(e)
    any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
(f)
    any duty on the part of a Landlord to disclose to Guarantor any facts a Landlord may now or hereafter know about a Tenant, regardless of whether a Landlord has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of a Tenant and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Obligations or indebtedness hereby guaranteed;

If for any reason whatsoever a Tenant now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Guarantor, such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate to such Tenant's obligation to the applicable Landlord to pay as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease the guaranteed Obligations. During any time in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Master Lease and not been cured within any cure period provided for therein (and provided that Guarantor has received written notice thereof), Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness that does not recite that such claim is expressly subordinate to the applicable Landlord's rights and remedies under the Master Lease.

    As used herein, the term “Guaranty Default” shall mean one or more of the following events (subject to applicable cure periods):

(b)
    Upon the occurrence of a Guaranty Default, the applicable Landlord shall have the right to bring such actions at law or in equity, including appropriate injunctive relief, as it deems appropriate to compel compliance, payment or deposit, and among other remedies to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees in any proceeding, including any appeal therefrom and any post judgment proceedings.

Guarantor’s failure to meet the requirements of the Coverage Ratio under this Guaranty or any other guaranty provided in favor of Landlord or an Affiliate thereof with respect to any Affiliate Lease (each, an “Affiliate Guaranty”), shall not constitute a Guaranty Default (as defined in this Guaranty and each Affiliate Guaranty) or an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Lease and each Affiliate Lease) provided that (a) the actual Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.10 to 1.00, and (b) Guarantor, collectively, delivers a letter of credit (in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to Landlord (or an Affiliate thereof) equal to the Default Shortfall Amount (defined below) within 10 days following delivery of the Officer’s Certificates and Financial Statements for the applicable fiscal quarter.
