The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, subject to the termination provisions in Section 20., including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(k)           any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(m)          any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

 

Section 4.  Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3. and may otherwise:  (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Guarantied Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties shall elect.

4











 

by the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

 

Section 6.  Covenants.  Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants with which the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.  Waiver.  Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.  Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9.  Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party.

 

Section 10.  Subrogation.  Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of any other Loan Party, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Loan Party; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11.  Payments Free and Clear.  Section 3.10. of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all payments required to be made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

Section 12.  Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, subject to Section 13.4. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby authorizes, each Guarantied Party, each Affiliate of a Guarantied Party and each Participant, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent) or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by a Guarantied Party, an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 13.  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from any other Loan Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14.  Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the

 

6











 

Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

Section 15.  Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

Section 16.  Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

SECTION 17.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(a)           EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)           EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL

 

7











 

SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED HEREIN. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)           THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

 

Section 18.  Loan Accounts.  The Administrative Agent and each other Guarantied Party may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 19.  Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

 

Section 20.  Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force with respect to each Guarantor until the earliest of the (x) the date on which all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations that have not been asserted, (2) Letters of Credit the expiration dates of which extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as permitted under Section 2.3.(b) and in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements of such Section and Section 2.14. and (3) to the extent arrangements reasonably satisfactory to a Specified Derivatives Provider under a Specified Derivatives Contract have been entered into, Specified Derivatives Obligations under such Specified Derivatives Contract) or (y) solely with respect to such Guarantor (but not any other Guarantor), release or termination of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, at which point this Guaranty shall (solely with respect to such Guarantor, in the case of clause (y)), automatically terminate and have no further force and effect (other than any provisions of this Guaranty that expressly survive the termination hereof). The Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably requested in accordance with Section

 

8











 

8.14. or Section 8.15. of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, by the Borrower or any such Guarantor to evidence such termination or release, at the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense.

 

Section 21.  Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Guarantied Parties may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Subject to Section 13.9. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all other Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and all of the other Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

 

Section 22.  JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor subject to Section 13.17. of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 8.14.(c) or Section 8.15. of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, and any Subsidiary may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering an Accession Agreement in accordance with Section 8.14.(a) of the Credit Agreement.

9












 

receipt of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.

 

Section 26.  Severability.  In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 27.  Headings.  Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

 

Section 28.  Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guarantied Parties, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any Specified Derivatives Contract.  Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent, any other Guarantied Party or any of their respective Related Parties, for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

 

Section 29.  Electronic Delivery of Certain Information.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that information regarding the Guarantor may be delivered electronically pursuant to Section 9.5. of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 30. Right of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations until such time as the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section against any other Guarantor until such Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Subject to Section 10. of this Guaranty, this Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under Applicable Law against any other Loan Party in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 20. hereof. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

Section 32. Non-Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Guaranty or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, and notwithstanding the fact that DBT Met Hotel Venture, LP (“DBT LP”) may be a limited partnership, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each of the Guarantied Parties acknowledge and agree that no DBT Non-Recourse Party has any obligation hereunder and that no recourse shall be had hereunder or under any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation, against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any DBT Non-Recourse Party, through the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties against any DBT Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equity proceeding, by virtue of any applicable law, or otherwise.

 

For purposes of this Section 32, “DBT Non-Recourse Party” shall mean any former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, or general or limited partners of DBT LP (including without limitation, Highgate Oxford New York II, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership, and its successors and affiliates), other than any Guarantor.
