GUARANTY

      THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty” ) is made as of November 10, 2005 by DEVCON INTERNATIONAL CORP. , a Florida corporation (“ Guarantor ”), to and for the benefit of CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“ Lender ”).

      WHEREAS , Devcon Security Holdings, Inc., Devcon Security Services Corp., Coastal Security Company, Coastal Security Systems, Inc. and Central One, Inc. (collectively, “Borrower ”) and Lender have entered into that certain Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”), pursuant to which Borrower has agreed to borrow from Lender, and Lender has agreed to lend to Borrower, certain amounts pursuant to a bridge loan facility, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and all of the other agreements, documents, instruments, certificates, reports and financing statements heretofore or hereafter executed or delivered in connection therewith or with the Loan to be made under it, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “ Loan Documents ”);

      WHEREAS, Guarantor requested that Lender make the Loan to Borrower pursuant to the terms of, and that Borrower and Lender execute, deliver and perform under, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

      WHEREAS, Guarantor is the owner of all of the ownership interests in Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and, pursuant to Lender’s request, has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement of even date herewith;

      WHEREAS, Lender is willing to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to make the Loan available only upon the condition that Guarantor executes and delivers to Lender this Guaranty and agrees to perform and to comply with its obligations under this Guaranty; and

      WHEREAS, Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that, as the owner of all of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings, (a) it will benefit from the advancement of funds under the Loan to Borrower, (b) the Loan constitutes valuable consideration to Guarantor, (c) this Guaranty is intended to be inducement to Lender to continue to extend credit and the Loan to Borrower, and (d) Lender is relying upon this Guaranty in making and advancing the Loan to Borrower.

      NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and as an inducement for Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees as follows:

 


 

     1. All capitalized terms in this Guaranty and not defined herein shall have the defined meanings provided in the Loan Agreement. Whenever the context so requires, each reference to gender includes the masculine and feminine, the singular number includes the plural and vice versa. The words “hereof” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and references to section, article, annex, schedule, exhibit and like references are references to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified. A Default or Event of Default shall “continue” or be “continuing” until such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived by Lender. References in this Guaranty to any Person (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall include such Person and its successors and permitted assigns.

     2. Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (i) the due and punctual payment and performance when due of the principal of any Note and the interest thereon and of the Obligations and any and all other monies and amounts due or which may become due on or with respect to any of the foregoing, and the due and punctual performance and observance by Borrower of all of the other terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of the Loan Documents, in any case whether according to the present terms thereof, at any earlier or accelerated date or dates or pursuant to any extension of time or to any change in the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions thereof now or at any time hereafter made or granted, (ii) all liabilities and obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and (iii) all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, and search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses) that may be incurred or advanced by Lender in any way in connection with the foregoing and/or otherwise required to be paid by Guarantor hereunder (collectively, such items in clauses (i) through (iii) being the “Guaranteed Obligations” ). Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty shall be deemed a continuing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Loan Documents.

     3. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. If any Guaranteed Obligation is not satisfied when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the Guarantor shall forthwith satisfy such Guaranteed Obligation, upon demand, and no such satisfaction shall discharge the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder until all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in cash and performed and satisfied in full and the Loan Agreement terminated. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary and direct and not conditional or contingent upon the enforceability of any obligation, the solvency of Borrower or any other Person, any obligation or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guaranty or the pursuit by Lender of any remedies it may have against Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to make any demand on Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person or to sell at foreclosure or otherwise pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral of Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person before, simultaneously with or after enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, and any one or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be brought against Guarantor in the same action brought against Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person or in separate actions, as often as Lender may deem advisable, in its sole discretion. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall

not in any way be affected by any action taken or not taken by Lender, which action or inaction is hereby consented and agreed to by Guarantor, or by the partial or complete unenforceability or invalidity of any other guaranty or surety agreement, pledge, assignment, Lien (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or other security interest or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of the value, genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Collateral or any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     4. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the making of the Loan under the Loan Agreement) as follows:

          (B) Guarantor (i) has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as contemplated in the Loan Documents, and (ii) is duly qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which failure so to qualify could reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

          (C) Guarantor has all requisite power and authority (i) to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and Guarantor is under no legal restriction, limitation or disability that would prevent it from doing any of the foregoing.
