As to the Obligations, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is without limit.

3. Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding:

 

  (a) any amendment, modification, or extension of the Master Lease or any of the other Transaction Documents;

 

  (b) any compromise, release, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect of any terms of the Master Lease or any of the other Transaction Documents or any other guarantor;

 

  (c) any substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any security for this Guaranty which a Lessor may hold at any time;

 

  (d) any exercise or nonexercise by a Lessor of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Master Lease or any of the other Transaction Documents or any security held by Lessor with respect thereto, or any waiver of any such right, power or remedy;

 

2


 

  (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, or the like of the Lessee or any other guarantor;

 

  (f) any limitation of the Lessee’s liability under the Master Lease or the other Transaction Documents or any limitation of the Lessee’s liability thereunder which may now or hereafter be imposed by any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any illegality, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of the Master Lease or the other Transaction Documents or any term thereof;

 

  (g) any sale, lease, or transfer of all or any part of any interest in any Facility or any or all of the assets of the Lessee to any other person, firm or entity other than to Lessor;

4. Primary Liability. The liability of Guarantor with respect to the Master Lease and other Transaction Documents shall be primary, direct and immediate, and Lessor may proceed against Guarantor: (i) prior to or in lieu of proceeding against the Lessee, its assets, any security deposit, or any other guarantor; and (ii) prior to or in lieu of pursuing any other rights or

 

3


remedies available to Lessor. All rights and remedies afforded to Lessor by reason of this Guaranty or by law are separate, independent and cumulative, and the exercise of any rights or remedies shall not in any way limit, restrict or prejudice the exercise of any other rights or remedies.

In the event of any default under the Master Lease or any other Transaction Document, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not the Lessee is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against the Lessee. Lessor may maintain successive actions for other defaults. Lessor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all indebtedness and Obligations the payment and performance of which are hereby guaranteed have been paid and fully performed.

5. Obligations Not Affected. In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Lessor in its sole discretion deems necessary or expedient, and without notice to Guarantor, Lessor may: (a) amend, alter, compromise, accelerate, extend or change the time or manner for the payment or the performance of any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (b) extend, amend or terminate the Master Lease or any other Transaction Document; or (c) release the Lessee by consent to any assignment (or otherwise) as to all or any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed. Any exercise or non-exercise by Lessor of any right hereby given Lessor, dealing by Lessor with Guarantor or any other guarantor, Lessee or any other person, or change, impairment, release or suspension of any right or remedy of Lessor against any person including the Lessee and any other guarantor will not affect any of the Obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse or offset against Lessor.

6. Waiver. With respect to the Master Lease, Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties and/or guarantors or any other accommodation parties, under any statutory provisions, common law or any other provision of law, custom or practice, and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies including, but not limited to:

 

  (a) any right to require Lessor to proceed against the Lessee or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lessor at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lessor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor or to require that Lessor cause a marshaling of the Lessee’s assets or the assets, if any, given as collateral for this Guaranty or to proceed against the Lessee and/or any collateral, including collateral, if any, given to secure Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty, held by Lessor at any time or in any particular order;

 

  (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity or lack of authority of any other person or persons;

 

  (c) notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Lessee, Lessor, any creditor of the Lessee or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lessor or in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;

 

4


 

  (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lessor which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against the Lessee for reimbursement, or both;

 

  (e) 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;

 

  (f) any duty on the part of Lessor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lessor may now or hereafter know about the Lessee, regardless of whether Lessor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that the Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Lessee and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Obligations or indebtedness hereby guaranteed;

 

  (g) any defense arising because of Lessor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111 (b)(2) of the federal Bankruptcy Code; and

 

  (h) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the federal Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (i) all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors, including without limitation, any extension of time conferred by any law now or hereafter in effect and any requirement or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other notice to which the undersigned may now or hereafter be entitled to the extent such waiver of notice is permitted by applicable law.

7. Warranties. With respect to the Master Lease and the other Transaction Documents, Guarantor warrants that: (a) this Guaranty is executed at the Lessee’s request; and (b) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Lessee on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the Lessee’s financial, condition. Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor’s risks hereunder, and Guarantor further agrees that Lessor shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor information or material acquired in the course of Lessor’s relationship with Lessee.

8. No Subrogation. Until all Obligations of the Lessee under the Master Lease and the other Transaction Documents have been satisfied and discharged in full for one (1) year, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Lessor now has or may hereafter have against the Lessee and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lessor with respect to the Master Lease and the other Transaction Documents.

9. Subordination. If for any reason whatsoever Lessee now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate to Lessee’s obligation to Lessor to pay, as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease, the guaranteed Obligations. During any time in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Master Lease and not been cured within any cure period provided for therein (and provided that Guarantor has received written notice thereof), Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness that does not recite that such claim is expressly subordinate to Lessor’s rights and remedies under the Master Lease. Further, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Master Lease or the other Transaction Documents, which is not cured by the Guarantor, indebtedness or Obligations of Lessee to Guarantor, shall not be paid in whole or in part nor will Guarantor accept any payment of or on account of any amounts owing, without the prior written consent of Lessor and at Lessor’s request, Guarantor shall cause the Lessee to pay to Lessor all or any part of the subordinated indebtedness until the Obligations under the Master Lease or the other Lease Transaction Documents have been paid in full. Any payment by the Lessee in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Lessor, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to Lessor immediately on account of the amounts owing from the Lessee to Lessor. No such payment will reduce or affect in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

10. No Delay. Any payments required to be made by Guarantor hereunder shall become due on demand in accordance with the terms hereof immediately upon the happening of an Event of Default under the Master Lease or any of the Transaction Documents.

11. Application of Payments. With respect to the Master Lease and the other Transaction Documents, and with or without notice to Guarantor, Lessor, in Lessor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Lessor deems appropriate, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from the Lessee or from any other guarantor under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Lessor may determine, to any indebtedness or other obligation of the Lessee with respect to the Master Lease and whether or not such indebtedness or other obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application, and (b) refund to the Lessee any payment received by Lessor under the Master Lease.

12. Guaranty Default.

(a) As used herein, the term “Guaranty Default” shall mean one or more of the following events (subject to applicable cure periods):

 

  (i) the failure of Guarantor to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder at the times specified herein; and

 

  (ii)

the failure of Guarantor to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred

 

6


 

to in Subsection (i) above, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure has been given to Guarantor by Lessor, unless Lessor agrees in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Guaranty Default, Lessor shall have the right to bring such actions at law or in equity, including appropriate injunctive relief, as it deems appropriate to compel compliance, payment or deposit, and among other remedies to recover its attorneys’ fees in any proceeding, including any appeal therefrom and any post-judgment proceedings.

13. Financial Covenants. At all times while any Obligations guaranteed by Guarantor remain outstanding (the “Term of this Guaranty”), Guarantor shall comply with the financial covenants imposed upon Guarantor or any of the Lessees from time to time by Sun’s Credit Agreement. Further, at all times during the Term of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall deliver to Lessor within ten (10) business days of the date on which Guarantor submits them, true and complete copies of any and all written reports, including without limitation reports of Guarantor’s auditors, required of Guarantor by the terms of Sun’s Credit Agreement with respect to Guarantor’s compliance with the financial covenants thereof. In the event Sun’s Credit Agreement is terminated and not replaced during the Term of this Guaranty, Lessor and Guarantor shall in good faith negotiate financial covenants applicable to this Guaranty that shall provide reasonable assurance to Lessor that throughout the remainder of the Term of this Guaranty the financial condition of Guarantor shall remain at least as good as that which was required under Sun’s Credit Agreement.

14. Financial Statements. Within ninety five (95) days after the end of each of Guarantor’s Fiscal Years or concurrently with the filing by Guarantor of its annual report on Form 10K with the SEC, whichever is later, Guarantor shall deliver to Lessor a copy of its (consolidated) Financial Statements, which may be those contained in a copy of such annual report on Form 10-K, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and certified by an officer of Guarantor and reported on by a “Big Four” certified public accounting firm or other certified public accounting firm approved by Lessor (“Accounting Firm”). Together with the Guarantor’s Financial Statements furnished in accordance with the preceding sentence, Guarantor shall deliver (a) an Officer’s Certificate of Guarantor stating that Guarantor is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Guaranty, or if Guarantor is in default, specifying all such defaults, the nature thereof, and the steps being taken to remedy the same, and (b) a report with respect to the financial statements from Guarantor’s accountants, which report shall be unqualified as to going concern and scope of audit of Sun and its subsidiaries and shall provide in substance that (i) such consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position of Guarantor and its subsidiaries as at the dates indicated and the results of their operations and cash flow for the periods indicated in conformity with GAAP and (ii) that the examination by Guarantor’s accountants in connection with such consolidated financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
