GUARANTY
Exhibit 4.12
This GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of October 17, 2008, is made by Liberator Health and
Education Services, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the “Noteholders”
(as defined below).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and the beneficial holder of
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Guarantor, (the “Company”), as issuer,
Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the
Company, as guarantor, and each party listed as a “Buyer” (each a “Buyer”, and collectively, the
“Buyers” and together with their successors and assigns and each other holder of a Note, each a
“Noteholder” and collectively the “Noteholders”) on the signature pages attached to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2008 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time
to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), are parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, Section 14(c) of the Notes (as defined below) issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement requires that the Company cause certain newly acquired subsidiaries to execute
and deliver to the Buyers a guaranty guaranteeing all of the obligations of the Company under the
Notes; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty benefits, and is in the best interest of, the Guarantor.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein, for the financial
and management support given to the Guarantor by the Company and in order to satisfy the
obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of the
Noteholders as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the “Notes” (as defined in and
issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and as such Notes may be amended, restated,
replaced or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
collectively, the “Notes”). All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty, which are defined in the
Notes and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein.
SECTION 2. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably,
guaranties the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, by stated maturity or otherwise, of
all obligations of the Company from time to time owing by it in respect of the Notes, including,
without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding
of the Company or the Guarantor, whether or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or is
not allowable due to the existence of such insolvency proceeding, and all fees, commissions,
expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under the Notes
(such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Company, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and
agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) reasonably
incurred by the Noteholders in enforcing this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall extend
to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the
Company to the Noteholders but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of an insolvency proceeding involving the Guarantor or the Company (each, a “Transaction
Party”).
(a) The Guarantor guaranties that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Notes, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter
in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Noteholders with
respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the
Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any
Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any
defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Notes or any other Transaction Document (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from the Notes, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting
from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise;
(iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral securing the
Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or
partnership structure or existence of any Transaction Party; or
(v) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or
reliance on any representation by any Buyer or Noteholder that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a
Noteholder or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction
Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
-2-
(b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until
the indefeasible cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity
obligations) and/or the conversion of all of the Notes into shares of Common Stock (or such other
securities or consideration the Notes are then convertible into or exchangeable for in accordance
with the terms of the Notes and payment of all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other
than inchoate indemnity obligations) (the “Guaranty Satisfaction Conditions”) and shall not
terminate for any reason prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes (other than satisfaction in full
of the Guaranty Satisfaction Conditions) and (ii) be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors
and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Noteholder and
its successors and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
for the avoidance of doubt, this Guaranty will expire and the Guarantor will be released from its
obligations hereunder upon the earlier of the satisfaction in full of the Guaranty Satisfaction
Conditions
(c) Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which the Guarantor shall be liable hereunder
shall not exceed the maximum amount for the Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty
or any other Transaction Document, as it relates to the Guarantor, subject to avoidance under
applicable requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including
the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of Title
11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable laws relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or the protection of creditors).
SECTION 4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby
waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Noteholders exhaust any right
or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any collateral, if any,
securing the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement
and the Notes and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and
acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations,
whether existing now or in the future.
SECTION 5. Subrogation. The Guarantor may not exercise any rights that it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Company or any other guarantor of the Company’s obligations under the
Notes, or any Noteholder or Buyer, that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of any Noteholder against the Company or any other guarantor or
any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not such claim, remedy or
right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Company or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash
or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of
such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations) shall have indefeasibly
-3-
been paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor in violation of the
immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall forthwith be paid to the Noteholders to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, or to be held as
collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter
arising.

consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.
(c) No failure on the part of any Noteholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
