If any demand is made at any time upon Lender for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if Lender repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder, and the Guaranteed Obligations will continue to include, the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by Lender. The provisions of this section will remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action will be without prejudice to Lender's rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.
7. Enforceability of Obligations. No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under any Debtor Relief Law will affect, modify, limit or discharge Guarantor's liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.
8. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following will be an "Event of Default" under this Guaranty: (a) any material breach by Guarantor of its representations and warranties, or default of its covenants and obligations, under this Guaranty, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents), or (c) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (d) upon demand by Lender, Guarantor will immediately pay to Lender the Guaranteed Obligations; and/or (e) upon demand by Lender, Guarantor will immediately deposit with Lender, in U.S. dollars, the Guaranteed Obligations, and Lender may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; and/or (f) Lender in its sole discretion may exercise with respect to any Collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; and/or (g) Lender in its sole discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.
12 |
9. Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against Guarantor's money, securities or other property given to Lender by law, Lender will have, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, rights of setoff described in Section 10.2(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement.
10. Guarantor Claims.
(a) Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, all other obligations hereunder have been performed and discharged, and all Commitments have terminated or expired, each Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any Guarantor Claims and hereby assigns all such Guarantor Claims to Lender, including the right (but not the obligation) to file proof of claim and to vote in any action under any Debtor Relief Law, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization, liquidation or other proposal for debt adjustment under any Debtor Relief Law.
(b) Guarantor agrees that no payment by it under this Guaranty will give rise to (i) any rights of subrogation against Borrower or the Collateral for the Obligations, or (ii) any rights of contribution against any other Person, in each case unless and until Lender has received full and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations. If the deferral of such rights will be unenforceable for any reason, Guarantor agrees that (iii) its rights of subrogation will be junior and subordinate to Lender's rights against Borrower, any other guarantor, and the Collateral for the Obligations, and (iv) its rights of contribution against any other Person will be junior and subordinate to the rights against any other Person of Lender.
(c) Any Guarantor Claim will be and hereby is deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. Guarantor agrees that should Guarantor receive any funds, payment, claim, distribution, satisfaction or security for any Guarantor Claim, the same will be delivered to Lender in the form received (endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate) for application on account of, or as security for, the Obligations and until so delivered to Lender, will be held in trust for Lender as security for the Obligations, and agrees that it will have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claim, distribution, satisfaction or security except to pay or deliver the same to Lender, and Guarantor covenants to promptly pay or deliver the same to Lender.
(d) Guarantor agrees that it will have no liens or security interests upon a Loan Party's assets to secure any Guarantor Claim and, to the extent that any such lien or security interest in Guarantor's assets exists or will hereafter be created or attach for any reason, such liens and security interests are and will remain inferior and subordinate to the liens and security interests of Lender securing the Obligations. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, Guarantor will not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor's rights it may have against any Loan Party, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps to institute any action or proceedings to enforce any liens or security interests on any asset of any Loan Party.
13 |
(e) In the event of any bankruptcy action or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender will have the right to prove its claim in any such action or 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 and payments to Lender. Should the Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which will constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon full payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor will be subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments with respect to any such Guarantor Claim have contributed toward the liquidation of all the obligations under this Guaranty, and such subrogation will be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon such Guarantor Claim.
11. Actions by Guarantor Against Borrower. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute or join in the institution of any action or proceeding against Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law. Upon the commencement of any such action or proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantor not shall seek or cause Borrower to seek a supplemental stay or other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights against Borrower, any other guarantor or the Collateral.
12. Intentionally Deleted.
13. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted will be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.
14. Preservation of Rights. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document will affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Guaranty and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. Lender may proceed in any order against any Loan Party or any other obligor of, or any collateral securing, the Obligations.
15. Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Guaranty is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
16. Changes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by Guarantor from, any provision of this Guaranty will be effective unless made pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement. No notice to or demand on Guarantor will entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
17. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between Guarantor and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Guaranty is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other Guaranty or Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party.
14 |
18. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Guarantor and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty in whole or in part without Lender's prior written consent. The death or disability of any natural person who is a Guarantor shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty, either with respect to the estate of the person so dying, which shall continue to be bound, or otherwise. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by any transfer of interests in Borrower, even though the Lender may have consented to such transfer pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto is null and void.
19. Treatment of Certain Information. Guarantor agrees that Information concerning Guarantor may be disclosed (a) to any Affiliates and Related Parties of Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential; (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other Loan Party; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Guaranty; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Borrower, Guarantor, any other Loan Parties, or their Affiliates, or the Loan or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan; (h) with the consent of Guarantor, any other Loan Party or their Affiliates whose consent is required; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to Lender or any of its Affiliates on a not confidential basis from a source other than Guarantor, the other Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided by applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement or this Guaranty is considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain confidentiality as such Person could accord to its own confidential information.
20. Joint and Several Liability. Except as otherwise set forth above with respect to the several nature of the Principal Amount guaranteed obligations, Guarantor, if more than one, acknowledges and agrees that all other obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several, and all references to the Guarantor herein shall be deemed to refer to each of such parties comprising the Guarantor both individually and collectively with the other such parties.
21. Interpretation. In this Guaranty, unless Guarantor and Lender otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; words importing any gender include the other genders; references to statutes are to be construed as including all statutory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute referred to; the word "or" will be deemed to include "and/or", the words "including", "includes" and "include" will be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation", references to articles, sections (or subdivisions of sections) or exhibits are to those of this Guaranty; and references to agreements and other contractual instruments will be deemed to include all subsequent amendments and other modifications to such instruments, but only to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents. Section headings in this Guaranty are included for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose.
15 |
22. Indemnity. Guarantor agrees to indemnify Lender, each legal entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Lender and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), and to defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable fees and charges of internal or external counsel with whom any Indemnified Party may consult and all expenses of litigation and preparation therefor) which any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by any person, entity or governmental authority (including any person or entity claiming derivatively on behalf of Guarantor), in connection with or arising out of the matters referred to in this Guaranty or in the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise provided under this Guaranty; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender may participate in the defense of any such action or claim. The provisions of this Section will survive the termination, satisfaction or release of this Guaranty, the foreclosure of the Mortgage or other liens upon any Collateral, the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, payment of all or any Note or portion of the Loan and assignment of any rights hereunder.
23. Equal Credit Opportunity Act. If Guarantor is not an "applicant for credit" under Section 202.2 (e) of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 ("ECOA"), Guarantor acknowledges that (i) this Guaranty has been executed to provide credit support for the Obligations, and (ii) Guarantor was not required to execute this Guaranty in violation of Section 202.7(d) of the ECOA.
24. Authorization to Obtain Credit Reports. By signing below, each Guarantor who is an individual provides written authorization to Lender or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee) to obtain Guarantor's personal credit profile from one or more national credit bureaus. Such authorization will extend to obtaining a credit profile in considering this Guaranty and subsequently for the purposes of update, renewal or extension of such credit or additional credit and for reviewing or collecting the resulting account.
25. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.
(A) GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
16 |
(B) JURISDICTION. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF LENDER, IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTOR, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA SITTING IN XXX COUNTY, OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF.

GUARANTOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING IS CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AFFECTS ANY RIGHT THAT LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(C) WAIVER OF VENUE. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(D) SERVICE OF PROCESS. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF GUARANTOR OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
26. Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). GUARANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON COULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) IF MORE THAN ONE GUARANTOR IS A PARTY, GUARANTOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
