(a)          Guarantors unconditionally guarantee, as a primary obligor, and

following (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"):

 

(i)          that the construction of the Improvements will be fully completed
pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Agreement and substantially in
accordance with the Plans and the Leases on or before the Required Completion
Date, free and clear of all claims and liens (including but not limited to
mechanics’ liens, or if subject to liens, such liens have been bonded in
accordance with applicable law) against the Project and that Guarantor will make
available any and all funds necessary to pay for the completion of construction
of the Project as set forth above and will indemnify Lender, and defend and hold
Lender harmless against the claims of any unpaid contractors, sub-contractors,
laborers, materialmen, suppliers and all Persons and entities performing labor

Lender. Until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, all
other obligations hereunder have been performed and discharged, and all
Commitments have terminated or expired, the Guaranteed Obligations will not be
reduced in any manner whatsoever by any amounts which Lender realizes before or
after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, by acceleration or otherwise, as a
result of payments made by or on behalf of Borrower or by or on behalf of any
other person or entity primarily or secondarily liable for the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof (other than direct payments by Guarantors to
Lender as described in Section 2(c) below), or otherwise credited to Borrower or
such person or entity, or as a result of the exercise of Lender's rights with
respect to the Collateral. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be affected by
any errors or omissions of Borrower, any other Guarantor, the Architect, any
Contractor, or any agent or employee of any of them in design, supervision or
performance of the construction, it being understood that such risk is assumed
by Guarantors.

 

 2 

 

 

(c)          Subject to Lender's right to apply payments and collateral proceeds
received by it in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Guaranteed Obligations
shall only be reduced by payments made directly by Guarantors to Lender after
acceleration of the Indebtedness and shall not include any amounts received by
Lender from any other party or source or realized as a result of the exercise of
the rights in collateral furnished by any other party or source, including,
without limitation, the Borrower. In order for a payment to be construed as
having been made directly by Guarantors, Guarantors shall cause such payment to
be delivered in person or by mail, to any Vice President of Lender's Real Estate
Finance Department or by wire with written confirmation to any Vice President of
Lender's Real Estate Finance Department and such payment shall contain a written
statement by Guarantors that such payment applies to the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

3.          Nature of Guaranty; Waivers.

 

(a)          This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and Lender is
not required or obligated, as a condition of Guarantors’ liability, to make any
demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against Borrower or any other Loan
Party.

 

(b)          This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing
guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed
Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, all other obligations hereunder have
been performed and discharged. Subject to termination in accordance with the
previous sentence, this Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if
there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular
time or from time to time. This Guaranty will not be affected by (i) any
surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by Lender of any other
Person, or any other pledge, guaranty or any security held by it for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any failure of Lender to take any steps to perfect
or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any
Collateral or with respect to any pledge, guaranty or other security given in
support of the Obligations; or (iii) any irregularity, unenforceability or
invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any guaranty, pledge
or security instrument given in support of the Obligations. Guarantors’
obligations hereunder will not be affected, modified or impaired by any
counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim any
Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against Borrower or Lender, except
payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for so long as
any payment hereunder related to the Guaranteed Obligations may be voided,
treated as a preference or otherwise set aside in any preceding under any Debtor
Relief Law, and nothing herein shall waive any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to
file a claim for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or to require
that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Guaranteed Obligations
in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

 3 

 

 

(c)          To the extent permitted by Law, Guarantors further agree to make
full payment to Lender even if circumstances exist which constitute an equitable
discharge of any Guarantor as surety or guarantor. Notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to Borrower from time to time, notice
of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for
payment, and any defense based upon Lender's failure to comply with the notice
requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect from time to time are waived. Each Guarantor waives all defenses based on
suretyship or impairment of collateral.

 

(d)          Lender at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the
consent of Guarantors, and without impairing, releasing, discharging or
modifying Guarantors’ liabilities hereunder, may (i) change the manner, place,
time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms
relating to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (in which case, the "Guaranteed
Obligations" shall include any such changes); (ii) renew, substitute, modify,
amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Guaranteed
Obligations or guaranties; (iii) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or
however realized including any proceeds of any Collateral, to the Guaranteed
Obligations in such order, manner and amount as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion; (iv) settle, compromise or deal with any other Person, including
Borrower or any Guarantor, with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations in such
manner as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (v) add, substitute,
exchange or release any security, or add, modify or release the obligations of
other Loan Parties; or (vi) enter into one or more forbearance agreements or
take such actions and exercise such remedies provided by this Guaranty or the
other Loan Documents.

 

(e)          Guarantors’ liabilities hereunder are independent of, and severable
from, any other liabilities of Guarantors under any separate guaranty or
indemnity agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Loan
including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, any other
guaranty, pledge, security instrument, or indemnity agreement otherwise given by
a Loan Party in support of the Obligations.

 

4.          Repayments or Recovery from Lender. If any demand is made at any
time upon Lender for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in
payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and if Lender repays
all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any
such demand, Guarantors will be and remain liable hereunder, and the Guaranteed
Obligations will continue to include, the amount so repaid or recovered to the
same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by Lender. The
provisions of this section will remain effective notwithstanding any contrary
action which may have been taken by Guarantors in reliance upon such payment,
and any such contrary action will be without prejudice to Lender's rights
hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having
become final and irrevocable.

 

5.          Enforceability of Obligations. No modification, limitation or
discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under any
Debtor Relief Law will affect, modify, limit or discharge Guarantors’ liability
in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full
force and effect and will be enforceable against Guarantors to the same extent
and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been
instituted. Each Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to
it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent
hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the
liability of Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

 

 4 

 

 

6.          Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following will be an
"Event of Default" under this Guaranty: (a) any material breach by any Guarantor
of its representations and warranties, or default of its covenants and
obligations, under this Guaranty, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined in any of the Loan Documents), or (c) the termination or attempted
termination of this Guaranty, except in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

7.          Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff
against Guarantors’ money, securities or other property given to Lender by law,
Lender will have, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, rights of setoff
described in Section 10.2(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement.

 

8.          Guarantor Claims.

 

(a)          Until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, the
Guaranteed Obligations have been performed and discharged and all Commitments
have been terminated or expired, each Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment
or satisfaction of any Guarantor Claims and hereby assigns all such Guarantor
Claims to Lender, including the right (but not the obligation) to file proof of
claim and to vote in any action under any Debtor Relief Law, including the right
to vote on any plan of reorganization, liquidation or other proposal for debt
adjustment under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

(b)          Each Guarantor agrees that no payment by it under this Guaranty
will give rise to (i) any rights of subrogation against Borrower or the
Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) any rights of contribution
against any other Person, in each case unless and until Lender has received full
and indefeasible payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the
deferral of such rights will be unenforceable for any reason, each Guarantor
agrees that (iii) its rights of subrogation will be junior and subordinate to
Lender's rights against Borrower, any other guarantor, and the Collateral for
the Obligations, and (iv) its rights of contribution against any other Person
will be junior and subordinate to the rights against any other Person of Lender.

 

(c)          Any Guarantor Claim will be and hereby is deferred, postponed and
subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each
Guarantor agrees that should Guarantor receive any funds, payment, claim,
distribution, satisfaction or security for any Guarantor Claim, the same will be
delivered to Lender in the form received (endorsed or assigned as may be
appropriate) for application on account of, or as security for, the Guaranteed
Obligations and until so delivered to Lender, will be held in trust for Lender
as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees that it will have
absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claim,
distribution, satisfaction or security except to pay or deliver the same to
Lender, and each Guarantor covenants to promptly pay or deliver the same to
Lender.

 

(d)          Each Guarantor agrees that it will have no liens or security
interests upon a Loan Party's assets to secure any Guarantor Claim and, to the
extent that any such lien or security interest in such Guarantor's assets exists
or will hereafter be created or attach for any reason, such liens and security
interests are and will remain inferior and subordinate to the liens and security
interests of Lender securing the Guaranteed Obligations. Without the prior
written consent of Lender, no Guarantor will (i) exercise or enforce any
creditor's rights it may have against any Loan Party, or (ii) foreclose,
repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps to institute any action or
proceedings to enforce any liens or security interests on any asset of any Loan
Party.

 

 5 

 

 

(e)          In the event of any bankruptcy action or proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law involving a Guarantor as debtor, Lender will have the right to
prove its claim in any such action or 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. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender.
Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any
such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to such Guarantor and which
will constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon full payment
and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor will be
subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments with respect
to any such Guarantor Claim have contributed toward the liquidation of all the
obligations under this Guaranty, and such subrogation will be with respect to
that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if
Lender had not received dividends or payments upon such Guarantor Claim.

 

9.          Actions by Guarantor Against Borrower. Each Guarantor covenants and
agrees that it will not at any time institute or join in the institution of any
action or proceeding against Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law. Upon the
commencement of any such action or proceeding by or against Borrower, no
Guarantor shall seek nor cause Borrower to seek a supplemental stay or other
relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, to stay, interdict, condition,
reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights against
Borrower, any other guarantor or the Collateral.

 

10.         Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and
other communications required or permitted will be given in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

11.         Preservation of Rights. No course of dealing and no delay or failure
of Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this
Guaranty or any other Loan Document will affect any other or future exercise
thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise
thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right,
power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of Lender under this
Guaranty and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Lender may proceed in any
order against any Loan Party or any other obligor of, or any collateral
securing, the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

12.         Severability.  The provisions of this Guaranty are intended to be
severable. If any provision of this Guaranty is held invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part in any jurisdiction such provision will, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability
thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any
jurisdiction.

 

13.         Changes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or
consent to any departure by any Guarantor from, any provision of this Guaranty
will be effective unless made pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement. No
notice to or demand on any or all Guarantors will entitle Guarantors to any
other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

 

 6 

 

 

14.         Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among Guarantors and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided,
however, that this Guaranty is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any
other Guaranty or Loan Documents to which Guarantors are a party.

 

15.         Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of each Guarantor and Lender and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns;
provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign this Guaranty in whole or in
part without Lender's prior written consent. The death or disability of any
natural person who is a Guarantor shall in no way impair or affect this
Guaranty, either with respect to the estate of the person so dying, which shall
continue to be bound, or otherwise. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not
be affected in any way by any transfer of interests in Borrower, even though
Lender may have consented to such transfer pursuant to the provisions of the
Loan Agreement or otherwise. Any other attempted assignment or transfer by any
party hereto is null and void.

 

16.         Treatment of Certain Information. 

Each Guarantor agrees that Information concerning such Guarantor may be
disclosed (a) to any Affiliates and Related Parties of Lender, provided that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential;
(b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting
to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any
self-regulatory authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other Loan
Party; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder;
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this
Guaranty; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection
with rating Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Loan Parties, or their
Affiliates, or the credit facility provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service
Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of
CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility provided for herein; (h) with
the consent of such Guarantor, any other Loan Party or their Affiliates whose
consent is required; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes
available to Lender or any of its Affiliates on a not confidential basis from a
source other than such Guarantor, the other Loan Parties or their Affiliates.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
by applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement or this Guaranty is considered to
have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain confidentiality as such Person could accord to its
own confidential information.

 

17.         Joint and Several Liability. Guarantors, if more than one,
acknowledge and agree that all obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be
joint and several, and all references to a Guarantor herein shall be deemed to
refer to each of such parties comprising Guarantors both individually and
collectively with the other such party.

18.         Interpretation. In this Guaranty, unless Guarantors and Lender
otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the plural the

entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
Lender and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), and to defend and hold each

Loan and assignment of any rights hereunder.
