its sole discretion and without notice, take or refrain from taking
any action that might otherwise be deemed a legal or equitable
release or discharge of Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty, without either impairing or affecting the liability of

Documents;
(e)

Expenses . Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred by Lender in
endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or in enforcing or pursuing its remedies with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations.
5.
Payment by Guarantor
. In the event of any failure to
pay with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
“default” or “event of default” under the
Note or the other Loan Documents (the terms “default”
and “event of default” having the respective meanings
given to such terms in the Note and the other Loan Documents),

Obligations and all other costs, expenses and other amounts payable
under this Guaranty. Lender shall not be required to liquidate any
lien or any other form of security, instrument, or note held by
Lender prior to making such demand. THIS IS A GUARANTY OF PAYMENT

Lender shall not be required to assert any claim, file suit, or
proceed to obtain a judgment against Borrower or any other
guarantor, endorser or surety for the Guaranteed Obligations, or
make any effort at collection of the Guaranteed Obligations, or
foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security or
collateral now or hereafter existing for the Guaranteed
Obligations, or exercise or assert any other right or remedy to
which Lender is or may be entitled in connection with the
Guaranteed Obligations, before or as a condition of enforcing the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty or requiring payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor agrees,
to the full extent it may legally do so, that suit may be brought

person or entity a party to such suit, as Lender may elect.

this Guaranty regardless of whether Borrower is held to be not
liable on the Guaranteed Obligations and regardless of whether all
