(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender 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 in accordance with the Loan Documents.

3. Limitation on Liability of Guarantor.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of:

(i) any foreclosure (or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure) by a Mezzanine Lender that is not Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, of the direct Equity Interests in Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or any other Mezzanine Borrower pledged as collateral for a Mezzanine Loan pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents (any such foreclosure or transfer-in-lieu thereof, a “Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment”), with the result that neither Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Guarantor (excluding, however, any Loan Party who as a result of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment is no longer Controlled by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor) shall hold any direct or indirect Equity Interests in, or Control, Borrower (Borrower in such case may be referred to as “Divested Borrower”); or

(ii) any foreclosure (whether judicially or non-judicially by private sale or trustee’s sale) or deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer under any Security Instrument (any such foreclosure, foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof, a “Foreclosure Divestment”), with the result that neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall hold any direct or indirect interest in, or the power to direct the management of, any Individual Property thereby foreclosed or transferred, excluding Guarantor’s, HoldCo’s or any Intermediate HoldCo Entity’s direct or indirect Equity Interests in Master Lessee (each such Individual Property, a “Divested Property”); or

(iii) the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to an Individual Property (any such appointment, a “Receivership Event”, and the period during which such Individual Property remains under a receivership, the “Receivership Period”), with the result that neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall have any possession of, or hold the power to direct the management of, such Individual Property that is subject to such Receivership Event during the Receivership Period, excluding Guarantor’s, HoldCo’s or any Intermediate HoldCo Entity’s direct or indirect Equity Interests in Master Lessee (each such Individual Property subject to a Receivership Event, a “Receivership Property”),

 

2


then, in such cases, Guarantor shall not have any liability hereunder for any Guaranteed Obligations (A) to the extent arising from: (1) any action taken by any Loan Party who as a result of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment is no longer Controlled by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, (2) any circumstance, condition, action or event with respect to the Property or any Loan Party first occurring after the date of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment, (3) any action taken by any successor owner of such Divested Property, (4) any circumstance, condition, action or event with respect to such Divested Property first occurring after the date of such Foreclosure Divestment, (5) any action taken by any receiver for such Receivership Property during the Receivership Period, or (6) any circumstance, condition, action or event with respect to such Receivership Property first occurring after the occurrence of such Receivership Event and during the continuance of such Receivership Period; and (B) not caused by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower (excluding any Loan Party who as a result of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment is no longer Controlled by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor); provided that Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder for any Guaranteed Obligations to the extent arising from any circumstance, condition, action or event occurring (x) with respect such Divested Borrower, prior to the date of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment, even to the extent the applicable liability, loss, cost, or expense does not occur, or the occurrence of the applicable circumstance, condition, action or event is not discovered, until after the date of such Mezzanine Foreclosure Divestment, (y) with respect to such Divested Property, prior to the date of such Foreclosure Divestment, even to the extent the applicable liability, loss, cost, or expense does not occur, or the occurrence of the applicable circumstance, condition, action or event is not discovered, until after the date of such Foreclosure Divestment, and (z) with respect to such Receivership Property, prior to such Receivership Event or after the expiration of such Receivership Period, even to the extent the applicable liability, loss, cost, or expense occurs, or the occurrence of the applicable circumstance, condition, action or event is first discovered, during such Receivership Period.

(b) In the event that an “Event of Default” under a Mezzanine Loan shall exist with respect to a Mezzanine Loan and the related Mezzanine Lender is not Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower and exercises, pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Mezzanine Loan Documents, direct voting Control, by power of attorney or other exercise of voting power with respect to the Equity Interests of the applicable Borrower, SPE Component Entity or Mezzanine Borrower pledged to such Mezzanine Lender as collateral for its Mezzanine Loan under the related Mezzanine Loan Documents, of such Equity Interests in the applicable Borrower, SPE Component Entity or Mezzanine Borrower so pledged as collateral for such Mezzanine Loan (the “Direct Control Remedies”, and such Mezzanine Lender exercising such Direct Control Remedies, the “Controlling Mezzanine Lender”), Guarantor shall not have liability hereunder for the actions that such Controlling Mezzanine Lender, in the exercise of its Direct Control Remedies, causes Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or any Mezzanine Borrower to take (“Mezzanine Lender Controlled Actions”) if such Mezzanine Lender Controlled Actions are taken without inducement, solicitation and/or consent from, or in collusion with, Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower (other than Loan Parties to the extent Controlled by the Controlling Mezzanine Lender in the exercise of its Direct Control Remedies).

4. Nature of Guaranty.

(a) Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection and upon any failure of Borrower to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, Lender may, at its option, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the liability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other Person, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against any of the collateral for the Loan.

(b) Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute under any and all circumstances, without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Document, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received and reviewed. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor.

(c) Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender 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 party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the defense of payment or that the obligations are not as claimed), whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

(d) Payment by Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, 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 in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’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 Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

(e) No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), 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 Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender 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 Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Subordination.

(a) Guarantor Claims Subordinated and Deferred. Any indebtedness and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing, including without limitation, any rights to subrogation, contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement which Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, together with any interest thereon (collectively, the “Guarantor Claims”), shall be, and such Guarantor Claims are hereby, deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally, Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and the right to vote on any plan of reorganization.

(b) Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a 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 Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed 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 payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and the Guaranteed 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 Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

(c) Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, 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 Lender until the Loan is repaid in full 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 Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

(d) 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,

 

5


judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed 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, until the Loan is repaid in full, 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 Lender.

6. Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees that, promptly after notice or demand, Guarantor will reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrower, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof.

7. Waivers.

(a) Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or notice or demand with respect to this Guaranty.

(b) Subject to Section 3 above, Guarantor agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of:

(i) (A) the assertion by Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to any of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Documents against any Person obligated thereunder; (B) any failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby; (C) the release or exchange of any property or interest covered by the Loan Agreement or the Pledge or any other collateral for the Loan, or the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (D) the failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of any collateral, property or security, including Lender’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy which Lender may have hereunder or in respect to this Guaranty; (E) the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any Person obligated under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Document; or (F) any payment made on the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Document, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other Person, which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law;

 

6


it being understood that no payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder; it being further understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the Guaranteed Obligations due and payable on the happening of any Default or Event of Default under the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Document, then the Guaranteed Obligations shall become due and payable and Lender may, as against Guarantor, declare the Guaranteed Obligations to be due and payable and enforce any or all of its rights and remedies against Guarantor provided for herein; or

(ii) (A) the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof exceeding the amount permitted by law, (B) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof being ultra vires, (C) the officers or representatives executing the Note, the Pledge, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acting in excess of their authority, (D) the Guaranteed Obligations violating applicable usury laws, (E) Borrower having valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower (other than the defense of payment or that the obligations are not as claimed), (F) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) being illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (G) the Note, the Pledge, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents having been forged or otherwise being irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other Person is found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason (other than the defense of payment or that the obligations are not as claimed); or

(iii) any full or partial release of the liability of Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or of any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support from any other Person, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other Persons (including Borrower) will be liable to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations or that Lender will look to other Persons (including Borrower) to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(iv) the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower or Guarantor into or with any other Person; or

(v) any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will

 

7


be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, 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 payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) This Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any modification, extension or renewal of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge or any other Loan Document except as may be expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure any security or lien provided by the Loan Agreement or the Pledge or any other collateral, and Guarantor acknowledges that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under any or all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without notice to, or further consent of, Guarantor.

(d) Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to the obligation hereunder.

8. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Benefit. Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

(c) No Representation By Lender. Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor (i) is and will be solvent, (ii) has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and (iii) has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, including the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not and will not contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, charge, lien, contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
