NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution and delivery of the Second Amendment and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor covenants and agrees, on a fully joint and several basis, as follows:
1.DEFINITIONS. Defined terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
2.COVENANTS OF GUARANTOR.
(a)Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety: (i) the full and prompt payment of all Base Rent and Additional Rent and all other rent, sums and charges of every type and nature payable by Tenant under the Lease, whether the same accrued prior to, or accrues on or after, the date of this Guaranty, and (ii) the full, timely and complete performance of all covenants, terms, conditions, obligations and agreements to be performed by Tenant under the Lease, whether the same arose prior to, or arise on or after, the date of this Guaranty (all of the obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Obligations”). If Tenant defaults under the Lease, Guarantor will, without notice or demand, promptly pay and perform all of the Obligations, and pay to Landlord, when and as due, all Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease, together with all damages, costs and expenses to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to any or all of the Lease, this Guaranty and Applicable Laws.
(b)Guarantor agrees with Landlord that (i) any action, suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever (an “Action”) commenced by Landlord against Guarantor to collect Base Rent and Additional Rent and any other rent, sums and charges due under the Lease for any month or months shall not prejudice in any way Landlord’s rights to collect any such amounts due for any subsequent month or months throughout the Term in any subsequent Action, (ii) Landlord may, at its option, without prior notice or demand, join Guarantor in any Action against Tenant in connection with or based upon either or both of the Lease and any of the Obligations, (iii) Landlord may seek and obtain recovery against Guarantor in an Action against Tenant or in any independent Action against Guarantor without Landlord first asserting, prosecuting, or exhausting any remedy or claim against Tenant or against any security of Tenant held by Landlord under the Lease, and (iv) Guarantor will be conclusively bound by a judgment entered in any Action in favor of Landlord against Tenant, as if Guarantor were a party to such Action, irrespective of whether or not Guarantor is entered as a party or participates in such Action.
(c)Any default or failure by the Guarantor to perform any of its Obligations under this Guaranty shall be deemed an immediate default by Tenant under the Lease.
| 3. | GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. |
(a)This Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and of performance, and not of collection, and shall be enforceable against Guarantor without the necessity of the commencement by Landlord of any Action against Tenant, and without the necessity of any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance or nonobservance, or any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, or of any other notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives in advance. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant.
