undersigned
INCENTRA SOLUTIONS, INC. ("Guarantor"), jointly and severally
unconditionally
guarantees and promises to pay to Bank or order, on demand in
lawful money of
the United States of America and in immediately available funds,
any and all
Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers to Bank. The term
"Indebtedness" is used
herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all
advances, debts,
obligations and liabilities of Borrowers, or any of them,
heretofore, now or
hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or
involuntary and
however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether Borrowers
may be liable
individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon
such Indebtedness
may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable.
2. MAXIMUM LIABILTY; SUCCESSIVE TRANSACTIONS; REVOCATION;
OBLIGATION UNDER OTHER
GUARANTIES. The liability of Guarantor shall not exceed at any
time the sum of
$5,000,000.00 for principal, plus all interest thereon and costs
and expenses
pertaining to the enforcement of this Guaranty and/or the
collection of the
Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers to Bank. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,
Bank may permit the Indebtedness of Borrowers to exceed
Guarantor's liability.
This is a continuing guaranty and all rights, powers and
remedies hereunder
shall apply to all past, present and future Indebtedness of each
of the
Borrowers to Bank, including that arising under successive
transactions which
shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it,
or from time to
time create new Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness
has been
satisfied, and notwithstanding the death, incapacity,
dissolution, liquidation
or bankruptcy of any of the Borrowers or Guarantor or any other
event or
proceeding affecting any of the Borrowers or Guarantor. This
Guaranty shall not
apply to any new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by
Bank of written
notice of its revocation as to such new Indebtedness; provided
however, that
loans or advances made by Bank to any of the Borrowers after
revocation under
commitments existing prior to receipt by Bank of such
revocation, and
extensions, renewals or modifications, of any kind, of
Indebtedness incurred by
any of the Borrowers or committed by Bank prior to receipt by
Bank of such
revocation, shall not be considered new Indebtedness. Any such
notice must be
sent to Bank by registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to its office
at Colorado RCBO, 1740 Broadway, 3rd Floor, Denver, CO 80274, or
at such other
address as Bank shall from time to time designate. Any payment
by Guarantor with
respect to the Indebtedness shall not reduce Guarantor's maximum
obligation
hereunder unless written notice to that effect is actually
received by Rank at
or prior to the time of such payment. The obligations of
Guarantor hereunder
shall be in addition to any obligations of Guarantor under any
other guaranties
of any liabilities or obligations of any of the Borrowers or any
other persons
heretofore or hereafter given to Bank unless said other
guaranties are expressly
modified or revoked in writing; and this Guaranty shall not,
unless expressly
herein provided, affect or invalidate any such other
guaranties.

conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and

benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor's
liability hereunder

limitations applicable
to Guarantor's liability hereunder. The liability of Guarantor
hereunder shall
be reinstated and revived and the rights of Bank shall continue
if and to the
extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on
account of any
Indebtedness guaranteed hereby is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored by
Bank, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or
otherwise, all ~s though such amount had not been paid. The
determination as to
whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall
be made by Bank
in its sole discretion; provided however, that if Bank chooses
to contest any
such matter at the request of Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to
indemnify and hold
Bank harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including
reasonable
attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Bank in connection
therewith, including
without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto,
