First
Amendment to Guaranty Agreement
1. Reaffirmation. Guarantor
hereby (a) ratifies and reaffirms the terms and conditions of the Guaranty; (b)
acknowledges that the Guaranty remains in full force and effect without any
exoneration; (c) agrees that the Loan Documents, as the same are modified in
connection with the Third Modification, will continue to be guaranteed by the
Guarantor as and to the full extent provided in the Guaranty; (d) acknowledges
that there are no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to,
the terms and provisions of and the obligations created and evidenced by the
Guaranty, and to the extent any such claims exist, whether known or unknown,
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives same; and (e) certifies that the
representations and warranties contained in the Guaranty are true and correct
representations and warranties of Guarantor, and hereby remakes to Lender such
representations and warranties as of the date hereof.
2. Net Worth
Covenant. As of the Effective Date, the following covenant is
hereby added as new Section 5(e) of the Guaranty:
(e) Net Worth
Covenant. Guarantor shall, so long as its obligations under
this Guaranty continue, at all times maintain a Tangible Net Worth of not less
than Twenty-Five Million and No/100 US Dollars
($25,000,000.00). “Tangible Net Worth” means, as
of any date, the Net Worth of Guarantor plus Affiliate Debt
(if any) minus
all assets of Guarantor which would be classified as intangible assets under
GAAP, including but not limited to goodwill (whether representing the excess
cost over book value of assets acquired or otherwise), patents, trademarks,
trade names, copyrights, franchises, deferred charges, and capitalized servicing
rights minus
all indebtedness owing to Guarantor from (i) affiliates of Guarantor, and (ii)
shareholders, members, officers or partners of Guarantor. “Net Worth” of Guarantor
means, as of any date, an amount equal to all assets of Guarantor minus Guarantor’s
liabilities, each as determined by GAAP. “Affiliate Debt” means
indebtedness of Guarantor to (i) affiliates of Guarantor, or (ii) shareholders,
members, officers or partners of Guarantor, or owners of direct or indirect
interests in Guarantor (including specifically, without limitation, Behringer
Harvard Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company). Additionally, Guarantor shall, within forty-five (45) days
after the end of each Quarterly Period (as that term is defined in the Loan
Agreement), deliver to Lender statements evidencing, in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, that Guarantor is in compliance with the Tangible Net
Worth covenant set forth herein. Time is of the essence in the
performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.
3. Distributions and
Dividends. As of the Effective Date, the following covenant is
hereby added as new Section 5(f) of the Guaranty:
(f) Distributions and
Dividends. Guarantor shall not, so long as its obligations
under this Guaranty continue, make or allow to be made any Distributions or
Dividends at any time. “Distributions” means, with
respect to Guarantor, the payment of any return on income or proceeds on or with
respect to any partner’s, shareholder’s, member’s or other owner’s investment
and/or capital or other contribution to or account with respect to Guarantor
(whether by cash or other property), or the purchase of any ownership interest
in Guarantor, or any income or proceeds therefrom. “Dividends” means, with respect
to Guarantor, dividends (whether by cash, property or preferred stock) or other
distributions of capital stock or partnership interests, or the redemption or
acquisition of stock or any partnership interest unless made contemporaneously
from the net proceeds of the sale of such stock or partnership interest to an
unaffiliated third party.
