ARTICLE 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1. Guaranty of Obligations.
(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and Agent and their successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.
(b) As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means the Section 9.4 Obligations.
(c) Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no Borrower equity (including the Required Equity or any Borrower Funds) contributed by Borrower at any time during the term of the Loan (whether such Borrower equity was initially contributed by Borrower as required by the Loan Agreement on the Closing Date or was or is subsequently contributed after the Closing Date) shall in any event be applied to reduce (or be deemed to be applied in reduction of) Guarantor’s repayment obligations under this Guaranty, other than to the extent such Borrower equity is contributed specifically to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations following demand by Lender hereunder. Guarantor shall not receive any credit against the Guaranteed Obligations for any sums applied, from time to time, in reduction of the Indebtedness (including any proceeds received by Lender upon realization of any of the collateral securing the Note) until such time as Lender shall have received sums sufficient to repay (i) all fees, costs, and expenses payable with respect to the Note, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest due under or with respect to the Note, and (iii) principal repayments. Guarantor hereby consents to Lender’s application of payments of any kind, including through the proceeds of the realization on collateral, to any of the foregoing fees, costs or expenses, or interest or principal, in such order as Lender may elect, it being the understanding and agreement of Guarantor that Lender shall be entitled to apply such proceeds in a manner designed to maximize Lender’s recovery hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that amounts bid and paid at any foreclosure sale or other realization on collateral for the Note shall be binding for determining the reduction of any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, neither Agent nor Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right which Agent and/or Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations and/or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Agent and Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 1.2. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unlimited in amount and primary, irrevocable, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon pursuit by Lender or Agent of any remedies it may have against Borrower under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any remedies it might have against any other Person. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor; provided, however, that such obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations together with other amounts specifically recoverable hereunder. The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced or otherwise modified in any manner or to any extent shall not release, diminish or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender and Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Agent (on behalf of Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note) and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or any part of the Loan.
Section 1.3. Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender and Agent hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, Guarantor) against Lender and Agent or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender’s and Agent’s rights under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights of Lender and Agent under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. FURTHER, PAYMENTS MADE BY GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTY SHALL NOT REDUCE IN ANY RESPECT BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE NOTE, THE MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO, AND TO THE EXTENT OF, BORROWER’S OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY FOR THE PAYMENT MADE BY GUARANTOR.
Section 1.4. Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be immediately paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Agent or Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender or Agent at Lender’s or Agent’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may
be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof. Upon the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Borrower which qualifies as a Springing Recourse Event, this Guaranty shall become immediately due and payable without demand (which demand is specifically waived) against Guarantor or Borrower with regard to all Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Borrower that does not qualify as a Springing Recourse Event the Guaranteed Obligations constituting Section 9.4 Obligations under clause (i) and (iii) of such definition (as defined in the Loan Agreement) but not under clause (ii) of such definition shall become immediately due and payable without demand (which demand is specifically waived) against Guarantor or Borrower with respect to all such clause (i) and clause (ii) obligations that are then or thereafter outstanding and unpaid. If Guarantor’s liability under this Section arises as a result of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding commenced against Borrower or Guarantor and such involuntary bankruptcy proceeding does not otherwise constitute a Springing Recourse Event, then, if such involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is dismissed within ninety (90) days, Guarantor shall be relieved of any liability that arose solely as a result of such involuntary bankruptcy proceeding.
Section 1.5. No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender or Agent (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender or Agent), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s and Agent’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s and Agent’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender and Agent against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Neither Lender nor Agent shall be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.6. Waivers.
(a) Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and with respect thereto hereby waives notice (to the extent such notice is not otherwise expressly required pursuant to the terms of one of the other Loan Documents) of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower, Agent and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s or Agent’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender or Agent and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.
(b) Guarantor hereby expressly waives and releases all claims, objections and defenses it may have as a potential surety for Borrower and agrees not to assert any such matters in opposition to the enforcement of Agent’s or Lender’s rights under this Guaranty.
Section 1.7. Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand by Lender or Agent, pay Lender or Agent all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender or Agent in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s and Agent’s rights hereunder, and if not paid within five (5) days of such written demand, Guarantor shall pay interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date of the written demand of Lender or Agent until such expenses are paid to Agent; provided, however, if an Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing on the date such expenses are incurred by Agent,
such interest shall accrue from and after the date such expenses are incurred until such expenses are paid to Agent. The covenants contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.8. Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, (a) Lender or Agent must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender or Agent in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender or Agent shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect, and (b) notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, (i) all amounts then or thereafter payable hereunder shall be and remain immediately due and payable and (ii) Guarantor hereby waives all demands and notices of every kind. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
Section 1.9. Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Lender or Agent), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether an action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower is joined in any such action or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor either in the same action, if any, brought against Borrower or in separate actions, as often as Lender or Agent, in their sole discretion, may deem advisable.

ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1. Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been, or may hereafter be, acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2. Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Agent and Lender shall have the right to prove their claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends, distributions and payments to Agent (for the benefit of Lender). Should Agent or Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon the ninety-first (91st) day after irrevocable payment to Agent (for the benefit of Lender) in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Agent or Lender, as applicable, to the extent that such payments to Agent or Lender, as applicable, on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Agent or Lender, as applicable, had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3. Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, though except as provided in Section 4.1 above, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Agent and Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Agent, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Agent.
Section 4.4. Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor, Agent or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.
