The undersigned hereby agrees, jointly and severally with the Parent Guarantor pursuant to the Parent Guarantee and any other Subsidiary Guarantors under their respective Subsidiary Guarantees, that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by the following: (a) the failure to give notice to the Guarantors of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture; (b) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or termination of the payment, performance or observance by the Operating Partnership or the Guarantors of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of either of them contained in the Indenture or the 2018 Notes; (c) the acceleration, extension or any other changes in the time for payment of any principal of or interest or any premium on any 2018 Note or for any other payment under the Indenture or of the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of the Indenture or the 2018 Notes; (d) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in the Indenture or the 2018 Notes; (e) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred to in the Indenture and in any of the actions under the 2018 Notes; (f) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Trustee to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on the Trustee in the Indenture, or any other action or acts on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders from time to time of the 2018 Notes; (g) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Guarantors or the Operating Partnership or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Subsidiary Guarantee in any such proceeding; (h) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture; (i) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Operating Partnership from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture; (j) the default or failure of the Operating Partnership or the Trustee fully to perform any of its obligations set forth in the Indenture or the 2018 Notes; (k) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Indenture or the 2018 Notes or any part of any thereof; (l) any judicial or governmental action affecting the Operating Partnership or any 2018 Notes or consent or indulgence granted by the Operating Partnership by the Holders or by the Trustee; or (m) the recovery of any judgment against the Operating Partnership or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The undersigned hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Operating Partnership, any right to require a proceeding first against the Operating Partnership, protest or notice with respect to such Notice or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such 2018 Note and in this Subsidiary Guarantee. No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2018 Note. THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The validity and enforceability of this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular 2018 Note. An Event of Default under the Indenture or the 2018 Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Subsidiary Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of 2018 Notes to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Operating Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Operating Partnership that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as "Guarantor's Conditional Rights"), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Operating Partnership, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees not to exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Subsidiary Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to any of the undersigned on account of any such Guarantor's Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by Operating Partnership to a Holder that is at any time determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid such Holder to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred to as a "Preferential Payment" to the extent the Operating Partnership makes any payment to Holder in connection with the Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise. To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be enforceable, each of the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor's Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders' right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and each of the undersigned shall not enforce any of its respective portion of the Guarantors' Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment. The undersigned's liability (the "Base Guaranty Liability") shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of the undersigned hereunder, but shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the obligation as stated in the second sentence of Section 1401 of the Indenture, and (B) the amount, if any, which would not have (i) rendered the undersigned "insolvent" (as such term is defined in Section 101(29) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and in Section 271 of the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York, as each is in effect at the date of the Indenture) or (ii) left the undersigned with unreasonably small capital at the time its Guarantee was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Debt (as defined in the Indenture) immediately prior to such time, provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which the undersigned is a party that the amount guaranteed is the amount set forth in (A) above unless a creditor, or representative of creditors of the undersigned or a trustee in bankruptcy of the undersigned, as debtor in possession, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the undersigned is limited to the amount set forth in (B). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of the undersigned in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of the undersigned to contribution from other Guarantors, to subrogation and any other rights the undersigned may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account. The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the 2018 Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 14 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee and all of the other provisions of the Indenture to which this Subsidiary Guarantee relates. Capitalized terms in this Subsidiary Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
