Obligations, the
Guarantor will immediately pay the same, without any demand or
notice
whatsoever. All payments by the Guarantor on account of this
Guarantee shall be

Lenders and
separate suits may be brought hereunder as each such cause of
action arises.

1.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor
under
this Guarantee are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
value,
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan
Documents, or
any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or
any
substitution, release or exchange of any other guaranty of or
security for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loans, and, to the fullest
extent permitted
by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 1.02 that the
obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all
circumstances and shall not be released, discharged or in any way
affected or
impaired by any thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or
condition
whatsoever (whether or not the Guarantor shall have any knowledge
or notice
thereof or shall consent thereto). In furtherance of the foregoing
and without
limiting the generality thereof, the Guarantor agrees as
follows:
(a)
This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and performance when due
and
not of collection.
(b)
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of
the
obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantor under the other Loan
Documents to
which they are a party and the obligations of any other guarantor
of the
obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, and a
separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether
or not any
action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other
guarantors and
whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or
actions.
(c)
Payment, performance or completion by the Guarantor, or any
other
guarantor, of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations
shall in no
way limit, affect, modify or abridge the Guarantor's liability for
any portion
of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid, performed or
completed.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the
Administrative Agent
(or any of the Lenders) is awarded a judgment in any suit brought
to enforce the
Guarantor's covenant to pay, perform or complete a portion of the
Guaranteed
Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release the
Guarantor from its
covenant to pay, perform or complete the portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations
that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not,
except to the
extent satisfied by the Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge
the
Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
(d)
The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (subject to the
terms
of the Loan Documents), upon such terms as they deem appropriate,
without notice
or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of
this Guarantee
or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge
or
termination of the Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to
time may (i)
renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or
otherwise change
the time, place, manner or terms of payment or performance under
the Loan
Documents pursuant to the terms thereof, (ii) settle, compromise,
release or
discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with
respect to, or
4
<PAGE>
substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any Loan Document
and/or
subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other
obligations;
(iii) request and accept other guaranties of any of the Borrower's
obligations
under the Loan Documents and take and hold security for the payment
or
performance of this Guarantee or the Loan Documents; (iv) release,
surrender,
exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter,
subordinate or
modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment or
performance
of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, any other
guaranties of
the Loans, or any other obligation of any Person (including any
other guarantor)
with respect to the Loans; (v) enforce and apply any security now
or hereafter
held by or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in
respect of this Guarantee or the Loans and direct the order or
manner of sale
thereof, and to bid at any such sale, or exercise any other right
or remedy that
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against any such
security, in
each case as in its discretion may determine consistent with any
applicable
security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security
pursuant to one
or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, even though such action
operates to
impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or
remedy of Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for the
Guaranteed
Obligations; (vi) apply any payments or recoveries from the
Borrower, Guarantor
or any other sources, and any proceeds of any security, to the
Guaranteed
Obligations in such manner, order and priority as the
Administrative Agent may
elect (whether or not those obligations are guaranteed by this
Guarantee or
secured at the time of the application); and (vii) exercise any
other rights
available to it under the Loan Documents. The Guarantor authorizes
the
Administrative Agent at any time in its discretion to direct the
order and
manner of any sale of all or any part of any security now or later
held for the
Guaranteed Obligations or this Guarantee, and to bid to at any such
sale, to
apply any payments or recoveries from the Borrower, the Guarantor
or any other
source, and any proceeds of any security, to the Guaranteed
Obligation in such
manner, order and priority as the Administrative Agent may elect
(whether or not
those obligations are guaranteed by this Guarantee or secured at
the time of the
application). The Administrative Agent may take any of the
foregoing actions
upon any terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may
elect, without
giving notice to the Guarantor or obtaining the consent of the
Guarantor and
without affecting the liability of the Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent or
the Lenders.
(e)
Except as expressly provided in Sections 1.02(c) and 1.02(d),
this
Guarantee and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
valid and
enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment,
discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full
of the
outstanding Loans, together with all other amounts due to the
Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents and the termination
of any
remaining Commitments or performance in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations),
including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the
following, whether
or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of
them: (i) any
failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election
not to assert
or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by
operation of law or
otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand
or any right,
power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law,
in equity or
otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan
Documents, or
with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment
or performance
of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loans; (ii) any rescission,
waiver,
amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any
of the terms
or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to
any Event of
5
<PAGE>
Default) of the Loan Documents, the material agreements, the
Sources and Uses
Budget or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed
Obligations or
the Loans, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms
of the Loan
Documents or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or
security; (iii)
any Loan Document, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid
or
unenforceable with respect to the Borrower; (iv) the application of
payments
received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to
this
Guarantee or the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any
security for
the Guaranteed Obligations or the Notes except to the extent such
security also
serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed
Obligations or
the Notes) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Loans,
even though the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders might have elected to apply
such payment
to any part or all of the Loans; (v) the Administrative Agent's
consent to the
change, reorganization or termination of the ownership structure or
existence of
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and to any corresponding
restructuring of
the Loans, including, without limitation, the Guaranteed
Obligations; (vi) any
failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in
any
collateral which secures any of the Loans, including, without
limitation, the
Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or
counterclaims that the
Borrower may assert against the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders in
respect of the Loans, including, without limitation, the failure
of
consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds,
statute of
limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, other than payment
or
performance of such obligations under the Loan Documents to the
extent
encompassed in the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) the acquisition
or transfer of
title to the Project to the Administrative Agent, any of the
Lenders, any
Affiliate of the Lenders or any designee of the Administrative
Agent or the
Lenders (including, without limitation, any purchaser through
foreclosure, deed
in lieu or otherwise); (ix) any act or event which might otherwise
discharge,
reduce, limit or modify the Guarantor's obligations under this
Guarantee; (x)
any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay or other
act or omission
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or their failure to
proceed promptly
or otherwise as against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
security; (xi) any
action, omission or circumstance which might increase the
likelihood that the
Guarantor may be called upon to perform under this Guarantee or
which might
affect the rights or remedies of the Guarantor as against the
Borrower; (xii)
any dealings occurring at any time between the Borrower and the
Administrative
Agent or the Lenders, whether relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations or
otherwise; and (xiii) 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 the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
(f)
Whether or not Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee are
subject
to any maximum dollar amount or any other limitation expressly set
forth in this
Guarantee, Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee shall not be
impaired,
reduced or affected by reason of Administrative Agent's and/or any
Lender's
application of any payments received from any source (i) to the
payment of any
obligation or indebtedness of Borrower which is not part of the
Guaranteed
Obligations, even though Administrative Agent and/or any such
Lender might
lawfully have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of
the Guaranteed
Obligations, it being the intention of the parties that,
notwithstanding any act
or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable full
or partial
discharge of a surety, the Guarantor shall remain fully liable for
the payment
of all of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Loans and all other
Guaranteed
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full;
provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed as an authorization to
Administrative Agent
and/or any Lender to apply to any such other obligation of the
Borrower the
6
<PAGE>
amount of an indefeasible payment that has been made by the
Guarantor to
Administrative Agent and/or any Lender if and to the extent that
such payment is
made by the Guarantor with express written instructions that such
payment be
applied directly in reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(ii) to the
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not such
payment might
reduce the outstanding amount of the Guaranteed Obligations to a
sum that is
less than the maximum dollar liability, if any, of the Guarantor
expressly set
forth herein), unless and until such payment shall have become
indefeasible, the
amount so paid shall no longer be available for future advance
under the Loans,
and the Loans and all other Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly
paid and performed in full, it being the intention of the parties
that,
notwithstanding any payments applied in reduction of the Guaranteed
Obligations
from any source, the Guarantor shall be and remain fully liable for
the payment
of all of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Loans and all other
Guaranteed
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and
the Lenders
shall have no further or continuing obligation to make any
additional advances
of the Loans to Borrower. As used herein, an "indefeasible" payment
shall mean
and refer to a payment that is no longer subject to potential
disaffirmance,
impairment, set aside, offset, recoupment, defeasance, recovery,
disallowance,
or recapture pursuant to the provisions of any federal or state
law, regulation
or order applicable to or governing creditors' rights, including
without
limitation Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, either
by reason of
the passage of time following such payment or the final judgment of
a court of
competent jurisdiction establishing the unassailable right of the
party
receiving such payment to retain such payment without reduction,
offset, or
other impairment.
1.03. Waivers by the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives, for
the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders:
(a)
any right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as
a
condition of payment or performance or completion by the Guarantor,

a marshalling of Borrower's or any other Person's assets or to
cause
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to proceed against the
Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii)
proceed
against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such
other guarantor
or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any

Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders whatsoever;
(b)
any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority
or
any disability or other defense of the Borrower, including, without

any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or

instrument
related thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of
the Borrower
from any cause other than payment, performance and completion in
full of the
Guaranteed Obligations;
(c)
any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that
the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
7
<PAGE>
(d)
any defense based upon the Administrative Agent's or any of the
Lender's errors or omissions in the administration of the Loans,
including,
without limitation, the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however,
the waiver
set forth in this clause (d) shall not operate as a waiver of any
defense based
on Administrative Agent's or any Lender's gross negligence or
willful
misconduct, in which case such waiver shall not apply to any such
defense
against claims by the party to whom the gross negligence or willful
misconduct
is attributable (but without limiting any such waiver as it applies
to any claim
by any other party) to the extent of such gross negligence or
willful
misconduct;
(e)
(i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
which
are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guarantee and

equitable discharge of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder (other
than

or the Loans
in full), (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
Guarantor's
liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to
set-offs,
recoupments and counterclaims and (iv) promptness, diligence and
any requirement
that the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders protect,
secure, perfect or
insure any security interest or lien or any property subject
thereto;
(f)
notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest,
notices
of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, notices of
default under the
other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument related
thereto, notices of
any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any
agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to
the Borrower
and any right to consent to any thereof;
(g)
any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of
the
liability of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, whether
consented to by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, consensual
or arising
by operation of law or any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization, or from
any other cause;
(h)
any defense based on any rejection or disaffirmance of the
Guaranteed
Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security held therefor, in
any such
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization;
(i)
any defense based on any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative
Agent or the Lenders in any proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency
involving
the Borrower, including any election to have their claim allowed as
being
secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by
the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to the Borrower in any
proceedings in
bankruptcy or insolvency, and taking and holding by the
Administrative Agent or
the Lenders of any security for any such extension of credit;
