|
|
The Guarantors
hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantee to the Lender and its respective successors, indorsees,
transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Obligations.
|
|
|
|
Anything herein
or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed
the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under
applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to
the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).
|
|
|
|
Each Guarantor
agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or
affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender
hereunder.
|
|
|
|
The guarantee
contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect
until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been
satisfied by payment in full.
|
|
|
|
No payment made
by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Lender from the
Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment
(other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or any payment received or collected from such
Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the
Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder
until the Obligations are paid in full.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any
defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of
which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the
issuance of the Company's Common Stock), the Guarantors shall only
be liable for making the Lender whole on a monetary basis for the
Company's failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with
the Transaction Documents.
|
(b) Right of Contribution . Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the
extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be
entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any
other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate
share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The
provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Lender, and
each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Lender for the full
amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
(c) No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment made by any
Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any
Guarantor by the Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Company
or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or
right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek
any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other
Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder,
until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Company on account of
the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to
any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time
when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Lender,
segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Lender in the
exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such
Guarantor to the Lender if required), to be applied against the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Lender may determine.
(d) Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the
Obligations . Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without
notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Lender may be
rescinded by the Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and
the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for
any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in
whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Lender, and the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in
whole or in part, as the Lender may deem advisable from time to
time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at
any time held by the Lender for the payment of the Obligations may
be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Lender
shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or
for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property
subject thereto.
(e) Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
. Each Guarantor waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Lender upon
the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted
or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings
between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Lender, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives to the
extent permitted by law diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company
or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each
Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the
validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the
Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a
defense of payment or performance or fraud or misconduct by Lender)
which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company
or any other Person against the Lender, or (c) any other
circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the
Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may
have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person
or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations
or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the
Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or
remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of
offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or
liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law,
of the Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof,
"demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.
(f) Reinstatement . The guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or
any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.
(g) Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Lender withou
