Fund Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Borrower"), pursuant to
a certain Loan Agreement, as of even date herewith, between Lender and Borrower
(as the same may be amended, supplemented, extended, modified, restated or
replaced from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), which Loan is or will be (a)
evidenced by the Note made by Borrower to the order of Lender in the original
principal amount of the Loan and (b) secured by, inter alia, the Mortgage
granted by Borrower in favor of Lender encumbering the Premises (as each of such
capitalized terms is defined in the Loan Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower and
will, therefore, derive material direct and indirect economic and other benefits

the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and all other Loan Documents (as
defined in the Loan Agreement); and
WHEREAS, to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor has
agreed to enter into this Guaranty, Guarantor acknowledging that, without this
Guaranty, Lender would be unwilling to make the Loan.

amount to Borrower, such other Person or any other Person; or
5
(xxv) any other action taken or omitted to be taken
with respect to the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral or other

therein to any assignees or participants;
whether occurring before or after any default by Borrower or any other Person

being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor
shall be obligated to pay and/or perform the Obligations as provided in Section
2 hereof, if not punctually paid and/or performed when due (subject to
applicable grace periods, if any), notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance,
event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated,
and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation
shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final indefeasible payment and
satisfaction of the Obligations.
(d) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall
continue with respect to, any Guaranty Obligation (or portion thereof) arising
out of any Obligation at any time paid by Borrower or any other Person which
shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or such other Person, or
for any other reason, all as though such Obligation (or portion thereof) had not
been so paid or applied.
4. Irrevocable Guaranty; Payment. Guarantor's Guaranty Obligations
pursuant to Section 2 hereof are continuing and irrevocable under any and all
circumstances whatsoever. If all or any part of the Obligations shall not be
punctually paid and/or performed when due, whether at demand, maturity,
acceleration or otherwise (subject to applicable grace periods, if any),
Guarantor shall immediately upon demand by Lender, 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, pay the amount due on, and/or perform, the Obligations to
Lender. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time
for payment and/or performance of all or part of the Obligations (subject to
applicable grace periods, if any), and may be made from time to time with
respect to the same or different items of Obligations. Such demand shall be
deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
5. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a
guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee and indemnity of
collection. Lender may enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor for payment of
any amounts due under or performance of any of the Guaranty Obligations as they
become due and without first making demand or instituting collection or other
proceedings against Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any
other Person liable for any of the Obligations. Guarantor's liability for the
Guaranty Obligations is hereby declared by mutual agreement to be primary, and
not secondary.

this Guaranty, Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts and performance
of all Obligations which constitute part of the Guaranty Obligations and would
be owed or be required to be performed by Borrower or any other Person under the
Loan or any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving Borrower or any other Person, including, without
10
limitation, the accrual of post-petition interest which may otherwise be limited
by Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision thereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, neither Guarantor's obligation to perform or to make
payment in accordance with this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement
thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, stayed, released or limited in any
manner by any impairment, modification, change, release, limitation or stay of
the liability of Borrower or any other Person or its estate in bankruptcy or any
remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present
or future provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision
of any court interpreting any of the same.
12. Currency of Payments. Any and all amounts required to be paid by
Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds to Lender. Guarantor agrees that
whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to Lender
on account of its liability hereunder, it shall notify Lender in writing that
such payment is made under this Guaranty for that purpose.
13. Waiver of Rights Against Borrower; Subordination.
(a) Until all of the Obligations are paid in full to Lender
and/or performed, Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation and any
other claims that Guarantor (or any of them) may now have or hereafter acquire
against either Borrower or any insider (as such term is used in Section
547(b)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code (an "Insider")) that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Guarantor's obligations under
this Guaranty or any other documents executed in connection herewith
(collectively, the "Guaranty Documents"), including, without limitation, any
right of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against either Borrower or
any Insider, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or
under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right
to take or receive from either Borrower or any Insider, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim, remedy or right until all Obligations are
indefeasibly paid and/or performed in full for a period of three hundred sixty
six (366) days.
(b) If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor in violation of
clause (a) immediately above, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit
of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to
all amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the Guaranty Documents, or
to be held as collateral for any amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter
arising. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has and will receive substantial
direct and indirect benefits from the borrowing of the Loan and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Guaranty
Documents and that the waiver set forth in clause (a) immediately above is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
11
(c) As used herein, the term "Guarantor Claims" means all
debts and liabilities of Borrower or any Insider to Guarantor, whether such
debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether
such obligations of Borrower or any Insider 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 or 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 Guaranty Obligations. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of an event which would,
with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event
of Default, and as to which notice has been given by Lender, where required to
be so given under the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall not receive or collect,
directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the
Guarantor Claims.
(d) In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving
Guarantor, as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its 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 the Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such
dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application upon
the Guaranty Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise
payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower or any Insider and
Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon
payment to Lender and performance in full of the Obligations, Guarantor shall
become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to
Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the
Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of
the Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received
dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
(e) In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or
distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in
trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or
distributions so received, and agrees that Guarantor shall have absolutely no
dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so
received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly
to pay the same to Lender.
(f) Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests,
judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower's or any Insider'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 or any Insider's assets securing payment of the
Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or
Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior
written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any
creditor's right it may have against Borrower or any Insider or (ii) foreclose,
12
repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or
proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
commencement of, or 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 assets of Borrower or any Insider held by Guarantor.
14. Amendment in Writing. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given.
15. Statute of Limitation. Guarantor acknowledges that the statute of
limitation applicable to this Guaranty shall begin to run only upon Lender's
accrual of a cause of action against Guarantor caused by failure of Guarantor to
honor a demand for payment or performance hereunder made by Lender in writing;
provided, however, that if, subsequent to the demand upon Guarantor, Lender
reaches an agreement with Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person on any terms
causing Lender to forbear in the enforcement of its demand upon Guarantor, the
statute of limitation shall be reinstated and shall run for its full duration
from such time that Lender subsequently makes demand upon Guarantor.
16. Jurisdiction, Venue, Service of Process. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE BROUGHT, AT LENDER'S OPTION,
IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX XXXXXX OR OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. GUARANTOR HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR
ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY
CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO EITHER (i) GUARANTOR'S ADDRESS SET
FORTH IN THE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH OF THIS GUARANTY OR (ii) GUARANTOR'S ADDRESS
FOR NOTICES SET FORTH IN SECTION 20 HEREOF, WHICH SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED
SUFFICIENT FOR PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE SEVEN (7)
DAYS AFTER MAILING. GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY BROUGHT IN THE
COURTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO
PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN
ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST
GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
13
17. Further Assurances, Etc. Guarantor shall, at its sole cost and
expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed,
acknowledged and delivered all such further acts and assurances as Lender shall
from time to time reasonably require or deem advisable (a) to effectuate the
intent and purposes of this Guaranty and (b) for the better assuring and
confirming of all of Lender's rights, powers and remedies hereunder, provided
that none of the same shall increase, in other than a de minimis fashion, any of
the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty or decrease, in other than a de
minimis fashion, any of the rights of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
18. Remedies. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are
independent of Borrower's or any other Person's obligations under the Note and
the other Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether
any action is brought against Borrower or any other Person or whether Borrower
or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Any one or more
successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor
either in the same action, if any, brought against Borrower or any other Person
or in separate actions, as often as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem
advisable.
19. Certified Statement. Guarantor agrees that it shall, at any time
and from time to time, within ten (10) days following request by Lender, execute
and deliver to Lender a statement certifying that this Guaranty is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or if modified, that the same is in full force and
effect as modified and stating such modifications).

Any party may change the address to which any such notice, demand or
communication is to be delivered by furnishing ten (10) days written notice of
such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 20. Notices, demands and communications shall be deemed to have been
given on the date they are actually received; provided, however, that the
inability to deliver the same because of a changed address of which no notice
was given, or rejection or refusal to accept any notice, demand or communication
offered for delivery, shall be deemed to be receipt as of the date of such
inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept delivery. Notice for
Lender or Guarantor may be given by their respective counsel.
21. Successors and/or Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by Lender and its assignees, participants and affiliates.
Wherever in this Guaranty reference is made to Lender or Borrower, the same
shall be deemed to refer also to the then assignee of Lender or Borrower.
22. Governing Law; Waivers.
(a) This Guaranty was negotiated, executed and delivered in
the State of New York. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the State of New York's principles of conflicts of law, except that it
is the intent and purpose of Lender and Guarantor that the provisions of Section
5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York shall apply to
the Guaranty.
15
(b) GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY LENDER UNDER THIS
GUARANTY ANY AND EVERY RIGHT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO (I) A TRIAL BY JURY, (II)
INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN (EXCEPT FOR ANY COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM
WHICH, IF NOT ASSERTED IN SUCH PROCEEDING, WOULD BE WAIVED) AND (III) HAVE THE
SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
23. Severability. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements,
terms or provisions contained in this Guaranty or the application thereof to any
circumstance or to Guarantor shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect,
the remaining covenants, agreements, terms and provisions contained in this
Guaranty or the application thereof to any circumstances or to Guarantor other
than those as to which any covenant, agreement, term or provision is held
invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected or prejudiced thereby and each
remaining covenant, agreement, term and provision of this Guaranty shall be
valid and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
24. Inapplicability of Nonrecourse Obligations. The Loan Agreement,
Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents may contain provisions which may
limit Lender's remedies against Borrower or any other Person upon a default
(collectively, the "Limited Recourse Provisions"). None of the Limited Recourse
Provisions shall be construed to abrogate or limit the obligations of Guarantor
under this Guaranty.
25. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all
prospectively enacted taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (including, without
limitation, penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) (all such taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being herein
collectively referred to as "Taxes").
(b) Guarantor shall pay any prospectively enacted stamp or
documentary taxes, intangible taxes or any other sales, excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made with respect
to this Guaranty, excepting therefrom income taxes and franchise taxes of Lender
(collectively, "Other Taxes").
(c) If Guarantor shall be required by any prospectively
enacted law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 25) Lender shall
receive an amount equal to the sum Lender would have received had no such
deductions been made;
16
(ii) Guarantor shall make such deductions;
(iii) Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation, or other, authority in accordance with applicable law;
and
(iv) within ten (10) days after the date of such
payment, Guarantor shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing such payment.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
or obligation of Guarantor under this Guaranty, the agreements and obligations
of Guarantor under this Section 25 shall survive so long as any relevant
limitations period with respect to any Tax or Other Tax remains open.
26. Entire Agreement; No Oral Representations Limiting Enforcement,
Loan Agreement, Etc. This Guaranty represents the entire agreement between the
parties concerning the liability of Guarantor for the Guaranty Obligations, and
any oral statements regarding the liability of Guarantor for the Guaranty
Obligations are merged herein. GUARANTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER INTENDS TO RELY
UPON AND TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY AND THAT GUARANTOR MUST NOT RELY UPON OR
BELIEVE THAT LENDER OR ANY TRUSTEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR
REPRESENTATIVE OF LENDER IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION
TO THE CONTRARY. LENDER HEREBY DISAVOWS ANY SUCH STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION BY
ANY PERSON. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES LENDER'S
INTENTION TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE AND GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDER HAS MADE NO ORAL STATEMENTS TO GUARANTOR THAT COULD BE
CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF LENDER'S RIGHT TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY BY ALL
AVAILABLE LEGAL MEANS. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has read the Loan
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
27. Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided Lender in this Guaranty
are not exclusive of any other remedies that may be available to Lender under
any other document or at law, in equity or otherwise. Guarantor acknowledges and
agrees that it is now, and shall in the future be, impossible to measure
accurately the damages to Lender resulting from a breach of one or more of the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder; that such a breach will cause irreparable
injury to Lender and that Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of
such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that such obligations shall be
specifically enforceable against Guarantor upon which a demand for performance
is made by Lender hereunder; and Guarantor hereby waives and shall not assert
any defense based on the denial of any of the foregoing in an action for
specific performance of any of such covenants.
28. Instrument for Payment of Money Only. Guarantor hereby agrees and
acknowledges that this Guaranty is an instrument for the payment of money only
and hereby consents that Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a default
by Guarantor in the payment of any of the amounts payable by Guarantor
hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion or action under New York CPLR
Section 3213.
17
29. Headings. The captions and headings of the various sections of this
Guaranty are for purposes of reference only and are not to be construed as
confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.
30. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and which, when taken
together, shall constitute but one instrument. All such counterparts will be
deemed to be originals and will together constitute but one and the same
instrument. If more than one guarantor executes this Guaranty, the joint and
several liability of the undersigned shall be unaffected by the failure of any
of the undersigned to execute any or all of the counterparts.
31. Rule of Construction. This Guaranty shall not be construed more
strictly against a party, solely because this Guaranty may have been prepared by
counsel for such party, it being agreed that each of Lender and Guarantor have
contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Guaranty.
32. Transfer Restriction. Guarantor hereby agrees that, for so long as
there shall remain any Guaranty Obligations outstanding, Guarantor shall not
convey, assign or transfer any of his assets, except (a) in exchange for fair
and full consideration or (b) in the ordinary course of business.
33. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty.
34. Specific Limitation on Guaranty Obligations. Guarantor and Lender
hereby confirm that it is the intention of Guarantor and Lender that this
Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance (a
"Fraudulent Conveyance") under the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law,
case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, the
"Bankruptcy Laws"). To give effect to the foregoing intention of Guarantor and
Lender, each of such parties hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranty
Obligations shall be limited to (but shall not be less than) such maximum amount
as will, after giving effect to the maximum amount of such obligations and all
other liabilities (whether contingent or otherwise) of Guarantor that are
relevant under such Bankruptcy Laws, result in the Guaranty Obligations not
constituting a Fraudulent Conveyance under the Bankruptcy Laws, as of the date
of execution and delivery of this Agreement.
