HEALTHCO-3 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its

Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are
defined in Exhibit I to this Agreement. References herein and in the Exhibits
and Schedules hereto to the "Agreement" refer to this Agreement, as amended,
restated, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its
terms.
The Borrowers wish to borrow funds from the Lender secured by the
Collateral and the Lender is prepared to make such loans on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
COMMITMENT; AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS
Section 1.01. Revolving Advances. (a) The Lender agrees to lend to the
Borrowers subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, on
any Funding Date, such amounts as may be requested by the Borrowers (each such
borrowing, a "Revolving Advance" and the outstanding principal balance of all
Revolving Advances from time to time, the "Loan").
(b) Each Revolving Advance shall be in an amount equal to $100,000
or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof and shall be made on the
date specified in the Written Notice or telephonic notice confirmed in writing
as described in Section 1.03 hereof.
Section 1.02. Revolving Commitment and Borrowing Limit. (a) The
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Advances outstanding at any
time shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 (such
amount, or such greater amount after giving effect to an increase pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, the "Revolving Commitment"), and (ii) the
Borrowing Base as of such time (the lesser of (i) and (ii) being the
"Borrowing Limit").
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may
borrow, repay (without premium or penalty) and reborrow the Loan.
(c) If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Loan
exceeds the Borrowing Limit at such time, the Borrowers shall promptly, in
accordance with Article II hereof, eliminate such excess by paying an amount
equal to such excess until such excess is eliminated in full.
(d) The Authorized Representative of the Borrowers may request that
the Lender increase (but not decrease) the Revolving Commitment, and, the
Lender, in its sole discretion upon such request, may decide to increase the
Revolving Commitment, provided, that such request shall not be made more than
twice during each calendar year; and further provided that the Revolving
Commitment, as so increased, shall in no event exceed $20,000,000. Each such
increase shall be in an amount equal to $2,500,000 or an integral multiple of
$2,500,000 in excess thereof and the Borrowers shall, upon the effective date
of such increase, pay to the Lender an amount equal to 1.50% of any such
increase.
Section 1.03. Notice of Borrowing; Borrowers' Certificate. Whenever the
Borrowers desire to make a borrowing of a Revolving Advance on a Funding Date,
the Authorized Representative of the Borrowers shall give the Lender not later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), at least one Business Day's prior Written
Notice or telephonic notice from an Authorized Representative of the Borrowers
confirmed promptly in writing (which notice shall be irrevocable) of its
desire to make a borrowing of a Revolving Advance. Each notice of borrowing
under this Section 1.03 shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit XII
hereto (each a "Borrowers' Certificate") and specify the date on which the
Borrowers desire to make a borrowing of a Revolving Advance (which in each
instance shall be a Funding Date) and the amount of such borrowing. The
Authorized Representative of the Borrowers shall attach to the Borrowers'
Certificate the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Authorized
Representative of the Borrowers to the Lender on the immediately prior
Thursday (or, if such Thursday was not a Business Day, the next following
date), which figures shall have been confirmed (and, if necessary, adjusted)
by the Program Manager in consultation with the Borrowers. The Lender shall
take all reasonable efforts to cause the Program Manager to examine and
confirm information provided in each Borrowing Base Certificate within two
Business Days of receipt thereof.
Section 1.04. Termination of Revolving Commitment. On the Maturity
Date, the Revolving Commitment shall be canceled. Upon such cancellation, the
Revolving Advances (together with all other Lender Debt) shall become, without
further action by any Person, immediately due and payable together with all
accrued interest thereon to such date plus any fees, premiums, charges or
costs provided for hereunder. Upon the termination of the Revolving
Commitment on any date prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (unless such
termination results from the effectuation of the Securitization or other
financing arrangement of Holdings and/or the Borrowers with the Lender), the
Borrowers shall pay to the Lender the Early Termination Fee, if any.
Section 1.05. [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 1.06. [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 1.07. Interest and Non-Utilization Fee. (a) Interest on Loan.
The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Advance made to it outstanding from time to time (i) on each
Interest Payment Date, and (ii) on the Maturity Date (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) upon demand, in each case at an interest rate per annum equal to
the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Revolving Advance
plus 3.25%. The Lender agrees to consider adjustments downward of the
interest rate set forth above, based on the successful financial performance
of the Borrowers resulting from acquisitions following the Closing Date;
provided, that this sentence shall not constitute (nor be construed as
constituting) an obligation of the Borrowers to make any interest rate
reduction.
(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, while any Event of Default is continuing, interest on the
Loans shall be payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to four percentage
2
points (4.00%) in excess of the highest rate then otherwise applicable to such
Loan.
(c) LIBO Rate Determination. The Lender, upon determining the LIBO
Rate shall promptly notify by telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or in
writing the Borrowers of such rates. Such determination shall, in the absence
of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers.
(d) Non-Utilization Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on
the first Funding Date of each month a fee (the "Non-Utilization Fee") equal
to an annual rate of 0.375% on the average amount, calculated on a daily
basis, by which the Revolving Commitment exceeds the outstanding amount of the
Loan during the prior month.
Section 1.08. Renewals. (a) The Borrowers may, from time to time
following the Initial Funding Date and prior to the Maturity Date, renew all
or a portion of their outstanding Revolving Advances so long as the aggregate
principal balance of the portion of the Revolving Advance made to the
Borrowers being renewed, if any, is $100,000 or an integral multiple of
$10,000 in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not
be entitled to renew any Revolving Advance, or portion thereof unless all
accrued interest on the Revolving Advance renewed through the date of such
renewal shall have been paid in full.
(b) Each renewal by the Borrowers of an outstanding Revolving
Advance or portion thereof shall be made on notice to the Lender given not
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date at least two Business Days'
prior to the last day of the Interest Period just ending for such Revolving
Advance. Each notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) by Borrowers of the
renewal of a Revolving Advance or portion thereof, shall be in writing or by
telephone from the Authorized Representative of the Borrowers confirmed
promptly in writing and shall specify the amount of such renewal of the
Revolving Advance or portion thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the
Borrowers shall not be entitled to renew a Revolving Advance or a portion
thereof, if at the time of the selection of such renewal there shall exist a
Default or an Event of Default.
(c) Any Revolving Advance or portion thereof as to which the Lender
shall not have received a proper notice of renewal as provided in this Section
1.08 or notice of payment or prepayment by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) at least
two Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period just ending for
such Revolving Advance shall, unless a Default or Event of Default has
occurred, either be paid in full or if not paid in full, shall be converted,
in whole or in part, to a new Revolving Advance on the last day of the
Interest Period.
Section 1.09. Computation of Interest. (a) Interest on the Loans and
fees and other amounts calculated by the Lender on the basis of a rate per
annum shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360 day
year.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other
Document shall be stated to be due and payable on a day which is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing
interest on such payment; provided, however, that if such extension would
cause a payment of a Revolving Advance to be made, or the last day of such
Interest Period for a Revolving Advance to occur, in the next following Month,
3
such payment shall be made and the last day of such Interest Period shall
occur on the next preceding Business Day.
Section 1.10. Procedures for Payment. (a) Each payment hereunder shall
be made not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in
lawful money of the United States of America to the Lender without
counterclaim, offset, claim or recoupment of any kind and free and clear of,
and without deduction for, any present or future withholding or other taxes,
duties or charges of any nature imposed on such payments or prepayments by or
on behalf of any Governmental Entity thereof or therein, except for Excluded
Taxes. If any such taxes, duties or charges are so levied or imposed on any
payment to any Lender, the Borrowers will make additional payments in such
amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Lender,
after withholding or deduction for or on account of all taxes, duties or
charges, including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 1.10, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. Whenever any
taxes, duties or charges are payable by the Borrowers with respect to any
payments hereunder, the Borrowers shall furnish promptly to the Lender
information, including certified copies of official receipts (to the extent
that the relevant Governmental Entity delivers such receipts), evidencing
payment of any such taxes, duties or charges so withheld or deducted. If the
Borrowers fail to pay any such taxes, duties or charges when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Lender the required
information evidencing payment of any such taxes, duties or charges so
withheld or deducted, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender for any
incremental taxes, duties, charges, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes, any intangibles tax or any other sales, excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies now or hereafter assessed that arise from and
are attributable to any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or other Documents and any
and all recording fees relating to any Documents securing any Lender Debt
("Other Taxes").
(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender for the full amount of
any taxes, duties or charges other than Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any taxes other than Excluded Taxes and Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 1.10)
duly paid or payable by the Lender and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
Indemnification payments shall be made within 30 days from the date the Lender
makes written demand therefor.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained
in this Section 1.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and
interest hereunder indefinitely.
Section 1.11. Indemnities. (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify the Lender within ten days of demand against any actual and direct
loss or expense which the Lender or its branch or Affiliate may sustain or
incur as a consequence of: (i) the payment or prepayment of the principal
amount of any Loan made to it or any portion thereof, on any day other than
the last day of an Interest Period or the payment of any interest on any Loan
made to it, or portion thereof, on a day other than an Interest Payment Date
for such Loan; or (ii) the failure by the Borrower to accept or make a
4
borrowing of a Loan or a renewal of a Loan after it has requested such
borrowing, conversion or renewal; in each case including, but not limited to,
any loss or expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any portion
thereof. The Lender shall provide to each such Borrower a statement,
supported when applicable by documentary evidence, explaining the amount of
any such loss or expense it incurs, which statement shall be conclusive absent
manifest error or bad faith.
(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Lender and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, representatives,
counsel and employees and each other Person, if any, controlling them or any
of its Affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (each an
"Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) and
liabilities which may be incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified
Party with respect to or arising out of the commitments hereunder to make the
Loans, or the financings contemplated hereby, the other Documents, the
Collateral (including, without limitation, the use thereof by any of such
Persons or any other Person, the exercise by the Lender of rights and remedies
or any power of attorney with respect thereto, and any action or inaction of
the Lender under and in accordance with any Security Document), the use of
proceeds of any financial accommodations provided hereunder, any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding brought or threatened relating
thereto, or the role of any such Person or Persons in connection with the
foregoing whether or not they or any other Indemnified Party is named as a
party to any legal action or proceeding ("Claims"). The Borrowers will not,
however, be responsible to any Indemnified Party hereunder for any Claims to
the extent that a court having jurisdiction shall have determined that any
such Claim shall have arisen out of or resulted principally from (a)(i)
actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Party by reason of
the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified
Party, or (ii) in violation of any law or regulation applicable to such
Indemnified Party (except to the extent that such violation is attributable to
any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement by or on behalf of the
Borrowers, or any Subsidiary of any Borrower, in each case, as determined by a
final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) a
successful claim by any Borrower against such Indemnified Party ("Excluded
Claims"). The Indemnified Party shall give the Borrower prompt Written Notice
of any Claim setting forth a description of those elements of the Claim of
which such Indemnified Party has knowledge. The Lender, as an Indemnified
Party shall be permitted hereunder to select counsel to defend such Claim at
the expense of the Borrowers and, if such Indemnified Party shall decide to do
so, then all such Indemnified Parties shall select the same counsel to defend
such Indemnified Parties with respect to such Claim; provided, however, that
if any such Indemnified Party shall in its reasonable opinion consider that
the retention of one joint counsel as aforesaid shall result in a conflict of
interest, such Indemnified Party may, at the expense of the Borrowers, select
its own counsel to defend such Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim.
The Indemnified Parties and the Borrowers and their respective counsel shall
cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any investigation,
trial and defense of any such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.
Section 1.12. Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the
Borrowers' obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of a
borrowing, conversion or renewal, the Lender may act without liability upon
the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Lender in good faith to be from
5
an Authorized Representative of the Borrowers prior to receipt of written
confirmation.
Section 1.13. Maximum Interest. (a) No provision of this Agreement
shall require the payment to any Lender or permit the collection by any Lender
of interest in excess of the maximum rate of interest from time to time
permitted (after taking into account all consideration which constitutes
interest) by laws applicable to the Lender Debt and binding on any Lender
(such maximum rate being the Lender's "Maximum Permissible Rate").
(b) If the amount of interest computed without giving effect to
this Section 1.13 and payable on any interest payment date in respect of the
preceding interest computation period would exceed the amount of interest
computed in respect of such period at the Maximum Permissible Rate, the amount
of interest payable to the Lender on such date in respect of such period shall
be computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate.
(c) If at any time and from time to time: (i) the amount of
interest payable to any Lender on any interest payment date shall be computed
at the Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the preceding subsection (b); and
(ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of
interest otherwise payable to the Lender would be less than the amount of
interest payable to the Lender computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate, then
the amount of interest payable to the Lender in respect of such subsequent
interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Maximum
Permissible Rate until the amount of interest payable to the Lender shall
equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Lender
if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the
preceding subsection (b).
ARTICLE II.
COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION
Section 2.01. Collections on the Receivables. (a) The Lender shall be
entitled with respect to all Receivables, (i) to hold as collateral all

follows: FIRST, to the Lender, an amount in cash equal to the Interest
Shortfall, if any, until such amount has been paid in full; SECOND, to the

Lender, an amount in cash equal to the payment of any other Lender Debt due
and payable on such Funding Date, if any, until such amount has been paid in
full; and FIFTH, to the Borrowers, all remaining amounts of Collections.
Section 2.03. Distribution of Funds at and after the Maturity Date or
upon an Event of Default. At the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the rights and
remedies of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, the Lender shall
distribute any and all Collections and any other proceeds arising from any
collection or any Collateral to the Lender as follows: FIRST, to the Lender,
an amount in cash equal to any and all accrued fees and collection costs as
set forth in Section 5.05, until such amount has been paid in full; SECOND, to

been funded in full; THIRD, to the Lender, an amount in cash equal to the
principal amount of the Loans, until such amount is paid in full; FOURTH, to
the Lender, an amount in cash equal to the payment of any other Lender Debt
due and payable on such Funding Date, until such amount has been paid in full;

or the earlier maturity of such portion of such Loan by acceleration or
otherwise.
ARTICLE III.

GUARANTY, dated as of August 31, 1998, made by Xxxxx Xxxx (the
"Guarantor") in favor of DAIWA HEALTHCO-3 LLC ("Lender").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Lender is party to that certain Loan and
Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Loan
Agreement"), among In-House Rehab, Inc., In-House Medical Resources, Inc., RT
Group, Inc., Doctors Rehab & Therapy, Inc., Daily Rehabilitation Institute of
Ponte Vedra, Inc., Gateway Rehab, Inc., In-House Rehab Partners, LLC,
Perennial Health Management, Inc. and Rehab Tools, Inc. (each individually, a
"Borrower" and, collectively, the "Borrowers"), and In-House Rehab
Corporation, as Primary Servicer and Guarantor ("Parent"). All terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan
Agreement.
The Guarantor, is a substantial equity holder of the Parent and will
derive substantial benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Agreement.
It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Loan Agreement
and the making of any financial accommodations thereunder that the Guarantor
shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
Lender under the Loan Agreement to make Loan to Borrowers or other financial
accommodations under the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows:
SECTION 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due of
all Lender Debt under the Loan Agreement (the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and
the Guarantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) paid or incurred in enforcing
any rights under this Guaranty; provided, however, that the aggregate amount
of payments of Guaranteed Obligations made or to made by the Guarantor
hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000.
(b) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Guarantor hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any
and all present or future taxes unless required by law.
SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Agreement 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
Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are
independent of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or of
any other guarantor under any other guaranty and a separate action or actions
may be brought or prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty,
irrespective of whether action is brought against the Borrowers or any other
guarantor or whether the Borrowers or any other guarantor are joined in any
such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected or released in
any way, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any
guaranty, agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the
"Documents");
(b) 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 any Document
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any taking and holding of collateral or additional guarantees for
all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, alteration,
exchange, substitution, transfer, enforcement, waiver, subordination,
termination or release of any collateral or such guarantees, or non-perfection
or delay in perfection of any collateral, or any consent to departure from any
such guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any commercially reasonable manner of
sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other assets of any Borrower or any other Person;
(e) any consent by Lender, any Borrower, or any other Person to the
change, restructure or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
a Borrower, or any of their affiliates and any corresponding restructure of
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other restructure or refinancing of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of a Borrower.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby
consents to, and hereby agrees, that the rights of Lender hereunder, and the
liability of the Guarantor hereunder, shall not be affected by any and all
releases of any collateral, whether for purposes of commercially reasonable
sales or other dispositions of assets or for any other purpose.
SECTION 3. Waivers. The Guarantor hereby waives:
(a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty;
(b) any requirement that the Lender or any other Person protect, secure,
perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any
right or take any action against the Borrowers or any other Person or any
collateral; and
(c) any duty on the part of the Lender or any other Person to disclose
to the Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operation
or condition of the Borrowers and their assets now known or hereafter known by
such Person.
SECTION 4. Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution. Until the later to
occur of the Maturity Date and payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations,
the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which he may
now or hereafter acquire against any Borrower that arises 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 against a Borrower or any collateral which
the Lender now has or hereafter acquires, 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 a Borrower or, directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or other right. If any
amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence
at any time prior to the later to occur of the Maturity Date and payment in
full of all Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be deemed to have been
paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit
of, the Lender, and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender 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
Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other
amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. The Guarantor
acknowledges that he will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by the Documents and that the waiver set
forth in this subsection is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants as follows:

notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any
other Person is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by

(b) he has, independently and without reliance upon the Lender and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made his own

the prior calendar year end to the Lender.
SECTION 7. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Lender (and, if an amendment, by the Guarantor), and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
SECTION 8. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other Document.
SECTION 9. Continuing Guaranty; Assignment. This Guaranty is a
continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the
