Payments. All payments to be made by Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds, at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, or such other location designated by Lender in writing, and shall be accompanied by a notice from Guarantor stating that such payments are made under this Guaranty.

Subsequent Acts by Lender. Lender may, in its sole discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any action which might otherwise be deemed a legal or equitable release or discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder without either impairing or affecting the liability of Guarantor for payment of the Guaranty Obligations, which actions might include, by way of illustration and not limitation:

at any time or from time to time, the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived by Lender;

the acceptance of partial payment of the Guaranty Obligations;

any of the acts permitted in the Loan Documents may be performed;

the Loan Documents may from time to time be amended and/or renewed by Borrower and Lender for the purpose of adding any provisions thereto or changing in any manner the rights of Lender or of Borrower thereunder;

the maturity of the Note may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or any future agreement between Borrower and Lender or the holder of such Note;

Certain Rights, Subordination, Etc.

Lender may pursue its rights and remedies under this Guaranty and shall be entitled to payment hereunder notwithstanding any other guaranty of all or any part of the Guaranty Obligations, and notwithstanding any action taken by Lender to enforce any of its rights or remedies under such other guaranty, or any payment received thereunder (but in no event shall Lender collect more than the aggregate amount of the Guaranty Obligations).

Any obligation or debt of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Guaranty Obligations and Guarantor shall not enforce or collect any such indebtedness from Borrower. Nevertheless, upon request by Lender, Guarantor shall collect, enforce and receive such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor. Any sums collected at Lender’s request or collected in contravention of the prohibition set forth herein shall be held by Guarantor as trustee for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Guaranty Obligations; provided, however, that such payments shall not impair, reduce or affect in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

Guarantor agrees that if any event of default exists under the Loan Documents (“Event of Default”) and is continuing, (i) such Guarantor shall not accept payment from any other guarantor of any Guaranty Obligations by way of contribution or similar rights on account of any payment made hereunder by Guarantor to Lender, all of which rights are hereby subordinated to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder to Lender, (ii) Guarantor will not take any action to exercise or enforce any rights to such contribution, and (iii) if Guarantor should receive payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received, endorsed or signed as may be appropriate for application on account of or as security for the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and, until so delivered, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.

In the event of any default by Borrower with respect to the Guaranty Obligations, Guarantor agrees to pay or perform on demand (either oral or written) the Guaranty Obligations. Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure or be required to liquidate any security or lien provided by the Mortgage or other such collateral held by Lender prior to making such demand.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases any and all “claims” (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq., and the regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”)) it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, and shall not be entitled to, and hereby expressly waives, any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration and contribution against Borrower, which Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Borrower without regard to whether any such right or claim arises expressly; provided, that such waiver and release shall not be effective as to any such claim or entitlement or such subrogation and other rights that accrue after the indefeasible payment, performance or other satisfaction in full of the Guaranty Obligations.

Guaranty is a Continuing Obligation. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, and shall remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, until all of the Guaranty Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, irrespective of the bankruptcy, insolvency, merger, reorganization, termination, discontinuation or dissolution of the Borrower or any assignment for the benefit of creditors by the Borrower. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall apply to and continue with respect to any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents which are subsequently recovered from the Lender for the reasons set forth below. In the event that any payment by or on the behalf of the Borrower to Lender is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason the Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, including, without limitation, as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or of any substantial part of its property or otherwise, such payment by the Borrower or any other party to the Lender shall not constitute a release of the Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by the Lender of this Guaranty or of the Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by the Lender or paid by the Lender to another party (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranty Obligations), and any interest paid by the Lender and any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Lender in connection with any such event. It is the intent of the Guarantor and the Lender that the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranty Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed, and not subject to refund or disgorgement, the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a guarantor. The Lender shall be entitled to continue to hold this Guaranty in its possession for a period of one year from the later of (a) the date the Guaranty Obligations are paid and performed in full, or (b) if not paid in accordance with the Guaranty Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Loan, and for so long thereafter as may be necessary to enforce any obligation of the Guarantor hereunder and/or to exercise any right or remedy of the Lender hereunder.

[Intentionally Deleted.]

Waiver and Release of Subrogation and Participation. Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation in or under the Guaranty Obligations, and no rights of reimbursement, indemnity or contribution from the Borrower or any other rights by law, equity, statute or contract that would give rise to a creditor-debtor relationship between Guarantor and the Borrower. Guarantor shall have no right to participate in any way in any of the collateral which is conveyed under the Loan Documents as security for the Guaranty Obligations. Guarantor hereby explicitly waives and

releases any of the above-described rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, contribution, participation, and any right to require the marshalling of Borrower’s assets under any circumstances.

Continuing Validity. Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or against the owner of the premises covered by the Mortgage, (b) by reason of any failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby, (c) by reason of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, or (d) by reason of any payment made on the Guaranty Obligations or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other person, which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law; it being understood that no payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Guaranty Obligations, nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder. It is further understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the Guaranty Obligations due and payable on the happening of any default or event by which under the terms of the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, the Guaranty Obligations shall become due and payable, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless, declare the Guaranty Obligations due and payable and enforce any or all of its rights and remedies against Guarantor provided for herein.

No Waiver by Lender; Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender or the holder of the Note to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Guarantor hereby agrees that all rights and remedies that Lender is afforded by reason of this Guaranty are separate and cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently, as Lender deems advisable.

Failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and covenants hereof or to exercise any right herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to demand strict performance at another time. Receipt by Lender of any payment or performance on the Guaranty Obligations shall not be deemed a waiver of the breach of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees that in any action by Lender by reason of the Guaranty Obligations, Lender, at its election, may proceed (a) against Guarantor together with Borrower, (b) against Guarantor and Borrower, individually, or (c) against Guarantor only without having commenced any action against, or having obtained any judgment against, Borrower.
