Definitions
. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined
in the Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the
meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The words
“hereof,” “herein,” “hereto”
and “hereunder” and words of similar import when
used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole
and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and
Section and Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless
otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein
shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural
forms of such terms. The following terms shall have the
following meanings:
“ Guarantee ”
means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
“ Obligations
” means, in addition to all other costs and expenses of
collection incurred by Purchasers in enforcing any of such
Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and
obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint
or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be
hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of any Debtor to
the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, all
obligations under this Agreement, the Debentures, this Guarantee
and any other instruments, agreements or other documents
executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or
involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with
others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or
extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all
or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid,
to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or
recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Secured Parties
as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such
obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or
modified from time to time. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations”
shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and
interest on the Debentures and the loans extended pursuant
thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs,
obligations and liabilities of the Debtors from time to time

Guarantee and any other instruments, agreements or other
documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or
therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to
post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would
be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such
amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence
of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
any Debtor.

“ Permitted Subsidiary
Indebtedness ” means (a) the Indebtedness existing on
the date of the Purchase Agreement and set forth on Schedule
3.1(aa) to the Purchase Agreement, (b) lease obligations,

2.
Guarantee
.
(a)
Guarantee
.
(i)
The Guarantors hereby, jointly
and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the
Purchasers and their 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.
2
(ii)
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)).
(iii)
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 Purchasers hereunder.
(iv)
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.
(v)
No payment made by the Company,
any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person
or received or collected by the Purchasers 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.
(vi)
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 Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for the
Company's failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with
the Transaction Documents.
3
(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 Purchasers, and each Guarantor shall remain
liable to the Purchasers 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 Purchasers, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Purchasers against
the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Purchasers 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
Purchasers 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 Purchasers,
segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the
Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly
indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required), to
be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Purchasers 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 Purchasers may be
rescinded by the Purchasers 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 Purchasers, and the Purchase
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 Purchasers may deem advisable from time to time,
and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any
time held by the Purchasers for the payment of the Obligations
may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The
Purchasers 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 Purchasers 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
Purchasers, 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
Purchase 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 Purchasers, (b) any defense,
set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
