I. Introduction

A guaranty is an agreement by a third party to satisfy certain obligations of a borrower under a promissory note or other documents evidencing or securing a loan. Several types of guaranties are customary in commercial real estate loan transactions. Most common are: (i) a full payment guaranty, (ii) a partial payment guaranty, (iii) a non-recourse carve-out guaranty, (iv) a guaranty of carry and operating deficits, and (v) a guaranty of completion.

II. Types of Guaranties

1.

Full Payment Guaranty. A full payment guaranty obligates the guarantor to pay the entire principal balance of the loan if the borrower defaults in making any required payment. Payment of some or all interest on the loan also may be guaranteed.

2.

Partial Payment Guaranty. A partial payment guaranty obligates the guarantor to pay either a fixed amount of principal or a certain percentage of the principal amount of a loan. As with a full payment guaranty, all, or part of the interest on the loan also may be guaranteed. Since, unlike a full payment guaranty, a partial payment guaranty does not guaranty repayment of the entire debt, a partial payment guaranty usually includes a guaranty of certain “nonrecourse carve-outs” as discussed below. An annotated form of Guaranty of Payment is attached as Exhibit A to this Article.

3.

Non-Recourse Carve-Out and Springing Recourse Guaranty. Nonrecourse loans almost without exception require a guaranty of “nonrecourse carve-outs” and “springing recourse” which obligates the guarantor to pay damages resulting from certain types of borrower defaults and to pay the entire loan for other defaults. An annotated form of Guaranty of Non-Recourse Carve-Outs is attached as Exhibit B to this Article.

(a)

Springing Recourse. In a springing recourse guaranty, liability to pay the entire loan “springs” into effect if any of the following occur:

(i)

the filing of a voluntary bankruptcy by the borrower or a guarantor;

====== 564 ======

(ii)

filing of a “collusive” bankruptcy against the borrower by a guarantor, the principals of the borrower or entities under the control of the borrower or a guarantor;

(iii)

the opposition by the borrower to a bankruptcy plan approved by the lender, or a contest to the validity of the lender’s liens in a bankruptcy proceeding;

(iv)

a prohibited transfer of the mortgaged property or of interests in the borrower, including the granting of liens on the mortgaged property or the transfer or encumbrance of ownership interests in the borrower or in entities that own or control the borrower [Guarantor Issues: (a) Cure periods for inadvertent transfers, (b) transfers of minor interests in borrower or upper tier entities and (c) non-consensual liens such as mechanics liens];

(v)

the contest or delay by the borrower of a foreclosure action [Guarantor Issues: Should actual damages apply instead of full recourse? Should there be a good faith exception?];

(vi)

the failure of the borrower to maintain its status as a single purpose entity or to comply with “separateness” covenants required by the loan documents [Guarantor Issues: Should full recourse only result if there is a substantive consolidation of the borrower’s assets with a debtor’s assets in a bankruptcy proceeding?]1; and

====== 565 ======

(vii)

fraud or material misrepresentation by the borrower or a guarantor [Borrower Issue: Should this be a damage issue or cause full recourse?].

(b)

Non-Recourse Carve-Outs Resulting in Damages. As opposed to springing recourse for full liability on the loan, the following matters usually result in liability only for damages:

(i)

fraud or material misrepresentation by the borrower (unless treated as a “springing recourse” event if not included as a springing recourse event);

(ii)

misapplication or improper use of rents or other operating revenues from the property following notice of a loan default (for instance, payment of project revenues to the borrower or its owner after a default) [Guarantor Issue: Permit the use of operating revenues to pay operating expenses of the project pursuant to certain lender controls.];

(iii)

failure to pay real estate taxes or other governmental impositions which create liens on the mortgaged property [Guarantor Issue: Include only if cash flow is sufficient to pay taxes but the borrower fails to pay them.];

(iv)

filing of mechanic’s liens against the mortgaged property [Guarantor Issue: Include only if cash flow is sufficient to pay liens but the borrower fails to pay them.];

(v)

failure to apply tenant security deposits as required by leases of the property;

(vi)

intentional waste, damage or destruction to the mortgaged property;

(vii)

misapplication of insurance proceeds in the event of a casualty;

(viii)

failure to pay operating expenses of the mortgaged property, to the extent cash flow is not sufficient and lender is notified [Guarantor Issue: Unfair to impose liability on guarantor for a failing project];

====== 566 ======

(ix)

payment of legal fees incurred by lender in enforcing the loan documents [Guarantor Issue: Limit to enforcement of the guaranty, not all loan documents.]; and

(x)

removal of personal property from the premises unless replaced with similar personal property.

Courts generally have upheld enforcement of non-recourse carve-out guaranties. In Bank of America, N.A. v. Freed, 983 N.E.2d 509 (Ill. App. 2nd 2012), the Court decided a case in which the guaranty provided for full recourse if the borrower contested an enforcement action by the lender. The borrower filed an interlocutory appeal of an order appointing a receiver. The Court found that the filing of the appeal constituted the contest of an enforcement proceeding and ruled that the guarantor was liable for the entire loan. See also 111 Debt Acquisitions Holdings, LLC v. Six Ventures, Ltd., 413 F.App’x 824 (6th Cir. 2011) where the Court ruled that the loan became fully recourse to the guarantor following a voluntary bankruptcy filing by the borrower, even though the guarantor had not authorized the filing.

However, in ING Real Estate Finance (USA) LLC v. Park Avenue Hotel, LLC, 907 N.Y.S.2d 437 (Sup. Ct. 2010), the Court found in favor of the guarantors on a claim by the lender that the borrower’s failure to pay a $278,759.20 real estate tax bill within thirty (30) days after notice from the lender rendered the entire $45,000,000 loan fully recourse to the guarantors. The Court decided that the disproportionate size of the loan compared to the minimal harm from the delay in paying the tax bill meant that the parties never could have intended that the delay in paying the tax bill would result in full recourse against the guarantors.

For an interesting analysis of the effect of the general rule that a debtor cannot contract away its rights to file a bankruptcy proceeding in a pre-petition forbearance agreement requiring the borrower to appoint a lender representative as a member whose vote was necessary for a bankruptcy filing, and whether the court’s holding could extend to “springing recourse” provisions in a guaranty triggered by a bankruptcy filing, see David R. Kuney’s recent blog on “Recent Bankruptcy Cases” discussing In Re Intervention Holdings, LLC et al., Debtors, 62 Bankr. CT. Dec. 179; 2016 WL 3185516.

4.

Guaranty of Carry and Operating Deficits. A guaranty of carry and operating deficits obligates the guarantor to pay the interest on the loan and all operating expenses of the mortgaged property to the

====== 567 ======

extent not paid by the borrower. Operating expenses include real estate taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance and repair costs, leasing commissions, utility costs, management fees, and similar expenses.

An issue often raised by guarantors of a loan on a failing project is whether the lender should be allowed to indefinitely delay or defer an enforcement action to gain control of the property through a foreclosure or receivership, while continuing to collect interest on the loan from the guarantor – or should the guaranty terminate if the borrower tenders the property to the lender. Negotiations usually center on the following possible cut-off dates:

(a)

The date the lender obtains title to or control of the property through foreclosure or a court ordered receivership;

(b)

The date the lender obtains title to the property through a negotiated agreement for deed in lieu of foreclosure; or

(c)

A certain time period after the date the borrower tenders a deed to the property to the lender, but the parties cannot agree on a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement (i.e. the borrower walks away from the property).

Lenders often agree to terminate a guaranty when the lender obtains title through a foreclosure or a receiver is appointed for the property (or within an agreed upon “hang over” time thereafter; but lenders rarely agree to terminate the guaranty solely on the tender of a deed. The lender may not want title to or possession of the property. The property might have serious environmental contamination or other physical problems, there might be litigation adversely affecting the property, or title could be defective. Most lenders will agree to accept a tendered deed only if certain “tender” conditions are met, customarily those that a lender would be willing to agree to in a negotiated agreement for deed in lieu of foreclosure. Exhibit C to this Article contains examples of such tender conditions.

5.

Guaranty of Completion. A guaranty of completion obligates the guarantor to complete construction of an unfinished project pursuant to the requirements of the loan documents, or, alternatively, if the lender elects to complete the project itself, to pay the costs of completion. An annotated Guaranty of Completion is attached as Exhibit D to this Article. Most completion guaranties also guaranty the borrower’s obligation to keep the loan “in balance” during construction. The loan is deemed not “in balance” if the costs to complete exceed the undisbursed loan proceeds.

====== 568 ======

Guaranties of completion usually permit the lender to elect either to require the guarantor to complete the project, or to itself complete the project and charge the completion costs to the guarantor. However, despite what guarantees may say, the actual remedies courts will grant are more limited. Generally, courts will not order specific performance of a completion guaranty but will limit the lender’s remedy to damages. Measuring damages can be difficult, and courts are not consistent in determining them. In Glendale Federal Sav. & Loan Assn. v. Marina View Heights Dev. Co., 135 Cal. Rptr. 802 (Ct. App. 1977), the lender contended that its damages were the cost of completing improvements the borrower failed to complete. The Court rejected the claim, deciding that “the proper measure of damages is the difference in value of the property with and without the promised performance since that is the contractual benefit of which the injured party is deprived.”2 Since the evidence in the case did not establish that the improvements, had they been completed, would have increased the value of the property, the Court found that the lender had not suffered any damages.

[Guarantor Issues: (a) Guarantors often ask for the right to complete, rather than allowing the lender to complete construction. That way, they have greater control over costs and expenses than if the lender completes. Guarantors also want the lender to fund any undisbursed loan proceeds to pay for construction (the guarantor usually will not have cash available to do so, and the lender always intended to fund the loan to pay for construction). Lenders usually are unwilling to fund loan proceeds to a guarantor unless all loan defaults are cured. Guarantors argue that having to cure payment defaults transforms the guaranty into a payment guaranty. (b) Should the guaranty cover future tenant improvements or only base building construction?]

III. Other Issues

1.

Joint and Several Liability. If there are multiple guarantors, issues may arise over whether the guaranteed obligations should be joint and several or several. Joint and several liability obligates each guarantor to be responsible for the entire guaranteed obligation. Several

====== 569 ======

liability limits each guarantor’s liability to a stated amount or a percentage of the obligation.

In many loan structures, the borrowing entity includes a development partner that contributes development services to the venture but little equity and an equity partner that provides most of the equity. The development partner is responsible for day-to-day development and operational matters. The equity partner is the source of funds for the project but is not involved in day-to-day matters. Lenders usually require guarantors from the developer partner and the equity partner, and ask for joint and several liability for all obligation, including non-recourse carve-outs. Equity partner guarantors often object to joint and several liability for any matters over which they do not exercise direct control. For instance, if the developer partner misapplies or steals project revenues or causes the borrower to breach other covenants in the loan documents, the equity partner will resist becoming personally liable for its partner’s actions.

In some cases, guaranties allocate liability for violations of nonrecourse carve-outs to the party whose acts result in the damage. Drafting such allocations can be challenging. Lenders do not want to be required to prove in court which partner actually caused the breach, preferring to require the guarantors to make payments under the guaranty and to litigate among themselves as to the allocation of liability.

2.

Upstream Guaranties. An “upstream” guaranty is one in which a subsidiary of a borrower guarantees its parent’s indebtedness. Depending on the specific facts, the validity of a so-called “upstream” guaranty could be challenged by unsecured creditors of the guarantor or by bankruptcy trustees as fraudulent conveyances or preferences under state or federal bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws. While an analysis of the creditor’s rights in upstream guaranties is beyond the scope of this article, structures with upstream guaranties should be analyzed with the issue in mind.

3.

The Negotiating Process. In practice, with the exception of loan agreements, guaranties usually are the most intensively negotiated loan documents in any transaction. Great care should be taken in negotiating and in drafting guaranties to ensure that the understandings of the parties are accurately reflected. Traditionally, guaranties were negotiated after lender’s counsel produced drafts of all the loan documents. Lately, however, it has become more common for

====== 570 ======

at least some guaranty provisions to be negotiated at the term sheet or commitment stage of a loan. In particular, sophisticated borrowers are seeking agreement on non-recourse carve-outs and various other matters early on in the loan process, and many lenders are willing to negotiate such provisions up front.

Clarity in term sheets and loan commitments is necessary to avoid misunderstandings once loan documents are drafted. For example, in connection with partial payment guaranties, term sheets often merely provide that the guaranty will cover a certain percentage or a specific dollar amount of the “loan.” Often, however, whether the guaranteed amount is inclusive of principal and interest, or whether the guaranty covers principal plus interest, is left unstated. Lending officers usually assume that the guaranty covers principal plus interest. Borrowers usually feel that their liability for principal, interest and all other costs is capped. Thus, the ambiguity in a term sheet can result in arguments when the loan is documented.

IV. Conclusion

As the law on guaranties evolves, counsel for lenders and guarantors must be cognizant of the effects on their clients and the risks and liabilities resulting from new developments. Many “standard” provisions in guaranties have evolved as a response to judicial decisions and have become boilerplate. As a result, much of the language in guaranties is frozen in time and considered sacrosanct. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Nevertheless, forms of guaranties must be reviewed on a regular basis to make sure they reflect current case law and statutory requirements.

ARTICLE 3
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Section 3.1 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of

====== 580 ======

collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation existing after any attempted revocation by Guarantor (and, with respect to any individual Guarantor, after Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). 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 Loan Documents.

Section 3.2 Guaranteed Obligation Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligation shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person (as defined below) against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligation, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligation (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligation) or otherwise. As used in this Guaranty, “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, trust, trustee, estate, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, real estate investment trust, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other form of entity.

Section 3.3 No Duty To Pursue Others. Lender has the right to require Guarantor to pay, comply with and satisfy the Guaranteed Obligation under this Guaranty, and shall have the right to proceed immediately against Guarantor with respect thereto. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, 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 Guaranteed Obligation against Guarantor, first to (i) institute a suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligation or any other Person or any of the collateral for the Loan, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any of the collateral for the Loan, (iii) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligation in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (iv) demonstrate that the collateral for the Loan provides inadequate security for the Loan, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.4 Payments; Interest on Amounts Payable Hereunder. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation shall not be punctually paid when due (taking into account any cure periods provided under the Loan Documents), whether on demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of

====== 581 ======

intention to accelerate the maturity, or notice of acceleration of the maturity, in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America, as an addition to the Guaranteed Obligation, interest on the Guaranteed Obligation (to the extent not paid when due) at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) until paid in full. Lender may apply all money received by Lender from Guarantor to payment or reduction of the Loan or reimbursement of Lender’s expenses, in such priority and proportions, and at such time or times as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

Section 3.5 Enforcement Costs. Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, on written demand by Lender, all costs incurred by Lender in collecting any amount payable under this Guaranty or enforcing or protecting its rights under the Loan Documents, in each case whether or not legal proceedings are commenced (the “Enforcement Costs”). [LIMIT TO COSTS OF ENFORCING GUARANTY – NOT ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS] Such fees and expenses shall be in addition to the Guaranteed Obligation and shall include, without limitation, costs and expenses of both in-house and outside counsel, paralegals and other hired professionals, special servicing fees (including portfolio management fees), court fees, costs incurred in connection with pre-trial, trial and appellate level proceedings (including discovery and expert witnesses), costs incurred in post-judgment collection efforts or in any Bankruptcy Proceeding to the extent such costs relate to the Guaranteed Obligation or the enforcement of this Guaranty. Amounts incurred by Lender shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until paid in full upon Lender’s written demand for payment. This Section 3.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.6 Cumulative Remedies. Guarantor acknowledges that, following an Event of Default, Lender is entitled to accelerate the Loan and exercise all other rights and remedies as have been provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and by law or in equity, including, without limitation, enforcement of this Guaranty. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy. No partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lender may release other security for the Loan, may

====== 582 ======

release any party liable for the Loan, may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to its rights under this Guaranty and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan. Lender will not be deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearances granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.

Section 3.7 Unimpaired Liability. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all obligations hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any or all of the Loan Documents or the existence of any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the liability here-under shall in no way be released, terminated, discharged, limited or impaired by reason of any of the following (whether or not Guarantor has any knowledge or notice thereof):

Lender’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights or remedies Lender may have under the Loan Documents, or under this Guaranty, or otherwise available at law or in equity, including

====== 583 ======

but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation, or (ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any collateral for the Loan, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation;

(f)

the release of Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter party to a Loan Document from performance, in whole or in part, under any of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, in each case whether by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act, or otherwise;

(g)

any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or any other Person;

(h)

(j)

the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Borrower or any other Person in any of the Loan Documents;

(m)

the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, exceeding the maximum amount permitted by law or violating any usury law;

(o)

the illegality or unenforceability of, or the inability to collect, the Guaranteed Obligation;

====== 584 ======

(p)

any of the Loan Documents being irregular or not genuine or authentic; or

(q)

any changes (whether directly or indirectly) in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower or the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower into or with any other Person.

Section 3.8 Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) all rights or claims of right to cause a marshalling of assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the collateral for the Loan before proceeding under this Guaranty against Guarantor or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Loan; (b) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation and contribution (the exercise of which are subject to the terms of this Guaranty); (c) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought by or against Guarantor; (d) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (e) presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or any other proof, notice or demand to which they might otherwise be entitled with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation; (f) all homestead or exemption rights against the Guaranteed Obligation and the benefits of any statutes of limitation or repose; and (g) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, including any election to proceed by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of any such collateral, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable or any election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor for reimbursement, or both.

Section 3.9 Waivers of Notice. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (a) any disbursements thereunder made by Lender to Borrower, (b) any amendment or extension of the Loan Documents, (c) 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 Property, (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default, (e) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, (f) the sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of the

Property, (g) any default by Borrower or any other Person under or with respect to the Loan Documents, or (h) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.10 Guarantor Bound by Judgment Against Borrower. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall be bound conclusively, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Lender against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents (wherever instituted) as if Guarantor was a party to such action even if not so joined as a party.

Section 3.11 Certain Consequences of Borrower’s Bankruptcy.

(a)

Any payment made on the Loan, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other Person, that is required to be refunded or recovered from Lender as a preference or a fraudulent transfer or is otherwise set-aside pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or under any Debtor Relief Laws shall not be considered as a payment made on the Loan or under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue with respect to any such payment, or be deemed reinstated, with the same effect as if such payment had not been received by Lender, notwithstanding any notice of revocation of this Guaranty prior to such avoidance or recovery or payment in full of the Loan, until such time as all periods have expired within which Lender could be required to return any amount paid at any time on account of the Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)

Until payment in full of the Obligations (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, which interest the parties agree remains a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under any applicable Debtor Relief Law generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right (but not the obligation) to file proof of claim and to vote in any other bankruptcy or insolvency action, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization, liquidation or other proposal for debt adjustment under Federal or state law.

Section 3.12 Subrogation and Contribution. Guarantor agrees that no payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall give rise to, and Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights Guarantor may now or hereafter have under

====== 586 ======

any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Lender) to assert, (a) any rights of subrogation against Borrower or the collateral for the Loan, or (b) any rights of contribution against any other guarantor of the Loan or any other Person, in each case unless and until Lender has received full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations. If the deferral of such rights shall be unenforceable for any reason, Guarantor agrees that (x) Guarantor’s rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against Borrower and the collateral for the Loan, and (y) such Guarantor’s rights of contribution against any such other guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against such other guarantor.

Section 3.13 Subordination of Debt to any Guarantor.

(a)

Any indebtedness of Borrower to any Guarantor, whether now or hereafter existing, whether 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 the person or persons 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, including, 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 Obligation, together with any interest thereon (collectively, “Guarantor Claims”), shall be and hereby is deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Loan. Further, until payment in full of the Obligations, Guarantor agrees that should the Guarantor receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any Guarantor Claim, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received (endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate) for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan and until so delivered to Lender, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Loan.

(b)

In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor 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

====== 587 ======

the Guaranteed Obligation, 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 payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligation, 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 Obligation, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligation which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

(c)

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 Guaranteed Obligation, regardless of whether such 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 creditor’s right Guarantor may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (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, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances held by Guarantor on assets of Borrower.

Section 3.14 Lender Transferees; Secondary Market Activities; No Transfer by Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender, without notice to Guarantor or Guarantor’s consent, may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder in connection with any sale or assignment of the Loan or servicing rights related to the Loan, grant participations in the Loan, transfer the Loan as part of a securitization in which Lender assigns its rights to a securitization trustee, or contract for the servicing of the Loan, and that each such assignee, participant or servicer shall be entitled to exercise all of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder. Guarantor further acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, ownership, purchase, participation or securitization of the Loan, including, without limitation, any rating agency rating the securities

====== 588 ======

issued in respect of a securitization or participation of the Loan, and any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property or with respect to Borrower or Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Guarantor irrevocably waives all rights Guarantor may have under applicable law, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including, without limitation, any right of privacy. Guarantor may not assign any of Guarantor’s rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder, or substitute another Person in lieu of Guarantor as the obligor hereunder.

Section 3.15 Financial Statements. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that (i) the financial statements of Guarantor previously submitted to Lender are true, complete and correct in all material respects, disclose all actual and contingent liabilities, and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact material to the financial statements submitted or this Guaranty, and (ii) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial statements from the dates thereof until the date hereof. Guarantor shall furnish to Lender:

Section 3.16 No reliance. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that (a) Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, ability to collect, or value of the collateral for the Loan; (b) Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligation in full without assistance or support of any other party, and (c) Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay the Guaranteed Obligation, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.17 Termination. This Guaranty shall be automatically discharged as of the date on which the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 3.18 Setoff. Guarantor hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, and Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Guarantor (any such notice hereby being expressly waived by Guarantor), to set off and apply, any and all accounts and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender, or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor (including all accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which a security interest would be prohibited by law), against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor due and payable under this Guaranty. Such security interest may be enforced, and such right of setoff may be

====== 590 ======

exercised, by Lender irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. Lender agrees promptly to notify a Guarantor after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or such setoff and application.

ARTICLE 3
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Section 3.1 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation existing after any attempted revocation by Guarantor [and, with respect to any individual Guarantor, after Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs).] 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 Loan Documents.

Section 3.2 Guaranteed Obligation Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligation shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person (as hereinafter defined) against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligation, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligation (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligation) or otherwise. As used in this Guaranty, “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, trust, trustee, estate, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, real estate investment trust, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other form of entity.

Section 3.3 No Duty To Pursue Others. Lender has the right to require Guarantor to pay, comply with and satisfy the Guaranteed Obligation under this Guaranty, and shall have the right to proceed immediately against Guarantor with respect thereto. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, 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 Guaranteed Obligation against Guarantor, first to (i) institute a suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligation or any other

====== 605 ======

person or any of the collateral for the Loan, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any of the collateral for the Loan, (iii) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligation in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (iv) demonstrate that the collateral for the Loan provides inadequate security for the Loan, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.4 Payments; Interest on Amounts Payable Hereunder. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation shall not be punctually paid when due (taking into account any cure periods provided under the Loan Documents), whether on demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, or notice of acceleration of the maturity, in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America, as an addition to the Guaranteed Obligation, interest on the Guaranteed Obligation (to the extent not paid when due) at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) until paid in full. Lender may apply all money received by Lender from Guarantor to payment or reduction of the Loan or reimbursement of Lender’s expenses, in such priority and proportions, and at such time or times as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

Section 3.5 Enforcement Costs. Guarantor hereby agrees to pay, on written demand by Lender, all costs incurred by Lender in collecting any amount payable under this Guaranty or enforcing or protecting its rights under the Loan Documents, in each case whether or not legal proceedings are commenced. [TRY TO LIMIT TO COSTS OF ENFORCING GUARANTY – NOT ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS] Such fees and expenses shall be in addition to the Guaranteed Obligation and shall include, without limitation, costs and expenses of both in-house and outside counsel, paralegals and other hired professionals, special servicing fees (including portfolio management fees), court fees, costs incurred in connection with pre-trial, trial and appellate level proceedings (including discovery and expert witnesses), costs incurred in post-judgment collection efforts or in any Bankruptcy Proceeding to the extent such costs relate to the Guaranteed Obligations or the enforcement of this Guaranty. Amounts incurred by Lender shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until paid in full upon Lender’s written demand for payment. This Section 3.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.6 Cumulative Remedies. Guarantor acknowledges that, following an Event of Default, Lender is entitled to accelerate the Loan

====== 606 ======

and exercise all other rights and remedies as have been provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and by law or in equity, including, without limitation enforcement of this Guaranty. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy. No partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lender may release other security for the Loan, may release any party liable for the Loan, may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to its rights under this Guaranty and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan. Lender will not be deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearances granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.

Section 3.7 Unimpaired Liability. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all obligations hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any or all of the Loan Documents or the existence of any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the liability hereunder shall in no way be released, terminated, discharged, limited or impaired by reason of any of the following (whether or not Guarantor has any knowledge or notice thereof):

(a)

Borrower’s or any other Person’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into any of the Loan Documents or any officers’ or representatives’ lack of authority or right to enter into Loan Documents on its behalf, or the obligations thereunder being ultra vires;

(b)

any modification, supplement, extension, consolidation, restatement, waiver or consent provided by Lender with respect to any of the Loan Documents including, without limitation, the grant of extensions of time for payment or performance;

(c)

the failure to record any Loan Document or to perfect any security interest intended to be provided thereby;

(d)

the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss, impairment or substitution, in whole or in part, of any collateral for the Loan, the failure to protect, secure or insure any such collateral, the acceptance of additional collateral for the Loan or the failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral for the Loan;

(e)

Lender’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights or remedies Lender may have under the Loan Documents or under this Guaranty or otherwise available at law or in equity, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation, or (ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any collateral for the Loan, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation;

(f)

the release of Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter party to a Loan Document from performance, in whole or in part, under any of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, in each case whether by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act, or otherwise;

(g)

any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or any other Person;

(h)

the termination or discharge of the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or the exercise of any power of sale or any foreclosure (judicial or otherwise) or delivery or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure;

(i)

the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights which Guarantor may have against Borrower, Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan or any other transaction;

(j)

the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Borrower or any other Person in any of the Loan Documents;

====== 608 ======

(k)

any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person;

(l)

any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or any other Person;

(m)

the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, exceeding the maximum amount permitted by law or violating any usury law;

(n)

any valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) by Borrower which render the Guaranteed Obligation wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower, whether arising in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise,

(o)

the illegality or unenforceability of, or the inability to collect, the Guaranteed Obligation;

(p)

any of the Loan Documents being irregular or not genuine or authentic; or

(q)

any changes (whether directly or indirectly) in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower or the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower into or with any other Person.

Section 3.8 Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) all rights or claims of right to cause a marshalling of assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the collateral for the Loan before proceeding under this Guaranty against Guarantor or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Loan; (b) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation and contribution (the exercise of which are subject to the terms of this Guaranty); (c) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought by or against Guarantor; (d) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (e) presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or any other proof, notice or demand to which they might otherwise be entitled with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation; (f) all homestead or exemption rights against the Guaranteed Obligation and the benefits of any statutes of limitation or repose; and (g) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, including any election to proceed by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of any such collateral, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable or any

====== 609 ======

election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor for reimbursement, or both.

Section 3.9 Waivers of Notice. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waive notice of (a) any disbursements thereunder made by Lender to Borrower, (b) any amendment or extension of the Loan Documents, (c) 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 Property, (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default, (e) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, (f) the sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of the Property, (g) any default by Borrower or any other Person under or with respect to the Loan Documents, or (h) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.10 Guarantor Bound by Judgment Against Borrower. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall be bound conclusively, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Lender against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents (wherever instituted) as if Guarantor was a party to such action even if not so joined as a party.

Section 3.11 Certain Consequences of Borrower’s Bankruptcy.

(a)

Any payment made on the Loan, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other Person, that is required to be refunded or recovered from Lender as a preference or a fraudulent transfer or is otherwise set-aside pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or under Debtor Relief Laws shall not be considered as a payment made on the Loan or under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue with respect to any such payment, or be deemed reinstated, with the same effect as if such payment had not been received by Lender, notwithstanding any notice of revocation of this Guaranty prior to such avoidance or recovery or payment in full of the Loan, until such time as all periods have expired within which Lender could be required to return any amount paid at any time on account of the Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)

Until payment in full of the Obligations (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, which

====== 610 ======

interest the parties agree remains a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under any applicable Debtor Relief Law generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such indebtedness to Lender, including the right (but not the obligation) to file proof of claim and to vote in any other bankruptcy or insolvency action, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization, liquidation or other proposal for debt adjustment under Federal or state law.

Section 3.12 Subrogation and Contribution. Guarantor agrees that no payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall give rise to, and Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights Guarantor 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, (a) any rights of subrogation against Borrower or any collateral for the Loan, or (b) any rights of contribution against any other guarantor of the Loan or any other Person, in each case unless and until Lender has received full and indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations. If the deferral of such rights shall be unenforceable for any reason, Guarantor agrees that (x) Guarantor’s rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against Borrower and the collateral for the Loan, and (y) such Guarantor’s rights of contribution against any such other guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against such other guarantor.

Section 3.13 Subordination of Debt to any Guarantor.

(a)

Any indebtedness of Borrower to any Guarantor, whether now or hereafter existing, whether 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 the person or persons 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, including, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of any Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligation, together with any interest thereon (collectively, “Guarantor Claims”), shall be and hereby is deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior

====== 611 ======

payment in full of the Loan. Further, until payment in full of the Obligations, Guarantor agrees that should Guarantor receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any Guarantor Claim, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received (endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate) for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan and until so delivered to Lender, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Loan.

(b)

In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor 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 Obligation, 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 payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligation, 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 Obligation, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligation which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

(c)

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 Guaranteed Obligation, regardless of whether such 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 creditor’s right they may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (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, mortgage,

====== 612 ======

deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances held by Guarantor on assets of Borrower.

Section 3.14 Lender Transferees; Secondary Market Activities; No Transfer by Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender, without notice to Guarantor or Guarantor’s consent, may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder in connection with any sale or assignment of the Loan or servicing rights related to the Loan, grant participations in the Loan, transfer the Loan as part of a securitization in which Lender assigns its rights to a securitization trustee, or contract for the servicing of the Loan, and that each such assignee, participant or servicer shall be entitled to exercise all of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder. Guarantor further acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, ownership, purchase, participation or securitization of the Loan, including, without limitation, any rating agency rating the securities issued in respect of a securitization or participation of the Loan, and any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property or with respect to Borrower or Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Guarantor irrevocably waives all rights Guarantor may have under applicable law, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including, without limitation, any right of privacy. Guarantor may not assign any of Guarantor’s rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder, or substitute another Person in lieu of Guarantor as the obligor hereunder.

Section 3.15 Financial Statements. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that (i) the financial statements of Guarantor previously submitted to Lender are true, complete and correct in all material respects, disclose all actual and contingent liabilities, and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact material to the financial statements submitted or this Guaranty, and (ii) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial statements from the dates thereof until the date hereof.

Section 3.16 No reliance. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that (a) Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, ability to collect, or value of the collateral for the Loan; (b) Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligation in full without assistance or support of any other party, and (c) Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay the Guaranteed Obligation, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.17 Termination. This Guaranty shall be automatically discharged as of the date on which the Obligations has been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 3.18 Setoff. Guarantor hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, and Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time

to time, without prior notice to Guarantor (any such notice hereby being expressly waived by Guarantor), to set off and apply, any and all accounts and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender, or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor (including all accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which a security interest would be prohibited by law), against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor due and payable under this Guaranty. Such security interest may be enforced, and such right of setoff may be exercised, by Lender irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. Lender agrees promptly to notify a Guarantor after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or such setoff and application.

This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantors and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation existing after any attempted revocation by Guarantors [and, with respect to any individual Guarantor, after a Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s estate and such Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs).] 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 Loan Documents.

Section 3.2 Guaranteed Obligation Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligation shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other Person (as defined below) against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligation, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligation (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligation) or otherwise. As used in this Guaranty, “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, trust, trustee, estate, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, real estate investment trust, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other form of entity.

Section 3.3 No Duty To Pursue Others. Lender has the right to require Guarantors to pay, comply with and satisfy the Guaranteed Obligation under this Guaranty, and shall have the right to proceed immediately against Guarantors, or any of them, with respect thereto. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantors hereby waive any rights which Guarantors may

====== 635 ======

have to require Lender), in order to enforce the Guaranteed Obligation against Guarantor, first to (i) institute a suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligation or any other Person or any of the collateral for the Loan, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any of the collateral for the Loan, (iii) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligation in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (iv) demonstrate that the collateral for the Loan provides inadequate security for the Loan, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.4 Payments; Interest on Amounts Payable Hereunder. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation shall not be punctually paid when due (taking into account any cure periods provided under the Loan Documents), whether on demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantors shall pay, immediately upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, or notice of acceleration of the maturity, in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America, as an addition to the Guaranteed Obligation, interest on the Guaranteed Obligation (to the extent not paid when due) at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) until paid in full. Lender may apply all money received by Lender from Guarantors to payment or reduction of the Loan or reimbursement of Lender’s expenses, in such priority and proportions, and at such time or times as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

Section 3.5 Enforcement Costs. Guarantors hereby agree to pay, on written demand by Lender, all costs incurred by Lender in collecting any amount payable under this Guaranty or enforcing or protecting its rights under the Loan Documents, in each case whether or not legal proceedings are commenced. [TRY TO LIMIT TO COSTS OF ENFORCING GUARANTY – NOT ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS] Such fees and expenses shall be in addition to the Guaranteed Obligation and shall include, without limitation, costs and expenses of both in-house and outside counsel, paralegals and other hired professionals, special servicing fees (including portfolio management fees), court fees, costs incurred in connection with pre-trial, trial and appellate level proceedings (including discovery and expert witnesses), costs incurred in post-judgment collection efforts or in any Bankruptcy Proceeding to the extent such costs relate to the Guaranteed Obligation or the enforcement of this Guaranty. Amounts incurred by Lender shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until

====== 636 ======

paid in full upon Lender’s written demand for payment. This Section 3.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligation.

Section 3.6 Cumulative Remedies. Guarantors acknowledge that, following an Event of Default, Lender is entitled to accelerate the Loan and exercise all other rights and remedies as have been provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and by law or in equity, including, without limitation enforcement of this Guaranty. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy. No partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to a Guarantor in any instance will not entitle such Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lender may release other security for the Loan, may release any party liable for the Loan, may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to its rights under this Guaranty and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan. Lender will not be deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearances granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.

Section 3.7 Unimpaired Liability. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that all obligations hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any or all of the Loan Documents or the existence of any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their liability hereunder shall in no way be released, terminated, discharged, limited or impaired by reason of any of the following (whether or not Guarantors have any knowledge or notice thereof):

(a)

(f)

the release of any of the Guarantors from performance, in whole or in part, under this Guaranty or the release of Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter party to a Loan Document from performance, in whole or in part, under any of Loan Document to which each is a party, in each case whether by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act, or otherwise;

(g)

(p)

any of the Loan Documents being irregular or not genuine or authentic; or

(q)

any changes (whether directly or indirectly) in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower or the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Borrower into or with any other Person.

Section 3.8 Waivers. Guarantors hereby waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) all rights or claims of right to cause a marshalling of assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the collateral for the Loan before proceeding under this Guaranty against Guarantors (or any of them) or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Loan; (b) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation and contribution (the exercise of which are subject to the terms of this Guaranty); (c) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought by or against them; (d) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (e) presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or any other proof, notice or demand to which they might otherwise be entitled with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation; (f) all homestead or exemption rights against the

Section 3.9 Waivers of Notice. Guarantors agree to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waive notice of (a) any disbursements thereunder made by Lender to Borrower, (b) any amendment or extension of the Loan Documents, (c) 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 Property, (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default, (e) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, (f) the sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of the Property, (g) any default by Borrower under or with respect to the Loan Documents, or (h) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.10 Guarantors Bound by Judgment Against Borrower. Guarantors agree that they shall be bound conclusively, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Lender against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents (wherever instituted) as if Guarantors were a party to such action even if not so joined as a party.

Section 3.11 Certain Consequences of Borrower’s Bankruptcy.

(a)

Any payment made on the Loan, whether made by Borrower or Guarantors or any other Person, that is required to be refunded or recovered from Lender as a preference or a fraudulent transfer or is otherwise set-aside pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or under any Debtor Relief Laws shall not be considered as a payment made on the Loan or under this Guaranty. Guarantors’ liability under this Guaranty shall continue with respect to any such payment, or be deemed reinstated, with the same effect as if such payment had not been received by Lender, notwithstanding any notice of revocation of this Guaranty prior to such avoidance or recovery or payment in full of the Loan, until such time as all periods have expired within

====== 640 ======

which Lender could be required to return any amount paid at any time on account of the Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)

Until payment in full of the Obligations (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, which interest the parties agree remains a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantors notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in cases under any applicable Debtor Relief Law generally), Guarantors agree not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors and hereby assign such indebtedness to Lender, including the right (but not the obligation) to file proof of claim and to vote in any other bankruptcy or insolvency action, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization, liquidation or other proposal for debt adjustment under Federal or state law.

Section 3.12 Subrogation and Contribution. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment by him, her or it under this Guaranty shall give rise to, and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights he, she or it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating him, her or it to the rights of Lender) to assert, (a) any rights of subrogation against Borrower or any collateral for the Loan, or (b) any rights of contribution against any other guarantor of the Loan or any other Person, in each case unless and until Lender has received full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations. If the deferral of such rights shall be unenforceable for any reason, such Guarantor agrees that (x) his, her or its rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against Borrower and the collateral for the Loan, and (y) his, her or its rights of contribution against any such other guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against such other guarantor.

Section 3.13 Subordination of Debt to Guarantors.

(a)

Any indebtedness of Borrower to any of the Guarantors, whether now or hereafter existing, whether 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 the person or persons 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 any of the Guarantors,

====== 641 ======

including, without limitation, all rights and claims of any Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of any Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligation, together with any interest thereon (collectively, “Guarantor Claims”), shall be and hereby is deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Loan. Further, until payment in full of the Obligations, Guarantors agree that should any of the Guarantors receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any Guarantor Claim, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the form received (endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate) for application on account of, or as security for, the Loan and until so delivered to Lender, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Loan.

(b)

In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving any of the Guarantors as debtors, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights here-under and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantors hereby assign such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligation, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any of the Guarantors and which, as between Borrower and any of the Guarantors, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligation, such Guarantor or Guarantors, as applicable, 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 Obligation, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligation which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

(c)

Guarantors agree 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 Guaranteed Obligation, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantors or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender,

====== 642 ======

Guarantors shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right they may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (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, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances held by Guarantors on assets of Borrower.

Section 3.14 Lender Transferees; Secondary Market Activities; No Transfer by Guarantors. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that Lender, without notice to Guarantors or Guarantors’ consent, may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder in connection with any sale or assignment of the Loan or servicing rights related to the Loan, each grant of participations in the Loan, a transfer of the Loan as part of a securitization in which Lender assigns its rights to a securitization trustee, or a contract for the servicing of the Loan, and that each such assignee, participant or servicer shall be entitled to exercise all of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder. Guarantors further acknowledge that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, ownership, purchase, participation or securitization of the Loan, including, without limitation, any rating agency rating the securities issued in respect of a securitization or participation of the Loan, and any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property or with respect to Borrower or Guarantors, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Guarantors irrevocably waive all rights they may have under applicable law, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including, without limitation, any right of privacy. Guarantors may not assign any of their rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder, or substitute other Persons in lieu of themselves as the obligors hereunder.

Section 3.15 Financial Statements. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that (i) the financial statements of such Guarantor previously submitted to Lender are true, complete and correct in all material respects, disclose all actual and contingent liabilities, and fairly present the financial condition of such Guarantor, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact material to the financial statements submitted or this Guaranty, and (ii) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial statements from the dates thereof until the date hereof. Guarantors shall furnish to Lender:

Guarantors agree and acknowledge that (a) Guarantors are not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, ability to collect, or value of the collateral for the Loan; (b) each Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligation in full without assistance or support of any other party, and (c) Guarantors have not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief,

Section 3.18 Setoff. Guarantors hereby grant to Lender a security interest in, and Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Guarantors (any such notice hereby being expressly waived by Guarantors), to set off and apply, any and all accounts and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender, or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Guarantors (including all accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which a security interest would be prohibited by law), against any and all of the obligations of Guarantors due and payable under this Guaranty. Such security interest may be enforced, and such right of setoff may be exercised, by Lender irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. Lender agrees promptly to notify Guarantors after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or such setoff and application.

Violations of a single purpose entity and “separateness” covenants are usually springing recourse events resulting in full recourse against the guarantor. This is because if a breach of these covenants could result in a consolidation of the borrower’s assets with those of an affiliate entity which could jeopardize the lender’s position. Courts have found guarantors fully liable for even minor violations of separateness covenants in situations no one expected. In Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Cherryland Mall Ltd. P’ship, 295 Mich. App. 99, 812 N.W.2d 799 (2011), rev’d on remand, 300 Mich. App. 361, 835 N.W.2d 593 (2013), the bank made a nonrecourse loan. The court held that the borrower’s default in making loan payments resulted in a breach of a separateness covenant requiring the borrower to maintain adequate capital, for its business and the court imposed full recourse on the loan to the guarantor. The ruling was upheld on appeal, a result that few attorneys expected. (Michigan subsequently enacted the Non-Recourse Mortgage Loan Act (the “NMLA”) which prohibits such covenants [characterized in the NMLA as “post-closing solvency covenants”] from being applied to create full recourse against guarantors.) Most lenders now agree that a violation of a separateness covenant will not result in full recourse to a guarantor, unless the violation results in the consolidation of the borrower’s assets with those of another entity in a bankruptcy.
