The Guaranty
2.1 Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees:
(a) The prompt payment of each installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent (all as defined in the Lease) when and as the same become due under the terms of the Lease;
(b) The prompt payment of all other rent (as defined in the Lease) payable by Lessee to Lessor or any other person under the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation, tax and any other deposits required under the terms of the Lease and damages due to default by Lessee under the Lease; and the Lease;
(c) The full and timely performance of each and every other obligation of Lessee under for which Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with Lessee and each other guarantor (the items described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantee Obligations”).
2.2 Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally, covenants and agrees that, in the event that Lessee is unable to, or does not, pay, perform or satisfy any of the obligations or liabilities of Lessee under the Lease (the “Lessee’s Liabilities”) in a full and timely manner, for any reason, including, without limitation, the liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of Lessee, or the disaffirmance or termination of any of the Lessee’s Liabilities in or as a result of any such proceedings, Guarantor shall pay, perform or satisfy the Lessee’s Liabilities and that no such occurrence shall in any way reduce or affect the Guarantee Obligations hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default in the prompt payment, timely performance and satisfaction in full of Lessee’s Liabilities, all of the Guarantee Obligations shall, at the election of Lessor, become immediately due and payable.
2.3 Guarantor shall be directly and primarily liable with Lessee, for all of the Lessee’s Liabilities. Lessor’s rights under this Guaranty shall be exercisable by action against Guarantor individually or joined with any action against Lessee or any other guarantor. Lessor need not proceed against Lessee or any other guarantor or resort to any property or other security held by Lessor as security for Lessee’s Liabilities or exhaust its remedies against Lessee or exercise any of the other remedies available to Lessor under the Lease, prior to, concurrently with or after proceeding against Guarantor individually to collect the full amount of the Guarantee Obligations hereunder. In the event that Lessor may have collected all or any part of Lessee’s Liabilities and a claim for repayment of all or any part thereof is made against Lessor, the liability of Guarantor hereunder as to the amount so collected but subject to such claim shall not be discharged or affected and shall be reinstated as to such amount.
This Guaranty is absolute, independent and continuing under all circumstances, and is a guaranty of payment and performance, not of collection.
