Provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this paragraph that the obligations of Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, prepayment fee (as defined in the Note), if any, and interest on the Note and any other payments due under the Note,







 




  





5











  











 


the Mortgage and the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and then only to the extent of such payment. Without limiting any of the other terms or provisions hereof, it is understood and agreed that in order to hold Guarantor liable hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lender or any other holder of the Note to resort in any manner or form for payment to Borrower, to any other person, firm or corporation, their properties or estates. All rights of Lender or any other holder of the Note hereunder may be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of the Note, whether with or without the consent of or notice to Guarantor or to Borrower.


 


Guarantor also agrees that to the extent Borrower makes any payment on the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, Borrower’s obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of  Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to Lender from any source, that Lender thereafter pays, returns or refunds in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other person.


 


To the extent permitted by law,  Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against Borrower, Guarantor or any other person or any security held by Lender, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such security by one or more foreclosure sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid, and Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any other person or any such security whether resulting from such election by Lender or otherwise. Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other person or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including without limitation any intervention or omission by Lender) of any obligation or liability, either in whole or in part, of Borrower to Lender. Guarantor understands and agrees that if all or any part of any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lender is secured by real property, Guarantor shall be obligated and liable for the full amount of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure of such real property by trustee sale, judicial sale or any other reason impairing the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower.


 


SECTION 2.3.                                 ADDITIONAL WAIVERS OF GUARANTOR.


 



	
  

	
(a)

	
Financial Condition of Borrower.   Guarantor acknowledges that this is a continuing Guaranty Agreement and that Guarantor expressly promises to pay and perform each







 







 




  





6











  











 


and every one of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Guarantor is fully aware of the operating history of the Premises and the status of the Borrower Collateral. Guarantor delivers this Guaranty Agreement based solely upon Guarantor’s independent investigation of Borrower’s financial condition, and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further information concerning Borrower’s financial condition. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is now and, during the term of  this Guaranty Agreement, will be responsible for being fully aware of the financial condition of Borrower, the Borrower Collateral and the Premises. Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed in a contract of continuing guaranty, which risk includes, but is not limited to, the possibility that Borrower’s financial condition or its ability to pay its debts as they mature has deteriorated.


 



	
  

	
(b)

	
Waiver of Notice. Guarantor hereby waives: (i) presentment and protest, and waives notice of presentment, protest, dishonor, non-payment, non-performance and any similar notice, and waives any delay thereto, with respect to the Loan Documents or any instruments or documents at any time held by Lender in connection with this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ii) notice of extension, modification, refunding, amendment, addition or supplement to, deletion or departure from, or breach of any of the terms of the Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty Agreement) or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement that may be made relating hereto or thereto; (iii) notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, any compromise, release, consent, or other action or inaction with respect to the collateral granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents or any of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; (iv) notice with respect to any exercise or non- exercise by Lender, or any right, power, or remedy under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any security, lien, deposit, pledge, or guaranty held in connection with the liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Documents; (v) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement and notice that credit has been extended by Lender  in reliance on Guarantor’s guaranty of the obligations of Borrower; (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender whether or not the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement is affected; (vii) to the extent Guarantor may lawfully do so, any defense based upon any statute or rule 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; and (viii) all defenses which Borrower may now or hereafter have to the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents which could otherwise be asserted by Guarantor in any defense (other than payment) of any kind which  Guarantor may now or hereafter have with respect to any of the Loan Documents, any other guaranty, or any other collateral securing the obligations under the Loan Documents.







 



	
  

	
(c)

	
Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Guarantor until one year and one day from the payment and full satisfaction of all amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents and the performance and payment of the Indebtedness Guaranteed, hereby







 


 




  





7











  











 



	
  

	
expressly waives with respect to Borrower and any other person, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to indemnification, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to  an  accommodation  party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other person in connection with or as a result of Guarantor’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff  to any action commenced against Guarantor by Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or by Lender or by any other person.







 








	
  

	
Guarantor agrees that to the extent that such claims are not subordinated, by operation of law or otherwise, such claims of Guarantor are hereby subordinated as a claim against Borrower or any of its assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no payment with respect to any such indebtedness, claim or liability will be made or received while any portion of the obligations under the Loan Documents remains due and unpaid, and if any such payment is received by Guarantor, it shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and then promptly paid over to Lender for application to the payment  of the obligations under the Loan Documents.







 








	
  

	
(d)

	
Independent Obligations, and Waivers. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of and are not co-extensive with the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Lender against Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Borrower or Borrower is joined in any such action or actions and Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement  or  non- enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations. Any cause of action that Lender may have against Guarantor shall accrue upon the date Lender makes demand on Guarantor for payment of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any statute of limitations, any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption and homestead now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the Constitution or laws of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, both as to itself and to all of its property, real and personal, affecting the liabilities under the Loan Documents or otherwise and expressly agrees that the running of a period of limitation on, or any delay or omission in, Lender’s action against Borrower or in Lender’s enforcement of remedies against Borrower, the collateral granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or any security interest or lien held for  the liabilities under the Loan Documents shall not exonerate or affect Guarantor’s absolute obligation to pay and perform in full Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.








	
  

	
 



















  





8











  






 







 



	
  

	
(e)

	
Bankruptcy and Related Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any defense arising as a result of Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any defense based on any borrowing or grant or a security interest under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (iii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (iv) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, (v) the avoidance of any lien in favor of Lender for any reason, and (vi) any objection to or defense arising as a result of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Borrower or any other person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the liabilities hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.







 



	
  

	
(f)

	
Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Guarantor warrants  and agrees that each of the waivers and consents of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty Agreement are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, Lender or any other person or against the Premises or the Borrower Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of the waivers or consents herein is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
