extend credit and other financial accommodations to Borrower, Guarantor, for
value received, does hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantee the prompt
and full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Indebtedness when due or
declared to be due and at all times thereafter; provided, however, Guarantor's
obligations hereunder for that portion of the Guaranteed Indebtedness that
represents principal shall be limited to the sum of (a) the cash received
contemporaneously herewith by Borrower in the amount of $3,500,000 from the
proceeds of the Term Note, which amounts paid down certain notes owed to
Guarantor by Borrower, and (b) any cash proceeds of the Revolving Note received
by Guarantor from time to time.
3. Character of Obligations.
------------------------
(a) This is an absolute, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment
and not of collection and if at any time or from time to time there is no
outstanding Guaranteed Indebtedness, the obligations of Guarantor with respect
to any and all Guaranteed Indebtedness incurred thereafter shall not be
affected. This Guaranty and the Guarantor's obligations hereunder are
irrevocable and, in the event of Guarantor's death, shall be binding upon
Guarantor's estate. All of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be conclusively
presumed to have been made or acquired in acceptance hereof. Guarantor shall be
liable, jointly and severally, with Borrower and any other guarantor of all or
any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.
(b) Lender may, at its sole discretion and without impairing its rights
hereunder, (i) apply any payments on the Guaranteed Indebtedness that Lender
receives from Borrower or any other source other than Guarantor to that portion
of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, if any, not guaranteed hereunder, and (ii) apply
any proceeds it receives as a result of the foreclosure or other realization on
any collateral for the Guaranteed Indebtedness to that portion, if any, of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness not guaranteed hereunder or to any other indebtedness
secured by such collateral.
(c) Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released,
diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by the existence of any other guaranty
or the payment by any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness and, in the event Paragraph 2 above partially limits Guarantor's
-----------
obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall
continue until Lender has received payment in full of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness.
(d) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be released, diminished,
impaired, reduced or affected by, nor shall any provision contained herein be
deemed to be a limitation upon, the amount of credit which Lender may extend to
Borrower, the number of transactions
2
between Lender and Borrower, payments by Borrower to Lender or Lender's
allocation of payments by Borrower.
(e) Without further authorization from or notice to Guarantor, Lender may
compromise, accelerate, or otherwise alter the time or manner for the payment of
the Guaranteed Indebtedness, increase or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
release or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers, or allow substitution of
or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral and other
security or subordinate the same.
4. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants the following to Lender:

expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, Guarantor, or (ii) if Guarantor is
a partnership, the requisite number of its partners have determined that this
Guaranty may reasonably be expected to benefit, directly or indirectly,
Guarantor; and

not relying on such financial condition or collateral as an inducement to enter
into this Guaranty; and
(c) Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from Borrower on a continuing
basis information concerning the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor

this Guaranty and any other agreements executed by Guarantor contemporaneously
herewith, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and any
other agreements executed by Guarantor contemporaneously herewith do not and
will not violate (i) any agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party,
(ii) any law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority to which
Guarantor is subject, or (iii) its articles or certificate of incorporation or
bylaws, if Guarantor is a corporation, or its partnership agreement, if
Guarantor is a partnership; and
(e) Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation,
warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this

continue, transfer or pledge any material portion of its assets for less than

as the Lender may require, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; and

Documents that apply to Guarantor; and
(d) Guarantor shall promptly inform Lender of (i) any litigation or
governmental investigation against Guarantor or affecting any security for all
or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or this Guaranty which, if determined
adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon
the financial condition of Guarantor or upon such security or might cause a
default under any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) any material adverse change in
the financial condition of Guarantor.

amended and modified from time to time, the "Schlotzsky's Inc. Term Note");
---------------------------
provided, with respect to a financial covenant default, such default shall
--------
only be an Event of Default under the Loan Documents if such financial
covenant is the consolidated working capital, consolidated net worth,
leverage or fixed charge coverage covenants or ratios and only upon the
failure of Guarantor to cure or obtain a waiver of such default within
sixty (60) days of the date of such default.

in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine.
(d) Should Lender seek to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder

substantive or procedural, that (i) Lender first enforce any rights or remedies
against Borrower or any other person or entity liable to Lender for all or any

judgment first be rendered against Borrower or any other person or entity, or
that Borrower or any other person or entity should be joined in such cause, or
(ii) Lender first enforce rights against any collateral which shall ever have
been given to secure all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or this
Guaranty. Such waiver shall be without prejudice to Lender's
5
right, at its option, to proceed against Borrower or any other person or entity,
whether by separate action or by joinder.
(e) In addition to any other waivers, agreements and covenants of
Guarantor set forth herein, Guarantor hereby further waives and releases all

of any obligation contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, governing
or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, whether occurring by

all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or this Guaranty; (v) the taking

(b) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor, any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or otherwise, all
as though such payment had not been made.
(c) In the event Borrower is a corporation, joint stock association or
partnership, or is hereafter incorporated, none of the following shall affect
Guarantor's liability hereunder: (i) the unenforceability of all or any part of
the Guaranteed Indebtedness against Borrower by reason of the fact that the
Guaranteed Indebtedness exceeds the amount permitted by law; (ii) the act of
creating all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness is ultra xxxxx; or (iii)
the officers or partners creating all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness
acted in excess of their authority. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that
withdrawal from, or termination of, any
6
ownership interest in Borrower now or hereafter owned or held by Guarantor shall
not alter, affect or in any way limit the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
9. Actions Against Guarantor. In the event of a default in the payment or
-------------------------
performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness when such
Guaranteed Indebtedness becomes due, whether by its terms, by acceleration or
otherwise, Guarantor shall, without notice or demand, promptly pay the amount
due thereon to Lender, in lawful money of the United States, at Lender's address
set forth in Subparagraph 1(a) above. One or more successive or concurrent
-----------------
actions may be brought against Guarantor, either in the same action in which
Borrower is sued or in separate actions, as often as Lender deems advisable. The
exercise by Lender of any right or remedy under this Guaranty or under any other
agreement or instrument, at law, in equity or otherwise, shall not preclude
concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. The books and
records of Lender shall be admissible as evidence in any action or proceeding
involving this Guaranty and shall be prima facie evidence of the payments made
----- -----
on, and the outstanding balance of, the Guaranteed Indebtedness.
10. Payment by Guarantor. Whenever Guarantor pays any sum which is or may
--------------------
become due under this Guaranty, written notice must be delivered to Lender
contemporaneously with such payment. Such notice shall be effective for purposes
of this paragraph when contemporaneously with such payment Lender receives such
notice either by: (a) personal delivery to the address and designated department
of Lender identified in Subparagraph 1(a) above, or (b) United States mail,
-----------------
certified or registered, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to
Lender at the address shown in Subparagraph 1(a) above. In the absence of such
-----------------
notice to Lender by Guarantor in compliance with the provisions hereof, any sum
received by Lender on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be
conclusively deemed paid by Borrower.
11. Death of Guarantor. In the event of the death of Guarantor, the
------------------
obligations of the deceased Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue as an
obligation against his estate as to (a) all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness that
is outstanding on the date of Guarantor's death, and any renewals or extensions
thereof, and (b) all loans, advances and other extensions of credit made to or
for the account of Borrower on or after the date of Guarantor's death pursuant
to an obligation of Lender under a commitment or agreement described in
Subparagraph 1(d) above and made to or with Borrower prior to the date of
-----------------
Guarantor's death. The terms and conditions of this Guaranty, including without
limitation the consents and waivers set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof, shall
-----------
remain in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness described in the
preceding sentence in the same manner as if Guarantor had not died.
12. Notice of Sale. In the event that Guarantor is entitled to receive any
--------------
notice under the Uniform Commercial Code, as it exists in the state governing
any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any collateral securing all
or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or this Guaranty, reasonable notice
shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, at the address for Guarantor set forth in Subparagraph 1(c)
-----------------
above, ten (10) days prior to the date any public sale, or after which any
private sale, of any such collateral is to be held; provided, however, that
-------- -------
notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other reasonable time
shall be sufficient.
7
13. Waiver by Lender. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any
----------------
right hereunder or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of
such right. In no event shall any waiver of the provisions of this Guaranty be
effective unless the same be in writing and signed by an officer of Lender, and
then only in the specific instance and for the purpose given.
14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender,
----------------------
its successors and assigns. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and
Guarantor's heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives and
successors, including without limitation any person or entity obligated by
operation of law upon the reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change
in the organizational structure of Guarantor.
15. Costs and Expenses. Guarantor shall pay on demand by Lender all costs
------------------
and expenses, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, administration,
enforcement and/or collection of this Guaranty. This covenant shall survive the
payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.
16. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is held by a court of
------------
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or
future laws, such provision shall be fully severable, shall not impair or
invalidate the remainder of this Guaranty and the effect thereof shall be
confined to the provision held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable.
17. No Obligation. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an
-------------
obligation on the part of Lender to extend or continue to extend credit to
Borrower.
18. Amendment. No modification or amendment of any provision of this
---------
Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by an officer of
Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given.
19. Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are
-----------------
cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy which Lender may
otherwise have at law or in equity or under any instrument or agreement, and the
exercise of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair
the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other rights or remedies. This
Guaranty, whether general, specific and/or limited, shall be in addition to and
cumulative of, and not in substitution, novation or discharge of, any and all
prior or contemporaneous guaranty agreements by Guarantor in favor of Lender or
assigned to Lender by others.
20. Governing Law, Venue. This Guaranty is intended to be performed in the
--------------------
State of Texas. Except to the extent that the laws of the United States may
apply to the terms hereof, the substantive laws of the State of Texas shall
govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this
Guaranty. In the event of a dispute involving this Guaranty or any other
instruments executed in connection herewith, the undersigned irrevocably agrees
that venue for such dispute shall lie in any court of competent jurisdiction in
Bexar County, Texas.
8
21. Compliance with Applicable Usury Laws. Notwithstanding any other
-------------------------------------
provision of this Guaranty or of any instrument or agreement evidencing,
governing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, Guarantor
and Lender by its acceptance hereof agree that Guarantor shall never be required
or obligated to pay interest in excess of the maximum non-usurious interest rate
as may be authorized by applicable law for the written contracts which
constitute the Guaranteed Indebtedness. It is the intention of Guarantor and
Lender to conform strictly to the applicable laws which limit interest rates,
and any of the aforesaid contracts for interest, if and to the extent payable by
Guarantor, shall be held to be subject to reduction to the maximum non-usurious
interest rate allowed under said law.
22. Gender. Within this Guaranty, words of any gender shall be held and
------
construed to include the other gender.
23. Captions. The headings in this Guaranty are for convenience only and
--------
shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.
24. Right of Revocation. Guarantor understands and agrees that Guarantor
-------------------
may revoke its future obligations under this Guaranty at any time by giving
Lender written notice that Guarantor will not be liable hereunder for any
indebtedness or obligations of Borrower incurred on or after the effective date
of such revocation. Such revocation shall be deemed to be effective on the day
following the day Lender receives such notice delivered either by: (a) personal
delivery to the address and designated department of Lender identified in
Subparagraph 1(a) above, or (b) United States mail, registered or certified,
-----------------
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to Lender at the address
shown in Subparagraph 1(a) above. Notwithstanding such revocation, Guarantor
-----------------
shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until payment in full to Lender
of (a) all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness that is outstanding on the effective
date of such revocation, and any renewals and extensions thereof, and (b) all
loans, advances and other extensions of credit made to or for the account of
Borrower on or after the effective date of such revocation pursuant to the
obligation of Lender under a commitment or agreement made to or with Borrower
prior to the effective date of such revocation. The terms and conditions of this
Guaranty, including without limitation the consents and waivers set forth in
Paragraph 7 hereof, shall remain in effect with respect to the Guaranteed
-----------
Indebtedness described in the preceding sentence in the same manner as if such
revocation had not been made by Guarantor.
