B.            As a condition to Lender’s making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Guarantor execute and deliver to Lender this Guaranty; and

C.            Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it will materially benefit from Lender’s agreeing to make the Loan;

(a)           All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement.

(b)           The term “ Guaranteed Obligations ” means Lender’s Losses arising out of or in connection with Borrower’s action or inaction which results in the termination of the Ground Lease, Borrower’s failure to exercise all of its options currently set forth in the Ground Lease to extend the term of the Ground Lease to at least December 31, 2021 or Borrower’s failure to obtain an extension of the Ground Lease to a term of at least ten (10) years beyond the Stated Maturity Date; unless in any case, Borrower obtains replacement parking facilities that, (A) if subject to an agreement, lease or otherwise, grant rights to such replacement parking facilities for a term of at least ten (10) years beyond the Stated Maturity Date (the “ Replacement Parking Facilities Agreement ”), and (B) are sufficient to enable the Property to comply with applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, zoning requirements), each of (A) and (B) as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.  Borrower and Guarantor shall be released from any further liability for the foregoing in the event that the replacement parking facilities and the Replacement Parking Facilities Agreement are

(c)           Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Lender from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, expenses and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which Lender may suffer or which otherwise may arise by reason of Borrower’s failure to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when due, irrespective of whether such costs, losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, expenses or damages are incurred by Lender prior or subsequent to (i) Lender’s declaring the Principal, interest and other sums evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents to be due and payable, (ii) the commencement or completion of a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the Mortgage or (iii) the conveyance of all or any portion of the Property by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
