The failure of Landlord to exercise any rights or remedies that it has or may have against Tenant shall in no way impair the obligations of Guarantor.

 

5.         The rights of Landlord under this Lease Guaranty Agreement are assignable and shall follow any transfer of its interest under the Lease.

Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any security deposit or other credit in favor of the Tenant may be applied to cure any default or offset any damages incurred by Landlord under the Lease and Landlord shall not be obligated to apply such deposit or credit to any such default or damages before bringing any action or pursuing any remedy available to Landlord against the Guarantor.
