Exhibit 10.28
GUARANTY OF
OBLIGATIONS
THIS GUARANTY OF
OBLIGATIONS (this “
Guaranty ”) is executed as of September 18, 2008
by JEFFREY L. RUSH, an individual, MARK D. TOOTHACRE,
an individual, ELIZABETH A. POWELL, an individual,
KIMBERLY B. COCHRANE, an individual, and ROBERT A.
ROSENTHAL, an individual (collectively, “
Guarantor ”), in favor of NATIONWIDE HEALTH
PROPERTIES, INC. , a Maryland corporation (“
Lender ”).
RECITALS
A. Lender has agreed to make a loan in the
principal amount of $47,500,000 (the “ Loan ”)
to PDP Pomerado LLC, a California limited liability company (
“ Borrower ”), pursuant to the terms and
conditions of that certain Secured Promissory Note of even date
herewith to be executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (the “
Note ”). The obligations due from Borrower to Lender
under the Note are secured by that certain Leasehold Deed of Trust,
Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and
Fixture Filing (the “ Deed of Trust ”), which
creates a lien, inter alia, on Borrower’s leasehold
interest in certain real property located in the City of Poway,
County of San Diego, State of California, as more particularly
described in the Deed of Trust. All initially-capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given
such terms in the Deed of Trust. The Note and Deed of Trust
(together with any and all amendments, modifications, restatements
or extensions thereof), and all other documents, agreements or
instruments executed by Borrower in favor of Lender in connection
with the Loan, shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“ Loan Documents .”
B. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender
would not have been willing to make the Loan to Borrower unless
Guarantor was willing to execute and deliver this
Guaranty.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of Lender making
the Loan to Borrower, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Guarantor agrees as follows:
Guarantor hereby absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to Lender the following (collectively,
the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”):
(a) the full, complete and timely
payment when due, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations
of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Note and other Loan
Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or
otherwise;
(b) the full, complete and timely
performance by Borrower of all covenants, indemnities and other
obligations under the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any indemnity or other obligations
of Borrower which survives the expiration or earlier termination of
the Loan Documents; and
1
(c) all costs of collection or
enforcement incurred by Lender in exercising any remedies provided
for in the Note or the other Loan Documents at law or in equity
with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (a) and (b),
inclusive, above.
Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, the aggregate liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall not exceed the sum of $7,136,250, plus interest on
the full principal amount outstanding and payable under the Note
and costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or collecting under
this Guaranty. The foregoing monetary cap shall not apply to any
liability of Guarantor arising under this Guaranty by reason of any
of the following:
(a) The misapplication of Insurance
Proceeds under the terms of the Deed of Trust;
(b) The misapplication of
Condemnation Proceeds under the terms of the Deed of
Trust;
(c) The misapplication of Rents
under the terms of the Deed of Trust;
(d) Waste committed on the Trust
Estate or damage to the Trust Estate as a result of the intentional
misconduct or negligence of Borrower or Guarantor, or any removal
or disposal of any of the Trust Estate in violation of the terms of
the Deed of Trust;
(e) Any mechanic’s liens,
materialmen’s liens or other liens not paid to the
appropriate payee which could create liens on any portion of the
Trust Estate;
(f) The breach by Borrower or
Guarantor of any of its respective obligations and indemnities
under the Loan Documents relating to hazardous or toxic substances
or compliance with environmental laws and regulations, it being
understood that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit, impair or
reduce said obligations and indemnities;
(g) Fraud or material
misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor or, if Guarantor knew or
would have known thereof by exercising reasonable supervision of
such persons, by any principals, officers or employees of Borrower
or by any guarantor, any indemnitor or any agent, employee or other
person authorized or apparently authorized to make statements or
representations on behalf of Borrower;
(h) The failure of Borrower to
maintain the types and levels of insurance required under the terms
of the Deed of Trust; and
(i) The assertion by Borrower or
Guarantor of any cause of action against Lender relating to the
Loan, that Lender has any liability whatsoever to Borrower or
Guarantor, or that Lender is a partner or joint venturer of
Borrower or has any liability as such.

Performance
by Guarantor .
|
Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as defined in the Note) and the expiration of any
applicable notice and/or cure period thereunder, then upon demand
by Lender, Guarantor shall pay within ten (10) days such sums
and perform such obligations as required by the Loan Documents,
without regard to:
(a) any defense, set-off, or
counterclaim which Guarantor or Borrower may have or
assert;
(b) whether or not Lender shall have
instituted any suit, action or proceeding or exhausted its remedies
or taken any steps to enforce any rights against Borrower or any
other person to collect all or any part of such sums, either
pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents or at law or in
equity (it being understood that this is a guaranty of payment and
not collection, and Guarantor’s liability for such payment
shall be primary); or
(c) any other condition or
contingency.
Guarantor waives any right of
exoneration and any right to require Lender to make an election of
remedies. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall not cause
any default under the Loan Documents. Guarantor’s performance
or satisfaction of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge
Guarantor’s liability for that portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations which is not performed and Lender shall have the right
to designate the manner in which any payments made by Borrower
under the Loan Documents or by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty
are applied to the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that Lender receives
payment for, or is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to
enforce Guarantor’s covenant to perform a portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations, such payment or judgment shall in no way be
deemed to release Guarantor from its covenant to perform or satisfy
any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not satisfied by
such payment or the collection of any such judgment. Lender shall
be under no obligation whatsoever to exhaust any of its collateral
for the Guaranteed Obligations or to pursue any right or remedy it
may have under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise,
or to take any action whatsoever to mitigate or reduce
Guarantor’s liability hereunder, notwithstanding the fact
that the Loan may be fully matured, the outstanding principal
balance thereof may be fully due and payable and Borrower is in
default of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
