of the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents or Guarantors under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against a Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety except the actual payment or other discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection. Each Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of any other Loan Document, against such Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrower or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Property) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Borrower or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default or other notice or demand whatsoever (except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary in this Guaranty).

any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower, the Property or any part thereof, a Guarantor or any other Person;

(ii)

any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto;

(iii)

the sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in the Property or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, trustee sale or similar proceeding against Borrower or the Property or any interest therein;

(iv)

the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender’s nominee of the Property or any interest therein by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure;

(v)

the release of Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; or

(vi)

the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all

Amended and Restated Guaranty of Recourse Obligations – Page

Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof.

(c)

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise.

(d)

Lender may deal with Borrower and Affiliates of Borrower in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrower or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantors hereunder.

(e)

No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Loan Documents shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder, and Guarantors agree that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender’s consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications.

(f)

Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Guarantors. Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

(g)

No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantors to Lender in any other respect or at any other time.

(h)

At the option of Lender, any Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrower in connection with or based upon any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against any Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against such Guarantor to the extent

Amended and Restated Guaranty of Recourse Obligations – Page

of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrower or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person.

(i)

Guarantors agree that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrower or a Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or a Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made.

(j)

In the event that any Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to a Guarantor, such Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including Principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all Principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give any Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by a Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all Principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by such Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender.

(k)

Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar proceeding involving the Property and the exercise by Lender of any or all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents.
