The term “Guaranteed Obligations” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes all obligations of Client to Creditor (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and unpaid interest, including interest that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, would have accrued on the Guaranteed Obligations) now existing or hereafter incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether Client may be liable jointly, severally, or solidarily with others, whether recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes barred by any statute of limitations or whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes otherwise unenforceable, and includes Client’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every term, condition, agreement, representation, warranty, undertaking and provision to be performed by Client under the Documents or otherwise. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection.

1.2 Unlimited Guaranty, There are no dollar limitations on the amount of Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.

1.3 Continuing Guaranty, This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain effective until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed and discharged as provided in Section 8 and Creditor has given written notice of the fact to Guarantor.

Guarantor agrees that any releases which may be given by Creditor to Client or any other guarantor shall not release it from this Guaranty.

15

2 INDEMNITY

2.1 Indemnity, In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.1.2, Guarantor agrees to indemnify, defend, exonerate, pay and hold Creditor and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Creditor (the “Indemnities”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to Creditor and expert witness fees and disbursements) for such Indemnities in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any matter relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty (the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not include liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.

2.3 Defense of Actions. If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising in connection with any of the Indemnified Liabilities is brought against any Indemnitee indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section, Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Guarantor (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Guarantor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

Each of the waivers set forth above is made by Guarantor with Guarantor’s full knowledge of the significance and consequences resulting therefrom. Guarantor hereby agrees that these waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy, and agrees that Guarantor will not contest these waivers on grounds of reasonableness or contravention to public policy.

Agreement

** **

1. GUARANTY

1.1 Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor, and any and all successor entities resulting by operation merger, law, or otherwise, including but not limited to any successor debtor in possession of Guarantor as such term is used in Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C § 1101 et seq.), unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees and promises to pay to Creditor, upon the written demand of Creditor, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, any and all indebtedness and obligations (hereinafter collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) of the Client, and all successor-in-interest of Client by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any Trustee (as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C § 1101 et seq., or successor statutes) or debtor-in-possession, and including, but not limited to, any successor-in-interest arising out of any merger or reorganization involving Client, whether Client is a surviving or disappearing person or entity as a result of those transactions to Creditor under the Agreement or any other note, loan agreement, credit agreement, security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage, or other documents or instrument (hereinafter collectively, the “Documents”) or otherwise.

The term “Guaranteed Obligations” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes all obligations of Client to Creditor (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and unpaid interest, including interest that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, would have accrued on the Guaranteed Obligations) now existing or hereafter incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether Client may be liable jointly, severally, or solidarily with others, whether recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes barred by any statute of limitations or whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes otherwise unenforceable, and includes Client’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every term, condition, agreement, representation, warranty, undertaking and provision to be performed by Client under the Documents or otherwise. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection.

1.2 Unlimited Guaranty, There are no dollar limitations on the amount of Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.

1.3 Continuing Guaranty, This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain effective until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed and discharged as provided in Section 8 and Creditor has given written notice of the fact to Guarantor.

1.4 Solidary Liability, Guarantor agrees that its liability and obligations in favor of Creditor shall be joint, several and in solido with Client and all other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, and that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce Creditor’s rights under this Guaranty, whether action is brought against Client or whether Client is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor agrees that any releases which may be given by Creditor to Client or any other guarantor shall not release it from this Guaranty.

21

2 INDEMNITY

2.1 Indemnity, In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.1.2, Guarantor agrees to indemnify, defend, exonerate, pay and hold Creditor and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Creditor (the “Indemnities”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to Creditor and expert witness fees and disbursements) for such Indemnities in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any matter relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty (the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not include liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.

2.2 Notice. Each Indemnitee will promptly notify Guarantor of each event of which it has knowledge that may give rise to a claim under this section.

2.3 Defense of Actions. If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising in connection with any of the Indemnified Liabilities is brought against any Indemnitee indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section, Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Guarantor (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Guarantor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

3 CONSENTS BY GUARANTOR

22

4 Waivers

4.1 Defenses. Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert against Creditor as a defense, counterclaim, setoff or crossclaim, all defenses, including, but not limited to, the duty to act in a commercially reasonable manner, and further including, but not limited to, any defense arising by reason of any modification of the Guaranteed Obligations in any form whatsoever, any counterclaim, any setoff or any crossclaim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have under applicable law, rule, arrangement or relationship against Client, Creditor or any other party. Guarantor waives all defenses, counterclaims and setoffs of any kind or nature arising, directly or indirectly, from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity or enforceability of the Documents or any security interest thereunder.

4.2 Election of Remedies*.* Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon election of remedies by Creditor, which in any matter impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Client for reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against any other person or security.

4.3 Presentment, Demand and Notice. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, diligence, and notices of existence, or creation of the Guaranteed Obligations or of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations incurred or created after this Guaranty, and all other notices or formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled under applicable law.

4.4 Remedies Against Client. As a condition to payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty, Creditor shall not be required to, and Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to require Creditor to, prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Client or any other party liable to Creditor on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or to require Creditor to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, liens or encumbrances granted to Client by Creditor or any other party on account of the Guaranteed Obligations.

4.5 Subrogation Rights*.* Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or any other rights that would result in Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Client under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law. Guarantor irrevocably waives all such rights, the right to assert any such rights and any right to enforce any remedy which Creditor now or any hereafter have against Client and hereby irrevocably waives any benefit of and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Creditor, however acquired.

4.6 Claims Against Client. Guarantor hereby waives any and all claims which Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Client, whether arising hereunder or otherwise.

4.7 Revocation. Guarantor shall have no right to revoke this continuing guaranty.

Guarantor shall have no right to require Creditor to proceed against Client, to proceed against or exhaust any security in any particular order, to apply property recovered from Client to discharge or reduce the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, and to require diligence in taking any action to collect on the obligations of Client or to collect on the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.

Each of the waivers set forth above is made by Guarantor with Guarantor’s full knowledge of the significance and consequences resulting therefrom. Guarantor hereby agrees that these waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy, and agrees that Guarantor will not contest these waivers on grounds of reasonableness or contravention to public policy. However, in the event any of these waivers or any part thereof are nevertheless deemed contrary to public policy, Guarantor agrees that those waivers and/or those parts of waivers not deemed contrary to public policy are severable and will survive with full force and effect.

5 SUBORDINATION

Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Client to Guarantor are hereby postponed in favor of the full payment and performance of all present and future debts and obligations of Client to Creditor. Any instruments now or hereafter evidencing any indebtedness of Client to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and, if Creditor so requests, shall be delivered to Creditor. Upon liquidation bankruptcy, or distribution of any of Client’s assets, Guarantor shall assign to the Creditor all of Guarantor’s claims on account of such indebtedness so that Creditor shall receive all dividends and payments on such indebtedness until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. This section shall constitute such an assignment if Guarantor fails to execute and deliver such an assignment. All monies or other property of Guarantor at any time in Creditor’s possession may be held by Creditor as security for any and all obligations of Guarantor to Creditor, now existing or hereafter arising, whether absolute or contingent, whether due or become due, and whether under this Guaranty or otherwise. Guarantor also agrees that Creditor’s books and records showing the account between Creditor and Client shall be admissible in any action or proceeding and shall be binding upon Guarantor for the purpose of establishing the terms set forth therein and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof.

23

6 FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CLIENT

Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Client and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of Client’s financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Creditor, Guarantor hereby waives its right, if any, to require, and Creditor is relieved of any obligation or duty to disclose to Guarantor any information which Creditor may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances.

7 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
