PARTIAL LIMITED GUARANTY OF COLLECTION

 

THIS PARTIAL LIMITED GUARANTY OF COLLECTION (“Guaranty”) is made as of                   , 2005 by                                               (“Guarantor”), whose address is                                                                         , in favor of Dividend Capital Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”).

 

RECITALS

A.                                   Cabot Industrial Value Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (to be renamed DCT Industrial Value Fund I, L.P., the “Borrower”) has executed and delivered to Lender a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Note”).

 

B.                                     Guarantor is a limited partner of the Borrower; and

 

C.                                     Lender is the holder of all right, title and interest in the Note;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the full and prompt payment when due, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Borrower for principal and interest now or hereafter existing under the Note.  Any payments made by Guarantor hereunder shall be deemed to be capital contributions to the Borrower.

 

2.                                       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be limited to $                          (the Guarantor’s “Guaranty Maximum Amount”).

 

3.                                       (a)                                  If Lender exercises its rights under this Guaranty before exercising and exhausting all of the Collateral Rights, Lender shall bear the burden of proving that the Non-Guarantor Recovery would be less than the outstanding amount of principal and interest due under the Note.

 

(b)                                 As used herein, “Non-Guarantor Recovery” shall mean the sum of:

 

(i)                                     all amounts ultimately received, or which would be received, and the fair market value of all assets transferred, or which would be transferred, to Lender in full or partial satisfaction of the Note upon the exercise and exhaustion of any and all of Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrower available under the Note and any other security instruments and agreements securing repayment of the Note (the “Collateral Rights”); and

 

Schedules to Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement

 



 

(ii)                                  the sum of any and all other payments received by Lender, other than regularly scheduled payments due under the Note or payments from any other Partner Guarantor.

 

(c)                                  As used herein, “Partner Guarantor” shall mean any other guarantor who (x) is now or hereafter becomes a limited partner of the Borrower, and (y) executes a guaranty in substantially the form of this Guaranty which by its terms refers to, and specifies that it is intended to be pari passu with, this Guaranty.  Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are intended to be pari passu with those of the other Partner Guarantors.

 

4.                                       (a)                                  If Lender desires to exercise its rights hereunder, Lender shall send written notice (“Guaranty Notice”) to the Guarantor setting forth the Guarantor’s Guaranty Liability Amount.  Guarantor shall pay Lender his Guaranty Liability Amount owing hereunder within thirty days of the receipt of the Guaranty Notice.

 

(b)                                 For a Guarantor, the “Guaranty Liability Amount” shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Guaranty Maximum Amount for the Guarantor and (ii) the product of a fraction having as its numerator the Guaranty Maximum Amount for the Guarantor, and as its denominator the current aggregate “Guaranty Maximum Amounts” for Guarantor and all other Partner Guarantors, multiplied by the Aggregate Guaranty Liability Amount.

 

(c)                                  The “Aggregate Guaranty Liability Amount” shall be computed as follows:

 

(i)                                     If the Non-Guarantor Recovery is less than the current aggregate Guaranty Maximum Amounts for Guarantor and all Partner Guarantors (“Aggregate Guaranty Maximum Amounts”), then the Aggregate Guaranty Liability Amount shall equal the excess of (a) the Aggregate Guaranty Maximum Amounts over (b) the Non-Guarantor Recovery; and

 

(ii)                                  If the Non-Guarantor Recovery is at least equal to the Aggregate Guaranty Maximum Amounts, then the Aggregate Guaranty Liability Amount is zero.

 

5.                                       Guarantor hereby waives any right of subrogation to Lender’s claims against the Borrower and any right of indemnity, reimbursement or contributions from the Borrower with respect to any payment made by Guarantor pursuant hereto.

 

6.                                       All additional demands, presentments, notices of protest and dishonor, and notices of every kind and nature, including those of any action or no action on the part of the Borrower, Lender or Guarantor, are expressly waived by Guarantor.  Lender may, at its election, foreclose upon any security held by it in one or more foreclosure sales, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or impairing the liability of Guarantor, except to the extent the indebtedness shall have been paid.  Guarantor waives any defense arising out of such an election, notwithstanding that such election may operate to impair or extinguish any right or any remedy of Guarantor against the Borrower or any security.

 



 

7.                                       Any notice or demand hereunder shall be in writing, may be delivered personally or sent by certified mail with postage prepaid, by reputable courier service with charges prepaid or by telecopier.  Any notice or demand sent by certified mail or reputable courier service shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below (as to the Guarantor) or in the Note (as to Lender).  Any notice or demand hereunder shall be deemed given when received.

 

8.                                       (a)                                  This Guaranty shall be a continuing Guaranty, and shall be binding upon, and enforceable against, Guarantor and Guarantor’s successors and assigns.

 

(b)                                 In the event of the death of Guarantor, or in the event of the death of the settlor of the inter vivos trust, if Guarantor is a revocable trust, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the date nine months after the occurrence of such death.

 

(c)                                  In the event of (i) a sale or other disposition by a Guarantor of all of his remaining interests in the Borrower to an unrelated third party in a transaction in which gain or loss is required to be recognized in its entirety for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a transfer by a Guarantor of all or a portion of his interests in the Borrower in a transaction pursuant to which the transferee assumes all or a portion of the Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty, this Guaranty (or, in the case of a transfer described in (ii), the portion hereof assumed by transferee) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the date of two hundred and seventy days after the date of such disposition.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor shall not terminate under Section 8 in any case if, during the six-month period following such attempted termination, there has been:

 

(i)                                     an entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Borrower by a court having jurisdiction over a substantial part of the Borrower’s assets, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Borrower or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Borrower’s affairs in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law;

 

(ii)                                  the commencement against the Borrower of any involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law; or

 

(iii)                               the commencement by the Borrower of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by it to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Borrower or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of a

 



 

general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of the Borrower generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

 

provided further that after the passage of such six-month period, the obligations of Guarantor shall terminate as provided above at the first time that all of the conditions set forth in (i) through (iii) above are no longer in effect.

 

9.                                       Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of the Borrower, and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon his own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto and is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of the Lender.  Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning the Borrower’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent thereto as it may desire, and it is not relying upon or expecting the Lender to furnish to him any information in the Lender’s possession concerning the same or any other matter.  Guarantor has no right to require the Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to the Note, the financial condition or character of the Borrower, any action or non-action on the part of the Lender or any other person, or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.  Lender may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of Guarantor, agree to any amendment, waiver, modification or alteration of the Note or its Collateral Rights, including, without limitation, renewal, extension, waiver or variation of the maturity of the Note, increase or reduction of the rate of interest payable under the Note, release, substitution or addition of any guarantor or endorser and acceptance or release of any security for such obligation.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty is executed and delivered as of the date first written above.
