Upon the effectiveness of this guaranty, on and after the date hereof, each reference in any other Loan Document to the Existing Guaranty (including any reference therein to “thereunder”, “thereof”, “therein” or words of like import referring thereto) shall mean and be a reference to this guaranty.
