Exhibit 10.6


 





GUARANTY


 


Introductory Note.
This Guaranty may be used for one or more Guarantors or with respect to one or more Debtors. If there is only one Guarantor or
only one Debtor, then any reference herein to “the Guarantors”, “any Guarantor”, “each Guarantor”
or the like, or to “the Debtors”, “any Debtor”, “each Debtor” or the like, shall be understood
to refer to the Guarantor or to the Debtor, respectively. All capitalized terms in this Guaranty are defined in Section 19.


 


Preamble. Each of the undersigned
(each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) expects to derive direct and/or indirect benefits
from the Bank’s giving or continuing financial accommodations to any of the Debtors. The Bank is unwilling to give or continue
financial accommodations to the Debtors without the guaranty of payment of each of the Guarantors as set forth in this Guaranty.
It is a condition precedent to the Bank’s giving or continuing these financial accommodations to any of the Debtors that
the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Bank. In consideration of the premises and in consideration
of financial accommodations given or to be given or continued to any of the Debtors by the Bank, and in order to induce the Bank
to give or continue financial accommodations to any of the Debtors, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the Guarantors, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally represent
and warrant to, and covenant and agree with, the Bank as follows:


 


1.
Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally (a) guarantee to the
Bank the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) by the Debtors of all Obligations,
and (b) agree to pay to the Bank all Additional Liabilities immediately when due or on demand. This Guaranty is the unlimited or
limited (as set forth on the signature page below), primary obligation of the Guarantors. The Bank may enforce this Guaranty against
any Guarantor and/or any Credit Enhancement provided by any Guarantor without any prior or contemporaneous enforcement of any of
the Obligations against any other Obligated Party or Credit Enhancement.


 


2.
Guaranty Absolute. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and not of
collection, and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all amounts payable under this Guaranty, notwithstanding
that at any time and from time to time (i) the Debtors may be free from any Obligations or (ii) the Obligations may exceed the
amount of the Liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder, and regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any of the Obligations
were or are incurred, and regardless of whether any financial accommodation resulting in an Obligation was or shall be given or
continued by the Bank in contemplation of this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives all Defenses and Claims with respect to this Guaranty
and/or any Credit Enhancement provided by such Guarantor. All Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in
reliance hereon.


 


Without limiting any other provisions hereof,
none of the following (whether occurring prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to the date hereof) shall give rise to a Defense
or Claim with respect to this Guaranty and/or any Credit Enhancement provided by any Guarantor, and each Guarantor waives all such
Defenses and Claims that might otherwise arise therefrom, and the joint and several liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:


 


(a)
the death, incompetence or disability of any Obligated Party, or any law (including, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any statute of limitations), regulation, order, stay, injunction or prohibition now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
that would give rise to a Defense or Claim available to any Obligated Party, or any other fact or circumstance that may result
in or constitute a Defense or Claim available to any Obligated Party;


 


(b)
any lack of genuineness, validity, legality, regularity or enforceability of any of the Liabilities or of any Document (including
but not limited to any determination that any Obligated Party (i) was not a duly organized and validly existing Entity or (ii)
lacked the authorization or capacity to incur any of the Liabilities);


 


(c)
any payment made by, or amount received or collected by the Bank from, any other Person in respect of any of the Liabilities
or of any other Debt of any Debtor;


 


(d)
any revocation, early termination, rejection, disaffirmance, cessation, impairment or suspension for any cause whatsoever
of (i) any of the Liabilities or (ii) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Liabilities or of any Document,
except that any Guarantor may deliver to the Bank a written notice of revocation signed by such Guarantor, which may revoke such
Guarantor’s Liabilities (but not of any other Guarantor) under this Guaranty, provided that such notice shall not affect
such Guarantor’s Liabilities with respect to any Nonrevocable Obligations, and such Guarantor waives all rights to revoke
any Liabilities with respect to any Nonrevocable Obligations and shall remain fully liable with respect thereto;


 


(e)
any loss or non-perfection of, or any inability to foreclose or otherwise realize on, any Credit Enhancement;


 


(f)
if a Guarantor is a partnership or joint venture, the death, incompetence, retirement or withdrawal of one or more partners
or joint venturers, or the accession of one or more new partners or joint venturers, or the dissolution (by operation of law or
otherwise) of such Guarantor;


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(g)
any Transfer or purported Transfer by any Guarantor of any of the Liabilities;


 


(h)
any action or omission referred to in Section 4 or Section 5;


 


(i)
any event or events, whether with or without the consent of, or notice to, any of the Guarantors (even if known to the Bank
or any of its Agents and not known to any of the Guarantors), which result or results in any change, whether or not material, in
(i) the business, assets, liability or financial condition of any of the Debtors, (ii) the identity of any of the Debtors (whether
by consolidation, merger, reorganization, change in form or structure, change in membership, change in control, change in management,
or otherwise), (iii) any relationship (whether business, financial, personal or otherwise) between any of the Debtors and any of
the Guarantors or (iv) the degree of risk assumed by any of the Guarantors hereunder.


 


3.
Payment. Any payment made under this Guaranty shall be paid to the Bank at its offices in New York City, or
at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing, in immediately available funds in the Currency in which the applicable
Liabilities are denominated.


 


4.
Waiver. Without limiting any other provisions of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) notice of any Obligation to which this Guaranty may apply, (c) notice or proof of reliance by
the Bank upon this Guaranty, (d) promptness, (e) diligence, (f) presentment, (g) demand for payment, (h) notice of dishonor or
nonpayment of, or with respect to, any of the Obligations, (i) notice of any legal action or proceeding or any demand or any other
action against, or any other notice to, any Obligated Party, and (j) any requirement that the Bank exhaust any right or take any
action against or with respect to any other Obligated Party or any Credit Enhancement.


 


5.
Permitted Bank Actions and Omissions. As to each Guarantor, the Bank and its Agents may, without giving rise
to any Defense or Claim, at any time upon or without any terms or conditions, in whole or in part, and without the consent of,
or notice to, any Obligated Party:


 


(a)

change, alter, amend, modify or waive any of the terms of any of the Liabilities or any Document;

 (i) sell, exchange, realize upon, foreclose, release or surrender, or fail so to do with respect to, or (ii) impair or
fail to take any steps necessary to care for, preserve, protect, secure, insure or obtain, or (iii) impair or fail to take any
steps necessary to perfect (including any failure to make any filing or recording, or the making or any improper filing or recording
of) any security interest or other rights in; or (iv) otherwise deal or fail to deal with, any Credit Enhancement or Subrogation
Rights in any manner and in any order; or(iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Obligated Party
or any other Person or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

change, whether or not material, relating to any of the Debtors or of any other Person, including but not limited to any of the
matters set forth in Section 2(i).


 


6.
Bank Statements. Any statement, certificate, notice or the like submitted by the Bank to any of the Debtors
and/or to any of the Guarantors, setting forth the amount or amounts of any or all of the Obligations and/or Liabilities, shall
be prima face evidence thereof, and each Guarantor agrees to be bound thereby absent manifest error.


 


7.
Expenses; Currency; Interest. Each of the obligations set forth in this Section shall be a separate obligation
payable on demand, with respect to which the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable to the Bank as an alternative or
additional cause of action or claim.


 


(a)
The Guarantors shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against all Expenses.


 


(b)
If the Bank does not receive payment of any of the Liabilities in any amount of Currency when due, the Guarantors shall
pay the equivalent of such amount in the Currency (including but not limited to the lawful Currency of the United States) in which
such Liabilities were originally due, provided that the Bank may, at its option, accept payment of an equivalent amount
(computed at the Bank's selling rate for such Currency at the place where such amount is payable as at the time such payment is
made) in any other Currency. The receipt by the Bank of any amount in respect of any of the Liabilities in a Currency other than
that in which such amount was originally due, whether pursuant to a judgment or arbitration award or pursuant to the provisions
of this Guaranty or any Agreement or otherwise, shall not discharge the Guarantors with respect to any of such Liabilities except
to the extent that on the first day on which the Bank is open for business immediately following such receipt, the Bank shall be
able, in accordance with normal banking practice, to purchase the Currency in which such amount was due with the Currency received.
Notwithstanding any such judgment or arbitration award, the Guarantors shall in any event indemnify the Bank against all losses
sustained and all costs incurred by it in making any such purchase of Currency.

(p)
Neither the Bank nor any of its Agents has represented or indicated that the Bank will not enforce any provision of any

9.
Contribution; Subordination; Subrogation.


 


(a)
If and to the extent that any Guarantor (the “Paying Guarantor”) makes payment in respect of this Guaranty,
then in furtherance and not limitation of any rights that the Paying Guarantor may have in law or equity, each other Guarantor
shall have an obligation, upon demand by the Paying Guarantor, to pay to the Paying Guarantor an amount equal to the quotient of
(x) the amount so paid by the Paying Guarantor, divided by (y) the total number of Guarantors.


 


(b)
All direct or indirect claims and rights (whether for moneys advanced, services performed or assets sold and delivered or
on account of any Subrogation Rights, whether for an indeterminate amount, a sum certain or a contingent claim), now existing or
hereafter arising which any Guarantor may have against any other Obligated Party shall be subject and subordinate to the prior
payment in full to the Bank of all of the Liabilities. Each Guarantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Bank, effective upon
demand by the Bank for payment by such Guarantor of any amount hereunder, all such claims and rights and any proceeds thereof,
and agrees that the Bank may, in its discretion, make and present in any bankruptcy or other proceeding such proofs or claims with
respect thereto as the Bank may deem expedient or proper and may vote such proofs or claims in any such proceeding. Each Guarantor
shall deliver upon demand by the Bank such additional documents as the Bank may request to evidence such subordination, assignment
and transfer, including without limitation duly executed assignments. At any time when all the Liabilities shall not have been
paid in full, each Guarantor shall (i) as trustee for the Bank, enforce all claims and rights against any other Obligated Party
or any Credit Enhancement and collect all sums due from any other Obligated Party or any Credit Enhancement or with respect to
any of the Liabilities, (ii) hold any amounts received on account thereof in trust for the benefit of the Bank, and (iii) pay all
such amounts immediately to the Bank to be applied to the Liabilities, together with interest on all such amounts from the date
of such receipt until paid to the Bank at the Applicable Interest Rate, without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability
of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.


 


(c)
Until all of the Liabilities shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor shall have no Subrogation Rights, and waives any
right to enforce any right or remedy which the Bank has or may hereafter have against any other Obligated Party or in or against
any Credit Enhancement.


 


10.
Reinstatement. If (a) claim is ever made on the Bank for repayment or recovery of any amount received in payment
or on account of any of the Obligations, and (b) the Bank repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree,
order or award of any court, administrative body, arbitration panel or the like or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such
claim effected by the Bank with any such claimant (including any Obligated Party), then any such judgment, decree, order, award,
settlement or compromise shall be binding upon all of the Guarantors, notwithstanding the release or cancellation of any Document,
and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount
had never originally been received by the Bank.


 


11.
Agreements, Representations, Amendments and Waivers. No Agreement or representation by the Bank, and no amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure therefrom by any of the Guarantors shall be effective
unless in writing and duly signed by at least two duly authorized officers of the Bank, and any such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Bank to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under any Document or otherwise, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
In the case of any Agreement (including but not limited to any Commitment) given or made by the Bank to any Person or Persons (which
may or may not include one or more of the Guarantors), (a) such Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any of the Guarantors
to whom such Agreement was not given or made by the Bank (the “Other Guarantor” or “Other Guarantors”),
(b) none of the Other Guarantors shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary thereof, (c) the Bank shall have absolutely no
responsibility or liability to any of the Other Guarantors with respect to any breach thereof or failure by the Bank to abide by,
or comply with, any such Agreement, and (d) each of the Other Guarantors waives and gives up any rights that each such Other Guarantor
may have, on account of any such Agreement or any such breach or failure, to assert any Defense or Claim against the Bank.


 


12.
Cumulative Rights; Reservation of Rights; Arms’ Length Transaction. The rights and remedies herein provided
to the Bank are in addition to, and are not exclusive or in substitution for, any rights or remedies available to the Bank at law
or in equity or under any other Agreement or other document which any Person (including but not limited to any Guarantor) may have
executed or may hereafter execute in favor of or for the benefit of the Bank, all of which are cumulative and may be exercised
by the Bank in whole or in part from time to time. The Bank shall be deemed to have reserved its rights against each Guarantor
in connection with any settlement, compromise, discharge or release of any other Obligated Party or any Document. The joint and
several liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or limited by reason of any similar or dissimilar guaranty
or other Document executed in favor of the Bank by any Person, and this Guaranty shall be enforceable against each of the Guarantors
jointly and severally without regard thereto. This Guaranty represents an arms’ length transaction between the Guarantors
and the Bank. Each Guarantor agrees and consents that this Guaranty shall not be, and waives any right to require that this Guaranty
be, construed against the Bank on the ground that the Bank has prepared it.

(c)
take or cause to be taken any and all action that may be necessary or appropriate (to the extent legally permissible) to

or interfere with any Debtor’s performance thereof; and


 


(d)
not enter into any Agreement or purchase any interest in any of the Debtors or other Persons or take or refrain from taking
any other action as a result of or in reliance upon any Agreement, representation, warranty, statement, recommendation or information
made or purportedly made by or on behalf of the Bank or any of its Agents, whether express or implied, written or oral, direct
or indirect, or prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to the date hereof.


 


14.
Transfers; Successors and Assigns.


 


(a)
No Guarantor shall effect or attempt a Transfer of any of the Liabilities without the Bank’s prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and upon each Guarantor’s executors, administrators,
successors, assigns and Transferees (each of which shall be a “Guarantor” hereunder).


 


(b)
This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Bank and its successors, assigns and Transferees.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank may make a Transfer of any and all of the Liabilities and Documents to any other Person
without notice to or the consent of any of the Guarantors, and the Transferee shall thereupon become vested with all of the Bank’s
rights in respect thereof. The Bank is authorized to disclose to any prospective or actual Transferee any information that the
Bank may have or acquire about any Obligated Party and any information about any other Person submitted to the Bank by or on behalf
of any Obligated Party. Each Guarantor waives all defenses (except such defenses as may be asserted against a holder in due course
of a negotiable instrument) which each Guarantor may have or acquire against any Transferee who receives a Transfer of this Guaranty,
or any complete or partial interest in it, for value, in good faith and without notice that it is overdue or has been dishonored
or of any defense against or claim to it on the part of any Person.
