E. Guarantor is a direct or indirect owner, as applicable, of Borrowers and will benefit from the Loan made or to be made by Lenders to Borrowers.

NOW THEREFORE, to induce Lenders to enter into the Loan Agreement and to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees and agrees as follows:

1. GUARANTY.

1.1 Guaranty of Obligations. Subject to the terms of Section 2 hereof, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter,


of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of every kind and nature of Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising under or in any way relating to the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Loan and all other Obligations, howsoever created, incurred or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, and howsoever owned, held or acquired by Lender (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include (a) all Expenses, including the cost and expenses of outside legal counsel and all court costs and costs of appeal incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in collecting any amount due the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty or in prosecuting any action against any Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (collectively, the “Enforcement Costs”), and (b) all interest, fees, costs and expenses due the Administrative Agent or any Lender after the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Borrower regardless of whether such amounts can be collected during the pendency of the bankruptcy proceedings.

1.2 Continuing Guaranty; Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be primary obligations, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, abatement, deferment or defense based upon any claim that Guarantor may have against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person other than payment of the Obligations.

It is the purpose and intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, subject to Section 2 below. Additionally, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be reduced as a result of any partial payments of principal by Borrowers, or from any realization on or proceeds of Collateral upon foreclosure, or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, or any other exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents.

2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, the maximum liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty is limited to the applicable Maximum Guaranty Amount (as defined below) plus all costs, fees and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Lender that are actually incurred in connection with enforcing this Guaranty. Furthermore, Guarantor’s individual liability under this Guaranty shall not be reduced by any amounts credited against the Loan on account of the purchase price or consideration paid for any Property at a foreclosure sale (or pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure) except to the extent that the amounts so credited at such sale (or pursuant to such deed in lieu of foreclosure) reduce the principal balance to an amount less than the then-current maximum liability amount.

5. GUARANTOR’S WAIVERS.

5.1 Guarantor waives (a) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any Borrower from any cause other than full payment and performance of those obligations of Borrowers which are guaranteed hereunder; (b) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners, managers, members or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrowers, Guarantor or any principal of any Borrower or Guarantor, any defect in the formation of any Borrower, Guarantor or any principal of any Borrower or Guarantor; (c) any defense based upon the application by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrowers to Administrative Agent or intended or understood by Administrative Agent or Guarantor; (d) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent even though that election of remedies (such as a nonjudicial foreclosure, if available and/or permitted, with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation) has or may have destroyed Guarantor’s rights

 

- 4 -


of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of any applicable state law or otherwise; (e) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s failure to disclose to Guarantor any information concerning Borrowers’ financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Borrowers’ ability to pay and perform their obligations under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or upon the failure of any other principals of any Borrower to guaranty the Loan; (f) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (g) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Administrative Agent may have against any Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent until such time as all amounts due to Lenders have been paid in full; (i) counterclaim, set-off, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; and (j) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof.

5.2 Guarantor further waives any and all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrowers’ debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that: (a) Administrative Agent may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Borrower; (b) if Administrative Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower, then (i) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (ii) Administrative Agent may collect from Guarantor even if Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from such Borrower. The foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrowers’ debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses being waived by Guarantor include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon deficiency limitation or anti-deficiency, redemption or other similar rights, if any. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor further expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any and all rights and defenses (other than the defense of full payment and performance of those obligations of Borrowers which are guaranteed hereunder), including, without limitation, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under applicable law until Borrowers’ obligations to Administrative Agent and Lenders are fully performed and discharged. Finally, Guarantor agrees that the payment or performance of any act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

5.3 The obligations of Guarantor shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person or its or their respective estates in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar statute, or from the decision of any court. Guarantor waives any defense based upon Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute or any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness until all obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents have been fully discharged.

The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative

Agent, all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Administrative Agent receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereunder are paid or performed, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) full payment and performance of all of the indebtedness and obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

10. ADDITIONAL, INDEPENDENT AND UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection and cannot be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any indebtedness referenced in Section 1 hereof arising or created after any attempted revocation hereof. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be in addition to and shall not limit or in any way affect the obligations of Guarantor under any other existing or future guaranties unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing. This Guaranty is independent of the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may bring a separate action to enforce the provisions hereof against Guarantor without taking action against any Borrower or any other party or joining any Borrower or any other party as a party to such action.
