NATURE
AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY


 


1.1          Guaranty
of Obligations.


 


(a)           Guarantor
hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the full and timely payment and performance of all of the
Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable under the Loan Documents, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration
of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for
the Guaranteed Obligations as primary obligor.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Guarantor shall have no liability for Guaranteed Obligations or other
matters hereunder for (i) any action taken by any Person (other than Borrower, Property Owner, Guarantor, or any other Person that,
directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under Common Control with Guarantor) from and after a Transfer approved
by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents of the entire Property or all of the direct and indirect interests
of Borrower in Mortgage Borrower to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Guarantor, (ii) any action taken by any Person (other
than Borrower, Property Owner, Guarantor, or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under
Common Control with Guarantor) from and after Mortgage Lender obtains title to the Property or Lender obtains title to the Collateral,
whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in connection with any exercise of Mortgage Lender’s remedies
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents or Lender’s remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any actions taken by any
Person (other than Borrower, Property Owner, Guarantor or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled
by or is under Common Control with Guarantor, except if such action of Borrower, Property Owner, Guarantor or any other such Person
is caused or required by a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, Lender or applicable law) on or after the date on which
a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or conservator is appointed, at Mortgage Lender’s or Lender’s request, to take Control
of the Property or the Collateral, or (iii) any action taken (a) by Lender or, to the extent there is any other mezzanine lender
(“Additional Mezzanine Lender”) with respect to any additional mezzanine loan (“Additional Mezzanine
Loan”) under Section 9.24(b) of the Loan Agreement, any Additional Mezzanine Lender, during any period in which either
Lender or Additional Mezzanine Lender exercises Control of any Required SPE, Borrower, Property Owner and/or the Property or the
Collateral under the loan documents or the documents evidencing the Additional Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, or (b) from and after
a mezzanine foreclosure or assignment-in-lieu thereof with respect to any Additional Mezzanine Loan.


 


1.2          Definition
of Guaranteed Obligations. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all obligations and liabilities
of Borrower pursuant to Section 9.19(b) and Section 9.19(c) of the Loan Agreement.


 




    	2



     


    

 


1.3          Nature
of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.
No exculpatory language contained in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any event or under any circumstances modify, qualify
or affect the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue
to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and,
if Guarantor is a natural person, after Guarantor’s death, in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s
estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs. It is the intent of Guarantor and Lender that the obligations and
liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (other than payment in full of
the Indebtedness) and that, subject to Section 1.1(b) above so long as any portion of the Indebtedness shall be outstanding,
such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence (including the
fact that at any time or from time to time the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced) that might,
but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor. This Guaranty may be
enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of any Note or any part thereof and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation
of all or any part of any Note.


 


1.4          Joint
and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Guarantor is comprised of more than one Person, the obligations
and liabilities of each such Person under this Guaranty shall be joint and several.


 


1.5          Guaranteed
Obligations Not Reduced by Set-Off. Subject to Section 1.1(b), 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 set-off,
offset, claim or defense (other than the defense of payment) of any kind or nature that Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person
has or may hereafter have against Lender or against payment of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such set-off,
offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.


 


1.6          No
Duty to Pursue Others; No Duty to Mitigate. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights that
Guarantor may have to require Lender) to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty,
including to (i) institute suit or otherwise enforce Lender’s rights, or exhaust its remedies, against Borrower or any other
Person liable on all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s
rights, or exhaust any remedies available to Lender, against any collateral that shall ever have been given to secure all or any
part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join Borrower or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations
in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce,
collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


1.7          Payment
by Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid or performed 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 other than notice to Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations payable by Guarantor, pay in lawful
money of the United States of America, the amount due thereon to Lender. Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest
at the Default Rate, unless such amounts already include interest at the Default Rate pursuant to the terms of the other Loan Documents.
Such demands may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different Guaranteed Obligations.


 




    	3



     


    

 


1.8          Application
of Payments. If, at any time, there is any Indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to Lender that is not guaranteed by Guarantor,
Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Lender from any
collateral or security held by Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed Indebtedness or obligations, with the remaining
amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.


 


1.9          Waivers.


 


(a)           Guarantor
hereby assents to all of the terms and agreements heretofore and hereafter made by Borrower with Lender (including the provisions
of the Loan Documents) and hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand on Borrower for payment or otherwise, filing of
claims, requirement of a prior proceeding against Borrower and all notices (other than notices expressly provided for hereunder

(iii)         any
amendment, modification, replacement or extension of any of the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents;

transfer, participation, componentization or other disposition of all or any part of the Loan or this Guaranty, or an interest
therein, or any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, or Mortgage Lender’s transfer, participation, componentization
or other disposition of all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, or an interest therein;


 


(vi)         the
sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure), or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, of any collateral
for the Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(vii)        the
sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan Collateral;


 


(viii)       any
protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or the occurrence of a breach or an Event of Default, or the intent to accelerate
or of acceleration in relation to any instrument relating to the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ix)          any

Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(x)           the obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement, pledge, assignment or other security for the Indebtedness or the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; or


 


(xi)          any
other action at any time taken or omitted to be taken by Lender or Mortgage Lender generally and any and all demands and notices
of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents and any other documents or
agreements evidencing, securing or relating to the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof.


 


(b)           Guarantor
hereby waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to, and covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time, insist
upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension,
marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that
may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of,
this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby further waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to, and covenants and agrees that
it shall not, set up or claim any defense, counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims), cross-claim, set-off, offset, right
of recoupment or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or
claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder, except for the defense of the actual timely performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations hereunder.


 


(c)           Guarantor
specifically acknowledges and agrees that the waivers made by it in this Section and in the other provisions of this Guaranty are
of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower.


 


1.10        Waiver
of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates, so long as the Indebtedness remains outstanding, any and all rights
it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights
of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower
or any other Person liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in
connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.


 


1.11        Reinstatement;
Effect of Bankruptcy. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from,
or on behalf of, Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is held to constitute a Preferential Payment (as
defined in Section 4.4), or if Lender is required to rescind, restore or return all or part of any such payment or pay the
amount thereof to another Person for any reason (including the insolvency, bankruptcy reorganization, receivership or other debtor
relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder), then the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the
payment rescinded, restored or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender,
and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment as
though such previous payment to Lender had never been made.

Change in Facts or Circumstances; Full and Accurate Disclosure. There has been no material adverse change in any condition,
fact, circumstance or event, and there is no fact or circumstance presently known to Guarantor that has not been disclosed to Lender,

knowledge with respect to the direct and/or indirect ownership of any shares of stock in NY REIT.


 


(p)           Compliance
with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Guarantor, and to Guarantor's knowledge, each Person
owning an interest in Guarantor: (a) is not currently identified on the OFAC List and (b) is not a Person with whom a citizen of
the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of any
Legal Requirement. Guarantor has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply such procedures throughout the term of the
Loan and the existence of this Guaranty, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct in all
material respects during the term of the Loan and the existence of this Guaranty. The representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 3.1(p) are made only to Guarantor’s knowledge with respect to the direct and/or indirect ownership
of any shares of stock in NY REIT.

All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.


 


3.2         Covenants.
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with Lender that, until payment in full of the Loan:


 


(a)          Throughout
the term of the Loan and so long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains outstanding, NY REIT shall maintain, on a consolidated
basis, minimum Net Worth of no less than $575,000,000, and minimum Liquidity of no less than $5,000,000, and failure to do so
at any time shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. For purposes of this Section, “Net Worth” means
total assets (excluding the value of NY REIT’s direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and excluding goodwill, patents,
trademarks, trade names, organization expense, treasury stock, unamortized debt discount and expense, deferred research and development
costs, deferred marketing expenses, and other like intangibles) less total liabilities (including accrued and deferred income
taxes and any reserves against assets), determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis; and “Liquidity”
means Lien-free cash balances maintained in the conventional forms of demand deposits, money market account deposits, monies held
in cash reserves not held by Lender and other cash equivalents reasonably acceptable to Lender.


 


(b)        As

filing of such financial statements with the SEC, NY REIT shall furnish to Lender, in an Excel spreadsheet file in electronic
format (which may be via an intralinks site at NY REIT’s sole cost and expense), or, in the case of predominantly text documents,
in Adobe pdf format, or in either case, in such other format as may reasonably be acceptable to Lender, annual consolidated financial
statements of NY REIT, including a balance sheet, together with related statements of operations and equityholders’ capital
and cash flow for such Fiscal Year, audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent public accounting
firm reasonably acceptable to Lender whose opinion shall be to the effect that such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and shall not be qualified as to the scope of the audit.


 


(c)        As
soon as available, and in any event within 45 days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter (excluding year-end) or, if earlier, promptly
following the filing of such financial statements with the SEC, NY REIT shall furnish to Lender, in an Excel spreadsheet file
in electronic format (which may be via an intralinks site at NY REIT’s sole cost and expense), or, in the case of predominantly
text documents, in Adobe pdf format, or in either case, in such other format as may be reasonably acceptable to Lender, quarterly
and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared for such fiscal quarter with respect to NY REIT, including
a consolidated balance sheet of NY REIT as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter, together with related statements of operations,
equityholders’ capital and cash flows for such Fiscal Quarter and for the portion of the Fiscal Year ending with such Fiscal
Quarter, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the same period for the preceding fiscal year, and containing
such other information as Lender may reasonably request, which statements and other information shall be accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate certifying that the same are true, correct and complete in all material respects. and were prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, subject to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end audit adjustments.

to explain or discuss any financial information provided by NY REIT to Lender under Sections 3.2(b) and (c).


 


(e)        Guarantor
will preserve and maintain its legal existence. Except as permitted under the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall not enter into any
transaction of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation, winding
up or dissolution) or sell all or substantially all of its assets unless, only with respect to a merger or consolidation or amalgamation,
or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (i) the surviving entity assumes the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents if not already a party to this Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity, and (ii) such transaction
does not result in a Prohibited Change of Control or violation of Section 3.2(a).

SUBORDINATION
OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS


 


4.1         Subordination
of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights. As used herein, the term “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”
shall mean any and all debts and liabilities of Borrower owed to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are
hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several,
joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account
or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have
been or may hereafter be created or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. Prior to the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights hereunder shall not include Guarantor’s
right to receive equity distributions from Borrower directly or indirectly from time to time.


 


4.2         Liens
Subordinate; Standstill. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, until the repayment in full
of the Indebtedness, Guarantor hereby agrees that (i) all Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and any and all liens, security
interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor’s
Conditional Rights shall be and remain, at all times, inferior and subordinate in all respects to the payment and performance
in full of the Indebtedness and any and all liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s
assets securing payment of the Indebtedness, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently
exist or are hereafter created or attach, (ii) prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Flow Sweep Period
or Event of Default, Guarantor shall not be entitled to, and shall not, receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower
or any other Person any amount pursuant to or in satisfaction of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and (iii) Guarantor
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, (x) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against
Borrower in respect of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights or (y) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take
steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation,
bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, security interests, collateral
rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor in respect of any of Guarantor’s Conditional
Rights. The foregoing shall in no way limit the complete waiver of subrogation rights contained in Section 1.10.


 




    	13



     


    

 



4.3          Claims
in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency
proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right and authority, either in its own name or as attorney-in-fact
for Guarantor, to prove its claim in any such proceeding and to take such other steps as may be necessary so as to establish its
rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian and payments that would otherwise be
payable pursuant to or in satisfaction of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights. Guarantor hereby assigns any and all
such payments to Lender.


 


4.4          Payments
Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any
funds, payment or claim that is prohibited by this Guaranty on account of any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights (for
avoidance of doubt the foregoing excludes equity distributions made by Borrower from time to time directly or indirectly so long
as no Event of Default is continuing) and either (i) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when any part of the Indebtedness
or the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid or performed in full or, (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid
to Guarantor, any payment made by, or on behalf of, Borrower to Lender is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Lender or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, whether
under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (such payment, a “Preferential Payment”), then such amount paid to Guarantor
shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied upon the Indebtedness
or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine. To the extent that any of the provisions of this Article 4 shall not be enforceable, Guarantor agrees that until
such time as the Indebtedness and the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired
during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, all of the Guarantor’s
Conditional Rights, to the extent not validly waived, shall be subordinate to Lender’s right to full payment and performance
of the Indebtedness and the Guaranteed Obligations and Guarantor shall not enforce any of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights
during such period.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


5.1          Lender’s
Benefit; No Impairment of Loan Documents. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns and nothing
contained herein shall impair, as between Borrower and Lender, the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Lender and
its successors and assigns shall have the right subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement to assign, in
whole or in part, this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to any Person and to participate all or any portion of the Loan,
including any servicer or trustee in connection with a Securitization.


 




    	14



     


    

 


5.2          Successors
and Assigns; Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its heirs, executors, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Guarantor may in no event delegate or transfer its obligations under, or be released from, this Guaranty, except in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Agreement and this Guaranty.


 


5.3          Costs
and Expenses. If Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately
upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder.
The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


5.4          Not
a Waiver; No Set-Off. The failure of any party to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right
or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against such party, nor excuse any other party
from its obligations hereunder, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise
of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due
date of any amount payable under this Guaranty, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment
when due of all other amounts due under this Guaranty or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such
other amount. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce any of the
Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations. No set-off, counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims), reduction, diminution
of any obligations or any defense (other than the defense of payment) of any kind or nature that Guarantor has or may hereafter
have against Borrower or Lender shall be available hereunder to Guarantor.


 


5.5          PRIOR
AGREEMENTS. THIS GUARANTY CONTAINS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THE GUARANTY DESCRIBED
HEREIN, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY AS THEY RELATE TO THE GUARANTY DESCRIBED HEREIN.


 


5.6          No
Oral Change. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor
consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed
by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, Guarantor, shall entitle Guarantor to any other or
future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.


 




    	15



     


    

 


5.7          Separate
Remedies. Each and all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents are
intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy herein or therein mentioned is intended to be in
exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender.


 


5.8          Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Guaranty.


 


5.9          Rules
