PPHL GUARANTY

 

      In consideration of, and as an inducement to, the execution of the above Share Purchase Agreement, we the undersigned, Park Plaza Hotels Limited (“PPHL” or “Guarantor”), hereby irrevocably guarantees to B.E.A. Hotels N.V., its successors and assigns (“Seller”), the fulfillment of Park Plaza Hotels Holdings Europe B.V.’s (“Buyer”) representations, warranties, obligations and undertakings under the above Share Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2010, entered into by all such parties in connection with the sale and transfer of all of Seller’s shareholdings to Buyer in Grandis, Riverbank, and Victoria and the transfer and assignment of the Seller’s Shareholder Loans (as each of such terms are defined in such share purchase agreement) (which share purchase agreement shall include all Ancillary Agreements relating hereto, including, without limitation, the Loan Agreements and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as defined in such agreement, as may be amended by the Parties from time to time; collectively, the “Agreement”).

 

Guarantor consents and agrees that: (1) this Guarantee is a direct and immediate liability of Guarantor; (2) this liability will not be contingent or conditioned upon Seller’s pursuit of any remedies against Buyer or any other party; (3) unless expressly specified otherwise in writing, this liability will not be diminished, relieved, or otherwise affected by any extension of time, credit, or other indulgence which Seller may from time to time grant to Buyer or to any other party, including, without limitation, the acceptance of any partial payment or performance or the compromise or release of any claims, none of which will in any way modify or amend this Guaranty, which will be continuing and irrevocable for so long as any performance is or might be owed under the Agreement by Buyer, and for so long as Seller have any cause of action against Buyer; (4) this Guaranty will continue in full force and effect for (and as to) any extension or modification of the Agreement and despite any transfer of any interest in the Agreement or Buyer in accordance with the Agreement; and (5) Guarantor waives notice of any and all renewals, extensions, modifications, amendments, or transfers.

 

Guarantor waives: (i) all rights to payments and claims for reimbursement or subrogation which it may have against Seller arising as a result (and only as a result) of its execution of and performance under this Guaranty; and (ii) notice of demand for payment of any indebtedness or non-performance of any obligations hereby guaranteed, protest and notice of default to Buyer or any party with respect to the indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligations hereby guaranteed, and any other notices to which Guarantor may be entitled.

 

Accordingly, Seller shall be entitled to take all steps to realize its rights under the Agreement, in whole or in part, from Guarantor independently from any other right or proceeding vis-à-vis Buyer, as if Guarantor was a party to such representations, warranties, obligations and undertakings instead of Buyer. Additionally, Seller shall have no requirement to seek or exhaust remedies from Buyer prior or as a precondition to seeking remedy and relief from Guarantor, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right or remedy available to guarantors under any law at any jurisdiction, requiring a creditor to initiate proceedings and/or exhaust remedies from a debtor prior or as a precondition to the pursue of remedies from a guarantor, if and to the extent such law applies to Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder.

 

Sections ‎13.2, ‎13.3, ‎13.4, ‎13.5, ‎13.6, ‎13.7, ‎13.8 and ‎13.9 of the Agreement are hereby expressly incorporated into and made a part of this Guaranty; provided, however, that, as incorporated into this Guarantee, all references therein to Buyer shall be read as referring to Guarantor.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges and accepts that those provisions shall apply to it with respect to this Guaranty.
