			NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			2.1    Guaranty of Obligation.  Subject to the terms hereof, (a) effective immediately upon the occurrence of a  Loan Obligations Trigger Event (and without any notice or further act or condition of any kind) and continuing at all times thereafter, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender (and its successors and assigns with respect to any interest in the Loan) the payment and performance of all Loan Obligations then outstanding or at any time thereafter incurred, as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise, and (b) effective immediately on the date hereof (and without any notice or further act or condition of any kind), Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall be liable to Lender (and its successors and assigns of an interest 
		

		 

		

			4

		

 

		in the Loan) for the payment and performance of all Carveout Obligations.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.
		

		
			2.2    Nature of Guaranty.  This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance, and is not a guaranty of collection.  This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor, and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after Guarantor’s dissolution (and in any such event, this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s successors and assigns).  The fact that, at any time, or from time to time, the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced, shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note, and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.  This Guaranty shall survive any reinstatement of the Loan.
		

		
			2.3    Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset.  The Guaranteed Obligations, and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because, or by reason, of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower (other than the defense of payment) or any other Person against Lender or against payment of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
		

		
			2.4    Payment by Guarantor.  If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount then due on the Guaranteed Obligations, to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein.  Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.  Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
		

		
			2.5    No Duty to Pursue Others.  It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) join Borrower or any other Person liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations.  Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment, extension, increase, waiver, consent or other modification of the Note, Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default or Loan Obligations Trigger Event, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of nonpayment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, except to the extent expressly required by the terms hereof, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.7    Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder.  All costs and expenses will accrue interest at the highest default rate in any instrument evidencing the Loan Obligations until payment is actually received by the Lender.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.8    Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization,  receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, then any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty, or credit, given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall be restored and remain in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Borrower’s indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Loan and, if and to the extent payable hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations, or Guarantor’s performance of such obligations, and then only to the extent of such performance; and that in the event of any such rescission or restoration by the Lender with respect to any payment as provided above in this paragraph, then to the extent of such rescission or restoration the Guaranteed Obligations shall also be restored and shall remain in effect.
		

		
			2.9    Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably defers, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and, if and to the extent payable hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations, all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower, or any other Person liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty.

			5.1    Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of any Person in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, or the occurrence of an event which would, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person, 
		

		 

		

			10

		

 

		any amount upon the Guarantor Claims, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and, if and to the extent payable hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			5.2    Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly, from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender.  Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full to Lender of the Loan and, if and to the extent payable hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
		

		
			5.3    Payments Held in Trust.  In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, then Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and Guarantor further agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over (or equitable or beneficial ownership of) the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
		

		
			5.4    Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any right it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps, or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding), to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower securing payment of the Guarantor Claims held by Guarantor.

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			2.1.Guaranty of Obligation.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord (and its successors and assigns) the payment of all Guaranteed Obligations, as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be released and this Guaranty shall 
		

		 

		

			2

		

 

		terminate and become of no force and effect upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations and the full satisfaction of all Obligations under the Loan and of the terms, provisions and conditions of Guarantor under this Guaranty, as evidenced by the execution and delivery by Lender of a satisfaction or assignment of the Mortgage, in accordance with the terms thereof
		

		
			2.2.Nature of Guaranty.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Guaranty is irrevocable, absolute and continuing, and the liability of Guarantor is coextensive with that of Tenant.  This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor, and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after Guarantor’s dissolution (and in any such event, this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s successors and assigns).  The fact that, at any time, or from time to time, the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced, shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Landlord with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.3.Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced.  The Guaranteed Obligations, and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Landlord hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because, or by reason, of (a) any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person against Lender or against payment of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise, (b) the assertion or the failure to assert by Landlord against Tenant of any of the rights or remedies reserved to Landlord pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; or (c) any non‐liability of Tenant under the Lease, whether by insolvency, discharge in bankruptcy, or any other defect or defense which may now or hereafter exist in favor of Tenant.
		

		
			2.4.Payment by Guarantor.  If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, upon demand by Landlord and without the necessity of any suit or proceeding on the part of Landlord of any kind or nature whatsoever against Tenant and without the necessity of any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance or non-observance or any other notice whatsoever, all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives, pay, in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount then due on the Guaranteed Obligations, to Landlord (or its successors or assigns) at Landlord’s address as set forth herein or as otherwise directed.  Such demand(s) may be made at any time after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Lease.  Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
		

		
			2.5.No Duty to Pursue Others.  It shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Tenant or others liable on the Lease or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) enforce Landlord’s rights against any security deposit, letter of credit or other collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, (c) enforce Landlord’s rights against any guarantor of the Lease, (d) join Tenant or any other Person liable on the Lease in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Landlord against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, or 
		

		 

		

			3

		

 

		(f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Landlord shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.6.Waivers.  Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Lease and the Loan Documents, and hereby expressly waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment, extension, increase, waiver, consent or other modification of the Lease, the Note, the Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of nonpayment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Landlord or Lender and, generally, except to the extent expressly required by the terms hereof, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Lease, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Lease, the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.7.Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Landlord, pay to Landlord all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Landlord’s rights hereunder.  All costs and expenses will accrue interest at the highest default rate in any instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations until payment is actually received by the Landlord.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			2.8.Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Landlord must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Landlord in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, then any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty, or credit, given to Guarantor by Landlord shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall be restored and remain in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Landlord and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Borrower’s indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations, or Guarantor’s performance of such obligations, and then only to the extent of such performance; and that in the event of any such rescission or restoration by the Landlord with respect to any payment as provided above in this paragraph, then to the extent of such rescission or restoration the Guaranteed Obligations shall also be restored and shall remain in effect.
		

		
			2.9.Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably defers, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations, all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Landlord), to assert 
		

		 

		

			4

		

 

		any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Tenant, or any other Person liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty.
		

		
			2.10.Tenant.  The term “Tenant” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Tenant or any interest in Tenant.
		

		
			2.11.Other Guaranties.  This Guaranty is separate, distinct and in addition to any liability or obligations that Tenant or any guarantor may have under any other guaranty or indemnity executed by Tenant or any guarantor in connection with the Lease.

			Article IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			To induce Lender to enter into the Note, Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and extend and maintain credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Landlord as follows:
		

		
			4.1.Benefit.  Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower, and is the owner of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect and substantial benefit from the Loan.
		

		
			4.2.Familiarity and Reliance.  Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of Borrower, and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Loan or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such information, or the financial condition of Borrower, the collateral or any other condition, as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.
		

		
			4.3.No Representation by Lender.  Neither Landlord, Tenant, Lender, nor any other Person on Landlord’s, Tenant’s or Lender’s behalf, respectively, has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.
		

		
			4.4.Guarantor’s Financial Condition.  As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is solvent and has, and will have, assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities fairly estimated) and debts, and has property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, as and when the same become due.
		

		
			4.5.Legality; Due Authorization; Enforceability.  The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, do not and will not contravene or conflict with Guarantor’s certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other governing documents or any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor.  This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject, as to enforceability, to general principals of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
		

		
			4.6.Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty.
		

		
			4.7.Survival.  All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

			Article V
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			5.1.Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Tenant to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Tenant thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of any Person in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Tenant (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, or the occurrence of an event which would, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Tenant or any other Person, any amount upon the Guarantor Claims, until the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations.
		

		
			5.2.Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Tenant as debtor, Landlord shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly, from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Landlord.  Should Landlord receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Tenant and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full to Lender of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Landlord to the extent that such payments to Landlord on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Landlord had not received dividends or payments, upon the Guarantor Claims.
		

		
			5.3.Payments Held in Trust.  In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, then Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Landlord an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and Guarantor further agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over (or equitable or beneficial ownership of) the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Landlord.
		

		
			5.4.Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Tenant’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Tenant’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed 
		

		 

		

			9

		

 

		Obligations, regardless of whether such liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Landlord presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Landlord, while this Guaranty is in effect, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any right it may have against Tenant, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps, or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding), to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Tenant securing payment of the Guarantor Claims held by Guarantor.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Article VI
COVENANTS
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			6.1.Financial Information.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that all financial statements of the Guarantor heretofore delivered to the Lender by or on behalf of the Guarantor are true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the respective dates of such financial statements.  No material adverse change has occurred in any financial condition reflected in any such financial statement since the date of such financial statement.
		

		
			6.2.Certificates.  The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that Guarantor shall, at any time and from time to time, within fifteen (15) days following written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement certifying that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there has been any modification, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modification) and containing such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.  Guarantor agrees that such certificate may be relied on by anyone holding or proposing to acquire any interest in the Property from or through Landlord or by any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of the Property of any interest therein.

No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor any consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing, and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.

			8.4.Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, then such provision shall be fully severable, and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty.
		

		
			8.5.Amendments and Waivers.  No term or provision of this Guaranty may be amended, waived or otherwise modified except pursuant an instrument in writing executed by the 
		

		 

		

			11

		

 

		party (or an authorized representative of the party) against whom enforcement of such amendment, waiver or modification is sought.
		

		
			8.6.Parties Bound; Assignment; Joint and Several.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided,  however, that Guarantor may not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.

			8.7.Headings.  Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.
		

		
			8.8.Recitals.  The “WHEREAS” introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Guaranty and shall be deemed to be represented and warranted by the Guarantor as prima facie evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein.
		

		
			8.9.Counterparts.  To facilitate execution, this Guaranty may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required.

			8.10.Rights and Remedies.  If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Tenant to Landlord, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, then such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Landlord hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Landlord may ever have against Guarantor.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH OF LANDLORD AND GUARANTOR, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
		

		
			8.13.No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Guaranty is solely between the Guarantor and the Landlord, and solely for the benefit of the Lender and any subsequent holder or holders of the Note, and nothing in this Guaranty, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Guaranty.
