Collateral Documents and Guaranty (a) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (v) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than Remaining Obligations) and the expiration, termination or Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (w) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Credit Documents to any Person other than a Credit Party (provided that if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall provide a certification that such disposition is permitted by this Agreement), (x) subject to Section 10.5, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the requisite lenders under this Agreement, (y) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) below or (z) to the extent the property subject to such Lien becomes an Excluded Asset; (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.2(f) or 6.2(g); and (iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Credit Documents. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10(a). If any Collateral is disposed of as permitted by Section 6.9 to any Person other than a Credit Party, such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, at the expense of the Borrowers, take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Borrowers to effect the foregoing (provided that if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall provide a certification that such disposition is permitted by this Agreement). (b) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. (c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into (including any representation or warranty regarding) the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. (d) No Secured Swap Contract or Cash Management Obligation will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Eligible Counterparty or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section 8.3 and Section 10.5(d)(iv). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Eligible Counterparty and each Cash Management Bank shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Eligible Counterparty, as the case may be.

Parent Guaranty (a) In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to subsection (d) below, the Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the "Parent Guaranty" and, together with the Guaranty of the Parent Guarantor, the "Parent Guaranties") to each holder of a Subsidiary Guaranty and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranties or the obligations of any of the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties, that all obligations of each of the Subsidiaries to the Holders or the Trustee under the Subsidiary Guaranties will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the various Subsidiary Guaranties. (b) The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Parent Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranties or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon collateral, the recovery of any judgment against any Subsidiary, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Guaranties. The Parent Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of any Subsidiary, any right to require a proceeding first against any Subsidiary or right to require the prior disposition of the assets of any Subsidiary to meet its obligations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Parent Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations of the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties. (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to any Subsidiary, or any Custodian, Trustee, or similar official acting in relation to such Subsidiary, any amount paid by such Subsidiary to the Trustee or such Holder, this Parent Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Parent Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.2 for the purposes of this Parent Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration as to any Subsidiary of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of those obligations as provided in Section 6.2, those 115 127 obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purpose of this Parent Guaranty. (d) It is the intention of the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiaries that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the obligations in respect of the Parent Guaranty would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors of the Parent Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court as a result of a determination both that the Parent Guaranty was made without fair consideration and, immediately after giving effect thereto, or at the time that any demand is made thereupon, the Parent Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guaranty shall be reduced by such an amount, if any, that would result in the avoidance of such annulment, avoidance or subordination; provided, however, that any reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be made in the smallest amount as is necessary to reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, "fair consideration," "insolvency," "unable to pay its debts as they mature," "unreasonably small capital" and the effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with applicable law. (e) The Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties in respect of any amounts paid by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Parent Guaranty; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.
Guaranty Agreement FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the agreement of Fieser Development, Inc. (the "Developer") to permit deferral of the $228,344 due from FDI-PM 2003, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (the "Debtor") to the Developer, the undersigned Guarantor, hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise of that certain Developer Fee from Debtor to the Developer, evidenced by the Amended Development Fee Agreement dated the even date herewith, and incorporated herein by this reference. The foregoing described debt is referred to hereinafter as the "Liabilities" or "Liability." The undersigned further agree to pay all expenses paid or incurred by the Debtor or Developer in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing the Liabilities or this Guaranty Agreement (including reasonable attorneys' fees if collected or enforced by law or through an attorney-at-law). The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the extension of credit or other financial accommodations by the Developer to Debtor will be to the interest and advantage of the undersigned, and acknowledges that this Guaranty Agreement is a substantial inducement to the Developer to extend credit to Debtor and that the Developer would not otherwise extend credit to Debtor. Debtor or Developer may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the undersigned, (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities and (c) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not the Debtor or Developer shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have preceded against any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities. Debtor and Developer must mutually agree to (a) extend or renew for any period this Agreement (whether or not longer than the original period) or alter any of the Liabilities, (b) release or compromise any Liability of the undersigned hereunder or any Liability of any other party or parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities, or (c) release, compromise or subordinate its title or security interest, or any part thereof, if any, in all or any property now or hereafter securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, and permit any substitution or exchange for any such property, The undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Liabilities, (b) notice of any amendment or modification of any of the instruments or documents evidencing or securing the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor and protest, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Liabilities or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, and (e) the right to require the Developer to proceed against Debtor on any of the Liabilities, though nothing herein shall prevent the Developer from proceeding against Debtor on any of the Liabilities. In the event any payment of Debtor to the Developer is held to constitute a preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason the Developer is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Debtor to the Developer shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any Liability hereunder, but Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to the Developer upon demand and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments. No delay or failure on the part of the Developer in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Developer of any right or remedy shall preclude other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the Developer permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty Agreement. For the purpose of this Guaranty Agreement, the Liabilities of Debtor to the Developer are guaranteed notwithstanding any right or power of Debtor or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of the undersigned hereunder. Any payment from Guarantor directly to Developer in accordance with this Agreement shall be classified and booked as a non-refundable cost overrun payment from Guarantor to Debtor in consideration of this Guaranty Agreement and then a payment by Debtor to Developer in consideration of the Amended Development Fee Agreement. This Guaranty Agreement shall be binding upon the undersigned, and upon the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned, and may be enforced against them by the Debtor or Developer or their legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns. This Guaranty Agreement has been made and delivered in the state of Texas and shall be construed and governed under Texas law. Whenever possible, each provision of the Guaranty Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition of invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty Agreement. Whenever the singular or plural number, masculine or feminine or neuter is used herein, it shall equally include the other where applicable. In the event this Guaranty Agreement is executed by more than one guarantor, this Guaranty Agreement and the obligations hereunder are the joint and several obligation of all the undersigned. Guarantor consents to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Texas and/or to the jurisdiction and venue of any United States District Court in the State of Texas having jurisdiction over any action or judicial proceeding brought to enforce, construe or interpret this Guaranty. Guarantor agrees to stipulate in any such proceeding that this Guaranty is to be considered for all purposes to have been executed and delivered within the geographical boundaries of the State of Texas, even if it was, in fact, executed and delivered elsewhere.
