NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

Section 1.1             Guaranty of Obligation .  Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender the following obligations (the " Guaranteed Obligations "):

(a)           The due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of the aggregate principal sum of the Loan, as set forth in the Note and the other Loan Documents and all interest accruing thereon, including default interest, late charge, exit fees and prepayment premiums or fees, in each case when due and payable, whether on any installment payment date or at the stated or accelerated maturity, all in accordance with the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b)           The due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of each other sum or charge which at any time becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;

(c)           The due and punctual performance of all of the Borrower’s other obligations under the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(d)           The due and punctual payment in full of all sums advanced, including all Additional Advances, and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan or any part thereof, any renewal, extension or change of or substitution for the Loan or any part thereof, whether made or incurred by Borrower or Lender;

(e)           The due and punctual performance (and not merely the collectibility) of each obligation of Borrower contained in any renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of or substitution or replacement for, all or any part of the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; and

If Borrower fails duly and punctually to pay any of such principal sum, any interest accruing thereon, any other such sum or charge including, without limitation, late charges and prepayment premiums, or any such loss, damages or expenses, Guarantor shall jointly and severally forthwith pay the same, together with interest thereon from the date on which payment thereof by the Borrower became due at the default rate of interest provided in the Loan Agreement.

Section 1.2             Nature of Guaranty .  This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.  This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor.  The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Guaranty, the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

Section 1.3             Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset .  The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

Section 1.4             Payment By Guarantor .  If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when incurred or when due, as applicable, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, and after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period under the Loan Agreement, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein.  Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations.  Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

Section 1.5             No Duty To Pursue Others .  It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.7             Payment of Expenses .  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.8             Effect of Bankruptcy .  In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
