Post-Closing Licensee or prior to confirming to Buyer that the Licenses are in place, no material violations exist, and the Property is in good standing, the Seller’s performing of all such required repairs and alterations at Seller’s expense and payment of any and all such fines by Seller shall be a condition to Buyer’s Closing. If any operational changes are required by such regulatory authorities as a condition to issuing Licenses, Seller’s implementing such action at Seller’s
expense shall be a material obligation and condition to Closing. If Seller fails to take such foregoing actions, Buyer shall have the remedy available under Section 11.2(a).
(c) Sections 7.8(a) and (b) shall survive Closing.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 General. The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X and the other rights
described in this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party’s successors or permitted assigns) would otherwise have by Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to be compensated more than once for
the same monetary damage.
10.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Tenant, and each of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns
from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) Any breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document;
(b) The ownership, operation or control of the Property prior to the Closing, including without limitation, any and all liabilities which relate to events occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of when they are asserted or whether such was disclosed to Buyer and regardless
of whether such was a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant by Seller, except for (i) Assumed Obligations, and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the extent of any Adjustment Amount credited to the Buyer; and
(c) Claims by CLW or any other party claiming to have represented Seller or Landlord as broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) The Accrued Employee Benefits.
10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and

(a) Any material breach by Buyer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; and
29
(b) The Assumed Obligations.
10.4 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.2 and Section
10.3, the following procedure shall apply:
(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give a reasonably prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense
with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (x) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (y) representation of both parties by the same counsel
would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (x), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the
Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party. In the case of clause (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs of defense of both itself and the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified
Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE X.
(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate
actual Loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that no indemnification right or obligation shall apply to the extent any such Loss or expense is paid to an Indemnified Party by an insurance company.
30
(e) The right to pursue indemnification as set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(a) shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, and the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in all other Sections of this ARTICLE
X shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to pursue indemnification as set forth in this ARTICLE X shall be actionable or payable only if valid claims for Losses, if any,
collectively aggregate more than Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000) (the “Floor”), and Seller’s aggregate liability to Buyer for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a), and Buyer’s aggregate liability to Seller for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a), respectively, shall
not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, that (i) the foregoing limitations (both the Floor and the Cap) shall not apply in the case of fraud on the part of Buyer, Seller or any of their
respective Affiliates, or to any claims arising under Section 10.2(b), Section 10.2(c), Section 10.2(d), or Section 10.3(b) (none of which shall be limited in any manner
whatsoever), and (ii) the Cap shall not apply (but the Floor shall apply) to any claims arising under Section 10.2 with respect to the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE IV (which shall be limited to the Purchase Price) or Section 10.3 (with respect to the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE
V (which shall be limited to the Purchase Price). In addition, Buyer agrees to concurrently seek recovery against Seller, under any insurance policies, the Title Policy and other applicable agreements, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is actually satisfied from any sums recovered from such insurance policies, Title Policy or other applicable agreements. FINALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY
EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD.
ARTICLE XI

12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior negotiations,

12.4 Binding Effect; Benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns. Except
to the extent specified herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto and any Indemnified Party and their respective successors or permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
12.5 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party prior to Closing without the written consent of the Buyer and Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in each such party’s sole
and absolute discretion, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder without the consent of Seller (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) to a partnership in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a general partner, (iii) a limited liability company in which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer is a manager or managing member or (iv) any other lawful entity entitled to do business in the state in which the Property is located provided such entity is controlled by, controlling or under the common
control with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (each, a “Permitted Buyer-Assignee”). In the event of such an assignment to a Permitted Buyer-Assignee, Buyer shall not be released from any of its duties, covenants, obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement and, from and after any such assignment, Buyer and such Permitted Buyer-Assignee shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement, and from
and after any such assignment, the term “Buyer” shall be deemed to mean such Permitted Buyer-Assignee under any such assignment. Nothing herein shall preclude a party from implementing an exchange under Section 12.15 below subject to the terms thereof.
12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located without regard to its principles of conflicts
of laws. Venue for any dispute shall be in Manatee County, Florida.
35
12.7 Amendments and Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by: (i) Buyer and Seller with respect
to any provision contained herein; and (ii) Buyer, Seller, and Escrow Agent with respect to Section 2.6 hereof. Any waiver shall be effective only in accordance with its express terms and conditions.
12.8 Joint and Several. If there is more than one Seller hereunder, Seller shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Seller for performing all obligations of Seller under this Agreement.
12.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable in any respect.
12.10 Headings. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and accepted in one or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute
one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof via facsimile transmission or by electronic mail transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
12.12 References. All references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement unless a different document is expressly specified.
12.13 Seller Disclosure Letter. The Seller Disclosure Letter delivered by the Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and each Schedule and Exhibit comprising the Seller Disclosure Letter referred to in this Agreement,
shall be deemed to be attached hereto and incorporated by reference even though it may be maintained separately from this Agreement or completed after the Effective Date so long as it is acknowledged as a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement by the parties hereto as of Closing. Any item disclosed hereunder (including in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes hereof irrespective of the specific representation or warranty to which it is explicitly referenced.
12.14 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings an action to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” in such action shall, in addition to any other
recovery, be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any bankruptcy action related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to trial. For purposes of this Section 12.14, “prevailing party” shall mean, in the case of a person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially
all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought.
36
12.15 Section 1031 Exchange/Tax Planning. If requested by either Buyer or Seller, the other party shall cooperate in permitting the other to accomplish an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code or to restructure this
transaction in a way which is more advantageous for tax purposes; provided, however, that such exchange or restructuring shall not modify any underlying financial or other material terms of this Agreement, shall not delay the Closing, shall not relieve Buyer or Seller of any liability for their respective obligations hereunder, and shall not result in any other party incurring any
greater cost or expense that it otherwise would if any such exchange had not been elected.
12.16 Casualty. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of any fire
or other casualty (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has knowledge of the occurrence of same), which notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate of the cost of time to repair. If (i) any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or casualty after the Effective Date and is not repaired and restored substantially to its original condition prior to Closing, or (ii) at the time of Closing the estimated cost of repairs as to the Property is ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00) or less, as determined by an independent adjuster selected by Seller, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either: (x) receive a credit at Closing of the estimated cost or repairs to the Property, as determined by the aforesaid independent adjuster, plus any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty; or (y) receive from Seller at Closing (I)
an assignment, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, of all insurance claims and proceeds with respect thereto, plus (II) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible, plus (III) a credit for the amount of any reasonably estimated lost revenue following Closing arising from such fire or casualty. If the estimated cost of repairing such damage to the Property is more than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00), as determined by such independent adjuster,
Buyer may, at its sole option: (x) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller on or before the earlier of the Closing or the tenth (10th) day after receipt of such notice described above, in which event no party shall have any further liability to the party under this Agreement; or (y) proceed to Closing as provided in this Section 12.16. In no event shall
the amount of insurance proceeds assigned to Buyer under this subparagraph (plus the amount of the deductible) exceed the lesser of (i) the cost of repair or (ii) the Purchase Price. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.16 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
12.17 Condemnation. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property by condemnation before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened,
Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof (in any event within five (5) days after Seller first has knowledge of the occurrence of same), together with such reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Seller may have knowledge. If, prior to Closing, there is a material taking by eminent domain at the Property, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option, and upon receipt by Seller of the written notice of an election by Buyer to treat this Agreement as null
and void, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said material taking, or if there is less than a material taking prior to Closing, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price and Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation of warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest
in and to any award made or to be made in the condemnation proceeding (in which event Buyer shall have the right to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claim relating to said damage). For the purpose of this Section 12.17, the term “material” shall mean any taking of in excess of five percent (5%) of the square footage of the Property
or ten percent (10%) of the Real Property associated with the Property. The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 12.17 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
37
12.18 Radon Gas. The following notice is incorporated into this Contract pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes:
Radon Gas: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed Federal and State guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your County Public Health Unit.
12.19 Limited Liability. No past, present, or future member, partner, shareholder, director, officer of employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever in connection
with or under this Agreement or Document contemplated hereby or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other agreement.

I that are used in such surviving term or provision shall also survive.
12.21 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters contemplated by this Agreement.
12.22 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Buyer, Seller, Guarantor and Escrow Agent only
and are not for the benefit of any third party; and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
12.23 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), and extended to THE OAKS BRADENTON, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), for the benefit of OAKS HOLDINGS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the
“Seller”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Buyer has agreed to purchase, and Seller has agreed to sell and cause to be transferred to Buyer, an assisted living facility known as Windsor Oaks (the “Facility”), located at 0000 00xx Xxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 and real and personal property associated therewith pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement between Seller and Buyer dated of even date herewith (the “Agreement”).
WHEREAS, without this Guaranty, Buyer would be unwilling to enter into the Agreement with the Seller or to consummate the transactions contemplated therein.
WHEREAS, because of the direct benefit to Guarantor, as an affiliate of Seller, from the transaction described in the Agreement, and as an inducement to Buyer to enter into the Agreement, Guarantor agrees to guarantee to Buyer the obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement as
set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits received by Guarantor as a result of the Buyer’s execution of and performance under the Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration given by Seller to Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged
by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1. |
Guaranty of Payment. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Buyer the payment, when due, of all Seller Obligations. For the purposes hereof, the term “Seller Obligations” shall include any and all payment, reimbursement, and indemnity obligations
of Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation, all obligations of the Seller pursuant to Article X or Article XI of the Agreement, as such Seller Obligations may be modified, amended, increased, or extended from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the Guarantor. The guaranty of Guarantor, as set forth in this section, is a guaranty of payment. |
2. |
Subordination. All rights and claims of Guarantor now or hereafter existing including, without limitation, rights to distributions or dividends from the Seller (collectively the “Guarantor Claims”) against Seller or any of Seller’s property which Seller now
owns or shall acquire in the future or hereafter existing shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Seller Obligations to Buyer. No Guarantor’s Claims shall, in any event, be payable from Seller to Guarantor while any amount owed to Buyer by Seller is outstanding pursuant to the Agreement. |
3. |
Guarantor Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of (a) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of any of Seller’s assets or the assets of any other party now or hereafter held as security for the Seller Obligations; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death
or disability of any Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Seller Obligations, or Seller or any other person or entity, or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Seller or Guarantor, or the failure of Buyer to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of Seller or any other person or entity; (c) any defense based on the failure of Buyer to give notice of the existence, creation, or incurring of any new or additional Seller Obligations, or of
any action or non-action on the part of any other person whomsoever, or any modification, amendment, increase, or extension of the terms of the Agreement, or the Seller Obligations, in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Buyer which destroys or otherwise impairs any subrogation rights of Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Seller Obligations or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Seller or any other guarantor for reimbursement, or both;
(e) any defense based upon failure of Buyer to commence an action against Seller; (f) any defense based upon acceptance of this Guaranty by Buyer; (g) any defense based upon the invalidity or unenforceability of the Agreement or any of the Seller Obligations; (h) any defense based upon the failure of Buyer to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; and (i) any other legal or equitable defenses whatsoever to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled other than to the extent
related to the underlying merits of whether or not a Seller Obligation exists. |
4. |
Consent to Buyer’s Actions or Inactions. Guarantor consents that Buyer may, at any time and from time to time, before or after any default by Seller pursuant to the Agreement, without reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder and with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantor: |
A. Waive or delay the exercise of any of its rights or remedies against Seller or any other person or entity, including without limitation, any guarantor guaranteeing payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations; notwithstanding any waiver or delay, Buyer shall
not be precluded from further exercise of any of its rights, powers or privileges expressly provided for herein or otherwise available, it being understood that all such rights and remedies are cumulative;
B. Waive or extend the time of Seller’s or any other guarantor’s performance of any and all terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Agreement;
C. Release Seller or any other person or entity, including without limitation any other guarantor guaranteeing the payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations, from their obligations to repay all or any portion of the Seller Obligations;
Exhibit A-1, Page 2
D. Proceed against Guarantor without first proceeding against or joining Seller or any other guarantor guaranteeing payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations;
E. Modify, amend, increase, or extend any of the Seller Obligations or the terms of the Agreement; and
F. Generally deal with Seller or other person or party as Buyer may see fit.
Guarantor shall remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any such exchange, release, surrender, subordination, waiver (whether or not such waiver is oral or written), delay, proceeding, renewal, extension, modification, act or failure to act, or other dealings or events described in Subsections A through F above, even if
done without notice or consent from Guarantor.
5. |
Waiver of Notice. Guarantor waives all notices whatsoever with respect to the Agreement, this Guaranty, and the Seller Obligations, including, but not limited to, notice of: |
A. Buyer’s acceptance of this Guaranty or its intention to act, or its action, in reliance hereon;
B. Presentment and demand for payment of any Seller Obligations or any portion thereof;
C. Protest and notice of dishonor or non-payment with respect to any Seller Obligations or any portion thereof;
D. Any default by Seller or any pledgor, grantor of security, or any other guarantor guaranteeing the payment of any portion of the Seller Obligations;
E. Any modification, amendment, increase, or extension of any Seller Obligations or the terms of the Agreement;
F. Any other notices to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled; and
G. Any demand for payment under this Guaranty.
6. |
Primary Liability of Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Buyer without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to require Buyer to proceed against Seller or any other guarantor or to require Buyer to pursue any other remedy
or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the Seller Obligations against the Seller or any other guarantor, unless and until all of the Seller Obligations have been paid in full to Buyer or otherwise satisfied to Buyer’s satisfaction. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer from exercising any other rights
available to it under the Agreement or any instrument of security if the Seller fails to timely perform the obligations of Seller thereunder, and the exercise of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any
remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Seller or any other guarantor or by reason of Seller’s or any other guarantor’s bankruptcy, insolvency, death, or dissolution. |
Exhibit A-1, Page 3
7. |
Subrogation Rights. Guarantor irrevocably waives any present or future right to which Guarantor is or becomes entitled to be subrogated to Buyer’s rights against Seller or to seek contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, or the like from Seller on account of this Guaranty or to assert any other claim or right of action against
Seller on account of, arising under, or relating to this Guaranty. |
8. |
Cost of Enforcement. In the event that the Seller Obligations or this Guaranty are not paid when due, or should it be necessary for Buyer to enforce any other of its rights under the Agreement or this Guaranty, Guarantor will pay to Buyer, in addition to payment of all Seller Obligations, all costs of collection or enforcement, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, legal assistants’ fees, costs and expenses, whether incurred with respect to collection, litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, interpretation, dispute, negotiation, trial, appeal, defense of actions instituted by a third party against Buyer arising out of or related to the Agreement, enforcement of any judgment based on this Guaranty, or otherwise, whether or not a suit to collect such amounts or to enforce such rights is brought or, if brought, is
prosecuted to judgment. |
9. |
Term of Guaranty; Warranties. Notwithstanding any statute of limitations applicable hereto, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until all outstanding Seller Obligations are fully paid, and all obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement and Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty are performed and discharged. This
Guaranty covers the Seller Obligations whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. Guarantor warrants and represents to Buyer, (i) that this Guaranty is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor, its successors and assigns in accordance with its terms, (ii) that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty does not violate any applicable laws or constitute a breach of any agreement to which Guarantor is a party, and (iii) that except as may have been specifically disclosed
to Buyer in writing, there is no litigation, claim, action or proceeding pending, or, to the best knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against Guarantor which would adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or its ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder. Guarantor agrees to promptly inform Buyer of the adverse determination of any litigation, claim, action or proceeding or the institution of any litigation, claim, action or proceeding against Guarantor which does or could adversely affect
the financial condition of Guarantor or its ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder. |
10. |
Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Seller to Buyer by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or reduced hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not existed and
Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be in any manner impaired or reduced thereby. |
Exhibit A-1, Page 4
11. |

This section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand herein provided or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon Guarantor in any situation or for any reason.
16. |
Conflict of Law. This Guaranty shall be construed, interpreted, enforced and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. |
17. |
Submission to Jurisdiction. Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty may be brought, at the option of Buyer, in a court of competent jurisdiction in Manatee County, Florida or any United States District Court having jurisdiction in Manatee
County, Florida; (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and (c) waives any and all personal rights under the laws of any state to object to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in Manatee County, Florida. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent Buyer from bringing an action or exercising any rights against any security or against Guarantor personally, and against any property of Guarantor, within any other state or
jurisdiction. Initiating such proceeding or taking such action in any other state shall in no event constitute a waiver of the agreement contained herein that the law of the State of Florida shall govern the rights and obligations of Guarantor and Buyer hereunder or of the submission herein made by Guarantor to personal jurisdiction within the State of Florida. The aforesaid means of obtaining personal jurisdiction are not intended to be exclusive but are cumulative and in addition to all
other means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process now or hereafter provided by the law of the State of Florida. |
Exhibit A-1, Page 6
18. |
Oral Modification Ineffective. Any amendment to or modification of this Guaranty, and any waiver of any provision hereof, shall be in writing and shall require the prior written approval of the Buyer as evidenced by the handwritten, non-electronic signature of the Buyer affixed by the Buyer to a paper document. This Guaranty shall
be irrevocable by Guarantor until all outstanding Seller Obligations are fully paid, and all obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement are performed and discharged, at which time Buyer will terminate this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect unless and until discharged or released by Buyer pursuant to a written instrument properly executed by the Buyer. |
19. |
Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and both of which, when taken together, shall be constituted one Guaranty. |
20. |
Mandatory Arbitration. Any controversy or claim between or among the parties hereto including but not limited to those arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any related agreements or instruments, including any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal
Arbitration Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state law) and the “Special Rules” set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any party to this Guaranty may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this agreement applies in any court having jurisdiction over
such action. |
H. Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Bradenton, Florida, and administered by the American Arbitration Association. All arbitration hearings will be commenced within
ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration; further, the arbitrator shall only, upon a showing of cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days.
I. Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Guaranty shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation or repose and any waivers contained
in this Guaranty; or (ii) limit the right of the Buyer hereto (a) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (b) to foreclose against any real or personal property collateral, or (c) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver. The Buyer may exercise such self help rights, foreclose upon such property, or obtain such provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency
of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Guaranty. Neither this exercise of self help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the controversy or claim occasioning resort to such remedies.
