Primary Obligations This Guaranty is a primary and original ------------------- obligation of Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions until full and final payment in cash (or other consideration acceptable to Foothill in its sole discretion and agreed to by Foothill) of the Guarantied Obligations and the termination of all commitments of Foothill to extend Credit to Debtor or Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that it is directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, liable to Guarantied Party, that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Debtor or any other guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against Guarantor, whether such action is brought against Debtor or any other guarantor or whether Debtor or any other guarantor is joined in such action. Guarantor agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Guarantied Party of whatever remedies it may have against Debtor or any other guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Guarantied Party may at any time possess. Guarantor agrees that any release which may be given by Guarantied Party to Debtor or any other guarantor shall not release Guarantor. Guarantor consents and agrees that Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation to marshal any property or assets of Debtor or any other guarantor in favor of Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.
