WHEREAS, Liberator Medical Holdings,
Inc., a Nevada corporation and the holder of all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Guarantor, (the “
Company ”), and each party listed as a
“Buyer” (each a “ Buyer ”, and
collectively, the “ Buyers ” and together with
their successors and assigns and each other holder of a Note, each
a “ Noteholder ” and collectively the “
Noteholders ”) on the signature pages attached to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2008 (as
amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“ Securities Purchase Agreement ”), are parties
to the Securities Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Securities Purchase
Agreement requires, among other things, that the Guarantor execute
and deliver to the Buyers a guaranty guaranteeing all of the
obligations of the Company under the Notes (as defined below);
and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined
that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty
benefits, and is in the best interest of, the Guarantor.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce the
Buyers to perform their obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement to, among other things, purchase the Notes and Warrants
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) from the Company,
the Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of the Noteholders as
follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions .
Reference is hereby made to the “Notes” (as defined in
and issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and as
such Notes may be amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
collectively, the “ Notes ”). All capitalized
terms used in this Guaranty, which are defined in the Notes and not
otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings herein as
set forth therein.
SECTION 2. Guaranty . The
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guaranties the
punctual payment, as and when due and payable, by stated maturity
or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company from time to time
owing by it in respect of the Notes, including, without limitation,
all interest that accrues after the commencement of any insolvency
proceeding of the Company or the Guarantor, whether or not the
payment of such interest is unenforceable or is not allowable due
to the existence of such insolvency proceeding, and all fees,
commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other
amounts due or to become due under the Notes (such obligations, to
the extent not paid by the Company, being the “ Guaranteed
Obligations ”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) reasonably
incurred by the Noteholders in enforcing this Guaranty. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s
liability hereunder shall extend to all amounts that constitute
part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company
to the Noteholders but for the fact that they are unenforceable or
not allowable due to the existence of an insolvency proceeding
involving the Guarantor or the Company (each, a “
Transaction Party ”).
1
SECTION 3. Guaranty Absolute;
Continuing Guaranty; Assignments; Limitation of Guaranty
.
(a) The Guarantor guaranties
that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Notes, regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any
of such terms or the rights of the Noteholders with respect
thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to
enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is
brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction
Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or
hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the
following:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Notes or any other
Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Notes,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to
any Transaction Party or otherwise;
(iii) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral
securing the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or any taking, release
or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited
liability company or partnership structure or existence of any
Transaction Party; or
(v) any
other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any
existence of or reliance on any representation by any Buyer or
Noteholder that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or
surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by a Noteholder or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.

(b) This Guaranty is a
continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and
effect until the indefeasible cash payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations)
and/or the conversion of all of the Notes into shares of Common
Stock (or such other securities or consideration the Notes are then
convertible into or exchangeable for in accordance with the terms
of the Notes and payment of all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) (the “
Guaranty Satisfaction Conditions ”) and shall not
terminate for any reason prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes
(other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranty Satisfaction
Conditions) and (ii) be binding upon the Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by each Noteholder and its successors and
permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, this Guaranty will expire
and the Guarantor will be released from its obligations hereunder
upon the earlier of the satisfaction in full of the Guaranty
Satisfaction Conditions.
(c) Any term or provision of
this Guaranty or any Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which the
Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum
amount for the Guarantor can be liable without rendering this
Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, as it relates to the
Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable requirements of
law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
(including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable laws
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or the protection of
creditors).
SECTION 4. Waivers . To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby waives
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty
and any requirement that the Noteholders exhaust any right or take
any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any
collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations. The
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 4 is knowing
