Likewise, Guarantor waives any and all rights and defenses available to Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits under (i) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a (which Section, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Guarantor’s liability after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty and the fair market value of the property or interests sold at such nonjudicial foreclosure sale), (ii) California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580b and 580d (which Sections, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Lender’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale, respectively), and (iii) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726 (which Section, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment could be obtained for a deficiency).

Section 2.02                            Specific Waivers Related to Real Estate. Without limiting any other provisions of this Guaranty:

 

(i)                                     Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower. If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower:

 

(A)                              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;
 
(B)                                Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower; (This waiver being acknowledged by Guarantor to be an unconditional and irrevocable wavier of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the Debt is secured by real property); and
 

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

(ii)                                  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

 

Section 2.03                            Consent to Jurisdiction. Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction to the aforesaid courts. Guarantor hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack personal jurisdiction over the Guarantor, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents brought in any of the aforementioned courts, that such courts lack personal jurisdiction over the Guarantor. Guarantor further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by, in addition to such other methods as are permitted under applicable laws, the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Guarantor at its address for notice

Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 2.04                            Waiver of Objection to Venue; Forum Non Conveniens. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents brought in the courts referred to in Section 2.03 above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

Section 2.05                            Waiver of Right to Jury Trial; Waiver of Statute of Limitations. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY SUITS, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, ACTIONS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THE NOTE, THE SECURITY DOCUMENT, THIS GUARANTY AND ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE LOAN EVIDENCED AND SECURED THEREBY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF) OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND REPRESENTS TO THE OTHER THAT THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SUITS, CLAIMS COUNTERCLAIMS, ACTIONS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY. GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH AGREES THAT THIS PARAGRAPH CONSTITUTES WRITTEN CONSENT THAT TRIAL BY JURY SHALL BE WAIVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING AND AGREE THAT GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO FILE THE SECURITY DOCUMENT WITH THE CLERK OR JUDGE OF ANY COURT IN WHICH ANY SUCH SUIT, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING MAY BE PENDING AS STATUTORY WRITTEN CONSENT TO WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

(i)                                     at any time, when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such amount, and in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect, any property or monies of Guarantor in the possession or control of Lender;

Section 3.02                            Annual Financial Reports of Guarantor. Guarantor agrees to furnish to Lender, prior to [March 31st] of each year an annual financial statement for Guarantor certified as true and correct by Guarantor and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; provided that, following an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, such financial statements, at Lender’s request, shall be provided to Lender and audited by an independent certified public accountant satisfactory to Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees with Lender that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full.

Section 5.03                            Survival of Obligations. If all or any portion of the Liabilities are paid, 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 is required to be repaid as described in Section 5.02 above or such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state laws, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, and (b) full payment and performance of all of the Obligations.
