Guarantor for Guarantor’s Liabilities, or any liens or security
interests granted by Guarantor securing Guarantor’s Liabilities would, but for
the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the
liability of Guarantor and the liens and security interests securing such
liability shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would
not cause such liability or such lien or security interest to constitute a
Fraudulent Conveyance.
(r) Unconditional
Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor shall be
unconditional, irrespective of (i) the institution of any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against Guarantor or Borrower
or Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code; (iii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy
Code, of all or any portion of Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of
Guarantor’s Liabilities; or (iv) any other circumstance other than payment in
full of Guarantor’s Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
(s) Governing
Law. THE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY WERE NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE
PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.
THEREFORE, THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED WITH, AND GOVERNED
BY, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO NEW

YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AT LENDER’S OPTION; (B) CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING; (C)
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN ANY SUCH
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS; AND (D) AGREES TO JOIN LENDER
IN ANY PETITION FOR REMOVAL TO ANY OF SUCH COURTS.
(u) Waiver of
Jury Trial. GUARANTOR AND LENDER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
GUARANTY, HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY OR BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND
VOLUNTARILY MADE BY GUARANTOR AND LENDER, AND GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF LENDER HAS MADE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY
ACTIONS WHICH IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING
INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN
THEIR RELATED FURTHER DEALINGS.
57. Revocation. Upon revocation by written
notice or actual notice of death, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and
effect as to all Guarantor’s Liabilities contracted for or incurred before
revocation, and as the Lender shall have the rights provided by this Guaranty as
if no revocation had occurred. Any renewal, extension or increase in
of any of the Guarantor’s Liabilities whether made before or after such
revocation, shall constitute a part of the Guarantor’s Liabilities contracted
for or incurred before revocation.
58. Marital
Property. Guarantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the obligations and liabilities incurred by
Guarantor hereunder are incurred in the interest of his marriage or
family.
