GUARANTY OF LOAN OBLIGATIONS
Section 2.01 Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, prepayment, acceleration, demand, or otherwise of all Borrower’s obligations and liabilities (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) for which Borrower is or shall become personally liable pursuant to the Note, Security Instrument, and other Loan Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
Section 2.02 Continuing Obligation. This Guaranty is a continuing obligation and shall remain in full force and effect and shall only be discharged if and when the Loan has been paid in full and all obligations thereunder have been fully performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be returned by Lender to Borrower, Guarantor, or to any guarantor, trustee, receiver, or other representative of any of them. If any Person constituting Guarantor shall be a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue after such Person’s death, in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s heirs, estate, and legal representatives.
Section 2.03 Guaranty of Payment and Performance. This is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and is not a guaranty of collection. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor. Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that Lender has the right to require Guarantor to pay, comply, and satisfy its obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty and that Lender shall have the right to proceed immediately against Guarantor directly without being required to recover payment or performance first from Borrower or any other party, and Lender shall not be required to first sue on the Note, demonstrate that the collateral securing the Loan is inadequate security, or demonstrate that Lender has exercised or exhausted (to any degree) Xxxxxx’s other rights and remedies in respect of the Loan.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and may be exercised independently, concurrently, or successively in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise.
(b) No Waiver. Lender’s delay or failure to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Loan shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy; and no partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude further exercise thereof.
(c) No Right to Notice Imputed. Notice or demand given to Borrower in any instance shall not entitle Borrower to notice or demand in any other circumstance (whether similar or not) nor constitute a waiver by Lender of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand unless notice is expressly required by this Guaranty.

(d) Xxxxxx’s Discretionary Rights. Lender may release security for the Loan or any party liable therefor, may grant extensions, renewals, or forbearances with respect to the Loan and may accept partial or past due payments, grant indulgences, or apply security held to the payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to Xxxxxx’s rights under this Guaranty and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or reinstatement of the Loan.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby waives any and all claims against Lender on any theory of liability and waives all damages, including, without limitation special, indirect, consequential, and punitive damages arising out of, or in connection with, this Guaranty, any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g) Waiver of Creditor’s Rights Under Debtor Relief Laws. Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to be deemed a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower, or any other guarantor or indemnitor by reason of the existence of this Guaranty.

Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising out of such election by Xxxxxx even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any other loan party or any collateral, including Xxxxxx’s failure to obtain a judicial confirmation of any nonjudicial power of sale pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 00-00-000, or otherwise. Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that if Lender forecloses on any collateral for the Loan, then: (i) the amount of the Secured Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; (ii) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower; and (iii) Lender shall not be restricted or prohibited from recovering a deficiency judgment after any foreclosure sale and shall not be restricted from pursuing a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any loan party prior to any foreclosure sale.

Section 3.06 Consequences of Borrower’s Bankruptcy.
(a) Direct Enforcement Against Guarantor. If Borrower shall be subject to the protection of the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Laws having the effect of preventing or delaying Lender from taking enforcement action against Borrower, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless declare the Loan due and payable and enforce all Lender’s rights and remedies against Guarantor as provided herein.
(b) Reinstatement Upon Preference or Fraudulent Transfers. If any payment made on the Loan, whether made by Borrower, any other guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, or any other Person, is required to be refunded or recovered from Lender as a preference or a fraudulent transfer or is otherwise set aside pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, then such payment shall not be considered made under this Guaranty and Guarantor’s liability shall continue with respect to any such payment and the obligation shall be deemed reinstated with the same effect as if such payment had not been made.
Section 3.07 Guarantor Claims.
(a) No Enforcement Action Permitted. Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx agrees not to exercise or enforce any Guarantor Claims, nor foreclose, repossess, sequester, or institute any action or proceedings under Debtor Relief Laws (judicial or otherwise) to enforce any rights, judgments, liens, or security interests on assets owned by Borrower or any other guarantor or indemnitor. As used in this Guaranty, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities now or hereafter owed to Guarantor by Borrower, or by any guarantor, indemnitor, or other party to the Loan, without regard to whether such debts and liabilities are direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or regardless of whether they are evidenced by note, or other instrument. Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower or any other party to the Loan as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, including rights and claims arising by subrogation or otherwise.
(b) Subordination of Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby subordinates to the lien and security interests created under the Loan Documents (including Xxxxxx’s right to payment of the Debt and Guaranteed Obligations) all claims and rights of payment, now existing or hereafter arising, that Guarantor may have against Borrower. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to enforce any such rights or claims or receive any payment therefor until the Debt and all Guaranteed Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full to Lender.
8 |
(c) Forbearance of Guarantor’s Right of Subrogation. Guarantor hereby expressly forbears any right of recourse to or any claim or judgment against Borrower or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Loan until ninety-one days after the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or any other guarantor or indemnitor prior to ninety-one days after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall immediately paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. If the deferral of such rights shall be unenforceable for any reason, Xxxxxxxxx agrees that its rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to Xxxxxx’s rights and its rights of contribution against any other guarantor or indemnitor shall be junior and subordinate to Xxxxxx’s rights against each other guarantor and indemnitor.
(d) Xxxxxx’s Rights to Bankruptcy Claims. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law involving Borrower, or any other guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding and receive directly from the receiver, trustee, or other court custodian all amounts which would otherwise be payable in connection with Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns all such amounts to Lender. If Lender applies such amounts to the Guaranteed Obligations, any such payment owed Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower or any other party and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon Guarantor Claims, then upon indefeasible payment in full to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments have been applied toward the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if such amounts had not applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3.08 Trust Provisions. If Guarantor receives any funds, payments, claims, or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty or payable to Lender pursuant to this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold such amounts in trust for Lender. Guarantor shall have no right of ownership over such amounts except to pay such amount promptly to Lender. Guarantor covenants to pay all amounts in trust to Lender within 10 Business Days after Guarantor’s receipt thereof.
Section 3.09 Xxxxxx’s Right to Deficiency Judgment. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that if Xxxxxx forecloses the Loan, Lender shall be entitled to pursue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a deficiency judgment on the Note after any foreclosure sale.
Section 3.10 Application of Loan Payments. Without limiting any other provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent Lender receives any amounts owed under any Loan Documents including, without limitation, any voluntary payments or prepayments by Borrower of principal and interest, insurance or condemnation proceeds, or proceeds from the sale at foreclosure of any collateral given to secure the Loan, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, such amounts need not be applied to or credited against the Guaranteed Obligations, but instead, may be applied by Lender to any portions of the Debt in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
Section 3.11 Transfer by Xxxxxx. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx, without notice to or consent by Guarantor, may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder in connection with any sale of the Loan to any party, including without limitation, to loan servicers, and each such assignee shall be entitled to exercise all of Xxxxxx’s rights and remedies hereunder. Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that Lender may, in its sole discretion, provide any information which Lender has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, or Guarantor to third parties having a present or prospective interest in the administration, enforcement, ownership, purchase, or participation of the Loan.

Any provision of this Guaranty which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or government body to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal shall be ineffective only to the extent of such determination. Such determination shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or legality of any other provision, nor shall such determination apply in any circumstance or to any party not controlled by the determination of such court or government body.
Section 6.04 Duplicate Original; Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile or in electronic (that is, “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty. The acknowledgment of any Guarantor (if more than one) is not required as a condition to the binding effect of this Guaranty on any Guarantor whose signature is affixed to this Guaranty or any counterpart thereof.
Section 6.05 Construction of Terms. Defined terms used in this Guaranty may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form, and pronouns shall be construed to cover all genders. Article and section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting the meaning of the provisions set forth in this Guaranty. The words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph, or subdivision. The word “section” refers to the entire section and not to any particular subsection paragraph, or subdivision of that section. The term “Guaranty” and each of the Loan Documents referred to herein means the agreement as executed, and if applicable, as modified. The term “including” shall not infer limitation. This Guaranty shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule that disfavors the drafting party when construing or interpreting legal agreements.
Section 6.06 Governing Law. This Guaranty and any claim, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract, equity, tort, or contract) based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.
Section 6.07 Submission to Jurisdiction.

Guarantor shall submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit, or proceeding. Final judgment against Guarantor in any action, suit, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment. Nothing in this Section shall affect or impair Xxxxxx’s right to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or Lender’s right to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor or Guarantor’s property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.]
