Any provisions of this Guaranty which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all rights, remedies and payment provisions under the Prior Guaranty shall continue and survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.
