2.   THE GUARANTEED DEBT .

 

(a)   Subject to Section 2(f) below, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantee to Lender the prompt, complete, and full payment when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of: (i) the Loan, including the Note and any other note that may be issued from time to time to evidence the Loan and all principal thereof, all interest thereon and all other sums payable thereunder; (ii) all obligations or liabilities of any Loan Obligor; (iii) all other sums payable under the Loan Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise; and (iv) any and all other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities which may at any time be owed to Lender, whether incurred heretofore or hereafter or concurrently herewith, under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors’ liability hereunder shall extend to and include all post-petition interest, expenses, and other duties and liabilities of Borrower described above in this subsection (a), or below in the following subsection (b), which would be owed by Borrower but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding involving Borrower.

(b) (i) Subject to Section 2(f) below, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantee to Lender the prompt, complete and full performance, when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of all obligations and undertakings of Borrower to Lender under, by reason of, or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

 

(ii)   Manchester and MIO hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to Lender the prompt, complete and full performance, when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of all obligations and undertakings of MIA to Borrower and Lender in its capacity as Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(iii)   MIA and MIO hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantee to Lender the prompt, complete and full performance, when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of all obligations and undertakings of Manchester to Borrower and Lender in its capacity as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)   If the party liable therefor shall for any reason fail to pay any Guaranteed Obligation, as and when such Guaranteed Obligation shall become due and payable, whether at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or otherwise, the Guarantors will forthwith, upon demand by Lender, pay such Guaranteed Obligation in full to Lender. If the party responsible therefor shall for any reason fail to perform promptly any Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantors will forthwith, upon demand by Lender, cause such Guaranteed Obligation to be performed or, if specified by Lender, provide sufficient funds, in such amount and manner as Lender shall in good faith determine, for the prompt, full and faithful performance of such Guaranteed Obligation by Lender or such other Person as Lender shall designate.

 

(d)   If either the party responsible therefor or the Guarantors fail to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation as described in the immediately preceding subsections (a), (b), or (c), the Guarantors will incur the additional obligation to pay to Lender, and the Guarantors will forthwith upon demand by Lender pay to Lender, the amount of any and all expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of Lender’s counsel and of any experts or agents retained by Lender, which Lender may incur as a result of such failure.

 

(e)   As between each Guarantor and Lender, this Guaranty shall be considered a primary and liquidated liability of such Guarantor.

3.   DURATION . This Guaranty shall be irrevocable until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been completely and finally paid and performed and Lender has no obligation to make any loans or other advances to Borrower, and all obligations and undertakings of Borrower and MIA under, by reason of, or pursuant to the Loan Documents have been completely performed, and this Guaranty is thereafter subject to reinstatement as provided in Section 4(d). All extensions of credit and financial accommodations heretofore or hereafter made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made in acceptance hereof and in reliance hereon. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, jointly and severally, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

 

4.   UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY .

 

(a)   This is an unconditional Guaranty; it is unlimited as to time, until termination. Each Guarantor warrants that there are no conditions, oral or otherwise, on the effectiveness of this Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to and cover all Guaranteed Obligations and renewals and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor from time to time. No action which Lender may take or omit to take in connection with any of the Loan Documents, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender), or any Security, and no course of dealing of any Secured Party with any Loan Obligor or any other Person, shall release or diminish the Guarantors’ obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford the Guarantors any recourse against any Secured Party, regardless of whether any such action or inaction may increase any risks to or liabilities of any Secured Party or any Loan Obligor or increase any risk to or diminish any safeguard of any Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantors hereby expressly agree that Lender, directly or through the Collateral Agent, may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantors, do any or all of the following: (i) amend, change or modify, in whole or in part, any one or more of the other Loan Documents and give or refuse to give any waivers or other indulgences with respect thereto; (ii) neglect, delay, fail, or refuse to take or prosecute any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any Security or Loan Document, to bring suit against any Loan Obligor or any other Person, or to take any other action concerning the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents; (iii) accelerate, change, rearrange, extend, or renew the time, rate, terms, or manner for payment or performance of any one or more of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnifications, affirmative or negative covenants, or otherwise); (iv) compromise or settle any unpaid or unperformed Guaranteed Obligation or any other obligation or amount due or owing, or claimed to be due or owing, under any one or more of the Loan Documents; (v) take, exchange, amend, eliminate, surrender, release, or subordinate any or all Security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, accept additional or substituted Security therefor, and perfect or fail to perfect Lender’s rights in any or all Security; (vi) discharge, release, substitute or add Loan Obligors; (vii) apply all monies received from Loan Obligors or others, or from any Security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, as Lender may determine to be in its best interest, without in any way being required to marshall Security or assets or to apply all or any part of such monies upon any particular Guaranteed Obligations;

(b)   No action or inaction of any Loan Obligor or any other Person, and no change of law or circumstances, shall release or diminish the Guarantors’ obligations, liabilities, agreements, or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford any Guarantor any recourse against Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations, liabilities, agreements, and duties of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by the occurrence of any or all of the following from time to time, even if occurring without notice to or without the consent of the Guarantors: (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all assets, marshalling of assets or liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or composition of any other Loan Obligor or any other proceedings involving any other Loan Obligor or any of the assets of any other Loan Obligor under laws for the protection of debtors, or any discharge, impairment, modification, release, or limitation of the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, any other Loan Obligor, any properties of any other Loan Obligor, or the estate in bankruptcy of any other Loan Obligor in the course of or resulting from any such proceedings; (ii) the failure by Lender to file or enforce a claim in any proceeding described in the immediately preceding subsection (i) or to take any other action in any proceeding to whic
