Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any
of
Lender's rights or of any of Borrower's or any Grantor's obligations as to
any
future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this
Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not
constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is

modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable, if the offending
provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or

covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement

covenants will survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to Lender
of
the Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made
and
redacted by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made, and shall remain
in

above, whichever is the last to occur.

AMOUNT
OF GUARANTY. The
amount of this Guaranty is Unlimited.
CONTINUING
UNLIMITED GUARANTY.
For good
and valuable consideration, CENTURY CASINOS, INC. ("Guarantor") absolutely
and
unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to COLORADO BUSINESS BANK
("Lender") or its order, in legal tender of the United States of America, the
indebtedness (as that term is defined below) of CC TOLLGATE LLC ("Borrower")
to
Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty. Under this
Guaranty, the liability of Guarantor is unlimited and the obligations of
Guarantor are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS
GUARANTEED.
The
indebtedness guaranteed by this Guaranty includes any and all of Borrower's
indebtedness to Lender and is used in the most comprehensive sense and means
and
includes any and all of Borrower's liabilities, obligations and debts to Lender,
now existing or hereinafter incurred or created, including, without limitation,
all loans, advances. interest, costs, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit
card
indebtedness, lease obligations, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower,
or any of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any
of
them; and whether any such indebtedness is voluntarily or involuntarily
incurred, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined; whether Borrower may be liable individually or
jointly with others, or primarily or secondarily, or as guarantor or surety;
whether recovery on the Indebtedness may be or may become barred or
unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; and whether the
Indebtedness arises from transactions which may be voidable on account of
infancy, insanity, ultra xxxxx, or otherwise.
DURATION
OF GUARANTY.
This
Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of
any
acceptance by Xxxxxx, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will
continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before
receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally
paid and satisfied and all of Guarantor's other obligations under this Guaranty
shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty,
Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor's written notice of revocation
must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Xxxxxx's address listed above
or
such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of
this
Guaranty will apply only to advances or new Indebtedness created after actual
receipt by Xxxxxx of Guarantor's written revocation. For this purpose and
without limitation, the term "new indebtedness" does not include Indebtedness
which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated,
undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined
or due. This Guaranty will continue to bind Guarantor for all indebtedness
incurred by Xxxxxxxx or committed by Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor's
written notice of revocation, including any extensions, renewals, substitutions
or modifications of the Indebtedness. All renewals, extensions, substitutions,
and modifications of the indebtedness granted after Guarantor's revocation,
are
contemplated under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to
be
new Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor's estate as to Indebtedness
created both before and after Guarantor's death or incapacity, regardless of
Xxxxxx's actual notice of Guarantor's death. Subject to the foregoing.
Guarantor's executor or administrator or other legal representative may
terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have
terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or
termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from
any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining
Guarantors under this Guaranty. It
is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of
indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges
and agrees that reductions in the amount of Indebtedness, even to zero dollars
($0.00), prior to Guarantor's written revocation of this Guaranty shall not
constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon
Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the
guaranteed indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the indebtedness
guaranteed may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).

at
law or
in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness. If
payment is made by Xxxxxxxx, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third
party, on the Indebtedness and thereafter Xxxxxx is forced to remit the amount
of that payment to Xxxxxxxx's trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person
under any federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors,
the
Indebtedness shall be considered unpaid for the purpose of the enforcement
of
this Guaranty.
Guarantor
further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions
to
the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff, counterclaim,
counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim, demand or
right
may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTOR'S
UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made
with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that,
under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public
policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable
law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by law or public policy.
RIGHT
OF SETOFF.
To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all
Guarantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other
account). This includes all accounts Guarantor holds jointly with someone else
and all accounts Guarantor may open in the future. However, this does not
include any IRA or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would
be prohibited by law. Guarantor authorizes Xxxxxx, to the extent permitted
by
applicable law, to hold these funds if there is a default, and Lender may apply
the funds in these accounts to pay what Guarantor owes under the terms of this
Guaranty.
SUBORDINATION
OF XXXXXXXX'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR.
Guarantor agrees that the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now
existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor
may
now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes
insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may
have
against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may
now
or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent
liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment
for
the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets
of
Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Xxxxxx and Guarantor
shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness
of Borrower to Lender. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which
it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower;
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this
Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Xxxxxxxxx agrees, and Xxxxxx is
hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing
statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take
such
other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve
and
enforce its rights under this Guaranty.
MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS.
The
following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Guaranty:
Amendments.
This
Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this
Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective
unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged
or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Attorneys'
Fees; Expenses.
Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of Xxxxxx's reasonable costs and
expenses, including Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees and Xxxxxx's legal expenses,
incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty. Lender may hire
or
pay someone else to help enforce this Guaranty, and Guarantor shall pay the
reasonable costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include
Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Guarantor also
shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the
court.
Caption
Headings.
Caption
headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to
be
used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty.
Governing
Law. This Guaranty will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and,
to
the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Colorado
without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Guaranty has been
accepted by Xxxxxx in the State of Colorado.
Integration.
Xxxxxxxxx further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully understands the
terms
of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity to be advised by Guarantor's
attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the Guaranty fully reflects Guarantor's
intentions and parol evidence is not required to interpret the terms of this
Guaranty. Guarantor hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from all
losses, claims, damages, and costs (including Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees) suffered
or incurred by Xxxxxx as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties,
representations and agreements of this paragraph.
Interpretation.
In all
cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used
in
this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural
where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than
one
Borrower named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than
one Guarantor, the words "Borrower" and "Guarantor" respectively shall mean
all
and any one or more of them. The words "Guarantor," "Borrower," and "Lender"
include the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If
a
court finds that any provision of this Guaranty is not valid or should not
be
enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty
will
not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the
provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found
to
be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are
corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities,
it
is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor
or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under
this Guaranty.
Notices.
Any
notice required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in writing,
and,
except for revocation notices by Guarantor, shall be effective when actually
delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required
by
law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified
or
registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the
beginning of this Guaranty. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in
writing and shall be effective upon delivery to Lender as provided in the
section of this Guaranty entitled "DURATION OF GUARANTY." Any party may change
its address for notices under this Guaranty by giving formal written notice
to
the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the
party's address. For notice purposes, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to keep Xxxxxx informed
at all times of Guarantor's current address. Unless otherwise provided or
required by law, if there is more than one Guarantor, any notice given by Lender
to any Guarantor is deemed to be notice given to all Guarantors.
No
Waiver by Xxxxxx.
Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such
waiver is given in writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No delay or omission on the
part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right
or any other right. A waiver by Xxxxxx of a provision of this Guaranty shall
not
prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict
compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No
prior
waiver by Xxxxxx, nor any course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Guarantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Guarantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is
required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any
instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where
such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to any limitations stated in this Guaranty on transfer of Guarantor's interest,
this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties,
their successors and assigns.
Waive
Jury. Xxxxxx and Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Xxxxxx or Borrower against
the other.

AMOUNT
OF GUARANTY. The
amount of this Guaranty is Unlimited.
CONTINUING
UNLIMITED GUARANTY.
For good
and valuable consideration, CENTURY CASINOS TOLLGATE, INC. ("Guarantor")
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to COLORADO
BUSINESS BANK ("Lender") or its order, in legal tender of the United States
of
America, the indebtedness (as that term is defined below) of CC TOLLGATE LLC
("Borrower") to Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty.
Under this Guaranty, the liability of Guarantor is unlimited and the obligations
of Guarantor are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS
GUARANTEED.
The
indebtedness guaranteed by this Guaranty includes any and all of Borrower's
indebtedness to Lender and is used in the most comprehensive sense and means
and
includes any and all of Borrower's liabilities, obligations and debts to Lender,
now existing or hereinafter incurred or created, including, without limitation,
all loans, advances, interest, costs, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit
card
indebtedness, lease obligations, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower,
or any of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any
of
them; and whether any such indebtedness is voluntarily or involuntarily
incurred, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined; whether Borrower may be liable individually or
jointly with others, or primarily or secondarily, or as guarantor or surety;
whether recovery on the Indebtedness may be or may become barred or
unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; and whether the
Indebtedness arises from transactions which may be voidable on account of
infancy, insanity, ultra xxxxx, or otherwise.
DURATION
OF GUARANTY.
This
Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of
any
acceptance by Xxxxxx, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will
continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before
receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally
paid and satisfied and all of Guarantor's other obligations under this Guaranty
shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty,
Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor's written notice of revocation
must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Xxxxxx's address listed above
or
such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of
this
Guaranty will apply only to advances or new Indebtedness created after actual
receipt by Xxxxxx of Guarantor's written revocation. For this purpose and
without limitation, the term "new indebtedness" does not include Indebtedness
which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated,
undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined
or due. This Guaranty will continue to bind Guarantor for all indebtedness
incurred by Xxxxxxxx or committed by Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor's
written notice of revocation, including any extensions, renewals, substitutions
or modifications of the Indebtedness. All renewals, extensions, substitutions,
and modifications of the indebtedness granted after Guarantor's revocation,
are
contemplated under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to
be
new Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor's estate as to Indebtedness
created both before and after Guarantor's death or incapacity, regardless of
Xxxxxx's actual notice of Guarantor's death. Subject to the foregoing.
Guarantor's executor or administrator or other legal representative may
terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have
terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or
termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from
any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining
Guarantors under this Guaranty. It
is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of
indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges
and agrees that reductions in the amount of Indebtedness, even to zero dollars
($0.00), prior to Guarantor's written revocation of this Guaranty shall not
constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon
Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the
guaranteed indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the indebtedness
guaranteed may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).
GUARANTOR'S
AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER.
Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before or after any revocation hereof,

(C) to take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the
Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not

one
or more of Borrower's sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms

documents acquired by Lender in the course of its relationship with

payment is made by Xxxxxxxx, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third
party, on the Indebtedness and thereafter Xxxxxx is forced to remit the amount
of that payment to Xxxxxxxx's trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person

right
may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTOR'S
UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made
with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that,
under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public
policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable
law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by law or public policy.
RIGHT
OF SETOFF.
To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all
Guarantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other
account). This includes all accounts Guarantor holds jointly with someone else
and all accounts Guarantor may open in the future. However, this does not
include any IRA or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would
be prohibited by law. Guarantor authorizes Xxxxxx, to the extent permitted
by
applicable law, to hold these funds if there is a default, and Lender may apply
the funds in these accounts to pay what Guarantor owes under the terms of this
Guaranty.
SUBORDINATION
OF XXXXXXXX'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR.
Guarantor agrees that the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now
existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor
may
now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes
insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may
have
against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may
now
or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent
liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment
for
the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets
of
Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Xxxxxx and Guarantor
shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness
of Borrower to Lender. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which
it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower;
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this
Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Xxxxxxxxx agrees, and Xxxxxx is
hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing
statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take
such
other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve
and
enforce its rights under this Guaranty.
MISCELLANEOUS

expenses, including Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees and Xxxxxx's legal expenses,

reasonable costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include

court.

Governing
Law. This Guaranty will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and,
to
the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Colorado
without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Guaranty has been

Integration.
Xxxxxxxxx further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully understands the
terms
of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity to be advised by Guarantor's
attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the Guaranty fully reflects Guarantor's

or incurred by Xxxxxx as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties,
representations and agreements of this paragraph.
Interpretation.
In all
cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used
in
this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural
where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than
one
Borrower named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than
one Guarantor, the words "Borrower" and "Guarantor" respectively shall mean
all
and any one or more of them. The words "Guarantor," "Borrower," and "Lender"
include the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If
a
court finds that any provision of this Guaranty is not valid or should not
be
enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty
will
not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the
provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found
to
be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are
corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities,
it
is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor
or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under
this Guaranty.
Notices.
Any
notice required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in writing,
and,
except for revocation notices by Guarantor, shall be effective when actually
delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required
by
law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified
or
registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the
beginning of this Guaranty. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in
writing and shall be effective upon delivery to Lender as provided in the
section of this Guaranty entitled "DURATION OF GUARANTY." Any party may change
its address for notices under this Guaranty by giving formal written notice
to
the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the
party's address. For notice purposes, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to keep Xxxxxx informed
at all times of Guarantor's current address. Unless otherwise provided or
required by law, if there is more than one Guarantor, any notice given by Lender
to any Guarantor is deemed to be notice given to all Guarantors.
No
Waiver by Xxxxxx.
Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such
waiver is given in writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No delay or omission on the
part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right
or any other right. A waiver by Xxxxxx of a provision of this Guaranty shall
not
prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict
compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No
prior
waiver by Xxxxxx, nor any course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Guarantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Guarantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is
required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any
instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where
such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to any limitations stated in this Guaranty on transfer of Guarantor's interest,
this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties,
their successors and assigns.
Waive
Jury. Xxxxxx and Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Xxxxxx or Borrower against
the other.

AMOUNT
OF GUARANTY. The
amount of this Guaranty is Unlimited.
CONTINUING
UNLIMITED GUARANTY.
For good
and valuable consideration, CENTRAL CITY VENTURE, LLC ("Guarantor") absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to COLORADO BUSINESS BANK
("Lender") or its order, in legal tender of the United States of America, the
indebtedness (as that term is defined below) of CC TOLLGATE LLC ("Borrower")
to
Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty. Under this
Guaranty, the liability of Guarantor is unlimited and the obligations of
Guarantor are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS
GUARANTEED.
The
indebtedness guaranteed by this Guaranty includes any and all of Borrower's
indebtedness to Lender and is used in the most comprehensive sense and means
and
includes any and all of Borrower's liabilities, obligations and debts to Lender,
now existing or hereinafter incurred or created, including, without limitation,
all loans, advances. interest, costs, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit
card
indebtedness, lease obligations, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower,
or any of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any
of
them; and whether any such indebtedness is voluntarily or involuntarily
incurred, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined; whether Borrower may be liable individually or
jointly with others, or primarily or secondarily, or as guarantor or surety;
whether recovery on the Indebtedness may be or may become barred or
unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; and whether the
Indebtedness arises from transactions which may be voidable on account of
infancy, insanity, ultra xxxxx, or otherwise.
DURATION
OF GUARANTY.
This
Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of
any
acceptance by Xxxxxx, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will
continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before
receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally
paid and satisfied and all of Guarantor's other obligations under this Guaranty
shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty,
Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor's written notice of revocation
must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Xxxxxx's address listed above
or
such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of
this
Guaranty will apply only to advances or new Indebtedness created after actual
receipt by Xxxxxx of Guarantor's written revocation. For this purpose and
without limitation, the term "new indebtedness" does not include Indebtedness
which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated,
undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined
or due. This Guaranty will continue to bind Guarantor for all indebtedness
incurred by Xxxxxxxx or committed by Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor's
written notice of revocation, including any extensions, renewals, substitutions
or modifications of the Indebtedness. All renewals, extensions, substitutions,
and modifications of the indebtedness granted after Guarantor's revocation,
are
contemplated under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to
be
new Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor's estate as to Indebtedness
created both before and after Guarantor's death or incapacity, regardless of
Xxxxxx's actual notice of Guarantor's death. Subject to the foregoing,
Guarantor's executor or administrator or other legal representative may
terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have
terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or
termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from
any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining
Guarantors under this Guaranty. It
is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of
indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges
and agrees that reductions in the amount of Indebtedness, even to zero dollars
($0.00), prior to Guarantor's written revocation of this Guaranty shall not
constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon
Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the
guaranteed indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the indebtedness
guaranteed may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).
GUARANTOR'S

in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness. If
payment is made by Xxxxxxxx, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third
party, on the Indebtedness and thereafter Xxxxxx is forced to remit the amount
of that payment to Xxxxxxxx's trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person
under any federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors,
the
Indebtedness shall be considered unpaid for the purpose of the enforcement
of
this Guaranty.
Guarantor
further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions
to
the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff, counterclaim,
counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim, demand or
right
may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTOR'S
UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made
with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that,

law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by law or public policy.
RIGHT

To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all
Guarantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other
account). This includes all accounts Guarantor holds jointly with someone else
and all accounts Guarantor may open in the future. However, this does not
include any IRA or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would

by
applicable law, to hold these funds if there is a default, and Lender may apply
the funds in these accounts to pay what Guarantor owes under the terms of this
Guaranty.
SUBORDINATION
OF XXXXXXXX'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR.
Guarantor agrees that the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now
existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor
may
now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes
insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may
have
against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may
now
or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent
liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment
for
the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets
of
Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Xxxxxx and Guarantor
shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness
of Borrower to Lender. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which
it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower;
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this
Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Xxxxxxxxx agrees, and Xxxxxx is
hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing
statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take
such
other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve
and
enforce its rights under this Guaranty.

Interpretation.
In all
cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used
in
this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural
where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than

will
not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the
provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found
to
be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are
corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities,
it
is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor
or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under
this Guaranty.
