6.             Liens on Collateral.

 

(a)           Rights as Unsecured Creditors.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6, nothing in this Section 6 is intended or shall be deemed or construed to limit in any way the exercise by FCB against Company or its Property of any of FCB’s rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor of Company so long as such rights and remedies are not exercised in contravention of this Agreement, and, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, FCB may exercise at any time against Company or its Property FCB’s rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor of Company under the Second Lien Loan Documents and Applicable Law.  In the event FCB becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Gemino Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment Lien shall be deemed subordinated to the Liens of Gemino on the same basis as the other Liens of FCB are so subordinated to the Liens of Gemino under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Lien Subordination.  Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of the Liens on all or any part of the Collateral granted to Gemino and FCB, respectively, and notwithstanding the provisions of the UCC or any other Applicable Law or decision, or the terms or provisions of the Gemino Loan Documents or Second Lien Loan

 

5

 

Documents, respectively, or any other circumstance whatsoever, each of Gemino and FCB hereby agrees that (a) Gemino shall have a first, prior, senior and continuing Lien on all of the Gemino Collateral to secure the prompt and complete payment, performance and observance of all Gemino Debt, and (b) any Lien on all or any part of the Gemino Collateral now or hereafter held by FCB, regardless of when or how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be in all respects and for all purposes subject to, junior to and subordinate to all Liens on all or any part of the Gemino Collateral granted to or held by Gemino.  Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the respective definitions of “Gemino Debt” and “FCB Debt” set forth in Section 1 hereof, the relative priorities of the respective Liens described in this Section 6(b) shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of the Gemino Debt or FCB Debt, respectively, or by any action or inaction which Gemino, on the one hand, or FCB, on the other hand, may take or fail to take, in each case in respect of the Collateral.

 

(c)           Release of Gemino Collateral.  In the event Gemino releases or agrees to release any of its Liens on all or any part of the Gemino Collateral in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof at the request of Company or pursuant to any Enforcement Action or otherwise, Gemino agrees to notify FCB in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance thereof with such notice describing with reasonable specificity the portion of the Gemino Collateral to be sold or disposed of and further stating that such Gemino Collateral will be sold free and clear of the Liens of Gemino and FCB (each such notice a “Release Notice”).  FCB acknowledges, confirms and agrees that upon Gemino providing such a Release Notice to FCB in accordance with Section 18 hereof, FCB shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally to have consented to such sale or other disposition under the Second Lien Loan Documents and the Lien of FCB on such Gemino Collateral automatically and unconditionally shall be deemed to be, and shall be, released and terminated contemporaneously with the release by Gemino of its Lien thereon.  FCB agrees that no further act or documentation shall be necessary to evidence the release and termination by FCB of such Lien and the delivery of the Release Notice to FCB and the release by Gemino of its Lien on the Gemino Collateral shall be prima facie evidence of FCB’s release and termination of its Lien upon such Gemino Collateral.  In the event that Gemino reasonably requests FCB to execute and deliver any formal release or termination of FCB’s Lien upon such Gemino Collateral, FCB agrees to execute the same forthwith.  Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of this Section 6(c), in the event that Gemino releases its Liens on the Gemino Collateral in connection with the Payment in Full of the Gemino Debt, FCB shall not be obligated to release its Liens (nor be deemed to release its Liens as contemplated above) on any Gemino Collateral remaining after giving effect to the Payment in Full of the Gemino Debt (and any sale, transfer or other disposition of Gemino Collateral occurring in connection therewith).

 

(d)           Perfection.  Gemino, on the one hand, and FCB, on the other hand, shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of their respective Liens on each item constituting Collateral.  The provisions of this Section 6(d) are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the holders of Gemino Debt and the holders of FCB Debt and shall not impose on any such Person any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any applicable order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any Applicable Law.

 

6

 

(e)           Notice of Liens.  FCB and Gemino each acknowledge that this Agreement shall constitute notice of their respective interests in the Collateral under and for any purpose such a notice may be required by the UCC.

 

7.             Management of Gemino Collateral.  Until the Payment in Full of the Gemino Debt, and both in and outside of a Proceeding, the holders of Gemino Debt (or any representative thereof) shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Gemino Debt and the Gemino Loan Documents with respect to all Gemino Collateral and to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder and with respect thereto, in each case in the exercise of their business judgment and sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Gemino Collateral, to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, foreclose upon, collect, exercise rights or remedies with respect to, dispose of, or liquidate any Gemino Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with any of the foregoing and to exercise all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC, and FCB shall not take or seek to take any such action.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, FCB waives any and all rights to direct the method or challenge the appropriateness of any action by any holder of Gemino Debt (or any representative thereof) in connection with, and any right to object to, a strict foreclosure with respect to any Gemino Collateral, waives any and all rights of redemption and hereby consents to each holder of Gemino Debt (or any representative thereof) dealing in all respects with the Gemino Collateral as if there were no Liens on the Gemino Collateral securing FCB Debt.

 

8.             Proceedings.

 

(a)           Covenants of FCB.  In the event of any Proceeding involving Company, FCB agrees that it will:

 

(i)            not object to, contest or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to, contesting or opposing), and waives any right to object to, contest or oppose, any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any part of the Gemino Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims of FCB under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other law applicable to such Proceeding if Gemino has consented to such sale, transfer or disposition;

 

(ii)           (A) at the request of Gemino, challenge, contest or otherwise object to any use of cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing under Sections 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise that is challenged, contested or otherwise objected to by Gemino and (B) not challenge, contest or otherwise object to (or support any other Person in challenging, contesting or otherwise objecting to) in any manner (1) any use of cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing under Sections 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise that is consented to or provided by Gemino, (2) any request by Gemino for “adequate protection” under Sections 361, 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or its equivalent) or (3) any objection by Gemino to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a Gemino’s claim of lack of adequate protection;

 

(iii)          not assert (or support any other Person in asserting) in any manner any right it may have to adequate protection of its interest in any Gemino Collateral absent written consent or direction of Gemino; provided, that (A) if Gemino is granted adequate

 

7

 

protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral in connection with use of cash collateral or any debtor-in-possession financing under Sections 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, FCB may seek adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien, if granted, will be subordinate to the Liens securing the Gemino Debt and any such debtor-in-possession financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the FCB Debt are so subordinated under this Agreement, and (B) in the event Gemino consents to the request by FCB to seek adequate protection in respect of its FCB Debt and such adequate protection request is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then FCB agrees that Gemino may seek and obtain, and FCB hereby consents to the granting of, a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Gemino Debt and for any debtor-in-possession financing provided by Gemino and to any other Liens granted to Gemino as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the FCB Debt are subordinated under this Agreement.  If and to the extent any such additional or replacement Liens are insufficient to provide adequate protection of the interests of FCB, any claim of FCB under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be subordinate in right of payment to any claim of Gemino consistent with this Agreement;

 

(iv)          immediately segregate and turn over to Gemino any adequate protection of its interest in any Gemino Collateral that it receives, directly or indirectly, in any Proceeding for application to the Gemino Debt owed to Gemino, other than adequate protection of the type described in clause (iii) above;

 

(v)           not seek (or support any other Person seeking) to have the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar stay under any other Applicable Law) lifted, vacated or modified with respect to any Gemino Collateral without the prior written consent of Gemino; provided, that, in the case of this clause (v), if Gemino seeks such aforementioned relief, FCB hereby irrevocably consents thereto and shall join in any such motion or application seeking such relief if requested by Gemino;

 

(vi)          (A) not object to, contest or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to, contesting or opposing) in any manner an election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by Gemino and (B) and does expressly waive any claim it may now or hereafter have arising under, in connection with or out of the election by Gemino of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(vii)         not assert or enforce, at any time when any Gemino Debt exists that has not been Paid in Full, any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Gemino Debt for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Gemino Collateral;

 

(viii)        not object to, contest or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to, contesting or opposing) in any manner the exercise by Gemino of the right to “credit bid” Gemino Debt pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or other Applicable Law in any Proceeding; and

 

8

 

(ix)          not request (or cause or support any other Person to request) judicial relief, in any Proceeding or in any other court, that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit the lawful exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy otherwise available to Gemino or that would limit, invalidate, avoid, set aside or subordinate any senior Lien or Gemino Loan Document or grant the Liens of FCB equal ranking to the senior Liens of Gemino in or to the Gemino Collateral.

 

(b)           Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each of Gemino and FCB agrees not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to cause or support any other Person in challenging, avoiding or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any Proceeding, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Lien held by Gemino or FCB, as the case may be, on all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that nothing in this Section 8(b) is intended or shall be deemed or construed to limit in any way the ability of Gemino or FCB to enforce all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  As between Gemino, on the one hand, and FCB, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control even if part or all of the FCB Debt or Gemino Debt, as the case may be, or the respective Liens securing payment, observance and performance thereof are avoided, disallowed, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any Proceeding or otherwise.

 

9.             Marshalling; Additional Waiver.  FCB hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law any rights such Person may have under Applicable Law to assert the doctrine of marshalling or otherwise to require Gemino to marshal any Property of Company for the benefit of FCB.  FCB expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by Gemino of the subordination and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and all the notices whatsoever not specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or under the UCC in connection with any foreclosure on or sale of Property of the Company, and FCB expressly consents to reliance by Gemino upon the subordination and other terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.          No Liability.  Gemino shall not in any event be liable for: (a) any failure to prove the FCB Debt; (b) any failure to exercise any rights with respect thereto; (c) any failure to collect any sums payable thereon; or (d) any impairment or nonpayment of the FCB Debt that results, directly or indirectly, from the exercise by Gemino of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Gemino Credit Agreement, the other Gemino Loan Documents or under Applicable Law.

 

11.          Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Company or Gemino.  No right of Gemino to enforce subordination as provided in this Agreement will at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Company or by any act or failure to act by Gemino, or by any noncompliance by FCB or any agent thereof with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof with which any such Person may have or otherwise be charged.  Gemino may extend, renew, modify or amend any terms of the Gemino Debt or any security therefor or guaranty thereof and grant any waiver, release or consent in respect of, or release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with Company and its respective Affiliates, all without notice to or consent from FCB and without in any way impairing or affecting this Agreement.

 

12.          No Enforcement Action.  FCB hereby agrees that, so long as any Gemino Debt shall remain unpaid, or the Gemino Credit Agreement shall be in effect, FCB shall not commence (or

 

9

 

cause the commencement of) an Enforcement Action or join with or support any other creditor of Company (other than Gemino) in commencing an Enforcement Action.

 

13.          Action Against.  If FCB, in violation of this Agreement, shall commence an Enforcement Action against Company, Company may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, or upon failure to do so, Gemino is hereby irrevocably authorized to intervene and to interpose such defense or plea in its name or in the name of Company.  If FCB shall attempt to enforce, collect or realize upon any FCB Debt or any collateral, security or guarantees (if any) securing the FCB Debt in violation of this Agreement, Company may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain any such enforcement, collection or realization, or upon failure to do so Gemino may restrain such enforcement, collection or realization, either in its own name or in the name of Company.

 

14.          Further Assurances.  FCB and Company will at their expense and at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be reasonably necessary to reflect the priorities set forth herein and to protect any right or interest of Gemino granted hereunder or to enable Gemino to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, to amend financing statements to reflect that the Liens relating thereto are subordinate to the Liens of Gemino as provided herein.

 

15.          Modifications to the Second Lien Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Gemino Credit Agreement or any other applicable Gemino Loan Document, none of the Second Lien Loan Documents shall be amended or otherwise modified without obtaining the prior written consent of Gemino, or as otherwise permitted under the Gemino Credit Agreement, so as to provide for (a) the granting or obtaining of any collateral security or obtaining any Lien on any Gemino Collateral or (b) any other amendment or modification which would have a material adverse effect on the operations of any Company, Gemino’s security interests in the Gemino Collateral or the claims of Gemino.

 

16.          No Impairment of Company’s Obligations.  Subject to all of Gemino’s rights as provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, as between Company, on the one hand, and FCB, on the other hand, the obligation of Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the FCB Debt to FCB as and when all or any portion thereof shall become due and payable in accordance with the FCB Guaranty or prevent FCB, upon any default under the FCB Debt, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided therein or by Applicable Law.

 

17.          Entire Agreement, etc.  This Agreement embodies the whole agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified except in writing executed and delivered by the parties hereto.  The failure of Gemino to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other rights at any other time and from time to time thereafter, and such rights shall be considered as cumulative rather than alternative.  No knowledge of any breach or other non-observance by FCB of the terms and provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall constitute a waiver, nor a waiver of any obligations to be performed by FCB hereunder.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, this “Guaranty”) is made as of May 30, 2013 by NW 61ST NURSING, a Georgia limited liability company (“Guarantor”), in favor of GEMINO HEALTHCARE FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company  (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”).

 

W  I  T  N  E  S  S  E  T  H:

 

WHEREAS, Lender has made an extension of credit to ADK Bonterra/Parkview, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (hereinafter referred to, together with its successors and permitted assigns and any other Person from time to time joined to the Credit Agreement as a borrower, as “Borrowers” and individually referred to as a “Borrower”), under that certain Credit Agreement dated April 27, 2011 (as amended, restated, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Lender and the Borrowers;

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is an affiliate of each Borrower and will derive both direct and indirect economic benefit from the financial accommodations made to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Lender has required, as a condition to it entering into the Credit Agreement, that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and

 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Credit Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of any financial accommodations or extensions of credit (including, without limitation, any loan or advance by renewal, refinancing or extension of the agreements described hereinabove or otherwise) heretofore, now or hereafter made to or for the benefit of the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document executed pursuant to or in connection therewith, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                      Guaranty of Payment.  Guarantor hereby guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due (all such obligations, together with any extensions or renewals thereof, being hereinafter collectively called the “Liabilities”), and Guarantor further agrees to pay all expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Lender in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty.  The right of recovery against Guarantor is unlimited.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Guaranty to the contrary, it is intended that this Guaranty not constitute a “Fraudulent Conveyance” (as defined below).  Consequently, Guarantor agrees that if this Guaranty would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Guaranty to

 

 

constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guaranty shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.  For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law, order, ruling, decision or similar law, order, ruling or decision binding upon the undersigned of any foreign, federal, state, municipal or other government, or any department, commission, board, bureau, agency, public authority or instrumentality thereof or any court or arbitrator, as in effect from time to time.

 

2.                                      Primary Liability of the Guarantor.  Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Lender without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral.  This is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

 

3.                                      Acceleration of the Time of Payment of Amount Payable Under Guaranty.  Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the dissolution or insolvency of any Borrower or Guarantor, or the inability of any Borrower or Guarantor to pay debts as they mature, or an assignment by any Borrower or Guarantor for the benefit of creditors, or the institution of any proceeding by or against any Borrower or Guarantor alleging that such Borrower or Guarantor is insolvent or unable to pay debts as they mature, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, Guarantor will pay to the Lender forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by Guarantor if all of the Liabilities were then due and payable.

 

4.                                      Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty, and shall remain in full force and effect, subject to discontinuance as to Guarantor only upon actual receipt by the Lender of the indefeasible payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of the Credit Agreement (the date of such receipt, the “Termination Date”).

 

5.                                      Rescission or Return of Payment on Liabilities.  Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Lender to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor or any Borrower), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Lender, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Lender had not been made.

 

6.                                      Lender Permitted to Take Certain Actions.  The Lender may, from time to time (but shall not be obligated to), whether before or after any discontinuance of this Guaranty, at its sole discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions:  (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder; (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the Guarantor, with respect to any of the Liabilities; (c) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of Guarantor or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities; (d) release its security interest

 

2

 

in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property; and (e) resort to Guarantor for payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not the Lender (i) shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or (ii) shall have proceeded against any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities (all of the actions referred to in preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being hereby waived by Guarantor).

 

7.                                      Application of Payments.  Any amounts received by the Lender from whatsoever source on account of the Liabilities may be applied by it toward the payment of such Liabilities, and in such order of application, as the Lender may from time to time elect, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

8.                                      Subrogation.  Until such time as this Guaranty shall have been discontinued as to Guarantor and the Lender shall have received payment of the full amount of all of the Liabilities, no payment made by or for the account of Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor by subrogation or otherwise to any payment by the Borrowers or from or out of any property of the Borrowers, and Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy against the Borrowers or any property of the Borrowers by reason of any performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty.

 

9.                                      Waiver of Notice and Other Matters.  Guarantor waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by the Lender of this Guaranty; (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Liabilities; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever; and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Liabilities or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing.

 

10.                               Assignment of Liabilities.  The Lender may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Guaranty, without notice to Guarantor, assign or transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the Lender; provided, however, that, unless the Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, the Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guaranty, for the benefit of the Lender, as to those of the Liabilities which the Lender has not assigned or transferred.

 

11.                               Information Concerning Borrowers; No Reliance on Representations by Lender.  Guarantor hereby warrants to the Lender that Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Borrowers.  The Lender shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Guarantor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or

 

3

 

business of the Borrowers which may come into the Lender’s possession.  Guarantor has executed and delivered this Guaranty without reliance upon any representation by the Lender with respect to (a) the due execution, validity, effectiveness or enforceability of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing or relating to any of the Liabilities or any loan or other financial accommodation made or granted to the Borrowers; (b) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency or any property securing any of the Liabilities or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest in such property; or (c) the existence, number, financial condition or creditworthiness of other guarantors or sureties with respect to any of the Liabilities.

 

12.                               Waiver and Modifications.  No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Lender.

 

13.                               Obligations Under Guaranty.  No action of the Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Lender and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.  For the purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender, notwithstanding any right or power of the Borrowers or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.  The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Guarantor.  Guarantor acknowledges that there are no conditions to the effectiveness of this Guaranty.

 

14.                               Successors.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor.

 

15.                               Representations and Warranties.  Guarantor warrants that:

 

(a)                                 Guarantor has the full and absolute power to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)                                 The execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the performance by Guarantor of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with any provision of law or of any agreement binding upon Guarantor.

 

(c)                                  The Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

16.                               Reserved.

 

17.                               Law.  THIS GUARANTY, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED WITHOUT THE AID OF ANY CANON, CUSTOM OR RULE OF LAW REQUIRING CONSTRUCTION AGAINST THE DRAFTSMAN.

 

18.                               Warrant of Attorney to Confess Judgment.

 

(a)                                 Acknowledgment of Warrant of Attorney.  THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH SETS FORTH A GRANT OF AUTHORITY FOR ANY ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR.  IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH (OR DECISION NOT TO CONSULT) SEPARATE COUNSEL FOR GUARANTOR AND WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE LEGAL EFFECT HEREOF, GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS GUARANTOR HAS OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, OR ELSEWHERE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A HEARING PRIOR TO GARNISHMENT AND ATTACHMENT OF GUARANTOR’S BANK ACCOUNTS AND OTHER ASSETS.  GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINING A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT CLAUSE THAT GUARANTOR IS VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY GIVING UP ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, INCLUDING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, THAT GUARANTOR HAS OR MAY HAVE TO NOTICE AND A HEARING BEFORE JUDGMENT CAN BE ENTERED AGAINST GUARANTOR AND BEFORE GUARANTOR’S ASSETS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BANK ACCOUNTS, MAY BE GARNISHED, LEVIED, EXECUTED UPON AND/OR ATTACHED.  GUARANTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY SUCH GARNISHMENT, LEVY, EXECUTION AND/OR ATTACHMENT SHALL RENDER THE PROPERTY GARNISHED, LEVIED, EXECUTED UPON OR ATTACHED IMMEDIATELY UNAVAILABLE TO GUARANTOR.  IT IS SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GUARANTOR THAT THE PAYEE HAS RELIED ON THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY AND THE RIGHTS WAIVED BY GUARANTOR HEREIN IN CONSENTING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AS AN INDUCEMENT TO GRANT THE ACCOMMODATIONS OUTLINED HEREIN TO GUARANTOR.

5

 

BROUGHT HEREUNDER, AND/OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ENTER AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS THEN DUE AND OUTSTANDING UNDER THE TERMS OF THE NOTES, AND/OR UNDER THE TERMS OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, TOGETHER WITH ATTORNEYS’ FEES EQUAL TO FIFTEEN PERCENT (15%) OF THE FOREGOING SUMS THEN DUE AND OWING, BUT IN NO EVENT LESS THAN FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00) DOLLARS, ALL WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, WITHOUT STAY OF EXECUTION AND WITH RELEASE OF ALL PROCEDURAL ERRORS AND THE RIGHT TO ISSUE EXECUTIONS FORTHWITH.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT OF INQUISITION ON ANY REAL ESTATE LEVIED ON, VOLUNTARILY CONDEMNS THE SAME, AUTHORIZES THE PROTHONOTARY OR CLERK TO ENTER UPON THE WRIT OF EXECUTION THIS VOLUNTARY CONDEMNATION AND AGREES THAT SUCH REAL ESTATE MAY BE SOLD ON A WRIT OF EXECUTION; AND ALSO WAIVES ANY RELIEF FROM ANY APPRAISEMENT, STAY OR EXEMPTION LAW OF ANY STATE NOW IN FORCE OR HEREAFTER ENACTED.  IF COPIES OF THE NOTES AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT OF ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LENDER SHALL HAVE BEEN FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINALS THEREOF AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY, ANY PRACTICE OR USAGE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING.  THE AUTHORITY HEREIN GRANTED TO CONFESS JUDGMENT SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ANY SINGLE EXERCISE THEREOF, BUT SHALL CONTINUE AND MAY BE EXERCISED FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS THE LENDER SHALL FIND IT NECESSARY AND DESIRABLE AND AT ALL TIMES UNTIL FULL PAYMENT OF ALL AMOUNTS DUE HEREUNDER, AND/OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  THE LENDER MAY CONFESS ONE OR MORE JUDGMENTS IN THE SAME OR DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS FOR ALL OR ANY PART OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, AND/OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER JUDGMENT HAS THERETOFORE BEEN CONFESSED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION FOR THE SAME INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATIONS.  IN THE EVENT THAT ANY JUDGMENT CONFESSED AGAINST GUARANTOR IS STRICKEN OR OPENED UPON APPLICATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF GUARANTOR FOR ANY REASON, THE LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND EMPOWERED TO AGAIN APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR FOR ANY PART OR ALL OF THE INDEBTEDNESS DUE AND OWING TO THE LENDER HEREUNDER, AND/OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(c)                                  Warrant of Attorney to Confess Judgment — General Provisions.  IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN SECTION 18 HEREIN OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, IF COPIES OF THIS AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE THEREIN VERIFIED BY THE LENDER OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR THE LENDER TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT COPIES OF THIS INSTRUMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (AND SUCH COPIES SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT BY VIRTUE OF SUCH VERIFICATION), THEN IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL OF THIS INSTRUMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY STATUTE, RULE OF COURT OF LAW, CUSTOM OR

 

6

 

PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING.  GUARANTOR HEREBY RELEASES TO THE LENDER, ANYONE ACTING FOR THE LENDER AND ALL ATTORNEYS WHO MAY APPEAR FOR GUARANTOR, ALL ERRORS IN PROCEDURE REGARDING THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR JUDGMENTS BY CONFESSION OR OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THIS INSTRUMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ALL LIABILITY THEREFOR.  THE RIGHT TO ENTER JUDGMENT OR JUDGMENTS BY CONFESSION OR OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THIS INSTRUMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND TO ENFORCE ALL OF THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AFORESAID DOCUMENTS MAY BE EXERCISED BY ANY ASSIGNEE OF THE LENDER’S RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN THIS INSTRUMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN SUCH ASSIGNEE’S OWN NAME, ANY STATUTE, RULE OF COURT OR LAW, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING.

 

19.                               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 such 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.

 

20.                               Captions.  Section captions used in this Guaranty are for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

 

21.                               Waiver of Jury Trial.  GUARANTOR WAIVES, AND, BY ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY, THE LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO WAIVE, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (A) UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR (B) ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, AND GUARANTOR AGREES, AND, BY ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY, THE LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE, THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

 

22.                               Consent to Jurisdiction.  GUARANTOR AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS WHETHER ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR UNDERTAKING.  BORROWERS WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO IMPROPER VENUE AND FORUM NON-CONVENIENS TO PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT OR COURTS AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRANSFER FOR ANY REASON.  GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED TO THE ADDRESS OF THE APPROPRIATE PARTY SET FORTH HEREIN.
