Landlord may maintain any other commercially reasonable insurance coverages relating to the Premises, or Tenant’s activities and operations therein.

This mutual release and waiver shall apply regardless of the cause or origin of the loss or damage, including negligence of the parties hereto, their respective agents and employees except that it shall not apply to willful conduct. Each party agrees to provide the other with reasonable evidence of its insurance carrier’s consent to such waiver of subrogation upon request. This Section 5.3 supersedes any provision to the contrary which may be contained in this Lease.

5.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE PARTIES.

5.4.1 TENANT’S INDEMNITY. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all liability for any loss, injury or damage, and all costs, expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on Landlord by any person whomsoever that occurs (i) in the Premises, except for any such loss, injury or damage that is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents; or (ii) anywhere in the Property outside of the Premises as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors; or (iii) imposed upon or suffered by Landlord due to breach or violation of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease which breach or violation in turn give rise to any such liability, costs, expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered by or imposed upon Landlord by operation of any Federal Issues as defined below at Section 8.2.

5.4.2 LANDLORD’S INDEMNITY. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant from, and agrees to hold Tenant harmless against, any and all liability for any loss, injury or damage, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on Tenant by any person whomsoever, that occurs in the Buildings or anywhere in the Property and that is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents. Landlord expressly does not indemnify Tenant from any consequence of any Federal Issues.

The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

6. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION.

6.1 DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES. If the Premises are at any time damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire, casualty or other causes, Landlord shall have sixty (60) days from such damage or destruction to determine and inform Tenant whether Landlord will restore the Premises to substantially the condition that existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If Landlord elects to rebuild, Landlord shall complete such repairs to the extent of insurance proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days from the end of the sixty (60) day period. If such repairs have not been completed within that 180-day period, and Tenant desires to terminate the Lease as a result thereof, then Tenant must notify Landlord prior to Landlord’s completion of the repairs of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall then have ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate to complete such repairs (as evidenced by a certificate of completion). If Landlord does complete such repairs prior to the expiration of such ten-day cure period, Tenant shall have no such right to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall, upon substantial completion by Landlord, promptly and diligently, and at its sole cost and expense, repair and restore any improvements to the Premises made by Tenant to the condition which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If, in Landlord’s architect’s or general contractor’s reasonable estimation, the Premises cannot be restored within two hundred forty (240) days of such damage or destruction, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given. Until the restoration of the Premises is complete, there shall be an abatement or reduction of Base Rent in the same proportion that the square footage of the Premises so damaged or destroyed and under restoration bears to the total square footage of the Premises, unless the damaging event was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, officers, agents, licensees, invitees, visitors, customers, concessionaires, assignees, subtenants, contractors or subcontractors, in which event there shall be no such abatement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if damage to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or destruction of the Premises shall occur within the last year of the Term, as the same may be extended as provided hereinafter and Landlord notifies Tenant that (i) Landlord will restore the Premises to their condition prior to the casualty, and (ii) Landlord desires to extend the Term of the Lease with Tenant, then Landlord and Tenant shall extend the Term for an additional period so as to expire five (5) years from the date of the completion of the repairs to the Premises, provided Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s agreement to extend the Term within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Such extension shall be on the terms and conditions provided herein, if an option to extend this Lease remains to be exercised by Tenant hereunder, or under the terms prescribed in Landlord’s notice, if no such further extension period is provided for herein. Upon receipt of such notice from Tenant, Landlord agrees to repair and restore the Premises within a reasonable time. If Tenant refuses or fails to timely extend the Term as provided herein, Landlord at its option shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damaging event, or to restore the Premises and the Lease shall continue for the remainder of the then unexpired Term, or until the Lease is otherwise terminated as provided herein.

6.2 CONDEMNATION.

6.2.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Premises (provided that if 60% or more of the Premises are taken, Tenant may deem that all of the Premises are taken), or such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for the purposes leased hereunder, shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or sold to public authority under threat or in lieu of such taking, the Term shall cease as of the day possession or title shall be taken by such public authority, whichever is earlier (“Taking Date”), whereupon the rent and all other charges shall be paid up to the Taking Date with a proportionate refund by Landlord of any rent and all other charges paid for a period subsequent to the Taking Date. If less than the whole of the Premises, or less than such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable as of the Taking Date, is taken, Base Rent and other charges payable to Landlord shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the Premises taken. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the taking to the extent necessary to make the Premises reasonably tenantable within the limitations of the available compensation awarded for the taking (exclusive of any amount awarded for land).

6.2.2 AWARD. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises or Buildings including the value of the leasehold estate created hereby shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant; Tenant shall have no claim to any such award based on Tenant’s leasehold interest. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant, at its cost, from independently prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceeding for damage to, or cost of removal of, stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to Tenant; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s award or the award of any mortgagee.

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

7.1 Tenant shall, at its expense, throughout the Term and all renewals and extensions thereof, maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises, including but not limited to heating and air conditioning equipment, walls, floors and ceilings, window exteriors, mechanical and electrical systems and equipment exclusively serving the Premises, electric light fixtures, bulbs, tubes and tube casings, doors, floor coverings, dock doors, levelers, plumbing system and plumbing fixtures, Tenant’s signs and utility facilities not maintained by Landlord. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to extend to Tenant the benefit from warranties on such items, if any, that have been made by Landlord’s contractors or vendors and to extend to Tenant, as and if available, any bulk buying power that Landlord may have with such contractors or vendors. If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired, Tenant shall promptly replace the same, regardless of whether the benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Term. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain a preventive maintenance contract providing for the regular inspection (at least quarterly) and maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system by a licensed and qualified heating and air conditioning contractor, or Tenant shall perform such HVAC inspection and maintenance with duly licensed and qualified employee. The cost of such preventive maintenance contract shall be paid by Tenant and an expense solely chargeable to Tenant; but if Landlord so elects, same may be billed directly by Landlord to Tenant where Landlord on Tenant’s behalf enters into such preventive maintenance contract and in such case shall be deemed Additional Rent (Landlord alone may so elect whether to enter into such preventive maintenance contract on Tenant’s behalf). Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance of any other system or component at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be responsible for janitorial services and trash removal from the Premises, at Tenant’s expense. Landlord and Tenant intend that, at all times during the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good order and condition and appearances reasonably commensurate with the balance of the Property.

All of Tenant’s obligations to maintain and repair shall be accomplished at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Premises as required by this Section, Landlord may, on 10 days’ prior written notice (except that no notice shall be required in case of emergency), enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or repair on behalf of Tenant; provided such entry is made in compliance with Applicable Laws, including but not limited to, the Marijuana code. In such cases, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance or repair plus an administration fee equal to 5% of such actual and reasonable costs or expenses.

7.2 CONDITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and with all systems in good working order, condition and repair, except for damage caused by casualty, condemnation and ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease. However, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage that Landlord is required to repair under Section 7.1. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises and the Buildings caused by the removal of any of Tenant’s personal property. In no event shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment: any power wiring or power panels; light fixtures; environmental control systems; heaters, air conditioners, or any other heating or air conditioning equipment (other than movable equipment brought upon the Premises by Tenant); plumbing fixtures; or other similar Buildings operating equipment.

8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

(f) Failure to cure the breach of any provision of this Lease or any other lease or agreement Landlord and Tenant are a party to, other than the obligation to pay Rent, within twenty (20) days after notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if such breach cannot be cured within such 20 day period using diligent efforts and Tenant promptly commenced efforts to cure such breach upon receipt of Landlord’s notice thereof, then such cure period shall be extended for so long as Tenant continues to use diligent efforts to cure, not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days from the date of Landlord’s notice;

(g) Tenant’s breach of the same provision of this Lease, other than the obligation to pay Rent, more than twice (2) in any twelve (12) month period;

(c) Landlord may elect to repossess the Premises and to relet the Premises for Tenant’s account, holding Tenant liable in damages for all expenses incurred in any such reletting and for any difference between the amount of Rent received from such reletting and the amount due and payable under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not, in such circumstances, be responsible for any cost to retrofit or alter the Premises.

(d) After the provision of notice and summary proceedings if required by law Landlord may enter the Premises and take any actions required of Tenant under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses that Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.

(e) If this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section, then Landlord agrees make good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages which efforts shall include efforts to re-let the Property.

The above remedies shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from pursuing any other remedies permitted by law. Landlord’s election not to enforce one or more of the remedies upon an event of default shall not constitute a waiver. However, notwithstanding anything else herein, Landlord hereby expressly disclaims, relinquishes and rejects any Landlord’s lien that otherwise by law, statute or contract might arise in or to any marijuana product and/or related products, chemicals or substances that, the ownership, possession, use, sale or distribution of which, but for the Legal Compliance Clarification, would or might be deemed contrary to Federal law or Federal regulations or enforcement positions by the Federal government or any agency, arm or authority thereof (“Federal Issues”).

8.3 COSTS. If any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory proceeding is commenced by any party to enforce its rights under this Lease against any other party, all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party; provided, that if a party to such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis. .

8.4 WAIVER. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, a default.

8.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice in which to commence the appropriate cure of such default. Unless and until Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue the appropriate cure of such default after such notice or complete same within a reasonable period of time, Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, neither Landlord nor any officer, director, partner, shareholder, or member of Landlord shall have any individual or personal liability whatsoever under this Lease. In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then-owned by Landlord in the Premises (together with insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and sale proceeds), and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be sought or obtained against Landlord, nor any officer, director, partner, shareholder, or member of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages, including without limitation, lost profits.

9. PROTECTION OF LENDERS. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, there either is no mortgage or ground lease affecting the Property or if there is a mortgage, the lender holding same shall have confirmed it does not object to this Lease.

9.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times to the terms of each and every ground or underlying lease which now exists or may hereafter be executed affecting the Premises under which Landlord shall claim, and to the liens of each and every mortgage and deed of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter existing encumbering the Premises, Buildings or the Property, and to all modifications, renewals and replacements thereto without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such subordination. Tenant, upon demand, shall further evidence its subordination by executing a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to Tenant and Landlord and its mortgagee or ground lessor, which subordination and attornment agreement must provide that so long as no default or event which with the passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a default exists under this Lease, the peaceable possession of Tenant in and to the Premises, and continued Permitted Use thereof, for the Term shall not be disturbed in the event of the foreclosure of the subject mortgage or termination of the subject ground or underlying lease affecting the Premises. If Landlord’s interest in the Buildings or Property is acquired by any ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Lease, Premises, Buildings or Property and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee under any mortgage shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as the mortgagee in its discretion may consider appropriate.

9.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) days of receipt of written request from Landlord, any lender or prospective lender of the Buildings, or at the request of any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Buildings, Tenant shall deliver an estoppel certificate, attaching a true and complete copy of this Lease, including all amendments relative thereto, and certifying with particularity, among other things, (i) a description of any renewal or expansion options, if any; (ii) the amount of rent currently and actually paid by Tenant under this Lease; (iii) that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified; (iv) Tenant is in possession of the Premises; (v) stating whether either Landlord to the best of its knowledge or Tenant is in default under the Lease and, if so, summarizing such default(s) if known; and (vi) stating whether Tenant or Landlord has any offsets or claims against the other party and, if so, specifying with particularity the nature and amount of such offset or claim if known.

9.3 TENANT’S FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OTHER OPERATING REPORTS. Tenant shall provide Landlord with:(A) certified financial statements by an authorized officer of Tenant regarding Tenant’s operations at the Premises, including standard profit and loss statements, actual sales vs. projected sales, an income statement and balance sheet, all of which show that Tenant has the financial wherewithal to meet its obligations as they are due within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, (B) certified financials from an authorized officer or by a third party accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to be delivered within 90 days of the end of each calendar year during the Term, and (C) a personal tax return for each of the Guarantors within 30 days after April 15^thof each Lease Year. Tenant hereby agrees not to make any distributions to owners/investors of Tenant until such time as Tenant has achieved cash flow sufficient to establish a cash reserve equal to six (6) months of Tenant’s operating expenses, including but limited to, Rent (the “Working Capital Reserve”). Once Tenant has established the Working Capital Reserve in Tenant’s bank account (as certified to Landlord monthly), Tenant may distribute excess cash flow earned thereafter to its owners/investors in accordance with its Operating Agreement. In addition to and not by way of limitation of the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees that during the Term of this Lease, absolutely no distributions will be made to owners/investors in Tenant unless and until the Working Capital Reserve amount has been achieved and is being maintained in Tenant’s bank account. During the Term hereof, Landlord, shall have full rights to inspect the books and records of Tenant on reasonable notice and during normal business hours and to have an audit of such books and records done at its own expense to confirm the accuracy and completeness thereof; provided, such audit is performed in connection with all Applicable Laws, including but not limited to, the Marijuana Code. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord is not intended to nor will it actually have any control over Tenant’s business located at the Premises or elsewhere rather it is intended to support the viability of Tenant and its ability to meet its financial obligations. This Lease is not intended to enable Landlord to become a “Controlling Beneficial Owner” or “Passive Beneficial Owner” whatsoever in Tenant as such terms are defined under the Marijuana Code.

10. LANDLORD’S LIABILITY; CERTAIN DUTIES. As used in the Lease, the term “Landlord” means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Buildings or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Buildings at the time in question. Each landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such landlord owns such interest or title. Any landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of transfer, provided that such transfer is not for the primary purpose of avoiding such obligations. However, each landlord shall deliver to its transferee all funds previously paid by Tenant if such funds have not yet been applied under the terms of this Lease.

11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

11.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other default of Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not constitute liquidated damages. If after notice, Tenant fails to cure and Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord. No interest shall accrue to or for the benefit of Tenant on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be obligated to return the Security Deposit to Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease unless and until all of the following events occur: (i) the payment in full of all Rent due pursuant to the Lease; and (ii) the repair of any and all damage to the Premises beyond that caused by casualty, condemnation and normal wear and tear.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord all direct costs and shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment or sublease requested by Tenant. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, consider all factors cognizable by law as reasonable to evaluate and consider in making its determination of whether to consent, including making a study of the financial wherewithal and credit of any proposed successor or subtenant and, in the case of an assignment, may require additional guaranties as appropriate to satisfy reasonable financial standards and criteria for approval.

Landlord may condition any consent to any sublease, upon the execution and delivery to Landlord of a commercially reasonable form of sublease agreement as between Tenant and such subtenant, under the terms of which (i) Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable for the payment of all amounts of rental and other sums and performance of all covenants required of Tenant under the Lease, (ii) there shall be no modifications or amendments of the sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord, (iii) the subtenant shall not be granted any rights of Tenant under the Lease nor the power to exercise same, (iv) it is provided that in the event of any default under the terms and provisions of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect the rental attributable to the subleased space directly from the subtenant without waiving any of Landlord’s rights against Tenant, (v) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant and the subtenant shall, jointly and severally, hold Landlord harmless against and indemnify Landlord for and from any commission(s) payable associated with the sublease, and (vi) nothing in the sublease will be deemed to amend or modify the Lease as between Tenant and Landlord, and the subtenant will expressly confirm and acknowledge that the sublease is inferior and subordinate to the Lease in all respects.

11.21 LANDLORD ASSIGNMENT. Landlord will have the right to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease.

GUARANTY

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration for and as an inducement to Landlord granting, executing, delivering that certain lease of the Premises referenced in the annexed lease for the property located at 00000 X Xx X, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, (the “Lease”), by PW MI CanRE Marengo LLC the Landlord (hereinafter called “Landlord”) to Marengo Cannabis, LLC, the Tenant (hereinafter called “Tenant”), and in further consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Landlord to Tenant, the undersigned (the receipt and sufficiency thereof being mutually acknowledged), the undersigned does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to Landlord the full and timely payment of the rent, additional rents and other charges (hereinafter collectively called “rents”) and the full and timely performance of all other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of the tenant under the Lease to be paid and/or to be performed thereunder, and if any default shall be made by the tenant under the Lease, the undersigned does hereby covenant and agree to pay to Landlord in each and every instance such sum or sums of money such tenant is or shall become liable for and/or obliged to pay under the Lease and/or fully to satisfy and perform any and all such other terms, including the completion of the Greenhouse and other construction by Tenant, covenants and conditions of the Lease on the part of the tenant thereunder to be paid or performed and also to pay any and all damages, expenses and attorneys’ fees including those incurred at all pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, and including attorneys’ fees in any bankruptcy proceedings, in any case whether suit be instituted or not (hereinafter collectively called “damages”) that may be suffered or incurred by Landlord in consequence of the non-payment, partial payment or late payment of said rents or the non-performance, partial performance or late performance of any such other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; such payments or rents to be made monthly or at such other intervals as the same shall or may become payable under the Lease, including any accelerations thereof; such performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions to be made when due under the Lease and such damages to be paid when incurred by Landlord, all without requiring any notice from Landlord or proof of notice or demand, all of which the undersigned hereby expressly waives.

The undersigned hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and any notice to or demand upon the undersigned which Landlord might otherwise be required to give or make in connection with any matter relating to this Guaranty. This Guaranty is absolute and is not conditioned upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease. The maintenance of any action or proceeding by Landlord to recover any sum or sums that may be or become due under the Lease or to secure the performance of any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease or to recover damages, shall not preclude Landlord from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for any subsequent default or defaults of the tenant under the Lease.

The undersigned does hereby consent that without affecting the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty and without notice to the undersigned, time may be given by Landlord to the tenant under the Lease for payment of rents and performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions, or any of them, and such time extended and indulgences granted, from time to time, shall not diminish or affect the obligations of the undersigned or relieve the undersigned from any liability under this Guaranty. The undersigned agrees that the tenant may be dispossessed and/or Landlord may avail itself of or exercise any or all of the rights and/or remedies against the tenant provided by law or by the Lease, and may proceed either against the tenant alone or jointly against the tenant and the undersigned or against the undersigned alone without proceeding against the tenant. The undersigned does hereby further consent to any subsequent changes, modifications and/or amendments of the Lease and any of its terms, covenants and conditions, or in the rents payable thereunder, and/or to any assignment or assignments or subleases of the Lease, and/or to any renewals or extensions thereof, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of the undersigned and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant or any co-guarantor, irrespective of any lien subordination otherwise granted by Landlord, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The undersigned further agrees that the bankruptcy of Tenant or the filing by or against Tenant for relief or remedy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any foreign, state or local laws of similar import shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder notwithstanding that the Lease may have been disaffirmed or otherwise impaired. This Guaranty and any of the provisions hereof cannot be modified, waived or terminated, unless in writing, signed by Landlord. All losses, damages, attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings, whether or not suit be instituted, and other costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which Landlord incurs in connection with or incidental to the enforcement of this Guaranty shall be payable immediately by the undersigned to Landlord. If the undersigned fails to pay any amount payable under this Guaranty when due, interest on such amount shall accrue at the highest legal rate per annum chargeable to the undersigned in the State wherein the Demised Premises are situated.

During the Term of the Lease which this Guaranty is related to, Guarantor covenants and agree that they will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of the Lease and that Tenant and Guarantor will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities. Guarantor covenants and agrees to focus a sufficient and appropriate amount their professional acumen and time and attention on Tenant’s activities and Tenant’s ability to service its debt and pay its Rent to Landlord on a consistent and timely basis.

Upon request of Landlord (or any successor thereto), the undersigned agrees to deliver (i) a Secretary’s certification and resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease and/or, (ii) from time to time, a written estoppel statement assuring the recipient that this Guaranty remains in full force and effect and is fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, and including any other reasonable statement relating hereto as the requesting party may require. The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any federal, state, county or municipal court sitting in the State of Michigan in respect to any action or proceeding brought therein by Landlord against the undersigned concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents to the service upon it of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of such process to the undersigned at the Premises or at such other address as the undersigned may specify in a writing sent to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and hereby agrees that such service shall be deemed sufficient. The undersigned agrees that any final judgment rendered against it in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The undersigned further agrees that any action or proceeding by the undersigned against Landlord in respect to any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty shall be brought only in the State Court having jurisdiction over the County and/or municipality or local political subdivision (as applicable) where the Property covered by the Lease is located, and that the undersigned shall not object in any proceeding to the jurisdiction and venue thereof. This Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Michigan without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Undersigned guarantors who indicate accordingly, represent and warrant that they are married to each other as husband and wife.
