GUARANTY
As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into the Lease Agreement, dated September 29, 2022 (the “Lease”), between PRIORITY FULFILLMENT SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, and CRP/AI FREEPORT PARKWAY OWNER, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as Landlord, PFSWEB, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the complete and timely performance of each obligation of Tenant (and any assignee) under the Lease, any extensions or renewals of and amendments to the Lease and to all new leases entered into by Landlord, its Affiliates, successors or assignees and Tenant, its Affiliates, successors, or assignees relating to space in the Project. This Guaranty is an absolute, primary, and continuing, guaranty of payment and performance (not collection) and is independent of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. Guarantor (and if this Guaranty is signed by more than one person or entity, each Guarantor hereunder) shall be primarily liable, jointly and severally, with Tenant and any other guarantor of Tenant’s obligations. Guarantor waives any right to require Landlord to (a) join Tenant with Guarantor in any suit arising under this Guaranty, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security given to secure Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, (c) exercise any rights under Landlord’s remedies pursuant to the Lease, (d) take any action pursuant to applicable forcible entry and detainer statutes, or (e) pursue or exhaust any other person (including Tenant) or any other remedy in Landlord’s power. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not exceed Tenant’s liability under the Lease. Further, any clauses providing limitation of liability, actions, payments or indemnities in favour of Tenant in the Lease shall apply to the Guarantor.
Until all of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord have been discharged in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Tenant. Landlord may, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time, compromise, extend, renew or otherwise modify any or all of the terms of the Lease by amendment, novation or otherwise (including a new lease, to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines any of the foregoing constitutes a new lease), or fail to perfect, or fail to continue the perfection of, any security interests granted under the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant elects to increase the size of the leased premises, extend or renew the lease term, or otherwise expand Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant’s execution of such lease documentation shall constitute Guarantor’s consent thereto (and such increased obligations of Tenant under the Lease shall constitute a guaranteed obligation hereunder); Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to consent thereto. Guarantor waives any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Landlord. Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and waives all notices of existence, creation or incurring of new or additional obligations from Tenant to Landlord. Guarantor further waives all defenses afforded guarantors or based on suretyship or impairment of collateral under applicable Law, other than payment and performance in full of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected by (a) the release or discharge of Tenant from, or impairment, limitation or modification of, Tenant’s obligations under the Lease in any bankruptcy, receivership, or other debtor relief proceeding, whether state or federal and whether voluntary or involuntary; (b) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceeding; or (c) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Tenant under the Lease, other than as a result of a default by Landlord.
Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (a) assign or transfer this Guaranty or any estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation of law, (b) permit any other entity to become Guarantor hereunder, or (c) if Guarantor is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Guarantor so as to result in a change in the current direct or indirect control of Guarantor; provided, Guarantor may assign this Guaranty to (i) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Guarantor, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as (A) Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and (B) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the Tangible Net Worth of Guarantor as of the date hereof, or (ii) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets if such entity's Tangible Net Worth after such acquisition is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the Tangible Net Worth of Guarantor as of the date hereof. In addition, if Tenant assigns the Lease to an entity having a Tangible Net Worth equal to or greater than the Tangible Net Worth of Guarantor as of the date hereof, Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty will not apply to any claims first arising from and after the date of such assignment.
Any and all remedies set forth in this Guaranty: (1) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (2) shall be cumulative, and (3) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.
