Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

SECTION 6. REINSTATEMENT. |
Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.
SECTION 7. PAYMENT ON DEMAND. |
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Guarantors hereby promise to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of the Notes, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).
SECTION 8. STAY OF ACCELERATION. |
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Guaranty.
SECTION 9. COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT. |
Each Guarantor agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty.
SECTION 10. NO SUBROGATION. |
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder, such Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Holder against the Issuer or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall such Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Holders in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Holders, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

No Holder shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that a Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten any Guarantor’s burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives.
SECTION 12. CONSIDERATION. |
Each Guarantor has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of this Guaranty.
SECTION 13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS. |
Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that:
(a) Such Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty (herein in this Section 13, a “Material Adverse Effect”). Such Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof.
(b) Each subsidiary of such Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each subsidiary of such Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.
(c) This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(d) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, organizational document or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries.
(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty.
(f) Neither such Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.
(g) Such Guarantor is solvent, has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe or should have believed that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due. Such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and delivery of, or performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty.
(h) The obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of such Guarantor that is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor including, without limitation, all obligations of such Guarantor under any guaranty of Indebtedness of any other Person.
SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS. |
(a) This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3 through 13, inclusive, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder in writing, and (2) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2 or this Section 14. No consent of the Holders or the Guarantors shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement or other addition of any additional Guarantor, and each Guarantor, by its execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or Guaranty Supplement) consents to the addition of each additional Guarantor. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.8(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement (including without limitation receipt by the Holders of the Officer’s Certificate described in such Section 10.8(b)) with respect to any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be automatically deemed discharged from its obligations hereunder, without any consent or other action by any of the Holder, the Guarantors or the Constituent Companies and shall no longer constitute a “Guarantor” hereunder.

(b) The Guarantors will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. The Guarantors will deliver executed copies of each executed Guaranty Supplement to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed.
(c) No Guarantor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.
(d) Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 14 applies equally to all Holders of Notes affected thereby and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
(e) Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, the Issuer or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:
| (1) if to a Note Purchaser or its nominee, to such Note Purchaser or its nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as such Note Purchaser or its nominee shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Issuer in writing, |
| (2) if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Issuer in writing, or |
| (3) if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor c/o the Issuer at its address set forth at the beginning of the Note Purchase Agreement to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the Holders in writing. |
Notices under this Section 15 will be deemed given only when actually received.
SECTION 16. MISCELLANEOUS. |
(a) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.
(b) The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Note Purchaser, on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors or the Issuer on behalf of the Guarantors in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note.
(c) Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors.
(e) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If any Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Corporation”), the Successor Corporation, if not already a Guarantor, shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders).
(f) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
(g) This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
(h) (1) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
| (2) Each Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 16(h)(1) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 15 or at such other address of which such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. |
| |
| (3) Nothing in this Section 16(h) shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against a Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. |
| |
| (4) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. |

The closing opinion of Pepper Hamilton LLP, special counsel for the Issuer and the Guarantors, which is called for by Section 4.4(a) of the Agreement, shall be dated the date of the Closing and addressed to each Purchaser, shall be satisfactory in scope and form to each Purchaser and shall be to the effect that:

The Issuer is a limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the limited partnership power and authority to execute and perform the Agreement and to issue the Notes and has the full limited partnership power and authority to conduct the activities in which it is now engaged and is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as a foreign limited partnership in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. |
| |
| 2. The Parent Guarantor is a real estate investment trust, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, has the trust power and authority to execute and perform the Agreement and has the full trust power and authority to own its properties and to conduct the activities in which it is now engaged and is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as a foreign trust in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. |

| |
|
| 4. Each Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors) is a corporation or other business entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (including the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors) have been duly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and, other than as shown on Schedule 6.4, are owned by the Parent Guarantor, by one or more Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor, or by the Parent Guarantor and one or more of its Subsidiaries. |
