NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1. Guaranty of Obligations.
(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and Agent, and their successors and assigns, that Borrower shall commence, construct, develop and complete the Project through Final Completion, in a good and workmanlike manner and in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and Project Scope in all material respects (the “Required Work”).
For avoidance of doubt, (x) all references to the “Plans and Specifications” herein shall include all revisions and modifications thereto that are made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (y) all references to the “Final Completion Date” shall include any extensions thereof provided for under the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Other Loan Documents.
Furthermore, Guarantor shall:
(i) cause to be commenced, performed, constructed, erected, installed and fully completed, the Required Work, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and the Legal Requirements, free and clear of any and all Liens (excluding any Liens created by or permitted under the Loan Documents), in accordance with the Plans and Specifications in all material respects, and in all events on or before the Final Completion Date, time being of the essence (collectively, the “Guaranteed Work”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor guarantees that with respect to such Guaranteed Work: (A) performance of the Guaranteed Work shall commence and be completed within the time limits set forth in the Loan Agreement and the Construction Schedule (including all extensions thereof provided for in the Loan Agreement), provided that if the Required Work is not complete by the Final Completion Date, Guarantor shall continue to complete the Required Work as soon as commercially possible; (B) the Guaranteed Work shall be performed and completed in accordance with the Loan Documents and the Plans and Specifications and Project Scope (in all material respects), without material deviation therefrom unless approved by Agent in writing; (C) all costs and expenses of performing the Guaranteed Work shall be paid as and when properly due and payable, including without limitation, all claims and demands for labor, materials, supplies and/or services incurred or used to construct and complete the Guaranteed Work; and (D) all Carry Costs of the Property through Final Completion;
(ii) until Final Completion, except as otherwise permitted or provided for under the Loan Agreement, cause the Property to be free and clear of any Liens of any nature connected with or arising from the performance and completion of the Guaranteed Work (excluding any Liens created by the Loan Documents or arising solely from the operation of the Property and not otherwise attributable to the performance of the Guaranteed Work), whether equal or prior in lien or other priority or subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage, and fully reimburse Lender, Agent and their Affiliates for any and all sums expended or incurred by any of Lender, Agent, Construction Consultant or Servicer in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement to pay or discharge any Liens entered or filed against the Property, including, without limitation, any and all out-of-pocket costs, damages, expenses and attorneys’ fees that any such Person may suffer or incur by reason thereof;
(iii) fully reimburse Lender, Agent, Construction Consultant and/or Servicer for any and all amounts expended or incurred by Lender, Agent, Construction Consultant and/or Servicer for or toward the performance and completion of the Guaranteed Work that are incurred or undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, following any notice to Borrower or Guarantor that is required thereunder, (including, without limitation, any and all amounts expended or incurred by Lender, Agent or Construction Consultant to engage and contract with a general contractor or subcontractors to complete the Guaranteed Work) as a result of the failure by Borrower or Guarantor to prosecute the Guaranteed Work diligently and complete the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (hereafter, the “Guaranteed Amounts”);
(iv) fully indemnify, defend and hold Lender, Agent, Construction Consultant and Servicer harmless from and against any and all out-of-pocket costs, claims, actions, causes of action, losses, liabilities or expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs and damages arising out of a judgment against Lender, Agent or the Project as a result of any delay in completion of the Guaranteed Work, in each case, related to or resulting or arising from any failure by Borrower or Guarantor (1) to diligently prosecute the construction of the Guaranteed Work in accordance with the requirements of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (2) to fully perform and complete the Guaranteed Work as and when required under the Loan Documents (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); and
(v) with respect to Sunrise Guarantor only, deposit funds into the Completion Guarantor Cash Collateral Account as required by Section 7.8 of the Loan Agreement.
The liabilities of Guarantor under this Section 1.1 shall not be limited by the amount of the Loan, but shall be determined, solely by the cost of performance and completion of the Guaranteed Work and the performance of the other undertakings set forth in this Section 1.1.
(b) If Guarantor undertakes to complete the Guaranteed Work as provided above, Guarantor shall comply with all of the requirements of the Loan Documents relating to the Guaranteed Work, provided that Advances are made available to Guarantor in accordance with Section 1.11 hereof. If Guarantor fails to comply with such requirements of the Loan Documents relating to the Guaranteed Work, and then if Lender or Agent following such failure exercises its right under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to take possession of the Property and complete the Required Work, the provisions of Section 1.1(c) of this Guaranty shall apply; any Guaranteed Amounts expended or Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender and not reimbursed within five (5) days of written demand to Guarantor shall accrue interest at the Default Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(b) above, if Lender or Agent exercises its right under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to take possession of the Property and complete the Required Work upon Guarantor’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 1.1(a)(i) above following written notice to Guarantor under Section 1.2 hereof, Guarantor shall, thereafter, no longer have the right to complete the Required Work, but shall remain liable for all other obligations under this Guaranty.
(d) Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it shall remain liable for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder regardless of any funding for the Project contributed by Borrower (including the Required Equity or any Borrower Funds). Guarantor hereby consents to Lender’s application of payments of any kind, including through the proceeds of the realization on collateral, to any of the foregoing fees, costs or expenses, or interest or principal, in such order as Lender may elect, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, it being the understanding and agreement of Guarantor that Lender shall be entitled to apply such proceeds in any manner permitted or provided for under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(e) The payment, compliance and performance obligations guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to this Section 1.1 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Completion Obligations”.
Section 1.2. Remedies. If Guarantor fails to promptly perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty, Lender and Agent shall have the following remedies, together with any other remedies under this Guaranty or at law or in equity:
(a) At Agent’s option, following the failure of Guarantor to commence diligently, timely and continuously performing any of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations within ten (10) Business Days after written notice by Agent demanding same, Agent may, in its sole discretion, proceed to perform on behalf of Guarantor any or all the Guaranteed Completion Obligations hereunder and Guarantor shall thereafter, within five (5) days after Agent’s written demand, and whether or not such Guaranteed Completion Obligations are actually completed by Agent, pay to Agent all Guaranteed Amounts expended or incurred by Lender, Agent, Servicer and/or Construction Consultant in performing the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, together with interest on such sum at the Default Rate if such sums are not paid by the fifth (5th) day after Agent’s written demand therefor; and
(b) From time to time following (i) an Event of Default on the part of Borrower under the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, (ii) a failure of Guarantor within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to commence and thereafter diligently, timely and continuously perform any of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, and (iii) failure of Guarantor to pay amounts payable from Guarantor under Section 1.2(a) above within five (5) days of Agent’s written demand, and without first requiring performance by Borrower or exhausting any or all security for the Loan, to bring any action at law or in equity or both to compel Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, and to collect in any such action compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense sustained or incurred by Lender, Agent, Construction Consultant or their Affiliates as a direct or indirect consequence of the failure of Guarantor to perform the Guaranteed Completion Obligations together with interest thereon at Default Rate.
Section 1.3. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unlimited in amount and primary, irrevocable, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon pursuit by Lender or Agent of any remedies it may have against Borrower under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any remedies it might have against any other Person; provided, however, that such obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations together with other amounts specifically recoverable hereunder. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Completion Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor. The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Completion Obligations may be increased or reduced or otherwise modified in any manner or to any extent shall not release, diminish or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender and Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Completion Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Agent (on behalf of Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note) and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or any part of the Loan.
Section 1.4. Guaranteed Completion Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Completion Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender and Agent hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, Guarantor) against Lender and Agent or against payment of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Completion Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Completion Obligations) or otherwise other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations. Lender’s and Agent’s rights under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights of Lender and Agent under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. FURTHER, PAYMENTS MADE BY GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTY SHALL NOT REDUCE IN ANY RESPECT BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE NOTE, THE MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO, AND TO THE EXTENT OF, BORROWER’S OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY FOR THE PAYMENT MADE BY GUARANTOR.
Section 1.5. Payment By Guarantor. If any payment required to be made by Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Completion Obligations shall not be immediately paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender or Agent and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Completion Obligations to Lender or Agent at Lender’s or Agent’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Completion Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.6. No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender or Agent (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender or Agent), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Completion Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s and Agent’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s and Agent’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Completion Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender and Agent against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations. Neither Lender nor Agent shall be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Completion Obligations.
Section 1.7. Waivers.
(a) Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and with respect thereto hereby waives notice (to the extent such notice is not otherwise expressly required pursuant to the terms of one of the other Loan Documents) of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any
amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower, Agent and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s or Agent’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender or Agent and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.
(b) Guarantor hereby expressly waives and releases all claims, objections and defenses it may have as a potential surety for Borrower and agrees not to assert any such matters in opposition to the enforcement of Agent’s or Lender’s rights under this Guaranty.
Section 1.8. Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand by Lender or Agent, pay Lender or Agent all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable court costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender or Agent in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s and Agent’s rights hereunder, and if not paid within 5 days of such written demand, Guarantor shall pay interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date of the written demand of Lender or Agent until such expenses are paid to Agent; provided, however, if an Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing on the date such expenses are incurred by Agent, such interest shall accrue from and after the date such expenses are incurred until such expenses are paid to Agent. The covenants contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations.
Section 1.9. Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, (a) Lender or Agent must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender or Agent in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender or Agent shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect, and (b) notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, (i) all amounts then or thereafter payable hereunder shall be and remain immediately due and payable and (ii) Guarantor hereby waives all demands and notices of every kind. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender and Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender or Agent may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender and Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 1.11. Advances of Loan to Guarantor.
(a) If, prior to Final Completion of the Project, no Guarantor Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent and Lender may, in their sole discretion, agree to make further Advances of the Loan to Guarantor under, in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement

(b) With respect to each such Advance:
(i) Guarantor shall acknowledge that the agreement by Lender to make such further Advances to Guarantor pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall not prejudice or impair the right of Lender to demand performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, to declare Defaults or Events of Default under the Loan Documents, to exercise any rights and remedies thereunder or be deemed to be a waiver, estoppel, acceptance of course of conduct or forbearance by Lender under such Loan Documents;
(ii) no Event of Default shall exist under Sections 8.1(a) (vi), (vii), (ix) or (xi) of the Loan Agreement (subject to the provisos in such Section),
(iii) there shall exist no other Event of Default under the Loan Agreement that is susceptible of being cured by Borrower or Guarantor on Borrower’s behalf (except to the extent that (a) an Event of Default otherwise exists solely as a result of Guarantor’s failure to pay certain sums required to be paid pursuant to the Loan Agreement, (b) such Event of Default would be cured if Lender advanced funds to Guarantor to make such payment, and (c) Guarantor has otherwise satisfied all conditions hereunder to the making of such Advance);

ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1. Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been, or may hereafter be, acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Guarantor Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2. Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Agent and Lender shall have the right to prove their claim in any such 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, distributions and payments to Agent (for the benefit of Lender). Should Agent or Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon the ninety-first (91st) day after irrevocable payment to Agent (for the benefit of Lender) in full of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Agent or Lender, as applicable, to the extent that such payments to Agent or Lender, as applicable, on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Completion Obligations which would have been unpaid if Agent or Lender, as applicable, had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3. Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, though except as provided in Section 4.1 above,, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Agent and Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Agent, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Agent.
Section 4.4. Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Loan and the Guaranteed Completion Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor, Agent or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Agent, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor. The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower granting liens or security interests in any of its assets to any Person other than Agent or Lender.
