This Guaranty will take effect when received by the Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by the Lender, or any notice to the Guarantor or |
to the Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by the Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall provide to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxx, XX Xxx 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, as agent of the limited partners of the Lender (the “Agent”), such quarterly and annual financial statements and operational reports as it may provide to its principal lender as promptly as reasonably practicable following the preparation thereof.
