(d) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the delivery of any guaranty by PropCo under this Section 10.24, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such financial information, reports, documents and other information with respect to PropCo as are reasonably necessary for Administrative Agent to determine whether PropCo is in compliance with the Financial Covenants.  During such time as a guaranty is outstanding from PropCo, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent each of the financial statements and other deliveries with respect to PropCo as are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the PropCo Credit Agreement) under Section 9.04 of the PropCo Credit Agreement as in effect as of the Modification Closing Date (as modified only by such amendments and modifications thereto as have been approved by Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the their sole discretion).  In the event the PropCo Credit Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall continue to make, or cause to be made, the deliveries required under this clause (d) for so long as the applicable guaranty remains in effect, as if the PropCo Credit Agreement remained in full force and effect.
