ARTICLE 4
Title and Survey

 

Section 4.1.                                Title and Survey

 

(a)                                 At or prior to execution of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the most recent owner’s title insurance policy issued in connection with the Real Property, legible copies of all documents listed as exception documents in such title insurance policy and all existing surveys of the Real Property, to the extent that the same are in Seller’s possession or control; and (b) Purchaser shall order a title commitment for a title policy (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company and Seller shall order, at Seller’s sole cost, an ALTA survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”).  Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline to give Seller and the Title Company a written notice (“Purchaser’s Title Notice”) that sets forth any objections that Purchaser has to the Title Commitment or the Survey based on its review thereof (the “Purchaser Title Objections”).  Seller shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice to notify Purchaser that Seller (i) will cause or (ii) elects not to cause any or all of the Purchaser Title Objections disclosed therein to be removed or insured over by the Title Company.  Seller’s failure to notify Purchaser within such two (2) Business Day period as to any Purchaser Title Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or have the Title Company insure over such Purchaser Title Objection.  If Seller notifies or is deemed to have notified Purchaser that Seller shall not remove nor have the Title Company insure over any or all of the Purchaser Title Objections, Purchaser shall have three (3) Business Days thereafter (A) to waive such Purchaser Title Objections, in which case such Purchaser Title Objections (other than the Mandatory Cure Items) shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”, or (B) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser without any further action or approval required from Seller, and the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller (other than the those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof) shall terminate.  Purchaser’s failure to waive such Purchaser Title Objections or terminate this Agreement within the prescribed time period shall constitute Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Permitted Exceptions include, and Seller shall have the obligation to remove or cure on or before the Closing Date, (a) any exceptions to title which would be removed upon Seller’s delivery of the Title Affidavit to the Title Company, (b) any exceptions to title which are mortgages or liens evidencing monetary encumbrances, (c) the lien of ad valorem real or personal property taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property that are delinquent or that will be delinquent on the Closing Date, (d) title matters created or agreed to by Seller in violation of the terms of this Agreement, or (e) any exception to title that Seller has specifically agreed in writing to remove pursuant to this Section 4.1 (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”).  It shall be a Condition Precedent favoring Purchaser that Seller remove all Mandatory Cure Items at or prior to Closing and in the event that Seller fails to cure all Mandatory Cure Items, Seller shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser shall be afforded all of the rights and remedies provided in Section 10.3.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser may prior to the Closing Date notify Seller in writing of any objection to title or survey (excluding objections to title or survey which have been waived by Purchaser as hereinabove provided or that are or are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions) arising

 

2


 

after the date of Purchaser’s Title Notice (“New Title Matters”).  With respect to any objections to title or survey set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same options to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(a) above and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

(b)                                 During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser, personally or through its authorized agents or representatives, shall be entitled to interview the tenants and any subtenants and, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, to enter upon the Property during normal business hours, and shall have the right to make such investigations, including appraisals, engineering studies, soil tests, environmental studies, inquiry of governmental officials, and underwriting analyses, as Purchaser deems necessary or advisable, subject to the following limitations:  (i) Purchaser shall give Seller written or telephonic notice (which may be via email) at least one (1) Business Day before conducting any inspections on the Property, and a representative of Seller shall have the right to be present when Purchaser or its representatives conducts its or their investigations on the Property; (ii) neither Purchaser nor its representatives shall materially interfere with the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Property by the Tenant; (iii) neither Purchaser nor its agents shall damage the Property or any portion thereof, except for any immaterial damage caused by environmental or geotechnical tests, all of which shall promptly be repaired by Purchaser; and (iv) Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller against all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damage to the Property caused by the activities of Purchaser or its agents under this paragraph, provided; however, that such indemnity shall not include any costs or damages caused by (x) the acts of the Seller or its agents or representatives, (y) any claims of diminution in the value of the Property as a consequence of the results revealed by such tests and inspections or (z) any pre-existing condition of the Property.  The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) months.

 

Section 5.2.                                Due Diligence Period.  Purchaser shall have the period ending at 5:00 p.m.  Pacific Time on December 21, 2018, (the “Due Diligence Period”), to physically inspect the Property, review economic data and market conditions, review the Existing Yankee Lease and the Existing Boyd Lease (which Existing Boyd Lease shall be terminated on the Closing Date), conduct appraisals, make inquiry of governmental officials, perform examinations of the physical condition of the Improvements, examine the Real Property for the presence of Hazardous Materials, and to otherwise conduct such due diligence and underwriting as Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate.  This Agreement shall terminate unless, before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (the “Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline”), Purchaser gives Seller written notice (the “Due Diligence Period Notice”) that Purchaser, in its absolute and unreviewable discretion, elects to proceed with the purchase of the

Property subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, at any time before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, Purchaser may, in its absolute and unreviewable discretion, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller (the “Termination Notice”) for any reason or no reason.  In the event that either:  (a) Purchaser gives a Termination Notice before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, or (b) Purchaser does not give a Termination Notice but fails to deliver the Due Diligence Period Notice before the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit promptly shall be returned to Purchaser, with no further action needed from either Purchaser or Seller, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 5.3.                                Confidentiality.  Purchaser shall use the Confidential Information only for purposes of evaluating the Property in connection with its potential purchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and, if the Closing occurs, in connection with its ownership of the Property).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Purchaser may disclose the Confidential Information to its owners, legal counsel, accountants, actual and potential lenders, actual and potential investors, regulatory authorities and similar third parties that need to review the Confidential Information in connection with Purchaser’s purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and financing thereof, and (b) Purchaser may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order or by discovery rules in any legal proceeding, provided that Purchaser first shall provide written notice thereof to Seller (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter if Purchaser is not permitted to provide prior written notice by law or court order).  If this Agreement is terminated before the Closing, Purchaser promptly shall return the Confidential Information to Seller or shall destroy such Confidential Information.  Purchaser may retain any Confidential Information (and any derivative thereof) as required by law, regulation, stock exchange rules and internal document retention and archival policies.  Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (b) of this Section 5.3, the parties agree that, except as may be required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange), prior to Closing no party shall make any public pronouncements, issue press releases or otherwise furnish information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.4.                                Termination of ContractsPrior to the Due Diligence Period Notice Deadline, Purchaser shall notify Seller of which Contracts, if any, Purchaser wishes to have assigned to it at the Closing (any such contracts, the “Continuing Contracts”).  Any Contract as to which Purchaser does not send such notice shall remain the sole obligation of Seller to either cause to be (i) terminated by Seller effective as of the Closing Date at no cost to Purchaser or, (ii) provided that such Contract would not bind Purchaser from and after Closing (including, without limitation, in the event that Purchaser terminates the Seller Lease post Closing pursuant to the terms set forth therein,) assigned by Seller to Boyd Flotation to continue such services as the tenant at the Property under the Seller Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events, all management and leasing agreements shall be terminated on or before the Closing at no cost or liability to Purchaser.

Section 6.4.                                Condemnation.  If, at any time before completion of the Closing, a taking or condemnation (or proceeding in lieu thereof) is commenced or threatened in writing:  (i) of all or substantially all of the Property; or (ii) of less than all or substantially all of the Property that:  (1) Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the cost to repair or restore the same exceeds $500,000; (2) Yankee Clipper or Boyd Flotation, as applicable, is permitted to terminate an Existing Lease under the terms thereof or abate or offset rent under an Existing Lease on account of such condemnation; (3) the Property cannot be restored or rebuilt as-of-right in compliance with applicable zoning laws (including any such zoning laws relating to reconstruction of grandfathered structures) or is rendered noncompliant with any applicable zoning laws; or (4) access to or egress from the Property is materially impaired (any of the foregoing, a “Material Taking”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect either to:

 

(a)                                 terminate this Agreement, upon which neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall immediately receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent; or

 

(b)                                 purchase the Property subject to and in accordance with this Agreement.

the right to be present with Seller at any hearings or negotiations with respect thereto, and (4) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such matter without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.4(a) unless, within fifteen (15) Business Days from written notice to Purchaser of the condemnation, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.4(b).  If the Closing Date would otherwise occur sooner, it shall automatically be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser of the Material Taking.

(b)                                 From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not enter into any new Contracts or material modifications, renewals or terminations of any existing Contracts that would impose any obligations on Purchaser or on the Property after Closing, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.  Without limiting the foregoing approval rights, Seller shall provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any new Contracts or material modifications, renewals or terminations of any such contracts, together with complete copies of the documents relating thereto.

 

(c)                                  From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not, without Purchaser’s prior written approval, (i) make any material alterations or additions to the Property, except as may be required by law or by the Existing Leases or as may reasonably be required for the prudent repair and maintenance of the Property, (ii) change or attempt to change (or consent to any change in) the zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable to the Property, or (iii) cancel, amend or modify in any material respect any Permit.

8


 

any of its representations or warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing.

 

(e)                                  Seller (i) shall not during the term of this Agreement offer, promise, give or agree to give to any person or entity any bribe on behalf of Purchaser or its affiliates or otherwise with the object of obtaining a business advantage for Purchaser or its affiliates or otherwise; (ii) will not engage in any activity or practice which would constitute an offense under any applicable anti-bribery and/or anti-corruption laws, including but not limited to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; (iii) will maintain in place, its own policies and procedures to ensure compliance with any applicable anti-corruption laws; (iv) will ensure that any person or entity who performs or has performed services for or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement complies with the provisions of this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii); (v) will maintain in place, effective accounting procedures and internal controls necessary to record all expenditures in connection with this Agreement, which enable Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser’s affiliates to readily identify Seller’s financial and related records in connection with this Agreement; (vi) from time to time during the term of this Agreement, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, will confirm in writing that it has complied with its undertakings under this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii); (vii) shall notify Purchaser as soon as practicable of any breach of any of the undertakings contained in this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii) of which it becomes aware; (viii) shall explicitly include the obligations in this Section 6.5(e) and Section 7.3(a)(vii) in any subcontracts or agreements formed between Seller and any subcontractors to the extent that those subcontracts or agreements relate to fulfillment of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement.

18


 

obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.2) or any default by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.3), the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further obligations hereunder.

 

Section 10.2.                         Purchaser’s Default.  If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within ten (10) days from written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser, then:  (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other.  PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH.  PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNTS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369 BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671,1676 AND 1677.

 

Section 10.3.                         Seller’s Default.  If Seller fails to perform any its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within three (3) days from written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity:  (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit will promptly be returned to Purchaser, Seller promptly shall reimburse Purchaser for the actual out-of-pocket third party costs that Purchaser has incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and the transaction contemplated hereby, and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other except for the obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (c) specifically enforce this Agreement.  Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default; provided, however, that if, in breach of this Agreement, Seller intentionally or willfully defaults in its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, by selling the Property (or any portion thereof) to someone other than Purchaser) or otherwise takes action that renders the remedy of specific performance impossible or impractical to obtain, Seller shall be liable for any damages suffered by Purchaser as a result of such breach, and Purchaser may seek any additional remedies from Seller in law or in equity.  If Purchaser brings an action for specific performance, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser pending the outcome of such action.

 

19

Any address or name specified above may be changed by notice given to the addressee by the other party in accordance with this Section 11.4.  The inability to deliver notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given as provided above, or because of rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept.  Any notice to be given by any party hereto may be given by the counsel for such party.

 

Section 11.5.                         Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of a judicial or administrative proceeding or action by one party against the other party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level.

Section 11.7.                         Further Instruments.  Each party, promptly upon the request of the other, shall execute and have acknowledged and delivered to the other or to Title Company, as may be appropriate, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.8.                         Severability.  The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.  If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law, statute, ordinance, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 11.9.                         ExclusivityIn consideration of the significant time and expense to be devoted by Purchaser to its potential acquisition of the Property, Seller agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will negotiate exclusively with Purchaser concerning a potential sale of the Property, it will not market the Property for sale or allow other potential purchasers to inspect or tour the Property, and it has not and will not enter into any agreement to sell the Property to any party other than Purchaser.  If Seller breaches its obligations under this Section, Purchaser shall have the right to damages and, at Purchaser’s election, injunctive or other equitable relief.

 

Section 11.10.                  Independent ConsiderationContemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser has paid to the Seller as further consideration for this Agreement, the amount of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) (“Independent Consideration”) in addition to the Deposit and independent of any other consideration provided for hereunder, which Independent Consideration is fully earned by Seller and is not refundable under any circumstances.

 

Section 11.11.                  Tax Deferred Transaction.  Either party (such party, the “Exchanging Party”) may consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Code, provided that:  (i) the other, non-exchanging party (such party, the “Non-Exchanging Party”) shall be provided no less than ten (10) days prior written notice of such Exchange and the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange, nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Non-Exchanging Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Exchanging Party shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary; (iii) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to take an assignment of this Agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property (other than the Property) for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (iv) the Exchanging Party shall pay all costs (including legal fees, escrow costs, brokerage commissions, title charges, survey costs, recording costs and other charges) incurred with respect to the Exchange.  The Non-Exchanging

 

23


 

Party shall not by this agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner, (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the Exchanging Party that the Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the Code, (3) have any responsibility or liability to any third party involved in the Exchange, or (4) be required to make any representations or warranties, assume any obligations, spend any sum, or incur any personal liability whatsoever in connection with the Exchange.  For the avoidance of doubt, all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the Exchanging Party set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or limited by the Exchanging Party’s use of an exchange accommodator and shall survive the Exchange and shall continue to inure directly from the Exchanging Party for the benefit of the Non-Exchanging Party.  In other words, Exchanging Party shall not be released from any obligations or liability under this Agreement.

 

Section 11.12.                  Post-Closing Access to Records.  Upon receipt by Seller of Purchaser’s reasonable written request at any time and from time to time within a period from the Closing until the later of (i) 2 years after Closing, or (ii) for the period any tenant has the right under its lease for the Property to audit such books and records of Seller, Seller shall, at Seller’s principal place of business, during Seller’s normal business hours, make all of Seller’s records relating to the Property available to Purchaser for inspection and copying (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense).

 

Section 11.13.                  Information and Audit Cooperation.  To the extent necessary to enable Purchaser to comply with any financial reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser and upon at least 5 Business Days prior written notice to Seller, within 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost or liability to Seller) and allow Purchaser’s auditors to audit the trial balance related to the operation of the Property for the calendar year prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of the calendar year starting on January 1 through the Closing Date.  Other than any representation, warranty or covenant otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the documents delivered at Closing, Seller makes no representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed in auditing the same, and Purchaser releases and waives any liability or claims against Seller related to the trial balance or the books and records which may be reviewed and audited.

JOINDER BY BOYD FLOTATION, INC.

 

Boyd Flotation, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Guarantor”), hereby joins in this Agreement in this joinder (the “Joinder”) solely in order to confirm its obligations as described in Section 10.4 hereof.

 

The terms of this Joinder and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are a continuing and irrevocable obligation of Guarantor and shall remain in full force until payment, performance and/or observation in full of the obligations hereunder.  Guarantor’s guaranty and liability under this Joinder is absolute and unconditional (subject, however, to the terms, conditions and limitations on the liability of Seller as set forth in the Agreement, all of which shall apply to and limit Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder) and shall not be affected, released, terminated, discharged or impaired, in whole or in part, by any or all of the following:  (i) any lack of genuineness, regularity, validity, legality or enforceability, or the voidability, of this Joinder; (ii) the failure of Purchaser to exercise or to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against any person or any collateral or other security available to it; (iii) any amendment or modification of the terms of this Joinder or the Agreement, unless otherwise provided therein to the contrary; (iv) any failure or delay of the Purchaser to exercise, or any lack of diligence in exercising, any right or remedy with respect to this Joinder (other than failure by Purchaser to comply with the timeframes and deadlines for any actions set forth in the Agreement); and/or (v) any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to Seller, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, other than the defense of (a) payment and performance (Purchaser, by its acceptance of this Joinder, hereby agreeing that any such payment or performance shall reduce Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder to the full extent of such payment or performance) or (b) the claim against Seller is not due and owing under the terms of the Agreement or that Seller has performed.

 

Guarantor expressly waives the following:  (a) notice of acceptance of the Agreement; (b) any requirement of promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of demand and notice of acceptance (other than failure by Purchaser to comply with the timeframes and deadlines for any actions set forth in the Agreement); (c) the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, or by reason of or relating, in any way, to its obligations under this Joinder or the Agreement, or the interpretation, breach or enforcement of such obligations; and (d) all rights of subrogation and any other claims that it may now or hereafter acquire against Seller or any insider that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder until such time as Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are performed and paid in full or have expired.  Guarantor’s guaranty under this Joinder is a present guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and performance of all of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding the fact that this Joinder or the Agreement has become unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding.

 

Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and certifies to the Purchaser as follows:  (i) the execution, delivery and performance under this Joinder by Guarantor will not violate any provision of any law, regulation, order or decree of any governmental authority, bureau or agency or of any

 


 

court binding on Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or which is binding on Guarantor, or of any contract, undertaking or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or which is binding upon or any of its property or assets and (ii) this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies to any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and doctrines of equity affecting the availability of equitable remedies.
