SECTION

GUARANTY
|
A.
|
Subject to the
terms, provisions and limitations of this Guaranty, Guarantor
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
Landlord the full, complete and timely payment to Landlord of all
Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, and applicable Late Charges
(collectively, “ Guaranteed Rent ”) as
and when such amounts become due and payable in accordance with the
Hotel Lease during the Guaranty Term, without deduction, reduction
or credit by reason of any set-off (except to the extent of any
set-offs to which Tenant is expressly entitled pursuant to the
terms of the Hotel Lease); provided, however, that the Aggregate
Amount Funded shall in no event exceed the Guaranty Funding Limit.
Subject to the terms, provisions and limitations of this Guaranty,
this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional
guaranty of payment. For purposes hereof, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Hotel Lease, it is
expressly understood and agreed that the Guaranteed Rent guaranteed
hereunder shall not include any sums for damages arising from an
Event of Default or termination of the Hotel Lease, specifically
including damages computed on the basis of the acceleration of any
Rent due under the Hotel Lease, it being understood and agreed that
Guarantor’s agreement to pay Guaranteed Rent hereunder shall
not exceed the amount of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent and
applicable Late Charges payable during the Guaranty Term in
accordance with the Hotel Lease. Any defense, claim, counterclaim
or offset that would be available to Tenant under the Hotel Lease
or applicable law arising as a result of Landlord’s failure
to mitigate damages pursuant to the terms of Section 12.2 of the
Hotel Lease shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 16.A hereof, likewise be available to and for
the benefit of Guarantor (but Landlord’s failure to mitigate
damages will not serve as a basis, standing alone, for termination
of this Guaranty).
|
|
|
|
|
B.
|
Guarantor shall
pay the Guaranteed Rent, in amounts required hereunder, within ten
(10) Business Days after Landlord provides notice hereunder to
Guarantor of Tenant’s failure to pay such amounts; provided,
however, that in the event of an Exercise of Rights or
Repossession, the above-referenced period of “ten (10)
Business Days” shall be “twenty (20) Business
Days.” During the course of each Fiscal Year, the Guaranteed
Rent and the Amount Funded will be calculated for each Accounting
Period within such Fiscal Year (on a cumulative basis for all
Accounting Periods then elapsed during such Fiscal Year). The
actual Guaranteed Rent and Amount Funded shall be trued-up and
adjusted after each Accounting Period (and after each Fiscal Year),
based on the actual cumulative Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Late
Charges and Cash Available for Lease Payments through such
Accounting Period (or through the end of such Fiscal Year, as the
case may be). Guarantor and Landlord shall cooperate with respect
to each such true-up calculation and shall promptly share all
calculations and determinations relating thereto or resulting
therefrom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
If any such
true-up calculation demonstrates that Guarantor overfunded the
Guaranteed Rent during the applicable period, Landlord shall repay
to Guarantor the amount of such overfunding (any such repaid
amount, or offset and reduced amount, as provided herein, the
“ Repaid Amount ”) within five (5)
Business Days after the first to occur of (i) Landlord’s
actual knowledge of the occurrence of such overfunding and the
amount thereof, or (ii) Landlord’s receipt of notice from
Guarantor identifying the amount of such overfunding; provided,
however, in lieu of such payment, Guarantor may, at its election,
upon notice to Landlord, offset and reduce (or cause Tenant to
offset and reduce) the amount of Guaranteed Rent otherwise payable
by Guarantor hereunder (or by Tenant under the Lease, as the case
may be) by the amount of such overfunding or any portion thereof.
The parties agree that (a) the total amount of the Amount Funded
shall be reduced by any such Repaid Amount; (b) such Repaid Amount
shall be treated, for purposes of this Guaranty, as if it was never
funded by Guarantor; and (c) such Repaid Amount shall not be
included in the calculation of Aggregate Amount Funded for purposes
of determining whether the Guaranty Funding Limit has been reached
pursuant to Section 3.A.1 hereof.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
If any such
true-up calculation demonstrates that Guarantor underfunded the
Guaranteed Rent during the applicable period, Guarantor shall pay
to Landlord the amount of any such underfunding (any such
additional payment, the “ Additional Funded
Amount ”) within five (5) Business Days after the
first to occur of (i) Guarantor’s or (except in the case of
an Exercise of Rights or a Repossession) Tenant’s actual
knowledge of the occurrence of such underfunding and the amount
thereof, or (ii) Guarantor’s receipt of notice from Landlord
identifying the amount of such underfunding. Landlord’s
failure to provide such notice with respect to Additional Funded
Amounts within any specific time period shall not be a waiver of
Landlord’s rights under this Guaranty. The parties agree that
any amounts funded by Guarantor as Additional Funded Amounts shall
be added to, and shall be treated for all purposes hereunder as,
Amount Funded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.B to the contrary, nothing herein shall
require (or be deemed to require) Guarantor to pay any Percentage
Rent prior to the time such Percentage Rent is payable in
accordance with the provisions of the Hotel Lease.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.
|
In the event
Guarantor and Tenant should each pay the same Guaranteed Rent to
Landlord (i.e., Guarantor funds a portion of the Guaranteed Rent
pursuant to the provisions hereof and Tenant funds the same amounts
from the Hotel Property), (i) Landlord shall return to Guarantor
the amounts that were paid by Guarantor within five (5) Business
Days after the first to occur of (a) Landlord’s actual
knowledge of the occurrence of such payment and the amount thereof,
or (b) Landlord’s receipt of notice from Guarantor
identifying the amount of such payment; (ii) the total amount of
the Amount Funded shall be reduced by any such repaid amounts;
(iii) such repaid amounts shall be treated, for purposes of this
Guaranty, as if they were never funded by Guarantor; and (iv) such
repaid amounts shall not be included in the calculation of
Aggregate Amount Funded for purposes of determining whether the
Guaranty Funding Limit has been reached pursuant to Section 3.A.1
hereof.
|
|
|
|
|
D.
|
Subject to the
terms, provisions and limitations of this Guaranty, this Guaranty
is a continuing Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect
until the indefeasible satisfaction and discharge in full of
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
